Chapter 553: Mysterious Call (1st Update)
At midnight, it was pitch black, and there were no figures in sight in an old town, and the lights were dim, perhaps they all went to sleep.
However, there was still a light in a small alley in the middle of the town, and the light was shining from a low house in the alley. Looking at the light, the house is not very large, only one room, the house is made of some adobe bricks, but it seems to have existed for a long time, some adobe bricks are exposed on the house walls, and some climbing plants have grown in some places.
On the top of the eaves, the most ordinary bricks and tiles are used, and the bricks and tiles are simply stacked together.
On the whole, the house is a bit old.
in the house.
Inside, there are five spaces. When you open the main entrance, the first thing you will find is the living room, and the left and right sides are the bedroom, bathroom, study and kitchen.
The light came from the south side, and the space on the south side was also the study.
In the study, a strange back, he leaned back in a chair, he didn't make a big move, looking at him as if he was looking at a book.
"It turns out that this is the second meteorite mentioned in the parchment scroll......" Chen Xie was holding a stone the size of an egg in his hand, this was a meteorite, and the surface of this meteorite emitted a faint green light, which was very small.
"This is what was stolen by the little brother," Chen Xie thought to himself, and it seemed that he was still thinking about the previous incident in the Snowy Lost City in his mind. At that time, Chen Xie also didn't remember a little, he only knew that he was strongly shaken by the ice at that time, the ice surface of his feet was all broken, and he also fell under the ice bridge, but after falling under the ice bridge, the black insects quickly swept over, as for the later things, Chen Xie didn't know very well, he only knew that at the last moment of his coma, a faint light flashed in front of his eyes, and the color of the light he also clearly remembered, the light was silver-blue.
Chen Xie also thought about it carefully, if he wanted to say this silver-blue light, he had never seen it five or six times, but the light emitted at that time, listening to Nanye-kun, this light was from the water spirit.
Maybe it's really possible, but now more than half a month has passed, and since they came out of the snowy maze, they have all gone their separate ways, scattered, and walked. Even, there are a few people who have washed their hands since then, and they will no longer engage in the industry of inverted buckets. Of course, these people give up this industry, and they also have their own ideas.
But since that tomb robbery, the whereabouts of this third meteorite are unknown, but it is not written on this parchment scroll, it cannot be said that it is not written, but they accidentally destroyed the most important part of the parchment scroll when they fled from the tomb.
This destruction made it even more difficult for them to find the whereabouts of the third meteorite. The fat man and the number of people didn't plan to do this, which is one of the reasons.
"Where is this third meteorite hidden? Could it be a very mysterious place? Or does this third meteorite not exist at all? Chen Xie kept thinking in his heart. But after thinking about it for a long time, I still have no clue.
Even the very powerful glasses man and Nanno-kun, they didn't know the whereabouts of this third meteorite, and they were helpless.
But the glasses man mentioned the most important words, the whereabouts of the third meteorite may be known to the Six Dragons, because the Six Dragons at that time were the most important figures of the current era, and as long as they appeared, they would win everyone's applause. But to say that these six dragon gates are almost all destroyed, and those who still survive today are empty. It can be said that this is a major blow, and they have no clue, and in the end, several of them also tried to inquire, but as a result, it is simply, and now there is no news of the Six Dragons Gate in the society, even if there is, it is a private matter, and there are even fewer people who know the Six Dragons.
Chen Xie was still thinking about it, he was still holding the meteorite in his hand, and at this time, a phone call suddenly broke the original silence.
"Didi-di-" The phone rang on the desk.
However, Chen Xie didn't pay attention to it at first, he was still thinking about the meteorite in his hand.
The phone rang a few times, and then it returned to a burst of calm.
After a long time, the phone rang again.
This time, Chen Xie turned his gaze to the mobile phone on the right side, he squinted, but saw a string of unfamiliar numbers dialed on the mobile phone, the number was local, but he had never seen it.
"Strangers? It's so late, who else will call? Chen Xie thought to himself, at first the first thing he thought of might be the number, but after removing the number, there were a few fat people. But that's not right, if something happens to your own group, they will definitely not call, and the most they will send is a text message. The more Chen Xie thought about it, the more wrong it became, thinking that the person who came here to call must be ominous.
