Chapter 6 The hardness of rosin acid and the turbidity of calcium carbonate

When Xiao Chen's gaze met me, my brain unconsciously thought of the record recorded in the "Walking Footnotes" that I had seen before about using Gu magic to control the human body and transform humans into zombies...... If I had to say anything about a key or a clue, it was the only thing I could think of.

"The right side of the human brain is responsible for creating the mind, and when you look to the right, it means lying and thinking, and it seems that you really know something. Let's get straight to the point. Xiao Chen directly interrupted my hesitation and said.

"Uh...... You ......" was seen through by Xiao Chen, and I was embarrassed again. I dodged my eyes, but I saw Jiang Xueqing, Cao Hongli and Tong Xinyi also looking at me in unison. Seeing Jiang Xueqing, my heart couldn't help but speed up a little, if my grandfather's "Walking Footbook" was true, then my mind might really have knowledge that could determine her fate at this moment. Thinking of this, I actually have an inexplicable sense of excitement. Is it something to be excited about being in control of someone else's fate?

"Dongqing, just say what you want to say, the teacher has probably understood Xiao Chen's whole person, although he is not a good person, but he doesn't look like a bad person, even if he wants to do something, teacher, we will help you keep an eye on him, and we will stop him if he wants to mess around...... It's true. Cao Hongli said calmly. This time, her tone was much more affirmative than yesterday, obviously yesterday was because of the unexpected situation that made her flustered and overwhelmed, and today her state is much better.

I nodded, still a little hesitantly:

"Then I'll say it...... Actually, I don't know if it was a clue or not, but my grandfather left me a relic before he died, which was a book...... The book is about raising zombies and stuff like that...... Well, there's a little bit of talk about how to turn ordinary people into zombies and control them......"

Hearing my words, everyone was stunned, especially Han Shaofeng, who opened his mouth wide, while Brother Tong clapped his hands heavily:

"You've watched too many movies, haven't you? Turning ordinary people into zombies? What did your grandfather do, he probably didn't study the T-virus, right? ”

I shook my head:

"That's not it, my grandfather is a Taoist priest, a foot doctor, and he also knows Gu arts...... Wait a minute, I'll show you Grandpa's book. Under the pressure of everyone's gaze, I returned to the room, found the "Footnote" from under the bed, returned to the hall and handed it to Xiao Chen.

When he took my book, Xiao Chen said:

"What I just said about people looking to the right when they lie is fake, in fact, it should be looking to the left. The reason why I lied to you is to make you decide to tell the clues hidden in your heart. After all, man is a creature who only has to tell the truth in his heart when he is seen through. ”

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, I almost vomited blood.

Xiao Chen casually opened the yellowed and wrinkled thread-bound book, flipped through and scanned it with my unbelievable super speed, and in less than a minute, he had finished reading his grandfather's "Walking Footbook".

"Written down, I have roughly understood the content, and I can be sure that this is indeed a folk medicine book, which contains a lot of traditional Chinese medicine techniques, but also a lot of secret recipes about Gu making and poisoning, as well as influencing people's mental and mental manipulation through drugs."

Xiao Chen said, handed the "Footlog" to the others to browse one by one, and then he looked at me while drinking orange water and said:

"Although the creation of zombies is completely unscientific from the perspective of modern molecular biology, especially viruses such as T viruses only exist in movies, viruses in reality are limited by the three laws of genetics, isothermal transmission and other three laws of viruses, and it is impossible for all human beings to become viruses, and the chemical activity of DNA and RNA will basically fail in high temperatures above 100 degrees. Coupled with the fact that the existence of viruses is limited by the rate of reverse transcription and the conversion efficiency and speed of energy intake by its single-stranded RNA template to synthesize base complementary DNA, and by the contradiction that the stronger the virus is, the shorter the lifespan of the infected person and the faster the virus dies, the possibility of controlling and turning all mankind into zombies through viruses or so-called Gu magic is almost non-existent, if the account of creating zombies recorded in this book is true, It can only be said that your grandfather's Gu technique directly broke the law of conservation of energy and the second law of thermodynamics in modern physics. ”

After Xiao Chen said a lot of words that made me smit, he glanced at me and began to muttered to himself again:

"Don't be sleepy, wait until I'm done. In addition to what I just said, your grandfather left clues to the hidden treasure on the last page of the Footbook. ”

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, not only me, but even Han Shaofeng and Brother Tong all looked at him in unison.

