In the name of the trench [Comprehensive British and American]
Chapter 26 Chapter 3 in 1
After Peter left, Sarah didn't stay either, she rushed to Osborne's old house immediately.
Since Harry's death... Well, it's considered missing now. In short, since that incident, Sarah is unwilling to return to the old house, but there are always people taking care of it.
For Sarah, even her childhood memories are very clear. She clearly remembers which story book Harry used to tell her stories. Of course, Harry told her that it was the story book that his mother He used to tell Harry a bedtime story, and then little Harry also took that book and told Sarah.
The story book was placed on the shelf with great care. Although the traces of time can be clearly seen over the years, this old book has been well preserved. When Sarah opened it, she could even think of Harry reading every word. demeanor and tone of voice.
Oh, and Harry even had a dictionary with him the first time he read her a story, although that dictionary never came in handy afterwards.
Facing his sister's trusting eyes, Harry calmly made up all the places he didn't know for Sarah, perfectly shaping the image of a knowledgeable brother in the heart of the young Sarah.
Sarah's fingers brushed over the familiar content, and she couldn't help but feel a little funny. Back then, Harry was just a little boy who wanted to save face.
But when she turned to the last page, Sarah was stunned. The angel story that she and Harry wrote together and pasted at the back of the book was torn out and completely disappeared.
With the book thrown in her hand, Sarah turned around and took another box from the bookshelf. Inside the box was a thick book with a black cover. Sarah quickly turned to the end. Sure enough, just like the storybook, the black book contained The last few pages were also torn out.
The people who managed the books did not touch these books. Of course Sarah knew this. No one would want to destroy these books. They signed a compensation contract that was absolutely astronomical for ordinary people. They deliberately damaged these books. It is definitely not something that administrators from ordinary-income families would do. They love these books more than anyone else. After all, although the compensation after damage is high, the same care for these books can also bring them a lot of income.
An easy and high-paying job that no one wants to lose easily.
Putting the books back where they were, Sarah sighed. She felt that this was like a treasure hunt puzzle game with a super high difficulty level. God knows she didn't like this kind of game at all.
Sarah received a call from Rhett after dinner. On the phone, the child thanked Sarah sincerely for rescuing him. Of course, he was also full of apologies.
"Sarah, I may not be able to return the books I borrowed from Osborn on time, sorry."
Reid was much more seriously injured than JJ, at least JJ could go home and rest, but Reid needed to lie down in the hospital for another half a month, which was requested by Agent Hotchner, and he returned it later He took a three-month vacation for Rhett and asked Rhett to take good care of his injuries.
But anyway, at least for now, Rhett had to lie on the bed obediently.
"It's okay. Speaking of which, have you read all those books?"
"I've watched it at least twice qaq"
……Pitiful.
"I thought you would ask for some extra books. Did the doctor even forbid you to read books?"
"No," Rhett said, "but Morgan, he sent me a dozen teenage romance novels, and I have nothing else to read."
So you can only read the books you have already read?
It is also a capital distress.
"It seems we've all been unlucky lately."
"Unlucky?" Obviously Rhett didn't expect Sarah to say this word: "Did something happen to you?"
"Yes, a riddle that seems to have no hope. I'm not good at guessing riddles, or I'm not good at it at all."
"I'm good at guessing riddles!"
Sarah became excited when she heard Rhett's voice on the other side of the phone: "Sarah, do you need help? I mean, if you don't mind, I think I have to find something for myself."
Guessing riddles is so much more fun than reading teenage romance novels!
Sarah thought about it, but she didn't mind. At least compared to most other people, Reid's IQ is really reliable, and this kid never exaggerates himself. He said he is good at this kind of thing, so it is probably true Very good at it.
Sure enough, after Sarah roughly explained the situation, Reid quickly asked: "Maybe the content of the book was indeed torn out, but Sarah, that doesn't matter, I remember your memory is very good, and those two books You have read all the books, you can recall carefully, if there is really a secret hidden in it, and this secret is only intended for you to find, then the so-called tearing up is actually not an obstacle, but a reminder."
Sarah blinked: "Wait a minute, I'll go...uh, I need to find something from many years ago."
Sarah closed her eyes, and the scene in front of her eyes instantly changed from Osborne's old house to Osborne's library. This is the first floor of her thinking palace, or in other words, the first three floors of her thinking palace are all related to the library. The exact same scene at the Osborne Library.
Instead of rummaging through the lower two floors, Sarah chose to go straight to the third floor.
The third floor is her private place, and she has always stored the memory of the interaction with Harry on the third floor.
Different from the third floor of the library, the third floor of Sarah's thinking palace is full of tall bookshelves and dark cabinets except for a chess game, two soft sofas and a fireplace.
Sarah went inside to the last row. The books here were already showing an old look, but they were still spotless. Of course, the books in the thinking palace would not be affected by dust.
Sliding her fingers along the spine of the book, Sarah moved over one by one, and soon found a storybook that was exactly the same as in the old house. Turning to the last page, there was no text, but the pages had not been torn off Above is a series of numbers.
When Sarah opened her eyes again, she knew she had found the right one.
Reid, who was lying on the hospital bed on the other side, was obviously very interested in this kind of adventure game, which was rarely such an interesting thing after he was bored for many days.
"Numbers, books, Sarah, the simplest guess, this is a book-based password, you should know, each string of numbers in this password represents a word on the specified book, and all these words are arranged Get up and get what we want."
"This is the simplest and most complex password, because if you can't find the specified book, you can't crack it at all. You have to know that even if you know which book it is, the key point is which edition was printed in which year. It is the same book, and the arrangement of the content in different editions is different. Therefore, the Bible can be said to be the most commonly used codebook. Because it is common and has many editions, you can find Bibles published in different editions and years in different bindings and editions in any bookstore. , and anyone keeps a Bible in their house unnoticed..."
Rhett was obviously very excited, but Sarah interrupted him at this moment: "Sorry Rhett, I tried to find those words just now, but they can't form a smooth sentence at all, there are seven words in total, but they are not related. "
"Maybe the numbers don't directly represent page numbers and words, try reversing them or doing some other combination."
Sarah still shook her head: "It still doesn't work, maybe we found the wrong book?"
