112 Traces in the Sand (2/2)

Mei Chao Bing also pondered. In the end, he crouched down and reached in himself, trying to feel the lines and see if he could figure something out. Unfortunately, he also came up with nothing.

”Maybe we could try to paint what we feel?” Yuan Lei didn't look too convinced himself but it was the best he could come up with.

Mei Chao Bing nodded. ”That seems to be the only way.” He got up and took out his map, turning it around so they could use the back when he noticed Yun Bei Fen's gaze. ”Is something the matter, Fen'er?”

”Uh …” Yun Bei Fen looked from Mei Chao Bing and the map to the thing on the ground and then back again. ”Well, couldn't we … use something shiny?”

Mei Chao Bing raised his brows. ”Shiny? Like how?” He really couldn't imagine what his little bunny was talking about.

Yun Bei Fen pursed his lips, looking a bit uncomfortable. ”Well, you take anything shiny and then you hold it around the corner and tilt it. After that, when you look at the shiny thing, you can see what happens on the other side. I think it's not really important what kind of thing it is but the shinier it is, the better.”

Mei Chao Bing stared at him in a daze. Just how had his little bunny come up with this?

Being subjected to that gaze, Yun Bei Fen felt that he hadn't done a good job. He looked around and finally, his gaze lit up. He took out his sword, pulled it out of the sheath, and then poked it into the sand in the opening. ”Just like this!” Then he proceeded to turn the sword a bit in all directions while leaning over it.

Mei Chao Bing shook himself out of his thoughts and also looked at the sword. Indeed. He could see the underside of the thing reflected in the blade. As for what it was … He furrowed his brows and then looked at Yuan Lei. ”It could be a mural of sorts? Although that is strange in this kind of …” He looked at the bench-shaped thing with some doubt. Why would the demonic practitioners do something like this?

Yuan Lei nodded though. ”It looks indeed a bit like one. Or maybe it's a part of a bigger one since the surface is so small. May I?” He turned to Yun Bei Fen and held out his hand.

Yun Bei Fen tensed and hugged the sword to his chest.

Mei Chao Bing sighed. ”The sword isn't the best object to use considering the length. I suppose nobody brought a bronze mirror with them?”

Yi Ju sheepishly raised her hand. ”I … I may have.”

Mei Chao Bing looked at her in a daze. This girl … She was almost on the same level as Yun Bei Fen in regard to the surprises she could bring.
