Chapter 25 "The Curse"

9:00

Shang Zipei's hand holding the phone trembled slightly, and her chaotic brain flicked through the clues faintly, but when she was about to catch them, she was invisible, only the foggy scene of the crime.

The disappearance of little love, the real ticking sound, the noise in the ear when waking up like a dream, the bear doll falling on the ground, obvious traces, the prison warden who suddenly ran away.

Everything seems so deliberate, and the connection becomes a connection, without any disguise to cover up, the mysterious planner seems to have predicted their every move.

Shang Zipei trembled a little, but immediately shook his head mockingly at himself, because no matter how he tried to modify this weird conjecture, it seemed to be an impossible nonsense, at least in her opinion. .

Maybe it was really because I was infected into a neurotic paranoid patient when I came to this place where everyone was in danger.

After wandering around a few times at a loss, she sat on a small stool next to the sofa, bent her body and moved her fingers narrowly, and her eyes rolled unconsciously. For some reason, there was always a feeling of guilt hovering in her heart, making her He dared not look directly into the warden's eyes.

He obviously didn't do anything wrong...

Time seemed to be muted at this moment, and the atmosphere around him settled in the silence until it seemed to be frozen, and he didn't intend to speak first to break the sudden silence.

"You're not feeling well. I'm going back to the dormitory. You should have a good rest!" He stood up awkwardly, without even looking at the warden, picked up the backpack on the desk, and walked towards the door, but he didn't open the office yet. The door was stopped by a deep voice.

"Wait..." The warden looked at Shang Zipei who had stopped, leaned back on the sofa, patted the seat beside him and said to Shang Zipei, "Come here, I have something to say." tell you."

"..."

I know what I shouldn't know, maybe I want to kill someone to silence me?

Although he was so fussy in his heart, he went straight to sit down and saw the warden's pale skin and eyes that could not be opened clearly. His mental state was indescribably depressed. In just a few 10 minutes, the change was so It's so big, how can you keep Shang Zipei from clicking his tongue?

"I won't hurt you!" The prison warden forced the corners of his mouth to curl up stiffly, and the smile that should have been kind on his pale face turned out to be stern, and the tearing sensation in her throat brought her Not only the pain, but also the unheard extreme voice, small and hoarse, said: "I just want to ask you..."

The pain was still tolerable, but the itching from her throat still made her unbearably cough twice, and then her chest rose and fell with a slightly larger curvature in the uniform, obviously she had been tortured a lot.

There was a trace of ridicule, but it soon faded away, and he said with an uncertain expression: "Would you like to hear me tell a story? About that cave..."

Shang Zipei subconsciously glanced at the direction of the bookcase. The little wolf was lying in the sun in front of the bookcase, enjoying the warmth of the sun. After hesitating for a while, he nodded. cause trouble.

"During the Shamaoji period, this was not an ordinary prison like it is now. At that time, it was the mansion of a famous healer, and because of a decree, all the healers at that time were brutally killed. "The warden coughed twice uncontrollably, but quickly continued, "Not only that, but at that time the city lord also launched an activity [burning books and healing], and all books and documents related to the healer were burned. , What are left now are just those fragments, even if there are complete ones, they are just ordinary healing or light skills, and the really practical and excellent skills have long since disappeared, let alone any superior inner skills."

"Our books have been transferred out again and again. When my ancestors found that there were only a few books left in the study room, they didn't realize the seriousness of the incident until then, so they immediately built this underground cave dwelling. In order to hide the only surviving books of healers, they were sandwiched in other templates." Originally, his eyes were filled with guilt, and he ignored Shang Zipei, instead, it was more like a person talking to himself, and continued Said: "The moment my ancestor was arrested, he also reminded his son thousands of times to protect the cave and the original book from generation to generation, so that no one can destroy a single bit."

"Afterwards, we have followed this sentence like guardians for generations, guarding this place secretly, and never abandoned it!" Said his eyes softly fixed on the wall, and gently stroked the wall with one hand. , I have been immersed in this humid environment without a brush for many years, and the paint leather turns into a meter when touched, "The words on this are invaluable today, but compared to the books inside, What are these things?"

The sharp-eyed Shang Zipei saw at a glance that although the peeling area was gray, there were a few characters similar to ancient Chinese, which added a little bit of credibility to the story for a while.

Speaking of this, the warden's emotions seemed to be a little uncontrollable and out of control again, his distorted face seemed to be holding back tears, and his voice became choked up, and he said: "But... the books in there, unexpectedly overnight In between, three books suddenly disappeared."

Shang Zipei, who was already serious, couldn't help but be tongue-tied after hearing this, and asked in puzzlement, "Are there only three copies?"

