Chapter 1158 Wang Tanzhi's Journey to the "Warehouse" (Part 2)

&nb"So...what happened after you dripped the blood?" Feng Bujue asked.

&nb"I heard the sound of water..." Wang Tanzhi replied.

&nb"Don't tell me that was the sound of you or someone else being scared to pee..." Brother Jue continued.

&nb"Of course not." Xiao Tan said, "I heard a sound similar to the flow of river water."

&nb"Sanzuchuan? Huangquan? Styx?" Bao Qing asked three questions in a row.

&nb"I don't know about that." Xiao Tan shrugged, "But I know that in many religions and myths and legends, the passage connecting the human world and the underworld is described as a 'river'; I think...what I heard at that time was the sound of 'that river'."

&nb"So...what happened after hearing the sound?" Feng Bujue asked again.

&nb"I also saw a lot of fragments, many... memory fragments that don't belong to me..." Xiao Tan frowned slightly when he said this, "Most of them are scenes related to death... such as the memory before being murdered, or the scene before being run over by a train..."

&nb"It didn't cause any mental pollution to you, did it?" Feng Bujue looked at his expression and asked out of concern.

&nb"Uh..." Xiao Tan replied, "Really not... because those fragments are just 'visual' and 'auditory' memories. For me, it's like watching a bunch of unrelated horror movie clips; in comparison, some scripts in "Horror Paradise" are much more terrifying than this."

&nb"Oh..." Brother Jue heard this and responded with relief.

&nbJust then, Mr. Bao complained sharply: "Well... the moment you said the four words 'really not', I thought the second half of your sentence would be 'My spirit has long been tainted by Brother Jue, the super pollution source, so I have lost my feeling for this level of fragments'."

&nb"Hahaha..." Xiao Tan laughed heartily after hearing it, "You know what, this is also possible."

&nb"Hey, hey... What's there to be happy about?" Feng Bujue continued with empty eyes, "And..." He turned his head to look at Bao Qing, "What is 'super pollution source'? How did you define it?"

&nb"It was defined by an expert who has been giving me psychological counseling since I was a child." Bao Qing replied.

&nb"Which expert? Tell me the name." Feng Bujue immediately said again.

&nb"For his/her safety, I think it's better not to let you know his/her name forever." Bao Qing said, tilting his head, avoiding Jue Ge's sight, and said to Xiao Tan, "Come on, let's continue talking about the clip..."

&nb"There's nothing to say." Xiao Tan continued, "Then the test is over."

&nb"Ah?" Bao Qing asked doubtfully, "That's it?"

&nb"Yes, that's it." Xiao Tan replied.

&nb"What's the meaning of this test?" Feng Bujue also asked.

&nb"The purpose of the test is to find out what reaction will occur after the scales come into contact with my blood." Xiao Tan replied, "They have naturally completed other tests long ago, such as...what happens when the blood of ordinary people comes into contact with scales, what happens when the blood of psychics comes into contact with scales, what happens when you hold the scales in your hands and meditate, what happens when you stay with the scales for a long time, etc." He paused for half a second and then said, "As for me...I am a special case. Section Chief Gu thought that my blood might trigger different changes, so he arranged this test."

&nb"But the result is nothing special?" Bao Qing continued.

&nb"Well, at least they told me that it didn't happen." Xiao Tan replied.

&nb"That's strange..." Bao Qing touched his chin and pondered, "Since nothing unusual happened during the test, how did the accident happen later?"

&nb"Oh...that..." Xiao Tan responded calmly, "This is what happened...After I finished the test, I returned along the same route under the guidance of Agent Zhang. At that time, we didn't know that when I passed by the fourth containment area for the first time, a spiritual sensor on the upper shelf had already reacted...Therefore, when I passed by this place for the second time, the thing fell off the shelf due to the 'gravity' I generated; fortunately, the thing itself was harmless, but...When it fell, it happened to rub against the 'prank mirror' placed under the shelf. After the mirror turned a circle, the cloth covering it slipped off...Just when the mirror was about to reflect me, Uncle Zhang Zhiang quickly turned around and threw me down, preventing me from being exposed in front of the mirror, but..."

&nb"...But he was reflected." Hearing this, Bao Qing already understood what was going on.

&nb"So what if it's reflected?" But Feng Bujue didn't understand, so he continued to ask.

