[Rat cat] Mirror City

Bai Yutang leaned against the bedside for a while, but his mind was in a mess, full of those two words from Zhan Zhao, "Help me".

Apart from these two words, Bai Yutang couldn't think of anything.The thinking ability he was proud of disappeared after experiencing this dream, his brain stopped, and he couldn't think about anything except these two words.

Anyway, sitting on the bed, unable to think about anything, Bai Yutang simply got out of bed, stepped on the floor with his bare feet, the cold feeling from the soles of his feet climbed up his ankles, and the blood rushed to the heart in the blood vessels, even after the surging blood He heated up, but the coldness still made his heart throb.

Bai Yutang walked to the French windows and opened the curtains with a swish. The sky outside was gray, just like a dream.A faint dawn dawned in the sky.Bai Yutang leaned against the floor-to-ceiling windows, squinting at the gray sky outside.

Traveling back and forth between dream and reality in such a trance, Bai Yutang saw from darkness to dawn in the blink of an eye. The long time of leaning on him also made his whole body ache, and his legs almost lost consciousness.

Bai Yutang rubbed his sore neck and walked into the living room, where Lu Fang and the others were sitting on the sofa watching the news. "Morning." Bai Yutang greeted them feebly.

"Fifth, are you alright?" Han Zhang noticed that Bai Yutang was particularly listless today, and asked worriedly.

"It's okay, I just didn't sleep well." Bai Yutang yawned and lied casually.Brothers will not pursue things that I don't want to say too much.Bai Yutang has always been grateful for their understanding of him.

Lostly eating the breakfast that Min Xiuxiu prepared for himself, Bai Yutang gave Min Xiuxiu a sharp eye without any surprise, "I said Yutang, at least pay attention when eating. Those who don't know think there is something wrong with my cooking."

"How come?" Bai Yutang replied flatteringly, "Sister-in-law's craftsmanship is nothing to say." Speaking of Min Xiuxiu's craftsmanship, Bai Yutang couldn't help but start to imagine what Zhan Zhao's craftsmanship would be like.

"...an ancient tomb was discovered in the suburbs...the stele was seriously damaged...it is suspected to be from the Northern Song Dynasty...it is now handed over to...for preservation..." While distracted, Bai Yutang heard the sound of the news broadcast.

what happened?Bai Yutang just turned his head to the side, and then his eyes widened in shock.

The one who was more shocked than Bai Yutang was Lu Fang who was holding the remote control.He swore that he just wanted to turn up the volume, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as he raised his arm, he heard Bai Yutang say "Big brother" loudly.

Bai Yutang had never called him so loudly before.Lu Fangzheng wanted to turn around and ask Bai Yutang what happened, but Bai Yutang directly answered the question he hadn't had time to ask.

Bai Yutang directly pressed the pause button, and moved the news forward for a few seconds, and the image of the ancient tomb reappeared on the screen.

He knows this tomb!Because of the excitement, Bai Yutang's whole body trembled. When the ancient mirror was ejected from the dreamland, those fragments kept flashing in his mind. He couldn't grasp each one accurately, but he kept one of the countless fragments. impression.

Countless impressions and countless information gave him a headache at that moment, almost exploding.But now, Bai Yutang felt that the pain at that time was meaningful.

Among those fragments, Bai Yutang saw a tomb. He didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now he remembered it when he saw it on the TV screen. Excluding the details that he couldn't remember clearly, the outline of the whole tomb was exactly the same.

In reality, the stone tablet of this tomb was destroyed, but in his dream, he saw two names written on this tombstone, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao!This is the place where Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were buried together.

"Help me." Bai Yutang felt that he understood the meaning of Zhan Zhao's words.The collapsed dream last night, Zhan Zhao's abnormal movement, and this ancient tomb that was discovered.

Bai Yutang remembered that he hadn't contacted Zhan Zhao for several days. He remembered that when they separated, Zhan Zhao told him that he would have an archaeological trip soon.

It is absolutely impossible for things to be so coincidental.Bai Yutang believed that the dream last night was related to the discovered ancient tomb, so he immediately called Zhan Zhao.

