Reading Agreement

Now that the glazed nail can't come out, it has to come out, and if it doesn't come out, it has to come out.Gao Yang took a deep breath, wiped his bloody hands off his shirt, then held a length of colored glass nails by the hem of his clothes, and exerted force again.The nail moved out half a millimeter from the arm with difficulty, and the huge pain surrounded him in an instant. He felt that if he didn't exert any force, his previous efforts would be wasted due to loss of force.

Taking a deep breath again, Gao Yang held his breath and concentrated all his strength on his right hand. He only heard a soft snort, and suddenly his right hand exerted strength, and the claws grabbed the muscles, bones and blood vessels, and lifted the glazed nail out of his arm.

This time, he almost exhausted all his strength and exerted great force, so at the moment when the glass nail was pulled out, Gao Yang completely lost his balance and fell forward, and the sharp corner of the coffee table was about to pierce his left eye in an instant.

The glass nail was still tightly held in the palm of Gao Yang's hand, with blood and meridians sticking to it, his eyes were pitch black, but he didn't feel any pain in his eyes, he only felt his upper face being trapped in a big soft hand.

"Hurry up, there's one more." Shi Zhen pushed Gao Yang's head away, and wiped the blood stains on his hands with a paper towel.

Probably because of the extreme pain, Gao Yang's thinking was a little numb, he mechanically placed the glass nail on the coffee table, and continued to process the last one with the blade.The new nails that appeared on the table were longer than the previous ones, almost as long as the depth of an arm, and covered with grasping hooks for fixing, so densely packed that it was shocking.

To cut open the wound and pull out the nails, Gao Yang was already at his fingertips.Holding the tip of the raised nail, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Shi Zhen. His amber eyes were still bright, and he didn't have much fear.He asked in a hoarse voice: "Is it possible to start asking your questions after the nails are finished?"

"Yes." Shi Zhen said casually.

Gao Yang nodded, didn't say any more, continued to exert force, and painfully pulled out the ninth glazed nail.Putting it into the pile of glazed nails on the coffee table, Gao Yang sat down on the ground in relief, panting heavily.

"There is no medicine to stop the bleeding, do you want a painkiller?" The old man came in from outside, holding a medicine bottle and a glass of water.

Gao Yang's left hand could no longer be lifted completely, the blood clotted on the black leather buckle of his wrist, and the brown leather bracelet turned dark black.He had no time to think about other things, he took the pills given by the old man with his right hand shaking, without even reading the instructions, stuffed a few pills into his mouth, and swallowed them with water.

"Press on the bleeding port, and it will heal after a while." The old man looked at Gao Yang's blood-soaked arm, took out a pack of gauze and handed it to Gao Yang.

"You have quite a lot of medical products." Shi Zhen finished the game and changed his sitting position to look at Gao Yang at his feet.

Gao Yang's face was pale, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.He took some gauze to cover the bleeding wound, but soon the gauze was stained red with blood, so he added a thicker gauze on top of the original one to prevent the blood from seeping out.

"Sit on the sofa." Shi Zhen kicked Gao Yang with the toe of his shoe, motioning him to get up.

"Oh." Gao Yang got up with difficulty, and sat down on the single sofa on one side. Because of the pain, his whole body subconsciously bowed into a shrimp, trembling uncontrollably, while waiting for Shi Zhen to speak.

"What are you going to do with these nails? I'll pack them up and take them home." Shi Zhen glanced at the coffee table, the nails no longer glowed dimly, and returned to the original three primary colors.

"Throwing in the trash can is useless." Gao Yang replied hoarsely.

"Is it specially made for the old lady in Boss Yu's corridor?" Shi Zhen started playing the tower card game again, with an extremely indifferent expression.

Gao Yang calmed down, narrowed his eyes, and hid some emotions: "Yes. When the three-color glazed nails were delivered, they had already added incantations related to specific people, so no matter how you read them Read thoughts about the man in the hallway, not anyone else."

"I know." Shi Zhen said flatly, and continued to play a new game of tower cards: "The three-color glazed nail is the medium, the medium that carries the soul of you and another person, and it cannot be read by others."

Gao Yang's eyes flickered, his brows frowned slightly, and his right fist was tightly clenched.

Shi Zhen flicked the phone screen and said, "But I remember that after you left Boss Yu's shop, you once took out a few nails, and today every nail hole on your arm is pressed with a nail. Who do you want to read? So it’s better to pull it out, it’s safer.”

Gao Yang sneered: "What do you have to read?"

"I have nothing to read." Shi Zhen raised his eyebrows: "But you took the initiative to deliver it to your door twice today. It really makes people wonder what kind of account your little abacus is for?"

Gao Yang raised his head, looked at Shi Zhen and said, "I told you, I don't want to go back and read about that person in the corridor again."

Shi Zhen raised his eyebrows and said disapprovingly: "Oh, it seems that there is such a thing. What you said is so vague, how can I know whether it is true or not?"

"You're unreasonable, you." The old man couldn't listen anymore: "Besides, when have you ever worried that someone will read your mind, do you still need to read your mind? It's all written on your face! "

"The case is mine, you are just an audience." Shi Zhen pouted with a provocative expression.

