This is a call from Meng Hui, it should be something important, and the tone is more urgent.

Lin Xu explained honestly to the call hole: "He went shopping with Wen Jia, and he may not come back until the evening." If you want to be convenient...... Just tell me that when he comes back, I'll pass it on to him. Or you call his cell phone......"

Meng Hui sneered: "If his mobile phone can be called, I won't call this number." ”

Lin Xu frowned: "Is something wrong?" ”

Meng Hui was silent for a while before saying, "Ten minutes later, you ask the housekeeper to open the door, I'm almost there." Then the phone was hung up.

Lin Xu was inexplicable for a while, and slowly put down the earpiece; About ten minutes later, Meng Hui really came; At the prompting of the car horn, the housekeeper personally went out to greet him and then introduced him into the house.

Wait for a plate of fruit and a few plates of snacks and a pot of tea on the tea table in the living room; The people in this villa consciously retreated, and for a while, only Meng Hui and Lin Xu were left in the huge living room.

Meng Hui couldn't help seeing the round kumquat in the fruit bowl, and after staring at it for a while, he picked the kumquat with the roundest color and the best color and gently pinched it on his fingertips and played with it, seeing that Lin Xu had an impulse to save the entire fruit bowl.

Lin Xu coughed dryly and didn't know where to speak, but at this moment, Meng Hui suddenly looked at him with a smile: "There are a few things, I was originally looking for Luo, but it also has something to do with you." I don't have that much time to wait for the eldest young master, just tell him what I said in a moment. ”

Lin Xu sat upright with his hands on his knees and nodded: "Okay." ”

Meng Hui: "What, nervous?" ”

Lin Xu: "No, no! ”

Meng Hui stuffed a piece of fruit into his mouth with a fruit stick: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in a stunted adult child like you, and I won't leak secrets on Ouyang Luo's side." Normally, I'm trustworthy. ”

Lin Xu breathed a sigh of relief: "Then, you came this time?" ”

Meng Hui leaned back and played with kumquat: "The first thing is about the improver." Have you decided? ”

Lin Xu's back shook when he heard this, and he recalled his previous nightmare again. Seeing his eyes, Meng Hui said, "Or do you still need a little time to think about?" Presumably, Ouyang Luo has already told you everything that should be said and what should not be said; I'm not against you stepping up slowly, as long as you feel like you still have time.

Also, I have some clues about the patterns you provided. ”

When Lin Xu heard this, he immediately came to his senses: "What clues?" ”

Meng Hui stretched out his chin and motioned to Lin Xu to pour him a cup of tea, Lin Xu obediently served it with both hands, Meng Hui took the tea and his expression was quite satisfied: "The previous group of experts only found clues related to the pattern and Egyptian civilization and broke it; The old man who was tied up this time explained a lot of things......"

Lin Xu's back kept all the time: "You, you tied someone back?!" ”

Meng Hui glanced at him: "Your tutor is very bad, don't interject when others are talking, this is the most basic courtesy!" ”

Lin Xu shut up, and all kinds of ominous speculations surged in his heart.

Meng Hui: "This old man was originally a staff member of the geological exploration team, and he had seen those patterns when he was young. According to his own words, it should have been during an exploration work five years ago, when they went to Huailong Township to investigate the field, they found that the nearby soil was abnormal and the rock formation was loose, and then began to look for typical samples, and as a result, they stumbled upon the subway station we encountered this time when sampling.

At that time, they were quite novel, for the same reason as us, the subway had not been developed for more than a hundred years so far, so the group of self-righteous professionals found the entrance.

But they were luckier than us, they didn't meet the cats, so they kept going down the tunnel to the top, and then they saw the car and some of the things in it. ”

Seeing Meng Hui suddenly hold up, Lin Xu raised his head and asked, "Is it that kind of pattern?"

Meng Hui took a sip of tea, and the kumquat was pinched by him and was a little deformed: "No, it's the octopus that has mutated."

Lin Xu: "What?!"

