If the other is eliminated, the dragon group will lose control of the situation.

"Madame, I'm going back. I said.

If she can't make a decision, it's useless to keep going.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xia, I've been thinking about how to implement your suggestion. You don't know, my current position is already in jeopardy, and those two are the black and white impermanence that holds my future and destiny in hand. If I take one more wrong step, I will probably be reduced to a common man, without a single soldier around me, and I will never be able to do anything for the country in the future. That kind of situation is probably what you don't want to see, right?" said Mrs. Hong.

Of course, I don't want to see my loyal ministers demoted, and if my suggestion is implemented, it will definitely bring great credit to Mrs. Hong. The relationship between gains and losses is very delicate, and I can still feel that.

"Come up with a way, right now, okay?" I slowed down.

"How likely is it that the Lord of the Shark is on land and in Jinan—we all know very well, very little, infinitely close to zero, don't we? You and I both know that this is a gamble. From the first day I joined the Dragons, I vowed not to gamble anymore, and everything must be sure to be 80% sure before advancing, 90% sure to do my best, and 100% sure and 100% success rate to bet on the whole market. Gambling is bound to lose, this is the law, and it is not something that can be broken by just one person jumping out. In that case, the proverbs, afterwords, and people's experience summed up by China's 5,000-year-old culture will be in vain. Mrs. Hong added.

"If you don't bet, forget it. I said gloomily.

Now, Mrs. Hong's mind is in turmoil under the attack of internal and external troubles. I know that Cha Yuan's death has dealt a huge blow to her.

"Give me a little more time. She said.

I shook my head and silently went out.

Unexpectedly, Knife Face and Scar are outside the door. They're talking about something, see me come out, shut up together.

I ignored them and turned left to go back to my room.

"Hey, come here. Bladeface called me out without politeness.

I stood in silence in a bit of a daze, but did not go to them.

They couldn't call me, so they had to come over.

"Come with me to a place. Scar said.

"Where?" I asked.

The knife face scolded: "You'll know when you go, you shouldn't ask, don't ask more." ”

I shook my head: "I'm tired, I'm afraid I can't accompany you, goodbye two." Moreover, I have another sentence, since everyone cooperates so hard, it is better to end the cooperation and go our separate ways. ”

Actually, I had already made up my mind to go back to my room and rest for a while, and then leave the Palace Hotel immediately.

The dragon group is helpless, I put forward a good suggestion and Mrs. Hong doesn't adopt it, what's the use of staying any longer?

"Young man, dissipate qi, qi hurts the liver. Now, come with me and solve our common problems. Scar said.

I didn't know whether to trust him or not, until Mrs. Hong came out and whispered to me, "Mr. Xia, follow along, this is the best opportunity, don't miss it." They are nobles to many people, and I believe that this time it will be yours as well. ”

Dao Tiao's face sneered: "Don't talk too much, how can you talk here?"

Mrs. Hong blushed, quietly retreated, and stood aside.

I don't believe the two people in front of me, but I'm willing to believe Mrs. Hong.

"Okay, I'll go with you. I nodded.

This time, as soon as I followed the two of you down to the second basement floor by elevator, I was put on an eye patch and earplugs, and my hands were moved behind my back and buckled with nylon ropes, as if I had been kidnapped and held hostage.

I didn't resist or make a noise, just because Mrs. Hong once told me that there was no harm in following them, only good.

The group got into the car, and sitting next to me were two big men, who clamped me so tightly that I couldn't move.

The car drove for a while, and someone stopped the car outside for inspection.

When the windows were lowered, I could smell the strong smell of gun polish coming from the guns. The interrogators spoke all code names and code words, except that the passwords were all Arabic numerals, and they couldn't understand what they meant.

Four more times after the same check, I heard the barking of wolfdogs, and more than one.

Later, the car stopped, and two big men dragged me out of the car and into the elevator.

Eventually, someone removed my blindfold and pushed me to sit down in a chair, locking my arms to the left and right armrests.

It was a very simple interrogation room, with one table, three chairs, and then the iron-locked chair I was sitting on. On the right wall are more than a dozen torture instruments, and on the left wall is a large one-way see-through glass. I'm sure someone must be staring at me from behind the glass at this moment.

Before the interrogator arrived, I adjusted my breathing, changed to a slightly more comfortable sitting position, and waited for the interrogation to begin.

Soon, five people rushed in. The first two are Knife Face and Scar, the last two are Americans, and the last one turns out to be a beard.

"Mr. Xia, our conversation can begin. Scar said.

In this case, I have nothing to say, just wait for them to pronounce the sentence. So, I sneered, "In this case, what do you want me to talk about? What do you want when you kidnap me?"

