"It doesn't belong to any era of our human society. How is this possible?" I don't know why, as soon as I heard Andrew's words, I immediately thought of the rectangular cube tilted at 60 degrees falling vertically from the sky.
.
"So, Zhou, can you realize the importance of this small piece of jade now? It may bring us a new era of human society, far earlier than the era of the world's five major civilizations." Andrew looked serious.
said.
Is this what a scientist looks like? However, I don't know if it is because of preconceptions, but I always feel that what he says with this face needs to be discounted and cannot be fully believed.
"As for the last question, why should I choose you? In fact, you already have some understanding in your heart, because your grandma may be the only living patriarch in the world who is related to this jade piece.
In the early years, I have cooperated with your grandparents and your parents, but we did not find the relationship between them and these small jade pieces, so we can only focus on you." Andrew said.
, took out his mobile phone and handed it to me.
The above is a group photo, taken in an ancient temple. However, this photo seems to have been taken accidentally, or in other words, it was edited from a video. On it, there are grandparents and Andrew.
There are also some figures from behind, I don’t know who they are.
It seems that when his grandparents and his brother went into the mountains, they must have followed a huge team. Andrew didn't know what role he played in it.
I looked at Andrew and continued to ask: "I think you still haven't explained clearly, why me? You have also entered the ancient temple, so you must know that the patriarch plays a vital role in this sacrifice, so
, if what you said is true, then wouldn’t it be more straightforward to choose my grandma?”
"Hahahaha, Zhou, do you really want to break the casserole and ask the truth? Then I will tell you, the reason why it is you is because only you can react with these jade pieces, and why do we know that this is necessary?
Thank you to your university teacher, Professor Chen. You don’t really think that it was an accident that you went to Zhuyin Ancient Temple for archaeological practice. Of course, it was deliberately arranged by Professor Chen, and the purpose was achieved. You are in the ancient temple
I fainted and when I woke up, I was talking nonsense." Andrew looked at me, as if he was watching a naive child using lame lies to cover up something.
It turns out that someone was designing it from the beginning.
Why am I so stupid? Since I have been watched by unknown opponents since I was born. Since they can ask parents to give up their newborn children, they will not be deceived by the mother's trick. So, over the years,
On the surface it looks calm, but in fact there are undercurrents roiling underground.
Since Professor Chen designed the Zhuyin Ancient Temple incident, are Zhang Jisheng, Wen Xiangyu and Chen Mo who participated in that incident also one of the accomplices?
Thinking of this, I felt like a deflated rubber ball, which suddenly deflated. It seemed that the breath in my chest was too weak to support my back spine, and my whole body bent down.
"Zhou, you don't need to be under any pressure, and don't think too much. During the cooperation process, if you encounter any problems, everyone can talk about it frankly. I, Andrew, have always believed in the conspiracy of you Chinese people. This
In fact, both of us will benefit from this matter, and cooperating with me should be your only choice." Andrew said, adding some more tea to me.
"I'll think about it again, and whether it's legal for you to do this kind of archaeological exploration in China." I asked, this is the bottom line.
"Zhou, don't worry, all our actions are permitted by the government." Andrew said.
I lowered my head and didn't know what to choose. On the one hand, I really wanted to use Andrew's power and defeat the black hand that had controlled the Zhou family for several generations with one blow. On the other hand, Lao Li's words were still vague.
in the ear.
But, should I still believe Chen Mo?
At this time, I accidentally caught a glimpse of Andrew's mobile phone that was still on the table. For some reason, that picture made me feel very uncomfortable, and for a while I couldn't tell where the source of this discomfort came from.
"Professor Andrew, please let me think about it, and then I will reply to you tomorrow." I stood up and smiled politely at Andrew, "I have one more unkind request. Can I take a photo of you?"
After all, my grandparents are among them."
"Oh, what's the matter? Just go ahead and take a picture." Andrew also stood up and said with a smile.
I took out my mobile phone, took a photo of the old photo, and then said goodbye to Andrew.
When I returned to the private room, I immediately fell on the bed, with my feet hanging by the side of the bed, without even taking off my shoes.
The amount of information provided by Andrew was too large, and I found it a bit difficult to digest at once. Although after returning to the Zhou family's old house from the Wawushan Ancient Temple, I had already vaguely realized that my identity might be a bit special, but it was confirmed all of a sudden.
, still find it unacceptable.
"Why is it so difficult to be an ordinary person? Ah..." I yelled and sat up immediately.
The phone that was still in my palm was touched, and the screen lit up.
I glanced at my phone. The moment Andrew showed me the photo, I suddenly felt a sense of discomfort in my chest. Looking back now, it must have been a deep fear. There was no reason and it was natural.
Born spontaneously from the heart.
"What exactly makes me feel awkward?" I muttered to myself and opened the photo.
The grandparents in the photo are actually a bit blurry, and it feels more likely to be edited in a video. They were at the entrance of the ancient temple, studying the reliefs on the gate tower, and grandma turned around as if she was saying something to Andrew behind her.
appearance.
My eyes scanned the photo inch by inch, not wanting to miss any detail, because the strangeness in my heart was definitely not groundless, there must be something that I had overlooked.
Suddenly, my eyes fell on Andrew, and a shiver ran down my spine involuntarily, as if the cold air from the air conditioner had suddenly hit me.
It turns out that my fear, awkwardness, and discomfort originated from here. It was the looming belt buckle behind the hem of Andrew's shirt that was blown up by the wind.
This belt buckle is exactly the same as the one I took out from the hand of the mummy stuck at the entrance of the cave in the ancient temple.
"It was you who killed him," the words the old man said in the ancient temple, at this moment, traveled through time and space, rushed all the way from the ancient temple hundreds of kilometers away, and finally fell into my ears.
.
With a "chirp", I felt goosebumps appear on both sides of my cheeks.