"Bai Yutang?" Zhan Zhao sounded surprised because he hadn't contacted him for several days.But Bai Yutang couldn't take care of that much anymore.

"Zhan Zhao, I read the news just now. Is the newly discovered ancient tomb on the outskirts of Kaifeng mentioned in the news that you are going to dig later?" Bai Yutang asked anxiously.

Zhan Zhao on the other end of the phone was stunned because Bai Yutang hadn't shown any curiosity about his work before, but he still replied, "Yes. The tombstone of this ancient tomb is seriously damaged. We are going to Entering the tomb, what's wrong with you? The voice sounds weird."

Zhan Zhao is not stupid, he immediately thought of something when he heard something was wrong with Bai Yutang, "Did you dream again last night?"

"Yes, I had a dream last night, and I saw this tomb in my dream." Bai Yutang didn't have time to explain more to Zhan Zhao, "Are you leaving now?"

"No." Zhan Zhao's answer made Bai Yutang heave a sigh of relief, "Gongsun and I, as well as Big Brother Bao, are still preparing staff at the school, and there are still a few days to prepare..."

"Well, you wait for me at school. I have something very important to talk to you about. I'll be right there!" After hanging up the phone, Bai Yutang rushed back to the room, and left home with the mirror in his arms.

Behind him, Lu Fang and the others looked at Bai Yutang's back worriedly.Although the short communication between him and Zhan Zhao just now was not continuous, they managed to figure out a few things.

Bai Yutang was dreaming again.Bai Yutang's dream is related to the tomb in the news.Although they were very curious, they still didn't catch up. There are some things they don't need to know thoroughly, as long as Bai Yutang is fine.

Bai Yutang stepped on the gas pedal and rushed towards Zhan Zhao's school at full speed, while Zhan Zhao stared at his phone for a long time without regaining consciousness, obviously he hadn't digested this reality yet.

"What's the matter?" It was rare to see Zhan Zhao lost in thought during work, so Gongsun Ce stepped forward to ask worriedly.

Zhan Zhao came to his senses, but still couldn't believe it, "Bai Yutang is coming."

"Bai Yutang?" Although he knew that Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao had become good friends during his business trip, he still didn't understand why Bai Yutang came to this place.

"He knew where we would be working from the news, and he said he was dreaming again."

"Oh. Then?" Gongsun Ce also learned a thing or two about Bai Yutang's dream from Zhan Zhao, which made him even more interested in Bai Yutang's ancient mirror.It was really like a cat was scratching in his heart, and this also made him even more resentful.

But then, Gongsun Ce got an even more unbelievable answer from Zhan Zhao—"Bai Yutang said that he knew the owner of that dream, and it was probably the person he saw in the dream."

"What?" Gongsun Ce's eyes lit up immediately. Although they didn't know what was going on, they might get more information before they started exploring.

And the most important thing is that Bai Yutang will most likely bring that mirror with him when he comes here, which means that Gongsun Ce can get his wish.So when Zhan Zhao proposed to go downstairs to wait for Bai Yutang, Gongsun Ce excitedly pushed him down, almost pushing Zhan Zhao downstairs.

So when Bai Yutang reached the teaching building downstairs, he saw Zhan Zhao waiting at the door.Zhan Zhao still looked very energetic, and seeing him like this, Bai Yutang felt a lot more relaxed.

After stopping the car, Bai Yutang saw the cardboard box placed on the rear seat through the rearview mirror. He put the mirror inside, and someone knocked on the car window.

Bai Yutang turned his head and saw Zhan Zhao standing outside the car door, bending over and looking at him worriedly.Bai Yutang lowered the car window and forced himself to face Zhan Zhaowei.Then he was flicked on the forehead by Zhan Zhao, of course it didn't hurt very much.

"What are you doing?" Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao in confusion.

Zhan Zhao gave him an annoyed look, "Haggard like this after only a few days apart? It's so ugly." After Bai Yutang got out of the car, Zhan Zhao still pulled him up and down to check him up and down, making sure that Bai Yutang was just out of spirit. He was relieved.

