5. Counting in the meter(1)

Suddenly, I heard the crisp sound of a branch, and when I turned around, I suddenly saw a black shadow flashing, and my heart moved, and I chased after it without hesitation. But the figure was so fast that by the time I drove it out of the woods, it had vanished, as if it had just been my hallucination. Thinking back to the direction of the crisp sound of the branch just now, I looked for it, and soon found a broken branch, which looked like it had just been stepped on, and the fracture surface was very new.

I didn't even notice that there were people in this place, was it originally here, or was it ...... Tracked me all the way here? Thinking of the latter possibility, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on my back.

Suddenly he didn't dare to stay here anymore, got up and looked around, and was about to leave, when he suddenly saw that the soil at the root of the tree next to him seemed to have traces of renovation, could it be that the person was a gardener just now? But why run? I looked at the other trees, which had not been turned over, and I had a vague intuition that there was a cat under that tree. I broke off a slightly thicker branch, and dug up at the root of the tree, and dug it down two feet deep, and I was stunned, and the old stone tablet that I couldn't find was buried in the ground.

But the stele was buried with its back down, and I had to dig up all the earth and turn it over. Regardless of the motive of the person who buried this stele, it was obvious that he wanted to hide the secret of this stele, and it was easy to dig the earth, but I could not turn over such a heavy stone stele no matter how strong I was. In the end, I thought of a stupid way, anyway, there was no one around, so it was better to use the shadow moon to cut the stone tablet into several parts, and then move it up piece by piece, and put it together like a puzzle.

It was clumsy and brutal, but it worked, but when I took out a small piece of it and turned it over, I couldn't help but be surprised that the words on the stone had been artificially scratched. The rest of the stones were taken up, all of them were in the same situation, and the original words were basically no longer legible, leaving only the last few words, probably too late to cross out, so the stele was buried in the ground.

All of this is a sign that someone is trying to stop me or someone else from coming to the old stele, and that person is likely to be the figure that flashed by. I took out the blue paper from my backpack and carved it one by one, regardless of whether I crossed it out or not. After the whole thing was done, it didn't take much effort to bury the stone tablet that had been broken into several pieces, and I put away my things and left the place.

Out of the Yunyuan Gate, I deliberately wandered aimlessly on the streets, shuttling through the crowd, paying special attention to the people around me, but I didn't find any suspicious people.

I turned into a bar, turned on the machine, and began to search for information related to Khitan characters, trying to translate the remaining words through the Internet. But apparently I was whimsical, this is an ancient text, not English, and it can't be translated at all.

Sitting in the position, his mind calmed down, and he typed the name of the city and the Khitan text into the search bar, trying to find out whether there was such an institution through keywords, and specifically annotated the text. I had this idea because I remember that Sheng Shiyao also looked dazed when he found the stone tablet, and I later speculated that he had asked a polymath to learn this kind of writing. I don't know if I typed in the wrong keyword, or what's going on, I can't find a relevant language research institution at all.

Could it be that he went to the library to look up literature and was self-taught? The library is very easy to look up, and there is one in the city center. But that is undoubtedly a needle in the bottom of the sea, even if I find a classic book about the Khitan language, it is difficult to penetrate the mystery of the words on the stone tablet.

I put down the mouse and pinched my eyebrows, feeling very weak. found that as long as he was looking for information about Sheng Shiyao, it was very difficult, and the things he left behind looked very important, just like the notebook and blank paper, but they were all useless.

Holding his chin in a daze, he was startled by a roar from beside him, and turned his head to see that it was an unkempt boy shouting there, looking like he hadn't left for a few days, right? The tube came quickly, and the boy yelled that the computer was broken, causing him to interrupt the game he was playing, and the equipment was about to explode. I didn't say much, my fingers skillfully tapped on the keyboard, and after five minutes, the computer with the black screen was ready to boot up normally.

My heart moved, and I took advantage of the time I was helping the boy fix the game, and asked: "If the data in the computer is lost due to restoration, can I get it back?" Guan was a young man, about the same age as Liuzi, turned his head to look at me and said, "You have to see it to know." ”

As soon as I heard that there was a door, I hurriedly took out Sheng Shiyao's notebook from my backpack, and after the manager helped the boy get the machine, I asked him to inspect it. He didn't shirk it, after turning on the phone, he also knocked the keyboard skillfully, and then he didn't know what he pressed, and he entered the blue screen state, he looked at it for a while, shook his head and said: "Your machine has been specially treated, and it is not an ordinary restoration elf, but the main program designed by the master, once it is shut down, any used files and traces will be written off." ”

Ace design? Isn't that the sixth son? He is a computer hacker, and he must have installed this program for Sheng Shiyao.

