In the latter class, Cheng Mo temporarily put down his money-making plan, and began to brush the questions steadily, in Changya Middle School, learning to get rich is not empty words, this is also the source of countless students' love for learning, learning makes them happy....

After school, Fu Yuanzhuo behind Cheng Mo was the first to run out of the classroom, and Cheng Xiaoyu was the last, he never squeezed with others.

When he walked out of the teaching building, Cheng Mo seemed to feel that someone was secretly observing him, but after looking around, he didn't find anyone, he dragged out of the school with the tail of the flow of people, took 202 home, first brushed a hundred questions, the speed was a little faster than yesterday, and then began to look for various clues about the "Pantheon" on the Internet, for which he also deliberately recharged a VPN, boarded the Internet, and used Google to query a lot of English information, but still did not find any useful information.

The light emitted by the dim desk lamp was like a thin protective cover in the dark night, Cheng Mo sat in the middle and looked at the computer screen and pondered, the lines of text converged into a huge torrent, but he was like a page in the vast sea, unable to find the direction.

Thinking that there was a "School Committee Member Badge" and a "Freemason Badge" among his father's relics, Cheng Mo checked the websites related to these two organizations, and there were hundreds of websites related to "Freemasonry", Cheng Mo was dizzy and still found nothing.

Cheng Mo rubbed his temples, pulled out the drawer of the table, took out the silk bag, carefully observed the two badges for a while, and compared the pictures that could be displayed on the watch, hoping to find out what the connection was, but the result was still nothing.

Seeing that it was already twelve o'clock, Cheng Mo restrained the urge to continue exploring on the Internet, turned off the lights, and lay on the bed.

Tomorrow Friday, class.

On Saturday, he planned to take the key to his father's dormitory of the Hunan Provincial Academy of Social Sciences, and by the way, he went to find Wang Shanhai, presumably he could contact Li Jiting.....

At half past five, Cheng Mo still got up on time, brushed his teeth and washed his face, dressed, boiled eggs, soaked cereal, made milk, went out at 6:15, and arrived at school by 202..... It's all prescribed actions.

Maybe it was because Tian Bin gave him a two-week deadline, or maybe it was because the head teacher Shen Youyi deliberately criticized Sun Dayong and them, and Cheng Mo did not complain to Shen Youyi, so on this day, Sun Dayong and his group did not find trouble with Cheng Mo, and Cheng Mo did not go to the school clinic at noon, but just ate in the cafeteria and went to the library to rest.

Throughout the day, Cheng Mo basically spent time brushing questions, and he didn't think about the watch.

When Cheng Mo came home from school, he searched around the house, and he found that his father basically didn't leave any traces at home, and most of the materials and books that Cheng Yongze needed were moved to the capital, but very few came back as relics, all of them were ordinary daily necessities, and they had long been thrown away.

The rest of the rest are some various periodicals and all kinds of books, and some old clothes were cleaned up by Cheng Jidong and stuffed in a bag, Cheng Mo flipped through these books, hoping to find the missing small note from them, and turned over all the books in the bookcase, but his wish was not achieved.

Cheng Mo carefully rummaged through the old clothes in his bag again, but of course he found nothing.

Cheng Mo thought to himself: If he can't find clues in his father's dormitory tomorrow, Wang Shanhai can't contact Li Jiting anywhere, so he can only wait for the summer vacation to go to the "Pantheon" in Italy to find out.

Although he was off on Saturday, Cheng Mo still got up at half past five according to his habits, and after he was busy, he began to read, scientific studies have shown that people have four climactic memory points every day, and the first time period is six to seven o'clock in the morning, of course, Cheng Mo will not waste this good morning light.

The situation of cognitive impairment has improved slightly these days, and Cheng Mo doesn't know if it's because of his insistence on brushing the questions, or because of the watch, but no matter what the reason is, he has to stick to the matter of brushing the questions, because he has to rely on this to make money.....

