Chapter 257: The Seventh Man

The other party was really stunned, but in the end he looked at him with a strange expression: "You're not here to kill me?"

Teacher?

Bai Xiu thought of the previous "recording", could it be that he was also Sun Ying's student, but weren't they dead and crazy, and they were long gone?

Unlessβ€”

He thought of a possibility, could it be that Ye Xuan was lying?

Immediately, he laughed in his heart, his old mistake was committed again, he could suspect anyone, but that person should never be Ye Xuan.

Of course, it's also possible that this person was not a member of the institute's archaeological team...... He meditated and wrapped up the wound on his shoulder, and sighed secretly, it seemed that the only way to know the answer to this question was to ask him.

Before he could speak, the other party was already flattering: "It turns out that you are not their person, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! Little brother, let me go, I was wrong to attack you just now, I'll apologize to you first!"

The other party put his posture so low, if it was usual, Bai Xiu would not care too much, but his intuition told him that this person would never be so simple, and if he agreed, it would be tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain.

And this person is so tactful, if he asks directly, I'm afraid he won't get the answer he wants......

Bai Xiu's thoughts flickered, and he was deliberately silent for a while before he slowly spoke: "Cen Cui is dead." ”

A trace of horror clearly flashed in the other party's eyes, and then his expression gradually became complicated, as if he was sad and angry, and a little decomposed.

He smiled and nodded: "It's hard for her to finally die, let's be an ordinary ordinary person in the next life......"

They really knew each other, so was he also a member of the archaeological team who participated in the archaeology of the Hongshan cultural site back then? Bai Xiu spat out a sentence without a trace: "She was murdered." ”

The man laughed mockingly: "Of course, everyone who came back alive back then will not end well." ”

He changed his words and looked at Bai Xiu: "Who are you?"

Bai Xiu knew that in order to extract useful information from his mouth, he first had to gain his trust, and then he needed an identity - one that was both credible and did not pose any threat to him.

"She was my neighbor, and before she died, she asked me to bring a message to a person named Sun Ying, and I don't know about the rest. ”

"Could it be that she has discovered something...... the other party muttered to himself, and then smiled, "I'm her senior brother Xu Ming, you just tell me." ”

Xu Ming?

This name is indeed not on that list, but to be honest, Bai Xiu can't be sure whether he is telling the truth or not, so he can only continue to try: "I'm sorry, she told me before, I must tell Teacher Sun Ying in person." ”

"Alas. Xu Ming smiled and suddenly sighed, "Then you can only go to the Yama Hall to find him, the senior sister cut off contact with us a long time ago, she probably doesn't know that I am the only one of the seven of us who is still alive now!"

Seven people?

Bai Xiu was a little surprised, counting carefully, Zhao Yixin, Sun Xiaoguang, and Zhou Yu who were killed in Qucheng, Cen Cui, who committed suicide by jumping off the building, and Sun Ying, whose whereabouts are unknown, even if this person is counted, there are only six of them.

Who else is this person?

Bai Xiu remembered the conversation on the phone, could it be that the last person was that Xiao Yege? This is a little strange, obviously there are seven people in this archaeological team, why are there only six of them who are entered into the file in the end?

As he was thinking, Xu Ming's inquiring gaze came over intentionally or unintentionally.

Bai Xiu was shocked, he couldn't show his flaws now, so he looked at the other party with a little distrust: "Impossible, I have also met Master Zhao Yixin Zhao before, and it was he who introduced me here to find Teacher Sun Ying." ”

"Are they still alive?!" Xu Ming's expression changed instantly, his eyes stared at Bai Xiu deadly, and there were words in his mouth, "No, no...... I watched them breathe back then......"

He suddenly realized that he had slipped out of his mouth, and he couldn't help but fall silent.

No, it should be said that he once wanted to kill Zhao Yixin and them, but the three of them escaped with their lives...... No wonder the latter has been living incognito and staying at home, and this question has finally been answered.

What happened back then, causing several people to kill each other? Where did Sun Ying and that little Ye brother go, they were also dead as Xu Ming said? He was so sure, could it be that he killed the people?

Thinking of this, a chill arose from the bottom of Bai Xiu's heart, and the seemingly ordinary middle-aged man in front of him didn't know how many life and blood debts he owed.

"Why do you want to kill people?" he couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart, "They should all be your classmates, right?"

Xu Ming's gaze began to drift: "Are you in the same door?" Hehe, when it comes to being ruthless, we are indeed worthy of being the same ......."

Bai Xiu vaguely guessed what happened to this archaeological team twenty years ago, but he needed to continue to find out the information he needed, so he still asked, "Did you find anything, where did Brother Xiao Ye go?"

"Brother Xiao Ye?" Xu Ming repeated suspiciously, just when Bai Xiu thought that he didn't know who the other party was, Xu Ming suddenly opened his eyes wide, staring at Bai Xiu's back and struggling in horror, "Don't come here, don't come here!"

Bai Xiu subconsciously looked back, there was nothing behind him, and he was about to ask, but he caught a glimpse of an extremely familiar smile on the corner of Xu Ming's mouth, he realized something, but he didn't have time to stop it at all.

With a loud bang, Xu Ming smashed straight down like a dead corpse, of course, he quickly became a real dead corpse, blood gushing out from under him, his eyes widened angrily, and he gradually lost his voice.

Bai Xiu finally came back to his senses and hurriedly jumped down.

After a little inspection, he was stunned, Xu Ming should not have fallen to his death at such a height, but it happened that there was a stubble stump where he fell, and Xu Ming's neck was directly broken by it, which killed him.

