Chapter 47: Clues
Sensing the presence of something behind her, Mu Lan immediately released the [Sal's Shield], and then quickly turned her head.
As soon as she turned her head, Mu Lan saw a human face, it was a miserable white face that couldn't distinguish between men and women, expressionless, eyes without pupils staring at herself motionlessly, these eyes were surprisingly big, directly protruding from the eye sockets and exposed, looking inexplicably weird.
Mu Lan didn't think much about it, and directly swung out a wind blade, and the spell hit its body and penetrated it directly, this thing instantly turned into a cloud of black mist, hovering around the roof, mixed with the woman's terrible howl and rushed towards Mu Lan.
The nerves tensed, and the black mist seemed to condense into an entity and crashed into Mu Lan's front, and the moment it touched the shield, a sharp wail filled the entire room, and the black mist began to dissipate, and it all disappeared when Shi Zhengyang broke into the room.
"What's wrong?" Shi Zhengyang happened to see the last black fog and hurriedly asked Mu Lan.
Mu Lan looked around, all the black fog disappeared, and everything returned to normal, but the coldness in the room did not diminish at all, and the resentment brought by the ghost still hovered in the room, making people shudder.
"Something appeared behind me just now and wanted to attack me." Mu Lan said.
"Ghosts?" Lin Yiyi also walked into the room and asked curiously.
"It's supposed to be that kind of thing, but it's gone." Mu Lan nodded, and said, "What did you find in the other rooms?" ”
"There are replicas of bronze and lacquerware." Zhao Ziyu held a square box with red paint on a black background in his hand, and played with interest, "This thing looks fake, if it's real, he doesn't have to live in this kind of place." ”
"Professor Chen has a lot of books at home." Lin Yiyi said, "There are books everywhere, I thought I was in the library." ”
At this time, Shi Zhengyang said with a puzzled look: "I found some strange things in the other bedroom, you can take a look." ”
The other bedroom was more like a study, with some archaeological tools with soil stacked in cardboard boxes on the ground, with shovels and brushes, and four rows of bookshelves stacked in the center of the room.
Mu Lan opened the box, and inside was a jade knife carved with a hundred beasts, the whole body was white and delicate, and the length of the jade knife was about 12 centimeters, more like a small dagger.
Lin Yiyi slapped Zhao Ziyu with her elbow, "Young Master, you have seen the world the most here, and you will identify whether it is true or not." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Ziyu took the jade knife in Mu Lan's hand, and carefully observed the light, this jade knife was translucent when it was passed through by the light, he weighed it again, and was surprised: "It must be real jade, and it is a fine mutton fat white jade." ”
"It seems that the old man still has a bit of a family background." Lin Yiyi said.
It was normal for a lot of things to appear in Professor Chen's house here, Mu Lan looked around and felt that there was nothing worth studying, so she continued to go back to the previous bedroom to read Professor Chen's articles.
The four of them stayed at Professor Chen's house for more than an hour, but he didn't return for a long time, Shi Zhengyang couldn't help but be a little anxious, glanced at the time from time to time, and said: "It seems that he won't come back for a while and a half, let's go to the next archaeological team's house." ”
Now the top priority is to find the clue to open the main quest, it is really inappropriate to spend time here Professor Chen, Mu Lan nodded, Lin Yiyi and Zhao Ziyu also had no opinion, and the four of them left the house, and when they left, Lin Yiyi also thoughtfully found a piece of cardboard to jam the door that had no door lock.
When they came to the street, the four of them stopped a taxi, and the second target was Professor Liang's house, his address was in the wealthy area on the outskirts of the city, it was a single-family two-story villa, and after driving for about two hours, Mu Lan felt that the atmosphere was not right as soon as he got out of the car.
Three police cars were parked outside the villa, and the police erected a fence, and a group of people gathered outside and didn't know what to say.
Shi Zhengyang squeezed into the crowd, ready to inquire about what was going on, Mu Lan saw doctors in white coats and masks coming in and out of Professor Liang's villa, some media reporters taking pictures outside the house, and several people who wanted to cross the isolation zone were stopped by the police.
