Inside the box was not something dangerous as I expected, but a stone.
The stone was black, with a bumpy surface and a bean-sized fluid attached to it. The fluid was also integrated with the stone and looked very hard, with a dark glow on the surface.
When I saw this stone for the first time, what came to my mind was a meteorite from outer space.
But is it really a meteorite? I'm not sure at all.
Sun Xiaoli leaned over and looked curiously into the red lacquer box: "What is this? Why does it look so strange?"
She asked me how I knew.
I shook my head and said, "I don't know either. It looks like a rare item."
Then I took the stone out of the red lacquer box.
The stone is very heavy, with a metallic texture on the surface, and it feels warm when you touch it.
After looking at it for a long time, I still didn't understand what it was. Even in the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes, there was no record or description of such a thing.
It seems that the only way is to go to the hospital and ask Xiong Nantian. That guy might know.
"Forget it, let's not waste brain cells, take this thing and go. Since it is suppressed under this 'Seven Evils Yin Coffin', the most fierce Yin evil place, it means that it must be extraordinary. Maybe it is really an extraordinary thing."
Sun Xiaoli nodded, then thought of something and said, "But, Brother Tianyi, what if my pendant attacks it again?"
Having said this, Sun Xiaoli stepped back, trying to stay as far away from this strange stone as possible.
I thought about it and felt that it was right.
I quickly took out a sealing talisman from my cloth bag and stuck it on the strange stone.
"Okay, this time, the aura of the stone is sealed and cannot leak out. The jade gourd pendant should not attack again."
Sun Xiaoli believed what I said and walked over to me with trust.
She reached out and touched the strange stone.
Then she said with joy, "It's true, Brother Tianyi, my pendant really didn't attack it."
Sun Xiaoli became more and more courageous. Then she took the strange stone from my hand and started patting it, as if she was picking watermelons.
It’s strange to say, when the strange stone was hit by Sun Xiaoli, a "squeaking" sound came from inside the stone, as if there was a living creature hidden inside the stone.
Sun Xiaoli was startled and the strange stone in his hand fell out of his hand.
She was so nervous that she actually scratched her finger.
The strange stone fell to the ground with a dull sound.
Sun Xiaoli's fingers were scratched by the flowing substance on the strange stone, leaving a shallow cut.
There were also a few drops of her blood on the stone.
"Ouch! That hurts! Could there really be a living creature hidden inside this thing?"
Sun Xiaoli said in horror, subconsciously keeping a distance from the strange stone.
I also heard the "squeaking" sound just now, as if someone was singing, but I'm not sure what that sound was.
At this time, the sound from the strange stone had disappeared.
I looked at Sun Xiaoli and asked, "Is your hand okay?"
Although Sun Xiaoli is gentle and extroverted, she is not a pretentious person.
She shook her head and said, "It's okay, just a little blood."
Hearing her say it was okay, I didn't take it seriously.
I squatted down, raised my hand and gently patted the strange stone.
Soon a series of "squeaking" sounds came from inside the stone again.
This time I heard it very clearly. The voice sounded like a baby's. It made me feel creepy and very strange.
What's even more strange is that the blood beads on the stone where there were a few drops of Sun Xiaoli's blood have disappeared.
This is inappropriate
You know, although the surface of this stone is bumpy, it is tough and smooth, and it is not easy to absorb blood. However, Sun Xiaoli's blood was sucked away.
Seeing that I was frowning and constantly shining the flashlight at the strange stone and observing it carefully, Sun Xiaoli came over again.
But I noticed that she was obviously still somewhat afraid of this strange stone.
I turned sideways and said to Sun Xiaoli, "Xiaoli, why don't you try using your blood? Your wound is bleeding now."
Sun Xiaoli was a little nervous, his face was not very good, and he said tremblingly: "Brother Tianyi, it's better not to try it. I always feel that there is something wrong with this stone."
I smiled and said, "Just a few more drops of blood, it's okay."
Sun Xiaoli finally compromised after my persuasion.
Then she squatted beside me, grinning and squeezed a few drops of blood from her fingers.
The blood dripped onto the strange stone and quickly seeped into it bit by bit.
At the same time, there seemed to be a smacking sound coming from inside the stone, like the sound of a child sucking his fingers.
“This is incredible!”
I exclaimed, thinking, could there really be a child hidden inside this strange stone
But it's impossible! Without oxygen, water, and food, how can a living creature live inside a stone? This doesn't conform to common sense.
Sun Xiaoli was frightened and sat down on the ground.
She grabbed my arm and buried her head in my arms: "Brother Tianyi, I'm so scared, is there a ghost hiding in this stone?"
A few black lines appeared on my head, and I thought to myself, this girl must have been scared by a ghost.
I patted the back of her hand and comforted her, "It's okay, I'm here."
Sun Xiaoli didn't say anything, but still held my arm tightly. I felt like she was almost growing on me.
I slowly moved forward, getting closer to the strange stone.
I patted the strange stone with my hand, and soon a squeaking sound came from inside the stone again.