Bai Yutang also let Zhan Zhao toss around, and he didn't move out the box from the rear seat until Zhan Zhao let go.Zhan Zhao stood beside him, and he knew what was inside just by looking at the box.

"Gongsun is waiting for us in the research room." Zhan Zhao pressed the floor in the elevator and confirmed with Bai Yutang again, "Are you sure you're okay?"

Bai Yutang was holding the box in both hands, so he bumped Zhan Zhao lightly, "I'm still a little tired. But today we have to make this matter clear. By the way, Gongsun won't pounce on me and grab my mirror, right?"

"It's hard to say." It was rare for Bai Yutang to talk poorly in front of him, and Zhan Zhao responded with a smile, "Have you insured it?"

"It's hard to say." Bai Yutang found that as long as he was in front of Zhan Zhao, it was easy for him to relax. After just a few back and forth conversations, Bai Yutang felt a lot more relaxed.

The truth is just like what Zhan Zhao said, Gongsun Ce's reaction is really quite "difficult to say".To be precise, both Zhan Zhao's and Bai Yutang's guesses have been confirmed.

What is normal is that Gongsun Ce really came up and took the box from Bai Yutang's hand as soon as he entered the door, just like Bai Yutang thought.

As Zhan Zhao said, it is hard to say that Gongsun Ce stepped forward to take the box with a "businesslike" expression on his face.It was as if what Bai Yutang was holding was his research project.

Gongsun Ce carefully took out the mirror from the box, and gave a sigh of fascination.Seeing that Gongsun Ce was about to fall into work mode again, Bao Zheng coughed twice quickly, grabbed Gongsun Ce's shoulder to make him turn his head, and pulled him to sit opposite Bai Yutang.

Is this how he works?Bai Yutang raised an eyebrow at Zhan Zhao in disbelief, Zhan Zhao touched his head in embarrassment, and pulled Bai Yutang to sit down.

Looking at his own mirror sadly, Gongsun Ce gave Gu Bao a glance, and then focused on Bai Yutang, "Mr. Bai, I heard from Zhan Zhao that you had a dream again last night, what happened? Is it related to our next project?"

"I never said who the person I dreamed of was before, but I think you, Mao, have already guessed it." Bai Yutang took out the book he had borrowed from Old Man Shen from the box, and handed it to Zhan Zhao.

"No gain?" Seeing Bai Yutang shaking his head, Zhan Zhao couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"If this mirror reflects the owner's life, I think the owner of this mirror should be one of Bao Zheng's guards...well, it's not you." Noticing the expressions of Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang said to Bao Zheng nodded.

Bao Zheng stood at the back a little speechless, why did he lie on the gun without saying a word... His face turned dark, and it was not his fault that he was as famous as Bao Zheng.Bao Zheng sat beside Gongsun Ce mournfully, looking at Bai Yutang with a bitter face.

Bai Yutang looked away, "I also know that your explanations are correct, but my dream changed last night. The dream last night was very unstable, and the whole space was distorted and collapsed. I have seen the guard before The scene of his death, and in the dream last night, before he died, he looked up at me."

Not only Bai Yutang found it unbelievable, but after he said this, the other three present all gave a "huh", especially Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce.

"And he was still trying to talk to me, but he couldn't hear the sound, but the two words should be 'help me', and then the whole dream collapsed, and I was ejected." Speaking of last night's dream, Bai Yu Tang still couldn't let go.

"It's impossible." Gongsun Ce was a little excited.Bai Yutang just felt baffled, so he had no choice but to look at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao first told Gongsun Ce not to get excited, and then explained to Bai Yutang, "Common sense doesn't make sense. Just like I told you before, the essence of a mirror is to reflect, to reflect, so to record and then project. But you said that in a dream People notice you and try to talk to you, which is impossible from common sense or common sense. Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless it's not just what the mirror lets you see." Gongsun Ce's voice suddenly interjected between the two, and Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at Gongsun Ce at the same time.

