The corridors are decorated with references to the West, and are covered with ornaments that represent historical charm, from the skulls of beasts to the knights' armor from the Middle Ages hundreds of years ago.

For Professor Sima, who loves history, it is like shuttling through a century corridor, which makes him particularly enjoy this feeling.

After entering the living room, Lin Haotian led Professor Sima, and the two sat down one after another, and then Lin Haotian gently raised his palm and motioned for Professor Sima to taste the drink in front of him.

It was just before they came in, and from the breath, Professor Sima could tell very clearly, this was his favorite, and he had drunk black tea for decades.

Of course, the cup in front of me is by no means the same level as what I usually drink, whether it is from the color of the teacup or the rich and sweet smell that slowly dissipates in the air.

At this moment, Professor Sima also seemed to envy the benefits of being rich and powerful, after all, for these people, nothing that is not the end of the world will not prevent them from enjoying the most luxurious things at the moment.

You must know that in today's last days, although each Underworld Fort has a large geographical area and is enough to accommodate a population of more than 30 million, it can be said that there are people of all colors, but the emphasis is different.

Naturally, the dietary habits of these people should also be satisfied as much as possible, which will consume a lot of cultivation space in the Underworld Castle, and the production of items of various enjoyment levels will be relatively scarce, and tea is one of the items that is defined as luxury.

Don't look at Professor Sima, who often drinks black tea, but he drinks more tea powder, or that kind of relatively ordinary goods, and the cup in front of him is orthodox black tea and tea, the difference between the two is absolutely incomparable.

With a slight tremor in his palm, he lifted the teacup, and the last time he drank black tea was more than 20 years ago, when he was just promoted to a professor in the Department of History, and the dean tasted it once when he received him.

Even after such a long time, the mellow fragrance that bloomed in the taste buds seemed to be the memory of the previous moment, and gently shook off the thoughts in his mind, Professor Sima cautiously pecked shallowly, and in an instant, an expression of enjoyment appeared on his face.

This is a enjoyment that people who don't understand tea can never understand, although Lin Haotian doesn't understand it either, it doesn't hinder his acting skills.

Immediately, after he also took a sip, he naturally put down the teacup, and said with a light smile on the corner of his mouth: "I don't know if it will offend, but in order to better entertain Professor Sima, I have also done some research on your preferences!" ”

Suddenly hearing Lin Haotian's words, Professor Sima woke up from the feeling of enjoyment, and then realized that he was a guest at the home of a rich and powerful person, and hurriedly coughed lightly, and put the teacup back in his hand while showing a polite smile.

"Mr. Lin is really polite, I don't think this is offended, compared to many people who receive friends and don't even understand the preferences of friends, your obviously aristocratic character tutor brings out your extraordinary and politeness!"

Nodding slightly, Lin Haotian pursed his lips and smiled lightly: "Professor Sima likes it, I have always been very looking forward to your visit!" ”

Almost as Lin Haotian's words fell, an attendant walked quickly to his side, and after a few words in his ear, he got up and stood on the side.

As for Lin Haotian, he smiled at Professor Sima and said, "Just now, the relics of the ancient ancestors in my collection were officially prepared, why don't we go and see them now?" ”

Immediately, Lin Haotian took the lead in standing up, although he asked politely in words, but his behavior reflected domineering, and he didn't even intend to give Professor Sima room to refuse.

Seeing that the master had already gotten up, Professor Sima regretfully skimmed the black tea in front of him, he had just taken a small sip, but it was equivalent to holding his lips and dipping the tip of his tongue.

Although he felt sorry and wasteful, out of politeness, Professor Sima had to stand up with him, followed Lin Haotian's steps, and walked towards another corridor in the living room.

After walking for nearly ten minutes, just as Professor Sima sighed in his heart about the enormity of the retro manor, he and Lin Haotian also came to their destination.

It was a pitch-black metal automatic door, with no retro hooks on it except for the center console on the side of the wall, which made Professor Sima feel a little strange and incongruous.

With a slight brush of the watch he was carrying, the operation panel on the center console slowly rose, and then Lin Haotian put his thumb in.

With a short 'tick' sound, a green light lit up on the center console, and at the same time, a little scarlet oozed from Lin Haotian's thumb.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Professor Sima was slightly surprised by the security measures in front of him, after all, in addition to the conventional identification, he originally thought that Lin Haotian was just an extra layer of verification fingerprints, but he didn't expect that it was DNA collection and verification.

This was the first time he had seen this level of protective measures, and it was not that he had never been to a wealthy family than Lin Haotian before, but those people's collection of ancient ancestors' relics was not as exaggerated as Lin Haotian.

At this moment, Professor Sima suddenly noticed a trace of strangeness, although it is said that the relics of the ancient ancestor civilization are traded as works of art in the market, the size of a palm of the hand, as long as it has the words of the ancestors, at least hundreds of thousands of points.

But even if Lin Haotian has more collections, where can he go more? Do you need to be so cautious?

Countless questions surfaced in Professor Sima's heart, if it weren't for the relics of the ancestors' civilization that always hooked his heart, he wouldn't want to follow Lin Haotian into the black metal door in front of him.

After all, as an Oriental scholar, Professor Sima understands very well the meaning of 'a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall', although Lin Haotian showed full respect and courtesy to himself.