"Treasure ...... Hide? ”

"Well, most likely treasure." Xiao Chen said, and took back the "Walking Footnote" from Brother Tong, who was in a daze, and turned directly to the last page, presenting the content of the last page in front of me.

On the last page of the book is a strange insect drawn with a pen, which is a long thread-like worm, connected from end to end into a ring, about seven centimeters long, with a swollen head and a slender body, white all over, and limbs on the body.

And underneath this bug, there is a line of words:

"The deep mountains don't know their names, and the sun and the moon rise together to shine in the sky."

"There is a jade hidden house in the empty valley, and the alien beasts are guarded by one head."

"There are eight deficiencies in the nine scales, warm in winter and cool in summer."

"The two forms interact into one, and the four octagonal Ai have no head."

"The gossip of the Nine Palaces is divided into four points, and the six and four are divided into half and four points."

"Eight is in the north, south and east and west, and the flying spring flows up to its appearance."

"If there is a person who understands my heart, I can get beauty and the world."

Underneath this poem, there is another line of words:

I can't bear that there is no heir to the family technique, so I sent it to someone who is destined.

"Resurrect the dead, the public is angry, control the corpse and take the heart of the Tao."

"Don't lose your heart. Remember, don't, don't, don't. ”

After reciting the poem on the last page of "Footsteps", Xiao Chen said:

"Obviously, this is an anagram poem about where the treasure is buried, and if you solve the riddle of this poem, you will be able to get that treasure."

"As for the bug-like thing on the last page, it looks a lot like Schizocephalic mansoni, which is a relatively rare parasite, maybe it's about creating a zombie pathogen. I suspect that maybe the treasure has something to do with this parasite. Xiao Chen analyzed.

"Hey, that seems interesting." Brother Tong shook his hands and said happily.

Jiang Xueqing frowned, her eyes flashed with crystal brilliance, she pursed her lips, and after a while, she said:

"However, this anagram poem is so obscure that it seems to take time to understand, and it is not easy to unravel it."

Xiao Chen raised his head and glanced at Jiang Xueqing lightly, and said:

"No, I've already untied it."

"Unraveled? So fast! I couldn't help but shout, and at the same time felt a sense of loss in my heart, for my grandfather, I admired him very much since I was a child, thinking that he knew astronomy and geography, and was a very smart character, but I didn't expect the riddle left by my grandfather to be solved by Xiao Chen so easily, which made me a little bored.

"Mystery ...... What is it? Tong Xinyi asked worriedly.

"yes, where is the treasure?"

"The treasure is in the well of the Mingshan Valley." Xiao Chen said lightly, "This anagram poem is very simple. 'The deep mountains do not know their names, and the sun and the moon rise together to shine in the sky. In this couplet, the sun and the moon rise together is a clear character, and this couplet begins with the name of the deep mountain, so it can be guessed that this mountain is likely to be the Ming Mountain. In the first sentence of the empty valley has a jade house, the jade house is a jade word under the head of the treasure cover, which implies that there is a treasure, and the strange beast is removed from the middle of the house, and the different beast is removed from the upper part of the word, and the first head refers to the change of the prefix to one, that is, a tic-tac-toe. As for the following verses, they are actually all alluding to the word 'well'. 'There are eight deficiencies in the nine scales, warm in winter and cool in summer. It refers to the characteristics of the word 'well' and the characteristics of the well water. The two forms interact into one, and the four octagonal Ai have no head. The tic-tac-toe itself is like two two-word interactions, and it has four branches and eight corners, and it is still the mugwort word of wormwood to remove the grass prefix. As for the 'Nine Palaces and Gossip Division, June Fourth takes half and four points. In the nine palace gossip is mentioned, and the rule of the nine palaces is to divide the heavenly palace into nine equal parts: Qiangong, Kan Palace, Gen Palace, Zhen Palace, Middle Palace, Xun Palace, Ligong, Kun Palace, and Dui Palace, which is actually a hint of the well, and half of the six four is thirty-two, and four points are eight, and eight is in the north and south and east and west, which forms a "well" word, and the appearance of the flying spring refers to the shape of the front of the word "well" such as spring water flowing up. ”