"There are 62 books in total, and three books are missing!" As if seeing through Shang Zipei's careful thinking at a glance, the warden shook his head sadly, and sighed in a deep voice: "It has nothing to do with the number, it's a kind of Faith, a kind of perseverance, a kind of responsibility.”

After looking at Shang Zipei's still puzzled eyes, he also gave up his intention not to explain further, but still couldn't help but shook his head and laughed at himself: "I'm so sad that I'm so overwhelmed by my sense of responsibility to a child." I don't know..."

After hearing these words, Shang Zipei curled her lips in dissatisfaction on the surface, although she was unwilling to refute the warden's contempt.

"Of course, of course, if it was just the three books that disappeared suddenly, I wouldn't be so embarrassed and flustered that I would reveal this secret that only generations of patriarchs would know in front of outsiders, or even faint after coming out." Pressing the corners of the beating eyes, Still continuing the previous topic, but leaving aside the beliefs and responsibilities that Shang Zipei did not understand, but the tone did not slow down, and the topic seemed to become heavy with her sigh, "What I am worried about is, Because of these two low-level skills of the mysterious level and one of the high-level skills of the imperial level, this already cold world is causing a bloodbath."

Shang Zipei's mouth was open, and his face could not conceal his surprise. Skills were divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Emperor, and each level was divided into four levels: lower, middle, upper, and excellent, the highest in the city. Even though the whole city is only a small city, if it is true as the warden said, then a defection will be unavoidable.

And the doubts that had been lingering in her heart disappeared, and Shang Zipei nodded suddenly. She understood why the dark period has passed safely, but the guardians are still unwilling to disclose these ancient skills to the public. World.

It has nothing to do with selfishness, closeness, or conformity. They are afraid that the announcement of this ancient technology will not bring about the prosperity and prosperity they imagined. The war, even brought disaster to oneself.

The people of the whole country are in dire straits, internal and external troubles...

"However, no matter how chaotic this world is, it has nothing to do with me. What I care about is the leak of the cave. Recently, the profession of healer has been awakened. If such a thing really happens, I am afraid it is not just a matter of two or three books. Let alone the thing to be protected, those lunatics will not let go even those of us who know the truth."

"Why are you telling me this..." Shang Zipei asked warily.

This matter involves a lot, and it is even more related to her family and life, and she is not on good terms with her, at most, she is just a stranger to talk to, even if it is a close friend or relative, she may not Clubhouse, let alone with yourself?

"Because you know about this matter, if you reveal it, you don't even think about being alone..." The warden looked at Shang Zipei expressionlessly, "It's not good for you to reveal this matter. It has nothing to do with you, I will find the thief, you just need to keep your mouth in check."

With a cold look in his eyes and a fierce look, he no longer has the kindness and amiability of the first meeting.She didn't doubt at all that maybe this person would aim some weapon at her neck in the next second, after all, she seemed to know something terrible.

"..."

Shang Zipei pursed her lips. She finally realized what curiosity meant when she killed the cat. She regretted leaving without turning around and at the same time was worried. She was worried that if she accidentally revealed it in a dream, it would not be the wrong of death. ?

"Okay, you can go..."

The warden closed his eyes, lowered his head wearily, and didn't look at Shang Zipei's gesture of turning his head three times. She felt that she needed to sort out what happened today.

Shang Zipei hugged the little wolf and ran out of the room like a god of plague, but when he reached the door, he still couldn't help turning his head to look at the warden, hesitated for a while and asked, "Don't you suspect it's me at all? After all... I've been in your office since the beginning..."

"Heh..." Still leaning on the sofa with his head up and his eyes closed, he didn't care about the problem of Shangzi wearing a thorn, and said with his eyes closed, "I don't have any skills. I have the reasons for your background information to come in. I also watched it last night, and most of it is correct, the only way out is that you are a member of the Dragon Clan... I don’t know if this counts as a clue.”

"You... how do you know?" He looked at the warden in astonishment.

Then the warden turned his head to look at Shang Zipei, and said: "First, I can feel that you are a pet master. Second, the amazing repairing power of the back of your head proves that you are a healer. Two combined Based on one's inference, the only result is that you are a dragon addict."

"But I would like to advise you, before you have the capital to gain a foothold in the mainland, don't make too much publicity, because you may be killed at any time..."

Gradually drifting away, the door was still open, and the words of admonition became smaller with her faster and faster pace. She held the backpack in one hand and hugged the little wolf in the other. It fell on the ground, and three books fell out of it, and the only one with a positive name and a recognizable name was the one in the middle.
