Chapter 5: Meet Again

The alarm went off briefly a few times.

Several patrolling guards immediately became nervous, and they all ran downstairs in unison, Jiang Chenchuan was a little concerned, but he remembered the warning on the notice and did not follow.

Looking down from the bars, you can probably see that they have descended to a floor deeper than the sixth floor.

Below the seventh floor.

The place that was off-limits.

"Concerned?"

The strange male voice suddenly appeared behind him, and his nerves instantly tensed, Jiang Chenchuan turned around vigilantly, and found a man dressed in a straight body standing behind him, looking like he was thirty or forty years old, with his back combed hair, unilateral glasses with gold wire, gray suit, clean and tidy neckline and cuffs, and a watch chain hanging on his chest, extending to the pocket of his jacket, which set off his special temperament.

"It's a little different."

Seeing that Jiang Chenchuan didn't speak, the man spoke again, as if he was talking to him, and as if he was talking to himself.

The walls on both sides of the corridor are lit with elegant kerosene lamps, and the light source jumps unsteadily, making the whole museum empty and quiet.

Jiang Chenchuan couldn't figure out who he was and why he appeared behind him, so he didn't respond to him.

Staff member?

Or, Guardians?

It doesn't seem to be.

"The museum broke into an uninvited guest, I don't know how to run to the seventh floor, it's not a good place to go down, remember, there used to be a little guy, rebellious, unwilling to follow the rules, taking advantage of the lack of people on the night shift, the inspection time is long, so he sneaked down, and as a result, he hasn't come back until now." The man sighed, as if he was sorry for it, "I don't know if he can come back." ”

"If you go down, can you come back?" Jiang Chenchuan was a little curious.

"Yes, of course, most of the people here are good people who would be willing to go out of their way to save someone's life, like, huh...... Just like a doctor, as long as there is a little hope, he wants to seize on it. The man replied.

Jiang Chenchuan felt that when he said this, there was some light in his eyes, and now he couldn't hear the movement downstairs clearly, and when he looked down, he couldn't see the trace of the guards just now.

Listening to the man's tone, it seems to be familiar with this place.

Jiang Chenchuan was puzzled: "Are you a staff member?" ”

"So to speak."

"Which floor? Why didn't you wear overalls? ”

Jiang Chenchuan still remembered the words on the notice.

"If I have to, I'm here, on the third floor." The man ignored Jiang Chenchuan's inquiry, and as he spoke, he took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, "I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Leonid, I used to be a university teacher, I mainly taught research related to the World Tree, and I only knew a little about the rest of the fields, but that was all in the past." ”

"Ewell." Jiang Chenchuan stretched out his hand.

Leonid waved his hand to show that he would not shake hands, he glanced at his pocket watch again, and said: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Iwell, since we have met, then I will send you a word, if you don't want to fall deeper and deeper, then don't get involved in anything that goes against common sense, including...... Goods. ”

Something in the pocket was trembling slightly.

"Do you know ......" Jiang Chenchuan's expression changed, and he wanted to blurt out some words, but he stopped in time.

There was a noise in the direction of the stairs behind them.

Jiang Chenchuan turned to look, and the guards appeared at the staircase and walked in his direction.

There seems to be a person escorted in the middle.

The familiar figure and gray windbreaker looked embarrassed, and there was a look of fear on the dirty little face.

"Rena?"

She's caught?

Jiang Chenchuan was not surprised by this result.

There was no conversation between the guards, just walking in silence.

When passing Jiang Chenchuan, Rena raised her head slightly, the fear and distraction just now were swept away, her smart eyes looked at her, her lips opened lightly, and she didn't make a sound, but Jiang Chenchuan understood what she meant.

Save me.

This guy, really......

I pinned my hopes on strangers who had only met once.

But also, it's kind of interesting.

"What do you think?" Jiang Chenchuan asked casually.

Although he said this, he already had the answer in his heart.

“……”

"Leonid?"

Jiang Chenchuan turned his head, and in his original position, Leonid had disappeared.

The convoy walked by, and the hallway was quiet and cold again.

Click-click-

The mechanical clock rang again.

……

……

"Speak, ma'am."

In some small rooms, the two sat staring at each other, and the light shone brightly on Rena's face, making her little face even paler.

Sharp eyes examined the woman in front of her, but Rena did not fluctuate at all, just stared blankly ahead, unmoved by his words.

"You need to know that even if you don't say anything, the museum can find out who you are and give you a chance to confess, unless, you want to stay here forever."

"What do you want to know?"

Rena's tone was calm, and she didn't panic much in the face of this situation.

Seeing that Rena was willing to speak, Chris breathed a sigh of relief,

"How did you get past the inspection and get into the Pornia Museum?"

"I just heard them call you...... Captain, are you a member of the Knights of the Pure Temple? ”

Instead of answering Chris's question, Rena threw out a new question.

"Name, identity, and, purpose of coming to the museum."

Chris continued to ask, realizing that the woman in front of him was not so easy to deal with, and seemed timid and unfamiliar, but she seemed mature and sophisticated in dealing with this kind of questioning.

"Well, can you tell me what secrets the museum hides? What the hell are you guarding? What are the collections out there? But are those worthless things worth sending in the escort that was supposed to protect the Queen? ”

Rena asked seemingly innocently, but she struck at the essence of things.

"You know a lot."

His gaze turned to Rena's eyes, as if to see something in the emerald eyes.

"But that's all, and of course, the ones you see in the archives."

Hearing this, Chris immediately had a headache, and the most troublesome thing appeared.

"What do you see?"

"One man, one fire...... As I said that, I suddenly remembered that a month ago, there seemed to be a fire on the side of King Street, and I heard that the fire burned down No. 124, and the rest was only blackened by smoke, and the police also reported the incident, and I remember reading it, and what it said was ......"

Rena frowned and thought for a while, and after a few seconds, as if she had thought of something, her face changed instantly.

"The report says that there were no casualties in the fire, right?"

Chris followed her words.

"And who am the people I see......?"

He sighed softly in the face of Rena's panicked questioning.

Stand up,

Prepare to turn around and leave.

As soon as he opened the door, he paused, turned to Rena and said:

"You can't leave, ma'am."