Chen Xie didn't hesitate any longer, he picked up the mobile phone and connected it, but after the phone was connected, Chen Xie didn't speak first, he waited for the other party's response.
After waiting for more than a minute, there was still no sound coming from the other end of the phone.
"This is really strange, could it be that someone made this call, but no one answered," Chen Xie felt very strange.
Then, he was no longer secretive, he was the first to speak, "Hey, hello! Who are you looking for? ”
Chen Xie also used the most basic telephone terminology.
As soon as the voice fell, there was still no sound coming from the other end of the phone, as before.
Didn't hear the sound again, Chen Xie began to become flustered in his heart, he didn't know what to do, maybe hanging up the phone directly is the best result, Chen Xie also thought about this, but if he hung up the phone, this strange call came again, so what should he do. Thinking of these complicated issues, Chen Xie panicked even more.
"Hello! Who are you? Chen Xie asked again.
After waiting for more than a minute, Chen Xie thought that the other end of the phone would be silent again, however, just when Chen Xie wanted to hang up the phone, Chen Xie suddenly heard a strange voice from the phone.
"Giggle-" was the voice on the other end of the phone, and it made people feel creepy when they listened to it. Chen Xie was a little scared, and the hairs behind him stood up at this time.
"This voice-" Chen Xie couldn't speak for a while, in fact, he wanted to speak, but he didn't know what the reason was, his throat seemed to be stuck by something.
The strange sound of "cluck-" lasted for two or three minutes, and after two or three minutes, the other end of the phone seemed to return to a burst of calm. Chen Xie was a little stunned, he didn't know what was going on.
"Could it be haunted by grievances? It's impossible, I haven't done anything wrong, yes, it's better to say that, don't do bad things, I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, I don't believe it, what's really in the phone," Chen Xie was bold at this time, he felt that this was a trivial matter, no matter how he said it, he himself had personally experienced so many ancient tombs, you must know that among these ancient tombs, I don't know how many ghosts and monsters I encountered, and there were even more bizarre things than ghosts, but even so, Chen Xie still escaped death, it can be seen from this, Chen Xie is a person with a great fortune.
"Who are you? Why do you pretend to be a ghost on the phone? This is the third time Chen Xie has spoken.
No, as soon as the voice fell, the strange voice never sounded again, but after Chen Xie waited for ten seconds, a man's voice came from the other end of the phone. This man's voice sounded very rough, vicissitudes, thinking about it, the stranger must be a middle-aged man, even older than the middle-aged man, of course, this is the first judgment in Chen Xie's mind, and the basis for judgment must be the voice of speaking.
"You are Chen Xie!" The man spoke simply, just five words.
Chen Xie was a little stunned when he heard this, he was puzzled, how did this person know his name, could it be that he guessed, but if you said that you want to guess, it is impossible to think about it. It must be that this person already knows his details, it seems that this person is not simple, maybe, he is also a person who specializes in antiques.
Chen Xie didn't hesitate, he responded directly, "How do you know about me, who are you?" ”
Chen Xie also wanted to know the details of this person at once, he wanted to find out this person thoroughly, but he was a smart person, and he would definitely not tell others his true identity at will, even if he did, it would be fake.
"Haha- you don't know me?" There was a laugh on the other end of the phone, and after the laughter, the strange man asked again.
"I know you? It's impossible-" Chen Xie was also flashing quickly in his mind at this time, and clear pictures kept emerging in his mind, including those who chased and fought with his friends when he was a child, and those who robbed tombs with his second uncle, and the others were some of his own tomb robbing experiences. But apart from these, Chen Xie really couldn't think of anyone else.
"Who the hell is this man?" Chen Xie also began to take an interest in people.
"Do you know about meteorites?" This person did not reveal his identity, but he asked about the meteorite in Chen Xie's hand at this time.
"Meteorites? Hehe-" Chen Xie smiled, but he smiled a little unnaturally, of course, he was also trying to keep thinking.
"It's a divine stone, I heard that there are only three meteorites gathered, and under the powerful action of these three meteorites, it will produce a world of the undead!" The man said again.
Chen Xie was also listening carefully, and he himself had no intention of interrupting.
"If my guess is correct, you've already found two meteorites, as long as you find the last one, the world of the dead will appear!" The man said.
"Does this person have clairvoyance, no, this must not be like this, in my opinion, this must be a dream," Chen Xie still didn't quite believe this fact, however, everything was difficult to say.
