Chapter 6: The History of Pallas
Mo Beitian was extremely frightened, he didn't know if what he was seeing now was a human or a ghost. "Xiaoxue, is that you? Are you here to ask for my life? Mo Beitian felt himself choked up a little.
Xiaoxue in the shadows didn't answer him.
"Xiaoxue, tell me if I killed you? Is it me!? Mo couldn't control himself anymore, and tears came out of his eyes.
Xiaoxue in the shadows still didn't answer him. She just watched quietly as Mo Yantian gradually disappeared into the sunlight.
Mo was half-kneeling on the ground, at this time he was already crying, he desperately beat the ground with his hands to vent all this, but in addition to the pain in his heart, he exchanged for a trace of comfort. People are like this, when their hearts are hurt, they often destroy their bodies in search of psychological comfort, but they forget that doing so will only bring double the physical and mental pain. After ten minutes, Mo Beitian slowly lowered his head, and he stopped crying. It's not that he doesn't want to cry anymore, it's that the tears have dried up. He didn't know if he was crying for Xiaoxue or for himself. What happened on this day was so strange, he was wronged, he was kidnapped by a mysterious person, and his friend came to the rescue but said that he never knew his wife
Mo Beitian gradually calmed down, he was not stupid, he thought that he should be able to straighten out these things. So far, Mo Beitian still can't believe that it was he who killed Xiaoxue. Maybe what he saw just now was just Xiaoxue's phantom, but maybe it was a hint that everything that happened to him was related to Xiaoxue. He had been to the dark chamber, he had seen the alloy door, and he had been interrogated by a mysterious man. Whether Xiao Xue is dead or not, whether her death is related to herself, or even whether Xiao Xue really exists, these things involve her, which means that Xiao Xue is the key to solving these mysteries!
So first of all, you must confirm whether Xiaoxue really exists. Mo Beitian always thought that he was not crazy, even if he was a little hysterical in the secret room, it didn't mean that he couldn't distinguish the real from the fake. Mo Yitian can be sure that Xiaoxue really exists. His aiqing with her is real, they fall in love and get married, and the sweetness and happiness they experience cannot be fake. So, since Xiaoxue's existence can be confirmed, the next step is to find out if Xiaoxue is dead.
Thinking of this, Mo Zhitian stood up abruptly and said loudly, "Teleport me to the storage room!" At this time, the door not far away opened automatically, and Mo Yitian stepped on the conveyor belt, and he was teleported to the storage room. At this time, he found that Xiaoxue's clothes and shoes were missing in the storage room! "Teleport me to the living room!" Mo Zhitian shouted. The conveyor belt was activated again, and Mo was teleported to the living room again. When Mo Beitian looked around at the scene in the living room, he couldn't help but gasp. The items related to Xiaoxue in the living room are gone! Yes, all gone! Mo Bantian searched the entire house, whether it was the size of the bedroom, the living room, the kitchen, the office or even the bathroom, and came to a conclusion, which can prove that everything that Xiaoxue lived in this house has disappeared!
Who did this? Are they weishenme going to do this? Don't be puzzled. If it's those who have interrogated themselves, aren't they going to convict me? Wouldn't the disappearance of these things mean that Xiaoxue had never lived here at all? How can I be convicted in this way? Obviously it shouldn't be them, so who should it be? It's almost like to explode!
Xiaoxue is here now, and her things are not here, where will she go? At this moment, Mo Yitian suddenly thought of a person-Situ Heshi! Xiaoxue's father, Situ Heshi, is also the teacher of Mo Bitian and Paul. If Xiaoxue was murdered or disappeared, then the first person to know should be him, if Xiaoxue's disappearance is a conspiracy, then he should also know the truth about it. If you go to Situ Heshi, you should be able to find Xiaoxue's whereabouts. Thinking of this, Mo Yantian hurriedly changed his clothes and walked out of the house.
The streets of Pallas are bustling with traffic today, and everyone is heading out in time for such good weather. Mo Yitian didn't have the heart to care about this, he was rushing to Situ Heshi's private library one by one. Heaven knows that Mr. Situ is obsessed with academics, especially history. In order to be able to study his subject all day, he always stayed in the library tube, which contained the materials he had collected from all over Shijie.
When Mo Beitian stood in front of the door of the library, he hesitated. On weekdays, Situ Heshi always smokes a pipe while flipping through the pages of his books that have long been yellowed. Will Stuto and Sitz still be there today? If he knew that Xiaoxue was dead, he wouldn't still be in the library, right? According to human nature, Mr. Situ should be in pain at this time, and it is unlikely that he will still soak here to study his ancient books. But now that you're here, you should go in and have a look, right? Mo looked up at the two-story building, one of the few ancient buildings preserved in Pallas, and it is said to be more than 500 years old. More than 300 years earlier than the end times! What an antique! Mr. Situ does not like high technology, because he prefers old things because of the study of history, he does not use any scientific and technological products, and he lives like a person who is a century older. However, he is a man worthy of respect, both as a teacher and as a father-in-law.
