Chapter 68: Purpose
The middle-aged man walked to my side step by step, sitting quietly on the sofa opposite, staring at me like a wolf with a pair of cold eyes. To be honest, a large part of the reason I chose this career as a writer was because I had met too many people with low tastes. I hated dealing with these social people, so I wrote books at home. Because I can support myself without social interaction, I don't dare to dick anyone in real life, no matter who you are, whether you have money or power. This kind of personality has been cultivated for many years, so that I rarely have emotional fluctuations because of "someone", but I have to admit that Zhou Boren, who is sitting opposite me at the moment, has brought me a great sense of oppression. That's right, it was those cold eyes that really sent chills down my spine.
I said in a low voice, "Mr. Zhou, what do you mean by this?" ”
Zhou Boren did not answer my question directly, but asked me: "Is that thing on you?" ”
I frowned, "What's that?" ”
He said coldly, "Living Dead Jade." ”
I was shocked and surprised: "How do you know that I have the Living Dead Jade?" ”
Zhou Boren smiled lightly: "Sure enough, it's on you." ”
I immediately blushed and screamed badly! It turned out that they weren't sure if the Living Dead Jade was on me, but the few words that didn't change their face just now made me feel right. I gritted my teeth with hatred, but I couldn't blame others for it, I could only blame myself for being a pig's brain. But in this way, I have finally determined the purpose of the Unsolved Mystery Research Institute to find me, it turns out that they are not for the tomb of the pigtail aunt, let alone for the death of Han Benchu and others, but for the divine object in my hand: the living dead jade!
Before I could speak, Zhou Boren continued: "Young man, please believe me, the Jade of the Living Dead is not something you can control, give him to me, only in this way, you two may have a way to live." Life is so short, I hope you cherish it, otherwise I promise you that once you walk out of this door, you will definitely die. ”
When Pudding and I heard this, we couldn't help but swallow our saliva, and cold sweat was already soaking our bodies like rain. Zhou Boren's tone when he spoke did not have the slightest hint of "consultation", as if it was an order. It's hard for me to imagine what will happen to Pudding and me if I don't like him in my next sentence.
I know very well in my heart that the police station at least talks about the rules, but the Unsolved Mystery Research Institute is not necessarily, to put it bluntly, even if they kill me and Pudding here, who can know? My heart is turbulent, and it seems that today I really went into the wolf's den first, and then into the tiger's den. But just when I was at a loss, the clever pudding turned the situation around in an instant and turned the tide, she was not only fearless, but showed a sneer, and then said to Zhou Boren: "Mr. Zhou, the person I don't understand the situation may not be us, but Mr. Zhou." ”
Zhou Boren smiled faintly and said, "Listen to me." ”
Pudding said: "Hearing what Mr. said just now, I know that you don't know much about the Living Dead Jade. You only know that it is a sacred artifact that hides some kind of secret, but I don't know if you know, sir, there are three other pieces of the Living Dead Jade! ”
Zhou Boren's face sank obviously!
Pudding continued: "We do have one of them, but if we want to unlock the secret of the living dead jade, we must find the other three, and the gentleman just said that if we don't give you the jade, you guarantee that we will die if we leave this door." Then I can also assure you, Mr. Zhou, that if one of me and him is missing a hair, I guarantee that you will not be able to find the other three pieces of living dead jade in your life!" ”
Wonderful!
My heart rejoices.
It seems that I made the right decision to woo Pudding Girl to join the gang in the first place. This guy has a really sharp mouth, and the three-inch meat tongue actually said that Zhou Boren didn't dare to act rashly, although I understood that the pudding was simply pulling calves, because we didn't know where the other three living dead jade were. But her pretentious words also made him Zhou Boren taste what it means to be frightened!
Zhou Boren said coldly: "Are you threatening me? ”
Pudding was not shocked and said, "You are threatening us!" ”
Zhou Boren suddenly smiled slightly, and then said to me and Pudding: "Young man, if I want to rob you of the Living Dead Jade in your hands, I don't need to meet you at all. All I need to do is give an order, and you two were already two corpses last night. ”
Pudding said, "Then Mr. Zhou, you sent someone to bring us here, not to rob us of the living dead jade in our hands, what is the matter?" ”
Zhou Boren said two words coldly: "Cooperation." ”
Pudding's eyebrows twitched slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he asked, "Mr. Zhou, there is one thing I don't understand, why don't you cooperate with the gods in the old Lu Nai tomb robbery, but choose to cooperate with the two of us after his death?" It's very counterintuitive, and you have to clear up the doubts in my mind, which is the basis of our cooperation. ”
Zhou Boren said: "I don't know the old Lu in your mouth, and I don't know who handed you the living dead jade in your hands. ”
I was stunned and said, "Then how do you know that I have the Living Dead Jade in my hand?" ”
Zhou Boren said: "There are records about the living dead jade in the world, the original source is from the ancient ruins of the "Elephantless Country" in the Wusu Desert in the Lop Nur region, when Chinese archaeologists excavated an ancient inscription at the site, which recorded the most shocking thing is the living dead jade. But what exactly is the Jade of the Living Dead? To this day, no one knows, let alone seen. What is the principle by which it can enter a state of non-life and non-death? All of this is an unsolved mystery. Do you know that the state has long listed the Living Dead Jade as a first-class research object, and has blocked any information about this artifact on the entire network. Crawler scripts, including Baidu and Google, once someone searches for the word "living dead jade", our unsolved mystery research institute will get a prompt as soon as possible. Mr. Mo, you should have searched for this keyword three days ago, right? ”
When I heard this, my eyes were as shocked as duck eggs, he was right, three days ago I searched for the keyword "jade of the living dead" on Baidu, but just such a small action caused the country's vigilance? I couldn't help but gasp, is this living dead jade really so important? What do they mean by that state of "neither life nor death" that they have been talking about?
I only heard Zhou Boren continue: "I said before that once the two of you walk out of this door, you will definitely die, which means that I Zhou Boren want to attack you, but refers to the unsolved mysteries of other countries. Since I can set up a search prompt for "Jade of the Living Dead" in a search engine, other countries naturally have this ability as well. As far as I know, you've been targeted! ”
