"It is these three days that I have an inexplicable good impression of the Chinese people, there is no doubt that he is the most knowledgeable, serious, diligent and polite person I have ever met.... The winter of 12 was particularly cold, and it was snowing in Paris before Christmas, but every day before the warehouse opened, he waited at the gate, wrapped around a brown woolen scarf, holding a plastic bag in one hand, containing a cut baguette, a thermos flask in the other, with hot water in it, and carrying a bag that could be folded into a stool.... My God, it really takes a bit of effort to move so many things from the 4th district where he lives to our 14th district, I really didn't expect a person who is so generous in buying books to live so frugally. The old man looked at Cheng Mo, who was dressed in a famous brand, and smiled, "It seems that your family's life has improved a lot now......

"Yes...."Cheng Mo nodded gloomily, but the price of this change was inevitably too heavy, "Yes..... Shaking..... changes. ”

"Yes, people like him only want to succeed by thinking about it and not wanting to .....," the old man sighed, "Your father is such a wonderful person, he comes in every morning and helps me clean up, wipe the table, wipe the shelves, wipe the partitions, and then help me organize the books in order before he sits in the corner and starts reading." My books haven't been so organized since he left..... Is he like that at home?"

"No, he hardly organizes the books he reads at home, and in fact the books he reads once are put on the shelf, because he doesn't need to read them a second time, except for a few very important and very difficult books. Cheng Mo paused, "For example, it is like "Capital" ....."

"Ah! I once tried to turn a few pages and read decades of occultism to alleviate it. The old man laughed a little, "Even Capital can be chewed in, no wonder your father reads books so quickly, in fact it took him less than a few hours to read the Book of the Law After reading it, I have been reading other books, the key is that I also made detailed notes, I read his notes, and the perspective of thinking is very novel, which made me very curious about the book he was writing, so I asked him what he was writing, and he told me that he was studying the origin of man, and I was laughing very happily, even though I was a mystic, I thought that there was nothing to study about the origin of man, "Evolution" There's a whole chain of evidence, and even though I'm a devout Christian, I don't want to admit it, but I have to say it..... My ancestors were Homo sapiens from Africa..... So, I questioned him at the time that he had chosen the wrong direction. ”

The old man took a puff of smoke, the curling smoke was very thin in the dim light, through the smoke, an indescribable expression appeared on the old man's face, his lips were pursed tightly, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. His eyes did not look at Cheng Mo or Xie Minyun, but looked at the rising smoke ring through the thick lenses, as if he was passing through the lens of time and observing the smoke and dust of history.

"Your father shook his head and said to me: I have no objection to what you say, but 'Homo sapiens' are called 'Homo sapiens' because they are intelligent, and I ..... Just trying to figure out how 'intelligence' is produced and how human intelligence develops..... At present, the only thing that cannot be explained clearly in "The Theory of Evolution" is about the evolution of the human brain, knowing the distant ancestors of our human beings....... What is it called..... "The old man frowned and fell into thought.

"Australopithecus Afa (note 1), the earliest fossil of Australopithecus found to date, Lucy, lived three to four million years ago, and her body structure is somewhere between that of modern humans and animals. Xie Minyun said.

"Yes, the pelvis and femur of this australopithecus are similar to those of us humans, so they can walk upright like humans. But they differ greatly from humans: Australopithecus alfa's brains are less than one-third of those of humans..... "Cheng Mo added.

"That's right, that's what your father said, he said that our modern human brains are not only huge, but also the most complex organs in the animal kingdom, and can even be said to be the 'most complex object in the universe' known to man, such an object requires extremely high energy consumption, and it can be said that it is a luxury that ancient apes simply cannot afford. According to the principle of "Theory of Evolution", in order to survive, Australopithecus should evolve stronger limbs in a difficult survival environment, rather than using energy to evolve a brain that cannot significantly enhance the ability to survive and reproduce..... Only human beings have chosen an evolutionary path that violates the Theory of Evolution......"