Reading the book and seeing half past eight, Cheng Mo was ready to leave for the Xiangnan Provincial Academy of Social Sciences, which is located near the National Defense University of Science and Technology, which is about forty or fifty minutes away from Cheng Mo's house, Cheng Mo was afraid that something needed to be brought back from Cheng Yongze's dormitory, so he deliberately carried a bag.

Road 113 on the weekend was quite crowded, Cheng Mo stood all the way, arrived at the Academy of Social Sciences in the shaking, he was still a little tired when he got off the bus, the shining sun made him a little dizzy, like low blood sugar, Cheng Mo took out a piece of dark chocolate from his pocket and chewed it, and after the bitter sweetness melted, he suddenly felt better.

Cheng Mo walked towards the gate of the Shonan Provincial Academy of Social Sciences, and said in his heart: It seems that dreaming last night that this watch can change his physique, it is really a dream. (BGM of this chapter - "Exogenesis: Symphony Part 1" [Overture] Alien Genesis Symphony Part 1 (Overture))

Although he was complaining in his heart, Cheng Mo did not have the slightest idea of giving up the pursuit of answers, because for Cheng Mo, this is his only hope, although this hope is extremely meager and slim, but he can't give up, he must choose to find the answer with all his might, which is why he immediately determined that he went to Italy for the summer vacation.

He had to race against the clock.

Cheng Mo entered the gray tile gate of the Academy of Social Sciences and went straight to Cheng Yongze's dormitory, walked forward along the main road of the gate for a distance, turned left into the forest ** next to the lake, walked for about five minutes, and you could see Cheng Mo's house.

This is the house assigned to Cheng Yongze by the Academy of Social Sciences, which belongs to collective property rights and does not have a real estate certificate, but according to the law, the right of residence belongs to the residents and their co-residents to live permanently.

Cheng Mo grew up here when he was a child, but there was no elevator in the old house, and Cheng Mo's family lived on the seventh floor of the top floor, and climbing the stairs every day was a big burden for Cheng Mo, so Cheng Yongze bought a house in Dingwangtai and moved there.

The reason why I bought a house that is still a little far away from the Academy of Social Sciences is because Dingwangtai is the location of the book market in Star City, and all first-hand international magazines and all kinds of books are the fastest to arrive at the Dingwangtai Book Market.

For people like Cheng Yongze, there is no greater temptation than this, most of Cheng Mo's memories of weekends when he was a child were spent in the Dingwangtai Book Market, and as for the old house in front of him that is a little mottled under the shade of the woods, in Cheng Mo's impression, it should be very big, but he has not returned here for so many years, but it has become low, dilapidated and narrow.

Even though the once gray concrete walls were covered with white tiles, the green moss at the root of the walls, the cement peeling off and the yellowing of the water stains made this once glamorous house seem to have been forgotten by time.

Perhaps, Cheng Mo himself is deliberately forgetting, because there are memories of his mother here.

Cheng Mo pressed the mixed tastes in his heart, and walked into the familiar narrow and steep staircase again after many years, and he only had one feeling at this moment

- Things are not people.

The old house seemed to be silent as if no one was living in it, Cheng Mo slowly climbed to the seventh floor, other people's houses were replaced with anti-theft doors, only Cheng Mo's house was still a yellow wooden door, he took out the key to open the door where the paint was almost gone, and before he walked in, a smell of decay came to his face.

The room had been covered with a layer of ash, and the old elm tree outside the window was still flourishing, and Cheng Mo remembered that every spring, it would poke its fresh buds close to the window.

Cheng Mo gently closed the door, as if he was afraid of alarming someone, he walked into the living room, but it was almost empty, a sofa, a coffee table and a TV cabinet, there was not even a TV on the TV cabinet, Cheng Yongze hardly watched TV, except for occasionally watching the news broadcast.

The house is a classic two-bedroom and one-living room layout, the doors of the two bedrooms are in the living room, Cheng Mo walked into Cheng Yongze's bedroom first, a pole bed, two bedside tables, a table, and a bookcase.

Only one monitor remained of the computer on the desk, and the chassis was missing, perhaps moved to the capital. The bookcase was also empty, not a single book, only fine dust glistening in the sunlight of the window.

