Chapter 12: The Secret Pattern

For Uncle Li's family, Meng Xuan has no likes or dislikes at all.

Uncle Li's name is Li Han, he is a good friend of his father Meng Dongqi, he used to be depressed for a while, lived in Jinhui Community for five or six years, and later started a food wholesale business, made a lot of money, and moved out of Jinhui Community.

Speaking of which, when Meng Xuan and Uncle Li's daughter Li Ruoqi were playmates when they were children, but when they grew up, Li Han's family made money and moved away, and the contact circle was different, so they basically broke off contact.

After saying hello to Uncle Li, Meng Xuan walked into his room, changed his clothes, and returned to the living room to sit down.

The adults were talking about the adults, and Li Ruoqi on the side glanced at Meng Xuan, who was sitting not far from him, and continued to look at his comics.

Meng Xuan was also happy to be idle, clicking on the TV to find some reports and news about archaeology and mysterious civilizations.

It didn't take long for Liu Wanru to prepare the home-cooked food, Meng Xuan helped to set the table, and then asked everyone to eat at the table.

Although the identity is different now, the relationship between my father and Uncle Li back then was still good, and I hadn't seen each other for a long time, so I couldn't stop chatting, and the wine and food were very fast.

Meng Xuan chewed slowly, quietly looked at the dining table, and her mother Liu Wanru beckoned Li Ruoqi to eat vegetables vigorously, but the girl only picked and chose symbolically and ate a few, and after the small half bowl of rice, she didn't move her chopsticks again, and said early that she was full and continued to read novels on the sofa on the side, which made Liu Wanru a little embarrassed.

Meng Xuan's perception of Li Ruoqi dropped a few centimeters.

Meng Dongqi and Li Han were chatting happily, and somehow they talked about Meng Xuan and Li Ruoqi when they were children, and Li Han, who was a little drunk, said to Li Ruoqi on the sofa: "Qiqi, didn't you say that you wanted to go to KTV with Jiayu and them at night?" Call Xiao Xuan too, weren't you all classmates in elementary school at the time? Connect with feelings. ”

"Isn't that okay?" Li Ruoqi frowned instantly when she heard this.

This time, they are indeed going out to get together, but the people who can play with Li Ruoqi are not all the way with Meng Xuan, so they are not very familiar with each other back then.

Moreover, now they feel that no matter their family background and grades, they are not on the same level as Meng Xuan, and forcibly getting together will only be embarrassing, and everyone can't play.

"What's so bad?" Li Han said with an unhappy face.

"It's really not good, Uncle Li, I also arranged a study plan in the evening, the course is relatively tight, my grades are not good, I usually only work hard, and I don't have much time to play." Meng Xuan said calmly, he was not interested in playing with the little kid.

"That's it, forget it, it's still important to study, Qiqi, look at it, learn more with Xiaoxuan, don't just think about playing outside all day long, what have your grades become, you are in your third year of high school and don't know how to calm down and study more?!" Li Han glared at Li Ruoqi and said.

Li Ruoqi, who was lying down for no reason, was scolded by his father, and Li Ruoqi, who originally thought that Meng Xuan knew each other, glared at Meng Xuan unhappily when he heard this, what kind of good student are you pretending to be, your grades are not as good as your mother!

Meng Xuan's face was expressionless, and he asked you to pick and choose when eating.

After the small episode, Li Ruoqi left to attend the party not long after, while Meng Dongqi and Li Han chatted until eight or nine o'clock before ending the dinner.

Meng Xuan didn't care about this, he locked himself in the room, slowly writing his homework, listening to the ticking of the clock, quietly waiting for the time to enter the mirror world again.

He wants to memorize as many characters as possible, translate the documents, and find the secrets of the ancient Nelson civilization hidden in the documents.

······

······

A month later, the weekend, the Shahe Municipal Library.

"Let's check the information of ancient civilizations again? It's hard to see you every weekend. ”

A beautiful woman with blond hair and black-rimmed glasses full of intellectual aura said to Meng Xuan with a smile.

"The same goes for you."

Meng Xuan smiled at the woman, this is a senior female student he met in the library during this time, named Luo Na, it is said that she is also a major in ancient civilization, she is currently in the accumulation period of papers, and often comes to the library to check materials.

"You can't be a major in the direction of archaeological civilization research if you work so hard?"

Luo Na knew that Meng Xuan was a junior in high school, and asked curiously.

"There's a plan for that."

Meng Xuan nodded, he was very interested in this aspect, especially after coming into contact with the world in the mirror.

"Friendly reminder, this major looks very noble and mysterious, but it is difficult to find a job, and the thesis is very difficult to write, because you have to check all kinds of literature higher than the mountain, from anthropology, sociology and even genetics."

Rona's expression exaggerated her devastated mood of preparing the thesis materials at this time.

"I think it's interesting."

Meng Xuan said with a smile and found several tomes from the bookshelf.

"Well, people who are interested in studying Nelson's derivative civilization languages are heroes, and that thing can make me dizzy with a single character."

Luo Na shrugged her shoulders and said that Meng Xuan seemed to be really this piece of material.

The two joked a few words, and then quickly quieted down, immersed in their respective academics, and the people who came here were certainly not here to chat.

This month, although he died countless times and still didn't see the appearance of the red dot monster clearly, Meng Xuan still gained a lot.

He had recorded more than three pages of the World in the Mirror Document, spent every weekend in the library, and although the translation progress was very slow, it was also very effective.

Although some of the contents are unclear due to grammatical problems, he can still decipher the general meaning, and he feels that the contents of the week's record should contain very important information.

Putting aside the contents such as directories, formulas, and structure diagrams, Meng Xuan combined the readable content.

"It may be widely controversial that it is possible to fight against distortion only by integrating it, but we think there is no doubt that disaster is approaching all the time, and although we entered (unknown characters) in advance, we have long since run out of ······"

"The Supreme Eye tells us that all existence belongs to (unknown characters), that distortions are part of (unknown characters), and that we must make the final choice between being consumed by distortions and conquering distortions······"

"The core and significance of the distortion assimilation experiment lies in the (unknown characters), we have discovered their core power from the distorted (unknown characters), and tried to assimilate them with humans through (unknown characters) and master this new power······"

“······”

Meng Xuan began to read the content of the document slowly, although there were many unknown characters that could not be translated, he still got a lot of information.

First of all, he knew that Nelson's research was likely related to the so-called "distortion", and that the "catastrophe" that caused the Nelson's eventual overnight demise was probably caused by this so-called distortion.

The Nelson may have acquired the embodiment of some kind of "twisted" power, and in order to counter the "twisted" power, conquer and master this power, began a series of risky research.

He found a key character in this passage, which was darkened and made very prominent, which should be one of the important experimental results.

Meng Xuan found the corresponding evolution of this complex character similar to the six-pointed star in several ancient civilization dictionaries, and their meanings were surprisingly consistent.

Meaning: A pattern full of mysterious power.

In a nutshell, it might be called:

Secret Pattern!