In general, this poem is to tell the solver that the treasure is in the well of the Mingshan Valley. It's as easy as that, and elementary school students can do anagrams. ”

I looked at Xiao Chen in a daze, not knowing what to say. I really don't know what the hell is going to stump this man. Of course, at the same time, I also thought of what Xiao Chen said about Mingshan. I know this mountain, because my grandfather's hometown is in the valley of Mingshan, when I was a child, I often wandered in the valley when I went to my grandfather's house, and I also remember very clearly that my grandfather's house had a big dry well, and there was never water in the well, and my grandfather once strictly forbade me to go near the dry well. Now that I think about it, there might be something terrible hidden in that well.

Xiao Chen stared at my face tightly and said, "I think you probably know where Mingshan is, right?" ”

I swallowed heavily, but my heart was pounding, of course I knew the mountain, but should I tell Xiao Chen the address? If my grandfather's Gu magic is true, if you can turn people into zombies with Gu magic, it will really be a crime, if I tell Xiao Chen about that well, after Xiao Chen gets the ability to turn people into zombies, God knows what he will do with his talent. Back then, I was a murderer.

"I ...... I do not know. I haven't heard of this mountain. I shook my head and said resolutely.

"Lies." Xiao Chen directly judged my words, "Forget it, I guess you are not worried about my character, and you are afraid that I will use your grandfather's treasure to do something that violates human ethics and physics, so you refuse to tell me." Hehe. That's okay, I'll just do my own research. Since your grandfather wrote in the poem 'I don't know why the mountain is named', it means that the name of the mountain is new, so it is easy to find it...... Let's start with your grandfather's hometown......"

"Wait a minute." Hearing Xiao Chen's words, my heart tightened, and I hurriedly stood up to stop him.

"How?" Xiao Chen squinted at me.

"Well, you're not wrong...... I know Mingshan, that's my grandfather's hometown, but I'm not at ease with you, I won't give my grandfather's things to you...... If my grandfather's book was true, then you probably would actually turn people into zombies for experiments, and I can't trust people like you. "I clenched my fists and said what I thought from the bottom of my heart.

What makes me unhappy is that even in the face of my naked words, Xiao Chen's expression still hasn't changed much.

"It's not an accident, it's normal to think like this." Xiao Chen said lightly, "But I want to ask you a question: if we can't get your grandfather's treasure, and then we can't complete the mission of Meiyezi in a month, the end of the world is coming, and all mankind is destroyed, which way do you think it's smarter than just turning a few people into zombies?" ”

"I ......" was asked by Xiao Chen, and I was speechless for a while. Indeed, Miyoko said that if our team loses, our world will also be destroyed...... I don't know if Miyoko's words are true, but if it's true, it means that the end of the world will come in a month.

Xiao Chen glanced at me, then began to look around at the others, and said:

"So I asked you if you were pragmatists at the beginning. Are you willing to destroy with all of humanity, or will you sacrifice a few, even a billion, two billion, or even three billion, to preserve the majority of the rest? ”

The invisible silence began to spread in the hall, and I looked at Cao Hongli and Jiang Xueqing, I didn't expect that we would talk about such a heavy topic together again, and we were faced with almost the same choice as the first time.

Xiao Chen's words are very serious, and they have even exceeded the limit of my patience, sacrificing three billion people? If he is so crazy and perverted, he can say it so easily and casually? How strong is this man's heart?

No one spoke, everyone was looking at each other, as if they were waiting for someone else's answer.