The old man picked up a beautifully carved hollow brass box from the table, he opened the box and took out an ivory press rod that looked like a tooth, carefully adjusted the tobacco in the bowl, and then continued: " I used to like the occult, just because the occult is incredible enough, but what your father said, completely subverted my cognition, he thinks that human beings are not the direction of evolution chosen by themselves, just like we now, the progress of biological science allows us to change our DNA to make ourselves stronger and smarter, and the progress of physical science, so that we humans can combine with machines and computers, these have given human beings infinite possibilities, he said these words to me at the time, more than the occult....... I asked him what was interfering with the direction of our evolution, and he said that he had only found some clues and did not have sufficient evidence, and then he jokingly said, "Maybe it's an angel, maybe it's a devil...... Linking the occult to human origins, I also say that he wasted his talent..... No. 215,68,108-128-168-208-15,18216277117,7800555"

Cheng Mo's heart turned upside down, he looked at Xie Minyun, and it happened that Xie Minyun was also looking at him at this time, and there were different degrees of surprise and doubt in the eyes of the two people.

Almost all of the Chosen have a question in their minds – where did the Chosen System come from.

The answer given by the Round Table Council, the controller of the world, is from the Ark of Covenants given by God, and mankind is guided by God, but the Ark of the Covenant is not in the hands of the Vatican, but in the hands of the people of the United States, which makes the authenticity of this answer highly questionable. The questions that Cheng Yongze studied are not only of great significance to human beings, but also seem to point directly to the core of the questions about the Chosen One's system.

"By the way, has your father's book been published?" The old man's question broke Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun's contemplation, "I've been waiting for several years, and I've always thought that if I can see your father's book, I can die without regrets......"

Cheng Mo hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "He has passed away." ”

This short sentence was like a spell, causing the surrounding reality to disintegrate instantly, opening the door to another time and space, and the old man who seemed to be a hermit in front of him was at this time with a half-light and half-dark expression, as if trying to enter the door of that time and space.

Cheng Mo also felt that he was in the whirlpool of time and space, although his father was no longer there, he seemed to be the god who controlled his fate, standing on top of time and space, looking down on himself step by step towards a huge mystery.

After a long time, the old man said in a deeper voice, "What a pity. He stopped smoking, put his pipe on the shelf, took off his reading glasses and wiped them with a glasses cloth, "Sorry for asking a question that shouldn't have been asked, it's an irreparable loss for humanity." ”

"It's all right, old man...... Thankfully, his book was finished, but there was no way to get it. Cheng Mo whispered.

"There's no way to get out there?" the old man sighed as he looked back at Aleister Crowley, who was attached to his back, "Subversive books are always forbidden, I don't know if it's your father's honor or a human misfortune......"

"I think it's both. Cheng Mo said.

The old man smiled, took out the scarlet book "The Book Of The Law" from the drawer, put it on the table and stared at it for a while, then looked up at Cheng Mo and said: "Actually, when your father said goodbye to me, I decided to sell the book to him, and I gave him a very cheap price at that time, only 20,000 euros, he hesitated for a long time, I knew that he wanted to buy it, but finally gave up." I was very curious and asked him why, and he said that he still needed more money. I said, don't you know that if you buy it for 10,000 euros today, you can sell it for 50,000 euros or even 100,000 euros tomorrow? He said he knew, but because of this, he couldn't ..... it" The old man put the book in front of Cheng Mo and smiled and said, "Now I will also give you 20,000 euros, and I believe you will treat it well.....

Cheng Mo was slightly surprised, and was stunned for a moment before asking, "Really?"

"Of course..... However, I only accept cash...."

"It's okay, I'll pick it up now. Cheng Mo hurriedly said.

"There's no need to be in such a hurry, I'm closing at five o'clock in the afternoon, you still have a long time, you can wander around, don't worry! I won't change my mind, this book of The Book Of The Law will be left to you." ”

"Thank you, sir, but I'll be back soon, and I won't keep you waiting. After saying that, Mo pulled Xie Minyun and walked briskly towards the door of the warehouse.

"I didn't expect this kind of adventure. Xie Minyun sighed as he walked.

