Chen Ziyun didn't underestimate the other person's ability just because he was a woman. For some reason, when the woman's eyes fell on him, he felt faintly palpitating in his heart, like a little white rabbit being targeted by a big bad wolf.
generally.
"Ye Ya." After about a few seconds, a cold voice came from the woman in front.
Chen Ziyun gave a bitter laugh. This woman named Ye Ya felt like a lump of ice from millions of years ago.
Following Ye Ya, Chen Ziyun noticed that the width of each step she took was within the range of eighty centimeters, and her body was very straight. Only people who come from one place can walk with such meticulousness.
In this way, that is the army.
Chen Ziyun was not surprised when he thought of Ye Ya's possible identity. Most of the people who could hang out in such a secret place as the 042 agency were elites selected by the military.
However, Chen Ziyun was never as interested in Ye Ya's identity as he was on the fourth floor. After confirming that Ye Ya was not dangerous to him, Chen Ziyun focused on the structure of this floor.
The fourth underground floor looks very large. The entire underground space covers an area of about more than a thousand square meters. There are countless bookshelves neatly arranged. However, the bookshelf rows here are not made of wood, but with a silver-black metal luster, and the bookshelf
What was placed was not a book, but the same silver-black metal box. There was a label on the metal box. After glancing at some of the words on the label, Chen Ziyun knew the properties of the metal.
It's metallic silver.
The writing on the label on the box made Chen Ziyun clear that the boxes contained some precious ancient books or hard-won information. For a long time, the safest way to preserve ancient books was to place them in silver boxes. This is the best way to preserve them.
To avoid breeding insects and causing inevitable damage to ancient books. However, the value of metallic silver is not low. Even the British Museum does not have such pride. Of course, the scientific and technological means of preserving ancient books and cultural relics are no longer what they used to be. This method,
It can only be regarded as an old and clumsy method. These bookshelves and silver boxes should have been here a long time ago.
The whole journey was very silent, especially because Ye Ya in front of him walked silently, which made Chen Ziyun feel depressed. When he reached the end, a space separated by glass appeared in front of him.
Chen Ziyun could see everything in the room at a glance. It was arranged like an ordinary office. In front of a huge desk, a woman who seemed to be in her forties was holding a document and reviewing it.
Woman? Another woman! Chen Ziyun looked strange. He never imagined that the real person in charge of the 042 organization was actually a woman!
After Ye Ya opened the door of the office, she walked over to the woman who was reviewing documents at her desk, standing upright and looking intently.
The woman who was reviewing the documents frowned, as if she was worried. When she heard the footsteps, she raised her head, nodded to Chen Ziyun, a calm smile appeared on her face, and said: "You are here. Sit down for a while first."
, wait until I finish reading this document." His voice was kind and a little tired.
Chen Ziyun nodded slightly and said nothing. He silently found a seat and sat down, waiting for the next sentence.
About five minutes passed. The woman picked up a pen and wrote a line of words at the end of the document. Then she relaxed her frown, picked up the coffee on the side, and took a sip. She raised her head and glanced at Chen Ziyun, a little confused.
He glanced at the woman next to him with dissatisfaction and said, "Ye Ya, why don't you pour a glass of water for the guest?"
After hearing what his boss said, Ye Ya was unmoved and said calmly: "He's not thirsty." After saying that, he asked Chen Ziyun: "Right?"
Chen Ziyun showed a smile and said: "Yes, I'm really not thirsty." He didn't know how to address the other person, so when he spoke, he deliberately ignored the other person's title. It can be heard from the conversation between the two that the two
It seemed that it was not a normal superior-subordinate relationship, and Chen Ziyun felt a little strange.
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Wen Qing. I am one of the leaders of Organization 042." The woman smiled and said, "Just call me by my name." She stood up, poured a glass of water for Chen Ziyun, and sat down next to Chen Ziyun.
Opposite me, I looked at Chen Ziyun carefully, with an unchanging smile on my face. After a while, I sighed with emotion: "He looks so much like your father."
Chen Ziyun could only smile. Wen Qing, such a weird name. Chen Ziyun thought to himself. When Wen Qing mentioned his father, he couldn't help but ask: "Madam, do you know my father?"
"Of course. I have worked with him for a while." Wen Qing chuckled and said, "Madam is too old, so you should call me Wen Qing. Your father liked to call me that back then." Mentioning the past,
Wen Qing's face was filled with a faint glow, thinking that those memories were very beautiful.
Seeing Wen Qing's expression, Chen Ziyun suddenly wanted to ask Wen Qing about something about his father. He didn't know much about his father's life, and he didn't bother to learn about it before, but after meeting Shen Sha and Wen Qing, Chen Ziyun suddenly discovered
, in my heart, I seem to be more and more interested and curious about my father's life. What was the relationship between these two main figures of the 042 organization and my father?
"Do you know why I came here to find you?" Wen Qing asked.
Chen Ziyun shook his head, but his heart was full of doubts.
Wen Qing pointed to a wooden box on the desk and said to Ye Ya: "Bring me the box."
The wooden box looks a bit old, but it can be seen from the color that it is made of fine rosewood. The style is very simple. There are no too complicated patterns on the surface, but there are auspicious clouds carved on all sides.
Style. The entire box is slightly larger than two palms, but it is not light either.
After Ye Ya put the box in front of Wenqing, Wenqing fumbled under the wooden box with his hands. Chen Ziyun listened carefully, and there was a "clicking" sound in the wooden box. Apparently, this seemingly simple wooden box actually had something hidden.
Attach the mechanism.
When the last "click" sound suddenly stopped, the wooden box popped open and a crack opened. When the wooden box was opened, a worn-out book lay quietly in it.
Chen Ziyun was surprised that this precious wooden box was only used to store such a tattered volume. It was really incredible.
"This is a travelogue." Wen Qing smiled lightly and said, "It was written by Xu Xiake, a great traveler in the Ming Dynasty."
Chen Ziyun nodded slightly. He had read Xu Xiake's Travel Notes. But he didn't know what was so special about Xu Xiake's Travel Notes that the reporter from 042 Organization could collect it here so solemnly?
"This travel diary is one of those that has been circulated in different worlds. And this travel diary is a relic left by your grandfather. Your father has spent his whole life exploring the secrets in the travel diary." Wen Qing's voice became solemn.