Seeing our silence, Xiao Chen added:

"There has never been a way to make everyone happy in this world, the happiness of children is based on the toil of parents, the happiness of rulers, the labor of farmers and producers, the happiness of animals, based on the desperate absorption of sunlight by plants to produce organic matter. Even if all of humanity wants to be happy in the future, it will need to enslave artificial intelligence and make them work hard. In the final analysis, if anything wants to obtain resources and energy, it needs the impetus provided by the previous object, and human beings are destined to be unable to achieve happiness without sacrificing themselves and all at the same time without compensation, which is fundamentally the problem of the conservation of the first impetus and energy transformation, that is, the problem of 'God'. I'm very open to that, so I'm a pragmatist, and I'm able to say so easily about slaughtering three billion people. If you can't, I suggest you adopt a wait-and-see strategy for the time being, at least not to get in the way of my move. If you can't afford to sacrifice others, let me do it alone. ”

Saying that, Xiao Chen stood up, picked up his coat and turned around and walked in the direction of my door, I hurriedly stood up, stepped forward with an arrow, and stopped in front of Xiao Chen first.

"How?" Xiao Chen looked at me and asked calmly.

"I don't understand what you're saying, and I don't approve of it, there's no way to make all mankind happy, I want to beat you up when I hear this kind of thing, do you know?" As I spoke, I glanced at Cao Hongli sitting on the sofa, Cao Hongli taught us political lessons, she once said that our belief is communism, that is, the elimination of exploitation and distribution according to need, but Xiao Chen used inexplicable words such as the first impetus and conservation of energy to deny this belief, which is really difficult for me to accept.

"Dongqing, you're right, the teacher supports you." At this time, Cao Hongli also stood up, standing in front of Xiao Chen with a solemn face, I looked at Cao Hongli with some astonishment, but there was a trace of warmth in my heart.

Cao Hongli glanced at me, nodded, and looked at Xiao Chen again:

"Anyway, if the things in Grandpa Dongqing's book are true, then that treasure of his grandfather may be really dangerous, and no one can keep that kind of thing alone...... Especially you, Xiao Chen, we don't believe you very much, so we can't let you get the things from Grandpa Dongqing's house. I think it's best to leave it to the government or other authority for safekeeping. ”

"Authority?" When Xiao Chen heard Cao Hongli's words, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, and then quickly changed back to calm, "Then the authoritative organization kept that treasure closely and secretly began military research, and we never had the chance to meet or even be wiped out, and then the whole world was buried together a month later?" A woman surnamed Cao, your brain is simply a wooden fish. ”

"What do you say? Will you try again Mr. Cao? I was furious and grabbed Xiao Chen's collar, and Brother Tong and Han Shaofeng also stepped forward and surrounded Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen looked at us indifferently, but unexpectedly, this time, he didn't resist.

"Okay, in that case, we might as well make an agreement."

"What agreement?" Cao Hongli looked at Xiao Chen vigilantly.

"We can go to find the treasure together, after the treasure is found, you will keep it, Chen Dongqing has the ownership of the treasure, and I, as the one who solves the puzzle, I have the right of first refusal, and the other five of you have the right to veto the use of the treasure, as long as three of the five people deny it, I can't use the treasure, how about this?"

"No, why should I believe you?" Brother Tong rolled his eyes and asked.

"You can let Chen Dongqing follow me twenty-four hours a day and keep an eye on me at all times," Xiao Chen said lightly, "The others just need to take turns to supervise us and make sure that the two of us are together." Don't forget that Miyoko said that the death of Chen Dongqing, the captain, means that our team will lose and all of us will die, so it is impossible for me to do anything unfavorable to Chen Dongqing. As long as he supervises me, he can detect me at the first time, find out about my possible misdeeds, and then threaten me with his own life to stop me. And I think my mind and knowledge will also be useful in guiding your future approach to the world. I think such a balanced monitoring mechanism should be very fair. ”

Xiao Chen's proposal didn't turn a corner for a while, and when I figured it out, I realized that Xiao Chen's statement did not have any loopholes, and even that there were no loopholes, he actually used the rules set by Miyoko to make rules. What he said is not wrong, I am now the captain, if I die, our team will lose, Xiao Chen is indeed unlikely to be unfavorable to me......

