Mountains and seas have a home

Chapter 138

Fu Zhong's fingers tapping the keyboard suddenly paused, he typed a wrong word, then continued as if nothing had happened, and replied softly to show that he understood.Lin Cheng sat down again, turning a brand new pen in his hand, without changing his face.

A message popped up on the tablet in front of Ji Yao, sent to him by Fu Zhong: "She's lying."

Glancing coldly, Ji Yao showed no expression. He swiped a few times on the tablet, then raised his eyes and nodded to Xiao Zhuoming with a smile: "I understand the situation, thank you very much for Dr. Xiao's cooperation. Please don't be too nervous, we just want to Find out about the situation."

Xiao Zhuoming smiled politely, sat in the chair without saying a word, staring at the mahogany conference table in front of him, looking at his reflection on it.Lin Cheng looked at Xiao Zhuoming for a while, then took a sip of warm water from the water glass, and the pen fell on the table with a clatter.

"Expert Lin, please concentrate during the meeting and don't do anything unrelated to the meeting." Ji Yao's voice suddenly floated over, and Lin Cheng picked up the pen and held it in his hand.

He apologized, then uncapped the pen and put the pen in front of him.Ji Yao quickly paused on the shiny gold-bronze nib, and the nib was pointing at the silent Xiao Zhuoming, like a sword, ready to strike.

Ji Yao turned his gaze, folded his hands, looked at a piece of paper in front of him, and asked Yang Qihua calmly, "Professor Yang Qihua, the president of the China region of the Global Federation for the Study of Unknown Organisms, and the captain of the nominal medical team, what do you want to say?" Did you say that?"

He stared at Yang Qihua's face with calm eyes, and then turned the tablet so that everyone could see the content on it. Yang Qihua's photo was on it, and there was nowhere to escape all the information.Yang Qihua's eyes flickered, and soon calmed down.

"Why does it sound like I've been involved in a crime, and the police are asking me for a statement?" Yang Qihua said lightly, and he tidied up the papers in the folder, "I have a bad feeling, so I can't say anything." Come on, get in the way of my thinking."

"Professor Yang doesn't say anything, we have to do it ourselves." Ji Yao replied, he was not too nervous about Yang Qihua's lack of cooperation, "I just want to ask you what you know, you just need to say a word , can save us a lot of trouble.”

After a pause, he continued: "But if the professor refuses to say it, I can't force it, it just takes a little more time...I hate spending too much time. Time is racing against us."

"Of course, Commander, I know that as long as you move your mouth, thousands of troops will respond. But is it illegal for you to probe other people's information without permission?"

"See it clearly, Professor. Fu Zhong, enlarge the picture a bit. This is just your basic information and resume. I dare say that your interviewer has seen this stuff when you applied for a job. President of the Unidentified Biological Research Association It’s not a hidden identity, it’s just that I don’t know it.”

Yang Qihua took off his glasses, wiped them, put them on again, and asked a question: "What's the point of me saying these things? A conversation from an unknown source in the audio made me completely confused about the situation."

"Professor Yang Qihua." Ji Yao's voice suddenly became severe, his tone faltering, "I just want to ask you if the 'Yang family' mentioned in the recording is you. Also, have you ever been here. Here , the Earth 46 billion years ago."

The audience was silent, and Yang Qihua met Ji Yao's gaze. They both wore glasses, but they had different temperaments.Ji Yao pointed at the table with his finger, and repeated: "Is this straightforward enough? Have you figured out the situation?"

Yang Qihua frowned, looking embarrassed and tangled. He stared at Ji Yao for a while, raised his hand and touched his chin, and said, "Okay, I have indeed been here, I admit it. So what? Please Tell me, am I going to save the world?"

Everyone was shocked, they were shocked that Yang Qihua had been here before, Fu Zhong looked at Professor Yang after typing a line, and everyone fell into an unbelievably terrifying silence.

Ji Yao's fingers trembled when he heard this, and he stared into Yang Qihua's eyes for a long time, trying to get some information from it.After a while, he looked away, opened his lips slightly, and said softly: "Indeed, you can save the world now."

