"Is that Teacher Xinting okay?"
After a long time, Kumu asked Xin Ting, whose crying had calmed down, if possible, he hoped to let him go.
Xin Ting was holding the dead tree silently at this moment and did not speak.
Xin Ting rubbed her eyes that were red from crying. This was the first time she had seen her mother who passed away in three years. She couldn't control her emotions. This statement didn't sound so accurate, because Xin Ting was indeed invisible, but I can still feel this, but Kumu didn't expect it. Originally, in Kumu's inner vision, the meeting between the two was silent and unable to communicate. Now it seems that he is overthinking it.
Kumu told Teacher Xinle the reason for staying here. Teacher Xinle’s obsession has not been realized yet, so he can stay here. It was also because of Kumu’s appearance that Xinle was able to express his request, otherwise he might have stayed here. Here, until the soul dissipates.
"Did she tell who the murderer was?" Xinting asked Kumu.
"I have deduced that she has forgotten who killed her." Kumu told Xin Ting truthfully.
Xinting told Kumu that as long as she can help, she will try her best to help.
"Why are you helping my mother."
Now Xinting is full of curiosity and wants to ask Dead Wood any questions she has.
Kumu also complained in his heart, "Why did you suddenly become a curious baby? There are a lot of questions." But he couldn't say that he didn't want to answer.
Kumu said that it was his desire to help living souls that made him do this.
Xin Ting said yes, indicating that she understood.
After coming back to his senses, Kumu wanted to know what Xinting was looking for. Xinting told Kumu that it was a box that looked ordinary but was actually anything but ordinary. It was originally a commission hanging in the office, but the commission was taken over. , so Xinting could only take out the box. After the trustee completed the commission and sent the box back, Xinting didn't know where to put it.
Kumu opened his eyes wide and blinked, as if to say, are you qualified to criticize me about throwing things away?
Xin Ting will continue to look for the box, while Ku Mu will stay here for a while. The two of them will separate and wait until tomorrow to discuss things.
After Xinting left, Dead Wood squatted on the ground and began to tap the floor regularly, which was a symbol of Dead Wood's call to the soul.
After a while, the beggar came in response to the call.
"How's it going?" Now Kumu wants to see what the beggar has gained.
The beggar shook his head. Not to mention human bones, not even animal bones were found.
Deadwood thought, this could at least deny that Xinle's body was not buried nearby. Deadwood did not expect that things would develop in a more difficult direction, which means that Teacher Xinle's body may be further away. There are no doubts now. Any progress, coupled with the need to expand the scope of the search, would make matters even more troubling.
"Can we only use souls on a large scale?" In addition to using souls on a large scale, we also need to ask the souls about their corresponding matters. The souls around the school happened three years ago, and the souls around the Quanyong Restaurant happened a year ago. Moreover, Kumu knows that souls are not that easy to find. Not everyone can stay in the world as a soul after death. If the soul is no longer willing to help, this will be another difficulty...
Deadwood has no choice. There are too many difficulties now, and it is difficult for things to make progress. The only "person at the time", Teacher Xinle, only vaguely remembers some things. Now the incident has reached a node. As long as this node is broken, things will take a turn for the worse. Big progress.
The fact that the incident happened so long ago is also a reason. With Deadwood’s current ability, it can be said that there is nothing he can do.
Kumu thought about taking a nap first to relax his mind. When he was lying on the bed, he realized that he couldn't fall asleep because of so many thoughts. His mind was full of doubts about how to solve the incident.
.....................
the next day.
Kumu was tormented by his own problems all night. Fang Hua looked at Kumu who was wandering in his dream and expressed his worries. Kumu would leave school as soon as school is over these days. He seemed very tired. Fang Hua felt that besides studying, because There shouldn't be anything that would make a high school student so hard, and Kumu's grades have always been very good, so he won't be tired from studying at all.