"No, Sarah must be this book," Rhett was very sure of this: "The last few pages that were torn out in reality are not only reminding you to pay attention to the last few pages of this book, but also telling you that what you need to find This is the book, Sarah, the code is written in your memory, no one can see it but you, so this book must be the code book we need, now we are just looking in the wrong direction, which is very Interesting, we can try other approaches."
After a pause, Rhett asked: "Sarah, is the book in reality the same as the one in your thinking palace? Is there any difference in their layout?"
"No, they are exactly the same. I remember not only the content, but also the images. I just used the book in my memory as a comparison."
After all, it is much faster for her to flip through her memories than to flip through pages of books in reality.
"If that's the case, Sarah, you've found the right words, and we shouldn't be bothering with the passwords now, because those words are the next question, yes, that's it, we've got the next question, it's just a matter of time." I just don't know how to answer it, Sarah, what are the words you found before?"
"..." Sarah reported these words to Rhett one by one: "Although they are all very common words in the book, they can't form a sentence at all."
"...no, what if they are meant to form not a sentence but a new word?"
Sarah's eyes lit up: "So that means, those numbers refer not to these words but to the letters that make up these words!"
"That's right," Rhett said, "If we break it down into letters, we can start with the first letter or the last letter, r, a, g, b, l, e, i...do you think of anything?"
"...gabriel." Sarah finally said the name.
"Angel?" Gabriel is the name of the legendary Archangel. Rhett was a little confused: "Should we still go to the Bible or other legends about Gabriel?"
Although there are quite a few people named Gabriel, if the person who thinks of this name is the first person everyone thinks of, it must be the Archangel of Heaven.
Sarah shook her head. "No, I think that's the answer, Gabriel. This is our answer."
"But what does it mean?" Rhett couldn't figure it out at all: "Gabriel is the archangel, responsible for the security of heaven, and his main function is..."
Rhett had already begun to recall everything he knew about the angel, but Sarah interrupted him again: "Red, I have met Gabriel, so it doesn't matter what he looks like in the legend, what matters is I was the one who saw him, and he was one of the first angels."
Castiel had said that the writing in that gem was an ancient writing that only the earliest angels could decipher, and now Sarah had Gabriel's name.
And speaking of this, Rhett couldn't help thinking of the information about the apocalypse that Sarah packed to bau and the others before: "If it is the name Gabriel that really needs to be told to you, it means that you need to find Gabriel, but Gabriel was already killed by Lucifer in the apocalypse, that doesn't make sense."
Where are they going to find an angel who has been slain?
"Red, that's enough, I think I know what to do, thank you."
After saying this, Sarah hung up the phone, and unceremoniously asked everyone in Osborne's old house to leave, and instead took special paints and started painting on the ground.
That is the pattern that can trap angels.
Of course, a circle of special oil had to be sprinkled around it, kindly provided by Castiel back then, and even an archangel would be obediently trapped in the circle of fire after being ignited.
Sarah herself sat in the center of the circle with her eyes closed, and she entered her mind palace again.
Unlike the previous search for information, Sarah chose to go down this time.
After walking down the long, spiraling stairs, Sarah faced a dark and deep corridor. There were locked doors on both sides of the corridor. The doors had a dull color, and some of them were even covered with rust. Some doorknobs are wrapped with chains with iron spikes, as if just opening the door will also be covered with blood.
Here is where the things she abandoned are located.
Walking through a door dripping with red viscous blood again, Sarah stood in front of the last door. This door looked very old, even covered with cobwebs and dust, but compared to the other doors entwined with iron thorns Or as far as the door is painted with blood, this door can be regarded as amiable.
Sarah wiped off the thick dust on the door plate with her hand, as if it was unexpected and reasonable, the name 'Gabriel' was written on the black door plate.
With a long sigh, Sarah didn't know what to say: "What have I forgotten..."
God knows what is in this room, but as far as Sarah knows, it may not be good news for her to be thrown into this basement, which is completely independent of her own thinking palace.
There are things here that she never wants to think of, and being completely independent from her thinking palace means that if she doesn't walk in and look for it herself, she will never think of what is here.
But finally she turned the doorknob, and Sarah's eyes widened suddenly with the old tooth-squeaking 'squeak'.
"you……"
What she saw was neither a locked memory nor an unbearable past, but the figure of a man sitting in a dark room with his back to her.
As if startled by Sarah's voice, the man turned around to look at her, and then showed a sinister smile that was gnashing his teeth: "My dear little Sarah, you finally remembered me?"
"...Gabriel." Sarah couldn't hold back and took a step back: "You... aren't you already dead? Is this an illusion? Is it my memory? But why should I keep memories about you? It's still hidden so deep!"
Sarah's words were exchanged for a sneer from the other party. He simply stood up and walked to Sarah's side, then looked down at her slightly: "Fake? Hallucination? Memory? Oh, my ruthless little Sarah, look at you What did you say, you locked me in this kind of place for so many years, and even took my power, don't you just want to say this to me today?"
Sarah stared at him with wide eyes: "I locked you?"
"Isn't it?" Gabriel asked back: "Look at the patterns on the ground, you are really ruthless. The things I taught you are drawn on the ground to trap me? Huh?"
Sarah lowered her head, and sure enough, she saw the familiar pattern on the ground. She had just painted it once on the ground of Osborne's old house!
Looking at the undisguised surprised expression on Sarah's face, Gabriel looked a little mocking: "What a selfish, heartless girl, it seems that you have really forgotten me completely?"
"No," Sarah bit her lip: "I don't know, I seem to want to remember something, but...but I can't..."
Gabriel tilted his head to look at her, and finally sighed: "Don't think about it."
He reached out and touched Sarah's head as if to comfort him: "Your memory is with me."
"So, what happened?"
However, Gabriel spread his hands: "Do we have to talk in this room?"
Dim light, narrow space, mottled old walls, nothing but a rusty chair in the middle.
Well, the conditions in this kind of place are indeed bad enough.
Sarah turned around: "Let's go upstairs."
Accompanied by these words, the formation on the ground that was originally used to trap the angel disappeared in an instant, and after Gabriel followed Sarah out of the room, the entire room disappeared.
"Wow, that looks pretty good."
Ignoring Gabriel's words, Sarah just asked, "Why are you here? Everyone thought you were dead."
