Chapter 105: The Olive Branch
"Going to dinner? Mr. Gong, don't worry, I'll have the back kitchen prepare a meal for you when you come out of the ruins. An assistant beside the vice president looked at Gong Piqing with a puzzled face and said.
Gong Piqing wanted to say that I didn't mean to go to eat with you but to go with my roommates, but when he heard the words "come out of the ruins", a huge fear immediately surged up in his heart, listening to the other party's meaning, isn't this just to take them to the tomb of the god to eat, is this really to negotiate? We're being blackmailed! If you don't go to that place, you won't be allowed to eat!
"Yes, Mr. Gong, didn't I just say that after we dismiss the meeting, my assistant will lead you to go around the ruins to see where you can install surveillance and the like, and I will also send someone to arrange accommodation for the task commissioners of your office, let's go to eat after we come out of the ruins, and you can move in directly after eating." The Vice Dean continued.
Gong Piqing called good guy in his heart, obviously we are here to negotiate with you, but now you have arranged all the itineraries, and you can't visit the ruins if you don't end the meeting, you can't eat if you don't visit the ruins, and you can't stay until you finish eating! We came to negotiate with you about this meeting, and we didn't have the final say on whether it was dispersed or not? Do you really just think it's just a relic! That's the Tomb of the Gods! There's lava down there! There's a ghost in there! In your place where zombies are studied, is it really not zombie meat to give people food, and are there zombies in the place where you live?
But he finally held back, and instead of saying these words, his face turned red.
"Calm down! Calm down bro! You may not have heard these words just now, we have already negotiated, the other party has made huge concessions, and the visit to the ruins is also proposed by our side, the purpose is to increase the monitoring in the ruins, so that I don't need to act as a real surveillance camera here to provide real-time information for my hometown. Hades' voice suddenly came out of his head, frightening him for a few seconds.
"Oh! That's good! Thank you, good visit, wonderful visit! He came back to his senses and clapped his hands rhythmically.
This behavior caused the vice dean to laugh, "Mr. Gong is still as humorous as ever, just said that he wanted to eat with the guys, is he missing the food in our canteen?" I've already told the people in the back kitchen that there will be a special chef to cook for our negotiation team today, so you don't have to queue up this time! ”
Gong Piqing nuns, "I think of the aunt who serves the rice, she is the only one in the whole hospital who cares about my health, every time we meet, I say that I am fat again, and she will help me lose weight with less meat, she can also work hard, I heard that she came down from Wudang Mountain, and every time she turned the spoon, she can turn the meat inside down, and she doesn't spill a drop of soup!" At first glance, he is a master! ”
Gong Piqing mentioned the aunt in charge to the vice president with a grateful heart, but for some reason, the vice dean's face didn't look very good, and told the assistant next to him that he found the aunt in charge and asked her to wait in the vice president's office before getting off work......
Gong Piqing was moved for a while, it seemed that the hospital was going to raise the salary of that aunt.
At the thought of this, he gritted his teeth and giggled.
"Hey! Don't laugh, get ready to go, they're going to find someone to take us to visit the ruins. Hades reminded from his mind.
Only then did he come back to his senses, the vice president had already gotten up, and both sides had bright smiles on their faces, presumably a consensus had been reached, only the smirk on Gong Piqing's face was particularly disturbing, and it was really helpless for such a smile to appear on such a formal occasion.
Ten minutes later, the group embarked on a journey to the ruins, led by a team from the Operations Department of the Xiguan Renai Research Institute, followed by a team of ten people from the Mill Research Institute, and everyone was fully armed, from body armor to protective clothing to bulletproof helmets, because no one could predict the situation inside.
But during the period, the Hades King has already complained about their behaviors with Gong Piqing, and the Hades can clearly see the situation in the ruins through mental power reconnaissance, and now the portal in the ruins has not been opened, and the environment inside is no different from the outside, they don't need to go to great lengths to wear these protective suits, and with him and Gong Piqing here, even if a lord-level monster comes out of it, it can only be killed in seconds......
But since the other party had already expressed his intentions, they certainly had no reason to refuse, and finally the reinforced airtight door opened, and Gong Piqing once again saw the place that had brought him countless fears and nightmares......