Meng Hui: "He said that he remembered that the thing was stuffed in the car at the time, and when he looked at it, he thought it was a white pillar and some white thick ropes, and he didn't know what it was.

Until they walked along the train, they might end up accidentally sparking the light somewhere to alarm the octopus.

I don't need to say it later, these people are here to do technology, and the few guards they brought with them are not easy to use, and the people they went down to the ground were all eaten by the monster, and none of them escaped.

The old man had an extra heart at that time, and when he saw that something was slightly wrong, he hid early to avoid difficulties. ”

Lin Xu frowned: "So he is still hiding there because someone asked him to stay there or because he feels that he can't leave?"

Meng Hui glanced at Lin Xu in some surprise, and then the corners of his mouth twitched: "To be honest, I kind of appreciate your brain."

Strictly speaking, there are two scenarios. Because he had escaped and told the rest of the people on the ground what had happened, they thought he was joking and went down again, but they didn't come up. Later, a person who was looking after the equipment on the ground realized the seriousness of the problem and sent out the rescue.

At that time, they were just an ordinary engineering team, and they did not carry professional equipment such as satellite phones. It was also God who deliberately tossed them, and the communication equipment at that time did not have such a good signal as it is now, so they didn't send anything.

In the end, the two had no choice but to discuss his colleague to go out to find rescue, and he kept a few days of supplies to guard the scene, and then the two of them used walkie-talkies to contact to determine the location.

However, his colleagues went and never returned, but a group of foreigners. This group of people was very purposeful and professional to check below, and it didn't take long for them to come out, and then they began to transport cats in large quantities, and those cats should be the group we saw. ”

Lin Xuqi said: "Although those cats are more spiritual than usual, they are also bigger and more fierce, but ...... They're so much different from that mutated octopus.

With what we saw below that day, they could contain the mutant octopus to some extent, but still have no chance of winning. ”

Meng Hui sighed: "Then in fact, we are thinking the same, or that group of cats is not used to deal with mutant octopuses, but to feed."

Lin Xu: "Who are those people?"

Meng Hui shook his head: "The old man said he didn't know. The whole thing looks like it's a half-breed. ”

Lin Xu: "Did these people let him stay there?"

Meng Hui: "Yes, that's them. And he said that the other party would talk to him routinely every once in a while, and as for the time, it was not fixed.

As for the pattern, he knew so much detail because it was also printed on the collars of those people. ”

Lin Xu was confused: "On the clothes?"

Meng Hui: "At first glance, it looks the same, but after dealing with those people a lot, he discovered some of the patterns."

Meng Hui patted Lin Xu on the shoulder: "Do you believe that what he said that day was all nonsense?"

The corners of Lin Xu's mouth twitched, and his heart said No, is it empty joy? But when he looked at Meng Hui's eyes, he understood that this person was selling Guanzi.

So Lin Xu pretended to be a curious baby: "So, what is it really?"

Meng Hui: "He doesn't know. But his words that day were also the conclusions he had drawn through the law for a long time. In fact, if you look closely, it is not difficult, according to him, the group of people has no name, only number. So over time, it is understandable that he corresponds each pattern to a certain number. ”

Lin Xu held his head, and his mood at the moment was that he wanted to cry and laugh...... What is this? Why does this kind of thing feel more and more inscrutable the more you investigate?!

Meng Hui took another sip of water: "By the way, I also took the time to see Xingguanglou recently. He mixed well in there, and gave me what he was hiding that day. ”

Lin Xu sighed: "What is it?"

Meng Hui was serious: "Two pieces of iron, one said that it was left by his daughter back then, and the other was secretly taken away by him in the case of the toddler falling from the building last time."

It's worth mentioning that there is a pattern on this iron piece that is similar to you and Luo! ”

As he spoke, Meng Hui took out a piece of paper from his wallet and pushed it in front of Lin Xu's eyes. The paper was printed with photos of various angles of the iron sheet, and Lin Xu was shocked for a while.