&nb"If someone is reflected... the 'guy' in the mirror will transform into that person and escape from the mirror." Bao Qing said, "and start to 'play pranks'."

&nb"It sounds like... 'the guy' is a goblin or something?" Feng Bujue continued.

&nb"No... it should be described as a 'hysterical and extremely cunning monster'." Judging from Bao Qing's expression when he answered this, he obviously had a story. "The monster in the mirror is like the concrete embodiment of the thing called 'prank'. It is just playing pranks on people. From its perspective, there is nothing that cannot be used for pranks. It has no concept of words such as 'consequences', 'responsibility', and 'guilt'. Although it itself has no destructive power, you can imagine... in a place like 'warehouse', letting it move freely will cause a terrible chain reaction."

&nb"Eh? Mr. Bao, you are also in the warehouse Have you worked before?" Xiao Tan asked immediately, "From your tone, it seems that you have dealt with this mirror before."

&nb"That's because... a few years ago, I participated in the whole process of collecting this item." Bao Qing explained, "On that day, Corey received a message: a man who attempted suicide claimed that someone who looked exactly like him was impersonating him... and ruined his life, and no matter how he explained, no one around him believed what he said.

&nb"This case quickly attracted our attention, so I and several detectives rushed to the police station to investigate; after confirming that this person was not mentally ill and was not lying, we took him away and conducted more detailed inquiries.

&nb"Then, I joined the action team and went directly to the man's home to investigate... and thus discovered the existence of the 'prank mirror'.

&nb"Afterwards, we learned that he found this mirror in a thrift store that was clearing out its inventory; he saw that the mirror had a peculiar shape and the mirror surface was still clear despite the old frame, so he thought it was a valuable antique; after some bargaining, he bought the mirror home.

&nb"Who would have thought... what he brought home was actually a terrible disaster."

&nbHearing this, Feng Bujue couldn't help but ask curiously: "Then how did you 'contain' this mirror and the monster hidden in the mirror?"

&nb"Well... this needs to be explained in detail." Bao Qingnian said, "It is really difficult to 'catch' the monster because it has the ability to move instantly within a short distance. In addition, it also has a certain 'mind-reading' ability, which means... when you are near it, it can know what you are thinking."

&nb"Hehe... these are all abilities that are very convenient for carrying out pranks..." Brother Jue laughed.

&nb"Fortunately... this guy also has weaknesses." Bao Qing did not respond to his words, and continued, "In fact, the various characteristics of this monster... are written on the frame of the mirror; but because it uses an ancient language, ordinary people can't understand it at all."

&nb"But you are not ordinary people." Feng Bujue continued.

&nb"Yes, we are not." Bao Qing replied, "So, after we took a picture of the text on the frame and sent it back to Corey, someone gave us the translation in less than ten minutes." He took a sip of tea and continued, "Regarding the conditions for this 'mischievous monster' to come out of the mirror... the frame only gave a rough idea, but later we obtained more detailed data through experiments; its basic triggering condition is that a 'human' appears in front of the mirror, even for 0.01 seconds... that's it. As for the limit of this 'appearance', we also tested it later... if the head is illuminated, it will be triggered immediately; and the parts other than the head... need to be illuminated by the mirror on a two-dimensional plane with more than 60% of the body area to be triggered."

&nb"Oh... just like when Agent Zhang threw me down, I was caught just by my back flashing in front of the mirror." Xiao Tan replied.

&nbBao Qing nodded, and then said: "The way to lock the monster back is... let the person who released it appear in the mirror with it. At that moment, the prank monster will show its true form and be sucked into the mirror; and in the next six minutes, it will not be able to come out again."

&nb"Wait..." Feng Bujue said, "Doesn't this thing know how to teleport and read minds? Then how do you meet the above conditions?"

&nb"This is about its 'weakness'." Bao Qing said here, showing an indecisive expression, "The monster living in the prank mirror has two weaknesses - first, the straight-line distance between it and the mirror cannot exceed 6,666 meters; second, for some reason, if peanut butter is stained on the mirror, it must come back and lick the mirror immediately. Clean."

&nb"Huh?" Feng Bujue wanted to complain when he heard the first weakness, but he held back; however, when he heard the second weakness, he suddenly felt that the first weakness was quite normal, "Uh... why... the part about peanut butter made some strange images appear in my mind..."