The old man: "..."

After playing a round, Shi Zhen threw the phone aside and looked at Gao Yang: "So far, the identity of the contractor in Boss Yu's corridor is still a mystery, judging from the current situation, it seems that you don't know who you are reading. That being the case, how can you be sure that what you are going to read this time is the old lady in the corridor?"

Since we wanted to cooperate, Gao Yang didn't hide anything, he said truthfully: "Boss Fang said it directly. She told me that Boss Yu's contract has been transferred to our company, and I have to install the same three-color glazed nails in the corridor again. Read out the readings that you didn’t read last time.”

After hearing his words, Shi Zhenlue said sarcastically: "Mr. Fang is really not an ordinary theater manager, and his business scope is quite special."

"The theater is also an important business, and other businesses are also indispensable." Gao Yang straightened up a little, his face improved slightly, and the bleeding spots on his hands also decreased.

"Actually, if you read it carefully, everything will become clear?" Shi Zhen asked puzzledly, "It's just reading the old man's thoughts. Are you so resistant?"

People always see other people's doing things as simple, but if they are not in it, they don't know how difficult it is.Shi Zhen smiled wryly: "The three-color glazed nail is a good medium, but it also has another important function, which is to nail the soul. People have three souls and seven souls, and there are ten three-color glazed nails. Nine nails are used as mediums in the arms. There is another one nailed into the shoulder before the official reading, so as to stabilize the soul fire."

"Shoulders have two sides. Shouldn't there be two glazed nails for Nail Soul Fire?" Shi Zhen moved the cushion so that he could sit more comfortably.

Gao Yang explained: "The soul is originally an ethereal thing, so the glazed nail nailing the soul is traditionally regarded as an illusion. A glazed nail can be decomposed into two states, one is a real nail, and the other is an illusion. The virtual nails that come out are in a group of two, each occupying one side of the shoulder, in order to nail the soul in a virtual and real state, so that it does not leave the human body."

"You are in danger of losing your soul when you read a thought?" Shi Zhen understood a little bit. The three-color glazed nail is a medium and a barrier to hold the owner's soul. Those hooks densely covered on the nail wall should also serve as nails. Only in a fixed state of transformation can the owner's soul not be dragged away by another soul.

"The exact way to say it is that the soul is out of the body. If you are torn out of the body by the other party's soul while reading, you will basically be completely cold, and no one can save it." Gao Yang said flatly: "So, the first One word is involved, keeping a distance. Through the hidden thread released by the three-color glazed nail as a medium, touch the other party, read thoughts, and thus achieve the purpose of reading."

"No wonder you can read the thoughts of the monsters in the corridor through the door. There is a hidden thread that can penetrate everything." Shi Zhen blinked, and suddenly said, "No, it's three hidden threads."

"What?" Gao Yang looked at him, not understanding how he knew it was three.

Shi Zhen explained: "Three-color glazed nails, composed of the three primary colors red, yellow and blue, are the basic source of color. I remember that there are countless lines drawn on the murals in the corridor, and they strung together various shapes. These lines and shapes are used The colors are still the three primary colors, red, yellow and blue, and only when the lines and graphics are superimposed, some superimposed colors are reselected, and the original basic colors are still red, yellow and blue."

The old man asked curiously: "And then."

"From this point of view, the people who build the surrounding corridors want to take the secret room as the birthplace of everything. The three primary colors of the glazed nails are connected in series with the three primary colors of the outer corridor, spreading the entire corridor until the end." Shi Zhen slightly Squinting his eyes, he said rather puzzledly: "The origin is the secret room, the passage and the circular corridor, and the result is the central secret room. Could it be that he is going to make a process?"

"What journey?" The old man became more and more curious as he listened.

Shi Zhen replied: "The journey of life."

The old man was even more puzzled: "Where is this song coming from?"

"What is the content of the libretto? That depends. What did he read?" After finishing speaking, Shi Zhen looked at Gao Yang coldly, waiting for him to speak.

"Are you sure you want me to join?" Gao Yang didn't completely trust Shi Zhen, he needed to get Shi Zhen to let him join the investigation again under the witness of the other's grandfather.

Shi Zhen sneered: "Accept, otherwise those nails will not be wasted."

"Can't you have a better tone and attitude?" The old man complained silently.

Shi Zhen glanced at him, pretending he didn't hear

"You should know that my short-term employment contract has actually been signed for three months, right?" Gao Yang didn't struggle too much. He wanted to stop reading that article completely. His only way now is to cooperate with Shi Zhen. Zhen can reveal all the truth before reading, then he may have a bargaining chip to avoid this dangerous and painful reading experience.

"I know." Shi Zhen nodded.

"The reason why this contract was signed for three months is because the other party has never wanted me to contact the person who is going to be read. Therefore, I have tried many methods and wasted a lot of time. For example, they brought some Read people's objects, let me perceive; or, take me to a place similar to a dark room, let me read. But all methods are useless, the other party has not released their thoughts, or in other words, the other party It wrapped my thoughts so deeply that I didn't read anything."
