01608 Regain Faith (2)(3/4)
When he was taken to the police station for investigation, Langrimuto was still confused.
It wasn't until the police officer poured him a large cup of hot tea that the strange old man, who drank a bottle of liquor before going to bed, noticed that he was now in the police station.
It was already close to sunrise.
Faced with the police's questioning, Langrimuto soon learned that the landlord had reported him, saying that he had killed someone.
Langrimuto just said: "I didn't kill anyone, and his death had nothing to do with me, but the guy who reported me will definitely be unlucky! I wish him to see a different version of himself tonight."
The policeman didn't understand the second half of the sentence.
But the landlord who was the party involved soon understood what it meant.
The landlord, who had just returned to his residence after breakfast in the early morning, had finished peeing in the bathroom and was washing his hands when he suddenly noticed white mist on the glass in the room.
He frowned and took a closer look. Where was the white mist? It was clearly hoarfrost.
When he touched it with his hand, it was so cold that it even peeled off a piece of skin on his finger, which made him grimace in pain.
But that wasn't the scariest thing. The scariest thing was that when he looked at the mirror again, he noticed that there seemed to be a stranger standing in the mirror.
He wiped off the hoarfrost with a towel and took another look. It looked like a frozen corpse! And that corpse was himself!
…
"Um..." I didn't expect that a good criminal investigation story would be turned into a ghost story by the landlord's imagination. Moreover, the landlord is indeed very talented in telling ghost stories. At least his face showed fear and fear.
There was lingering fear in her heart, but Su Wanxia didn't notice the slightest bit of affectation.
After the story was told, the landlord asked Su Wanxia: "How is it? Is such a clue worth 10,000 yuan?"
Su Wanxia smacked her lips, feeling that this
The thing is barely acceptable, but its authenticity is open to question, so it's hard to say whether it's worth 10,000 yuan.
But after the money was paid, it was impossible for Su Wanxia to accept it. He sighed softly: "So, you don't know where he went after that?"
The landlord nodded: "Well, like me, he came back after staying at the police station for a day, but he ignored the police's reminder and checked out not long after."
"Hmm...did he leave anything behind?"
"I don't know. I'll leave this room empty after he leaves. If you think he might have left something here, then you can look for it yourself. Anyway, I won't help you clean the room." The landlord may also be the same.
I felt that the ten thousand yuan was too easy to come by, so I became much more polite when I spoke.
Su Wanxia nodded: "Okay, then I'll look for it. If I still don't find anything by night, I'll return the key to you. Do you think that's okay?"
The landlord hesitated, but in the end he frowned and nodded: "Okay, okay, as long as you don't damage the things here. Now, I'll give you the key. I'll go back first."
The landlord left, leaving Su Wanxia alone in the house, still a little scared.
He always felt that he had indeed been here, but everything in front of him was not consistent with what he saw in the morning. The graffiti and clay sculptures were gone, and only a tattered blanket remained in the dusty room.
Su Wanxia wandered around the room aimlessly, looking for suspicious places bit by bit, as if scanning.
But a few hours later, seeing the day coming to an end, Su Wanxia still found nothing.
This room is such a big place. Even if the objects in the room cannot be moved, Su Wanxia still feels that she has already swept it like a carpet... However, she still found nothing.
But Su Wanxia had no intention of giving up just yet.
He sat on the floor and tried to calm down as much as possible. Then a flash of inspiration occurred and he couldn't help but think of an incident in high school.
I still remember that Su Wanxia was in the college entrance examination season for her senior year of high school.
Su Wanxia, whose math scores had always been mediocre, felt that it would be impossible for him to fulfill his life dream and enter the talent reserve university of Xinghan International Aeronautics and Space Administration, so he began to skip classes, feeling that life was meaningless.
At this time, his math teacher found him and had a long talk with him.
It was this conversation that made Su Wanxia wake up from a dream. She improved her math score by 20 points in just three months, and got enough to enter the Xinghan International Aeronautics and Space Administration Talent Reserve University.
score.
As for how Su Wanxia did it.
In fact, the reason is very simple.
Generally speaking, regardless of whether people consciously avoid difficulties, in real practice we all tend to seek benefits. Therefore, when Su Wanxia's mathematics learning reached a bottleneck, he still devoted all his energy to geometry and mathematics, which he was good at.
Functionally, things like interval sets are involuntarily avoided.
The math teacher told Su Wanxia that you don't have to prove yourself right over and over again. Doing so would be half the effort or even meaningless in terms of improving your grades.
