40. The letter of the future
Qin Weiguo's office was transparent and bright, his thin figure stood at the window with his back to me, I noticed that his shoulders trembled slightly because of excitement, but suddenly he turned around and looked at me without hesitation, his facial expression was as usual, and even a shallow smile, I instantly felt chills all over my body, and understood what terrifying self-control is.
To be honest, my greatest wish when I hear this is to run away immediately, I don't want to know the truth, I want to go back to my Trinidad and Tobago to be a good citizen, and I will not have any more intersections with Qin Weiguo in my life, I am not afraid that he will strangle me, but to escape the terrible second character he has created in the extreme. He's human...... Will he be able to handle such pressure?
"The number 1983," Qin Weiguo's voice sounded low and old, "is the most recent of all the incomprehensible dates in the Vietnamese tomb inscriptions that I have at the time, and no one knows what will happen in that year." Back in Beijing, the teacher's research manuscript was secretly extracted and handed over to me, and I began to be responsible for forming a prehistoric text decipherment research team, oh yes, this is also because of the recommendation letter left by the teacher. I named it '083', which represents 1983, which is the origin of the name of the current 083 organization. At the time, I didn't think that 1983 would be extraordinary. ”
I was born in 1983...... I suppressed my tight breathing and couldn't help but think, but I wasn't sure if the extraordinary meaning of what Qin Weiguo said was related to me. I suddenly wondered about Qin Weiguo's attitude towards me, I have always been very equal, in fact, I can't be equal to him, his age, knowledge, experience, etc. are not at all beyond my reach. Qin Weiguo's bland statement continued, and I let go of my thoughts, passively following his train of thought, immersed in the past decades ago.
With the continuous decipherment of prehistoric texts, the cave wall inscriptions found in the ancient tombs of Vietnam became more and more bizarre and incredible after a few years, and in 1979, another main line in progress at the same time was entangled in historical research, the cultural relics brought out from the ancient tombs of Vietnam were repeatedly organized and identified, and the most advanced carbon-14 dating at that time was also imported from abroad at a large price, and the age of the burial goods was concentrated more than 1600 years ago, that is, the Eastern Jin Dynasty of the Central Plains Dynasty, which was in southwest China and northern Vietnam. Most of Myanmar is the power of King Luo Dian, so the "murderer" who killed Professor Ma and used a lot of financial resources to build the ancient tomb in Vietnam is most likely to be King Luo Dian. A group of historians and expeditions drove into the Niuerling area of Yunnan, the birthplace of King Luodian, and the information obtained was kept strictly secret by 083, in an effort to solve the mystery of King Luodian's prophet.
This is the only clue other than the cave wall inscription, which is still being discovered by the 083 branch in Kunming until now, but after the translation of the cave wall inscription came out, it seems to be less important.
Except for Qin Weiguo, no one has mastered the entire translation, Qin Weiguo mastered and pieced together everyone's research results word by word, and the previous conjectures about the future gradually surfaced, to be precise, the cave wall text was a letter from the future...... Letter of Help.
So far, Qin Weiguo doesn't know what era this letter came from and what happened in that era, but he only knows that if he does not stop the inheritance of the prophet in his lifetime, the future human race will suffer unimaginable disasters.
"I don't know what nationality this future person is, what is his name, secretly call him 'Little John'......" Qin Weiguo suddenly showed a childlike innocent smile. I vaguely felt that John Jr. seemed to be the name of the protagonist of a foreign science fiction novel, but I couldn't remember it in my head.
The expression on Qin Weiguo's face became solemn, "If there is a chief director for the whole incident, in fact, it is Little John, I am just an executor, he only needs to arrange our future according to their history...... Do you understand? ”
Qin Weiguo paused for a long time when he said this, leaving me a period of confusion to ponder. I gradually came out that any action of anyone today is a history that has already happened in the distant future, and we don't know what will happen tomorrow, and little John can, if it looks like this, the real prophet is probably little John, who has no blind spot that he doesn't know about our future. It's as if modern people go back thousands of years to ancient times, whether it is the change of dynasty they are about to face, or the war of the magnitude and magnitude, as long as we know history, we will know a thing.
Qin Weiguo's next story made me believe that no matter whether Qin Weiguo or Little John, their brains weigh at least 50% more than mine. Little John used the technology of their time to record some "instructions" recorded in prehistoric texts through time somewhere thousands of years ago, such as an ancient tomb excavated in the eighties and nineties of the last century, or in a cave under the belly of a mountain opened by a tunnel project, and the mysterious prehistoric characters that only Qin Weiguo could understand in the world would eventually be placed in front of him in the name of archaeological research.
Now, I finally understand where the information that prompted us to get out of trouble in the belly of the mountain that no one had set foot in a few days ago came from, and on the other hand, Little John must have informed Qin Weiguo of the time and place of our trapping earlier, but he used modern simplified Chinese characters to communicate with us...... I suddenly thought of another thing, "Professor Qin, what about those books you wrote......"
Qin Weiguo was stunned for a moment, and then smiled knowingly, "It has no value, it's just a tool to transmit information to the future." ”
Another mystery is solved, Qin Weiguo's books can neither make money nor become famous, all the content is cover, and the most important part of each book is the illustrations of prehistoric texts that no one can understand, which records the information he left for the future. It was enough for him to make sure that the book would last for a long time, and the best way to do that was to keep it permanently in libraries all over the country and possibly abroad.
Wutong walked in lightly, whispered to Qin Weiguo for a while, and re-brewed tea, which gave me a chance to pull out my own thinking from Qin Weiguo's memories, I began to slowly appreciate Qin Weiguo's struggle and impatience for most of his life, this is a real fate that cannot be changed, little John knows everything about Qin Weiguo from the first moment, not only Qin Weiguo, as long as people in the future are willing, they can know the process and ending of each of our modern people's lives, that for them, it is just history. They may be able to change, but we can only bear it.