Scar waved his hand and ordered: "Untie Mr. Xia, how can you use such means to deal with Mr. Xia? He is our honored guest, and he must be replaced by a guest of honor." ”

He pretended to be a pretend, which really made me uncomfortable.

No one showed up, and no one took the initiative to open the restraints on my arms for me.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. I said.

The bearded man smiled without saying a word, and crossed his arms to watch the play. The eyes of the other two Americans were constantly circling around me, guessing my true identity.

"This is a truly transnational cooperation that is as historic as the U.S. Air Force helped China build the Flying Tigers in World War II. That time it was the United States helping China, and this time it was the United States and China cooperating to deal with the master of the sharks. Scar said.

I struggled slightly, frowning slightly, so that everyone could see my helpless expression.

"Let Mr. Xia go, why didn't anyone hear it?" Scar called out the door.

No one came in the door, and he was just putting on a show.

"Okay, okay, I'll untie Mr. Xia. The bearded man walked forward.

We had only seen each other in the video before, but we didn't expect him to arrive in Jinan so soon, and he had a strong momentum of anti-guest.

"No, let's do it. "The two Americans suddenly rushed forward and pressed my shoulders left and right.

The bearded man immediately explained: "Mr. Xia, please don't worry, the two of them are experts in spring water analysis, and both have the highest level of expert certificates issued by the United Nations Hydrological Organization. They are not thaumaturgists, nor are they charlatans, just seasoned specialists. ”

Their hands pressed over my shoulder for a moment, and almost simultaneously they took out their camouflage-handled military magnifying glasses and examined them at my temples.

I was at their mercy, neither speaking nor moving.

For a long time, an American said, "Swap places." ”

Then, the two of them switched left to right, right to left, all reversed, and double-checked my ears again.

"Based on the available information, we are sure that Mr. Xia has that kind of miraculous gene in his body. It's interesting and important to make sure that we can track the target under Mr. Xia's leadership. However, more than half of Jinan's existing famous springs are no longer worthy of their name, so I can only select the most representative ones from a few parks in the central area of the city. The merman is wise, and we must investigate everything in detail in order to find the flaws of the other party. The Americans said.

Next, they helped me untie it, with no strings attached.

Although I was freed, the interrogation continued, and the five men did not want to simply let me go.

"If you're in charge of the scrutiny, where and where do you go next?" Scar asked.

It seems that they have agreed with me and allowed me to investigate, but with the help of the power provided in secret.

Without the slightest hesitation, I immediately replied: "Of course, we will first investigate the three core areas, Baotu Spring, Black Tiger Spring and Daming Lake. ”

The first two locations are where the springs are at their grandest, while the latter is where the springs converge, and they are both very important.

"If we only have enough power to search one area, which one should we choose?" Scar asked.

I still gave the answer for the first time: "Black Tiger Spring area." ”

"Why?" Scar asked.

"There is the most popular place for Jinan people to draw springs, on the south stairs, is the famous Sili Street, the environment is quiet, the scenery is picturesque. Although there are many livable places in Jinan, Sili Street is definitely one of the best, surpassing several newly built brand-name communities. If I were the lord of the merman, I would choose to stay there. I said.

The five exchanged glances, and Scar said, "I agree with Mr. Xia, but I don't know if you agree?"

With the exception of the bearded man, the other four agreed.

The bearded man said: "The area of Black Tiger Spring is very narrow, and there are many tourists, so the results may not be credible." I think that since both sides have brought people and horses, and there are enough people to arrange it, it is better to check the three places together, in no particular order. Once a breakthrough is made in a certain place, then the troops will unite and make a breakthrough. ”

This is actually my true thought, the faster the assault, the less chance the merman lord will be transferred.

"It is precisely because of the large number of tourists that I have repeatedly stressed the difficulty. "And we can only do this quietly, and we must not cause chaos among the people." ”

The bearded man waved his hand: "If you say this, don't we have to search?" The panic of the common people is one thing, and it is another thing to know that the lord of the merman is another, and the two things cannot be confused. Please note that we are planning this as envoys of the two countries, not just chatter. As I said, my opinion is to represent the national will of the United States of America, and even if you disagree, I will do so. ”

"Don't forget, this is China's territory, and when it comes to American law, it's outdated. Scar's voice grew grim.

When the contradictions between these five people intensified, none of them could convince the other, and each insisted on his own point of view and demanded that the other obey.

I stood on the sidelines, my head as big as a fight.

"It's impossible to do it according to China's rules, your level of science and technology is ......," the two American scientists laughed.

"Well, then, please. Scar raised his hand to see off the guest.

"Believe me, with your technical strength, you will definitely not be able to track down the Lord of the Sharks in the end, and you will miss this best opportunity to destroy the Lord of the Sharks in vain. The bearded man stroked his beard and laughed.