You should try and fail, force yourself to go into areas that you are not good at, and then conquer each level. In this way, as long as you conquer a level, you can get the corresponding points that you automatically gave up before, and your grades will naturally improve!
Summarize it in one sentence.
Only by stepping out of the comfort zone of thinking and cognition and confronting your own ideas can you make a breakthrough.
Thinking of this, Su Wanxia began to recall the story told by her landlord.
In his story, Langrimuto is an eccentric old man. If he doesn't clean his room, he would huddle in a corner while sleeping and scare him in the middle of the night.
In addition, there is the corpse, the white snake-like thing on the corpse that the landlord saw, and what the landlord saw in the bathroom later...
If Su Wanxia always believed that these were all lies and did not think along this set track, then Su Wanxia would probably gain nothing in the end.
Then think about what you experienced during the day.
Is that skinny old man really Langrimutuo?
Is what Su Wanxia saw and experienced true or false?
What does it mean behind these things?
Su Wanxia, who was immersed in thinking, unknowingly entered a very mysterious state. Even he himself didn't notice that time... seemed to have stopped beating around him.
Su Wanxia closed her eyes and let her mind immerse in the ocean of thinking. He didn't know what he was looking for and was even a little confused.
Suddenly, a pale, slender arm appeared from his shoulder, and the white palm went down his chest, just like a demon fox that charmed the scholar and teased Su Wanxia.
Su Wanxia suddenly became unaware of this.
…
"He left three days ago!"
"The house has not been cleaned..."
"Old man!"
"Come with me, I will take you to get something..."
"No more than three days..."
…
"Huh!" Suddenly, Su Wanxia opened her eyes suddenly.
In the darkness, he was the only one sitting cross-legged in the empty room. The door was open, and the cold wind from outside kept pouring in, making Su Wanxia shrink her neck involuntarily.
Su Wanxia stood up slowly, moved her stiff body and wondered: "Why didn't he come and call me?"
"Maybe he doesn't dare to come back here at all."
A sudden voice came from behind Su Wanxia.
Su Wanxia was startled and immediately turned around to look.
In the corner, a skinny old man wrapped in a tattered blanket looked at him. A pair of deep black eyes on his skull-like face were as empty as two dry wells.
The old man said: "Is your name Su Wanxia?"
Su Wanxia swallowed hard and said: "Uh... uh... yes, um... are you... old man Langrimutuo?"
"Didn't we meet during the day? It's just that you are dishonest, you actually told me your name is Su Su." The old man in the corner was indeed Langrimutuo, and he stood up slowly.
Su Wanxia subconsciously took a step back, as if she was very afraid of Langrimutuo.
Langrimu Tuo didn't pay attention to this. He took out the wine bottle from his pocket, took a sip to warm himself up and said: "I have found the person you asked me to find for you, but you seem to have found the person you asked me to do.
You just did a little bit and then you ran away?"
Su Wanxia was shocked when she heard this, and asked eagerly: "Have you found Aunt Su Lan?! Where is she?"
"The agreement must be fulfilled. I have completed it as agreed. What about you? When do you plan to return to the square?" Langrimu Tuo seemed to be very persistent in the agreement.
Su Wanxia was stunned for a moment and said with shame: "You are right...but...but it's too suspicious for me to dress up like that? You don't know how many people are laughing at me, and it's just a joke, they still
If you want to detain me, what do you think I can do? Unless you don't let me stand there naked buttocks, anything else will do."
"Oh? Just standing in the crowd and accepting ridicule has become an unbearable pain? Ha... Since you want to change, fine, I will tell you a place. If you go and bring something back for me, it will be completed.
I have made a promise for one day, and after bringing it back, I will arrange other things for you. Our agreement will not be completed until you fulfill all your promises, and I will naturally tell you where your aunt is." Langrimutuo still said.
I recognized the word "promise".
But after learning the previous lesson, Su Wanxia estimated that the old man was most likely trying to trick him again, so this time Su Wanxia was alert. He first asked: "Do I want to be naked this time?"
"Of course not. It's a bit cold there, so you should wear more clothes."
Su Wanxia nodded, but immediately thought of another thing: "Sanjika! By the way! Did Sanjika also make an agreement with you?"
Unexpectedly, Langrimuto didn't deny it. He smiled and said: "You are very smart, but don't be afraid. Sanjika died because of his greed. This is his destiny, but you are different. Your life has just begun.
To be continued...
