MAGIC PYRAMID
As you remember, in the previous chapter I wrote that the partners Gustav Kunst and Gustav Altbers built their shops and houses with love and diligence, this also applies to the house, which was popularly called the Dattan House. Dattan was also a companion of Kunst and Albers. Subsequently, not only the household of partners, but also store employees lived in this house. Unprecedented luxury for that time reigned in the house. Some decor items remain to this day. Stucco molding, ceilings, the shape of windows and doors - the ideas of all this were hatched for a long time by the owner of the house, and the result was impressive. The mosaic floor was especially striking. You could look into this floor like in a mirror!
But back to our hero. The floor tiles attracted the young man's attention. Victor came up with the idea to roll on the floor like on ice, then he leaned over and began to make faces at himself, then... Victor took another few steps on the mirrored floor and suddenly... stumbled. This time, in the reflection, he saw not himself, but Wongwi. He remembered these malicious creatures instantly and he became scared!
Wongwi are small evil men who obey the god of destruction - Taota. Usually Wongwi and Taote take power over the situation and people when there are wars in the world. All sorts of cataclysms, misfortunes, climatic storms - tsunamis, tornadoes and so on, this is the work of Wongwi and their owner. Nine years ago, Taote was hunting for a magical calendar mirror that recognized Victor as its owner. To become the owner of the mirror, the god of destruction pulled on the guise of a distant relative of Victor and tried to steal the mirror, but he did not succeed. Viktor managed to escape. The God of Destruction did not give up, he gave chase. Then, nine years ago, a mirror attracted the light of other mirrors. To help Victor, these mirrors shone for him in the night and were signs. The mirrors led him to where he could hide. When Victor, in desperation, decided that his pursuers were about to overtake him, and there was no one to help him, he suddenly ran into a girl. The girl also ran away from someone. Moreover, the girl was wearing strange clothes. Her body alternately gained density, then became transparent. Victor then thought, it seemed to him that he knew this girl, but the chase overtook and the time for reflection was over. Victor and the girl had different pursuers, but the situation was the same. However, Victor had no time to think about it. The boy had only managed to catch the girl's haunted gaze when he heard the signal of the car. The pursuers were very close. Turning around, Victor tried to assess the full extent of the danger, when he again glanced at the place where the girl was standing, she was not there. Turning his head, Victor was surprised to see that the girl was nowhere to be found. However, the boy had to save himself, and he soon forgot about the strange girl. If you've read The Ghost Restaurant, you know how the chase ended. The mirrors brought the boy to the old bath building, and then went out. Victor looked around. It was already quite dark, but still the boy could see the red brick from which the old bath was made. The building of the bathhouse was actually old, the bathhouse was built at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. There was a creak, glancing down, Victor saw that almost level with the ground there was a tiny door through which one could climb inside. The pursuers again overtook the boy, and at that moment he made up his mind. The Wongwi had already stretched out their long, space-stretching arms, but Victor managed to dodge at the last moment and jumped into the furnace door. This is how his adventure began, as a result of which he became a worker in the kitchen of a restaurant for ghosts. The manager of the kitchen, a Japanese ghost, left a brand on Victor's forehead. Time passed and the mark disappeared. But then, in the kitchen restaurant, Victor was very frightened. A malevolent ghost, though not for long, but made Victor a slave, a slave in the kitchen of a restaurant for ghosts. Now, after the lapse of time, the young man perceived everything that happened to him then as an adventure. However, the obvious idea of ;;what role the girl Nastya played in that story, Victor could think of only now. Then, nine years ago, all his memories were suddenly taken away from him. An exchange has taken place. Victor gave the mirror away, the boy's memories of the events that took place in the restaurant for ghosts were taken away from him, and in return his family was returned to him. At that moment, of course, he was not a little boy, but he was not yet an adult either. Now, thanking the unknown gods for the return of memory, the young man added two and two, but for some reason he got not four, but five. Only now, at the moment when he received this wonderful gift - a lost memory, Victor realized that the ghostly girl he met during the chase and the girl Nastya were very similar. Thinking, Victor did not notice the obstacle. The transparent pyramid, about two meters in size, was invisible from a distance. She was sotransparent, that only by coming close, one could stumble upon an obstacle. The young man would have inevitably bruised his forehead, if at the last moment the ghost, who had lost his hat, had not jerked him aside.
“Sir, be careful,” the ghost laughed thinly, “here, in this corridor, you need to be on your guard all the time. You don't want to be in the past, do you?
What are you waiting for, let's go, they are waiting for us!
“Wait,” Victor snatched his hand away, “Don’t you see, someone has appeared inside the pyramid, there… there is a girl! My God, I know her! Her name seems to be... Anastasia? Yes, it's her! This is how it should look now! But why is she inside the pyramid?
“Sir, this is an illusion, everyone sees what they want to see inside the pyramid. You probably thought about this girl, and that's why you saw her there.
- No, look, she is crying, she is stretching her arms towards me and shouting something! And around it ... Snow? Let me go, I have to help her! How can I save the girl? Should I destroy this pyramid?
“Sir, it only seems to you! Apparently, or rather, based on your words, because I can’t see anything, the girl is really in trouble, but the place where she is now is far from here! The pyramid is just a screen where you see the girl.