However, if I really want to achieve the effect that Xiao Chen said, I must dare to threaten him with my own life, and besides, such a proposal still came out of Xiao Chen's mouth, which was not reassuring.

However, even if I refuse Xiao Chen, I can't do anything with him. Xiao Chen already knows the address of my grandfather's treasure, even if we stop him, when he leaves my house, he will go to hunt for the treasure alone, and I can't do anything about him......

I couldn't help but glance at Cao Hongli, Cao Hongli's face also showed a look of deep thought, and after a while, Cao Hongli stepped forward, looked at Xiao Chen and said:

"Your words sound very reasonable, but it is because they come out of your mouth that they are unsettling. Anyway, that's all there is to it, but if you have any ideas, I advise you to give up as soon as possible, and if you do something bad for us, we will give you a good look. ”

As he spoke, Cao Hongli turned his head to look at me and said:

"Dongqing, what do you think? The teacher felt that this condition could still be agreed to for the time being. ”

Facing Cao Hongli's gaze, although I was a little hesitant, I still nodded. I have always listened to Cao Hongli in class, and she is the oldest of all of us except Xiao Chen, and as an adult who has entered society, her judgment is much more mature than mine.

In this way, most of us decided to go to my grandfather's hometown, and I proposed to let Tong Xinyi stay, because she was a girl, or the youngest among us, it was better not to participate in this kind of thing, but to my surprise, Tong Xinyi was actually more resolute than I thought, and shouted that she wanted to go, but she was worried at home alone, so I had to agree to Tong Xinyi.

After going to the grocery store and buying items such as nylon rope, igniter, plastic gloves, shovels and flashlights, our group immediately set off to the station to buy tickets for the long-distance train, and arrived at my grandfather's hometown, Mingshan in about two hours.

I haven't been back here for some years since my grandfather died, and my grandfather's house is still in tatters, with red bricks corroded by rain and green vines on the outside.

Soon I found the well at my grandfather's house, and when I lifted the manhole cover, I saw the dense spider silk at the mouth of the well.

Xiao Chen burned the spider silk at the mouth of the well with a wooden stick wrapped in strips of cloth, and then threw the burning wooden stick into the well.

"Why did you throw the stick in?" I looked at Xiao Chen's actions and asked puzzled.

"There may be a lack of oxygen in a well that has been closed for many years, and if we go down rashly, it will only be a dead end, and it is easiest to test the oxygen concentration of the air at the bottom of the well with fire. At the same time, the depth and water content of the well can also be tested. Xiao Chen explained lightly, "It seems that this well is about ten meters deep, and it should be very spacious underneath, so the oxygen concentration is very high, and there may be a secret passage or another exit." ”

Xiao Chen looked back at us and said:

"Chen Dongqing, I'll go down with you, Inoue will ensure that at least four or more people are waiting so that we can be pulled up. Even if there is an accident, you can call the police immediately and save us. ”

"Why should I go down with you?" I looked at Xiao Chen with some unease, "What if you snatch the treasure?" ”

"Fool, even if I rob the treasure, will I still be able to grow wings and fly out of the well?" Xiao Chen said disdainfully, "If I wait outside the well, you will worry about me cutting the rope, right?" ”

I have to say that although Xiao Chen's guy is annoying, what he said is logical and clear, and it seems extremely correct, which is difficult to refute.

After a brief discussion, the others still agreed to use a nylon rope to let Xiao Chen and I go down, Xiao Chen was the first, and I was the second. The other four were pulling the nylon rope on top and holding their phones at the same time in case of accidents.

In this way, Xiao Chen and I were successively lowered into the well. To be honest, although I have experienced things beyond my common sense, I am still a little excited to experience the experience of treasure hunting for the first time.

The well was so deep that when I looked up with my feet at the bottom of the well, it was so dark that I wouldn't have been able to see his face if it weren't for the burning sticks on the ground.

