my stealth fighter

Chapter 3 Suspicious Potion

There were still words on the back of the letter paper, and there were quite a lot of words. Jiang Chanji resisted the urge to tear the letter paper and smash the bottle. After all, this was the first time he had contacted his parents again after many days. I still can't help but want to know their current situation, and even more want to know whether they have lost their way.

If they can turn over a new leaf and come back to reunite with him, even if the three of them have to work for the rest of their lives to pay off their debts, at least the family can be reunited.

As long as the three of them are twisted together and the family supports each other, he believes that there are no difficulties that cannot be overcome, and he is willing to forgive them, and go to the creditors together to plead for an extension of the debt repayment period, even if he has to kneel and kowtow.

As the sky was getting dark, Jiang Chanji didn't dare to turn on the light, because turning on the light would reveal the fact that he was in the house, and then the landlady would grab him by the ear to demand the rent.

He leaned over to the window and read the contents of the letter word by word.

"Machine..."

Jiji—yes, this is the nickname given to him by his parents.

When he was only a few years old, he didn't realize that there was something wrong with this nickname.

Children of the same age often use the last letter of the name as their nickname. This is normal. For example, Sun Yahui’s nickname may be Huihui, and Li Nan’s nickname may be Nannan. It is simple, easy to remember, and easy to accept. , a little older can seamlessly transition to daimyo.

But there are always exceptions. The last letter of some people's names is not suitable for stacking, such as Jiang Chanji.

Some parents, raising their children are like playing games. In order to prove their unique taste, they give their children various maverick and even shameful names. Didn't they consider that it might cause their children to be ridiculed when they went to school?

After his parents gave him the nickname "Jiang Chanji" seriously, they seemed to have exhausted all the brain cells, so the nickname was casually perfunctory.

In fact, looking back now, if his parents were lazy and used "Jiji" as his nickname, they should have been vaguely aware of the fact that they had a hole in their heads-they didn't even think about how much this nickname would bring to Jiang Chanji when he was a child the trouble?

When I was in kindergarten, the boys who played with him always laughed and called him "Jiji", but the girls of the same age avoided him and never played with him. The female teacher in the kindergarten Ladies, all other children are called by their nicknames, but they are called by their big names...

After entering elementary school, he lost his temper with his parents several times because of this nickname. It's fine to call him that at home, but to call him that in public, doesn't he want to lose face?

However, no matter how he lost his temper and got awkward, his parents never changed his mind. Even after he entered high school, even at the beginning of this letter after many days, he still used this nickname that made him feel sad and helpless.

"Jiji, happy birthday to you!"

"Mom and Dad only found out recently that you have suffered a lot these days, and Mom and Dad are sorry for you..."

Seeing the first sentence, Jiang Chanji felt sore, blinked hard, and his nasal passages were a little blocked.

That's right, today is his 17th birthday, he himself forgot, but his parents still remember, this means blood is thicker than water, right?

No matter how bad they were, it was his parents after all, and besides going astray, they had been good to him before, and the anger in his heart subconsciously melted a little.

"But don't worry, if you gamble, it's not a loss. Your parents will definitely make money, and they will win a lot of money. They will buy you a house and marry a wife..."

I……

Jiang Chanji almost swears!

Sure enough, even if you believe that the sun rises from the west, you can't believe that gamblers will change their past!
"Jiji, Mom and Dad have been very lucky recently. They just won a good bet, which is this bottle of invisibility potion. Although we really want to drink it to avoid debts, you need it more now! Drink it and come with us Run away!"

Jiang Chanji: "..."

"Speaking of this bottle of invisibility potion, if we don't explain it, you won't drink it. It's suspicious after all, haha!"

Do you know it's suspicious?
"It's like this. We were playing with stones in Southeast Asia recently. The two of us picked a stone by coincidence. We both thought that there must be a peerless emerald hidden in it. After cutting it with a laser, there was only a thin layer of emerald inside. Wrapped in this bottle, the bottle is full of liquid, and there are strange characters written on it. You know, in order to identify the treasures, we have studied all the known ancient characters in the world, but these characters do not belong to any kind of characters in this world, so we Try to translate it."

Ruined!These two idiots were completely poisoned by those appraising novels!

Jiang Chanji covered his face with his hands, unable to bear the cruel reality that his parents were both gamblers and idiots.

After doing mental construction for a while, he continued to read, no matter what, he must read this letter, maybe he can find out the current whereabouts of his parents. He wants to try to find them, and try his best to make them know where they lost their way.

"This seems to be something similar to a product description. We don't know how the bottle got into a complete stone. In short, we write down the translated text in the original format, including the notes behind it, as follows—"

Unstable invisibility potion.

(Warning: As it is an experimental new product, despite our best efforts, the chemical properties of this potion are not stable and will decay with time, there is a certain probability of failure or partial failure, or there is a certain probability of unpredictable Side effects, very dangerous, so we decided to stop the study and seal it up forever.)
I rub!

What the hell is this ancient text?

Would there still be scientific terms like chemical properties, decay, and side effects in ancient texts?

He stared at the words on the letter paper with black lines all over his face, feeling sadly that his parents' brains must have been broken, either they translated it indiscriminately, or they were tricked by someone else , obviously the latter is more likely.

It was originally, how could a bottle emerge from a complete stone?
How could those obscure ancient characters on the bottle be deciphered by two gamblers who have lost their fortunes after many battles?

The deciphered text is similar to the modern product manual?

Even eight-year-old children may not believe this bizarre fantasy, which means that their IQ is not as good as eight-year-old children now...

The letterhead ended here, and he searched through the carton, but couldn't find any other useful information.

As for that bottle...

The light in the room was very dark. When he took out the bottle just now, he really didn't notice that there were words in the bottle. At this moment, he held the bottle up to the window, opened his eyes and carefully identified it. He actually saw some ghostly symbols. The distorted traces are indeed somewhat like some kind of hieroglyphs.

Then, his heart moved, because he noticed a detail, these words were not engraved on the outer wall of the bottle, but on the inner wall of the bottle.

The mouth of the bottle is not big, and it is difficult to put your fingers in. The body of the bottle seems to be formed in one piece, without any gaps in splicing.

So how are these "words" engraved?
