After bidding farewell to the car owner who revealed the town's secrets, Renn walked towards Haiwei Town while thinking about the reason why Yin Nide asked him to come here.
If nothing else, Yin Nide is the girl from the strange family in the story, which answers some of Ren's doubts.
For a long time, Renn had wondered more than once why Yin Nide could always appear in places that he found incredible.
When Bricka was blocked, she could easily escape and make a big fuss in Koti with Renne, but as the queen, she returned to Bricka faster than Renne...
At first, he guessed that the other party, as a detective, had her own connections or assistance, allowing her to travel to and from various places quickly and efficiently.
But now it seems that this is not the case.
Yin Nide may have always been two people, that is, the girl and her sister mentioned by the car owner.
But this created several new problems. If what the car owner said was true, the family had been showing themselves as a family of three since they moved to Haiwei Town. No one else in the town had ever seen the so-called car.
There were signs that the twin sisters had lived. And the person who met the twin sisters sunbathing also confirmed that the sister he saw did not look like they were alive.
Even if he was wrong and his sister was alive, the family clearly had two children, but they didn't let anyone know about the existence of the sister. Even if the incident happened, they still wouldn't let the younger daughter appear. This is intriguing.
Could it be that the couple had intended the sisters to act as one person since childhood? What was their purpose?
What is the purpose of Yin Nide inviting herself to the so-called funeral?
Also, was the floating woman he saw in the secret room under the stairs at Brica Yinide's house the sleeping sister in the legend? Or was it the older sister?
Speaking of the funeral, Ren remembered what Lailin and the others mentioned about what Yin Nide was doing before this incident. It was said that after investigating some private matters for Lailin's cousin, Yin Nide took over another case of missing children in the local area.
"Remember it's called Copper Blue City."
Rene recalled what he heard at that time and took out his mobile phone to check the news about Copperblue City. The result surprised him.
"The multiple disappearances of children in Copperblue City are suspected to be caused by dragons?"
The first news about this case that I saw basically said that it was still under investigation and the murderer had not yet been determined, but Lane still saw something different.
Despite the efforts of the World Council to eliminate the impact, due to the large number of witnesses, the news that a giant dragon appeared in Copperblue City and caused damage can still see some discussion on the Internet, and some people suspect that it is the culprit of missing children (
At this time, Aleg has not yet taken action).
Unfortunately, there is too little relevant discussion, and we don’t know whether the “destruction” mentioned above includes casualties.
Renn could only guess based on the current situation that one of the two "Yin Nide" passed away.
This made him feel a little complicated. A friend may be played by two people. Now one of them is dead. Is Yin Nide considered alive or dead? Should he be sad about this?
.......
Returning to Highway Town, Renn decided to go to House 27 to have a look. After all, he hadn't even seen the funeral yet.
Judging from the behavior of the hostess of House No. 26 next door during the day, she had no idea about the funeral.
No matter how simple everything is, you have to make some preparations and find a piece of land to bury people? Besides, where are the people to be buried?
Arriving in front of House No. 27 at night, Ren climbed into the yard. He wanted to go in through the side window, but found that it was directly opposite the window of the house next to him. There was light coming from that house, and the hostess was clearing away the dishes.
.
In order to prevent being regarded as an unscrupulous person, Ren thought and simply entered through the front door. There were fewer people on the road at this time, and there was no light in this house, so it was relatively dark in front of the door.
Bowing to the front door, Ren put his hand on the door handle and was about to force it open, but before he could use any force, he found that the door had been opened at some point, causing him to move his whole body into the house.
pour.
Renn remembered clearly that the door was locked tightly during the day.
"Is it because I asked too many people about this house during the day and someone came to check it out?"
Out of confidence in his own strength, Ren steadied himself, got directly into the house, and closed the door.
Turning on his mobile phone and using the light emitted, Ren observed the situation inside the house.
The living room was empty, with only a set of tables, chairs, and a cabinet. There was nothing else. On the wallpaper on the wall, Ren saw some traces of fixed clocks, photo frames, or other decorations. It was estimated that they were all moved later.
gone.
I checked the drawers of the cabinet and found, as expected, nothing was left.
Renn looked at the kitchen, dining room, and bedrooms on the second floor, all with the same result. Except for the large furniture, they had all been moved.
But it’s not like I didn’t find it.
In a bedroom, Renn saw a tree-shaped height wall sticker next to the door. Several height lines were drawn with a pen on the branches on both sides, and they corresponded one to one. The position of the line drawn on the left was close to that on the right.
There must be a corresponding height.
It is recorded probably once a year. The bottom line is less than one meter high, and the top line is only half a head shorter than Renn.
Only the top one, the line on the right is obviously lower than the one on the left, and is hardly higher than the previous one.
From this point of view, we can indeed think that there were two children living in this home at that time. And the height of both sides was growing, which proved that the people in the town's guess was wrong.
Dead children will not grow taller.
"Um?"
