Mr. Bai looked at me in amazement.

I hurriedly said, "I slept in Yaya's room. ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Yaya's face flushed with shame.

Mr. Bai looked at me, then at Yaya, laughed, and pointed at me: "Looking at the appearance that your hair has not yet grown, you are still a knowledgeable person." Our Yaya is much stronger than that girl, and women also lie in taste, and Yaya has a smell on her body. ”

"Mr. Bai." Yaya seemed to be angry.

Mr. Bai laughed, stood up and moved his shoulders: "I have to talk to those bandits in the Golden Triangle early in the morning, how can it be interesting to chat with you." He told me to follow, and we turned to the other side of the tower, facing the river. The river that flows through this place is a branch of a great river, but it is very wide and deep, and near our bank, there are many fortifications in the river, and hundreds of laborers are shouting and toiling, and ropes of different thicknesses are tied under the water, all of which are stretched straight.

"Any idea what we're doing?" Mr. Bai said.

"Looks like it's salvaging something." I say.

Mr. Bai nodded: "Smart." About half a year ago, there was a fierce battle on the river, in which General Suha clashed with another private militia. There was a lot of fighting, more than a dozen people died, and after they were eliminated, General Suha sent them to the river to recover the bodies. There was a body that could not be found, and then a deep water salvage was carried out, and the body was found underwater, and not only the body was found, but also a strange thing was found. ”

He led me to the middle of the tower, where on the table lay a long object, wrapped in cloth that looked like a bamboo tube.

"What is this?" I asked, confused.

Mr. Bai snapped his fingers, and a soldier came over and lowered the bamboo curtains on all sides of the roof to block the sunlight outside.

In this dark room, there were only three people, Mr. Bai, me and Yaya, and the atmosphere suddenly became gloomy.

Mr. Bai glanced at Yaya, who took out an oil lamp from under the table and lit it with a lighter, so that the room was slightly brighter.

Mr. Bai carefully unwrapped the outer strip of cloth, revealing a long cylinder about one meter high. This long cylinder is very special, I don't know what material it is made of, the whole body is translucent, and it looks very thick, a bit like some kind of crystal stone. Through the translucent surface, it can be seen that the inside is not empty, but contains a black gas. This cloud of qi was like black smoke, permeating inside, and the shape was extremely strange, one moment faintly spreading all over the inner wall of the long tube, and then condensing into a ball again, forming a ball.

I looked at it strangely, and when I reached out to touch it, I felt that the surface was extremely cold, like touching an ice cube, a bit of ice hand. I hurriedly retracted it, and Xiao Ai said in my mind: "The yin qi is so heavy!" ”

"What's going on?" I hurriedly asked.

Xiao Ai said: "I feel a strong resentment, the yin qi is too heavy, this thing seems to be ...... It seems to be a magic weapon. ”

I was not surprised, and was about to take a closer look, Mr. Bai said: "Wang Qiang, this is what was salvaged from the bottom of the river at that time, can you see what it is?" ”

I looked at him, shook my head, and bluntly said I didn't know.

Mr. Bai smiled: "You can guess, it's okay, just say whatever you want." ”

"This thing has a lot of yin energy," I said, "and I feel a strong resentment, it seems to be a magic weapon." ”

"Bang bang bang." Mr. Bai actually applauded: "I didn't misunderstand you, Wang Qiang, you are really a talent, you are definitely a rising star among wizards, and you have such cultivation at such a young age." ”

I blushed a little, these words were all said by Xiao Ai, I just repeat them.

"So what the hell is this?" I asked.

Mr. Bai laughed and put the cloth back on the tube. I'm a little confused about this detail, the tube should not be directly illuminated.

The soldiers pulled up the curtains, Yaya blew out the oil lamp, and the sunlight shone in. I let out a long sigh of relief, a little confused.

