In a trance, I heard footsteps on the stairs, exactly the same as when the big man left.

I tried my best to get up, but my body shook, but I slipped to the ground.

"Why are you back again, what are you doing?" With a plop, David fell to the ground, and the sentence was only halfway through.

"Of course I'm coming back, this is my city, my territory, I can do whatever I want, I can deal with whoever I want. Very good, now that the two of you have fallen, plus Miss Gu, everyone has come together, and you can go back to the Putianma military base you mentioned. The big man's voice sounded triumphantly.

"You used hypnotism against us, we all fell asleep, who will take you away?" David said.

"There's something you may not believe, but I've seen such a device before." Said the big shot.

David laughed, because not only him, but even I didn't believe that the big man was telling the truth.

"You must laugh at me for bragging, but with that rope one can be psychic, and think, see, and guess all sorts of illusory things, and be free to enter and exit them. As I said, that rope is a national treasure, and it is impossible for you to take it with you. The big man said, walked to the corner, and opened the box.

I desperately opened my eyes and looked up obliquely, and the rope had been grasped by the big man.

"Each knot represents a big secret, not only for the Northern Hemisphere, but for the whole planet. The rope is the chronicle of the earth, and any country that gets it can become the master of the world. You say, "Something so important, can I willingly let you take it?" My original intention was to take it with you, through all the time, as the knot says, back to your future. The knot tells me what the future will look like, and I've been looking forward to it for a long, long time, because it also tells me that with enough patience, I can go there and become the overlord of the new world. Now I've waited for my chance, and it's you who I'm waiting for. Said the big man.

"The focus of the problem is indeed on this rope." David cried out under his breath.

At critical moments, we still underestimate the big guys. If you think about this early, David and I should both list the big man as the number one strong enemy.

"Tell me anything else this rope tells you." I say.

"All the secrets of the Northern Hemisphere, all the secrets of the Arctic Circle, all the secrets of the Earth's core. You know? Alexander the Great's sword was not intended to resolve the contradictions, but to prevent future generations from continuing to explore the secrets of this rope. But he forgot that even if the rope was split in two, the secrets would still exist, only to make it more difficult to decipher. For the most brilliant masters, this is not difficult at all. Said the big man.

In fact, modern people should be grateful to the ancients, because the ancients unreservedly gave all their knowledge to future generations. If the knotted rope account was not so obscure, this period of history would have been recorded in history long ago, and its value far exceeded that of China's "Zizhi Tongjian" and "Historical Records".

If it weren't for the sabre-rattling, I should really congratulate the big guys. His ability to decipher and preserve his country's history is a great thing for the Northern Alliance. It's a pity that we've turned against each other now, and he's going to kill people to protect this secret.

"You've deciphered everything about the knotted rope and seem to know more than we do. When I was in Area 51, I roughly calculated that once all the secrets left by the ancients were solved one by one, then the history of this world would be rewritten. David said.

"There is no doubt about the history I know far more than the Chinese call Asian history. What's more, this rope brought me not only history, but also the future. You think I'm full of pessimism and disappointment about the defense of the capital, but that's not the case. If one has already seen the future, how can one worry about the short-term disadvantages of the present? I know as much as you know, and more. Said the big man.

I have nothing more to say, because things have come to this point, and they have continued to exceed my expectations. In fact, as long as you think about it, from World War II to the Cold War, the big men fought for endless interests for the Northern Alliance, both in terms of land and military spending, which is not much better than the ingenious seizure of the United States. It can be said that among the top powers in the world, the United States and the Northern Alliance were established by plunder, and only the Chinese relied on their own hard work and courage to accumulate little by little. Compared with the two, the gold content is naturally different.

"I wish I could live to see the secrets that the rope brings us." David said.

The situation changed abruptly, and he also changed from the previous leader to a prisoner, and his tone naturally became extremely pessimistic.

"You will live only in the prisons of the Northern Alliance until you die. As for me, I can take your place and run into the future. Said the big man.

David and I looked at each other, and a wry smile spread across his face.

Indeed, he originally thought that he was a savior or a curiosity hunter, and he could bring the big man to the Futenma military base as his biggest trophy. The relationship between him and the big man was originally thought to be the relationship between the monkey trickster and the monkey, but now it is just reversed, he is a monkey and the big man is a monkey tricker. This change is a huge blow to his IQ and is simply difficult to accept.

"We still have time, if it's convenient, please tell us what exactly the knotted knot notes are recorded?" I say.

The big man shook his head: "I don't want to say it now, let's wait until Miss Gu comes." ”

There was suddenly hope in David's eyes, because we all knew very well that Gu Qingcheng alone could not destroy all the ninjas, so he could only fight and retreat and return here. In that case, the ninja in white will follow and discover the conspiracy of the big man. Even if he can't turn the tables, David may be rescued and escape from here.

"You've got a picture of the dragon we were talking about, right?" The big guy asked.

David shook his head: "No." ”

The big man walked over, bent down, reached into David's coat pocket with his right hand, and immediately pulled out a photo.

