Chapter 1: A Man's Journey
It was ten soft fingers, slender and beautiful, as white as an onion peeled off the old skin.
If such beautiful fingers are staggered on the keys, it will definitely give people an indescribable beauty. But at this time, they were crushing and pinching on the outside of Ye Luo's clothes and pants, which were equally light, but they had absolutely nothing to do with beauty.
"Can you really lose weight by eating cucumbers for dinner?" Seeing that there was no one else around, the slender female security inspector whispered to the girl who was watching the surveillance screen.
The monitoring girl didn't roll her eyes, and replied softly in a low voice: "Of course!" ”
"That'...... Should I eat before or after a meal? The female security inspector swept around with the corner of her eye, and found that no one else paid attention to him except Ye Luo, so she continued to ask.
The surveillance girl finally took her eyes off the screen, staring at the female security inspector with her eyes stunned, completely unsure of what to say.
Ye Luo, who was touched by the opposite sex for the first time through clothes, also looked at the girl with beautiful fingers with some surprise, and laughed out loud with a cute "poof".
As a passenger who has passed through the security check, Ye Luo should not have interjected. But maybe it's because I'm about to fly for the first time in my life, or maybe it's because I'm getting up close and personal with a girl for the first time in my life, so I'm a little excited.
Emotional excitement is naturally happy, so Ye Luo couldn't help but interject: "You can eat a little before and after meals." ”
Female Security Inspector: "......"
Surveillance girl: "?? ”
Smiling and turning around in a chic manner, Ye Luo picked up his backpack and turned around and walked towards the passage. Suddenly, a terrible alarm sounded, piercing people's eardrums.
After the chaotic footsteps, the security area was surrounded by more than a dozen security guards and police officers, and in the center was an old man with gray hair and black-rimmed glasses.
"Professor Flower!" Ye Luo couldn't help but scream, forcefully separated the crowd and squeezed in, and quickly came to the old man's side with a worried face.
At this time, the old man's face was full of astonishment, but the security guard on the other side had a gloomy face, and from the mezzanine of Professor Hua's suitcase, he took out a blue cloth bag rolled into a cylinder.
The cloth wrap was opened layer by layer, and finally under the gaze of dozens of eyes, a strangely shaped quaint short knife was revealed.
"Warring States Bronze Dagger?" The security guard screamed in horror.
Professor Hua's face turned pale in an instant, and Ye Luo became even more surprised than just now. The dagger looked familiar, as if he had seen it there, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
Ye Luo knew that it was not the Warring States Bronze Dagger. First of all, it wasn't bronze, as you could tell from the color. And it wasn't a dagger, but an old short knife that looked a bit like a Western-style dinner knife. But judging from the desolate texture of the short knife and the quaint style, this is definitely a precious cultural relic with a history of more than 1,000 years. Taking a step back, even if this short knife is not a cultural relic, it can at least be considered a controlled knife. Either way, it's going to be a big hassle.
A police officer appeared in front of Professor Ye Luo and Hua, and said with a cold face, "You two, come with me!" ”
"Wait!" Professor Hua pulled Ye Luo behind him, looked directly at the police officer with a serious face, and said, "I can stay, but my students must fly to the North Atlantic Islands." The aircraft consignment compartment contains China's latest deep-sea exploration ship, and he is the only person who can drive the exploration ship except me. This involves an important international joint expedition and must not be delayed. ”
"Humph!" The police officer snorted coldly and said, "I don't have the right to let him go if something so big happened, you two must be investigated together." ”
Professor Hua's face twitched unnaturally, and he took a step forward and whispered: "I have a special pass issued by the Special Incident Investigation Bureau, and this inspection project is very important, if you insist on going your own way, no one can afford the consequences." ”
Looking at the pass that Professor Hua handed over, the officer glared at the two of them fiercely, turned to a corner and made more than a dozen calls in a row, and then walked back with a strange face. He looked at Ye Luo with a complicated expression, and said in a slightly soothing voice: "Your name is Ye Luo?" It says you can get on the plane, and I wish you a nice trip! ”
After getting the desired result, Professor Hua patted Ye Luo's shoulder and said, "Ye Luo, everything depends on you, you must hand over the deep-sea exploration ship to Dr. Mo intact." You don't want to go into the sea, it's too dangerous, just teach them how to drive. This exploration of the ruins of Atlantis is very important, and I am waiting for your good news at home. ”
With that, Professor Hua smiled gently, habitually pushing his black-rimmed glasses, his eyes full of encouragement.
"Hmm!"
Ye Luo forcibly held back the tears rolling in his eyes, nodded vigorously, and agreed in a choked voice.
As a freshman who has just stepped onto a college campus, Ye Luo is immature. But as an orphan who has been living independently for five years, Ye Luo is strong. For five years, Professor Hua has cared for him like his father, and he has always acted as a professor's assistant. It is precisely because of this that he was able to go to the Atlantic Ocean to observe this deep-sea exploration project as an assistant to Professor Hua.
Under the guidance of the staff, Ye Luo came to his seat dejectedly and found that it was a large, comfortable chair. It wasn't until this moment that he remembered that he had booked a first-class cabin with Professor Hua, and the financier who paid for it was naturally Dr. Mo, who had three multinational companies under his name.
This is Ye Luo's first time on a plane, and it is his first time going abroad. The original nervousness in my heart had turned into panic at this time because of Professor Hua's matter. The kneeling service of the beautiful flight attendant failed to bring Ye Luo back to reality from his cranky thoughts. His gaze was completely unfocused, but his right hand couldn't help but twist a black bead on his left wrist.
The black beads are the size of a little finger, strung on a black silk thread, and curl quietly on the side of Ye Luo's wrist, and the whole body is cold. From the outside, the black beads look like metal, but the metal detector at the airport does not sound the alarm.
This bead was the only relic left by his mother to Ye Luo, but in his mind, he couldn't remember what his mother looked like at all. Because his father said that when Ye Luo was less than three years old, his mother died. Other than that, the father refused to talk anything about his mother.
The whole journey, Ye Luo spent the whole journey in a lost soul, he kept thinking about the copper short knife, but he could never remember where he had seen it. What made him even more puzzled was who the hell was who stuffed the short knife into Professor Hana's suitcase.
When he was on a connecting flight, he rightfully dialed Professor Hua's phone. But what made him even more worried and frightened was that Professor Hua's phone was turned off.
Finally, the plane arrived at the airport in the North Atlantic Islands, but Professor Hua's phone was still turned off.
