Even though it was daytime, Deputy Director Zhou's expression was already very abnormal at the moment. The timid colleague beside him began to tremble subconsciously. I don't know what happened to Deputy Director Zhou. In such a short period of time, he also
It's impossible to guess anything.
"Director Zhou, what's wrong with you?"
I asked below, but I didn't dare to approach him. Deputy Director Zhou didn't say a word. He kept the convulsive expression on his face for a few seconds. The cup in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and then,
He stood up unsteadily. Now the three of us were nervous, because we could see that he stood up and seemed to be moving.
puff……
Just as we were nervous, I heard a slight muffled sound, just like a small firecracker buried in the snow. With this very light muffled sound, Deputy Director Zhou's
A stream of blood suddenly spurted out from his chest. Before we could react, his body immediately fell to the ground.
After he fell down, he twitched a few times and stopped moving. Only the wound on his chest was still bleeding out. In a short time, blood flowed all over the floor.
Seeing this scene, I seemed to start twitching, because the way Deputy Director Zhou looked now was almost the same as the way Mr. Chen was killed. When I rushed to Mr. Chen’s house on Friday, he was already dead.
I was not able to witness the death process, but after seeing what happened to Deputy Director Zhou, I seemed to have seen Mr. Chen die in the same way.
Invisible murderer! Undetectable!
I couldn't help but look around the conference room. This conference room was very familiar to me. I didn't know how many meetings I had held here in the past few years. I couldn't see or feel anything. I suddenly
I remembered Mr. Chen’s unfinished last words.
It's coming...
I don’t think Mr. Chen will make clerical errors. He is such a rigorous person and has a profound cultural heritage. Even in a hurry and nervous situation, it is impossible for him to write such an important word wrong. In fact, when Mr. Chen was killed
, has already vaguely pointed out to me that the murderer is not a human being, otherwise I would not use "it" to describe it.
The three of us were stunned by the scene in front of us at first. The less courageous person then let out a scream and jumped out of the conference room as if running away. At this time, the entire institute exploded, and almost everyone was involved.
People came outside the conference room to watch. Some older people tentatively observed Deputy Director Zhou. The director panicked for a moment, and then ordered everyone to stay calm and call 1 and 110.
I stood outside the conference room and looked at the scene in the room through the glass window. For a moment, I was convinced of Mr. Chen’s last words. I still couldn’t explain why Deputy Director Zhou died in such a strange way.
, but I probably know why he died.
At that time, the Bird's Beak Cauldron was unearthed in the Western Zhou Dynasty. It was Deputy Director Zhou who was the first to know the news and arranged for it to be transported back to the institute. He was in charge of the business, but he was not very familiar with the restoration work, so he did not provide guidance, but just sent instructions.
mission. Next, Mr. Chen got the news and arrived, and the Bird's Beak Cauldron was transported to Xi'an. Our institute had to arrange for someone to accompany it. Originally, I had to participate in this accompanying mission, but Mr. Chen refused to do so and refused to let me go with him.
, I had to listen to him, and I did feel that there was something strange about Mr. Chen at that time, so I stayed.
But Deputy Director Zhou insisted on following Mr. Chen to Xi'an. He was not worried about Mr. Chen's old age and any accidents on the way, because after the bronzes from the Western Zhou Dynasty were sent there, the relevant leaders of the administration would definitely come forward to receive them.
, Deputy Director Zhou would not miss such an opportunity. Mr. Chen also tried to dissuade him, but Deputy Director Zhou was not me and insisted on following. In the end, Mr. Chen really had no choice.
Nothing happened when the Bird's Beak Cauldron was sent away, but after what happened with Mr. Chen, I felt that Vice Director Zhou's death must have something to do with the Bird's Beak Cauldron.
A strong sense of crisis immediately enveloped me. Could it be that people who have been in contact with the Bird's Beak Cauldron will die in such bizarre ways? I have done preliminary cleaning of the Bird's Beak Cauldron. No wonder Mr. Chen warned me to leave immediately in his last words.
, because no one can save me.
I couldn't help but think wildly. People from the hospital and the public security department arrived one after another. There was no need for Deputy Director Zhou to be sent to the hospital again. Among the few police officers who appeared at the scene, there was Hou Jin Heng. His eyes were very sharp, and he was
He saw me right away in the crowd and said hello to me.
"I don't know if it's a coincidence." Hou Jinheng glanced at the corpse of Deputy Director Zhou: "The Cultural Relics Institute only has such a small space, and there have been two murder cases in a row."
"Look..." I asked tentatively: "Is the situation of the deputy director very similar to Mr. Chen?"
