Chapter 432: The Professor's Secret
Pierre was already surprised by all this, and he went straight through the hall of the house to the stairs at the back. However, Pierre did not go upstairs, but went through a small door behind the stairs to the basement below the house.
The basement is also lit by candles, which makes it feel even more eerie. In the deepest part of the basement, there is an altar made of stone. Candles are also lit around the altar, but it is unknown what has been added to these candles, causing the flames of the candles to be dark green. Pierre's face turned green, and he looked very hideous.
Pierre stopped in front of the altar, bowed his head respectfully, and muttered to himself in a whisper of obscure prayers.
The prayers are long and complex, and belong to any modern language family, but to a certain language of ancient Europe. It's a very complex language that no one uses it anymore. Coupled with the fact that this prayer is extremely long, Pierre's ability to memorize such a large passage skillfully shows that he has put a lot of effort into it.
After reciting the prayer, Pierre picked up a silver dagger that was placed on the altar. This dagger is more than half a foot long, and the whole body is engraved with intricate patterns, like a dense electronic circuit board. Some of the patterns were so badly worn that they could only be barely seen, and from this alone, it was certain that the dagger was not too old to be old.
Pierre looked at the dagger with reverence, then flipped his wrist and stabbed it deep into his arm. Immediately, blood flowed down the pattern on the dagger, concentrating on a protrusion at the base of the blade, and from there it dripped into a small pit in the altar.
At this time, it can be seen that the pattern on the dagger is not just for beauty. Rather, it has the effect of directing the blood. Pierre's blood dripped down the patterns into the pits of the altar. Soon the pit was filled.
Stab yourself in the arm with a dagger. Normal people would never do that. However, at this time, Pierre's expression was fanatical, as if he did not feel pain at all, and he was not worried that he would die of excessive blood loss.
The pit in the altar was soon filled with Pierre's blood, and only then did he nod contentedly and slowly pull the dagger out of his arm.
It's also strange to say, as soon as the dagger was pulled out, the wounds automatically closed together, and the bleeding was much better. Pierre didn't even look at the wound. He carefully put the dagger back on the altar.
As soon as the dagger was placed back on the altar, the blood in the pit quickly disappeared, and in an instant it was all gone, as if the pit had never been empty.
And at the same time as the blood disappeared, in the darkness in front of the altar, a phantom gradually lit up. If Jiang Ping was here, he would definitely be surprised. Because this phantom is exactly the same as the "Future Eye" gem he stole before he was reborn, it is almost like a laser holographic projection.
Seeing that the phantom was getting brighter and brighter, Pierre hurriedly fell to the ground and muttered a prayer. At this moment, his face was full of reverence and solemnity, and he was completely immersed in it.
However, the phantom has not been around for long. After just a dozen seconds, it began to darken, and then quickly disappeared into darkness. Pierre, on the other hand, was lying on the ground. I didn't get up again until I had finished the prayer.
By this time, the basement had returned to normal, and the phantom had completely disappeared, except for the green candlelight around the altar, which illuminated Pierre's face in an eerie light. He stood in front of the altar for a moment, then left the basement in silence and headed straight for the second floor.
There are few windows on the second floor of the house, so it is difficult for the outside sunlight to shine in, and it feels similar to the basement. Pierre came to a room with familiarity, and on a sofa in the room, a hooded man sit.
The room was already dimly lit, and there were a lot of candles lit behind the man, so Pierre couldn't see the other person clearly, and he didn't even know if the man was male or female, or how old he was.
"Sit!" Seeing Pierre come in, the man on the sofa said simply. Judging by his voice, this man should be a man, and he is not young.
Pierre was also polite, and sat casually on the sofa opposite. Immediately, a man in a robe came and bandaged his wounds.
Although the wound was no longer bleeding after Pierre pulled the dagger off, of course it was better to bandage it. He allowed the man to bandage his wounds, but his eyes kept falling on the man opposite.
The man was silent for a moment, then asked, "I know what you said on the phone, and if that's the case, we'll have to pay attention to that student of yours." ”
Pierre whispered: "I think so too, if he just guesses, it is too much of a coincidence, it is indeed a bit strange." ”
The hooded man nodded and said, "Indeed, it would be great if he was really the person we were looking for." After decades, I finally see hope. ”
Although Pierre was also very excited, he still reminded the other party: "No matter what, we must not act rashly, our existence must not be known to the world, otherwise it will ......"