Yes, everyone, even how many people were touched by Gabriel's willingness to sacrifice himself to resist Lucifer, but now he actually appeared in his thinking palace... well, it was in the waste station of the thinking palace.
When the two finally returned to the upper floor of the thinking palace, Gabriel spoke again: "Oh, how long has it been since I have seen such a bright light, such a clean and spacious room? Well, I want to eat."
"what?"
Gabriel twisted as if acting coquettishly: "I've been locked up in a small black room by you for so many years, now I want to eat cookies, I don't care, if you don't give me cookies, I won't tell you anything .”
Sarah: "...can you be normal?"
It's disgusting for a big man to act like this, okay?
Gabriel looked at her calmly, making it clear that he was giving the cookie with one hand and explaining with the other.
Sarah twitched the corners of her mouth, and finally temporarily made a sofa and a table in the thinking palace. Of course, there were hot black tea and a stack of cookies on the table.
Gabriel sank into the soft sofa, and then let out a long breath: "Sure enough, it's more comfortable here."
"Tell me, what happened?" Sarah was not in the mood to talk to Gabriel about comfort or discomfort. She only focused on what happened that she didn't know.
Why did she just investigate Harry's affairs, but in the end she dug up an archangel in her scrap yard!
"Okay, then let's talk about what happened that year."
Gabriel still had half a cookie in his mouth, but seeing Sarah's expression, in order to prevent himself from being stuffed back into the little black room again, he decided to cooperate once more.
"I don't know if you still remember when you were four years old and wanted to summon an angel of your own?"
Sarah shook her head: "I don't remember such a thing at all, but it should have happened."
Peter had told her before.
Gabriel stretched out his finger and poked Sarah's forehead: "The unlucky ghost you forcibly dragged in front of me is me."
Sarah blinked, and instantly remembered what happened back then.
Four-year-old Sarah naively ran to the top of the building with her fairy tale book and a few spells Harry made up when coaxing her, trying to summon an angel. She fully believed that if an angel came, it must be her mother listening in heaven. To her prayers.
Logically speaking, it is impossible to summon or even bind an angel with a storybook to coax children, plus a spell that is made up casually and filled with cute words such as cream and candy.
But Sarah's ability is a miracle, as long as she firmly believes in this matter, it means that she can definitely do it.
So it may be just a made-up spell to others, but it really becomes a spell that can summon angels in Sarah's mouth.
Sarah's ability forcibly pulled an angel over for her. At that time, there were not many angels in the world, including the flying Archangel Gabriel who had run away from home for many years.
"I can't believe it, there are at least two states between us! You just dragged me over like that!"
He even had a half-finished glass of wine in his hand when he was forcibly manifested in front of Sarah.
In short, for Gabriel, the situation at that time was really terrible. No one would like that he was having sex with a beautiful woman. Everyone was drinking and joking. Blowing cold wind on a four-year-old kid.
Gabriel's mood at that time was simply broken, okay!
However, there was something even more disastrous waiting for him, when that little brat said to him: "From today onwards, you are my angel!"
After saying this, he found that he actually had a contractual relationship with the other party.
Bullshit!
Not to mention an archangel like him, even an ordinary angel can't just sign a contract with a human to become the other's guardian angel, okay?
Gabriel was going crazy at the time, he could only cover the mouth of the little green-eyed loli in front of him as fast as he could, to prevent the other party from saying anything else that would make his face bloody.
Isn't it okay for him to admit cowardice!
"So the end result is that you made up nonsense to lull me to sleep, and then erased my memory while I was asleep? And then ran away by yourself?"
Sarah looked at the angel in front of her and was speechless: "So, what do I need you for?"
"I didn't do it voluntarily either, okay! The guardian angel's contract is exactly what you bought and sold back then!"
He was still in a daze here, but the other party had already bound him with a single sentence.
"I don't like humans at all!"
But he finally forcibly won the lottery and became a human guardian angel.
Well, Gabriel cannot be blamed for this unlucky incident. It can only be said that Harry fooled Sarah too well back then, and Sarah's own abilities were too deceitful...or defrauding others.
When she firmly believes, her ability has a great possibility to respond to her wishes.
It just so happened that it answered Sarah's wish for a guardian angel that day, so it dragged Gabriel over.
"Then what happened later? I don't think things will be that simple, otherwise you wouldn't be locked in that little dark room."
Mentioning this, Gabriel was also very speechless.
"I originally thought that the matter of erasing your memory would be over. Although it is a guardian angel, the big deal is that I will just watch you a little bit in the future. Anyway, the contract between us will be given to me when your life is really in danger. Induction, I think it’s fine if I take care of you for a few years, after all, human life is short, and you don’t remember my existence anymore.”
However, people are not as good as heaven, and Harry's death has become an opportunity for Sarah to break out completely.
Sarah, who was out of control, was so powerful that even Gabriel couldn't resist.
"You dragged me in front of you forcibly again, and then I resurrected your brother for you without any resistance."
Sarah was taken aback for a moment, and then realized: "So, Harry is really not dead?"
"He died, but I...well, it was you, you forcibly resurrected him with my ability."
Gabriel's expression was not good when he talked about this matter. After all, the feeling of being forcibly deprived by the other party and controlling all his power is really terrible. He has no ability to resist at all. Before that, he didn't even think about it. Humans can also be so powerful.
But obviously at this time Sarah didn't care how bad Gabriel was at that time, she just wanted to ask one thing: "Where is Harry?"
Gabriel pouted: "Can't you pretend to care and comfort me?"
Sarah just repeated again: "Where is my brother? You resurrected him, but where the hell is he now!"
Gabriel had an expression on his face that he didn't know whether it was guilt or embarrassment: "...you know, I was...very angry, very angry."
Gabriel would be happy after being forcibly issued a contract of prostitution and then forcibly deprived of his abilities to use them again. In addition, he has a bad personality and likes to play pranks.
"So I threw your brother into another world."
Sarah: "..."
It's no wonder she couldn't find it with all Osborne's strength all these years!She even asked Professor X for help!
This shit was thrown into other worlds, so it's strange to find Harry's body!
Gabriel scratched his head: "Uh, at that time you forcibly used my ability and caused me trouble, okay? For you, the apocalypse will happen in a few years, but for heaven, This matter has been prepared for a long time. Even the matter of the Winchester brothers and parents was specially sent by Cupid to complete the matter. At that time, they were also looking for my traces. Michael could not let me stay out of it so easily. , I hid well at first, but you undisguised my strength, which completely exposed my position, and I have to solve the problem before Michael finds me."