There's something about this, you say it's true, huh? Damn it, it's actually a fantasy species, how to say this species, this species sometimes exists and sometimes doesn't. In short, in real life, it is difficult to determine the species we see, there are falsehoods, and there will be truths on the other side of falsehoods, but there are still relatively few truths.
"I don't know you, I'll see if you made the wrong call," Chen Xie also wanted to pretend not to know and lure him into the bait.
But this person is very smart, he seems to have seen through Chen Xie's thoughts a long time ago, he just smiled, "Hehe-don't you ask who I am?" You just need to know that I know you and that I know you very well. ”
Told by this, Chen Xie almost slipped the mobile phone in his hand, and he was dumbfounded.
The stranger in Chen Ximian's conversation, he didn't know how to respond next, he was stunned.
After waiting for more than a minute, the man spoke again, "Okay, I don't have much to say, I have something very important to tell you now!" ”
What is the important thing? Could it be that what he said had something to do with the third meteorite? Thinking of this, Chen Xie also subconsciously said, "What's the matter?" ”
The man was not in a hurry, he saw Chen Xie and asked urgently, he also said, "I only know that this third meteorite was found by the Six Dragons, and I also know who the person who found it is?" ”
As expected, the second half of this person's words attracted Chen Xie's interest.
"Are you from the Six Dragons?" Chen Xie asked.
"Haha-don't talk nonsense, how could I be a member of the Six Dragons' Gate, the person I said about who found the whereabouts of the meteorite, you also recognize, and it's still very close to you," the man said.
It's very close, who will it be, and then the people of the Six Dragons. In an instant, Chen Xie thought about it in his mind for a while.
"Zhang Laogou, Lao Wang, and his second uncle, could it be his second uncle?" This result surprised Chen Xie very much, he couldn't believe it at all.
"Is it the second uncle?" Chen Xie let out a weak voice.
The man said, "That's right!" Since you already know that it is the second uncle, then I think you will definitely know the whereabouts of the third meteorite, haha-" After saying that, the man hung up the phone.
And Chen Xie was also stunned, that person came and went without a trace, and after a while, he disappeared.
"Hey, hey?" Chen Xie shouted a few times into the phone, and the other side of the phone had already hung up.
Maybe this came a little suddenly, Chen Xie felt that everything just now was like a dream.
When I woke up from the dream, everything in front of me was dull again.
Chen Xie was a little confused in his mind, he was still thinking about strangers, he looked down at the phone screen, the series of strange numbers, strange numbers still existed, but all this was not simple.
Perhaps it was his own anti-consciousness, he clicked the number again and dialed it again.
But at this time, Chen Xie heard something even more strange on the phone, the phone could still be connected before, but after hanging up the phone, after dialing, there was something like this on the other end of the phone, "I'm sorry, the number you dialed is empty!" ”
It's an empty number, and no one will believe that this is true, it's incredible.
Chen Xie couldn't understand it in his heart, at first, he thought that there was something wrong with his ears, but things were not as simple as he thought, it seemed that all these things had a qualitative, however, this qualitative was not something that everyone could control.
Of course, there are people who know about these things, but no one knows the cause of the incident.
The person on the phone, Chen Xie couldn't guess who it was, maybe this person had a relationship with the Six Dragons, or maybe this person didn't exist at all, but if it didn't exist, then the man's voice he heard was a ghost?
The more Chen Xie thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was starting to get complicated, but there was still a certain degree of difficulty in solving these things.
But the man said on the phone that one of the members of the Six Dragons Gate had found the whereabouts of the third meteorite.
And that person is his second uncle, this really makes Chen Xie dare not think about it, he thinks this is unlikely, you know, no matter what questions he asks his second uncle at that time, his second uncle will be very patient to tell himself. As for the meteorite, maybe the second uncle has something else to hide, besides, it was six years ago, this time, I was still in adolescence at that time, and I didn't understand anything, so the secret of the natural meteorite is even more unclear. Of course, there is one thing, even if his second uncle knows the whereabouts of the meteorite, he will not necessarily tell him about the meteorite. Chen Xie also knows the temperament of the second uncle, although his second uncle is usually very open to dealing with people, he is in a very open-minded state, and even invites friends to eat or something. But the second uncle wants to talk about treasures or more mysterious things, then he is not welcome, he basically talks to others in private, this is private, but this tomb robbery is still very conventional, if someone does not understand the rules, then this deal must not be successful, don't say that it can't be beaten, maybe others will use more ruthless means. You must know that the water in the dry tomb robbery industry is really deep, so deep that people can't see the bottom of the lake. It is also because of this that only those who know the rules of the tomb robbery business, and the business between them is better.
