On the first day of the middle school, Wu Ming took care of registration, receiving uniforms, books, visiting the school, introducing clubs, etc., all by himself. This kind of self-reliance and self-improvement will soon make the little devil who needs the company of his parents After the comparison, and because of his excellent grades, many clubs offered him an olive branch.
However, Wu Ming was not in a hurry at all, and was still planning to continue observing for a while.
Although he set the goal of climbing to the upper class of society, but joining the army? In politics? It doesn't seem to match his personality, but in the end, he is more optimistic about the business school, which trains students who are interested in the financial industry and business, and has a little relationship with his business, so it can be regarded as applying what they have learned.
"Boss, something is not right, I need you to come over and take a look!"
At the school gate, Wu Ming immediately saw Neville.
He was wearing clean and tidy clothes. Thanks to the income he got from Wu Ming, the Neville family had already moved out of the shanty town, which was considered to be struggling from the bottom of society.
"what?"
Wu Ming's original plan was not to make Neville the garbage king. As early as the summer vacation, he began to teach Neville some knowledge of appraisal science little by little, preparing to train him in the direction of an appraiser.
After arriving, everything must go through him first, and then the doubts and uncertainties will be sent to Wu Ming for the final check.
Moreover, many imitators have appeared near the garbage mountain recently. Although it is not a secret exposure, Wu Ming has also become a little vigilant. Anyway, there are still too few real good things in the garbage mountain. He is going to let Neville show his face in the next step. It is at least a little more likely that the banner of recycling old furniture at a high price will be spread around the streets.
However, it still feels a bit strange to watch a half-sized ghost call himself boss.
"Something's wrong?"
Wu Ming noticed that Neville's words were not uncertain, but something was wrong, which aroused his interest: "Tell me!"
"It was a music box with a unique shape, and it was not damaged at all. From the beginning, I wondered why the original owner would throw it away..."
Neville and Wu Ming walked on the road, and said solemnly: "Because Mary likes it very much, I let her play with it, but she has been saying that she can't sleep well these days, and she is having nightmares. Underneath, a little red girl came to play with her... "
"I'm afraid this is not a nightmare, is it?"
Wu Ming twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Of course this doesn't count, but what if the girl has no legs and still has blood and tears in her eyes?"
Neville was in a state of excitement. He came to look for Wu Ming as if he had rushed to the doctor: "It's been like this for several days in a row, but I brought the music box from Mary, but I didn't find anything unusual. It's just... After I shake it off…”
Neville said in a deadly tone: "It will always appear on Mary's bedside the next day without warning. This is definitely not a prank!"
If ordinary people listened to it, they might get pimples all over their bodies. After all, this is just like a ghost story.
But Wu Ming immediately became interested: "Take me to see it!"
'Extraordinary power? Could it be some wraith? '
Wu Ming clenched his fist.
Although he looks like a teenage kid now, his real physical strength is no worse than that of an adult.
Especially in the sea of consciousness, the accumulation of spiritual power has reached an astonishing level, this is his confidence!
Moreover, judging from Neville's description, this thing is not very harmful, it's just a little scary.
…
"I'm back, where is Mary?"
Neville took out the key, opened the door, and asked immediately.
"It's Neville, and Mr. Steven. Your sister should still be in the room. She's been screaming every night for the past few days, making her sleep bad. Maybe it's time to take her to see a doctor and prescribe some sleeping pills..."
A middle-aged woman was talking nonsense. She was Neville's mother, and her attitude was quite good at this time.
Perhaps, it was because Neville had become the breadwinner of the family, beyond his parents.
"I'll go see him!"
Neville frowned. He looked quite mature now, with a manly responsibility.
"Don't... don't come to me!"
In Mary's room, Wu Ming saw the little girl hiding in the corner, with dark circles and bags under her eyes, staring fixedly at a music box on the floor.
This little girl had met him before, and she was very sunny and cheerful, but now she has been tossed a little out of shape.
"well… "
Neville looked at Mary, stepped forward to put a quilt on her, and sighed again: "If it wasn't for this music box that would come back weirdly, I suspect that my sister has mental problems, and I'm going to take her to see a doctor..."
But now, this kind of thing is obviously beyond the reach of doctors.
So Neville immediately thought of Wu Ming, the boss. After all, the other party impressed him so deeply that he almost felt omnipotent.
"Is this the music box?"