It was a five-inch photograph, and from a distance, it was indeed a giant dragon, walking through the mountains.

"This is what I'm looking for, this dragon, my future mount." The big man muttered.

I've worked with David for so long, and he's never mentioned it, let alone shown it to me.

"That's fake, it's synthetic." David said.

"No matter what you say, I know that this picture is real." The big man laughed and pocketed the photo.

"Idlers in the 51 area will also make some fake photos to disturb the enemy's sight. This one is just a random fabrication, and I won't lie to you. David said.

It was the Great Wall – I didn't look at the picture up close, but I could recognize the names of the mountains after just a few glances.

The Great Wall of China stretches from Shanhaiguan in the east to Jiayuguan in the west, and passes through all the mountains in the north in the middle, and the characteristics are very obvious. So the picture shows a dragon, but I thought it was the Great Wall of China.

"It's a fake." I say.

The big man shook his head again: "You are all wrong, when you think something is fake, it is just common sense to tell you, if you don't go to see, ask, listen, and touch for yourself, how do you get your own real experience?" There is nothing impossible in the world, and those who say it is impossible are only because their knowledge has not reached the corresponding height. Why does China have the Great Wall while other countries do not, is it possible that Chinese craftsmen are smarter than other countries? No, it's because they got the template for building the Great Wall, and this template was given to them by the dragon. Otherwise, wouldn't it be easier to build the Great Wall directly in a straight line or at the foot of the mountain? At that time, the dragon hovered between the mountains and mountains, leaving indelible traces, and then Chinese craftsmen built the Great Wall according to the traces left by the dragon. The Chinese confuse the emperor with the dragon, so the appearance of this dragon makes them think that this is the will of God. ”

The Great Wall has long been regarded as a giant dragon by people all over the world and a symbol of China. However, in all the texts, it is never mentioned that it was a real dragon.

I can't tell where David's picture came from, but he must have had an ulterior motive in it. Judging by the descriptions of the big shots, that photo is another huge secret.

"Miss Gu should be coming soon." Said the big shot.

"yes." David nodded.

They all regarded Gu Tingcheng as a new opportunity, and only I was worried about her life. Whether facing Japanese ninjas or big shots, it is not so easy to deal with.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded downstairs, and Gu Qingcheng rolled upstairs like the wind. Stopped across from the three of us.

"You're finally here." Said the big shot.

"Thank goodness you're finally here." David said.

Only I didn't say a word, looking Gu Qingcheng up and down. Her body was covered in blood, but her clothes were undamaged, proving that it was the blood of the enemy.

"Kill eleven enemies." Gu Tingcheng said with a smile.

"You're here, we should go." Said the big shot.

Gu Qingcheng's gaze swept over the faces of the three of us in turn, and he nodded silently. She should have been well aware of the current situation, because only the big guys were standing, and David and I were all down.

"The real arranger turned out to be His Excellency the Marshal, and we all failed." Gu Tingcheng said.

"It doesn't matter if you lose or not, there has never been a second winner on the territory of my country. You are not, and neither are the Nazi troops. The big man smirked.

"What is the fate of this city?" Gu Tingcheng asked.

"A big bang, a big bang like a flower show at the National Day ceremony, sending everyone to heaven." Said the big shot.

I understood what he meant, deliberately showed weakness, lured the enemy to the bait, and when all the armored forces entered the city, they began to explode, turning the capital into a mass grave for Nazi troops. This kind of strategy is also often mentioned in ancient Chinese art of war books - luring the enemy deep and burning the jade.

"There are still people in the city, innocent people, soldiers who have died for you...... I saw with my own eyes that women and children, the youngest of whom was only six or seven years old, had already ascended the walls. Gu Qingcheng frowned.

"In the salute of fate, no one is immune. This is war, and everyone carries original sin. All I can do is take them to heaven in the next reincarnation. Said the big man.

His expression was still smug, not the slightest bit guilty.

If it is said that in order to eliminate the Nazi troops, he lost the lives of the people of the city, this price is really appalling, even for the Nazi Führer and the Italian commander-in-chief.

"You can't do that, you're committing a crime." Gu Qingcheng shook his head.

After World War II, the International Tribunal personally convicted hundreds of war criminals, most of whom went to the gallows, and received the punishment they deserved. The world is always a world of wins and defeats, and if a decent person like a big man commits a war crime, I don't know who should be judged.

"That's not something you should be worried about, now, you leave with me and leave the two of them here." Said the big shot.

"That's impossible, if they don't go, I won't go." Gu Qingcheng shook his head.

"Is that really the case?" The big guy asked.

Without waiting for Gu Qingcheng to answer, he suddenly bent down, pulled out a dagger from his sleeve, and slammed it into David's chest.

David screamed and convulsed. The knife was not fatal, it was only half an inch, but it had already distorted David's facial features in pain.

"Every time you say a word, I'll stab him until his blood is drained." Said the big shot.

This is a difficult problem in front of Gu Qingcheng, if he follows the orders of the big man to return to the modern era together, it will cause another chaotic world. However, if she does not obey, the big man will kill David first, and it will be my turn second.