Chen Xie has also thought about the matter of the second uncle for a long time.
When he came back to his senses, Chen Xie glanced at the alarm clock, and the time was just over one o'clock in the morning.
You know, at this point, basically everyone goes to bed with the lights off.
But Chen Xie was still leaning back in the chair, he was not sleepy, as if he had some personal matter in his heart.
What to do? How can this really be? Chen Xie couldn't know the specific reason in his heart.
Since the second uncle has found the whereabouts of the meteorite, it will definitely leave clues.
Thinking to himself, Chen Xie suddenly stood up, he pushed away the chair, and then turned around and searched for the bookshelves on both sides.
"Second uncle's information, yes, the second uncle seems to have left something?" Chen Xie felt that the second uncle was the last hope left for him, this hope was eternal, and he thought that it would not perish.
Of course, more importantly, Chen Xie also misses the second uncle very much, it is a pity that the second uncle died, but his sacrifice is great, he saved all mankind, he is a savior, and he is a hero.
The reason why Chen Xie believes some of the words of the second uncle is that the second uncle is still a good person, he treats people more sincerely, and he is never like some people who only want to poke at other people's shortcomings and want to mess around.
Chen Xie kept rummaging through the bookshelves.
One, two, and three books went on like this, and Chen Xie rummaged through more than hundreds of them.
But when he rummaged through the last shelf, the hope in Chen Xie's heart began to be dashed, all the previous rummaging was nothing, and he found nothing.
On the last shelf, there are no longer discarded old books or newspapers, but just iron boxes wrapped in handkerchiefs. This iron box is in a square shape, but Chen Xie carried it in his hand, and he felt a weight at all, it was very light.
It's so light, there should be nothing in this box, but why is it so well wrapped with a handkerchief, Chen Xie felt a little suspicious, he felt that he had to open the box to see what was hidden in this iron box.
Chen Xie did not hesitate, he directly untied the handkerchief carved with peony patterns, and smoothed the handkerchief, but what appeared in front of Chen Xie at this time was an old iron box, which was rusted on the outside of the lid of the iron box.
Could it be that there are antiques hidden inside? Thinking about it, Chen Xie was overjoyed.
Then, with a thud of his hand, the box was opened.
However, after opening the box, what he saw in the box, Chen Xie not only did not show surprise on his face, but showed a burst of disappointment.
In this iron box, what you see is not so beautiful, there is only a folded piece of withered yellow letter paper, and there is nothing else but stationery.
Fuck, isn't this playing with me, Chen Xie was a little unhappy in his heart. Of course, it's hard for you to be happy when this happens.
Since it was a letter, Chen Xie no longer hesitated, he picked up the folded letterhead, and then, he slowly unfolded the letterhead, and after opening it, there were a few lines of text written on the letterhead, but when he saw this letter, Chen Xie also frowned, and he silently recited: This is the secret of a sacred stone, and its existence may lead to disaster, but it is the beginning of the ultimate world, that is a world of the dead, in this world of the dead, maybe a better secret will be found. The Divine Stone has long ceased to exist, its true meaning is false, the Divine Stone only opens the door to the world, and the so-called third meteorite has long been destroyed, it should not be said that it is the core that started the world. Only by finding the door of the world can we enter a new world, and no one knows about the new world, but it exists in Yibin City, Sichuan.
After reading this passage, Chen Xie finally truly realized the meaning of the Divine Stone and the world.
The two complement each other, but each has its own different characteristics, and it is not clear what they are.
"The third meteorite has been destroyed, how is this possible, and this third meteorite is the core of opening the world of the undead," Chen Xie didn't believe it very much in his heart, but after reading the words in his heart, he was now in a state of half-belief.
Chen Xie recognized the handwriting, this was written by the second uncle, and he thought that all the things that happened here were true.
It is also said that Yibin, Sichuan, is also a very mysterious place.