"Questions of principle cannot be changed. Scar sneered.

"So, let's go. The bearded man turned back and nodded to the two scientists.

"We're here for nothing?" the two scientists looked at each other with incredulous expressions.

"Unless...... Unless Mr. Xia is on our side and is willing to follow us automatically. He was a citizen of a great country and had supreme personal freedom. Therefore, it is impossible for anyone to restrict his personal liberty during the non-control period. The bearded man glanced at me out of the corner of his eye.

I thought for a moment, and immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay, I am willing to leave with your faction, but I must first ask for the consent of my own leaders." ”

Scar immediately couldn't sit still, because it was obvious that if he didn't say anything, I would follow the bearded man and leave, frustrating all his long-held plans and losing all opportunities.

"You-" Scar shut up after saying just one word.

"Mr. Xia, I can see that you are a thaumaturgical genius, but geniuses will also be worn out, just like the ancient text "Hurt Zhongyong". If you can't catch up quickly while you're young, you'll end up as a worthless old uncle. Therefore, come with me now, so that you will not regret it in the future. "The bearded man is a good man.

"Goodbye. "I say goodbye to Scar.

At first, Scar didn't mean to stop me, but when I walked to the door of the interrogation room with the bearded man and two American scientists, he suddenly shouted, "Slow, slow." ”

The bearded man stopped, but what Scar said: "All agreements are null and void, we must consider national security, and we must not let the country suffer losses because of personal face problems." I choose that from this moment on, all four will be thrown into the black prison and wait for the cooperation to begin. ”

The bearded man raised his right hand high: "Protest, we are legal citizens of the United States, you have no right to detain us!"

Scar ignored him and ordered the guards blocking the doorway to drive the four of us to the west of the building.

The talks between the two sides collapsed, and Scar turned his face, which seemed to be a predictable outcome. Anyone can do this in the face of interests, and there are reasons to do so.

The area where we were held was spacious, with only two plainclothes guards at the door, and no one else in sight.

There is a dining table in the room with a Western-style buffet on which you can freely take in.

I didn't have any appetite and my heart was full of depression.

The survival of mankind is already facing a huge threat, but various countries are still tearing up for their own interests, wasting a lot of time in vain.

"Mr. Xia, let's talk?" the bearded man walked over.

He's Carrie's boss and there seems to be a lot to talk about between us.

I nodded, and followed him to the side room.

Obviously, the bearded man was very unhappy with Scar's approach, and as soon as he sat down, he spoke: "We had good liaison and communication, and we also reached a consensus on the Pacific crisis, and even began to discuss specific battle plans. As soon as your proposal comes along, this balance is immediately upset. Now that you have clearly proposed to control the search area in the Black Tiger Spring area of Jinan City, then, in his values, the mission can be successfully completed without the intervention of foreigners. I really regret not listening to Carrie, if I had kept you in our sphere of influence earlier, there wouldn't have been so many complicated changes. ”

I can't clarify that my judgment is completely gambling, which will make the bearded man even more chagrined.

The "he" in the other party's mouth refers to Scar, and it can be seen from the differences and changes in this matter that Scar's principle of doing things is very realistic, and he will never be soft in the face of the division of interests.

"Don't talk about me, but how you want to end this human catastrophe. I said.

Carrie was only a middle- and lower-class figure in the 51 area, and he obeyed the bearded man's instructions and did not dare to make too many innovative moves. Now, when I talk directly to his boss, I get something new.

The bearded man stroked his beard: "Okay, I say, you listen." Forget these words and don't mention them to anyone else. The Lord of the Sharks has always been one of the super targets of the search in Area 51, and the Desert Red Dragon is nothing more than bread crumbs under the feet of giants. We have every reason to believe that all the shipwrecks and plane crashes in the waters of Bermuda's Devil's Delta are related to the merman. Through three-dimensional modeling, maritime experts selected three points on the coastline of China, Japan, and South Korea, and repeatedly translated and crossed them, and obtained a new devil's delta, which is believed to be the second sea entrance built by the lord of the merman in the Pacific Ocean. It is conceivable that if this sea vortex with a huge magnetic force continues to increase, the Pacific Ocean will become a huge ecstasy, and humans will never dare to set foot in it again. If the human race does not fight back, it will not be far from the nightmare day when the Lord of the Shark Man abandons the sea and lands. It will turn all the lakes and swamps of the continent into a nature similar to the Devil's Delta, and continue to eat away at the waters on which humans depend, until they have no water to use, and they are forced to sign an alliance with them. Humans can't live without water, and there are too many examples in history to illustrate this. Far aside, I will cite the desert wars after 1990, in which at least 120 oases disappeared in the desert in the following 20 years, and more than 3 million humans were forced to migrate as a result. If the Pacific Ocean cannot be recaptured, starting from the coastal cities, the land will be eaten by the rings one by one, and the continental plates will literally become islands floating on the sea, and eventually sink forever like the ancient continent of Atlantis. There are detailed accounts of the Great Flood in the Bible, and there are also devastating floods in ancient Chinese mythology, and the same events have appeared in the texts of countries around the world without exception. I have been instructed from the Supreme Authority to gather all the wise men and form an alliance that can continue to grow, and to achieve a long-term mechanism of automating operation, first containing and limiting the scope of the Shark Lord's activities, and then destroying it......"