"According to our research, this ruin has existed for at least a thousand years, but we haven't found any evidence from it that can prove which dynasty it is, plus there are always monsters in it, so it is temporarily blocked, and it is thanks to Mr. Gong's help before, we were able to survive several monster attacks, and here I once again express my heartfelt thanks to Mr. Gong and you on behalf of the Xiguan Institute of Benevolence." After speaking, one of the members of the operation team who led the team bowed deeply to them.
Hades once again showed his charming smile on his face, "You're welcome, Mr. Gong has always been a philanthropic person, and the same is true for us, which is why so many people like him." ”
But Gong Piqing's face was not very good-looking, and he said in his heart that he was kind and charitable! Be kind and give a hammer! Didn't I almost die here at any time! You're embarrassed to say it! I'm with you every day with death!
Immediately, the reassuring voice of the Hades King came from his head again: "Calm down!" If you want to say these things, we'll talk about it for nothing today! Now that both sides have negotiated, let's save some face for each other! This is the quality that a strong party should have! ”
Gong Piqing was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to the Hades, "You know what I'm thinking in my head?" ”
Hades scratched his head a little embarrassed, "This...... I know exactly what's going on in the heads of all of you, it's just that your thoughts are dangerous, and I'm kind enough to warn you, but don't worry too much, I'm just reading your current thoughts, and I haven't dived deep into your brains to peek at something. ”
Naturally, his words were also said to Gong Piqing through his mind, otherwise if these words were heard by the other party's people, they would probably have to prevent the Hades from seeing something from their heads that they shouldn't see......
The team leading the way is also introducing the ruins to them like a group of guides, "The total area in the ruins is about 1,000 square meters, the road inside is very complicated, it is not too much to say that it is a labyrinth, at present, we have not found any useful information except for the machine shaft and the stone carvings on the rock wall, but this one can run out of monsters anytime and anywhere is enough for us." ”
There was a burst of laughter from the negotiating team, "Yes, guarding such a relic that could run out of a monster at any time is really no different from sleeping with a bomb in your arms, but the vice president said at the meeting just now that the model called 'Pandora's Key' can accurately predict when this door will open?" Is this true? ”
"Yes, according to the vice dean's plan, when you arrive at your respective residences after eating, you will receive the model analysis of the 'Pandora's Key', and the prediction of this model has not been wrong so far, which will also be the most beneficial guarantee for us to predict the appearance of monsters in the well." The captain of the leading team introduced them.
"Hmph......" Gong Piqing's head came from the bitter laughter of the Hades, "Man, do you know, if I guessed correctly, the Pandora's Key model they said was also provided for them after they took control of me, because I calculated this model two years ago, and the amount of computation required to make this model is impossible for the Xiguan Renai Research Institute to have, even the world's largest computer will need three to five years to deduce this model, And they found this relic no more than a year ago, so ...... It's just that they're stealing the fruits of our labor. ”
Gong Piqing suddenly realized this sentence in his heart, no wonder he had lived in Xiguan Renai Mental Hospital for so long and didn't find anything wrong, until the legend of various zombies and ghosts came from the hospital in the past year, these ghosts and ghosts jumped out one after another, and the staff of the Mill Research Institute also told him that the brain of the Hades has an indescribable degree of power, and his head is almost the knowledge base of the entire human civilization, and the Xiguan Renai Research Institute controls the Hades. It is equivalent to mastering the technology and culture of these leading human civilizations at once, but they did not use these things in the head of Hades on the right path, but used them to develop zombies, and finally ended up like this......
Indeed, if it weren't for this trip today, Gong Piqing wouldn't have known that there were still these unknown connections between the Xiguan Renai Research Institute and their Mill Research Institute, and now the secrets of the Xiguan Renai Research Institute have been dug up, and they will go to the legendary demon world through this relic to find the heart of the legendary space god......
The negotiation team was led to the depths of the ruins by the guide team, Gong Piqing had never been here once, and the scene here was very different from before, but the Hades pulled the corners of his clothes where no one could see, and then the Hades pointed to a rock wall with murals and reliefs in front of them, "The nearest entrance to the Tomb of the Gods is about a thousand meters behind this wall, I guess the method of entering the entrance may be related to these murals and carvings, if you want to enter the Tomb of the Gods to see, Let's try to unravel the secrets of these murals and carvings. ”
As soon as Gong Piqing raised his head, a huge sense of familiarity suddenly exploded from his mind......
