Chapter 642: Chu River
The man looked gray, guessing that he was fifty or sixty years old, thin and thin, although there were already a lot of wrinkles on his face, but the edges and corners were still there, and it could be seen that he should have been a handsome man when he was young.
When the old man looked at the dice before, he saw Zhou Wen and the two of them, and he knew that they were coming, but he didn't seem to communicate with Zhou Wen and them, just stood there dejectedly.
"What do you call Big Brother?" Liuyun asked.
When the old man heard the voice, he seemed to be like Chu had just woken up, and subconsciously replied: "My name is Chu He, and I am a professor in the History Department of Imperial Capital University. ”
"Ho He, is your wife's name Dangwu?" Liuyun joked.
"It's not Hoe He, it's the Chu River in the Han realm of the Chu River. The old man didn't have a sense of humor, or in such an environment, there was nothing that could make him feel funny, so the old man just explained it very seriously.
When Zhou Wen heard the old man's words, his eyes widened suddenly, and he asked in disbelief: "Chu He, how many professors named Chu He are in the History Department of the Imperial Capital Academy?"
"It's just me. Chu He seemed to be a little numb, he didn't care why Zhou Wen would ask such a strange question at all.
Zhou Wen looked at Chu He excitedly, in the entire Imperial Capital Academy, there was only one professor name that Zhou Wen knew, and that was Chu He.
The reason why Zhou Wen can remember this name is not because of how famous Chu He is, no matter how famous Chu He is in his industry, Zhou Wen will not care, let alone remember his name.
But this Chu River was different, because there was a professor of history at the Imperial Capital Academy, who was one of the old principals on the list of their expedition team.
Zhou Wen had seen the name and information of Chu He on the list, and he had also seen the group photo of the expedition team.
It's just that Zhou Wen only took a general look at it at that time, and Chu He was not his target, so he didn't care much.
Now that I recall it, this Chu River is indeed somewhat similar to the Chu River in the photo, but the Chu River in the photo is fatter, not so thin, and the state looks better, the red face is full of light, the hair is still black, not as gray as it is now, and the Chu River at that time was in high spirits.
"Is this really Professor Chu He in the expedition team? Shouldn't he have entered the Zhuolu battlefield with the old principal and them, they were missing together, how could they be here?" Zhou Wenwen had already decided that the old principal should have been killed, but a person who should have been killed with the old principal actually appeared in Huangquan City, which made Zhou Wen's heart regenerate.
"Could it be that Huangquan City is really the place where human beings return after death? Could it be that the people in this city are not living people, but ghosts who have died? Then what are Liuyun and me? Could it be that when we don't even know it, we are actually dead, and it is our souls that have entered Huangquan City?" Zhou Wen shook his head, leaving this absurd and bizarre idea out of his mind.
"Professor Chu, have you ever been to the Zhuolu Battlefield to do research work?" Zhou Wen stared at Chu He and asked, he was looking forward to it, this Chu He was the Chu He Professor of the expedition team.
If they were really the same person, since Professor Chu He was still alive, then it was very likely that the old principal was not killed, after all, no body was found in Zhuolu, and no other relics were found.
Since childhood, there are not many people who are good to Chu He, and the old principal is one of them, Zhou Wen feels that a good person like the old principal should not die so early, at least he doesn't want the old principal to die so early.
"Nope. Chu He shook his head and said.
"How could it not be? If you think about it carefully, the Federation invited you to join the expedition to Zhuolu, and you went to Zhuo......lu with Professor Ouyang Ting and several other experts and professors," Zhou Wen said.
After saying this for a while, Chu He's thinking seemed to be a lot more active, and after listening to what Zhou Wen said, he lowered his head and thought for a while and said: "I remember, there is such a thing, at that time, an institution affiliated to the federation did invite me to do research work in Zhuolu, and I remember that there was Professor Ouyang Ting in the list at that time. ”
"You went to Zhuolu with them, why are you here alone?" Zhou Wen asked with some excitement, he had already looked at the other people on the long street just now, and he didn't find the old headmaster and other members of the expedition team.
Who knew that Chu He shook his head and said: "No, no, no, I didn't go to Zhuolu, because I had a major discovery at that time and was going to do research in the Taklamakan Desert, so I refused the invitation and didn't go to Zhuolu." ”
"You refused the invitation?" Zhou Wen looked at Chu He, his face full of incredulity.
He had seen the information of the expedition team, although there was no information after the disappearance, but before that, the records were still very detailed, and even when they were stationed, there were their check-in records.
Many people in the residency had seen Professor Chu He, and some people had chatted with him, but now Chu He actually said that he had not been to Zhuolu and refused the invitation from the beginning, which made Zhou Wen have a lot of thoughts in his mind.
"Is this Chu River lying? Or did he really not go to Zhuolu? If he really didn't go to Zhuolu, then who is that Chu River in Zhuolu? Is this Chu River fake, or is the Chu River of the expedition team fake? Or is it the same person at all, is it that Chu He died and his soul entered Huangquan City and has forgotten the past? This is not right, he still remembers his name, and he also knows that he is a professor of the Imperial Capital Academy, and it doesn't look like his memory has been washed away...... Zhou Wen's brain was in chaos, and he couldn't figure it out for a while.
"Yes, I refused. Chu He said bitterly: "I also hesitated at the beginning, if I chose to go to Zhuolu, I would not be trapped in this hell-like place." ”
Zhou Wen thought to himself: "If you had gone to Zhuolu at the beginning, the end might not be better than now, at least you are still alive now, and the old principal can't even be sure if they are dead or not." ”
"Little junior brother, those who don't have it will talk later, we don't have much time, ask the point. Liuyun said urgently.
Zhou Wen nodded and asked, "Professor Chu, how did you enter Huangquan City, and what is the situation here?"
Chu He said: "I was studying the ruins of the Niya civilization in the great desert, who knew that I encountered a big sandstorm, and after the sandstorm passed, I saw Huangquan City, and then a fire burned around it, so I had to flee into Huangquan City. ”
Chu He and Zhou Wen's experience of entering Huangquan City was actually similar, but Zhou Wen thought of a very important question.
