Chapter 2: Strange Parchment

I couldn't help but feel a little depressed, so I beckoned Ah K to go through the discharge procedures, and the two rushed to the school in a hurry. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When we arrived at the school gate, I happened to meet Mr. X coming out of it, and Ah K and I couldn't help but talk and carried him back to his secluded office.

This Mr. X, whose original name is Zhou Hongru, is our history teacher, who usually likes to study some obscure things, and has also serialized some related articles in several newspapers in the city. He is very easy-going and gets along very well with the students.

"Pay attention to the image! You two guys, let's say, what's the problem this time? Mr. X tidied up the clothes we had messed up and said angrily.

I took the two halves of the photo out of my pocket, put it together, and put it on the desk in front of him, "What the hell is this?" ”

He glanced at it, took out reading glasses from his pocket and put them on, then picked up the photo and looked at it for a long time before he said leisurely: "This should be a map." ”

"How?" I wondered.

He didn't reply immediately, but took a pen and paper from the drawer of his desk, and hunched over his back to brush and write on the paper. After a while, he put the written paper in front of me, and then said proudly: "It's encrypted, understand?" ”

I took the paper and looked at it, and I was dazzled. Damn, I drew all kinds of messes on the paper, and I couldn't see any clue at all. Especially Ah K, who directly understood the things on the paper as ghost drawings.

In fact, it is easy to understand, this is equivalent to a kind of word splitting game, as long as the words on the back and the lines on the front are combined in a special way, you can interpret it. Although I roughly figured out that it was a map, I still didn't know where it was. The words "live and die together" alone have too little information, and I can only analyze this. Mr. X sighed, looking regretful.

I can understand how uncomfortable it feels for someone like him to be stuck in a bottleneck for someone like him. I was about to say something, when suddenly, Mr. X burst out laughing and said "yes".

"What's there? Speak up and listen, don't be there alone! Ah K said dissatisfied.

"Let's put it this way, I have an acquaintance, an expert in this area, and there must be a way to find him. Let's go! Mr. X swore as if his acquaintance was very powerful.

Along the way, Mr. X was constantly praising his acquaintance, and Ah K and I couldn't help but have a sense of worship.

After arriving at the place, Mr. X knocked on the door and after a while, a man in his fifties opened the door, this man was wearing a cardigan Tang suit, and he looked very majestic. But to my surprise, after entering the door, he welcomed us very warmly to sit on the sofa and drink kung fu tea, not to mention how easy-going. It wasn't until Mr. X pulled out the "live and die together" photo from the file bag that his face jerked.

"Where did it come from?" He took the photo, and his eyes instantly became sharp.

Mr. X pointed at me, then said, "My student brought it." ”

After listening to Mr. X's words, Professor Liang immediately turned to me with a frown, and after staring at me for a while, he opened his mouth quietly: "What is your name?" ”

"Enron." I was a little nervous when he saw it.

"The surname is Ann, isn't it? How old are you this year? Professor Liang didn't wait for me to breathe a sigh of relief, and then asked.

I thought to myself that this good professor is really strange, and he has a habit of checking identity information. But he still replied sincerely: "20".

After I finished speaking, Professor Liang propped his chin and pondered, and after a long time, Mr. X answered the two phone calls, and he was still in that position.

"Professor Liang, there are some things that need to be dealt with at the school, so I will stay soon. I'll visit you another day when I have time. Mr. X said with a smile, with the right amount of respect that made him look very sophisticated.

"It's okay, just let him stay." Professor Liang pointed at me, then waved his hand, motioning for the two of them to take matters into their own hands.

After Mr. X and Ah K left, Professor Liang got a yellowed piece of paper out of nowhere, handed it to me and said, "Think about it." ”

I took the piece of paper and looked at it several times, but I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. I have to say anything special, but I can only say that this paper is not as stiff as ordinary paper, but also very soft, and it feels like touching a piece of fabric, which is very smooth.

"Seeing is not always believing. A lot of things need to be dissected deeply. Seeing that I looked stunned, Professor Liang said something meaningful.

When I heard this, I couldn't help but chuckle. To put it nicely, do you want to divide the corpses of the five horses with paper and then use a microscope to study them?

"About 20 years ago, when I went to Beijing to deal with some things, I found a very peculiar phenomenon on a 100-meter-high stone wall when I went deep into the mountains of Yanqing with the local reception staff. It was raining that day, and while sheltering from the rain, I used my telescope to observe the surrounding environment at random, and unexpectedly found a stone wall with more than 100 words. I wondered how to wait for the rain to stop and take a look, but when we climbed to the place with great difficulty, we found that all the words were gone. Our group made many hypotheses, but none of them could explain this phenomenon. Later, a young man accidentally spilled water when he was drinking water, and a miracle happened, and those inexplicably hidden words appeared again. After a while, the water dried and it disappeared again. You say God is not magical? After Professor Liang finished speaking, he casually glanced at my hand.