I thought about it for a moment and asked, "Is there a way to crack this program?" Even if it's a little bit of a fix, my friend said the files inside are very important. The guy shook his head, "The main program doesn't know the source code, you can't crack it at all, and the person who designed this program is very powerful, you'd better ask your friend to find that master to get it." ”

smiled bitterly, where can I go to find the six sons, a few of them are like the world has evaporated. When I returned to the hotel at night, I lay in bed without any sleep, staring at the ceiling above my head with my eyes open, and my mind was confused. Suddenly, a spiritual light struck, I turned over and sat up, my thoughts became clear, and I followed the train of thought, and found that more and more doubts were ignored by me.

Looking up at the window, seeing that the sky was already dark, I didn't think about anything, put my things away, picked up my bag and rushed out the door. Nowadays, every time I go out, I will bring all my belongings, and when I arrive in the downtown area, I will carry my bag in front of me, and my awareness of theft prevention has been significantly strengthened. I hurried to that place, in a very rarely visited corner by the moat, and when I found what I was looking for, I was more certain of my suspicions.

Now I just have to test that guess.

First I took out my phone and dialed it, and I only said one sentence: "Found it, come here." "Then at noon, I bought a boxed lunch and went to the house where I went yesterday, found the original location, and saw that the unkempt boy was still fighting, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was still staring at the screen. I watched his game for a while, shaking my head, not knowing what kind of magic could be so appealing about that game.

I left my lunch box next to the boy and walked out of the bar. When I returned to the hotel, I fell asleep, and when I woke up, I was dizzy and dizzy, so I went to the bathroom and poured some cold water, which was better. Looking at the time, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, and I went to eat nearby, and I just finished eating when my phone rang. I rang the bell and sent a text message.

When I arrived at the gate of Yunyuan, there was already a person waiting under the street lamp. As soon as I stepped forward, the other person asked, "Where's the thing?" Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out the folded paper, "All the information and information you want are on this piece of paper." ”

After the man took it, he was impatient to open it and look at it, but I was just about to open my mouth to stop it, when I suddenly heard a scolding from behind me: "What are you doing? Turning his head, he saw that there were two people in uniform, and without thinking about it, they pushed the person next to him and shouted: "Run!" He reacted and shoved the paper in his hand, ran away on his long legs, and disappeared after a while.

The heart said that this is really faster than a rabbit, as soon as I hid myself, I got into the rhyme garden, the garden is wide and there are many trees, just hide there, it's dark, and you can't find it at all. Sure enough, the two uniforms shouted a few times at the door, and then they went away, fearing that they would wait for me outside, so they circled the garden and went out through the other side door.

After leaving the Yun Garden, I strode and ran until I reached the vicinity of the bar, searched around, found a deep alley, ran to the mouth of the deep alley and listened, although the sound inside was far away, I could still hear one or two. I found a hiding place to hide, and after waiting for more than ten minutes, a person came out of it, and I squinted at the figure, and the corners of my lips finally rose.

After the man had walked thirty or forty meters, I quietly followed, passed through the deep alley, and mourned the unlucky guy inside, so I thought it was to help him wake up. I wasn't good at stalking, but there was a night to hide, so the other party never noticed that I was staring at me. As I followed, I became familiar with the buildings around me, and soon I recognized that this was the way to the hotel where I was staying.

Looking from afar, you can see the light box of the hotel, is it difficult to ......

When I saw the figure turn into the hotel, I only had a wry smile on my face. Quicken your pace and run over, just in time to see the figure disappear behind the elevator door. Rushed into the safe passage, climbed two floors up to the floor where I lived, just heard the elevator door open, hid in the corner and watched the man take out the magnetic card and calmly swipe the door lock, push the door and enter. I didn't know how to describe my mood, so I took a deep breath and walked away, past my room, and stood at the door of the next room, where the other party had just entered.

Ring the doorbell, count silently in my heart, and when I counted to five, the door was pulled open from the inside, and a familiar face appeared behind the door. Surprise flashed across his face, and then he smiled bitterly, "I was really told by Brother Yao, I fell for your plan." ”

I tugged at the corners of my stiff mouth and tried to smile, but it seemed to have failed, and I knew that if I didn't look in the mirror, I knew that laughing was worse than crying. He said dryly: "Zhou Tong, you ......" and the remaining three words "are you okay" were swallowed in his throat.

Yes, the person in front of him is Zhou Tong. I lured him out with a little trick, but I didn't expect that since I set foot on this land, my every move has not escaped their eyes, or rather, Sheng Shiyao's eyes.
