He quickly went to store room for something. Then he searching for project materials like magnetic field, he created yesterday. He remembered it he put in store room.
When he searching for this, he find a box, he took the box, and quickly open the box.
Inside the box which contained a book inside. It was a large thick book that weighed about half a kilo. The front of the book was black in colour and in the centre, it had a ring with lines going off in all different directions.
" What is this. " Zu Ming said as he take the book from box.
He then immediately open the book, in that book all contained black empty papers.
" What the heck, this book empty. " Zu Ming said, then started to slowly turned pages one by one in book.
" Nothing writing on this. " Zu Ming said.
Zu Ming carefully examined the book to see if there was any text on outside.
" Nothing here. Why did this here? I think this is was given by grandpa. " Zu Ming said.
Then he thought, why did his grandpa give it him, when there nothing here.
" Anyway, Let's find what I came for. " Then he put down this book on desk, and search for what he come for.
Zu Ming then started searching for it, and started walking over to near table. He picked up some boxes that were on table. Then he move aside them, then he saw a iron pipes. slightly sharp edge, and decided he needed to fix it. He noticed that one of the pipes was slightly out of place, and pointed to sharp edge.
He tried to take that iron pipe, but that didn't move.
" Come on. " He said while trying to pull that pipe. In that process that sharp edge created a deep gash in his thumb.
" Ouch. " He said with slightly pain, then immediately started to looking for clean cloth, he noticed a cloth had on top of his book. As Zu Ming was taking the piece of cloth, a drop of blood from his thumb landed in the centre of the book.
The ring around the centre of the book started to glow and suddenly the book started to lift itself into the air.
" What the hell is happening! "
The book started to shine brightly and shake uncontrollably. This book opened up and page after page was being turned with writing on it. Zu Ming couldn't take his eyes off the shining book as if he was in a deep trance. The words written in the book weren't in any language he had seen before but for some reason, he felt like he could understand it.
When the book finally turned its last page, it started to disappear as if it was slowly turning to small light. And then suddenly that light shoot his forehead, and merge into his forehead.
At the same time, Zu Ming's vision was starting to fade. His body felt weak and his eyes slowly shut.
But just before he passed out, there was a single message that he seen.
Unable to maintain consciousness long enough to seen the final words, Zu Ming passed out.
