Chapter 0108: Mirage
"Wake up!" Yaoyang pinched Lori's little face and woke her up.
Lori wiped her sleepy eyes and said with a pitiful face: "Uncle, what are you going to do?" ”
"I know what it means to see the dragon in the sky!" Yaoyang proudly shook a piece of paper in his hand, on which several messages collected from the computer were printed.
"Really!" Lori's eyes lit up, and of course she was sleepy, "Uncle, you're so powerful, what do you mean?" ”
"See for yourself." Yaoyang said.
Lori took the piece of paper, only looked at a few lines and stared at Yaoyang and said, "Uncle, I have a headache when I read so many words...... Why don't you tell me? ”
Yaoyang glanced at Lori helplessly, snatched the paper, pointed to the picture on it and said, "Do you know what this is?" ”
"Is this a tornado?" Lori said uncertainly.
"That's right, it's a tornado. It is a polar tornado that makes landfall in Siberia every five years, and is caused by the cold air currents of the Arctic Ocean and the ......" to talk about it.
"Uncle!" Lori interrupted Yaoyang's words, "I don't understand what you're saying, can you get to the point." What does this have to do with my teachers? ”
"You little fool, when you see the dragon in the sky, you see the dragon in the sky, you want to see the dragon in the sky! What is a tornado, isn't it a dragon in the sky! Yaoyang said.
Lori held her head high, looked at the picture of the tornado in a daze, and then looked at Yaoyang: "Really? ”
"I read thousands of messages to find this one. Moreover, the polar tornado made landfall in Siberia on April 5 last year, and approached Pearl Island on April 17. If you calculate the date, is it very similar to the day when your teacher disappeared? Yaoyang said.
Lori counted her fingers for a long time before she was surprised: "Really! The teacher left in mid-March, and it would take more than ten days to get here from Yuezhou. If this is the case, what the uncle said is not unreasonable! ”
"Of course it makes sense." Yaoyang said proudly, "I guess your teacher went to Pearl Island to see the polar tornado." ”
"But I finished reading it in April last year, why didn't the teacher come back?" Lori was puzzled.
"Look at this message again." Yaoyang pointed to another picture, above which was a silver-glittering arched building floating in mid-air, which looked very magnificent.
"What is this?" Lori asked.
"This is a mirage that was observed near Pearl Island during the appearance of a polar tornado." Yaoyang said, "This magnificent structure does not exist in any record of human civilization, and some people suspect that it is a relic of an alien civilization or an ancient civilization. ”
"What does this have to do with the teacher?" Lori still doesn't quite understand.
"I don't know what kind of person your teacher is, but I suspect he saw a mirage as well. According to the message, after the appearance of the mirage, many people formed an expedition into Siberia with the intention of looking for its traces. There's a good chance your teacher joined the expedition and went looking for a mirage! ”
This is an inference that Yaoyang came to after synthesizing various news, but there is actually no evidence. But Yaoyang compares his heart to his heart, if he sees such a magical mirage, he will definitely not hesitate to explore it.
"If Uncle said that, it's really possible! The teacher was a very erudite person and also studied these mysterious phenomena. He seemed to tell me that there was an ancient civilization on the earth, and there were different life and races in the universe, and he said that if we humans do not evolve as soon as possible, we will be swallowed up by other civilizations sooner or later. Lori suddenly realized.
"So if you want to inquire about your teacher, you should go to Pearl Island." Yaoyang said.
Pearl Island is an island in the northeast corner of Youzhou Region, only separated by a strait from Siberia, which is known as the Death Zone. It's an extremely dangerous area, but it's also a paradise for adventurers.
"Pearl Island?" Lori muttered to herself, "Teacher, will you be there?" ”
obtained the teacher's possible whereabouts from Yaoyang's mouth, and Lori was obviously in good spirits. She fiddled around with her computer and made a long list of things. As experienced adventurers have been told, these are must-haves if you don't want to die of starvation on Pearl Island, which is winter all year round.
"So many things to prepare?" Holding the list, Lori stuck out her tongue, "Isn't there anything sold locally?" ”
"To go to that kind of place, of course, you have to be completely prepared. If you bring something from the city, it can be a hassle, but it saves a lot of money. If purchased at a local field base, the price multiplies several times. Yaoyang said.
The field base is a fortress established by humans in the wild, and it is also the tentacles of civilization reaching out to the wilderness. Adventurers can't live in the wilderness for long periods of time, and the base becomes a place for them to resupply and rest. In the base, you can sell loot, buy weapons and supplies, and even accept various missions.