He spread his hands: "If there is one thing he wants most in my hand, it is probably my horn."
"In human legends, I blew the horn of doomsday judgment, but in fact it has other uses, so in order to prevent Michael from finding it, I... I plan to throw it to other worlds, A world that Michael can't find, oh well, to be honest, I don't even know which world I lost, look, I can't even find myself, and Michael can't find it, right? ?"
Sarah could already think of what he was going to say next: "So you even threw my brother out in order to get revenge on me?"
"Well, that's about it."
Sarah: "..."
I really want to find out the angel blade that was hidden during the apocalypse and stab this scum in front of me to death!
However, Gabriel didn't feel that what he did was wrong: "Unless it is a special arrangement, the dead should not be resurrected. Maybe you didn't understand this kind of thing back then, but I think you must understand this truth now. "
Sarah looked at him: "If Harry really died that year, then I may be able to accept this fact now, but he was resurrected, so I have to find him."
but……
"Could it be that I shut you up in the dark room just because you made me angry?" Saying this, she tugged at the jewel hanging around her neck: "Then what about this? What does it mean? I can't Analyzing its material, or in other words, no corresponding substance can be found on the earth."
Gabriel was also a little surprised when he saw the gem hanging on her: "You are still wearing it, of course you can't find it. I snatched it from other worlds, but it looked like an ordinary piece of gemstone. It's just green stone, I don't know what you did to make it like this."
It suddenly turned into a green transparent gemstone with meteor brilliance.
Sarah pulled a piece of paper and wrote a series of characters on it: "What do these mean? I found it in a stone."
Gabriel looked at the corner of his mouth and twitched: "If I say, what is written on it is, if you see me, let me go immediately...do you believe it?"
Sarah: "...Do you believe this yourself?"
Gabriel: "...Okay, let's not mention this, let's continue talking about your brother."
After Gabriel threw his horn into another world, he also threw Harry out. Obviously, the angry Sarah would not let him go, but at this time Professor X had brought people to arrive, and Sarah also knew that she The current state cannot cross the world, so she left a message. If she has the ability in the future, she will of course discover all this, and then she only needs to drag Gabriel over through the contract again.
"So what happened to my memory?"
She doesn't remember anything about that time.
"You have to ask yourself, only you know yourself best."
So Sarah stopped talking, and she probably could understand why she had to erase part of her memory, because if she remembered all this, as long as she recovered, she would immediately go to find Harry, no matter what the price was.
But back then, she was completely unprepared, and wanted to cross the barriers of the world purely on emotional impulse, which was simply courting death.
"That's why I left these clues?"
These clues are not concealed but tested. When she has the ability and patience to decipher these things, either Sarah has enough ability herself, or there are people around her who can influence her.
"What about you? After all, you still haven't told me why you were locked up in that kind of place?"
At least she also saw Gabriel in the apocalypse, which means that at least Gabriel was still alive and kicking outside after Harry's incident, instead of being locked up in a small black room by her.
"I'm here because of Lucifer, remember when he killed me?"
Gabriel was indeed dying at that time, but the pact with Sarah protected him in the end.
Of course, the so-called guardian angel's contract is not a unilateral contribution, not to mention that Sarah's ability is far stronger than that of ordinary people.
"So when I was seriously injured, I was forcibly sent to you again, but this time I was lucky. At least I was looking for trouble before, but this time I saved my life."
When everyone thought Gabriel was dead, his last consciousness entered Sarah's body and gained valuable cultivation.
"Being in your body can protect me and heal my wounds, but I don't want others to know about it."
Speaking of this, Gabriel completely looked like he couldn't look back on the past: "So I erased your memory again because of your trust in me... You see, at least in the apocalypse, I acted like a Good angel, right? So you didn't guard against me at all, I succeeded, you forgot about me, and everyone didn't know that I was not with you, I can recover from my injuries in peace, but I'm sure this must be the worst thing I've ever done in my life Stupid thing."
Sarah has forgotten his existence, which means that Sarah will not take the initiative to protect him.
"When I don't have your permission and protection, when my consciousness temporarily resides in your thinking palace, it's like entering a maze full of dangers."
As Professor X said, people with their abilities will instinctively protect themselves, and Sarah's abilities are especially powerful.
"So in the end I just got totally lost in it and got dumped in that basement for the trash."
Sarah: "..."
So, why are you doing this!
Gabriel himself was quite aggrieved: "With you, my power is completely suppressed, and even because of the contract, I can't hurt you at all."
This also caused Gabriel to be imprisoned in a small dark room after his death, and there was nothing he could do. He could only hope that one day Sarah would remember him and release him again.
...that's really stupid enough.
Sarah sighed: "Well, if you want to leave, you can leave at any time, at least it is not my intention to lock you up, but I need to find Harry and tell me what to do?"
"Get your memory back, you know what to do." Gabriel said: "You have already held the key, and you only need to reopen the things that you sealed up back then."
"But you sent Harry to another world!"
Sarah had to refute him on the matter.
Gabriel spread his hands: "Well, although I don't want to admit it, the contract between us is unfair. When you need it, you can take my ability and use it. Do you understand? As long as you want, you You can cross the world by yourself, but it’s dangerous to do so, I don’t recommend you to do this, you must know that if you are in danger, I have to risk my life to protect you.”
"Sarah, no matter what you think, Harry lives in other worlds, and it is far better for him to be in other worlds than to stay here. Here, he will always be the Green Goblin. He will never get rid of this title. Even if you try your best to make up for what he did back then, can people really pretend that it never happened?"
"Give up, live as you are now, it's a good thing for you and him."
However, Sarah just shook her head firmly: "It's not, I have to find him, he is my brother, we should not be separated by nature."
Harry knew it was best to send Sarah away, but when Sarah chose to come back, he also gave Sarah a hug.
"Besides, when you threw him away, who knows where you sent him? Who knows what's going on in that world? I will hunt him down, and I must find him."
But before that, she needs to restore her memory.
The powerful power she had when she broke out seemed to disappear with the disappearance of her memory. If Sarah really wanted to find Harry, then she must have the corresponding power.