Xu Ming's death is very similar to Cen Cui's death in a sense, Bai Xiu thought that the same was true of pine needles, but in fact he took it for granted, so is Xu Ming's death a coincidence?

He didn't know, and he didn't even have time to ask who Xu Ming was hiding from, was it the revenge of the remaining members of the archaeological team, or the murderer in Qucheng?

All the answers were buried in the dust of time with Xu Ming's death, unless he could find Sun Ying or that Xiao Ye brother.

But......

He closed Xu Ming's eyes lightly, and thought gloomily, what is the use of finding them, maybe they will also die inexplicably.

It seems that everything is back to that question, what are they looking at? Bai Xiu regretted that he didn't ask Pine Needle this question, maybe Xu Ming wouldn't have lost his life in such an inexplicable way.

He carried Xu Ming's body back to the treehouse and placed it on a wooden bed, while he picked up one of his notebooks and sat at the small desk to look through it.

Suddenly, his gaze froze, and he quickly swept his gaze over the next few pages, and when he closed the notebook, he unconsciously lost his mind - Brother Xiao Ye, he seemed to know where Brother Xiao Ye had gone.

The following is an excerpt from Xu Ming's diary in the notebook:

"On a certain day, the weather was cloudy.

On the sixth day after the Hongshan Cultural Site in Niluo Gorge was cleaned up, we finally made another discovery, and only 30 kilometers away from it, we surveyed a special ethnic site.

Since there was no similar research before, we tentatively classified it as a cave dwelling ruin, and gave it the nickname Treehouse Village.

That being said, they are different from the normal cave dwellers, because they are so highly civilized, I don't know how to describe this, I think I thought I had a very sci-fi dream when I first arrived.

Who would have thought that in a site that is inhabited thousands of years ago, there would be such things as sightseeing elevators and airships?

Of course, if I tell my friends about this one day, they won't believe it, and I can't convince them, because these mysterious ancient technologies have been moved away by the above, and only a lonely treehouse is left here.

And that's no longer part of our research. ”

"On a certain day in a certain year, a certain month, the weather was thunderstorming.

I'm glad I persevered because I found the remnants.

Since last night, it seems to have entered the rainy season, and the rain has been falling non-stop, and after dinner in the evening, the rain finally stopped, and I walked out of the treehouse where I was temporarily staying, and imagined that I was one of the aboriginal people.

I walked to the middle of the woods and saw a well that seemed to have a special magic that drew me to climb down carefully.

It wasn't empty, I found it.

I have to say, it's so perfect, and only such a mysterious race would make such a thing.

Unfortunately, when I called the old man to talk about this, he ignored him and asked me to go back to Niluo Gorge, because although it is similar to the Hongshan Cultural Site, it is a completely different culture, and it will definitely not help his research.

Sometimes I think he is really selfish and very utilitarian, but sometimes I am very sympathetic, understanding and even a little admires him.

I heard that he started to study Hongshan culture when it was first discovered, and the social environment at that time was different from now, his style was often denounced as heresy, his teacher gave up on him, and even his wife divorced him, and he didn't know what he was obsessed with.

In fact, I don't agree with him very much, how can there be any gods and immortals in the world, isn't it looking for a fairy to boast about the gods in the era of defeating cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods.

However, I won't say it, anyway, everyone else is following his wishes, and I'll go with the flow. ”

"On a certain day, the weather rained.

I suspect that the old man is crazy, saying that the Hongshan Cultural Site is not the Hongshan Cultural Site, and drove us to this deep mountain and old forest to find the Hongshan Cultural Site in his mouth.

Zhou Yu didn't persuade him, even Brother Xiao Ye joined in the fun, are they all crazy?"

"On a certain day, the weather rained.

I felt like I was going crazy, and I couldn't stand going around in this deserted place on a rainy day.

Speaking of which, I admire Cen Cui very much, she is a little girl who is really hard-working and hard-working, and I don't know what kind of wishful husband she will find in the end, Xiao Ye's brother is very good.

Wei Min is too bad like that, relying on the old man to be his brother-in-law, he just called us around and drank something.

Of course, if she falls in love with me one day, I will be good to her. ”

"On a certain day, the weather rained.

It's really unlucky, we encountered a mudslide, fortunately the scale is not large, otherwise we would have to go to the Yama Temple to find the Hongshan Cultural Site of Nalaoshizi.

Speaking of which, the geology here is really unstable, no wonder the environment is so good, and there are no villages. ”

"On a certain day, the weather rained.

I don't remember how long it had been raining, but we found a place to rest, and it wasn't too far from where we were.

It's weird, why didn't I find it before, it was a loss to Brother Xiaoye's sharp eyes.

What is even more exciting is that we inquired about where the real Hongshan cultural site is.

Hey, the old man didn't lie. ”

"On a certain day in a certain year, in a certain month, the weather was fine.

The sky finally cleared, and we set off at noon. ”

"The weather is unknown on a certain day.

Am I dreaming?

How can there be such a place in the world?

It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful...... I can't believe my eyes, no abbot immortal island is as good as it, is this the abode of the immortals?"

"The weather is unknown on a certain day.

I, I killed him! No, I didn't kill him, they forced me! Yes, they killed him! I didn't kill him, they killed him! They still want to kill me! Help me! Help!

……

I killed him, he died, I killed them, he killed them, they killed him, he killed her......"

Seeing this, Bai Xiu was a little skeptical that Xu Ming had already gone insane, but it was already clear what the archaeological team had experienced twenty years ago.