Although a field base requires a lot of manpower and material resources, as long as it is built, it can reap huge benefits just by hosting adventurers. If permission is obtained to expand the territory and establish a city, it means a steady stream of money.
Once an organization or family with a bit of power expands to a certain extent, the most important thing is to establish a field base. There are currently more than 200 field bases in the Republic of Kyushu, three of which have developed into small cities, and seven super-large five-star bases.
According to Yaoyang's inquiry, Pearl Island currently has two bases, which belong to the Youzhou military and the Bao family in Songjiang City.
"Uncle, you're so amazing!" Hearing Yaoyang talk about the situation in the field base, Lori's eyes widened and said, "Why don't you go with me to find the teacher." ”
"It seems like a good idea to go to Pearl Island." Yaoyang has long had a deep curiosity about the wild, especially after the last online sword simulation level, Yaoyang has the idea of becoming an adventurer.
"If Uncle goes, I'll buy two copies!" Lori said expectantly.
"Let me think about it." Yaoyang really wants to go, but Bohai still has a lot of things that he can't let go. Especially the incident that happened last night, he must make sure that there is no trace left, otherwise he will not be able to live in peace no matter how far he goes.
"Okay, I'll go shopping first, and if Uncle decides, let me know." Lori pouted.
Lori goes out to shop, and Yaoyang returns to the academy to find out the news. While they were busy, Yan Piaoling was flipping through a large stack of materials.
Dozens of old books are scattered around, hundreds of materials of various ages are piled up on the table, and Yan Piaoling's once spacious and tidy office has now become a garbage dump for recycling waste paper.
In front of Yan Piaoling, there were several photos borrowed from the police station, which were the results of the forensic examination after the death of Ma Long and Long Aotian. As you can see from the photos, they all have wounds on their bodies that are as thin as cicada's wings, and almost all of them are fatal.
As for the other deceased, some of them were left with huge jet-like wounds on their bodies, which were caused by some kind of sharp object that had been shot through. According to the forensic examination, the weapon used by the murderer should be a dagger, and the most likely surname is a sharp and flexible folding knife.
However, the ability to pierce the human body with a folding knife and even cause a jet wound is really shocking. Combined with the eyewitness's statement that the murderer was a little girl, it is even more unimaginable.
"The murder method is sophisticated and ruthless, the murderer has strange power beyond ordinary people, judging from the wound, it is almost fatal, is it the person of that organization!" Yan Piaoling threw away the information at hand and sat down in her chair gloomily, the name of a killer organization appeared in her mind, and almost the moment the name jumped out, she couldn't help but shudder.
"Grim Reaper", no one knows how this group originated, no one knows how many members there are, and no one knows where they are, and who they usually disguise. There is little to no understanding of the most mysterious killer organization in history.
The only major event that can be recorded in history is the "assassination of Albert Einstein", which happened 60 years ago.
At that time, the Holy Infant of Martial Arts was already dying, and he was doing his best to improve the brain domain network. It is said that a certain force took a fancy to the future of the development of the brain domain network and wanted to cooperate with Einstein, but was unceremoniously rejected by the old man.
That force was furious, but it didn't dare to confront Einstein head-on, so it paid an astronomical price and hired the top five killers on the Grim Reaper list to assassinate Einstein!
Decades have passed, and no one knows exactly what happened. In short, Einstein was safe and sound, that force was completely dismantled, and the killers of death disappeared forever in the fog of history.
The official report on this incident was only very brief, and the killer was not involved at all, whether he was alive or dead. Until Einstein's death, the assassination was still one of the top 10 mysteries in history, and no one knew anything more detailed.
Although the Grim Reaper failed, their courage to challenge Einstein was amazing. The Grim Reaper gradually became a mysterious code name, and for a while any stall novels with the word Grim Reaper sold very well. Among the people, there are many rumors about the Grim Reaper, and their killing methods are spread to the gods.
Yan Piaoling doesn't know much about the Grim Reaper. However, she did know that there were some people among the killers of the Grim Reaper, who possessed strange powers that were difficult for ordinary people to match, and played with sharp daggers, who could deliver fatal blows in silence.
"If it's really the killer of death, it's not easy to do......" Yan Piaoling looked out the window, his eyes flashed with a strange light, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally grabbed the phone on the table.
"Let Xinhong help everyone take action, track down a little girl for me, about twelve or thirteen years old, and I'll fax you the simulated portrait." Yan Piaoling sent a portrait drawn based on the confession of an eyewitness into the fax machine, and if Yaoyang was present, he would be surprised that the portrait was seventy percent similar to Lori herself!