Only Fu Zhong heard this sentence, but before he had time to understand what Ji Yao meant, Ji Yao asked the professor again: "Very good, professor, thank you for your cooperation. It's still the same question, the 'Yang family' mentioned in the recording is You?"

"It's me, Commander, it's me. Why, is the Ji family finally coming to settle the old score? Do you want to create trouble here to cause chaos and then break it down?"

"Of course not, I didn't want to cause trouble." Ji Yao replied coldly, and he raised his hand to signal, "The Fu family, Ji family, Yang family, and Xiao family are all here. Three juniors who don't know why, and one who knows The well-know senior is you."

The implication is that you don't ask who to ask, wake up old thing.

"Then what? Then what? What does this have to do with you juniors? As long as you perform your mission well, you will be done. How did the hole come from? Have you found it? Huh?"

"Then, then my father disappeared, or died. He disappeared here, on this desolate earth, and I had to come and find him. At the same time he was closely related to our mission, and I did both, and that was it."

"Absurd!" Yang Qihua touched the back of his neck and spoke fiercely, "I don't care what happens to your father, but if you keep doing this, you will be the next to die."

Hearing this, Fu Zhong reached out and touched Bo/Lai/Ta on the back of his waist, and Lin Cheng slipped out the dagger from his sleeve.

Ji Yao supported the table: "So I want to know what happened that year. I know that you must have worked with my father, and more than once. And you also know all the secrets here, we need your help. "

"Secret?" Yang Qihua sneered, seemingly annoyed, "Secret? What secret can I know? If I knew, would I come to this ghost place a second time?"

As he spoke, his eyes turned red and his eye sockets became moist. He tapped his fingers on the table and refuted loudly, as if venting his suppressed emotions for a long time.Xiao Zhuoming was stunned, she didn't expect her teacher to have such a violent reaction.

Yang Qihua scolded for a while, but Ji Yao always maintained a calm attitude to argue with him, like a bowstring stretched tight, almost on the bowstring.Seeing that Ji Yao's anger was about to erupt, Fu Zhong pressed Ji Yao's leg under the table, beckoning him to bear it.

"Fine."

Ji Yao said one last thing, he decided not to fight with Yang Qihua any longer, he supported the armrest to soothe the complicated emotions in his chest, as if he had experienced a fight, his heart was beating violently.After the quarrel ended, Yang Qihua rubbed his eyebrows to calm down, and Zhu Min smoothed things over.

Fu Zhong's hand was still on Ji Yao's knee, as if the temperature in that hand could calm Ji Yao down. Fu Zhong knew that the chief was irritable and irritable. Although he has changed now, his nature cannot be changed.If we start arguing on the spot now, it will do no good to either side.

Yang Qihua got up to leave the table, but his blue plastic folder was still on the table and he didn't take it away.Before going out, he turned around and said to Ji Yao: "Don't ask me, time will tell you everything. I don't know what your father went through, because I returned early."

After he finished speaking, he opened the door and went out without making a sound, Xiao Zhuoming was the only one left on the conference table.Ji Yao forced a smile, thanked Xiao Zhuoming politely, and then turned off the holographic projection.

Xiao Zhuoming watched the three people at the other end of the conference table gradually disappear into the air, leaned back in the chair, raised his hand to cover his eyes, and let out a long sigh.She stretched out a finger to hook the blue plastic clip on the opposite side, and opened it to take a look. Inside was a research report on giant eagles and snakes.

"Professor Yang Qihua," Lin Cheng took the cane next to him and tapped on the floor, which was the one Fu Zhong used before, "he kept touching his neck while talking, and did other things to divert his attention, such as sorting out documents , Clean your glasses."

"So? Expert Lin."

"He's hiding his panic, and the facts. He just doesn't want to say what he knows, and keep talking about it."

"Can you see his past? What happened to him in the past? Better you have a pair of eyes that can see through life, and then we'll sit back and enjoy it. I'm so happy."

