"I asked you to pick a time, but I didn't let you choose tonight!" Gong Chen stood in the cold wind, holding a large suitcase in his hand and said, "Don't let people rest?" ”

"You said you could do it at any time, if I heard me right." Father Ann said with a smile.

"Here," Xie Baozhen stood on tiptoe and tied the scarf he had just knitted a day to Gong Chen's neck, "That's all right." ”

"Hmm... Okay," Gong Chen stretched out a hand and touched the warm scarf and said, "You are really good at being people, I surrender." ”

"Stop talking nonsense, can we go into the house?" Yu Siqi felt that his eyelashes were full of white frost, and shouted impatiently: "Aren't you all screaming cold?" ”

"Wait a little longer, the keyhole is blocked by something." Shi Yizhe leaned over and looked into the keyhole and said, "Probably to prevent outsiders from entering." ”

"It's not scientific, when our people withdrew a few days ago, the keyhole was still fine." Gong Chen carried the suitcase to the door, and also leaned in to look at it and said, "Could it be a prank by a bear child?" ”

"That's quite a coincidence," said Fr. Ann, "and I personally prefer that the owner of the house came back and did something to it. ”

"No way, although the people on the periphery have been withdrawn, we still have set up an alarm." Gong Chen shook his head and said, "It seems that this thing is blocked by something, and it is unlikely that we will enter it in a normal way." ”

"Let me come," Xie Baozhen said, taking out the small round ball from her bag, "stand far away." ”

The white ball rose from her palm and began to spin, and as it spun faster and faster, things around the gate began to blur. Yu Siqi, who was standing on the side, even had a strange illusion that the space around him was being distorted.

As the white ball gradually fell back into Zhen's hands, the door that was supposed to be in front of them was gone, and only a bare door frame remained, telling them what once existed.

"Good fellow, is this the World Stone?" Gong Chen's eyes lit up and asked, "Who are you from Jiang Chenghao?" ”

"He's my great-grandfather," Xie Baozhen carefully put the stone back into his pocket, and said calmly, "Please, everyone." ”

"But didn't the Great Purge make your great-grandfather hand over the World Stone? Why do you still have this kind of thing there, I think this thing has been destroyed? Gong Chen muttered to himself.

"This is what my grandmother made herself based on my great-grandfather's diary, and it is completely different from the stone that was confiscated by you, this stone is our Xie family's own." Xie Baozhen clutched his waist and said: "If you want me to be obedient, just show your skills, I won't be like Jiang Chenghao." ”

"What are you talking about, it was many years ago, even if the agency knew that you still had stones here, it was probably the same thing." Gong Chen said nonchalantly: "What's more, I don't have the leisure to make a small report." ”

"I said, don't you really want to come in?" Yu Siqi stood in the foyer and shouted, "By the way, the priest asked me to send you a message, remember to bring your suitcase." ”

"Got it, why did I accompany you on this trip? Why should I be held with this suitcase? Why am I so unliked? God, what about happiness? Gong Chen followed Yu Siqi towards the inner room with the box, and Xie Baozhen stared at Gong Chen with a wary face.

"Happiness is earned by oneself," said Father Ann's voice in the front, "not by prayer alone. ”

"You have a lot to do, Father, you have asked me to bring so many things, you must give me a reasonable explanation." Gong Chen sat on the suitcase and said, "But I'm tired, this thing is really heavy." ”

"Of course it's full of stuff," Schyitzer said briefly, "I'll go and turn on the lights." ”

With a click, the originally gray living room instantly lit up again. However, it is different from the last time Yu Siqi came, and now the whole house looks extremely empty and desolate, and many of the homes that should stay in their places are gone.

It was as if the whole house had been deliberately emptied.

"I didn't know you still have a penchant for robbery," said Father Ann, looking at the bare walls, "but it's a pity that there is such a good painting on the wall." ”

"Hmm... This is an order from above, and we don't want to either. Gong Chen's cheeks flushed slightly and said, "Who made this family all illusion masters?" Who knows if their chair is a chair or not? ”

"You can't even let go of the vase!" Yu Siqi noticed that the vase that had been placed in the corner before was missing and said, "You guys are naked bandits, so how can we investigate the clues!" ”

"It's... I didn't cause it, so why are you angry at me! Gong Chen said with an aggrieved face: "I've been angry with you a lot lately, do you treat me as a friend!" I am so kind to help, I don't ask for anything in return, but it's not too much to ask for a little gratitude, right? ”

"I'm sorry, but we were too emotional and lost our minds." Father Ann bowed slightly, and then muttered the word 'sanity' to himself.

"Alright, forget it, you guys hurry up and start, I'll take a break." Gong Chen quickly returned to his usual smiling face, and sat idly on the box in a daze.

"Xiao An, where do we start." Shi Yizhe asked.

