Looking at Professor Xu, Lu Ran's pupils instantly dilated, and he was stunned. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Professor Xu asked this question, Lu Ran thought of the green book in his backpack.

But is Professor Xu talking about that notebook?

Why does he know about my book?

If he's not talking about a book, then what's it?

For a while, countless questions flashed in Lu Ran's mind.

"Do you have it with you? Don't be confused, I'm talking about the notebook that you have in mind. ”

Lu Ran originally thought about returning to his office seat, taking out the notebook and verifying with Professor Xu to see if what he was talking about was this thing.

However, judging from Professor Xu's affirmative tone, the professor was referring to the illogical notebook that appeared out of thin air on his body.

Ever since Lu Ran saw this book, he didn't expect that there would be a second person in the world who knew about its existence.

Not to mention that someone can explain to him what kind of existence it is.

Unexpectedly, someone suddenly told him that he knew the existence of this thing and knew that this thing was in his hands.

Lu Ran had to be surprised, and there was some faint excitement.

"Yes, I have a notebook. A notebook that used to be dangerous for me. I'm still using it now. Teacher, how do you know?"

"I only recently learned that it's in your hands. Professor Xu's answer was still vague.

"Professor, can you tell me what it is?"

Lu Ran asked the question he was most curious about.

He always wanted someone to answer the question.

"I can't. Professor Xu replied dryly, seeing Lu Ran's slightly disappointed expression, he smiled again and said, "If you enter our institution and abide by the confidentiality agreement, I can tell you." ”

Lu Ran didn't expect that Professor Xu still went back to the topic just now.

But this time, the weight that the professor put out was indeed very tempting.

For Lu Ran, this is almost a choice without a choice.

Whether or not to enter this unfamiliar institution is a matter to be discussed.

However, the secret of the book is what Lu Ran must know.

There was no way he could have missed this opportunity.

"Professor, I'm not sure I'll be up to the job there. I'd like to find out first, do you think that's okay? I can sign a non-disclosure agreement. ”

Although Lu Ran trusted Professor Xu, he cautiously put forward a more compromise proposal.

"Good. Professor Xu agreed simply, "Then let's go." ”

The action is also very simple.

"Now?" Lu Ran was surprised again. All morning, his nerves had no chance to relax.

"Yes. I'm going to work, and you happen to be with me. ”

"Oh, good. Is there anything I need to prepare?"

"Bring your bag, the rest is nothing. Oh, and turn off your phone before going in. I'll remind you when the time comes. ”

"Good. ”

Coming out of Professor Xu's office, Lu Ran felt that in just half an hour, his world was about to change.

I am about to face a great unknown.

Maybe nothing will change in his life, or maybe it will be changed forever.

He walked over to his seat and picked up his backpack.

Then he walked up to Sissi's side and said to her, "I have something to go out with Professor Xu, and I'll contact you when I'm done." If the situation is urgent, please refer other counselors first. ”

"Well, good. ”

It was impossible for Sissi to guess where Lu Ran was going.

Lu Ran got into Xu Jianfeng's car and drove all the way in the direction away from the city center.

The further the car goes, the narrower the road becomes.

I was about to drive in the direction of the suburbs.

It was just two hours of driving, and the professor's car had not stopped.

Lu Ran felt more and more confused about the destination he was about to reach.

When he first heard the professor introduce the nature of this institution, Lu Ran thought that this institution should be set up in a foreign country, such as the United States, a country with developed scientific research and wide boundaries.

However, when the professor told him to go now without any special preparations, Lu Ran guessed that this place should be within driving distance.

But how remote is a research institute located?

It won't be in a deserted place, and it's not convenient to contact the outside world, right?

Just when Lu Ran felt that this road was far away, the professor's car stopped.

"It's here. ”

Lu Ran felt that this trip was farther than the Taofang Village that Officer Wu went to on a mission last time.

After Lu Ran got out of the car, after seeing the surrounding environment, he affirmed his judgment even more, this place is not only farther than Taofang Village, but also more remote.

At first glance, this place is really deserted.

Lu Ran didn't see other people or other cars.

Next to the cement road is a deserted land, covered with a thick layer of yellow mud and dust.

"Teacher, where is the institution you are talking about?"

"There. ”

Xu Jianfeng pointed towards the far side of the wasteland.

Lu Ran didn't understand, he looked to the right-hand side again, it was still a wasteland.

Further on, there is a hillside in the far side of the wasteland, and further in, it must be all mountains.

"It turns out that there is a mountain attached to it. ”

Lu Ran vaguely saw a few dilapidated brick houses on the hillside.

It looks like it's been a few years, and it covers a large area, more than one, connected by a row of houses, at least 300 square meters. However, there should be no one inside, the windows of the house are only a few hollow holes, the door panels are almost destroyed, and only one door remains.

Lu Ran looked at it carefully for a few minutes.

There was no one, he didn't see anyone walking around in it, and there was no sound of talking.

However, Lu Ran still pointed to the dilapidated houses and asked:

"Is that what you're talking about?"

Because, except for one thing that could be called a building, there are no obvious traces of any other place around.

Unexpectedly, Professor Xu replied to him affirmatively: "Yes, it is there." ”

Those dilapidated houses that are ventilated on all sides?

It is difficult for Lu Ran to associate this abandoned drill tile house on the side of the road with any authoritative organization.

"Follow me. ”

Lu Ran had no choice but to follow Professor Xu and walk towards the yellow sand and mud next to him.

After walking through the dirt and up the hill for a short time, you will arrive at the red brick houses you just saw.

The house has no door, and Lu Ran is like walking into an unfinished building, coming in and out freely.

Lu Ran walked in through a doorless door frame, and as he expected, it was empty and empty.