"So," Gabriel raised his hand: "Can I leave? At least let me out first?"
He's really had enough of the little black room!
Since Harry's death... Well, it's considered missing now. In short, since that incident, Sarah is unwilling to return to the old house, but there are always people taking care of it.
For Sarah, even her childhood memories are very clear. She clearly remembers which story book Harry used to tell her stories. Of course, Harry told her that it was the story book that his mother He used to tell Harry a bedtime story, and then little Harry also took that book and told Sarah.
The story book was placed on the shelf with great care. Although the traces of time can be clearly seen over the years, this old book has been well preserved. When Sarah opened it, she could even think of Harry reading every word. demeanor and tone of voice.
Oh, and Harry even had a dictionary with him the first time he read her a story, although that dictionary never came in handy afterwards.
Facing his sister's trusting eyes, Harry calmly made up all the places he didn't know for Sarah, perfectly shaping the image of a knowledgeable brother in the heart of the young Sarah.
Sarah's fingers brushed over the familiar content, and she couldn't help but feel a little funny. Back then, Harry was just a little boy who wanted to save face.
But when she turned to the last page, Sarah was stunned. The angel story that she and Harry wrote together and pasted at the back of the book was torn out and completely disappeared.
With the book thrown in her hand, Sarah turned around and took another box from the bookshelf. Inside the box was a thick book with a black cover. Sarah quickly turned to the end. Sure enough, just like the storybook, the black book contained The last few pages were also torn out.
The people who managed the books did not touch these books. Of course Sarah knew this. No one would want to destroy these books. They signed a compensation contract that was absolutely astronomical for ordinary people. They deliberately damaged these books. It is definitely not something that administrators from ordinary-income families would do. They love these books more than anyone else. After all, although the compensation after damage is high, the same care for these books can also bring them a lot of income.
An easy and high-paying job that no one wants to lose easily.
Putting the books back where they were, Sarah sighed. She felt that this was like a treasure hunt puzzle game with a super high difficulty level. God knows she didn't like this kind of game at all.
Sarah received a call from Rhett after dinner. On the phone, the child thanked Sarah sincerely for rescuing him. Of course, he was also full of apologies.
"Sarah, I may not be able to return the books I borrowed from Osborn on time, sorry."
Reid was much more seriously injured than JJ, at least JJ could go home and rest, but Reid needed to lie down in the hospital for another half a month, which was requested by Agent Hotchner, and he returned it later He took a three-month vacation for Rhett and asked Rhett to take good care of his injuries.
But anyway, at least for now, Rhett had to lie on the bed obediently.
"It's okay. Speaking of which, have you read all those books?"
"I've watched it at least twice qaq"
……Pitiful.
"I thought you would ask for some extra books. Did the doctor even forbid you to read books?"
"No," Rhett said, "but Morgan, he sent me a dozen teenage romance novels, and I have nothing else to read."
So you can only read the books you have already read?
It is also a capital distress.
"It seems we've all been unlucky lately."
"Unlucky?" Obviously Rhett didn't expect Sarah to say this word: "Did something happen to you?"
"Yes, a riddle that seems to have no hope. I'm not good at guessing riddles, or I'm not good at it at all."
"I'm good at guessing riddles!"
Sarah became excited when she heard Rhett's voice on the other side of the phone: "Sarah, do you need help? I mean, if you don't mind, I think I have to find something for myself."
Guessing riddles is so much more fun than reading teenage romance novels!
Sarah thought about it, but she didn't mind. At least compared to most other people, Reid's IQ is really reliable, and this kid never exaggerates himself. He said he is good at this kind of thing, so it is probably true Very good at it.
Sure enough, after Sarah roughly explained the situation, Reid quickly asked: "Maybe the content of the book was indeed torn out, but Sarah, that doesn't matter, I remember your memory is very good, and those two books You have read all the books, you can recall carefully, if there is really a secret hidden in it, and this secret is only intended for you to find, then the so-called tearing up is actually not an obstacle, but a reminder."
Sarah blinked: "Wait a minute, I'll go...uh, I need to find something from many years ago."
Sarah closed her eyes, and the scene in front of her eyes instantly changed from Osborne's old house to Osborne's library. This is the first floor of her thinking palace, or in other words, the first three floors of her thinking palace are all related to the library. The exact same scene at the Osborne Library.
Instead of rummaging through the lower two floors, Sarah chose to go straight to the third floor.
The third floor is her private place, and she has always stored the memory of the interaction with Harry on the third floor.
Different from the third floor of the library, the third floor of Sarah's thinking palace is full of tall bookshelves and dark cabinets except for a chess game, two soft sofas and a fireplace.
Sarah went inside to the last row. The books here were already showing an old look, but they were still spotless. Of course, the books in the thinking palace would not be affected by dust.
Sliding her fingers along the spine of the book, Sarah moved over one by one, and soon found a storybook that was exactly the same as in the old house. Turning to the last page, there was no text, but the pages had not been torn off Above is a series of numbers.
When Sarah opened her eyes again, she knew she had found the right one.
Reid, who was lying on the hospital bed on the other side, was obviously very interested in this kind of adventure game, which was rarely such an interesting thing after he was bored for many days.
"Numbers, books, Sarah, the simplest guess, this is a book-based password, you should know, each string of numbers in this password represents a word on the specified book, and all these words are arranged Get up and get what we want."
"This is the simplest and most complex password, because if you can't find the specified book, you can't crack it at all. You have to know that even if you know which book it is, the key point is which edition was printed in which year. It is the same book, and the arrangement of the content in different editions is different. Therefore, the Bible can be said to be the most commonly used codebook. Because it is common and has many editions, you can find Bibles published in different editions and years in different bindings and editions in any bookstore. , and anyone keeps a Bible in their house unnoticed..."
Rhett was obviously very excited, but Sarah interrupted him at this moment: "Sorry Rhett, I tried to find those words just now, but they can't form a smooth sentence at all, there are seven words in total, but they are not related. "
"Maybe the numbers don't directly represent page numbers and words, try reversing them or doing some other combination."
Sarah still shook her head: "It still doesn't work, maybe we found the wrong book?"
"No, Sarah must be this book," Rhett was very sure of this: "The last few pages that were torn out in reality are not only reminding you to pay attention to the last few pages of this book, but also telling you that what you need to find This is the book, Sarah, the code is written in your memory, no one can see it but you, so this book must be the code book we need, now we are just looking in the wrong direction, which is very Interesting, we can try other approaches."