&nb"I think it's because your brain world is too **." Bao Qing continued calmly, "Anyway... later we transported the mirror to a place with basically no hiding place within a few kilometers, and blindfolded the victim, brought him to the mirror, used peanut butter to achieve the sealing conditions, and then covered the mirror and stored it."

&nb"Such a dangerous thing... is it really okay for you to just cover it with a piece of cloth?" Feng Bujue asked this question immediately after hearing it.

&nb "Do you think we want this?" Bao Qing replied, "Experiments have proven that, except for linen, all coverings exposed in front of the mirror will be corroded, and the corrosion cycle is elusive... The same material, sometimes It can block for a week, but sometimes it can only block for a few minutes; in addition, using ropes, tapes and the like to fix the cloth on the mirror, or using an oversized cloth to wrap the mirror directly in it will trigger the corrosion effect - even if We use linen.”

&nb "Oh... So." Feng Bujue continued, "Isn't it okay to cover this mirror and put it in a closed space?"

&nb"Yes." Bao Qing continued, "We have tried covering it and putting it in a separate room; we have also tried covering it and putting it in a large cabinet or box; we have even tried putting in colored ice cubes. But if you do this for more than ten seconds, the mirror will teleport out of the closed space and appear in a random area nearby." He paused and showed a helpless expression, "Also, put it. It can't be placed in an uninhabited wasteland. It will teleport when there are no humans or other things around it. The time and distance of the teleportation depend on the openness around it...

&nb“Countless experiments have proven that only by stacking this thing with other furniture and sundries and covering it with linen to ensure that there are often human activities around it can it be maintained in a relatively stable state. state."

"I also have a question." At this time, Xiao Tan raised his right hand like a child asking questions in class, "Have you tried destroying this thing? For example, breaking the mirror, melting it, etc... …”

&nb"We tried it." Bao Qing replied, "For the first destruction experiment, we used a hammer to swing the mirror, and only a small crack was left; and at the same moment, or at the same second... South Wales A magnitude 6 earthquake suddenly occurred in the area..." He paused for a second, "Again, the second time, we changed positions and took a chisel, and South Africa was shaken again... Please note, These two incidents happened on the same day."

&nb"I'll go..." Feng Bujue was shocked when he heard it, "This thing is going to defy the heavens."

&nb "After that, we have not made any similar attempts." Bao Qing said, "What if we melt the mirror and cause the volcano under Yellowstone Park in the United States to erupt, then things will not be easy to deal with... …”

&nb "Well... I see." Brother Jue responded, and then looked at Xiao Tan, "Huh? So... the day you went to the warehouse, it ended with Agent Zhang smearing peanut butter on the mirror? "

&nb"No." Xiaotan shook his head.

&nb"What?" This time, Bao Qing was shocked, "No?"

&nb "Ah..." Xiaotan looked at Bao Qing and said, "The detailed characteristics of the mirror you just mentioned are the first time I have heard of them..."

&nb"Then how did you shut the monster back into the mirror?" Bao Qing asked nervously.

&nb "Uh... that's it." Xiaotan replied calmly, "That day, after the mirror was shown, I was confused for a long time...

&nb"I first saw a man who looked exactly like Agent Zhang running out of the mirror, and disappeared in the blink of an eye; then I heard various alarms blaring in the warehouse, and the staff were in a mess...

"Anyway...five minutes after the alarm went off, I was taken to a 'safe room', where the agents asked me to wait there and not move, and then went out."

&nb"As a result, as soon as they walked out of the room, I found that...the other 'Agent Zhang' had appeared beside me at some point; I saw him squatting on the ground...quietly taking off my two shoes. The shoelaces are tied together.”

&nbWhen Xiaotan said this, he chuckled: "So I said to him...'Can you stop?' Unexpectedly...he looked at me for two seconds, said 'yes', and stood up immediately, He stared at me nervously and respectfully. When I saw that he seemed to listen to my words... I tried to ask again - 'Can you go back into the mirror and stay out for a while?' He looked sad and said again. He said 'Okay' and then disappeared..."

&nbWhen he said this, Feng Bujue and Master Bao all heard it - this situation should be related to Wang Tanzhi's psychic ability or bloodline.

&nbBut Xiaotan still didn't seem to understand the problem: "Now that I think about it...could it be that you all misunderstood that prank monster, maybe it is quite easy to talk to?" (To be continued.)