But since he came into contact with Lin Haotian, there are a lot of mysterious places on this person, and he is also a person who has lived for decades, and Professor Sima still has this subconscious of the crisis.

However, just as he was about to say something, the black metal door slowly opened, and then Lin Haotian turned around and showed a smile and walked in first.

Seeing that there was only an elevator behind the gate in front of him, Professor Sima's heart relaxed slightly, but at the same time, he was even more curious, because he never knew that the hyped retro manor had underground facilities.

With his dedication to the relics of ancient ancestors' civilization and his curiosity about Lin Haotian, Professor Sima only hesitated for a moment, and then strode in.

Then the black metal door closed, and the elevator began to sink, but Lin Haotian always kept smiling and didn't say anything to Professor Sima, and after the elevator sank for more than ten seconds, the elevator door reopened.

What appeared in front of Professor Sima was a completely metalized aisle, with an extremely strong technological style, which was completely different from the retro manor above.

What's more, on either side of the elevator door, there is a guard in charge of security, both of whom are shrouded in black mechanical armor, wearing masks equipped with breathing valves on their faces, and standing on both sides like statues with their hands behind their waists.

There are a lot of equipment pinned to his waist that look like obvious weapons, but these things are completely incomprehensible to a professor who is engaged in historical research, but they do not prevent Professor Sima from assessing the danger.

At this moment, he swallowed his saliva in embarrassment, almost opening his mouth to leave, but he didn't know how to say it.

Suddenly, Lin Haotian's original face, which had always had a smile on his face, disappeared and was replaced by an expressionless face, and then he raised his eyebrows slightly towards Professor Sima.

Seeing Lin Haotian's face at this moment, Professor Sima nervously stepped back a little, but it wasn't until he leaned his back against the elevator wall that he thought that he couldn't retreat at this moment!

Fortunately, Lin Haotian seemed to just want to make a joke, and after seeing Professor Sima's somewhat frightened look, a light smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again: "Professor Sima, you are really too nervous, what?" Did I shock you about the security of the relics of the ancient ancestors? ”

Hearing Lin Haotian's words, Professor Sima smiled back awkwardly and nodded slightly, but said nothing.

From his face, Lin Haotian saw a trace of panic and fear, as if he was very satisfied with Professor Sima's expression, Lin Haotian nodded slightly, took the lead in walking towards the aisle, and said softly: "It's almost here, since you're here, if you don't look at the collection I said, will Professor Sima bear it?" I can assure you that my collection is unique in the world! ”

As Lin Haotian's voice fell, he took the initiative to walk into the metal aisle, and Professor Sima also took the initiative to follow after a few seconds of hesitation.

Looking cautiously at the back of Lin Haotian who was walking in front, Professor Sima swallowed his saliva slightly, and then looked back at the guard at the elevator door.

However, it was good that he didn't look back, and the moment he turned around, Professor Sima's heart almost jumped out, because at this moment, there was a sign printed on the side of the guard's shoulder armor, which was the palm of a human skeleton, with the palm facing up, holding a bright red heart.

Perhaps ordinary people will only think that this symbol is more unusual even if they see it, but Professor Sima is different, he was fortunate enough to know what this symbol represents, that is, the biggest political enemy of the current Tario Council, an extremist organization that has always maintained its mystery, the Abyss Council.

At this moment, Professor Sima finally connected everything together, and seemed to understand why Lin Haotian attached so much importance to security, and at the same time, the background was mysterious.

Because behind him is not the rich and powerful family of the No. 4 Underworld Fortress at all, but a huge organization that can subvert the current relatively peaceful regime!

After thinking about all this, Professor Sima suddenly felt that his heart was not so flustered, although he had figured out the identity of the other party, it was obvious that he had fallen into a very troublesome whirlpool.

But for the fear brought by the unknown, Professor Sima is more willing to know this cruel reality, at least in terms of Lin Haotian's courtesy to himself, he, no, to be exact, should be the Abyss Council still needs the knowledge in his head!

After figuring this out, Professor Sima took a deep breath, and although there was still a hint of caution on his face, it was much better than before.

At this moment, Lin Haotian also stopped in front, then turned to look at Professor Sima, of course, when he saw that his face had regained his composure, he suddenly smiled with satisfaction: "It seems that Professor Sima already knows my background?" But I didn't intend to hide it from you, otherwise how could I make such a low-level mistake and let the guards representing the Abyss Council stand guard at the elevator entrance? ”

Hearing Lin Haotian's words, Professor Sima suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, then nodded and said, "Indeed, it seems that my dedication to the civilization of the ancient ancestors has brought me into a dangerous situation, but ...... In the past, it was a collection of art by the rich and powerful on the market, and its real value for study was minimal! ”

As he said this, Professor Sima paused slightly, and then continued with his eyes narrowed slightly at Lin Haotian: "But the Abyss Council is a huge organization, I don't think this collection will disappoint me, right?" ”

Smiling slightly, Lin Haotian nodded and said, "This is the first time I really appreciate you!" You can rest assured that this collection is definitely not to be missed in your life, and you will never even see a second piece of it! ”

With Lin Haotian's words, a metal door in front of him slowly opened automatically, first a bright light shone on his body through the gap, but then, a stunned expression also appeared on Professor Sima's face.
