Zhao Ying fumbled in her breast pocket for a while, "Great, I still have this."
Jiang Shan took a closer look and saw Zhao Ying reaching out and taking out a very thin... What is this? It seems a bit like a birthday candle?
"Before coming here, just in case, I found some candles and brought them with me." Zhao Ying looked dim. "It was my birthday two years ago and I was working overtime at the scientific research institute. They ordered a cake for me. The remaining A few candles.”
No wonder, in the past technological era, there was no place to sell things like candles if you wanted to buy them. Only things with special meanings like birthday candles were still produced by manufacturers.
Zhao Ying took out the lighter and struck it several times before the poor flame came out. She quickly put it on and lit it.
Even Jiang Shan would receive a small cake with candles symbolizing her age every year at the orphanage.
Although the candle was small, the light it burned seemed to give Zhao Ying reassurance. "Ashan, don't worry, I will definitely help you find a way out."
Jiang Shan looked at Zhao Ying, "Zhao Ying, do you think those named names, such as the place where the devil was born...do they have special meaning?"
Zhao Ying's face showed confusion, "I never thought that we don't even know what the origin means. I think these names are somewhat mysterious."
This kind of riddle-like thing really doesn't make people feel good. If you have the ability, just say it outright. The more secretive you do, the less candid you feel. And it was precisely because of these messy things that they came to the aquarium and were imprisoned.
Zhao Ying's expression was unfavorable at first glance.
Jiang Shan looked at Zhao Ying, wondering if he was comforted somewhere in his heart.
The previous remarks about demons were indeed not Zhao Ying's thoughts, but just a certain creature here.
"What's wrong, Ashan, why are you asking this?" Zhao Ying felt that Jiang Shan was hiding something.
Jiang Shan shook his head: "Nothing, just curious."
Just curious? Zhao Ying couldn't see Jiang Shan's expression clearly, but her carefulness made her feel that this matter was not simple: "Ashan, no matter what the...parasitic creature on my body said to you before, you have to remember that it is not me. "
It doesn't mean that she, Zhao Ying, will never say or do anything to hurt Jiang Shan.
Jiang Shan smiled for the first time: "Don't worry, I understand."
The two of them once again relied on a thin birthday candle to light up the road ahead. Zhao Ying said: "I suddenly had an idea. Even if the place we are now has deviated from the original route, no matter where it is, it still belongs to the ocean. Part of the museum. Remember what our mission said?"
Search the entire oceanarium to find anything that might be a clue.
Since it includes the entire aquarium, the place where they got lost is also included.
Jiang Shan had never thought about it this way before. This was an unusual way to go, but she was a road-crazy person who naturally trusted Zhao Ying and felt that what Zhao Ying said made sense.
"Then let's search carefully as we walk, no matter where we go."
Zhao Ying laughed: "That's right." Leave everything to the arrangements of the unknown. The end of science is metaphysics.
As a result, the mentality of the two people was different. Now they were a stable group. They no longer hurriedly just wanted to find the so-called exit. Zhao Ying held a candle and began to carefully observe every corner she passed.
"The secrets of the restaurant are hidden in the kitchen, and the secrets of the school are hidden in the dormitories, so if you just look at the countertop when looking for something, you will never find it."
Jiang Shan's heart moved. The secret of the orphanage is hidden in the old nurse's utility room?
Or in the dean's always-locked office?
Jiang Shan dispersed his thoughts for a while.
"There is a door here." Zhao Ying said suddenly from the front.
I saw a door on Zhao Ying's left hand side, and Zhao Ying was holding a candle and trying to observe on the door.
"It's an electronic lock." Zhao Ying seemed a little lucky, reaching out and pushing the door, "Then there's a high probability that it won't work..."
The door opened at Zhao Ying's fingertips.
All electrons are imaginary.
I actually experienced the novelty of sliding in and picking the lock in an old-fashioned way.
Jiang Shan immediately looked inside the door. There was a large space inside, with two rows of neatly placed cabinets.
This pattern looks a bit familiar.
Zhao Ying said: "Go in and take a look."
Zhao Ying took the lead and walked in, holding a candle and lighting it in a circle. Some oil dripped from the candle and burned Zhao Ying's fingers.
Even though she was wearing gloves, she subconsciously bared her teeth.
I haven't seen this hot feeling for a long time. It made Zhao Ying truly realize the feeling of being alive.
As the days of doomsday pass, many people fall into a state of unconscious numbness.
"It doesn't seem like there was a house number on the door just now." Or maybe it was eroded after it was posted.
Looking at the rows of cabinets, there are still a few names vaguely visible on the cabinet doors, "Is this a storage place for employees' personal belongings?"
Anyone who has ever worked knows that many times personal belongings cannot be brought to the work station. Some companies will provide a special place for you to store personal belongings and take them away after get off work.
A special place like the aquarium will not allow you to bring anything to work casually.
And these cabinet doors are almost always open. Some even had their keys thrown on the ground.
It's basically empty inside.
Occasionally, there are some ashes that can no longer be identified and remain on the bottom of the cabinet.
I always feel that everything in this room feels messy.
"It feels like a scene of escape," Zhao Ying was dumbfounded. "The valuables were taken away in a hurry, and they didn't even want to lock the door."
After the accident, similar scenes can be seen almost everywhere.
It's all a mess, staggering here and there.
Some even threw their children away.
Zhao Ying saw it with her own eyes.
Jiang Shan kept walking forward and distanced herself from Zhao Ying. Her eyes could clearly see the black spots on the cabinets.
It wasn't until she reached the last row that her eyes froze. There is a locked cabinet here.
It's as if this cabinet was deliberately chosen to be in such a hard-to-find place. Blocked by a group of open cabinet doors, if you hadn't walked to the last row, you would hardly have noticed that there was a locked cabinet door here.
"Zhao Ying, there is a different cabinet here."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ying immediately walked quickly to Jiang Shan's place holding a candle.
Soon she saw the locked cabinet.
The cabinet door seems to have a broken password, and an old latch has been added from the outside, with the lock hanging firmly on it.
It's strange, this cabinet seems to be different from the others from the outside.
Zhao Ying touched the lock body and found it was stiff, then tried to pull it. It was obvious that this old-fashioned lock was still quite understandable.
Jiang Shan said: "Let me come."
Jiang Shan reached up, grasped the lock, and pulled hard. The lock deformed and fell off like noodles in her hand.
Weird and kind.
