Sang Xiaoge felt that he needed to talk.

The man who brought her into this world, who once took care of herself, and suddenly disappeared unreasonably in her life, is called "father".

She called Wang Fuyi first, and it was turned off.

Turning on the flight mode when there is surgery is Wang Fujia's routine. So Sang Xiaoge is not surprised. She thought about it for a moment and called Yuri's number again.

Then, Sang Xiaoge was a complaint, from childhood to adulthood, from the reason why she came to Rubik's Cube City, to all kinds of disappointment and despair in the past five years.

She didn't cry, she didn't break down, she just spat out a little sadly. I don't know how long she spoke, but as she spoke, Mr. Lan and Lawyer Yao looked at her quietly, barely changing their posture. Maybe she made this call for half an hour? Or fifty minutes? Whatever, Sang Xiaoge kept talking, and at the same time walked back and forth in the house like a little beast trapped in a cage. Until, Yuri answered the phone and walked in.

Sang Xiaoge lowered his hand holding the phone. Yuri walked over and hugged her.

"I don't know what to do now."

Sang Xiaoge's body stiffened and let Yu Li hold him, and said in a flat tone.

"Let's go see the house."

Yuri said. She knew that she needed to ask Sang Xiaoge to do something now, otherwise she might be destroyed by this sudden and irrepressible emotion.

"House? Oh well, let's go check it out. Look at where he used to live and see what he left me to account. ”

You Li drove Wang Fuyi's car, and Sang Xiaoge sat in the co-pilot. In the back seat were Xiao Dezi and that lawyer Yao. As for Mr. Lan, he followed him downstairs, climbed into the car by himself, and jumped on Sang Xiaoge's knee.

No. 13 Tianlu.

In the navigation, you can find Nai Ho Tianlu, which is about 40 minutes away from the city. At the end of the road is a factory that has been abandoned for at least twenty years, flanked by two rows of concrete bungalows, presumably built during the factory's operation. As the factory ceased production and abandoned, these houses were closed one after another.

However, although the houses are unoccupied, there is a very conspicuous sign at the door of each house, which can be seen from the first house on the road, the walls are painted in a circle with white paint, and inside are the words "No. 1 Nai He Tianlu".

There are on the walls next to the doors of every house. Despite the erosion of time, the handwriting is still not difficult to lege. So, everyone thought it would be easy to find your destination.

Yuri drove the car very slowly, and then looked at the house numbers:

"No. 9 Nai Ho Tian Lu", "No. 10 Nai Ho Tian Lu", "No. 11 Nai Ho Tian Lu", "No. 12 Nai Ho Tian Lu", "No. 14 Nai Ho Tian Lu" ......

“？”

Yuri slammed the brakes, then reversed to look back.

"No. 15 Nai He Tianlu", "No. 14 Nai He Tian Lu", "No. 12 Nai He Tian Lu"......

There is no address called "No. 13 Nai Ho Tianlu".

There is no number 13 on this road.

"Hey, this uncle...... Oh, Lawyer Yao, don't you know where the 'No. 13 Nai He Tianlu' left to her by her father is? ”

Yu Li turned her head to look at the old man who had been silent and asked.

"To tell you the truth, this is my first time in Rubik's Cube City. Mr. Sang was also very unclear back then. So ......"

Lawyer Yao smiled wryly and made a gesture of impotence.

"Meow~"

Mr. Lan straightened up from Sang Xiaoge's lap and screamed. Of course, this is just a cat meow heard in other people's ears.

Sang Xiaoge blinked, stretched out his hand and pointed to the old factory area at the end of the road in the distance and said, "Drive over and have a look." ”

Even if I drove the car to the factory, I still couldn't tell that this was a factory that produced anything.

It seems that after the factory was shut down, all traces were carefully and completely erased. There was only one closed gate, welded with one kind of wrought iron railing, bound in the middle by an iron chain, to which a large black lock hung from it.

In addition to the sandalwood cube, Lawyer Yao brought to Sang Xiaoge, there was also a cloth bag, and inside the cloth bag was a brass ring with three keys hanging from the circle.

Sang Xiaoge took out the key, got out of the car, and walked to the iron gate.

Reaching out and grabbing the lock from the chain, he wiped the dust on the surface of the lock, and could distinguish the embossed handwriting on the lock body.

"No. 13 Nai He Tianlu".

……

"Grab the keys and try it." Yuli, who followed Sang Xiaoge, hugged Mr. Lan and came over and said.

The three keys are large, medium and small. Sang Xiaoge looked at the keyhole, inserted the smallest key into it, and then twisted it-

With a "click", the lock popped open.

"It's really here!"

Yuri rejoiced.

Facing the gate is a three-story gray building. There is a distance of about 30 meters between the building and the door, and a stone path is connected in the middle, and a little further on each side is planted with a locust tree. Between the locust tree and the road, there is a large field of wild grass.

"There are two trees in the yard, one is a locust tree and the other is also a locust tree." Yuri said as she put Mr. Lan on the ground and looked around.

At this time, lawyer Yao slowly walked out of the car. He didn't know when, so he took out a telescopic cane and said as he walked: "Forgive me for being old, you can go first, and I will follow slowly."

Feeling like she was in a dream at this time, she walked along the gravel path to the three-story building, and found that the door on the first floor was unlocked.

