But Zhang Fengyu stopped on the second floor and pointed to the stairs: "Mother-in-law is upstairs."
Nan Yingjian was a little strange: "Why don't you come together?"
Zhang Fengyu said: "I'm going to find the professor and them."
"Hey? Then where can I find you?"
Zhang Fengyu looked back at Nan Yingjian and said: "I think... we should have no chance to meet again... Goodbye."
With that said, Zhang Fengyu went downstairs.
Nanying Jian was left alone and messy in the wind.
What does it mean to have no chance to meet again...that's what you mean? Where is the person?
Well... I don’t want to think about that much anymore, let’s go up and meet this 137-year-old mother-in-law first.
Arrived on the third floor.
The airy environment from all sides makes people feel particularly comfortable.
The room, like other places, is extremely simple...but the straw mat here is new and soft to the touch.
There was a thin figure sitting behind the gauze curtain. It seemed that she must be Granny Zhuo Yun.
"Hello..." Nan Yingjian came over obediently. In fact, it is reasonable to say that she is not too young, but perhaps due to genetic modification, Nan Yingjian's mental age is fixed at 2
Looking like thirty years old.
"Um...Hello." Grandma Zhuo Yun did not look back, she was still weaving the straw mat slowly.
Uh...nothing more to say?
Nan Yingjian was a little embarrassed. After thinking for a while, she asked: "Do you... know me?"
Grandma Zhuo Yun smiled slightly, put down the straw mat and said: "A few days ago, the master came to tell me that there would be a friend coming from afar. I have been thinking about who it is... but I didn't expect... it was you.
.”
Nan Ying Jian was stunned: "Friend? Mother-in-law, may I ask... what is your name?"
Grandma Zhuo Yun turned around and pulled up the gauze curtain.
The white gauze was put away, and Nan Yingjian and Granny Zhuo Yun faced each other. The moment their eyes met, Nan Yingjian was stunned.
The 137-year-old woman in front of her clearly looks like an underage girl.
It's just that those eyes are full of vicissitudes of life...and his whole body's temperament is much calmer.
Seeing such a magical mother-in-law, Nan Yingjian secretly thought: ‘Tianshan Child Mother?!!!’
Of course, complaints are complaints.
After Nan Yingjian was surprised, she immediately began to try to identify who the person in front of her was.
This Granny Zhuo Yun has a delicate face and a thin figure. She is not at all like the aborigines who were born on the Mongolian prairie. She has a delicate and delicate beauty like the Jiangnan water town.
Although her eyes were full of vicissitudes of life, they were exceptionally bright, and her pupils were still aqua blue, making them look very beautiful.
Coupled with the fact that her skin was crystal clear, with no wrinkles on either face or arms, and was as smooth as silk, Nan Yingjian became more and more suspicious of this one hundred and thirty-seven-year-old setting.
But she is so beautiful... Even a beauty with high qualifications like Nan Yingjian couldn't help but sigh.
After sighing, Nan Yingjian confirmed one thing...
She didn't recognize the person in front of her.
At least there has never been such a person in her memory.
But after Granny Zhuo Yun saw Nan Yingjian, her eyes showed a little excitement. Her eyes when she looked at Nan Yingjian were full of tenderness.
This left Nan Yingjian a little confused.
"Mother-in-law...you...are so beautiful." Nan Yingjian laughed dryly, and her compliment was a little awkward.
Grandma Zhuo Yun covered her mouth with a smile and said softly: "Are you scared? An old man who is more than one hundred and thirty years old looks like he is sixteen or seventeen years old."
Nan Yingjian smiled awkwardly. Not only was this mother-in-law beautiful, she also had a gentle voice, which was very comforting to listen to.
"Well... to be honest, it's a bit unexpected, but... I believe something special must have happened to you, otherwise... why... please don't be offended."
Zhuo Yun's mother-in-law didn't blame her after hearing this. She said, "Let me tell you a story."
Nan Yingjian was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay."
…
"Speaking of it.
That was more than a century ago.
Probably in the summer of 2070.
I was only twenty-nine years old at the time.
My colleagues and I are conducting archaeological exploration of an ancient ruins buried deep under the sand dunes in the Taklimakan Desert.
When we first entered the ruins, we all thought that this should be a royal city left by some ancient ancestors, or the tomb of an ancient emperor.
The next plot should develop like many tomb exploration novels.
hehe……
But actually.
I guessed wrong, we all guessed wrong.
This is not a relic left by the ancestors of the earth...but an older and more mysterious 'intruder' from another world."
…
"Intruder?" Nan Yingjian was a little confused.
…
“It’s a bit puzzling to call an ancient ruin an ‘intruder’.
But please believe me, it is easier to understand its existence in terms of "intruders"."
…
"Um...Okay, you continue, I won't disturb you anymore."