Ren suddenly discovered that under the light of his mobile phone, there were lines on the wall that reflected a special light.
He squatted down and looked carefully. It turned out that the line recording the height was not drawn with ordinary strokes. In its thicker marks, there were densely arranged large series of numerical marks. The reflections he had seen before were the reflections of these numbers at specific angles.
Reflected.
He checked the other lines and found that they were all the same.
These digital imprints should have meaning.
Ren searched carefully and found the words "The color is extremely inconspicuous" at the bottom of the wall sticker, at the location of the tree roots. Searching these words together with the keywords of the wall sticker on the Internet, Ren found what he was looking for.
Something, this is the name of the company that makes wall stickers.
After finding their official website and through the above introduction, Renn basically understood the meaning of those numbers.
Although the products have been updated over the past twenty years, the technology used by this company has not changed much. The lines on the wall stickers are not artificially drawn with a pen, but the magic strokes of the wall stickers.
When someone stands in front of the sticker and measures their height, and the recording function is turned on, the magic brush strokes will automatically draw out the person's height - and record the scene in front of the wall sticker at the same time.
According to the introduction on the official website, if the energy supply of the wall sticker is normal, the scene recorded by it can be displayed in the form of projection at any time.
But the house in front of me has been abandoned for so long, and the supply has long been cut off.
Fortunately, there is a backup plan. Using the program downloaded from its website, you can also scan the digital imprints in the lines to see the scene at that time.
Lane fiddled with it, but when it came to scanning, he found that due to the darkness in the room, the digital prints under the scanning lens were reflective and could not be recognized.
"We can only wait until daytime."
He had no better idea, so he searched the whole house for a piece of cloth, found a place in the bedroom to wipe off the dust, sat down, closed his eyes and rested.
After a nap, it was already dawn when I woke up.
Renn opened the program on his phone again and scanned the bottom left line. The loading icon on the screen rotated for a long time. Just when Renn thought that too much time had passed and the numbers had expired, the screen finally appeared on the phone.
The lens is extremely magical. It is limited to an area of about one meter in front of the wall. Everything outside the boundary is pitch black. If you are looking at a projection, the effect should be very good.
On the screen, a girl of several years old was jumping up and down against the wall sticker, moving a little restlessly, and then she was probably stopped by her parents outside the camera, and then she stood still. The magic brush strokes on the wall sticker automatically
Draw a line on the top of her head, and when the strokes reach the end, the picture ends abruptly.
Everything looks normal, but what about the one on the right? How is her twin sister doing?
Ren pointed his phone at the line on the right, and after another long loading process, the original picture appeared.
A pair of adult hands held a girl who looked exactly the same and seemed to be sleeping soundly. They placed her in front of the wall sticker. Another girl ran over and supported her with one hand to keep her standing close to her.
Her forehead, and then her height was recorded with magic strokes.
Is this the sleeping sister?
Ren watched this scene several times, and his sister's behavior was really weird, including her expression and the state of her limbs and joints when she was being moved and supported. She didn't look like a living person at all.
people.
He then looked at the other records posted on the wall. They were all about the same scene. On the left was the record of the older and older girl alone, while on the right was the record of the younger sister who had never woken up with the help of three other people at home.
Measurement.
Could it be that he suffered from some illness and couldn't wake up from his sleep?
This was the only explanation Wren could find.
Only one time in the middle, when they were about eight or nine years old, the record was slightly different.
The right side is a normal girl, while the left side has become a sleeping person.
Have you changed positions?
Ren was quite puzzled when he saw it. Normally, there is no reason to switch sides when recording heights of two children. It would be more intuitive and obvious to draw a line all the way. Could it be that their parents were confused at the time, or did they just simply not care?
?
Since the subsequent records returned to normal, it may have really just been a mix-up.
After seeing the top, which was the last record, Renn discovered something different.
On the left, the girl is still in the process of being measured alone, but her expression is a little sad, as if her eyes have just cried. Renn guessed that this may be a recording made after her parents died unexpectedly.
The scene presented on the right left Ren speechless.
The parents' hands no longer appeared in the picture. The girl supported her sister to the wall alone. When she wanted to raise her head as usual, she finally couldn't help but hugged her sister, their foreheads touching each other, and burst into tears.
The magic brush strokes recorded the scene. No wonder the line on the right is lower than the left.
What happened next shocked Renn even more. Maybe it was usually done by her parents, but the girl forgot to turn off the record. After crying for a while, she let go and let her still-sleeping sister lean against the wall. Bottom left, she came to the camera.
A huge metal box with wheels on the bottom was pushed out.
The door of the box did not face the direction that the record could see, but as soon as Ren opened it, he saw the cold air billowing out. The girl hugged her sister and put her in, then pushed the box and left.
Then, due to leaving the range, the automatic function of the wall sticker was triggered, and the recording was terminated.
Maybe it was an instinctive reaction to seeing the cold air in the video, or maybe it was something else. In this deserted room, Renn suddenly felt a little creepy.