"But unfortunately, I don't. I'm just an ordinary person. I can't see through the eyes of life. Sorry, I can't see his past. As I said, I have to face the scene or the person directly. Also, I can see The time frame for arrival is limited."

"Ten years, can you see what happened ten years ago?"

"Of course not, a few months at most." Lin Cheng shrugged and said that he was helpless, "I am not a god, and my ability to have this ability is based on a solid foundation of criminal psychology, not a super power."

"Okay, expert, I know, I just want to ask, after all, I really want to know what happened ten years ago. I know that everything depends on myself, we still have a long way to go, and there is no shortcut."

Zhu Min poured warm water for the four of them, and he added flower petals and sour plums to it, calming the mind and reducing the fire.Ji Yao took a sip of tea and held the cup in his hand. He didn't speak for a long time, piles of questions were tangled up in his mind, making it painful.

Ji Yao asked Fu Zhong to give him the computer, and he sat in the wheelchair to read the content recorded by Fu Zhong, with a peaceful expression.Zhu Min tidied up the blank paper and said with a little regret: "Professor Yang refuses to tell us the truth."

"He is indeed a suspicious person. I have a little doubt whether he has done some shady and bad things. Of course, it's just a suspicion. I didn't say that he must be a bad person."

"It seems you didn't get what you wanted."

"As I said, you have to rely on yourself for everything. There is still a long way to go, and there is no shortcut." Ji Yao said, he drank a sip of water and swallowed a transparent flower petal, "If others refuse to tell me, then I will do it myself. Time will tell everything."

Lin Cheng twirled the pen, raised the cap, and showed it to Zhu Min: "Time, isracingwitheachofus."

"Time is racing against us. If we do nothing, time will catch up with us." Fu Zhong said, calm as the tide.

The four of them suddenly reached a harmonious tacit understanding, and they all tacitly understood each other like old friends for many years.They smiled lightly and sat on both sides, like a scene in a painting.

"You really believe your father is not dead?"

"I don't know, I don't think so."

Zhu Min stopped talking, he kicked his toes silently, lit a cigarette slowly, and leaned against the open porthole to smoke, the smoke was blown away by the sea breeze.Ji Yao was a little tired, Fu Zhong helped him to sit in a different position, and rubbed his legs.

Not wanting to face the computer screen any longer, Fu Zhong packed up the things on the table and went to check the electronic equipment again.Ji Yao was writing at his desk, Zhu Min finished smoking a cigarette, glanced at the clock, and kicked Ji Yao's wheelchair leg: "It's time, go for a checkup."

"Checking so frequently every day?"

"Well, it is necessary. Do you want to get well soon? If you want to, just listen to me, and go to the medical examination room immediately."

"Okay, it's ok, don't talk anymore, it will be annoying."

"You're such an asshole."

Ji Yao straightened his collar, and Fu Zhong pushed him out.Zhu Min felt relaxed and hummed the tune of Flowing Water, which was a nursery rhyme, which eased the solemn and tense atmosphere.

During the physical examination, Zhu Min didn't let Fu Zhong in, saying that the radioactivity inside was too strong and it was not suitable to enter.Fu Zhong didn't say anything, he promised Ji Yao to wait outside, squeezed his fingers, and then supported the door frame to send him in.

The small table outside the medical examination room was next to the window, so the solar energy penetrated through the glass, scorching the cold and hard metal, and Fu Zhong saw dust flying in the golden halo.He took off his coat and sat down, turned on the computer and started his daily work.

Fu Zhong carefully sorted out the content of the meeting just now, and he marked the key points in red.Ji Yao said that Fu Zhong is suitable to be his stenographer, because Fu Zhong can always grasp the key points at once, and record in an orderly manner. He is calm and logical.

Just when he wrote "Professor Yang Qihua claimed to have experienced the 'Kang Rinpoche' incident, a mysterious incident ten years ago", the cell phone next to him suddenly turned on. He looked at it, and it turned out to be a message from Xiao Zhuoming.Xiao Zhuoming doesn't often communicate with him.

-Is there a problem?Doctor Xiao.

