Luo Songxi, who had calmed down, was untying the blue checkered burden on his body at this time.It was the baggage he had stolen from the bandit last night.Luo Songxi, who calmed down, easily deduced that when Old John talked to him that day, he knew that there would be a life-and-death battle with unpredictable results.He sent himself to Filip Town, on the one hand, he naturally didn't want to involve him in this battle.It's a pity that he fell for the trick and was easily led to the battlefield, which became the direct cause of Old John's defeat.On the other hand, having him run back and forth for hundreds of kilometers at this juncture is likely to be a very unusual burden.Maybe Old John used this method to keep something in his baggage out of the gray-clad man's sight.What's in the baggage?
Luo Songxi took off the pocket mining lamp pinned to his waist, fumbled for a small piece of elemental crystal, and turned on the mining lamp.Soft light illuminates the blue lattice above.The burden was also wet from the rain just now, and at this time it was placed on the ground, and a water stain leached on the dry ground.Luo Songxi carefully untied the baggage, but inside the baggage, it was full of the small clothes and shoes that the cowardly Zephyr bandit bought for his son, as well as all kinds of children's toys, such as bamboo dragonflies, spinning tops, and music boxes......
He searched for a long time, but he didn't find anything that even seemed valuable.Luo Songxi was a little dumbfounded for a while.At this moment, Luo Songxi suddenly found that there were two very small letters engraved on the side of the music box that looked rough and looked very ordinary: aj Luo Songxi pondered for a while, and finally remembered that a few years ago, when Old John would make something by himself, the objects he made would be marked with two small letters, which were these two aj.Of course, after Luo Songxi showed his talent for mechanics and alchemy, all the work in the shop naturally belonged to him.Old John didn't bother to do it anymore.So he didn't think of the meaning of these two letters for a moment just now.Luo Songxi picked up the music box.The walnut wooden box is turned over, and inside are layers of gears and reeds.He tried to turn the clockwork, but it felt something was wrong, and he didn't feel the force to tighten the spring.So he continued to turn the clockwork, and when he turned to the seventh lap, he heard a "click", and the clockwork popped out a small section, and at the same time, at the seam between the bottom of the box and the body of the box, a note was spit out."
Little one, you can see this letter, it means that I have decided to travel the world, I don't know how long it will take, but your old John looks old, but in fact he has great ability, don't think about everything."
He also said that he had traveled around the world, and said that he should not think about everything, and deceive people.Luo Songxi's nose was a little sour."
I leave a letter to you, mainly to tell you two things.One is that I will knock out the bad guys in gray clothes by the way before I leave.I said that if you run, you must run, you can rest assured that you will look at the store, and they will never bother you again. ”"The second is the baggage you brought back, everything else in it is useless, except for the music box, which I left you as a gift for your coming-of-age ceremony.That music box is very precious, and for fear of falling into the hands of others, I have to hand it over to you in such a way.Once you've got it, it's time to bring it to your ears and listen to the music. ”"Last thing, I told you earlier that there are two groups of people who want to carry out the blood sacrifice ceremony, and I am responsible for the gray clothes of the group, and there is a group of people, I don't know where they are hiding.But this group of people shouldn't have such a strong person as the Sanctuary, you try to find it. ”"If you can find them, dig them out, and if you can't find them, be sure to leave Tarta before New Year's Eve, the farther away the better.Remember. ”"Goodbye, my child.Remember, don't come to me. ”Finally, I signed an "aj" that was exactly the same as the one on the music box.As soon as Luo Songxi finished reading, a flame came out and burned the note clean.In the underground world that I don't know how deep it is, Luo Songxi's tears finally couldn't be held back anymore, and they burst out like springs, ticking and ticking in the dim light and in the dim flames.He was incredibly sure that this day was the second worst day of his life.………… I don't know how long it took, but the irrepressible grief finally calmed down temporarily, Luo Songxi wiped away his tears and picked up the music box.This music box doesn't look like a proper rite of passage gift in any way.But Luo Songxi still re-spins the clockwork.By this time, the clockwork had returned to normal, no more pieces of paper were popped, the springs were tightened, and the music box made a tinkling sound.As old John had instructed, he put the music box to his ear.The music box is the song "The End of the World" written by the great writer and musician Caster Lin more than 1,000 years ago, and a year ago the federal singer Natalie rewrote the lyrics and covered the song, making the song popular again."