Mr. Bai took us back to the front, sat at the table, he smoked a cigar and said, "What you just saw was later identified by the master we found, and the black gas in it should be the soul of a person." ”

I was sitting and drinking the juice, and I squirted it out and almost choked: "What, what? ”

Mr. Bai said: "Soul, don't you understand, to put it bluntly, it's a ghost." ”

"You mean, the long barrel is really a magic weapon, it can hold people's ghosts? Compared to other magic weapons, it is characterized by translucency, and you can see the appearance of the soul?! I said it in one go.

Mr. Bai nodded: "Probably means something like this." At that time, the first salvage was fished up, and what was fished up was a fully enclosed metal box with the words Japanese, danger and caution written on it. General Suha was very interested, and did three things at the same time, the first was to arrange for people to continue the salvage, the second was to study what was in this box, and the third was to ask my connections to investigate the history of the river. Later, after my investigation, during World War II, the 15th Army of the Japanese Southern Army had stationed and occupied Thailand to eliminate local opposition, and the war spread to the border of Laos and Cambodia. It was here that the Japanese once occupied. However, it is difficult for the entrusted person to find out the specific information about this river, and I even used a lot of the Military Intelligence Section of the Ministry of National Defense related to Taipei to check it, but I did not find the relevant files, so there is only one explanation. ”

I immediately understood: "The materials at that time were artificially destroyed? ”

Mr. Bai nodded: "If there is a little information, a little result, it will not attract my attention, I am just helping the general." But nothing was investigated, and as you said, I immediately had my first reaction, and the data at that time was destroyed. Why? I was in Hong Kong at the time, and I immediately flew back to Thailand, found General Suha, and told him about the situation. He used a lot of people to find a way to open the metal box and put more labor into salvaging it. ”

I listened quietly, and I was a little fascinated, what were the Japanese doing back then?

Mr. Bai said: "Later, through excavation, it was found that there were traces of blasting at the bottom of the river, and a lot of wartime materials had sunk underneath. According to the reductive analysis conducted by the blasting experts we hired, it was basically determined that the Japanese had built some kind of structure near the river bank at that time, and they were doing research in it, and then because they were defeated and retreated, they used explosives to explode everything and blast everything into the bottom of the river to bury it. General Suha and the higher-ups studied together, and they agreed that the reason for the Japanese explosion was because they were studying some kind of dangerous object. ”

"Dangerous goods?" I wondered.

Mr. Bai knocked on the cigar ash: "Wang Qiang, you are still too young to know the history of World War II, the Japanese once studied bacteriological weapons in order to quickly conquer Southeast Asia. Does the Golden Horse Project know? ”

I shook my head.

Mr. Bai said: "Jin Ma was a famous doctor of human toxicology in Japan at that time, in order to redeem the defeat in the Pacific during World War II, in response to the misconduct of American soldiers, they developed a virus, which spread in Southeast Asia, and this virus is still violent, that is, gonorrhea. ”

I was numb and crispy when I heard it, and I broke out in a cold sweat on a hot day.

"At that time, we thought that if we excavated the remains of the Japanese at that time, it was likely that the virus that the Japanese were studying was inside. Then open the Pandora treasure box, it is likely that the virus is very widespread, and General Suha's team does not have a special virus expert, and the salvage process will be extremely dangerous. So the excavation work was interrupted. "The next opportunity happened three months later...... In fact, the salvage work has been going on, and General Suha is very interested in wartime supplies, and although the whole process is interrupted, small-scale salvage is still going on. Three months later, someone dug up a closed metal box, which, according to the Japanese translation above, was a top-secret item. After the identification of the experts found, this metal box should belong to the Kwantung Army. ”

Mr. Bai said: "This matter is a bit mysterious. The Kwantung Army was stationed in Manchukuo at the time, while the Southern Army was in Southeast Asia, and there was almost no direct interaction between the two forces, so it was impossible to intersect, so why did the Kwantung Army participate in this plan? General Suha found a lockpicking expert in the United States, and after using many methods, he finally opened the front and back metal boxes. ”

The first metal box contained a long cylinder with a cloud of black gas, which I had seen before.

The second metal box contained an old piece of film. Because the metal box was completely enclosed, the contents were well preserved, and there were no problems due to oxidation, and when the film was played on an old projector, the images that appeared inside shocked everyone.
