My palms were already sweating, and I could hardly hold the dagger in my hand.
"Hide in the curtain and don't come out later. If things go wrong, find the right moment, run away alone, and try your best to run out of this mountain. As long as you can run out, I will definitely find you."
Zhou Lan suddenly lowered his voice and spoke to Guyu.
I smiled helplessly in my heart, I am afraid that this Zhou Lan will also be an infatuated person in the future.
Gu Yu felt like she wanted to say something more, but Zhou Lan made a silent gesture towards her.
At this moment, the low voices in the corridor finally stopped.
Immediately afterwards, there were footsteps.
The person who walked out was actually Chen Mo.
Behind is Xiangyu.
I just wanted to lift the curtain and complain to Xiang Yu and Chen Mo, because the scene just now really scared the three of us to death.
However, before the curtain was opened, another person came out of the corridor.
Through the curtain, I couldn't see clearly, or I couldn't tell whether it was him or not.
At this time, I couldn't hold it in any longer, opened the curtain, and rushed over.
Really a professor.
What makes me unbelievable is that compared with what I saw last time in the Shentangwan cave, he feels more than ten years older. His hair and beard are all silver, and the wrinkles on his face are as crisscrossed as ravines.
.
"Zhou Cang," the professor greeted me first.
Zhou Lan also came out, and when he saw the professor's appearance, he must have been frightened, with a look of shock on his face.
"Xiao Lan," the professor saw that I didn't respond and turned to Zhou Lan.
"Uncle, we haven't seen each other for more than half a month. You, why are you..." Zhou Lan said half of his words, as if he couldn't continue.
Seeing how intimate Zhou Lan and the professor looked, I probably already knew about 70% to 80%.
Although Zhou Lan was taken away by the so-called organization when he was three months old, the professor who has been raising him should still be the professor. That's why they called each other so affectionately when they met.
For example, although I have known about the relationship between my mother and the professor for a long time, I really can't do it if I want to call the professor uncle all at once.
If this reasoning continues, then the professor's status in the Guiyiyuan organization should not be too low. Otherwise, the organization would not entrust him with such an important task of raising Zhou Lan.
So, could it be that the field practice activity and the seaside sacrifice eight years ago were actually carefully arranged by the professor?
If so, he arranged such a situation and let me step in. What was his purpose?
Why didn't you identify yourself as my uncle from the beginning?
Because even without this bureau, I probably wouldn't have been able to escape being involved in this matter in the end.
…
My head was spinning rapidly, and many questions came to me at the same time.
At this time, Zhou Lan's words interrupted my thinking.
"Uncle, how is my mother doing now?" Zhou Lan's words were obviously aggravated.
"The blight disease has worsened too quickly, and your mother has entered the abyss again, so now the radiation has reached her brain and she is a little confused." The professor said, sighing softly: "I have placed her in the abyss.
The Chen family is under the care of dedicated personnel. The most important thing at the moment is to find the astrolabe as soon as possible, and then hold a big sacrifice when Sirius is opposite. Otherwise, it will not be as simple as being tortured by the blight disease."
"Then what are the serious consequences?" I asked hurriedly.
"Child, do you think this group of people are the only ones suffering from blight? In fact, what we are doing now is just serving the higher-ups." Although the professor did not explain it clearly, I could hear the deeper meaning behind it.
One layer of meaning.
"Professor, where is my dad now?" I suddenly thought of my father.
"Your father is too obsessed. He would go through fire and water for your mother. At present, no one can contact him, including your mother. However, even so, based on my understanding of his abilities, I think
It's unlikely that anything happened, it's probably because we were somewhere without signal, or maybe the phone was simply thrown away," the professor said.
"Uncle, did you go into the mountain alone?"
After Zhou Lan asked, I discovered that the professor was alone, with no entourage around him.
However, it seems that every time the professor appears, he is alone.
"A person came in alone. The risk factor in these places is so high, so don't implicate other people if you can." The professor said slowly, not forgetting to pat the dust off his body.
I don't know why, but I always feel that there is something about the professor's words that seems to be concealing the truth.
However, before I had time to think about it, Xiang Yu had already started to say: "Okay, we will discuss these issues later. Now let's talk about the main topic."
Hearing Xiang Yu say this, the eyes of several of us immediately shifted to Xiang Yu.
Guyu, that girl, had already abandoned Zhou Lan and returned to Xiangyu the moment she saw Xiangyu come back. At this time, she was standing behind Xiangyu, her fingers still circling the corners of her clothes.
"Xiang Yu, have you found another way?" Zhou Lan asked hurriedly after listening to Xiang Yu's words.
"I've found it, but we still need to study it carefully whether we can leave or not. Otherwise, why would I disturb your family's reminiscing about old times?" Xiangyu joked.
"Is there any problem with that road?" I asked.
At this time, Chen Mo, who had been standing aside silently, spoke up: "The place we are in now should be a side hall. Go along this corridor to the other side and it will be a main hall."
"It's a big hall. Is there anything weird in the hall?" Zhou Lan asked.
However, at this time, Chen Mo and Xiang Yu stopped talking at the same time.
"Then what?" Seeing them like this, I was a little anxious.
"Zhou Lan and Zhou Cang, I'm not sure, maybe it's an illusion, so we'll go back first and want to ask for your opinions." Xiang Yu said, a little off topic.
"What exactly did you see in the main hall? Does it have anything to do with us brothers?" Zhou Lan asked first.
"There is a gold-plated plaster on the main hall, and the outside of the plaster is wrapped in linen." Chen Mo said slowly.
"Gilded plaster, linen, why does this sound a bit like a mummy?" I said.
"There is indeed a mummy stored in the plaster." Chen Mo continued what I said.
"When you talk about weirdness, are you referring to this mummy?" Zhou Lan asked eagerly.
"Yes," Chen Mo said, sighing slightly.
"I am an impatient person who cannot communicate with you like this. Since it is related to my brothers from the Zhou family, I will go and see for myself." Zhou Lan said, and was about to rush towards the corridor.
.
He rushed aside, and when he just arrived at the entrance of the hall, he probably suddenly thought of Guyu, so he stopped, then turned back to Xiangyu and said: "Xiangyu, don't follow me, stay here and take care of Xiaoyu."
, she is still young and her eyes are so clean, she shouldn’t be looking at these things.”
I really can't help but laugh at this brother.
At this time, Chen Mo had already caught up, grabbed Zhou Lan's arm, and said, "Don't be impulsive."
Zhou Lan still wanted to struggle, but Chen Mo was very strong and immediately grabbed Zhou Lan's hand.
"Chen Mo," Zhou Lan became anxious now, and in front of Gu Yu again, he probably felt a little embarrassed, so he raised his voice a lot: "Either you tell me directly, or let me go and see by myself.
, don’t be so grinding.”
"What's sealed in the plaster is your father's body." Chen Mo said lightly, and at the same time released his grip on Zhou Lan's arm.