"Ah Zhe, you go to the first floor and remember to pay more attention to the difference between the wall and the gap. If you find any road leading to the following, remember to let us know. Father Ann said.

"I'll go now," Schiger turned on a flashlight and walked towards the dark kitchen.

"Ah Zhen, you go to the second floor and rummage through all the rooms, pay attention to see if there are any secret doors and secret rooms and other places, pay attention to the candlesticks and handles." As Shi Yizhe's footsteps disappeared into the kitchen, Father Ann took out the green book from his bosom and said.

"Okay, no problem," Xie Baozhen didn't forget to make a grimace to Gong Chen before leaving, and the latter also returned a strange face.

"Well, what about us, Father?" Yu Siqi asked as he pulled his gaze back from the empty living room.

"We? Before we act, I want to hear from you. Father An looked at Yu Siqi with a serious face and asked, "Is there anything you haven't told me about this room?" ”

"What? No, I don't have reservations! Yu Siqi was so stunned by the sudden projection of his gaze that he didn't dare to look at each other.

"Really, I believe you forgot for unintentional reasons, right?" Father Ann smiled and said, "Otherwise, why did you keep holding your pockets when we went back that night?" ”

"You found out all this?" Yu Siqi asked in surprise: "I thought I was hiding deeply, I just... Momentary greed... Hey, isn't that thing gone! ”

"What's that?" Gong Chen, who was pretending to doze off, moved his eyelids exaggeratedly, stretched his waist and asked.

"A silver coin, now that I think about it—it seems to have some Rami symbol engraved on it." Yu Siqi said: "I found it in a bedroom on the top floor. ”

"Can you take us around that bedroom?" Fr. Ann asked.

"Of course, why not?" Yu Siqi said: "However, I don't remember exactly which room it was, I only know that there is a silver nameplate on it—wait, it seems to have a sentence written on it in Lameniani script, I couldn't read it at the time, and now... Let me recall, it should be - like a paradise of vanity. ”

"It seems that I have made the right decision to let you learn Lamenianis," said Father An approvingly, "Gong Chen, bring the box, we are going to start work." ”

"Don't you wait for them?" Gong Chen stood up and asked.

"No, it's not too late to inform them when we find a place." Father An stepped up the stairs and said to Gong Chen, "Didn't you people understand that passage? ”

"What if you understand it, it's useless... Everything in the room has been removed, and all the books on the shelves are piled up in Arwen's office! Gong Chen lifted the box and slowly walked up the stairs and said, "That kid has been busy with things lately, how can he have the time to analyze these little things." The Shangyuan area dug up a bunch of ancient scrolls of Ramersiani for him to translate, but fortunately I don't understand Lamersiani. ”

"Are you talking about the renovation of the old city some time ago?" Fr. Ann asked with a little interest.

"Hey, under the banner of the renovation of the old city, is there actually less archaeological matter?" Gong Chen panted and carried the box to the second floor and said, "I said, can't you two idlers take a hand?" ”

"I'm sorry, I don't have the strength you have, I can't lift this thing." Yu Siqi said: "I tried it before I went out, just when you went to the bathroom. ”

"Oh... So when I didn't say, how many floors are there? Gong Chen's footsteps sank, and he lifted the box up the stairs and said, "It's all about exercising, maybe Xiaofang can praise my muscles when he comes back!" ”

"Personally, I prefer her to come back to the hospital to see that you are getting an injection, and she usually does not exercise, and excessive exercise at once is likely to be counterproductive." Yu Siqi said seriously: "I noticed it when I watched the news on the Internet before. ”

"Hey, dude, can't you just say something nice?" Gong Chen's whole face was flushed and said: "This is really an old saying - there is no light burden on a long road." ”

"Ah, I found it." Father Ann's voice came from above.

The familiar nameplate and familiar font made Yu Siqi feel the urge to revisit the old place, and the sweaty Gong Chen lay on the box and breathed oxygen, as if he had just finished a marathon.

The new scarf Xie Baozhen gave him had been used by him as a towel to wipe his sweat, wiping the sweat on his body.

"If Ah Zhen sees you ruining her hard work like this, I feel like she's going to lose her temper again." Yu Siqi teased.

"Hey, come on... You don't look at how heavy this thing is, how tired I am from lifting. Gong Chen twisted the scarf, and some sweat dripped onto the floor and said, "Look, it's all squeezed out." I'm drenched right now, and I'm going to catch a cold when I go back, and I'm going to have a fever if I don't do it, and it's scary to think about. ”

"Would that allow you to come in and have a look while your head is still clear?" Fr. Ann pushed open the door and said, "Of course, if you don't want to exercise more, I can understand that. ”

"It's all on this, why do I have to accompany you on a journey, don't you?" Gong Chen gritted his teeth and dragged the box into the house, and Yu Siqi followed behind and closed the door.