Gongsun Ce rushed back to the table again, this time it was not only Gongsun Ce, Zhan Zhao also ran over with Gongsun Ce, and then Gongsun Ce buried his head in the mirror, not knowing what to do, while Zhan Zhao kept handing out materials and reagents hand tools.

Bai Yutang blinked in disbelief, and Bao Zheng nodded sympathetically at Bai Yutang, "Zhan Zhao has no right to call Gongsun, the two are exactly the same..."

Bai Yutang nodded in sympathy.Then he and Bao Zheng could only sit on the side in silence, not knowing what those two workaholics were doing there, and finally bowed their heads to drink tea.

They didn't know how long they waited, but they heard Zhan Zhao's excited voice, "Gongsun, here you are." At the same time, Gongsun also happily responded to Zhan Zhao.

"Uh, you can go up now." In the past few ten minutes, Bao Zheng taught Bai Yutang the painful experience of disturbing the two of them on the way to work, so now the experienced experiencers nodded, and Bai Yutang stepped forward with confidence.

"What happened?" Bai Yutang and Bao Zheng asked curiously.Then as soon as they approached the table, Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce tacitly took off their own eyes and put them on for Bai Yutang and Bao Zheng.

Bai Yutang and Bao Zheng looked at the mirror, and then they saw a trace on the mirror, it was very shallow, and it was really hard to find if you didn't look carefully.

"Is this blood?" Bao Zheng was also very experienced in these things, so he recognized it right away.

"Yes, it's blood." Gongsun Ce patted Bao Zheng excitedly, and Bai Yutang immediately looked at Zhan Zhao warily. Although Gongsun Ce would not hit him later, it does not mean that Zhan Zhao would not be beaten by Gongsun Ce. It was broken.

Sure enough, just as Bai Yutang turned his head, he saw Zhan Zhao's raised hand. If he hadn't noticed it in time, he would have made intimate contact with his back later on.

Do you dare to hammer it down and try?Bai Yutang glared at Zhan Zhao.Only then did Zhan Zhao withdraw his hand embarrassingly, not daring to dare.After confirming that Zhan Zhao would not do it again, Bai Yutang looked at Gongsun Ce.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the blood of the owner of the mirror. There is a part of the owner on this mirror, and part of him is still lodged on this mirror. That's why the memory changes appear in your dreams. trying to communicate with you."

Gongsun and Zhan Zhao were excited like a child who discovered something new. "In other words, mental power?" Bao Zheng summed up a word uncertainly.

What is rare is that Gongsun is very satisfied with his summary this time, "Yes, spiritual power, in short, everything like it, they exist and are attached to something. Mr. Bai, what is the other party trying to tell you?"

"It's your project. When I was ejected from the dreamland, I saw the same tomb. I think it is very likely that it has something to do with your project." Bai Yutang said as tactfully as possible.

"You mean the owner of this mirror wants to prevent us from entering his tomb?" How could Gongsun Ce not know what Bai Yutang was talking about.

"This is not just his tomb, it's his tomb with others!" Bai Yutang blurted out in a moment of excitement.Zhan Zhao and the others looked at him in surprise.

"I remember you told me that you knew the owner of the tomb." Only then did Zhan Zhao remember.

Gongsun Ce looked at Bai Yutang, and all three looked at Bai Yutang together.Bai Yutang's back tensed, what should he say?Tell them this is where "Zhan Zhao" and "Bai Yu Tang" are buried together?

Just as Bai Yutang was thinking hard, Zhan Zhao suddenly stopped, "Wait... did you hear anything?"

"Sound? No." Both Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce looked at Zhan Zhao strangely, but Zhan Zhao still looked left and right, trying to find out the source of the sound.

Bai Yutang suddenly had an idea, "Could it be that mirror?" According to what Bai Yutang said, as Zhan Zhao approached the mirror, the voice that was almost ignored gradually became clear...

What is it... As if bewitched, Zhan Zhao picked up the mirror.

"Knife... sword..."

"Knife? Sword?" Zhan Zhao murmured, but for a moment, he felt dizzy.