After a pause, Rhett asked: "Sarah, is the book in reality the same as the one in your thinking palace? Is there any difference in their layout?"
"No, they are exactly the same. I remember not only the content, but also the images. I just used the book in my memory as a comparison."
After all, it is much faster for her to flip through her memories than to flip through pages of books in reality.
"If that's the case, Sarah, you've found the right words, and we shouldn't be bothering with the passwords now, because those words are the next question, yes, that's it, we've got the next question, it's just a matter of time." I just don't know how to answer it, Sarah, what are the words you found before?"
"..." Sarah reported these words to Rhett one by one: "Although they are all very common words in the book, they can't form a sentence at all."
"...no, what if they are meant to form not a sentence but a new word?"
Sarah's eyes lit up: "So that means, those numbers refer not to these words but to the letters that make up these words!"
"That's right," Rhett said, "If we break it down into letters, we can start with the first letter or the last letter, r, a, g, b, l, e, i...do you think of anything?"
"...gabriel." Sarah finally said the name.
"Angel?" Gabriel is the name of the legendary Archangel. Rhett was a little confused: "Should we still go to the Bible or other legends about Gabriel?"
Although there are quite a few people named Gabriel, if the person who thinks of this name is the first person everyone thinks of, it must be the Archangel of Heaven.
Sarah shook her head. "No, I think that's the answer, Gabriel. This is our answer."
"But what does it mean?" Rhett couldn't figure it out at all: "Gabriel is the archangel, responsible for the security of heaven, and his main function is..."
Rhett had already begun to recall everything he knew about the angel, but Sarah interrupted him again: "Red, I have met Gabriel, so it doesn't matter what he looks like in the legend, what matters is I was the one who saw him, and he was one of the first angels."
Castiel had said that the writing in that gem was an ancient writing that only the earliest angels could decipher, and now Sarah had Gabriel's name.
And speaking of this, Rhett couldn't help thinking of the information about the apocalypse that Sarah packed to bau and the others before: "If it is the name Gabriel that really needs to be told to you, it means that you need to find Gabriel, but Gabriel was already killed by Lucifer in the apocalypse, that doesn't make sense."
Where are they going to find an angel who has been slain?
"Red, that's enough, I think I know what to do, thank you."
After saying this, Sarah hung up the phone, and unceremoniously asked everyone in Osborne's old house to leave, and instead took special paints and started painting on the ground.
That is the pattern that can trap angels.
Of course, a circle of special oil had to be sprinkled around it, kindly provided by Castiel back then, and even an archangel would be obediently trapped in the circle of fire after being ignited.
Sarah herself sat in the center of the circle with her eyes closed, and she entered her mind palace again.
Unlike the previous search for information, Sarah chose to go down this time.
After walking down the long, spiraling stairs, Sarah faced a dark and deep corridor. There were locked doors on both sides of the corridor. The doors had a dull color, and some of them were even covered with rust. Some doorknobs are wrapped with chains with iron spikes, as if just opening the door will also be covered with blood.
Here is where the things she abandoned are located.
Walking through a door dripping with red viscous blood again, Sarah stood in front of the last door. This door looked very old, even covered with cobwebs and dust, but compared to the other doors entwined with iron thorns Or as far as the door is painted with blood, this door can be regarded as amiable.
Sarah wiped off the thick dust on the door plate with her hand, as if it was unexpected and reasonable, the name 'Gabriel' was written on the black door plate.
With a long sigh, Sarah didn't know what to say: "What have I forgotten..."
God knows what is in this room, but as far as Sarah knows, it may not be good news for her to be thrown into this basement, which is completely independent of her own thinking palace.
There are things here that she never wants to think of, and being completely independent from her thinking palace means that if she doesn't walk in and look for it herself, she will never think of what is here.
But finally she turned the doorknob, and Sarah's eyes widened suddenly with the old tooth-squeaking 'squeak'.
"you……"
What she saw was neither a locked memory nor an unbearable past, but the figure of a man sitting in a dark room with his back to her.
As if startled by Sarah's voice, the man turned around to look at her, and then showed a sinister smile that was gnashing his teeth: "My dear little Sarah, you finally remembered me?"
"...Gabriel." Sarah couldn't hold back and took a step back: "You... aren't you already dead? Is this an illusion? Is it my memory? But why should I keep memories about you? It's still hidden so deep!"
Sarah's words were exchanged for a sneer from the other party. He simply stood up and walked to Sarah's side, then looked down at her slightly: "Fake? Hallucination? Memory? Oh, my ruthless little Sarah, look at you What did you say, you locked me in this kind of place for so many years, and even took my power, don't you just want to say this to me today?"
Sarah stared at him with wide eyes: "I locked you?"
"Isn't it?" Gabriel asked back: "Look at the patterns on the ground, you are really ruthless. The things I taught you are drawn on the ground to trap me? Huh?"
Sarah lowered her head, and sure enough, she saw the familiar pattern on the ground. She had just painted it once on the ground of Osborne's old house!
Looking at the undisguised surprised expression on Sarah's face, Gabriel looked a little mocking: "What a selfish, heartless girl, it seems that you have really forgotten me completely?"
"No," Sarah bit her lip: "I don't know, I seem to want to remember something, but...but I can't..."
Gabriel tilted his head to look at her, and finally sighed: "Don't think about it."
He reached out and touched Sarah's head as if to comfort him: "Your memory is with me."
"So, what happened?"
However, Gabriel spread his hands: "Do we have to talk in this room?"
Dim light, narrow space, mottled old walls, nothing but a rusty chair in the middle.
Well, the conditions in this kind of place are indeed bad enough.
Sarah turned around: "Let's go upstairs."
Accompanied by these words, the formation on the ground that was originally used to trap the angel disappeared in an instant, and after Gabriel followed Sarah out of the room, the entire room disappeared.
"Wow, that looks pretty good."
Ignoring Gabriel's words, Sarah just asked, "Why are you here? Everyone thought you were dead."
Yes, everyone, even how many people were touched by Gabriel's willingness to sacrifice himself to resist Lucifer, but now he actually appeared in his thinking palace... well, it was in the waste station of the thinking palace.