Mu Lan took out her press card and hung it around her neck, squeezed into the crowd and wanted to get closer, but was stopped by the policeman with an unkind face.
"Photography is forbidden here, journalists, please come back."
Ignoring the police's obstruction, the two "colleagues" with press cards tried their best to squeeze inside, and at the same time, their hands were busy, and they kept pressing the SLR shutter, and the white light of the exposure light flashed back and forth.
"Comrade, is this the third case of the death of an archaeological team?"
"Comrade police ......"
"Headlines, headlines!"
The reporters were as excited as a school of sharks smelling blood, and the scene was a little out of control, and a large number of police officers immediately rushed over to block these emotional reporters.
Seeing that Mu Lan had no way to enter the scene of the crime and could only join his teammates, Shi Zhengyang sighed and said, "It seems that we are late, Professor Liang should be dead." ”
Mu Lan took out the mobile phone in her handbag, opened the browser to check the local news, and immediately saw the relevant reports.
"The mysterious death of a famous professor is the third deceased of the Pinglongshan archaeological team."
"Death curse! The mysterious ancient Shu civilization, what kind of secret treasures are buried underground. ”
Clicking on the news, most of them are descriptions of chasing after the wind and shadows, with no nutritional value, and I don't know how long these news can exist, Mu Lan thought about it and became interested in Professor Liang's life, so she searched for the name Liang Huaiwen again.
The search engine in this world has an entry for Liang Huaiwen, who is actually a well-known figure in the academic world, who has published best-selling historical books, and his research direction is the same as that of Professor Chen, which is also a pre-Shang civilization.
"It's like a curse!" Shi Zhengyang looked at the news on Mu Lan's mobile phone and said: "All the people who have gone down to the tomb have been cursed, and now there are three dead and one missing, and if we were not the chosen ones, we are different from ordinary people, I am afraid we would have died a long time ago." ”
"Now there are two people left, archaeological team members Yu Bin and Wang Chuan." Mu Lan frowned, only feeling that time was pressing, these two ordinary people would be killed by ghosts at any time, and immediately said, "We have to go to the archaeological institute quickly!" ”
The four of them quickly left the scene of the murder and stopped a taxi, the time is now eight o'clock in the evening, if you want to understand the clues, you must rush to the destination in a race against time, Shi Zhengyang anxiously urged the driver, and even wanted to drive directly by himself.
After being persuaded by Mu Lan, Shi Zhengyang leaned back into the passenger seat, looked at the three people in the back seat crowded in a row and said, "It's a pity that we can't exchange more convenient transportation methods." ”
Mu Lan knew what Shi Zhengyang meant, there were many vehicles to choose from in the main god system, but in the case of this copy, they obviously couldn't take something that took off directly, which would cause unnecessary trouble to the next mission, what he said should be that kind of magic teleportation array, which can achieve the effect of spatial movement, and it is also very hidden to use, but the evolution points are ridiculously expensive, and they are not as solid as a rock to the point of being so wealthy.
Three hours later, they arrived at the destination, the Institute of Archaeology is located in the branch area of Southwest University, as soon as they got off the bus, Mu Lan pulled a few students to ask for directions, and then the four of them trotted to the dormitory where the two archaeological team members lived.
It was already dark, there were no stars tonight, and it was pitch black in the dormitory building, only one room on the second floor was lit up, which was particularly conspicuous.
Mu Lan knew that such a thing had happened, and the Institute of Archaeology had all gone on vacation, only Wang Chuan and Yu Bin and a few employees on duty remained here, and the room on the second floor was probably the dormitory for the two of them.
As soon as he entered the dormitory building, he felt the familiar chill, cold and full of resentment, Mu Lan became vigilant and released the spell [Sal's Shield], and the wind element in his hand condensed into shape.
"Ahh
A terrible and fearful cry sounded, echoing in the empty dormitory building, Mu Lan glanced at Shi Zhengyang, felt bad, and immediately ran to the second floor.