Wu Ming picked up the small box in the center of the floor. The dark gold base looked quite heavy. When he opened it, there were two exquisite child dolls inside, a man and a woman. The man was wearing a suit and tie, and the woman was wearing a red dress. Holding a small ocean umbrella.
After the mainspring was wound up, the metal plate buckled the motor cover, and a burst of pleasant music suddenly emerged, and the two puppets slowly turned in circles under the music.
"Don't! Don't come here!"
But when Mary heard the voice, she held her head and screamed.
"Okay, okay, don't be afraid!"
Neville hurried to comfort him.
"Handmade, all parts are intact, this really shouldn't be thrown away as garbage, unless there is a story on it..."
Wu Ming looked at the delicate music box in his hand.
This kind of toy can only be owned by the upper class. Even if it is not an antique, the cost is quite expensive, not to mention that it has not been damaged, and no one will throw it around on purpose.
"This... I'll take it back and have a look!"
But within a short time, Wu Ming couldn't see anything, so he could only ask questions.
"Of course... After all, this is your thing..."
Neville scratched his head: "As long as it doesn't come back, it's best!"
…
Because he didn't dare to take this thing home directly. After all, Wu Ming didn't know if this music box was only for girls. It may not be able to bear it.
So, he went directly to the phone booth by the side of the road, put a coin into it, and dialed it a few more times before picking up the receiver.
"Hello, please tell me something!"
A sweet female voice came from the opposite side.
"Please transfer me to No. 7 White Oak Road, Sterling's house!"
"OK, just a second… "
Wu Ming waited for a while, and after a busy tone from the opposite side, Mrs. Sterling's voice came over: "This is the Sterling family, who are you?"
"I'm Steven, I have something to do with business, I'm going to stay out overnight!"
He made up an excuse at random.
Anyway, in the past few months, after showing a mature mind and strong earning ability, the family has gradually stopped treating him as a child.
"Don't you come back for dinner? It's really... okay, how careful are you, do you have enough money?"
Mrs. Sterling nagged for a long time before hanging up the phone.
Wu Ming rubbed his ears and came out, ready to go to the warehouse to deal with it all night.
Because of the funds, now his side is considered a shotgun change. Neville even rented a special warehouse to store miscellaneous things that Wu Ming might be interested in.
He was originally pure-minded, but now he felt dizzy when he saw the hill-like debris, and he had no intention of doing it alone.
Even if you want to work alone, at least you have to learn all of Wu Ming's skills.
"Really... This Neville accepts everything, and his eyesight really hasn't improved at all!"
The smell of the warehouse was really not that good. Wu Ming complained as soon as he entered. Immediately afterwards, he looked around in the pile of debris and found a few manuscripts that seemed to be some famous masters. He carefully clipped them, Ready to take it back.
It was gradually getting dark outside, Wu Ming found a blanket at random, sat cross-legged on it, and slowly started the "Great Compass".
After several years of deduction and training, he has now entered a new level, which may be called the second level. His mental strength has greatly improved, and his physical fitness is also beyond ordinary people.
"This world is quite tolerant of supernatural power, but I don't know that the supernatural events I encountered are still too few, and the inheritance is cut off?"
Wu Ming guessed.
Since he came to this world, there are only two things that he really encountered related to extraordinary power. One is the bank robber, Jack with Two Guns, and the other is the music box in front of him.
As his practice continued to deepen, he accumulated more and more doubts.
At this time, he did not use his mental power to detect the music box in front of him rashly, but turned the key to make the music box make a pleasant sound.
"If you can hear me, come to me!"
Wu Ming smiled slightly, and entered a deeper level of meditation amidst the wonderful music.
…
A fog emerged.
Feeling the weightlessness, Wu Ming raised his body and suddenly became sober.
Appearing in the surroundings is a small western-style building, exquisite furniture, and antiques on display, all of which show the wealth of this family.
"Has it invaded my dream?"
With a smile of unknown meaning on the corner of Wu Ming's mouth, he swaggered around the villa.
"Huh? It tastes good!"
He opened the wine cabinet, took out a wine bottle at random, took a sip after opening it, and nodded: "It's a very real dream, and it can restore all these things to perfection. It has great potential..."
jingle jingle...
At this moment, the melody exactly the same as the music box echoed, and behind Wu Ming, a sweet voice emerged: "Are you coming to play with me?"
He turned his head, and immediately met a pale face dripping with blood and tears!
