In the office, Lu Zhan sat on a chair and fell into deep thought.
The dean has a talisman in his hand that is exactly the same as the talisman in the gravekeeper's cemetery. This kind of talisman cannot be found on the market. It is probably unique to the cemetery. This means that this talisman comes from the cemetery. The dean and the talisman
There may be a connection between white ink... There is no problem with this inference.
But the question is, how did the old guy get such a charm?
Could it be that he had once entered the gravekeeper's cemetery?
But you have to know that although there is no restricted area stone tablet in the gravekeeper's cemetery, it is definitely more dangerous than the S-level restricted area. In the past six months, Dongyang City has not tried the idea of ​​​​cemetery, but they have failed without exception. This is enough
It shows the dangers of cemeteries. Some people even stay in cemeteries forever.
In Lu Zhan's impression, the old dean was just an ordinary genetic warrior.
It's all built on genetic medicine, and it's only at the C-level level at most.
How could he have the ability to enter a dangerous cemetery and get a charm from it?
Unless he, like Mo Qingcheng, was brought to the cemetery by Bai Mo.
But Bai Mo only woke up half a year ago, so how could he possibly have contact with that old guy...
No, that's not right.
Suddenly, Lu Zhan thought of something that he had ignored for a long time.
On the day Bai Mo entered City No. 3 for the first time, he came to the police station and claimed that he was here to report a crime.
During this process, although Bai Mo's main request was to recover the lost body, he mentioned the name of a supermarket - Huimin Supermarket.
After follow-up investigation, Lu Zhan discovered that there really was such a supermarket in City No. 3 many years ago. It was only two hundred years ago. At that time, the restricted area had not yet appeared, City No. 3 had not yet been established, and extraordinary people were not allowed to exist.
Although the world is in turmoil, it is far more stable than it is now.
This is just a small episode,
Lu Zhan didn't take this seriously at that time.
At most, it can only mean that the tombkeepers existed before the restricted area appeared, maybe they were the first batch of extraordinary beings, and later fell into a deep sleep for some reason, and have since become a taboo sequence.
However, after further understanding, everyone gradually realized that there was actually an era that no one knew about a long time ago, and Baimo and even the restricted area were most likely inherited from that era.
That is to say, Bai Mo's sleep was not two hundred years ago, but in the further years -
If you think about it this way, it means that Bai Mo's appearance half a year ago was definitely not his first awakening. He had awakened at least once two hundred years ago, otherwise he would not have known about Huimin Supermarket.
After that, he fell into a deep sleep again for some reason until half a year ago. As for whether he woke up again in the past two hundred years, it is still unknown.
but……
If Bai Mo really has any connection with the dean, it means that in the years after the restricted area appeared,
Bai Mo once woke up again,
And invited the dean into the cemetery. Perhaps this is the only way,
Only then can the old guy get the talisman in the cemetery.
If the old guy got the charm by forcing his way into the cemetery,
There is a possibility, but the probability is close to none.
Of course, there are other possibilities. After all, it is not certain whether the spell is exclusive to the cemetery, and it may not really come from the cemetery.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhan suddenly realized another problem——
That is, if Bai Mo really woke up after appearing in the restricted area, why did the sequence room not reveal the information about the tomb keeper at that time, but it was not until half a year ago that a red envelope dropped for the first time?
Is this an accident or is there some special reason?
In just a short moment, Lu Zhan had too many confusions in his mind, and he was eager to get answers.
It's a pity that Bai Mo is no longer here.
And even if he were still there, he would probably not answer his question, but would just say "not enough" indifferently.
There seems to be a great self-contradiction in these humanoid forbidden zone creatures. On the one hand, they are aloof and indifferent to human lives, treating them as dispensable ants, but on the other hand, they seem to have some expectations for humans.
The purpose is confusing.
While Lu Zhan was thinking, Mo Qingcheng remained silent, seemingly giving him time to digest, and then sent him two photos and an address.
Hearing the notification sound, Lu Zhan retracted his thoughts, quickly wrote down the address of the orphanage, and then clicked on the photo.
The first photo was a close-up of a yellow talisman. The curse pattern on it was indeed something he had never seen before, but he didn't know much about talismans himself. He could ask knowledgeable people to confirm it later.
