Chapter 68 Sand in a Bottle(1/2)
Arriving on the second floor, he looked around and found that it looked pretty good during the day.
The second floor of the store is very high, half a floor higher than the first floor.
Sunlight shines through the glass, making the overall space look quite open.
In order to maximize space utilization, one-third of the second floor is divided into half an attic, which can be regarded as the third floor for the time being.
He is now standing in front of the stairs, in the southeast corner of the room.
On the north side of the house facing him, there was a small staircase leading to the half of the attic that was divided above.
Ah Hao roughly walked around the second floor and found that it was roughly divided into three spaces: the living room, the warehouse, and the bathroom.
There is an old sofa and a coffee table in the living room.
There are a lot of cards scattered on the coffee table. It is estimated that Payne and the others can come up to play cards and take a rest sometimes.
There are also a lot of seasonings in the warehouse. There is a bathtub and shower in the bathroom, and it seems that there is water.
On the west side of the house is the balcony. From the balcony, you can go out to the street through a Z-shaped iron ladder.
The more Ahao looked at it, the more satisfied he became. With a little modification, it would be no problem to live here as his home.
After Ahao finished browsing the second floor, he walked up the small staircase to the two-and-a-half-story attic.
There is only a large bed in the attic, placed right in the middle, with a few shelves on both sides. It can be regarded as a bedroom for the time being.
This sloping roof and the small space that is not completely enclosed give him a strange sense of security.
He quite liked this feeling.
On the shelf next to the bed, there are tissues, magazines and other scattered miscellaneous items.
A bottle of sand on the shelf suddenly caught his attention.
The glass bottle is tied with a simple knot with a red and white rope.
There are also a few fake gold beads buried in the sand in the bottle, which look like some kind of tourist souvenir or small gift.
What really caught his attention was the smell coming out of the bottle.
"Boo~"
Pull out the cork, the cork rubs against the glass and makes a crisp sound.
He lowered his head and smelled it carefully.
Among the sandy smell similar to earth, there is also a different taste.
He put his finger into the bottle and stirred it.
Sure enough, some of the sand was a very different color, more yellow than others.
He twirled these strange sands.
The smell is a bit like cinnamon, sweet with a hint of bitterness and a spice texture.
He took a deep breath.
Suddenly, an illusory picture appeared in his mind. In a pure white space, the door of truth moved.
The door, which was slightly open to the outside, suddenly retracted.
As if someone pulled on the inside, the door was locked and a crack was revealed again.
Only this time, no smell came out, but a strong suction came from it.
This suction intensified Ahao's breathing.
As he inhaled hard, a faint yellow breath was sucked out of the entire bottle of sand.
Ah Hao watched helplessly as a shimmering golden air was sucked into his body.
what happened?
He quickly snorted a few times through his nose.
He didn't feel any discomfort.
It’s probably the Door of Truth’s fault!
He quickly put the cork back into the glass bottle.
Then he sat down on the bed, closed his eyes and meditated.
In the pure white space, he discovered that there was indeed another strange phenomenon at the Gate of Truth.
The originally stone-like gray door had a hint of golden color, and the golden spots shone with yellow light.
He felt the door calling to him.
He unconsciously walked to the door, and the yellow light on the door suddenly came to his eyes.
There was a flash in front of his eyes, as if he was dazzled by the reflection of the sun. He squinted his eyes slightly, and then felt a little itchy in his throat.
He coughed briefly.
Something was sprayed out, and his throat suddenly felt much more comfortable.
When I looked up, the four characters "Never Lie" were splashed on the door.
Good guy, did he cough out these four words just now?
When did it get down his throat?
The lines of "Never Lie" stretched out on the door and slowly swam towards the center.
The oval area in the middle that has always been blank, Ah Hao temporarily called it the "question area".
He already has experience. When the lines move toward the question area, it means something is about to happen.
Sure enough, as these four words moved around, the door began to flash with an increasingly rapid yellow light.
[Never Lie] twists and swims like a snake in the elliptical area, as if waiting for something.
The yellow light swept across the door from bottom to top, and many lines were lit up one by one.
Then all the yellow light gathered in one pattern.
It was like a spotlight on the stage, shining on the heroine.
The lines illuminated by the yellow light slowly swam toward the center area with a bit of reluctance.
Ah Hao stared at this scene dumbfounded.
The yellow light illuminated the same four characters. Although it was moving, it was enough for him to see clearly.
It’s actually these four words?
Yes, only these four words can perfectly match "never lie".
The new words swam to the middle of the oval, and started a head-to-tail dance with "Never Lie".
The twisted words gradually flattened out.
What appeared before his eyes was:
【Truth is true, never lie.】These eight characters.
The yellow light is still entrenched between the lines of [real and true].
Ah Hao thought all this was too wonderful.
This yellow light seemed to be helping him.
First, let him spit out [Never Lie].
Then he was asked to skip the "guessing" and "answering questions" stages.
Huang Guang directly helped him choose the "correct answer"!?
But he has not yet understood the mystery behind the words "True and True".
All this happened so suddenly.
But he still looked at the door excitedly. So, it was time for him to open the door again?
Under his gaze, the Door of Truth... remained motionless.
No, it moved a little bit!
It opened a crack quickly and closed immediately.
As if spitting out something, a few strands of golden breath were spit out from the door.
Okay, just a few strands, it's better than nothing.
He quickly moved forward.
In this golden breath, he smelled desert.
It was the first time he smelled such a "real" and clear smell.
There is no ambiguity brought about by long years, nor the speciousness of other people's perspectives.