"There's a sliding door here." Xiao Chen illuminated one side of the well wall with a fire stick, and I squinted my eyes to take advantage of the situation, and sure enough, I saw a door made of stone on the wall of the well.

Could this really be the secret room that my grandfather built during his lifetime? No wonder he never let me go near this well before, it turns out that there is such a secret under the well. I couldn't help but be a little excited, and at the same time admired Xiao Chen a little, because now it seems that this guy's solved anagram is correct.

There is a handle on the stone door, Xiao Chen stepped forward and pulled it away, after the stone door opened, there was actually a one-meter-wide corridor behind it, Xiao Chen looked at the scene inside with a high-light flashlight, handed me a mask, and then motioned for me to enter the door together.

"There's a passage below, Xiao Chen and I go in and have a look!" After signaling to the people in Inoue, Xiao Chen and I entered the corridor.

The tunnel is deeper than I thought, and it's still a little damp, I don't know if it's from the underground river.

Xiao Chen and I walked in the corridor one after the other, keeping silent and vigilant, and after walking a few meters, Xiao Chen suddenly asked me:

"You like Jiang Xueqing, right?"

I was startled, and my hand holding the flashlight trembled.

"What do you mean?"

Xiao Chen said softly:

"It's just from the look in your eyes that you look at Jiang Xueqing every time before making a decision, and it's obvious that you care a lot about what she thinks of you. And I also heard that her father is your father's boss, and your father works as a security guard at her house, so it hasn't been a day or two since you and she got to know her. ”

"You have to take care of it." I coughed and said impatiently, "Jiang Xueqing is the class flower of our class, and there are more people in the class who like her." I just think she's ...... It's just good looking. Isn't that abnormal? ”

"Normal. Beauty is a measure of an individual's health, and from a biological point of view, the organism yearns for the healthy and well-nourished heterosexual instinct, because it is conducive to ensuring that its offspring have improved vocal ability. Xiao Chen said.

"Go, less coming, another lot of Rory's rambling theories, you think you're the smartest in the world? Pretty is beautiful, just a feeling is enough, so much interesting? "I don't disdain to be authentic.

"Huh." Xiao Chen smiled and didn't say anything more. "I still appreciate your character. Especially your answer yesterday about the fire. ”

"How?" I asked rhetorically.

When I asked, Xiao Chen suddenly fell silent and stopped.

My heart tightened, and I stopped.

"You know what? My dad was killed by God. Xiao Chen said lightly, but this time, his tone was full of compassion and sorrow.

"Huh? Your dad...... Killed by God? I don't understand...... What do you mean? I wondered.

"It doesn't hurt to tell you." Xiao Chen started walking again, and said as he walked, "My dad is an internist, in the days when he was alive, he operated on a total of seventy-six people, and saved a total of seventy-three people, and even if it was a poor person who couldn't afford surgery, my dad was willing to pay for it himself, and even sold a batch of antiques in my family a few times in order to raise money, my family background is not bad, but because of my good old father, there is not much left in the family's property and even once in debt." In this world, there is really no better good old man than my dad. Hehe. ”

I listened to Xiao Chen's narration and couldn't help but be a little surprised, was what Xiao Chen said true? Is his father really such a good person who does not want to reciprocate for kindness?

"But such a good old man, do you know how he died?" Xiao Chen's tone suddenly became serious and ruthless, "Sixteen years ago, there was a fire in a hospital in Shanghai, at that time, my father was on duty in the hospital, and there were ten people trapped in two wards on the east and west sides of the hospital. Rescuing someone in one ward means giving up someone in another, you know, what was the choice of the fire brigade chief who was in charge of the rescue at that time? ”

I was silent and didn't answer Xiao Chen's words, because I had been shocked by him, and I really didn't expect him to have such a tragic life.

