Chapter 55: Conditions for leaving (seeking a monthly ticket)
The internal structure of the house is very simple, with the left and right sides being pulled through to form a huge long strip of space.
The walls of the entire room are lined with closely arranged display cabinets, and the display cabinets are densely packed with neatly arranged items.
In the middle of the house, there are display cabinets placed side by side, and dim kerosene lamps are placed between these display cabinets for lighting.
To He Ao, this house didn't feel like a normal place for people to live, but rather like a ten-yuan store in a shopping mall, densely packed with various small commodities.
"Go in?"
Liu Nan looked at this scene and felt a little weird in his heart. Combined with the dim kerosene light and the thick fog outside, it looked a little scary and weird.
"Well, don't stay too far away from me."
He Ao nodded, released his grip on Liu Nan's wrist, and took the lead in stepping into the house.
The reason why he had been holding Liu Nan just now was because in the thick fog that blocked his vision, he could easily get lost once he let go. Although this house was weird, it had basic lighting and his vision would not be obstructed, so there was no need to keep holding him.
Yes, it also affects combat effectiveness.
Liu Nan lowered her head and glanced at her left wrist. He Ao didn't pay attention when he grabbed her wrist, and squeezed it tightly. Her originally white wrist was already slightly red, and there was a slight pain.
She pinched her sleeves, pulled them down to cover her wrists, and quickly caught up with He Ao.
"What's wrong?"
He Ao stopped in front of the display cabinet near the door, looking at the items in the display cabinet, and asked softly.
"It's nothing." Liu Nan peeled off her sleeves and showed He Ao the red spot on her wrist. She didn't hide it. It was a stupid thing to hide from each other and destroy trust between the two parties in a crisis. "My physical fitness is not good.
So good, so pampered."
Then she paused and said softly, "Thank you for protecting me just now."
When she said this, her heart beat faster.
The moment He Ao realized the danger, he grabbed her and rushed out of the door, and then he kept holding her in the fog. If He Ao had let go at that time, with that visibility, she might have been lost in the fog, in such a weird environment.
, she didn’t know what she would encounter.
"Oh, it's okay," He Ao said without raising his head, "You owe me two meals. I didn't bring a notebook. I'll write it down when I go back later."
She sighed, mentally explaining why her heartbeat had accelerated just now.
When people are in a dangerous situation like crossing a suspension bridge, their heartbeat will involuntarily accelerate. If you happen to meet another person of the opposite sex at this time, you may regard this feeling of accelerated heartbeat as love. This is the suspension bridge effect.
Unlike Liu Nan's ups and downs of mind, He Ao's state has always been calm, and he is carefully observing the items in these showcases.
"These look like they are collectibles."
Liu Nan stood next to He Ao. She stopped thinking about those strange things and began to observe these items.
In front of He Ao is a ceramic display cabinet. There are various ceramic creations on the display cabinet, such as vases, plates, and bowls.
In front of each exhibit is a small piece of paper with the name and brief introduction of the exhibit written on it.
For example, in front of Ho'ao is a blue and white porcelain bowl, with a note below saying
[Blue and white porcelain bowl-200 years ago]
What Liu Nan was looking at was the display cabinet next to the ceramic display cabinet. This display cabinet was filled with various bronzes that looked very old.
At the moment she was looking at an old small bronze tripod. This tripod looked to be at least several thousand years old, and underneath it was written,
[Four-legged bronze tripod-modern handicraft]
"Look inside."
He Ao stood up and motioned Liu Nan to go inside.
The information given by Zhang Anxia said that this yard will attract people passing by to bring antiques or special items from their homes. It seems that those things are put here for display.
Then why is this courtyard keeping them here?
As the two of them continued inside, a variety of strange items appeared on the display cabinets, including dolls, lollipops, old-fashioned shotguns, and even a small pink handcuff.
······
He Ao walked up and stretched out his hand to tug at the handcuffs. The handcuffs were loose and looked not very strong.
Then he put the handcuffs back in disgust.
It was at this moment that he felt like he was being watched again.
He raised his head and looked deep into the room, and the feeling of being spied on slowly disappeared.
He and Liu Nan continued to walk forward.
After crossing a certain line, the things on the display cabinet suddenly changed, and delicate insect corpses wrapped in amber began to appear, as well as prepared insect specimens. The further inside, biological corpses gradually replaced non-living items.
"ah!!!"
At this moment, Liu Nan suddenly screamed, and she looked forward tremblingly, "That cat."
He Ao followed her gaze and saw that under the dim light of the kerosene lamp, a black cat was squatting on the display stand, staring at the two people walking over.
It seems a bit ferocious and terrifying.
"It's a specimen."
He Ao walked forward and looked at the cat, marked below
[Stuffed Black Cat-While Hunting].
He Ao reached out and touched the cat's hair. The hair was very soft, but it had no body temperature.
This cat seems to have been taxidermied at the critical moment of hunting. It looks so lifelike that you can even feel its ferocity while hunting.
Next to it, there is a mouse eating rice, which is also lifelike.
"Heao, look."
Liu Nan had already walked to He Ao's side. She patted He Ao's shoulder tremblingly, signaling He Ao to look forward.
He Ao raised his head, and the display racks in front of them turned into large display racks. Various 'biological specimens' were placed in these display racks.
There are calves, piglets, adult pigs, adult cows, chickens, ducks, fish, and sheep.
He Ao walked through these 'specimens' step by step and reached the deepest part of the room, where there were two round platforms about ten centimeters high against the wall.
There was already someone standing on the platform on the left. It was a young man with closed eyes and tattered clothes. His body was stiff and he stood upright on the platform.
He Ao naturally knows this person
bull.
There was also a note taped to the platform at the young man's feet. He Ao squatted down and looked at the detailed content on the note, which read,
[bull]
He Ao was stunned.
Why bull?
All the annotations here are general categories of annotations. For example, the annotation for a pig is a pig, and the annotation for a cat is a cat. At most, some modifications and positioning can be added to slightly subdivide it, such as black cat and piglet.
The young man in front of me, according to this labeling, should be a 'human being' or a 'man'.
Why bull?
Isn't Bull just a code name?
He Ao stood up and looked at the young man standing in front of him. He stretched out his hand and pressed lightly on the young man's chest. There was still a slight rise and fall in his chest, indicating that the young man was still alive.
At the same time, behind He Ao, Liu Nan's eyes were attracted by a small printer in the corner beside him.
As her eyes moved towards the printer, the small printer suddenly started up, and a small note slowly came out of the printer.
Liu Nan subconsciously turned her eyes to the note, and a realization suddenly appeared in her mind:
'You can leave after sacrificing the items on the note.'
It was like the whisper of the devil.
Her eyes fell on the note and she saw the handwriting clearly.
