Chapter 13: The Deep Mist
"To tell you the truth, I don't know what the jade pendant is. But one thing is for sure, it contains an eerie and terrifying power. Can make the owner or the person who comes close to it powerful and crazy. The old man exhaled deeply.
"So how did you get it? What happened next? Lu Qing couldn't wait to ask.
"Now that you know who I am, there's no need to talk nonsense. At that time, the expedition caused a shortage of water, and all the members of the team asked for help from the local garrison, but this required a lot of resources. So I decided to go out and find water on my own. The old man finally admitted his identity, and it was indeed Professor Peng, who mysteriously disappeared in Lop Nur in the 80s. But just as he said that he volunteered to find water, Lu Qing suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Wait, you said you went out alone to find water? Voluntary? ”
"Not bad."
"Look at this, then." Lu Qing took out the notes of the black-robed man who died tragically from his underwear pocket and handed them to Professor Peng. When Professor Peng read the notes, he was puzzled.
"Who wrote this?"
"You don't know?" Lu Qing was also a little surprised in his heart.
"I don't know him, and there was no one on the expedition. But how could he have known about my abduction? Professor Peng wiped the lens and flipped through the notebook again.
After listening to Professor Peng's answer, Lu Qing's thinking couldn't help but stiffen. What's going on? I would like to think that the man in black was familiar with Professor Peng, but he was completely overturned by Professor Peng's words. So who exactly is the Man in Black? Which side does it belong to? Why did he say 'we' had been deceived? Who lied to them? At this time, Lu Qing felt that everything that happened in the ruins of Lop Nur and Loulan was even more confusing, and the inexplicable sense of horror in his heart became more and more intense.
"I don't know anything about the zoning mentioned in this note. Where is the 6th arrondissement? Where is the 9th arrondissement? Professor Peng coughed dryly again, his voice full of doubt.
"Let's not explore that yet. Tell me what happened to you? Since he couldn't figure it out, Lu Qing simply changed the topic.
"It all happened after I left the camp. A few kilometres from the camp, I found the dried body of a man. But to my surprise, the dried corpse was dressed in a Nazi uniform from decades ago. I got a box from one of his pockets, and it was so intricately made that it seemed to be a sophisticated instrument in itself, and it contained the ancient jade. At that time, I also found a notebook on the Nazi soldier's body. I was even more surprised by the fact that the Nazi soldiers were writing notes in Chinese. And what is recorded in the notes is the shocking truth about the Pisces jade pendant. Speaking of this, Professor Peng suddenly wrapped himself in thin clothes. It was summer, and the cell was unusually hot, and it was not the temperature that made him feel cold, but the terrible truth.
It is recorded that Nazi soldiers began excavating Pisces jade pendants forty years ago. At that time, it took them four years to finally see the true face of Yu Pei. But what is unimaginable is that a disaster will follow one after another. Something from the ground spreads and begins a protracted war with the Nazi army. In the end, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and only a few Nazi soldiers survived.
At that time, in 1944, the German Nazis proposed a racial preference plan, which was closely related to the Pisces jade pendant. Therefore, they are ready to send the jade pendant back to Germany quickly. But unfortunately, before leaving, he was attacked by another force. Only this officer was lost in the desert with the jade pendant. At this time, Professor Peng's stomach made a gurgling sound, and he pointed to the food and motioned for Lu Qing to hand it to him.
Seeing Professor Peng chewing slowly, Lu Qing felt a little unbearable in his heart, and at the same time, his stomach kept rolling, but he was helpless. After all, under hunger, it doesn't matter what you eat. Professor Peng ate very slowly, and said as he ate:
The note warns that the box must not be opened in the desert, or it will lead to another disaster. But at that time, I had already opened the box and held the jade pendant in my hand. Just as I was panicking, something terrible appeared in the desert. At this, Professor Peng swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"It was a huge thing, and I didn't even have to see their shape clearly, and the jade pendant was snatched away. I almost lost my life, but luckily I just passed out. It wasn't until I woke up that I realized I had been taken captive. These people tortured me to extract a confession and asked me about Yu Pei's whereabouts. I don't know how they learned that I had found the jade pendant, but no matter how it was explained, they didn't believe my words, let alone that the jade pendant would bring disaster. And that notebook was lost in the desert. Professor Peng shook his head and sighed, his face filled with unease.
"How can you be sure that the jade pendant is bringing disaster?" Seeing Professor Peng's expression, Lu Qing was even more puzzled.
"You don't know that feeling, when I held the jade pendant for the first time, I saw an inner picture. It was a terrible sight. It was just a strange premonition, but it convinced me. Whoever you are, please help me. The calamity was started because of me, and I hope you can help me destroy the jade pendant. At this moment, Professor Peng suddenly grabbed my hands, and the expression in his eyes was extremely complicated, with helplessness, pleading, and confusion.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely think that Professor Peng was crazy. But I've seen so many incredible things since I traveled back in time. For example, inexplicable time travel, mysterious two major forces, giant desert creatures, identical rotting zombies, Nazi bases, and remnants of the national army that appeared out of nowhere. Originally, I thought that these national armies were hidden forces, but the truth does not seem to be that simple. For example, which side does the man in black belong to? What is the thing that took the jade pendant away?
And the most important point is what the national army is digging? What does this have to do with the Pisces jade pendant? Aren't they afraid that something horrible will come out again?
"What kind of poison did the national army outside get into? What are they digging? Lu Qing scratched his scalp, his heart full of doubts.
"I don't know much about this, I don't even know where they came from. Since they want to get the jade pendant, then everything they do must be related to the jade pendant. And I suspect that there are remnants of the Nazis of decades ago hidden in the national army. It is they who are in charge. This can be inferred from the Nazi officer who wrote notes in Chinese. At this time, the black-haired creature that had been smashed to death by Lu Qing began to wake up, and Professor Peng's face suddenly changed when he saw this.
"Let's go. If possible, please be sure to complete my instructions! At this time, Professor Peng suddenly pushed me, and there was urgency in his voice.
"What is it?"
"Don't ask, let's go, hurry!"
Lu Qing glanced at Professor Peng, although he was a little unbearable, he still gritted his teeth and walked out of the cell. However, just as he walked out of the cell, he suddenly saw a terrible black face armor, followed by a heavy blow to the head, and he was unconscious in front of him.
At this time, Professor Peng in the cell seemed to have realized all this. For some reason, a glint of indescribable light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
In the desert near the ruins of the ancient city, the Great Snake and his party are gradually approaching.
"Chief, the position of the Revelator has stopped." The steel ghost said excitedly.
"Well, finally got him. If you see a beaver, there is no mercy for killing. The serpent's face flashed with a rare hint of ferocity.
Hei Jin's face was still indifferent. The golden eye looked at the big snake with a frown, and the green spider also glanced at the big snake intentionally or unintentionally, because his face was masked. So I don't know what the hell she was thinking.
"Serpent, this violates the Martyrs' Convention. You don't have the right to kill any of the martyrs. Golden Eye said with some dissatisfaction.
"Have you forgotten who he really is? He's not one of ours. The big snake glanced at the golden eye and said coldly.
"Still, it needs to be decided by the tribunal." Goldeneye retorted.
"Pedantic ......"
"Enough, didn't you find anything?" At this point, Black Gold interrupted the argument between them, and stared around with a wary face as he raised his spear.
"Steel ghosts?" The serpent turned his head to look at the steel ghost.
"This ...... Nothing was found on the instrument. But I can only detect bio-energy, and everything else ......" Before the steel ghost could finish speaking, his face turned pale when he saw what was coming out of his eyes.
