127 Find Her (1/2)
-Yang Mansion: Gu Wing's Private Tool Room-
Gu Wing entered her walk-in closet casually and slid open one of her jewelry drawers. At the sight of many valuables, her attention was focused on somewhere else. She stretched her hand further into the drawer and finally found it; a button.
Upon pressing on it, the other side of her walk-in closet automatically flipped, revealing an impressive collection of professional repair tools. Her wicked smile curved higher as the tips of her fingernail felt the hardness of each tool in front of her. If any professionals witnessed this sight, their hearts would surely waver as the combination of the tools hanging would be considered a full collection of an ultimate tool set that could last them for ages.
Each section of the wall hung a different kind of tool. There were different types of hammers, screwdrivers, saws, wrenches, Spanners, grinders, and other nameable hand and electric tools. If one wall isn't enough for all these, she always had another hideout place to keep them. She organized these tools by grouping them into their own categories.
For example, one section of that wall is specifically for the different types of hammers. She separated the types of hammers first. She had common hammers such as Ball Peen, Club, Dead Blow, Framing, Rubber Mallet, Sledgehammer, and Tack hammer gathered as a group. Under the common hammers were the specialty hammers. Regardless of each shape and curve of the tools, she has every design of it. Some of the specialty hammers that are a part of her collection are such as Blacksmith, Blocking, Brass, Brick, Bushing, Drywall, and many more types that professionals often use to perform handiwork. After that, she would order them in an ascending order. This way, it would be easier for her to choose whenever she needed them.
Her fingernail poked from the right to the left, eventually in reverse like playing the Duck and Goose game where she chooses which one is 'it.' Finally, she settled on using the Framing hammer, which makes it extra convenient for her since it holds the nails. She then took a box of thumbtacks before switching her clothes back to its original place.
After exiting the closet, she shook her butt towards the left and right as she walked down the hallways; similar to a snake's action. As she passed by the corners of the mansion, evilness reflected from the wall mirrors. Of course, she was too blind to see how ugly she truly looked with the awkward high curved smile from the side view of her face. She hummed lowly and stopped when she reached a horse painting.
Her eyes wandered towards the left and right side of the hallway. After making sure that nobody was walking down the hall, she tilted the painting slightly towards the right and slipped her hand behind it.
”Aha,” she made a smooch face, raised her eyebrows, and squinted her eyes revealing her wrinkles at the corner of her eyes. Her fingers located the string that she was looking for and gently pulled it down. She released her finger and fixed the painting, while waiting for the passageway to open up.
The string behind the painting leads to a pinball machine that is hidden behind the wall. Once the string is pulled, the pinball drops and passes through the middle hole, dropping onto a mini Double-Pan balance scale. Since there is nothing on either side of the scale, once the pinball rolls onto one side, it becomes unbalanced and the light side would rise.
Once the lighter side of the scale goes up, the string that's attached to it would trigger a pull effect on the switch lever to a mini mechanical robot; turning it on. The tiny mechanical robot would then walk straight until it is stopped by various strings that connects to another lever that activates the entrance to the secret passageway. The robot would continue moving forward, while the strings would be tugged until the lever is pulled downwards.
