Chapter 12: The Black Notebook
The key turned in the lock.
Lu sat down in Ji's desk chair at ten past midnight.
The lamp was on, and the blind was drawn against Vanguard's glass front.
He opened the drawer.
There was one thing in it, a hardback notebook with a black cloth spine.
It was fat, with the pages swollen from handling.
On the front cover, in neat small capitals, a single line was inked: LANTERN.
He opened it.
The first page was dated three years ago.
Chengdu. Qualifier, back room, Dragonfly Internet Cafe. Lu Zhiyan, 16.
He took a breath before the call and held it. Everyone thinks it's nerves.
He won a fight nobody else saw. Then he looked around the room to see who noticed.
I noticed.
I'm writing this down so I don't forget what he looked like before anyone had hurt him.
Lu read it twice.
His eyes kept sliding off it.
He turned the page.
