At this time, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and a person came in from outside, who was the bespectacled leader just now. He was very personable, especially his voice was infectious, first encouraging the ten people present, and then said in a deep voice: "The next content is highly confidential, and I hope to abide by the requirements of the confidentiality code." I won't say much more, but I would like to ask Professor Chen to introduce the specific tasks. ”

There was another person outside the tent, probably in his thirties, who was not wearing cotton clothes on such a cold day, with a thin figure and sharp eyes, and he was not an ordinary person at first glance.

When Chen Jian saw this person, he exclaimed, "Dad." ”

I was extremely shocked, I didn't expect that the person who came in would be Chen Jian's father. I looked at Li Damin, Li Damin didn't have any abnormal expression, it can be seen that he already knows the identity of this person.

This person moved a chair and sat down, looked at the ten people in front of him condescendingly, and said in a cold voice: "Chen Jian! ”

Chen Jian hurriedly stood up and stood upright.

"Chen Jian, do you remember that there is no father and son in the team, only the relationship between superiors and subordinates, do you understand?!" The man's voice was cold.

Chen Jianzhan's pen tube was straight, and his hands were pressed against the seam of his trousers: "Yes!" ”

The glasses leader next to him coughed and said: "Let me interject, Professor Chen and Chen Jian are indeed father and son, but Chen Jian's selection of the advance team this time is completely due to his ability, not Professor Chen's relationship, everyone knows this." ”

The man named Professor Chen got up from his chair and walked back and forth, his eyes as cold as a knife: "I tell you, there is no nepotism with me!" Chen Jian won't be taken care of by me! ”

"Yes!" Chen Jian burst into tears with excitement.

Professor Chen made a gesture to signal Chen Jian to sit down, and said, "Let me introduce the content of this mission, the code name is Longmian." ”

He began to speak, and the tent was silent the whole time, and everyone listened very carefully. By the end of his speech, except for the leader, all the people present had their eyes wide and their breathing almost stopped. Including me and Li Damin.

The name of the quest "Dragon Sleep" is not a random one, it really has something to do with dragons.

About two years ago in the winter, there was a very heavy sleet here, and the whole mountain was covered with snow, and in the middle of the night, the residents of Shiliba Village near the mountain heard a cry similar to that of an old cow.

The sound was incredibly loud and earth-shattering, winding from the mountains and forests to the depths of the sky, and then falling from the sky back to the earth, and the whole resonance and resonance resonated for several minutes.

Long after the heavy snow passed, the mountains and forests thawed, and when people went up the mountain, they found that the terrain in the depths of the mountain had completely changed, and even many old hunters could not distinguish between southeast and northwest. The most strange thing is that there is a vertical hole in the valley for no reason, and the cross-section can be about more than 20 meters, which is equivalent to a seven-story building.

On the other side of the valley of the cave, a deep pool of turquoise water was created out of thin air. It was rumored that something big must have happened that night, and maybe God was in power.

Originally, this matter was nothing, until one day, a few children were playing on the mountain, and accidentally came to the pool, and a child shouted, Dragon!

Everyone saw that there was a huge black shadow swimming in the depths of the pool, diving or floating, always below the surface of the water, and its black body was hovering and staggering, looking like a dragon.

Of course, this could also be that the child was dazzled, where did the dragon come from in nature. At this moment, a loud noise came from under the water, like a bull's roar, and then the entire surface of the water seemed to explode, and countless splashes of water splashed in all directions, spraying the children in the face. When I looked at the water again, the dragon was gone.

Strange to say, these children began to have a high fever after returning home, and it didn't work to find a doctor and go to the health center, and the fever naturally subsided after a few days.

These children become very strange, they can't eat fish, they vomit when they eat fish, and they even smell nauseous.

Somehow word spread about it, and a lot of curious people and explorers came, and they probed the deep pool, but to no avail, and finally began to make their way to the huge vertical hole.

The terrifying high energy came, and all the people who entered the cave never came out again, and the whole cave was like a cosmic black hole that appeared out of thin air, hidden in the depths of the mountain. Some people say that it leads to another world, some people say that it is the eye of hell, and some people even speculate that it leads to the underworld, and all kinds of strange theories come out.

In order to prevent further accidents, the local road into the mountain was sealed, a forest farm was specially built, and people were hired to guard here, and anyone who wanted to enter the mountain was persuaded to retreat.

Some people want to go around it from the other direction, but find it too difficult, this valley is surrounded by cliffs, and there is only one path in the forest farm, and other places are not impossible to enter, unless you fly in with wings.