Xiao Zhuoming sat cross-legged in the dark corridor with a computer on his lap.She was leaning against the wall, holding a cigarette in her hand. The smoke was drifting, and some of it came out of her mouth, like the morning fog in the forest.

—Send you a file, pay attention to receive it.My teacher originally wanted to hand it over to the commander, but the situation didn't go well, so I forgot it.Please pass it on, thank you.

Her teacher is Yang Qihua, and Fu Zhong knows it.After Fu Zhong agreed to Xiao Zhuoming, the progress bar of the file transfer popped up on the interface. He put the phone aside and continued to do his own thing.

Xiao Zhuoming looked at the computer with his hands propped up, flipping through the blue plastic folder next to it, which contained a thick stack of first-hand research materials.Attached to the picture is a snake showing its teeth and claws, and the internal skeleton is clearly visible.

Her eyes stayed on that picture for a long time, she smoked slowly, and then stared at the gray ceiling in a trance.The snake in the picture has four claws, and there is an extra protrusion on the top of the skull, which looks like a horn.

Fu Zhong waited for a minute before all the files were loaded, and Xiao Zhuoming gave him the unlock password.

— Please remember to forward the file to the commander, thank you very much.Also, I have something to say about the meeting just now.

—Should I convey this to the commander?He desperately needs your information.

- You can figure it out.

-good.

Xiao Zhuoming sat in front of the computer and hesitated for a while, as if sorting out the language, and she sent it after a while: I saw my father's old diary, I found it when I was sorting out the relics, he disappeared many years ago.

—Okay, did you see the contents of the diary?

— saw it.On the cover of kraft paper, "Kang Rinpoche Archaeological Investigation Team Work Diary" is written in ink pen.In addition, there is a pattern of black and white wings, also drawn in ink.

—I think it would be more intuitive if there are real photos.

— If so, would I still describe it like this?I'm sorry, I can't take a photo right now, I just remembered it suddenly, and decided to tell you on the spur of the moment.

—Okay, if you get a picture in the future, remember to send it over.Go on, I remember.Thanks for giving us a clue.

— Don’t rush to thank me, let me finish.The diary records what he saw and heard when he was working in Tibet, all of which are brief and boring. Only the diary about Gang Rinpoche is written in great detail.

After that, Xiao Zhuoming was sending messages by himself, and Fu Zhong didn't interrupt her.

—The diary mentioned a secret base in the hinterland of Gang Rinpoche, which was the territory where the German army was stationed during World War II. It has complete military facilities and is far more advanced than that era by decades.

—It is also written that there is an abyss under the main peak, the specific depth and width cannot be detected, as if it runs through the earth.They believed that a monster, perhaps a dragon, lived beneath the abyss, but this was not confirmed.

- "Dragon" was mentioned many times in the diary, but I forgot the specifics. I only remember that the text showed that they had great disputes about the existence of dragons.

—I can’t remember the others, only one picture impresses me.The pictures drawn with pens are attached in the diary. It must be said that the painters are not bad.I have to describe it to you, and that's what I find most surreal.

—The picture depicts the undulating mountains of the plateau, Mount Kailash is very prominent in the middle, and there is a river valley and basin next to it.Then a tall black tower rises from the back of the mountain, straight into the sky, like the Tower of Babel, surrounded by clouds on the top.

Xiao Zhuoming thought about it, pulled out the fountain pen, pulled a piece of waste paper and drew quickly for a while, then got up and walked into the communication room, took a photo of the paper with the scanner in the staff's hand.After finishing the work, I nodded to say thank you, and left quickly.

Fu Zhong folded his hands, and when he read the message sent by Xiao Zhuoming, an inexplicable sense of déjà vu kept making him uneasy.Then a picture popped up, Xiao Zhuoming's soul painter's graffiti, Fu Zhong could understand the content at a glance.

There was a loud buzz in his head, he remembered what this déjà vu was all about, quickly called up the internal file to find the scanned photo, and clicked send.

Seeing the photo sent by Fu Zhong, Xiao Zhuoming squinted his eyes and took a puff of cigarette, then threw away the cigarette butt. She cursed casually and replied: What does your photo mean?Why is there a black tower?