Rao is no matter how stupid I am, I understand what he means. Since there are ink stains on the stone wall that appear when they encounter water, then this paper is also completely possible. I hurriedly picked up the teacup and was about to spill the cold tea, but Professor Liang on the other side suddenly shouted "stop", and the person immediately stood up, as if he was about to rush over.

"Isn't that right?" I smacked my tongue and said something stupid.

"If it's that simple, it's not called parchment. Stinky boy, look at it. As soon as Professor Liang finished speaking, he immediately rushed to the kitchen, and when he came back, he had an extra fruit knife in his hand. I need to confirm a few things. He looked at me as he spoke, and for a moment the atmosphere became very strange.

"What's the matter?" I looked at the knife in his hand and felt uneasy.

Professor Nara suddenly jumped up in front of me and grabbed my right hand without saying a word, and before I could react, he had already slashed my index finger with a fruit knife.

"Do what?" I was immediately a little angry with him, and secretly scolded this dog-like professor for having such an alternative fetish.

He didn't reply, but took the parchment from my hand and put it under my fingers, letting my blood drip down. Strange to say, a scorpion appeared in an instant on the originally empty paper, through such a drop of my blood.

Seeing this, Professor Liang immediately let go of my hand and threw me a band-aid, which I wrapped around the knife.

"What's going on?" I looked at him in surprise.

"To put it simply, the ink on this paper has undergone some special treatment, and only when it encounters special blood will it show the pattern on it." He spoke lightly, but I knew it wouldn't be that simple.

"Yours can't?"

"It's not just me, except for a friend of mine who used to have the surname Ann did this, no matter how much others tried, it was useless."

I was suddenly shocked, my blood has the same effect as his, isn't it?

"If I'm not mistaken, he should have something to do with you, otherwise it would be difficult for a second person with the same blood to appear." The tone in which Professor Liang said this gave people an undoubted sense of solemnity.

relationship? For a while, even I was a little suspicious, if this is really the case, why have I been in an orphanage for so many years, and no one asked?

"What happened to the person you said surnamed Ann?" I asked apprehensively.

"In the early years, he and I were invited to Sichuan to participate in a special archaeology. Unexpectedly, as soon as our staff entered the tomb, they disappeared one after another, and then there were more and more strange things. After the two of us escaped, some blood-colored patches began to spread all over his body, and after a while, he fell into a coma. In between my explorations, he vanished. Professor Liang lowered his head as he spoke, very complaining.

I'll go. So far, Professor Liang has not given me the content of the photo at all, but he has been rambling the conversation to the point of chaos. I always felt like he was leading me into some kind of consciousness.

"Next, do you want to tell me that we can negotiate and make a deal or something?" Let's take all of these things as the real past, but I always feel that Professor Liang has sold such a big deal that he doesn't just want me to hear about it.

"It's not stupid yet. Boy, all of these things I said happened in real times. According to the clues left by my friend, it is likely that he went to the tomb marked on the parchment. So I thought, we can organize it and go over there and see, what do you think? ”

"Not how. Why do you think I'm going to listen to you? "I despised this good professor in my heart, and even wanted to let me rob his tomb with some nonsense? It's whimsical.

As soon as I finished speaking, I immediately stood up, raised my feet and prepared to leave. It was too late, and before I could take a step, Professor Naliang had already rushed over and put a stall in front of me, "Wait, young people don't be so angry." Then he fumbled for a picture from the pocket of his trousers. When he handed me the picture, his hand shook unnaturally. I took the photo disapprovingly and glanced at it casually. But just one glance at me, I was immediately stunned.

In the photo, a young man was holding a child in his arms, smiling very happily. The child is chubby and very cute. The child's appearance was indistinguishable from the photo I had taken when I was two years old.

"The man above, named An Musheng, is the friend I am talking about. As for the child in his arms, no one knows what their relationship is. ”

"I'll go." After a long time, when I sorted out my emotions, I seemed to use all my strength to pop out these two words. I didn't take Professor Liang's word for it, but this picture, whatever information it may provide, is ultimately helpful to the mystery of my origins.

"Okay, let's leave in three days. Gotta assemble my archaeological team. ”

Leaving Professor Liang's residence, I went back to the orphanage and packed my bags. During this period, I met Angel who came back from sick leave to rest, she was still so pure and beautiful, and I looked at her and felt a little sad. I wanted to say goodbye to her, but it was so long in the making that I couldn't say a word. So be it.