Thinking that Qin Shiling had also encountered something similar, Cheng Mo shook his head and said, "No, it's actually not strange at all. ”

"Do you think..... Isn't all this a coincidence?"

Cheng Mo was entangled for a moment, but still replied: "I'm not sure, but there is one thing I think is very strange, we don't have the two books that the old gentleman said at home, I think if my father buys those two books and comes home, he will definitely tell me." ”

"Why is that? Judging by the old gentleman's expression, he doesn't look like a liar...."

"I don't think he's ...... But where did those two books go?"

"That...... Father.... Isn't the cause of Dad's death not so simple?" Xie Minyun said "Dad", a faint flush appeared on her cheeks, although she knew that the current situation was not suitable, but she couldn't help but feel a little shy.

"I don't know, but Uncle Lee told me not to delve into it. Cheng Mo whispered.

"I think Uncle Li must have a reason for saying this, maybe it's because it's being investigated, and it's inconvenient to disclose the news to you, so don't be too anxious. ”

"Do you think I'm in a hurry?" Cheng Mo turned his head and glanced at Xie Minyun, "Anyway, my dad would be surprised if he knew that I married you so early...... Cheng Mo said with a wry smile: "I haven't done anything in my life that can surpass him, but finding a wife is definitely better than his wife....." "Dad may not think so." ”

"No, my dad will definitely like you. ”

Xie Minyun smiled, at this time, the two of them just walked out of the somewhat gloomy warehouse and came to the road, the sunlight from the bare branches looked very dazzling, the long street not far away was still crowded, there were police lights flashing on the side of the road, a wave of people just walked towards the warehouse, just when they passed by Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun, two black shadows suddenly burst out in the colorful flow of people, they rushed towards Xie Minyun from the side, one reached out to pull the leather satchel she was carrying on her waist, and the other reached out to grab the Hermes paper bag she was carrying in her hand......

Although their movements were very fast, they were still a little slow for Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun. Xie Minyun was reluctant to smash the two blacks with a more comfortable crystal ball, but grabbed Cheng Mo's arm with one hand, picked up the long legs in jeans, and kicked them directly in the chest with lightning-like taekwondo, kicking the two tall blacks back into the crowd, and then collapsed to the ground.

The originally dense flow of people scattered in all directions, and the screams rang out. Not far away, the policeman wearing a cylindrical top hat seemed to notice the situation here and immediately rushed in this direction. Seeing the black man who carried out the robbery wailing and rolling on the ground, some applauded, some took out their mobile phones to take pictures, and some shouted at Xie Minyun: "Chinese gongfu", although Xie Minyun obviously used the leg method in taekwondo.

Seeing the police coming, Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun stood still and didn't move, Xie Minyun said in a low voice: "The last time I heard Uncle Hu say that the embassy car he was in was robbed by the French police, I thought it was just a joke...... I didn't expect them to really dare to rob ..... in front of the police."

Cheng Mo shrugged his shoulders and said, "I only heard from Napoleon VII yesterday that he was robbed with his bodyguards on the street, but I didn't expect to see it today." ”

At this time, two policemen had already rushed over, one of them was a little shorter to look at the black man who had fallen to the ground, and the other was a taller one who walked straight to Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun, and asked in fluent English, "What happened just now?"

Xie Minyun glanced at the two black men who fell to the ground and replied in English: "Just now the two of them wanted to snatch my things, but I kicked them down. ”

The tall policeman glanced at Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun and said, "Please show me your passports." ”

Xie Minyun handed the Hermes paper bag to Cheng Mo, then took out the passports of two people from the bag he was carrying and handed them to the tall policeman, the tall policeman took the passport, opened it and took the photos of the next two people, and then returned the passport to Xie Minyun, and shrugged his shoulders at the same time and said: "It's normal, you Chinese people like to bring cash, so robbers like to rob you Chinese people....."

Xie Minyun and Cheng Mo did not speak.

The tall policeman turned to his companion behind him and shouted, "Hey, Mael, handcuff them both and take them to the police station.....

"Run!" Cheng Mo shouted, pulling Xie Minyun and running towards the main road of the crowded flea market on the side.