Stretching out his hand to push it away, the dust that had obviously been deposited for many years flew up, Sang Xiaoge took a few steps back, and waited for the dust to gradually fall before entering the building.

This floor is a great size and has a lot of rooms.

"Maybe it's time for you to take a look at that map."

Mr. Lan, who was standing at Sang Xiaoge's feet, said.

Sang Xiaoge hurriedly took out the silk map from his pocket, held it in his hand, looked at it carefully, and probably confirmed the location of this building on the map, but it did not match. Because, next to this building on the map, there are vertical and horizontal streets, as well as complex buildings. But in reality, it is very desolate, and there is only one road to the factory.

However, there is indeed such a building on the map, enter through the main entrance of the building, draw two dotted lines, bypass the stairs in front, and go out from behind the stairs, there should be another building. And that building is marked on the map.

Sang Xiaoge didn't hesitate anymore, he walked forward directly, bypassed the stairs, and sure enough, he found that there was a back door in this building, and when he went out of the back door, it was a closed corridor. At the end of the hallway is a separate bungalow. However, the bungalow looks like only a few square meters in size, so it looks like a bunker, concrete structure, and no windows. There was only an iron door facing the hallway.

In the center of the iron gate, there is a metal sculpture in the shape of a flower. Sang Xiaoge vaguely remembered that he should have seen this sculpture when he was a child.

"I seem to remember this."

Sang Xiaoge said, his left hand stretched out, his index finger pressed on the stem and root of the leaf, his middle finger and thumb, pressed the left and right leaves respectively, and then forced-

"Click......

With a metallic grinding sound, the sculpture of the leaf parted left and right, revealing a keyhole hidden behind the leaf.

Sang Xiaoge took out the largest key and inserted it into the keyhole. Then it took three turns.

There was a mechanical sound of gears turning from inside the door, and the metal door in front of it automatically separated left and right.

Inside the door, there is a passage downward.

The staircase made of non-slip iron plates, after descending a few meters, turns around, continues to descend, and then to the end, the feet are the touch of the concrete floor.

I found a switch with my phone's lighting tool, pressed it, and the light came on.

It is a space of about 200 square meters.

This includes a study, a kitchen, a work area, and a sports area.

Half of the study and work area is the area.

Rows of bookshelves are filled with all kinds of books, and there are many books with leather covers. Sang Xiaoge casually took down a copy and found that it was densely packed with handwritten text, and some pages were illustrated.

"Oh my God!"

Yuli, who followed the second one, looked around the space here, with a look of shock and excitement: "Xiaoge, your dad must be a hidden big man, right?" He is...... Spy? No, it's a killer? Uh-huh, it shouldn't be, hey! Could your dad be a superhero? Just Superman, who is an ordinary person during the day, and acts chivalrous at night to defend the earth? ”

Yu Li looked around, her brain kept working, and she also followed Sang Xiaoge's movements to take down a book with a leather cover from the bookshelf, and looked at the contents inside: "Is this all written by your father?" OMG......"

"There are not thousands of such records here, but also 800 copies, judging from the level of detail of the records, not to mention one person, even ten people, who spend their lives in their lives, can't remember so much content."

Sang Xiaoge seemed to answer Yuli, and it was also like explaining to himself. At this time, Mr. Lan's fat body slowly jumped to the bend of the stairs with a "fluttering and fluttering" step, and let out a scream.

"Meow~Meow......"

"The space here radiates around with that table as the core. So you should check that table first. ”

Sang Xiaoge heard this sentence in his ears.

Yuri picked Mr. Lan down the stairs with some apologies. At the end was Lawyer Yao, who was on a cane.

Sang Xiaoge walked over to the big table.

On the table, there are all kinds of books, record books, and various maps, which are marked with markers of different colors. In one corner there is an eight-inch frame, and in the frame is a photo of a father and daughter on Sang Xiaoge's sixth birthday.

Sang Xiaoge picked up the photo frame, blew off the dust on the glass, looked at the childish self in the picture, and the personable man, his chest rose and fell, and the old things were like lightning, one by one into the memory.

Mr. Blue jumped out of Yuli's arms and onto the table. It jumped a few times over the stack of books, reached the middle of the desk, stretched out its claws, and pulled open two maps, revealing a black wooden box underneath.

"I guess this is a message your dad left for you."

Mr. Lan said.

Sang Xiaoge put down the frame, walked over and picked up the box, feeling a little familiar.

"Huh? This is very similar to the mailbox in front of your store. Yuri leaned over and said curiously.

Sang Xiaoge naturally saw it a long time ago. With some hesitation, she flipped the small switch in the middle of the box. That position is a round button, pinch that button and turn it, and the mailbox can be opened.

As a result, when Sang Xiaoge's thumb and index finger pinched the button and forced, two shallow but extremely sharp blades suddenly appeared in the button, and instantly cut two small bloody cuts on Sang Xiaoge's fingers.

Then, Sang Xiaoge felt that the round button seemed to have a mouth, sucking the blood from his wound vigorously!

She snorted, her fingers quickly retracting.

The knob suddenly turned red, and then the whole black box emitted a light from inside.

Then, the lid under the round button "snapped" and popped open.

Inside the box, there was a black letter.
