"So that's it, I understand, it turns out that thing is the brain corpse worm." Liu Xinya seemed to have thought of something. She stood up and ran directly to the back of the house.

"Follow her!" Professor Tan shouted to me, and then immediately followed her.

Liu Xinya didn't say anything to us, she just ran inside quickly.

Professor Tan and I followed closely, and Xiao Wang followed behind us. The four of us ran all the way.

After a while, we followed Liu Xinya to a room. This room was very clean and the furnishings were not complicated. There was only a desk and a bed. It could not be simpler.

But I recognized this place at a glance. This was the place where Professor Liu died that day, because it was exactly the same as in the photo. The only difference was that Professor Liu's body was no longer here.

Coming into the room, Liu Xinya murmured: "Father!"

She stood blankly at the door for a moment, and then she came back to her senses. She shook her head vigorously, trying to keep herself calm.

After taking two deep breaths, she quickly walked to the desk, opened the drawer and took out a notebook wrapped in brown paper.

"This is..." When I saw this notebook, I immediately guessed what it was. It must be the notes his father made before his death.

Professor Tan and I looked at each other, especially Professor Tan. When he saw this notebook, his face turned a little pale. I knew that he must have thought of his grandfather.

Back then, the old man also locked himself in his room and recorded everything in a small notebook.

"Uncle Tan, my dad wrote a lot of things on this before he died, but I couldn't understand what my dad wrote. Just now I heard you talk about the brain corpse worm, and I realized that my dad had known about the brain corpse for a long time.

What are insects?"

"I can't understand what's in this notebook, but I think you might be able to understand it. There might be something you need recorded in it."

"I know that your coming this time is not by chance. Maybe my dad just wanted you to find this notebook, so he brought you here through his own mobile phone!"

As she said that, she handed the notebook to Professor Tan. Professor Tan reached out and took it, then put it on the table and opened the first page. I immediately moved over.

Turning to the first page, I found that it was indeed a notepad recording Professor Liu's archeology. It recorded the research done by Professor Liu in the past two years.

Most of the research was done in Xi'an. Every archaeological research is written in great detail and is very professional. Even me, who studies archeology, seems very tired. It is impossible for ordinary people to do this.

You can understand it, no wonder this girl said she can’t understand it.

Of course, I know Professor Tan can definitely understand it, but now he is not in the mood to read it in detail. He just reached out and roughly looked at these records, without looking too carefully, and quickly flipped through the pages of the notebook.

After flipping through for seven or eight minutes, he suddenly stopped on one of the pages, and I immediately focused my attention on this page.

I saw this line clearly written on it: "I received a call from the Institute of Archeology today, asking me to go to the Cultural Relics Bureau in the afternoon. I feel that this matter is not good. The incident a few years ago shocked the entire archaeological community.

It's definitely not a good thing to come to me now."

Then, after a few empty lines below, there was another line that read: "I went to the Cultural Relics Bureau in the afternoon. As expected, the impact of that incident was so great that no one is willing to study the unearthed cultural relics now.

The Cultural Relics Bureau came to me this time because they wanted me to participate in research, but after this job, I may not be able to come back alive, but... what on earth am I going to do?"

"Professor Tan, is what Professor Liu said related to the ancient corpse in our school?"

Professor Liu's words were written without beginning or end, so I could only guess based on my feelings. However, according to the meaning of what he wrote, it could only be the ancient tomb that had been sealed.

Professor Tan nodded and said: "Lao Liu is a senior scholar in the archaeological field. If he hadn't happened to be overseas during the excavation of the ancient tomb, he would have definitely participated. I thought I would have escaped by not participating, but I didn't expect that he would have escaped in the end.

still……"

Seeing this, I already understood that although Professor Liu didn't want to take this job, he finally took it.

He must have encountered something or been forced by something, so he finally took this job.

Maybe this has something to do with the word "but" written above, but what exactly is he but? Is someone threatening him? Or does he have some compelling reason?

I turned to the next page and saw that the notebook continued to write:

"I have decided not to take this job. I don't want to die yet. Xinya still wants me to take care of her. I will refuse the Cultural Relics Bureau today."

"I have already called the Cultural Relics Bureau, and the leaders of the Cultural Relics Bureau did not make things difficult for me. However, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive in the archaeological field in the future. Maybe I should think about my options and go to the United States!"

When the note was written here, it was still very normal, but the subsequent series of records made us feel that something was wrong...

I saw that Professor Liu’s records in the notebook began to be incoherent. He wrote like this:

"Today I met a man on the street. He told me something. He said that I would encounter some strange things at night. What strange things would I encounter? I am already old, and it is so difficult to participate in archaeology.

I haven’t seen anything strange in a long time, so there’s nothing to be afraid of.”

"I didn't encounter anything tonight. That person really scared me. I can have a good sleep today."

"Ah! It's so scary. How could something so evil happen? Why on earth would it be like this!"

"I don't dare to sleep these days. Every time I go to sleep, I see that thing!"

"What's going on? How come I have so many hallucinations!"

"Yes, it's an illusion. This must be an illusion!"

After writing this, the notebook was blank again. Professor Tan turned to the next page and saw that starting from this page, there were actually a bunch of symbols written with a pen on it, none of which we could understand.

There are seven or eight pages of these symbols, and I don’t know what they are written on.

"Professor, what is this?" Looking at these weird symbols, I immediately asked.

Professor Tan is well-informed. These symbols are somewhat like words, but not quite like them. I have never seen such symbols before. Xiao Wang definitely cannot count on them. I think Professor Tan must know.

Sure enough, Professor Tan took one look and said: "This seems to be text."

"Writing! How could some writing be written like this?" I am also a talented student in archeology. Ordinary ancient writings are not difficult for me, but these writings are completely unlike any domestic and foreign writings I know. I even

I don’t think it’s words, but it looks like random graffiti symbols!

Professor Tan shook his head and said: "We have many kinds of ancient writing. For example, tadpole writing, do you think it looks like writing?"

Speaking of tadpole writing, I was immediately speechless. This tadpole writing is really not literate!

"Professor, what do you mean, Professor Liu wrote this here intentionally?" I said.

"Yes, I know Lao Liu very well. He would not write such an article for no reason." Professor Tan said with certainty.

"Then what does this mean?" I continued to ask, but Professor Tan shook his hand and said, "Let's read on first, maybe there will be hints later."

"Yes!" I nodded vigorously, and then Professor Tan turned another page and saw this palm-sized insect clearly drawn on the notebook!

There are three strange characters written on the side of this insect! Although we can't understand this kind of characters, we are almost sure that the meaning of these three characters is...
Chapter completed!