Why is the sun still shining?
Why are the waves still raging?
Don't they know that this is the end of the world?......"
Luo Songxi became sad again, the most important gift of his youth was actually such a sad song?
He was about to put down the music box when he suddenly saw a mechanical arm poking out of the music box and piercing it behind his ear.Before he could react, he felt a sharp pain that made him faint directly."
What a ......
It's a special rite of passage. ”Before fainting, Luo Songxi thought.………… When Luo Songxi woke up, the miner's lamp had been extinguished, and according to the energy estimation of the elemental crystal he put in, he had been in a coma for at least twelve hours.The last image that lingered in his mind was an inexplicable stitch in the music box that John Sr. had left for him.He lit the lamp again, glancing at the ground, and sure enough, the music box had fallen at his feet.He touched the back of his ear again, and sure enough, there was a small wound there, which was still aching.This proves that his memory is not wrong.He picked up the music box and looked at it again, but he still didn't know what medicine was sold in Old John's gourd.It's a pity that I can't catch him anymore and ask him clearly.Luo Songxi thought, frowned at the center of his eyebrows, and stuffed the music box into his arms.After all, this was the last thing John Sr. had left for himself.Go back, he picked up the miner's lamp and began to head back to the town of Tarta.In any case, the letter that Old John left to him, especially emphasized, he understood the meaning, even if Old John sacrificed his life, it also ensured his safety, and ensured that no one would come to trouble him.Even though he was still confused about the music box, he had habitually trusted Old John for so many years.………… The mines and wastelands seem to have returned to their original appearance, with nothing but slippery reptiles and insects.The alchemy shop didn't look like anything had changed, except that the smiling old John was on crutches and called him to work.The calendar on the wall still stays on the day Old John sent him to Fili.Luo Songxi looked outside from the window, the way back was still full of starlight, and now the brilliant sun had begun to rise.He thought about it in his heart.I saw that Old John and the Gray Man fought in the early morning of the second day after he went to Fili Town, and then he escaped into the mine, was stunned by the music box, and now returned to Tarta Town, and it was early in the morning, which means that he was in a coma underground for almost a day and a night.He tore out two pages of the calendar to reveal the page of December 24, exactly a week before John Sr. told him to flee the town of Tarta.That is, the time left for the town of Tarta is still a week.On the cabinet below the calendar, there is a small jar of medicine.Luo Songxi picked up the medicine jar, he really wanted to say to Old John, you forgot to bring blood pressure medicine when you went out.But in any case, old John was gone, and he finally understood what old John meant when he said to him, "It's up to you to see what happens in the future."
Luo Song seriously washed his face, filled his stomach, and walked out of the store.The matter began because he broke through an evil blood sacrifice ceremony, and Old John had done his best to protect himself and stop the blood sacrifice, but now that Old John is gone, the matter is not over, and the town of Tarta is still facing destruction.Then the rest is up to me.Of course, he is not Old John, and he has such a powerful ability.Such a big matter cannot be solved by him alone, and the most reliable way is to seek the intervention of the official forces of the Federation.He pushed the door open, and the sky outside the door was already bright, and the sunlight pouring in made him unable to open his eyes.After all, since he was squatting in the west wind bandits, he has never faced the sun.At this moment, being hit by the sun on his face made him feel in a trance for a moment.In a trance, he heard a "ding" sound from nowhere, and then a very dull-sounding female voice: "The No. 77 inheritance chip has been successfully implanted, and now the inheritor is fully scanned and checked, it may take a few minutes, please be patient......"
Luo Songxi looked around blankly, the entire Tarta town had just woken up from a night's deep sleep, and there was no one around who was talking, let alone such inexplicable words.Could it be your own auditory hallucinations?
Luo Songxi thought.So he turned his attention to the town he had lived in for nearly sixteen years.