When the two finally returned to the upper floor of the thinking palace, Gabriel spoke again: "Oh, how long has it been since I have seen such a bright light, such a clean and spacious room? Well, I want to eat."
"what?"
Gabriel twisted as if acting coquettishly: "I've been locked up in a small black room by you for so many years, now I want to eat cookies, I don't care, if you don't give me cookies, I won't tell you anything .”
Sarah: "...can you be normal?"
It's disgusting for a big man to act like this, okay?
Gabriel looked at her calmly, making it clear that he was giving the cookie with one hand and explaining with the other.
Sarah twitched the corners of her mouth, and finally temporarily made a sofa and a table in the thinking palace. Of course, there were hot black tea and a stack of cookies on the table.
Gabriel sank into the soft sofa, and then let out a long breath: "Sure enough, it's more comfortable here."
"Tell me, what happened?" Sarah was not in the mood to talk to Gabriel about comfort or discomfort. She only focused on what happened that she didn't know.
Why did she just investigate Harry's affairs, but in the end she dug up an archangel in her scrap yard!
"Okay, then let's talk about what happened that year."
Gabriel still had half a cookie in his mouth, but seeing Sarah's expression, in order to prevent himself from being stuffed back into the little black room again, he decided to cooperate once more.
"I don't know if you still remember when you were four years old and wanted to summon an angel of your own?"
Sarah shook her head: "I don't remember such a thing at all, but it should have happened."
Peter had told her before.
Gabriel stretched out his finger and poked Sarah's forehead: "The unlucky ghost you forcibly dragged in front of me is me."
Sarah blinked, and instantly remembered what happened back then.
Four-year-old Sarah naively ran to the top of the building with her fairy tale book and a few spells Harry made up when coaxing her, trying to summon an angel. She fully believed that if an angel came, it must be her mother listening in heaven. To her prayers.
Logically speaking, it is impossible to summon or even bind an angel with a storybook to coax children, plus a spell that is made up casually and filled with cute words such as cream and candy.
But Sarah's ability is a miracle, as long as she firmly believes in this matter, it means that she can definitely do it.
So it may be just a made-up spell to others, but it really becomes a spell that can summon angels in Sarah's mouth.
Sarah's ability forcibly pulled an angel over for her. At that time, there were not many angels in the world, including the flying Archangel Gabriel who had run away from home for many years.
"I can't believe it, there are at least two states between us! You just dragged me over like that!"
He even had a half-finished glass of wine in his hand when he was forcibly manifested in front of Sarah.
In short, for Gabriel, the situation at that time was really terrible. No one would like that he was having sex with a beautiful woman. Everyone was drinking and joking. Blowing cold wind on a four-year-old kid.
Gabriel's mood at that time was simply broken, okay!
However, there was something even more disastrous waiting for him, when that little brat said to him: "From today onwards, you are my angel!"
After saying this, he found that he actually had a contractual relationship with the other party.
Bullshit!
Not to mention an archangel like him, even an ordinary angel can't just sign a contract with a human to become the other's guardian angel, okay?
Gabriel was going crazy at the time, he could only cover the mouth of the little green-eyed loli in front of him as fast as he could, to prevent the other party from saying anything else that would make his face bloody.
Isn't it okay for him to admit cowardice!
"So the end result is that you made up nonsense to lull me to sleep, and then erased my memory while I was asleep? And then ran away by yourself?"
Sarah looked at the angel in front of her and was speechless: "So, what do I need you for?"
"I didn't do it voluntarily either, okay! The guardian angel's contract is exactly what you bought and sold back then!"
He was still in a daze here, but the other party had already bound him with a single sentence.
"I don't like humans at all!"
But he finally forcibly won the lottery and became a human guardian angel.
Well, Gabriel cannot be blamed for this unlucky incident. It can only be said that Harry fooled Sarah too well back then, and Sarah's own abilities were too deceitful...or defrauding others.
When she firmly believes, her ability has a great possibility to respond to her wishes.
It just so happened that it answered Sarah's wish for a guardian angel that day, so it dragged Gabriel over.
"Then what happened later? I don't think things will be that simple, otherwise you wouldn't be locked in that little dark room."
Mentioning this, Gabriel was also very speechless.
"I originally thought that the matter of erasing your memory would be over. Although it is a guardian angel, the big deal is that I will just watch you a little bit in the future. Anyway, the contract between us will be given to me when your life is really in danger. Induction, I think it’s fine if I take care of you for a few years, after all, human life is short, and you don’t remember my existence anymore.”
However, people are not as good as heaven, and Harry's death has become an opportunity for Sarah to break out completely.
Sarah, who was out of control, was so powerful that even Gabriel couldn't resist.
"You dragged me in front of you forcibly again, and then I resurrected your brother for you without any resistance."
Sarah was taken aback for a moment, and then realized: "So, Harry is really not dead?"
"He died, but I...well, it was you, you forcibly resurrected him with my ability."
Gabriel's expression was not good when he talked about this matter. After all, the feeling of being forcibly deprived by the other party and controlling all his power is really terrible. He has no ability to resist at all. Before that, he didn't even think about it. Humans can also be so powerful.
But obviously at this time Sarah didn't care how bad Gabriel was at that time, she just wanted to ask one thing: "Where is Harry?"
Gabriel pouted: "Can't you pretend to care and comfort me?"
Sarah just repeated again: "Where is my brother? You resurrected him, but where the hell is he now!"
Gabriel had an expression on his face that he didn't know whether it was guilt or embarrassment: "...you know, I was...very angry, very angry."
Gabriel would be happy after being forcibly issued a contract of prostitution and then forcibly deprived of his abilities to use them again. In addition, he has a bad personality and likes to play pranks.
"So I threw your brother into another world."
Sarah: "..."
It's no wonder she couldn't find it with all Osborne's strength all these years!She even asked Professor X for help!
This shit was thrown into other worlds, so it's strange to find Harry's body!
Gabriel scratched his head: "Uh, at that time you forcibly used my ability and caused me trouble, okay? For you, the apocalypse will happen in a few years, but for heaven, This matter has been prepared for a long time. Even the matter of the Winchester brothers and parents was specially sent by Cupid to complete the matter. At that time, they were also looking for my traces. Michael could not let me stay out of it so easily. , I hid well at first, but you undisguised my strength, which completely exposed my position, and I have to solve the problem before Michael finds me."