Mo Yitian knocked lightly on the door of the library, and after a long pause, no one came to open the door. He knocked on the door a few more times, but no one answered. The angel pushed the door hard, and the door creaked and creaked, and with this unpleasant sound, the door was opened—it was not locked!
Mo Beitian was a little surprised, and he walked into the door gently. After entering the door, there is a long corridor, and at the end of the corridor is Mr. Situ's library. When he was in school, Mo Beitian and Paul often came here to help Mr. Situ sort out the materials, and later after graduating from work, Mo Beitian came less often, but as long as he was free, he would still visit him here. Mo Bantian is still here to propose to Xiaoxue in front of the old gentleman! The hallway seemed empty now. The ground was covered with dust, and the ceiling was covered with cobwebs, and it felt like no one had been here for a long time. It's strange, obviously I was here last week, weishenme will be like this? Mo Beitian began to be alert when he thought of this, he always felt that there was something strange here.
When he walked into the library, he was shocked again! All the shelves in the huge library were empty. In the past, there were at least 10,000 books on display.
Mo couldn't believe his eyes. He walked around the bookshelves, each one covered in dust, and it was as if no one had been here in a long time, just like the hallway. Mo went around the bookshelf and came to Mr. Situ's office desk. The piles of books and parchment on the desk are gone! There was only one book on the desk more than two meters long, which was the book "History Before the Republic" written by Mr. Situ.
All the books of Weishenme were removed, leaving only this book? Mo Beitian had some doubts, but he had enough doubts this day, so his doubts about the book flashed in his mind. Mo Feitian held the book in both hands, the cover of the book was very clean, as if someone had flipped through it not long ago, which was completely different from the situation of other things in this room. Mo opened the first page of the book at random, and strangely enough, the page had this sentence written on it: If you want to know the truth, please turn to page 131. This sentence is handwritten, apparently added later. Looking at the handwriting, it doesn't look like Mr. Situ's, nor is it the font of anyone you know.
Mo Beitian suddenly felt a glimmer of hope, could it be that the truth mentioned above was related to what he had encountered? Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to open the number of pages in the conversation. The title reads: The Origin of Pallas.
It seems that this chapter is written about the history of the city of Pallas. Mo Beitian felt a little disappointed, it seemed that the truth could not be here. But on second thought, maybe there was some code in it. Thinking of this, he read it carefully:
Pallas is a mythical figure invented in the Age of Ignorance, and is generally believed to be the daughter of the river god Triton, but there are many theories about her origins, but most of these theories are related to war. She was killed by Athena, the ancient Greek goddess of wisdom and war, who regretted it and named her Pallas in her honor. Athena. The unjustly killed Pallas Zuihou was forgotten, time diluted everything, and history became a legend. The city of Pallas, as its name suggests, is a city full of grievances. It was originally a piece of land for the ancient civilizations of the East, and when the end of the war entered the third year, the warring parties gradually formed an alliance for profit. Entente alliances were established led by the West, North America, and the island nations of the Pacific Rim. The hinterland of Asia, North Asia, Eastern Europe, Africa and South America have become self-defence parties. In this way, after several major battles between the Entente and the Contracting States, both sides were demoralized. They decided to sign a peace treaty, which is now Pallas. However, it is not known whose plot it was, and during the signing ceremony, someone shot and killed the signatory representatives of both sides. The Entente and the signatories accused each other of treachery, and a decisive battle broke out here. This battle was later called: "The Battle of the River of Blood". Because Pallas was in the upper reaches of a great river, due to the numerous casualties in the whole battle, according to incomplete statistics, a total of nearly three million casualties on both sides in a week from the beginning to the end of the battle, the blood stained the river red, and the people downstream called it the river of blood when they saw the blood flowing downstream. After the establishment of the republic, people gradually abandoned the original racial and national prejudices. People were allowed to keep the surnames and habits of the original country, but the original country no longer existed, and when it was rezoned as an administrative region, the land was named "Pallas", precisely to commemorate the souls of those who died unjustly, to remind future generations of the tragedy of Pallas, and to warn people not to make the same mistake again. (Later, after the efforts of the Republic, the mastermind of the shooting incident that was the trigger for the tragedy was not found, and the matter was over.) )
This concludes this chapter. Mo Beitian looked at it carefully a few more times, but he didn't find anything special. Weishenme says the truth is here? What the hell is going on? Mo Yantian couldn't figure it out. Isn't the person who wrote this referring to this book, the one hundred and thirty-one pages of the other books? Probably not? What kind of clue is this?
Just when Mo was puzzled, a voice came from behind him: "Don't move!" Otherwise, one shot will kill you! ”