When he saw the second photo, he suddenly froze and his mind went blank.
What I saw in the photo was a black crystal with light gray lines. It looked ordinary, but Lu Zhan recognized it immediately——
The core, this is actually the core of a certain restricted area!
Although the cores of different penalty areas are different, they are generally the same. Lu Zhan believes in his own judgment. At least from the appearance and color, this is indeed the core of the penalty area.
But...how is this possible?
In the Equality Paradise, Wan told everyone before he died that there is a way to prevent the expansion of the restricted area, which is to find a black crystal and destroy it. This will not only prevent the expansion of the restricted area, but also control the restricted area creatures within it.
weaken.
And Wan did not deceive them. This black crystal is real. After verification, the parliament named this crystal the core of the restricted area.
It's just that so far, the core of the restricted area discovered by humans is still quite limited, and the understanding of it is not deep. Many people have only heard of it, so it is normal for Mo Qingcheng not to recognize this thing.
Lu Zhan took a deep breath and fell into thinking again
The emergence of the core of the penalty area is problematic——
You must know that in the past, there have been many examples of humans successfully clearing forbidden areas and turning them into human habitations. The Huangquan organization is the most famous example. The station is located in the S-level forbidden area Huangquan, which is comparable in scale to large urban areas and is home to a large number of humans.
There are not many such examples, but there are definitely many. However, even if the restricted area is turned upside down, no one has ever discovered the existence of the core of the restricted area in the past.
If I have to say it, this thing is more like a new concept that emerged with the expansion of the restricted area, just like a brand-new product after a major update of the game version, but the version does not exist at all...
Thinking of this, Lu Zhan suddenly shuddered for some reason.
At this moment, what confused him the most was that since no one had ever discovered the core of the restricted area before, it meant that this thing might not have existed at that time. Then...how could the dean have a core of the restricted area in his hand?
Also, which restricted area does the core of this restricted area belong to? Why did the dean keep it? Does he know the function of the core?
Both of these things are not simple. He put the core of the restricted area and this talisman in a box and left the box in the orphanage. Is this intentional or unintentional? Did he expect that someone would find the orphanage?
Lu Zhan quickly made up his mind. He wanted to confirm whether the core was true or false as soon as possible, and this matter could not be passed through the hands of others.
He had a hunch that there might be a huge secret behind this matter.
"I'll send the box to you. You should know more about these things than I do."
Suddenly, Mo Qingcheng's voice rang on the other end of the phone.
Although the safety zone has become chaotic with the emergence of buffer zones, the express delivery industry still exists, mainly because there are enough profits to be made.
The operation of express delivery is maintained by several large groups, including Xinhai Group. They are strong and have branches in many urban areas. It is said that they also know the relevant taboo sequences, so supporting express delivery work is not a problem.
Today's delivery of items is more like the escorts of the past than express delivery. It must be equipped with experts, especially express delivery in different urban areas. Both people and creatures in restricted areas need to be guarded against, so the asking price is also ridiculously high.
Coupled with the risk of the express delivery being lost, generally no one will choose to send it by express delivery.
"No, no need, tell me your location and I will go and get it myself."
Lu Zhan was very concerned about the contents of the box, so how could he rest assured that it would be in the hands of others? Moreover, he also wanted to take this opportunity to see Mo Qingcheng.
Mo Qingcheng was silent for a moment, and seemed to have guessed the other party's answer, so he said: "Okay, I will put the things in my current residence, hide the box in the cupboard, and put the key under the floor tiles at the door. You can come and get it.
alright."
She hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but remind her, "It's a bit far from Dongyang City to here, and there may be dangers along the way. You must pay attention to safety."
Lu Zhan sensed something was wrong from the conversation and asked, "You want to leave?"
"Yes, in addition to the box, I also found clues about the dean's whereabouts. I want to find him."
"What clue?"
"You also said before that if you knew where the dean was, you would kill him. I know you are not joking, so I can't tell you."
Lu Zhan frowned: "That guy's disappearance is not as simple as you think, and neither is this! Don't act rashly, tell me everything you know!"
To be continued...