I know very well that the bearded man's words are not alarmist.

If humanity does not understand its history, it will lose its future and repeat the mistakes of the past.

"I'll show you some materials, all of which were found by human geography agents in Area 51 at the origin of a river on a certain continent, including petroglyphs, knotted rope notes, and others, language towers made of stone. These are all warnings left by life on earth in different periods, and the concise and straightforward ones are left by apes and ancestors, because they have a similar way of thinking to modern people, so the narrative expression is close. The other two may have been left behind by other more mentally advanced races, whose narrative codes are still being further deciphered. The bearded man said.

He took out his phone, opened the library, and held it in the palm of his hand.

I thought he was going to hand over the phone and immediately reached for it.

The bearded man shook his head: "No, Mr. Xia, you can only look at it in my hands, this is discipline." The mobile phone cannot be turned off or left by the body, otherwise it will be a violation of the data confidentiality regulations of the 51 region. We are friends, but only friends, not comrades-in-arms who can share interests and responsibilities. I believe you, but the Articles of Organization cannot be scrapped, please forgive me. ”

I nodded, didn't explain too much, and immediately concentrated on the information.

The source of the water system of a certain continent mentioned by the beard refers to the Himalayas, Kunlun Mountains, Nianqing Tanggula Mountains, Hengduan Mountains, Bayankala Mountains and other places. It is not only the birthplace of China's major river systems, but also the source of India's famous rivers.

Located in the Hengduan Mountains, the petroglyphs are carved out of sharp stones on the stone walls, with rough lines and simple compositions.

There are probably more than 200 petroglyphs stored in the bearded man's mobile phone, and three of them left a deep impression on me, all of which are related to fish.

In the first painting, a small figure is half swallowed by a large fish, leaving only the head, arms, and upper body outside, and the rest has been swallowed by the fish.

The big fish had whiskers, fins, and tail, as well as arms and legs, and it was obvious that it was a combination of fish and man.

In terms of body size ratio, fish are ten times larger than humans, and the disparity in their combat effectiveness is also obvious. If they can't attack them in groups, individual humans will have to sit back and wait to be killed.

There are many similar petroglyphs, all of which are about fish killing humans.

The second painting depicts a large group of people lying around a large fish, not as ordinary people think, but kneeling and worshipping, and its meaning is similar to sacrifice and worship.

I understand that after a long period of being killed by fish, human beings gradually succumbed to the fact that they voluntarily became an inferior people, and accepted the enslavement of fish, and sent them to the altar of high gods.

There are few examples of fish being worshipped as gods, but there are real records in history that the ancient Egyptians used to worship cats as gods, regarded them as messengers of the night, offered various delicacies, and mummified them after the cat's death, and buried them in the ancient tombs of the pharaohs to enjoy higher level sacrifices.

"Totem!" I suddenly understood that this petroglyph was meant to express the totem worship of ancient humans.

It turns out that totem worship is not a beautiful thing worth hype, but the result of human beings being oppressed and abused by unknown aliens. When human beings found that they could not fight and dodge, they chose to surrender and sacrifice their interests and personality in exchange for a chance to survive.

If the meaning of this petroglyph is regarded as totem worship, the content becomes quite credible.

The dragon is the totem of the Chinese, but the animal is extremely varied, and most of them are fierce and brutal. Today's people who use the dragon as their totem should be no different from the ancestors in the rock paintings.

In the third petroglyph, a group of people stand on the backs of fish, surrounded by water and not land.

"The Great Flood and Noah's Ark. "It's easy to relate.

At such times, the fish became the savior of man, and with its support, human beings were able to escape the threat of the great flood safely, reach distant land, or wait until the flood waters receded, and rebuild their lives.

After seeing these petroglyphs, my mind has flown to the ancient and the future.

In ancient times, humans and fish had a battle with each other, and there was also a compromise of symbiotic coexistence. In the future, this kind of thing will happen again, and the result will be good or bad, and it will depend on whether human beings can be fully prepared.

I've seen the petroglyphs, and the bearded man showed me a knotted rope note.

The rope with its numerous pimples, large and small, comes from South America and the coast of the Arctic Ocean, and without annotations, it is impossible for anyone to understand what it is trying to say.