"Of course I do." The hooded man said to Pierre, "Don't worry, I'll let them be careful." Arrange it carefully first, and then investigate it slowly. The stakes are high and must not be sloppy. ”
"If you know, it's good." Receiving a satisfactory answer, Pierre also stood up and said: "I can't stay here too long, and I will go back now." ”
The hooded man didn't stand up, but he still said to Pierre: "You did a good job this time, if that Chinese student is really the person we are looking for, it shows that we who have been inherited underground for so many years can finally walk in the sun!" ”
"That's right!" Pierre also said a little excitedly: "I have been waiting for this day for decades, I thought that I would not see hope in my lifetime, but I didn't expect that there would be today, thank you for the blessing of God!" ”
"God bless!" The hooded man also whispered these four words, and then waved his hand to Pierre, which was considered goodbye.
Pierre didn't mean to stay long, turned around and walked out the door. But as soon as he reached the door, he stopped and said, "By the way, there is one more detail to tell you." ”
"When he peeks into my future, his eyes will magically change." Pierre recalls the situation and says with some uncertainty: "I could see the light and shadow in his pupils constantly changing, as if the whole universe was in them, and I even felt like my soul was going to be sucked in." ”
Pierre's words also intrigued the hooded man, and he couldn't help leaning forward and asking, "Is there such a thing?" ”
Pierre nodded silently before adding, "Although this situation is very short-lived, it should only happen for a split second. But I really doubt what the consequences would be if this continues for a while. ”
"What you say matters." The hooded man pondered for a moment, then said to Pierre, "I don't know what this is, but I'll look up the books and see if I can find any clues." ”
"Good!" Pierre nodded slightly, then turned away.
The hooded man sat on the couch, reminiscing about what Pierre had said to him. After a long, long time, he muttered to himself, "Like a universe that wants to suck the soul into?" It's strange how pupils can give people such a feeling......"
Of course, Jiang Ping didn't know that Pierre would join such an organization that was full of mystery and evil, and regarded the Future Eye Gem as an object of worship. Otherwise, he would never have used snobbery in front of Pierre.
However, even if Jiang Ping could see through other people's fortunes, he couldn't know the development trend of everything in advance, so he didn't know that he was in trouble, and it was a big trouble.
After receiving Jiang Ping's comfort, Lin Xiaonan's confidence increased greatly and he began to devote all his energy to preparing for the fashion show.
And a direct consequence of the long-legged beauty doing this is that he has no time to accompany Jiang Ping at all, and he has returned to the state of "loneliness".
However, Jiang Ping is still very supportive of Lin Xiaonan's pursuit. He is not the kind of feudal and selfish person, he has his own career and pursuit of women, and he has always supported it.
Becoming a fashion designer has always been Lin Xiaonan's pursuit. And now that she is facing such a good opportunity, of course, she must firmly grasp it, which Jiang Ping can completely understand.
Therefore, Jiang Ping is like a newcomer to Paris, he goes to school every day and is on duty when he arrives, and he is no different from other students. Although Jiang Ping had already obtained the kind of blue pigment that was treasured by the University of Paris, it was not until the end of the semester. He still has to play his role well to avoid arousing suspicion from others.
And Jenny seems to have made up her mind to be with Jiang Ping, and she will sit next to him every time she goes to class. Although the French girl no longer said that she wanted to confirm the relationship between the two, her behavior spoke for itself.
At the same time, Jiang Ping also found that Pierre looked at his side more often during class. He didn't know Pierre's secret, so he attributed it to Jeanne's reason. After all, Pierre has seen Lin Xiaonan, and now Jenny is so close to him, it will inevitably attract his attention.
However, Jiang Ping didn't care about this, as long as Pierre didn't know that he had stolen the school's blue paint. As for which girl to date, even Lin Xiaonan and Jenny at the same time, Pierre doesn't care about it, and he doesn't have to care about his opinion at all.
Such boring days passed day by day, and about ten days later, Jiang Ping received a call from Hao Sue.
"I'm Hao Chau." This pair of cold old men on the phone is the same, and after a simple self-introduction, he immediately said to Jiang Ping: "There is news about that kind of paint, but you had better come over once, and see you in my store at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon!" (To be continued......)