Fang Hua came to Kumu and asked about Kumu's condition with concern. Kumu looked up at the bald Fang Hua, who was still a little uncomfortable. Kumu, who had not been cared about by anyone for a long time, also responded to Fang Hua's concern in a friendly manner. After all, being cared for by others made him feel a little happy.
Fang Hua told Ku Mu that he could share with him any troubles he had.
"Huh? Something happened." Jiujiu's curious ears accurately captured the information and trotted over.
Looking at Jiujiu who came running to look forward to it, Kumu couldn't tell the pain in his heart. He told them about his superpower first, but it was useless to tell them now. Besides, they couldn't see the soul, so they couldn't be allowed to talk to the soul. But there is also something to say about sharing the words of a friend.
"Recently, I have encountered a thinking problem. There are many things. Now the level has reached a difficult place. As long as I can solve this difficulty, I can win a big victory. But now there is no way. What should I do?"
Kumu used the saying of passing the game to tell the two of his current experience. Kumu knew that this statement was easier to understand for the two who were game masters.
Both of them smile confidently, Yugi understands this aspect, and it's easy for them to see eye to eye.
Jiujiu Fanghua told Kumu, "This is because there are hidden levels, or when you reach the fork, Kumu, you may be too aggressive and go directly to the end of the level. Maybe the clues are in the previous level. Go back to the previous adventure. Wherever you go, there may be clues waiting for you."
Fang Huajiujiu's opinion is indeed different. This is also the result of many people's thinking. Sharing is indeed wonderful. Now Kumu feels a lot more relaxed. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, at least there is a way now.
.....................
After school that day, Xin Ting called Ku Mu to her office.
When Kumu came to Xinting's office, he could only say that he was the chief invigilator. The documents on the desk were piled high, and there was only a small space on the huge desk. As a new teacher, Kumu thought this workload would be too big.
Regarding Kumu's question, Xinting's answer was to do more things while she was still young while she had just taken office and still had enthusiasm in her heart.
After chatting for a while, Kumu Xinting and the two officially got down to business.
The dead wood statue was checked again from three years ago.
Kumu asked Xinting how much she remembered about what happened three years ago. Xinting basically couldn't remember anything except her mother's disappearance. But I still remember what my mother said before she left.
Xin Ting said, "Her mother was very suspicious in those days, and kept checking the situation at home, as if she was guarding against someone. Her mother asked me to find someone, who seemed to be her friend, and said that she had a box that could Help me, I couldn’t understand what my mother was saying at that time, so I had to do it.”
"My mother gave me a stone before I left and told me to take this stone to find that person."
Speaking of this, Xinting stopped.
Kumu knew that this person was now the key to the incident.
Xin Ting took out the box she was looking for and placed it in front of Dead Wood.
The box in front of Dead Wood is reddish brown and consists of three parts, wide at the top and bottom, narrow in the middle, with patterns carved on the four sides, four corners protruding outward at the top and bottom, and a regular cube with a keyhole in the middle.
No matter how you look at it, it is an extremely ordinary box, and there is nothing different about it from the outside.
Xinting continued to say that she went to find the person and handed the stone to the person. The person told me to leave quickly and gave me another black box.
"At that time, I thought something had happened. After doing what my mother told me, I immediately went to my mother's school. Fortunately, my mother was still there..."
Speaking of this, Xin Ting choked up and thought of what happened last night. The dead wood was probably the last time Teacher Xin Ting saw her mother.
Ku Mu interrupted Xin Ting and asked Xin Ting to tell the next thing directly.
Xinting wiped her slightly red and swollen eyes, nodded and continued, "I immediately called the police after my mother disappeared and went to find the person my mother asked me to find, but that person was no longer there and had left the original place. "
“At this point, all I have left is the black box the man gave me.”
Deadwood knew that the two boxes were different, but the first box was obviously more important.
Xinting said that the black box has a device that will not be opened until the time comes, and the time to open it was just a few days ago.
Three years later, Xinting finally saw the contents of the black box. The contents of the black box were the location of the red box.