…
"The ruins are buried a thousand meters beneath the dunes.
Before the large-scale excavation work began, our advance team first explored the ruins.
Well, that's an amazing underground wonder.
The golden door is full of exquisite reliefs.
Although we don’t know the meaning behind these reliefs, it is enough to make us very excited.
This exploration of the unknown** makes us become more and more careless.
So when we entered the ruins, we discovered that someone was missing."
…
Speaking of this, Nan Yingjian could clearly see that the smile on Granny Zhuo Yun's face dimmed.
This must be the turning point of everything.
…
"The first person to discover that a team member was missing was my good friend, He Peng.
He is a philologist, and he can decipher the mysteries of many ancient texts.
At the same time, he is also the team's psychological counselor, mainly responsible for recording every word and deed of the team members in order to analyze and identify potential dangerous intentions.
After He Peng discovered that someone was missing, he immediately stopped the exploration and asked everyone to retreat to the entrance of the corridor on the upper floor.
We do this immediately after waking up from the dream.
After an inventory, we discovered that the missing person was a female team member.
Her name is Fu Peipei.
He is also a person engaged in text research.
But since she joined the team, He Peng has been doubting her identity.
He Peng believed that her identity and qualifications were fake and she should not join the team at all...
At first I thought He Peng was right, but I don’t know why... I like Fu Peipei very much... Even though I later found out that He Peng was right, not only was Fu Peipei’s identity and qualifications fake, she didn’t even
My name is Fu Peipei.
Her real name...should be...
Yougege!
"I thought there was something wrong with her a long time ago. It's fine now. She's missing..." He Peng was discussing the next plan with Ling Xin, the leader of the team.
But others felt that they were just arguing and making no progress at all.
"The qualification review is a matter from above. I am only responsible for bringing you down and then taking you back! What's the use of complaining to me now?" Ling Xin was also very angry.
He Peng was stunned: "What? Are you still planning to get her back?"
Ling Xin: "Of course, I must be responsible for every team member. You don't want us to just ignore you if you get lost, right?"
He Peng had nothing to say, but when he returned to the team, he couldn't help but muttered: "This is sending death!"
Zhuo Yun heard this very clearly.
She leaned over quietly and asked, "Are you okay?"
He Peng usually has a good temper, but since entering this ruins, he has been restless and restless all day long.
"I'm fine...but remember...if an accident happens, you must follow me! They are all unreliable! They are all fascinated by this ghost place!"
Zhuo Yun did not fully understand the meaning of He Peng's words at the time.
She thought He Peng was just dissatisfied with the person in charge and Peipei.
But……
In the next few days, Zhuo Yun began to understand what He Peng meant.
Disappearances are on the rise.
And they are all in the same time interval.
Every day from 12 o'clock to 1 o'clock, or...00 o'clock to 1 o'clock in the morning.
During this hour, the team seemed to be under a spell, and there would always be people who disappeared inexplicably.
At first, they just disappeared one by one.
But when there were only seven people left in the thirteen-person team.
Then two or three people started to disappear...
In the end, only Zhuo Yun and He Peng were left.
At this time, Zhuo Yun once thought that she and He Peng were really missing...
The person in charge and the others were not separated at all.
After this idea appeared, Zhuo Yun began to doubt He Peng and the entire exploration plan.
He Peng is a philologist and a psychological counselor in the team.
He is paying attention to everyone's psychological dynamics all the time, and uses some special methods to relieve everyone's psychological pressure and guide everyone.
This kind of relief and guidance usually relies on specific suggestive words.
For example, He Peng often said, "You must follow me! They are not reliable!"
Zhuo Yun never doubted this and kept doing it...but in the end...when He Peng disappeared, she suddenly came to her senses.
Perhaps He Peng discovered the secret of this ruins.
So...he decided to take possession of it all in his own way.
The time period of disappearance is very fixed... As long as everyone stops moving forward during that time period or stays awake, there should not be continuous disappearances.
But no one did this.
Even if Zhuo Yun had something in mind, he didn't say it out... because He Peng kept telling her.
"They are not reliable!"
So He Peng could hypnotize everyone one by one without anyone noticing, and then take them to an unknown corridor.
Thinking of this, Zhuo Yun felt very scared and painful.
Because He Peng is not only her good friend, but there are also some secrets between them that go beyond the scope of friends.
However... He Peng still "betrayed" her.
"The ruins are like a labyrinth that continues to penetrate deeper into the abyss of the earth...
I wandered in it, not knowing whether I was returning to the surface or going deeper underground...
In short, I did not stop before I collapsed due to hunger and sleepiness...
I just kept walking forward until... I saw a beam of light... I thought I was safe... I even had hallucinations...
There was a flashing figure in the light, as if someone was running towards me..."