Cheng Mo hung the backpack on the chair, opened all the cabinets and drawers, searched under the bed, under the bed, and everywhere, and there was nothing, and then he went to his room again, rummaging through the living room, but he was still disappointed.

Originally, he thought that he could find something useful here, after all, this key was also something given to him by Li Jiting, and in Cheng Mo's opinion, this should be the clue to solve the problem.

Cheng Mo sat on the sofa a little decadently, just after a toss, there was no dust on this sofa, he stared at the sunlight outside the window for a while, his brain was running rapidly, if this watch was deliberately given to him by his father, then he would leave some information, so as not to make him so blind.

Cheng Mo got up a little unwillingly, used the key to cut open the sofa, and took out all the sponges inside, but he still only saw the black spring......

Cheng Mo went to the bathroom to wash his hands with some disappointment, and walked around the room again to check if there was anything missing, but in the end he could only choose to give up this line, he turned around and walked towards the door, and said in his heart: Maybe only when his cognitive impairment is completely healed can he find something.

Maybe this is his psychological hint to himself, hoping that he will not give up hope.

From a realistic point of view and from the perspective of ordinary people, Cheng Mo is almost certainly wasting time doing some useless work, and none of us will hope for a miracle on a watch that just looks a little high-tech.

A miracle can't be called a miracle if it's so cheap.

But on the flip side, most miracles can befall the world not just because of good luck, but because the people involved are persistent enough.

In fact, if Cheng Mo had a choice, maybe he wouldn't be so expectant to find the answer, but in the time he was still alive, this hope seemed to be all he could grasp at present.

Cheng Mo walked to the door and said in his heart: Of course, closing his eyes and quietly waiting for death is a choice, what a simple thing it is, but his life is so short, waiting is an extremely extravagant act, he can only desperately look for it.

As long as life goes on, he must continue to search......

At the moment when he twisted the door lock, Cheng Mo saw an almanac pasted on the back of the door, or the 2017 almanac last year, one of the dates drew a small red circle, Cheng Mo stopped and opened the door, and looked at the date for a while, November 7th, heavy snow - this day is Cheng Mo's birthday.

Cheng Yongze gave him a vinyl record, which was the opera "Der Ring des Nibelungen" (Note 1: "The Ring of the Nibelungen"), a version of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Solti.....

Suddenly Cheng Mo's mind rang loudly, and the huge and solemn music began to echo in his mind, and the huge chant was like a glacier on the frozen soil, accumulating into a snow-white peak in the raging blizzard, and the peak became more and more magnificent and sharp, horn, flute, piano, violin, cello, timpani..... Composed of dense notes, like a wave, composed of a solemn proclamation:

When humans open the door to the Nibelungen of genes, it is like Pandora opening a box, something that even nature does not control, trying to manipulate it with the power of ants, and in the end it will only destroy itself.

____________________________________________

Note 1 The Ring of the Nibelungen – The Ring of the Nibelungen is the pinnacle of 19th-century German opera, adapted from the medieval German folk narrative poem The Song of the Nibelungen and the Nordic Legend of Walsonger.

There are four acts: Eve: "The Gold of the Rhine", Day 1: "Valkyrie", Day 2: "Siegfried", and Day 3: "Twilight of the Gods".

There is a significant difference between Norse mythology and other ancient myths, in which the gods have a human side, are limited, and are themselves facing the fate of extinction.

The last scene, "Twilight of the Gods", embodies the idea that all things will die together and be reborn.

The writer Wilhelm Richard Wagner is an important figure in the history of German opera. The opera tradition of Mozart and Beethoven was inherited in the front, and the post-Romantic opera composition trend was started in the back, followed by Richard Strauss. At the same time, because of the complexity of his political and religious thoughts, he became the most controversial figure in the history of European music.

Hitler, Nietzsche, Chamberlain, and Ludwig II were all embraced by him, but later Nietzsche turned against him.

Nibelungen – In Norse mythology, it means "the land of the dead" or "the land of fog".