Everyone is curious, but they are not so curious as to fight for their lives. Gradually, fewer people came.

What really makes the authorities act in this place is the order of one man.

This person has a very high status, and no one knows why he gave such an order. But one day, he drew a circle on the map and commanded him to pay more attention to this place.

As soon as he said a word, the people below had to rack their brains and finally take action, first blocking the place, and then sending the pioneer exploration team to explore, first making conclusions and reporting, and then determining the next plan.

When Professor Chen finished speaking, the silent needles in the tent could be heard.

"Any questions?" He asked.

Li Damin buried his head, his face wandered, thinking about something. At this time, one of the team members raised his hand and said softly, "Professor, is there really a dragon in this world?" ”

"Nonsense." Professor Chen's eyes were cold: "We are all atheists, how can there be dragons in this world?!" What I have told you is the rumor of ignorance and foolishness, you are all scientists, how can you shake your faith, if any of you have any doubts, please get out of this tent. ”

As soon as he said this, no one could still express their opinions, but they kept their heads shut and did not speak.

Professor Chen nodded: "If you don't have any opinions, let's leave early tomorrow morning, and we'll go to the cave to have a look." ”

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" A child's children's voice is extremely long, it is Chen Jian.

After the meeting was adjourned, everyone reassigned the tents and prepared the equipment and equipment. The ten men lived in a large tent and worked all night before the lights were finally turned off. Li Damin was lying in his sleeping bag, and I was sitting next to me.

"Damin, have you seen Chen Jian's father?" I asked.

Li Damin said: "Yes." But it's rare. I've seen it two or three times a year. After Chen Jian and I took the exam, we were selected to join the exploration team, and since then we have been living in a group and rarely seeing our parents. ”

"Is Professor Chen Jian's father? I'm talking about the real world. I said.

"I don't know, I don't know." Li Damin said: "Maybe it is, maybe not. All in all, in this world he is. ”

"So what kind of person is Chen Jian's mother?" I asked casually.

Li Damin shook his head: "I've never seen my mother, and Chen Jian hasn't mentioned it, it's like there is no such person in this world." ”

"What do you think about tomorrow's mission?" I say.

"Lin Cong, let's always remember one thing, everything that appears here cannot be judged by existing logic, and it is not as it seems on the surface, it only exists on one principle, that is, to test Chen Jian, this is Chen Jian's purgatory at the last level." Li Damin.

I thought for a while: "You mean that this world exists because of Chen Jian?" ”

"Yes." Li Damin said: "You, me, Professor Chen, all the exploration team members here...... If it weren't for the difficulties in this bardo realm, we wouldn't exist. ”

"Then ...... say," I paused, "could our world exist because of someone?" Someone is specifically tested, and if he is gone, we are gone. ”

Li Damin smiled: "I have actually thought about this question for a long time, but I can only tell you that I don't know." This question has been asked by ancient and modern sages for thousands of years without any result, how do I know? ”

We were chatting, and Chen Jian next to him said in a daze: "Damin, who are you talking to?" ”

"It's okay, I'll talk to myself when I think about something, and I'll go to sleep right away." Li Damin turned over and whispered, "Sleep, I'll have a big adventure tomorrow." ”

They all slept, and there was silence in the tent.

I was a little hesitant to return to reality from here, but I was afraid that if I came back and forth, another year would pass, and I wouldn't be able to catch up with anything.

However, as I analyzed with Li Damin just now, if we hadn't gathered together, we wouldn't have opened it. Could it be that even if I go out now, it won't be too long, because the system is waiting for me.

I'm not sleepy, I don't sleep like they do. I don't feel like I belong here, like a wandering ghost.

I simply gave it a bold try, and then my mind moved, and sure enough, I came back from the bardo realm.

I slowly opened my eyes, and I was still sitting in the living room of the villa, and what had just happened in the valley was suddenly a dream.

I can't bear the sudden interweaving of identities, the change of circumstances, which is painful, and there is a sense of unreality that is not falling.

I'm still like this, not to mention Li Damin, who has been in it for a year, after he returns to his soul, I'm afraid it will take a long time to get used to it.

Seeing that I woke up, Chen Meiyu was a little surprised, and said softly: "Why are you back, Damin?" ”

"I'm going back." I said, "Come back, just wanted to ask you something." ”

"What?" She looked at me strangely.

"Who is your grandfather and is he still there?" I asked.