"Let's talk about the specific process just now."
I didn't hide anything, and told the detailed process in detail. This kind of murder is almost unimaginable in the eyes of ordinary people, because there is no trace of the perpetrator at all, and the murder can only be attributed to one's own illness or a certain person.
Some unknown natural accidents. But I know very well that this is definitely not an accident.
During the conversation with Hou Jinheng, I was already in a state of confusion. I was thinking about whether I should leave here and find a place to hide for the time being.
After this incident, my normal work was completely disrupted. I thought about it all morning and went to the director to ask for a few days off.
"Well, Mr. Chen's funeral needs people to attend to it, so I can't take care of it." The director rubbed his temples and said, "Just worry more about it."
After getting off work at noon, I ran home as fast as I could. There were some things that I had to ask Wu Shengli for clarification, because they already involved my own safety.
"You know, Lao Zhou is also dead." I said directly to Wu Shengli: "The scene when Lao Chen died is almost the same."
"The invisible murderer?" Wu Shengli's mental state was very bad. It seemed that he could no longer stand up. He was like a pile of limp meat lying on the sofa. He opened his eyes with difficulty and said: "I said
, Chen Kegui’s death is not the end.”
"What on earth is going on? Tell me, will everyone who comes into contact with the Bird's Beak Cauldron...all die?" I immediately thought that the Bird's Beak Cauldron from the Western Zhou Dynasty was an ominous evil weapon:
"Also, how did Mr. Chen and Director Zhou die?"
"I can't explain clearly. The murderer is invisible and no one can see it." Wu Shengli said: "Theoretically speaking, everyone who has come into contact with the Bird Beak Cauldron will not necessarily die, because this cauldron is like a person in the world.
When a program is activated, only the person who activates it will suffer bad luck."
"So...what about me?" I was extremely uneasy. After asking this question, I stared at Wu Shengli. When I was cleaning the bird's beak tripod, I had a very "close" contact.
Wu Shengli didn't answer me right away. He turned over again and was silent for a long time before slowly saying: "Beifang, to be honest, I don't know if you will die. That's why I warned you before. It's not just mine."
Time is running out, and you may not have much time either."
My scalp felt numb as soon as I heard it, but in the panic, I still kept a clear mind. In terms of time, there was almost half a month between the time when the Bird Beak Cauldron was transported to now, and Mr. Chen and Deputy Zhou
The time of death between the director and the director was also two days apart, which shows that this kind of death has no time pattern. Before I encountered clear danger, I had to find a way to save my life.
"You know about these situations, right?" I asked Wu Shengli: "How do you avoid danger, right?"
"Whether you admit it or not, the two of us are like grasshoppers tied to a rope now. I don't know how to avoid it, but at least I have a clear direction." Wu Shengli took a breath and said: "
The inscription on the Bird's Beak Cauldron, only the inscription gives us a glimmer of hope to survive."
I hesitated for a moment, because I could already see that Wu Shengli really needed the inscription, and even used the inscription to save his life, so I couldn't rule out that he exaggerated the facts in order to survive and wanted to defraud me of the inscription.
"I don't have an inscription." I said, "But Mr. Chen is doing the repair work behind the Bird's Beak Tripod himself. He may have an inscription, and I can go find it."
"Yes, yes." Wu Shengli's gloomy eyes flashed with light: "Chen Kegui will not leave an inscription when he sees the bird's beak tripod! If you look for it, the thing may be hidden in a very secret place. You
Go find it!”
"But before that, you should simply tell me what's going on, right?"
Wu Shengli was silent again, probably thinking about whether to tell me this. After a while, he said: "Beifang, if you ask others about these things, they may not know. Originally, I planned to keep it to myself.
But I already know, you will go look for the inscription only after I tell you these things, right?"
"You can think of this as an exchange."
I saw Wu Shengli's energy getting worse and worse, and I was worried that something would happen to him, so I brought him some food and Red Bull. Wu Shengli ate very little, drank a few sips of drinks, and then continued to treat me.
Said: "Chen Kegui knows more details, but he is already dead."
Regarding the Bird's Beak Ding in the Western Zhou Dynasty, it first happened in 1885. The location was Dayanpo in Sichuan. Near Dayanpo is the Liangzihe Reservoir. For many years, this was a very ordinary place until 1885.
In the summer, due to successive heavy rains, the water level of the Liangzi River and even the reservoir rose sharply. The water that broke out of the embankment and the heavy rain all rushed to the relatively low-lying Dayanpo.
In this way, some incredible things emerged from Dayanpo.