He spread his hands: "If there is one thing he wants most in my hand, it is probably my horn."
"In human legends, I blew the horn of doomsday judgment, but in fact it has other uses, so in order to prevent Michael from finding it, I... I plan to throw it to other worlds, A world that Michael can't find, oh well, to be honest, I don't even know which world I lost, look, I can't even find myself, and Michael can't find it, right? ?"
Sarah could already think of what he was going to say next: "So you even threw my brother out in order to get revenge on me?"
"Well, that's about it."
Sarah: "..."
I really want to find out the angel blade that was hidden during the apocalypse and stab this scum in front of me to death!
However, Gabriel didn't feel that what he did was wrong: "Unless it is a special arrangement, the dead should not be resurrected. Maybe you didn't understand this kind of thing back then, but I think you must understand this truth now. "
Sarah looked at him: "If Harry really died that year, then I may be able to accept this fact now, but he was resurrected, so I have to find him."
but……
"Could it be that I shut you up in the dark room just because you made me angry?" Saying this, she tugged at the jewel hanging around her neck: "Then what about this? What does it mean? I can't Analyzing its material, or in other words, no corresponding substance can be found on the earth."
Gabriel was also a little surprised when he saw the gem hanging on her: "You are still wearing it, of course you can't find it. I snatched it from other worlds, but it looked like an ordinary piece of gemstone. It's just green stone, I don't know what you did to make it like this."
It suddenly turned into a green transparent gemstone with meteor brilliance.
Sarah pulled a piece of paper and wrote a series of characters on it: "What do these mean? I found it in a stone."
Gabriel looked at the corner of his mouth and twitched: "If I say, what is written on it is, if you see me, let me go immediately...do you believe it?"
Sarah: "...Do you believe this yourself?"
Gabriel: "...Okay, let's not mention this, let's continue talking about your brother."
After Gabriel threw his horn into another world, he also threw Harry out. Obviously, the angry Sarah would not let him go, but at this time Professor X had brought people to arrive, and Sarah also knew that she The current state cannot cross the world, so she left a message. If she has the ability in the future, she will of course discover all this, and then she only needs to drag Gabriel over through the contract again.
"So what happened to my memory?"
She doesn't remember anything about that time.
"You have to ask yourself, only you know yourself best."
So Sarah stopped talking, and she probably could understand why she had to erase part of her memory, because if she remembered all this, as long as she recovered, she would immediately go to find Harry, no matter what the price was.
But back then, she was completely unprepared, and wanted to cross the barriers of the world purely on emotional impulse, which was simply courting death.
"That's why I left these clues?"
These clues are not concealed but tested. When she has the ability and patience to decipher these things, either Sarah has enough ability herself, or there are people around her who can influence her.
"What about you? After all, you still haven't told me why you were locked up in that kind of place?"
At least she also saw Gabriel in the apocalypse, which means that at least Gabriel was still alive and kicking outside after Harry's incident, instead of being locked up in a small black room by her.
"I'm here because of Lucifer, remember when he killed me?"
Gabriel was indeed dying at that time, but the pact with Sarah protected him in the end.
Of course, the so-called guardian angel's contract is not a unilateral contribution, not to mention that Sarah's ability is far stronger than that of ordinary people.
"So when I was seriously injured, I was forcibly sent to you again, but this time I was lucky. At least I was looking for trouble before, but this time I saved my life."
When everyone thought Gabriel was dead, his last consciousness entered Sarah's body and gained valuable cultivation.
"Being in your body can protect me and heal my wounds, but I don't want others to know about it."
Speaking of this, Gabriel completely looked like he couldn't look back on the past: "So I erased your memory again because of your trust in me... You see, at least in the apocalypse, I acted like a Good angel, right? So you didn't guard against me at all, I succeeded, you forgot about me, and everyone didn't know that I was not with you, I can recover from my injuries in peace, but I'm sure this must be the worst thing I've ever done in my life Stupid thing."
Sarah has forgotten his existence, which means that Sarah will not take the initiative to protect him.
"When I don't have your permission and protection, when my consciousness temporarily resides in your thinking palace, it's like entering a maze full of dangers."
As Professor X said, people with their abilities will instinctively protect themselves, and Sarah's abilities are especially powerful.
"So in the end I just got totally lost in it and got dumped in that basement for the trash."
Sarah: "..."
So, why are you doing this!
Gabriel himself was quite aggrieved: "With you, my power is completely suppressed, and even because of the contract, I can't hurt you at all."
This also caused Gabriel to be imprisoned in a small dark room after his death, and there was nothing he could do. He could only hope that one day Sarah would remember him and release him again.
...that's really stupid enough.
Sarah sighed: "Well, if you want to leave, you can leave at any time, at least it is not my intention to lock you up, but I need to find Harry and tell me what to do?"
"Get your memory back, you know what to do." Gabriel said: "You have already held the key, and you only need to reopen the things that you sealed up back then."
"But you sent Harry to another world!"
Sarah had to refute him on the matter.
Gabriel spread his hands: "Well, although I don't want to admit it, the contract between us is unfair. When you need it, you can take my ability and use it. Do you understand? As long as you want, you You can cross the world by yourself, but it’s dangerous to do so, I don’t recommend you to do this, you must know that if you are in danger, I have to risk my life to protect you.”
"Sarah, no matter what you think, Harry lives in other worlds, and it is far better for him to be in other worlds than to stay here. Here, he will always be the Green Goblin. He will never get rid of this title. Even if you try your best to make up for what he did back then, can people really pretend that it never happened?"
"Give up, live as you are now, it's a good thing for you and him."
However, Sarah just shook her head firmly: "It's not, I have to find him, he is my brother, we should not be separated by nature."
Harry knew it was best to send Sarah away, but when Sarah chose to come back, he also gave Sarah a hug.
"Besides, when you threw him away, who knows where you sent him? Who knows what's going on in that world? I will hunt him down, and I must find him."
But before that, she needs to restore her memory.
The powerful power she had when she broke out seemed to disappear with the disappearance of her memory. If Sarah really wanted to find Harry, then she must have the corresponding power.
"So," Gabriel raised his hand: "Can I leave? At least let me out first?"
He's really had enough of the little black room!