— it was filmed right where I am now, this tower.Doctor Xiao, does the giant black tower in that picture look like this?

—Well, almost, very tall, very thin, and built on a plateau, reaching directly to the sky, like a sword, well forgive me for describing it that way.

—Very well, Dr. Xiao, I don't know what happened to Gang Rinpoche, but now we have found two identical buildings, yes, this is magical.

——Magic world, damn it, I'm convinced, I just thought of it, there are fucking coincidences.Take it.

Fu Zhong frowned and stared at the screen for a while, the two towers looked so different yet so similar, there was a strange feeling that could not be explained, as if the top of the black tower was connected to another time and space, beyond the universe time and space.

He couldn't think about it anymore, and thinking about it would make people go crazy. He kept Xiao Zhuoming's news records, and if something abnormal happened, there must be a demon. He knew that this would be a good breakthrough.

Xiao Zhuoming lit a second cigarette and was about to continue talking when Yang Qihua's footsteps suddenly sounded from the side.Xiao Zhuoming was startled, and quickly bid farewell to Fu Zhong, turned off the computer, and sat on the bench with legs crossed to smoke.

"Such a strong smell of cigarettes, how much have you smoked?" Yang Qihua asked standing beside him, with a badge around his neck and a badge pinned to his chest - President of the China Region of the Global Federation for the Study of Unknown Organisms.

Xiao Zhuoming greeted the teacher with a nod, waved his hands to disperse the smoke, narrowed his eyes and said, "The second one, let me finish this time."

"Tell you not to smoke, why don't you listen? You have a healthy body and skin, and you got it from your parents."

"Parents?" Xiao Zhuoming smiled, "I have seen them no more than ten times since elementary school. What do you mean by parents? My impression of them is really very, very faded."

"At least you lived with your mother until you were seven years old."

"So I love my mother, and I love my father, but their faces have become blurred in my memory." Xiao Zhuoming exhaled a breath of smoke annoyedly, and stomped his feet, "After I was seven years old, I was a state-raised Big one, I love the country too."

Yang Qihua hugged Xiao Zhuoming's blue plastic clip next to him and said, "Your father is a hero, and your mother is also a pioneer who dedicated her life to the aerospace industry. They are both very good."

Xiao Zhuoming raised her head and looked at the professor. After a while, she put the cigarette to her lips, puffed out the cloud for a while, and said softly, "Teacher, you seem to know my family very well."

Yang Qihua stood for a while without leaving. He folded his white coat and sat down next to Xiao Zhuoming. After a long silence, he said, "Your father and I are very good friends, and he asked me to take good care of you."

As soon as the words were spoken, Xiao Zhuoming's hand that brought the cigarette to her mouth stopped, and a puff of smoke diffused hazyly around her, creating an atmosphere of inseparability.After a while, she put her hand down again, skillfully shaking off the soot.

"So you have been funding me behind your back all these years? You arranged for me to be admitted to a medical university, to be admitted to the medical team of the Time Bureau, and to become your student?"

"Your father hopes that you can become an excellent doctor who can save the country and the people." Yang Qihua said, "This is his last wish, and I helped him fulfill it. You are indeed an excellent doctor."

"No wonder, no wonder why you, a biological expert, suddenly came to be the captain of the medical team."

Xiao Zhuoming didn't know whether to cry or laugh, he smoked even harder with his knees propped up, his fingers were trembling.After a while, she asked, "My father, how is he?"

"He died. I witnessed his death and it was a tragic experience."

Yang Qihua said lightly, as if he was talking about something unrelated to death.Xiao Zhuoming opened his mouth to make a sound, but in the end he didn't say anything.She lowered her head and shook her heels, the smoke became shorter and shorter, and the dust fell on her feet.

"Well, I see. So what? What else? It doesn't matter..." She pretended not to care, and at the end her voice became more and more trembling, and finally she covered her eyes and cried speak up.

She felt sad, and alone.Time took away the frowns and smiles of the living, everything continued to fall apart, and in the end, only you were left, alone.