"The captain of the fire brigade, who was in charge of the on-site command at the time, made the same choice as you did yesterday." Xiao Chen said lightly, "That's to throw coins." ”

"As a result, I don't think I need to say more, right?" Xiao Chen sneered, "It's the so-called 'God' who took my father's life." That's why I hate the word God the most in my life. I hate even more people who dare to claim to be God, especially that Miyoko. She is nothing compared to the real God. At best, he's just a ridiculously naΓ―ve superpower. ”

Xiao Chen's words made me speechless, because I can understand Xiao Chen's feelings very much, because I haven't had a mother since I was a child, of course I know the hardships of a single-parent family, and if it were my father who died in the fire, I am afraid that this kind of thing would be even more unacceptable.

Is this world really a world where good people are rewarded? Xiao Chen's father has done a lot of good deeds in his life, but he still ended up like this, and sentenced him to death with a coin casually...... I couldn't accept it for a while.

"Didn't you say that it's possible that Miyoko is spying on our minds...... If you say this about her, aren't you afraid that she will kill you like she killed Gao Tianfeng? ”

"She won't kill me, because now that the game has begun, if she kills me, it will upset the balance of power between the game teams. Miyoko chose fifty people to the unrestricted free space instead of forty-nine at the beginning, which shows that she was ready to make an example from the beginning. Xiao Chen said lightly.

"You...... So sure? ”

"Sure. Judging from my current evaluation of you and the other five people, none of you are extraordinary, nor do you have any special backgrounds and abilities, and even in my eyes, the six of you are simply full of loopholes and vulnerable. Xiao Chen said unceremoniously, "I can even guarantee that if it weren't for me, it would be a matter of minutes for you to die in the hands of other teams." ”

I frowned, clenched my fists, and said:

"If you say this kind of thing again, you're welcome to say it again."

"Whatever you want, but I'm telling the truth. If you underestimate the other teams, I'm afraid that in the end, you won't even know how you died. Xiao Chen said slowly, "The people in the other teams are not idle. Chen Dongqing, do you think I'm a smart person? ”

"Why do you want me to praise you? Don't be so stinky, okay? ”

"Objectively speaking." Xiao Chen said lightly.

"Okay, I'll admit you're in good shape, okay?" I'm not happy to say it.

"Yes, I can be considered smart to you, at least I can think of a lot of questions that you can't think of in a short time. However, in the unrestricted free space, I knew that there were at least two people who were as capable as me...... Maybe maybe it's not just two people, if you count the little boy......"

"The little boy? You mean the little foreign boy who asked Miyoko an inexplicable question? I rubbed the back of my head and asked, "What's wrong with that little boy?" ”

"I can't tell, maybe I'm thinking too much...... That little boy doesn't seem to me to be smart, but I have to admit that if it weren't for the foreign boy's fluent Chinese, I wouldn't have been so inspired by the many Chinese questions involved in Miyoko's conversation with us, and I wouldn't have guessed so quickly that Miyoko was sending information to our brains, nor would I have thought about the possibility that Miyoko might be monitoring our brains at all times...... It can be said that the speculation I made about Miyoko monitoring our brains was originally inspired by that little boy......"

Xiao Chen said as he walked, just when I was still thinking about the little boy in the unrestricted free space, I suddenly found that the space around me had become wider, and Xiao Chen and I were in a grotto, and at the end of the grotto, there was a stone niche, and in the stone niche, there was a small stone bowl. When Xiao Chen and I approached the stone niche and illuminated the stone bowl with a flashlight, we found that there were a large pile of red stones in the stone bowl, densely arranged like insect eggs, the number reached hundreds, the largest of which was the size of a child's fist, and all the red stones looked like a red agate.

Under the light of the flashlight, the red stone shines brightly, giving off a warm glow.

"It is a clumping red pine resin, the main components are rosin acid and pepper acid, which is viscous, and will become very hard after oxidation reaction with calcium carbonate, which can be used to make hanging ornaments and fake amber." Xiao Chen approached the red stone and confirmed it after shining it with a flashlight. "And, obviously, your grandfather has hidden his most important treasure in these pine resins."

As he spoke, Xiao Chen took out the largest piece of the red stone and presented it in front of me, and then pierced it with the light of the flashlight.

By the bright light, I squinted and saw a long white worm curled up the length of a finger in the red pine resin.