I frowned and thought, could it be that this stone survives by sucking blood
I took out the knife and gently cut the palm of my hand.
In TV and movies, cutting the palm of your hand with a knife to let blood doesn't seem to be very painful. But I tell you, everyone, cutting the palm of your hand with a knife to let blood is really painful. Don't try it.
I clenched my hands into fists and blood kept dripping out from under my fists.
Drops of bright red blood flowed out and dripped onto the stone.
But what surprised me was that the strange stone did not absorb my blood.
I squatted there for five or six minutes, and my blood was still on the stone, not a bit seeping in.
Could it be that my blood type is wrong and the strange stone refuses to absorb it
This leaves me completely confused.
I reached out and patted the strange stone, but it still made a squeaking sound.
I think the only explanation is that there are many holes on the strange stone, and some of the holes are connected together to form a sound-making hole, which makes a sound when you clap your hands.
As for the issue of blood, I didn't think too much about it.
Sun Xiaoli said timidly: "Brother Tianyi, let's go. Don't take this thing."
I said, "No, this thing is very strange, we still have to take it back. Let's go, since you don't want to stay here, let's go back now."
Then I stuffed the strange stone into the red lacquer box.
We closed the lid of the box and walked towards the exit with Sun Xiaoli.
I didn’t know what Sun Xiaoli was thinking, but she still had her hand around my arm.
I pretended to cough twice, but she didn't pay any attention. I don't know what she was thinking.
When we were about to reach the exit, Sun Xiaoli asked me, "Brother Tianyi, do you really have a girlfriend?"
I was a little surprised and replied, "Yes!
What's wrong? "
Sun Xiaoli asked curiously, "But why didn't I see your girlfriend come to see you? We have been living together for a while, and your girlfriend didn't call you or come to see you. Doesn't she miss you?"
This question...
I thought about it for a moment and felt that there was no need to hide it from Sun Xiaoli.
After thinking for a while, I said, "I have a girlfriend, that's true. But my girlfriend has passed away. Not long ago, when I went to Miaojiang, her last soul was turned to ashes because of me... I am sorry for her and failed to protect her."
When I said these words, I felt uncomfortable in my heart, as if something had stabbed me hard.
I thought of Su Su again, and the love and help she had given me, but what had I done for her? It seemed like nothing!
I know that I owe Susu, and I always have.
Seeing me stop walking with a gloomy face, Sun Xiaoli said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Brother Tianyi, I said too much, I didn't expect your girlfriend was gone. I thought you broke up. If I knew she was gone, I wouldn't have mentioned it. Really."
To be honest, I now hate people mentioning my girlfriend Huang Susu. I feel like that's opening up my scars.
I came back to my senses, glared at Sun Xiaoli, and said coldly: "Okay, we've reached the exit, let's go up."
Sun Xiaoli was frightened by my appearance and subconsciously let go of my arm.
I ignored her and slowly walked towards the exit.
She followed me quietly.
In the dark underground space, she went up first and I was the last one to go up.
With a "bang", the iron plate of the underground space exit was heavily covered by me.
Ding Yuan was very happy to see that Sun Xiaoli and I came out safely.
He walked up to me, gave me a big hug, and thanked me, "Brother Tianyi, this time it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would have to stay down there. It's really too dangerous down there."
Xiao Huang and Xiao Yue bowed to me.
I didn't want to ruin the atmosphere, so I put on a little smile.
But my smile, at this moment, is uglier than crying.
Seeing me like this, Ding Yuan turned to ask Sun Xiaoli: "Miss Xiaoli, Brother Tianyi, what's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy?"
Sun Xiaoli was probably afraid that I would get angry, so she stayed away from me.
She crossed her hands, moved her fingers coyly, bit her lip and said, "It's me! It's me who made Brother Tianyi angry! I shouldn't have mentioned his girlfriend."
At this point Sun Xiaoli cried out “Oh my God!”
The policemen standing outside, as well as Ding Yuan and others, were staring at Sun Xiaoli and me with strange looks.
Ding Yuan was also a little embarrassed, but still asked me: "Brother Tianyi, are you okay?"
I said solemnly, "It's okay, let's go back. Your police have almost collected enough evidence, and Xiong Nantian should be convicted. He has done a lot of harm to people."
Ding Yuan nodded, as if he had thought of something. He came close to me and said in a low voice, "Brother Tianyi, the living Tibetan mastiff is gone. Earlier, the brothers upstairs said that a ball of black air attached to the Tibetan mastiff and ran out of the villa."
"I guess it's the ghost of the burning ghost. Is she coming to take revenge on us?"
This is indeed a problem.
I thought about it and said, "Even if the Blazing Ghost comes to take revenge, there is nothing we can do. Ghosts are elusive and ordinary people cannot deal with them. However, the Blazing Ghost should not be able to recover its soul in a short period of time. I will find her and kill her in the next few days."
At this time, a policeman ran over in a panic. He said to Ding Yuan breathlessly: "Captain, it's bad. Xiong Nantian is missing in the hospital..."
