The man looks like his hair is grey. He looks like he is in his fifties or sixties. He is thin and thin. Although there are many wrinkles on his face, the edges and corners are still there. It can be seen that he should be a handsome man when he was young. man.
When the old man was looking at the dice, he saw Zhou Wen and the others, and knew they were coming, but he didn't seem to have the desire to communicate with Zhou Wen and the others, and just stood there slumped.
"What's your name, big brother?" Liu Yun asked.
Hearing the voice, the old man subconsciously replied, "My name is Chu He, and I'm a professor at the History Department of Imperial University."
"Hehe? Is your wife called Dangwu?" Liu Yun joked.
"It's not the hoe, it's the Chu River in the Chu River and the Han Dynasty." The old man didn't have a sense of humor, or in such an environment, there was nothing that could make him feel funny, so the old man just explained seriously.
Zhou Wen's eyes widened when he heard the old man's words, and he asked in disbelief, "Chu He? How many professors named Chu He are there in the History Department of Imperial College?"
"Only me." Chuhe seemed to be a little numb, he didn't care why Zhou Wen asked such a strange question at all.
Zhou Wen looked at Chu He excitedly. In the entire Imperial College, Zhou Wen only knew the name of one professor, and that was Chu He.
The reason why Zhou Wen can remember this name is not because Chu He is famous. No matter how famous Chu He is in his industry, Zhou Wen will not care about him, let alone remember his name.
But this Chuhe is different, because there is a professor of the History Department of Imperial College, who is a member of the old principal's inspection team.
Zhou Wen had seen Chuhe's name and information on the list, and also seen the group photo of the expedition team.
It's just that Zhou Wen only took a rough look at that time. Chuhe was not his target, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Looking back now, this Chuhe is indeed somewhat similar to the Chuhe in the photo, but the Chuhe in the photo is fatter, not so thin, and looks better, with a red face and black hair, not like now With such gray hair, Chuhe was in high spirits at that time.
"Is this really Professor Chuhe from the expedition team? Shouldn't he have entered the Zhuolu battlefield with the old principal and the others? They disappeared together, how could they be here?" Zhou Wenwen has already determined that the old principal should be He was killed, but a person who should have died with the old principal appeared in Huangquan City, which made Zhou Wen's heart turbulent again.
"Could it be said that Huangquan City is really the place where human beings return after death? Could it be that the people in this city are not living people, but dead ghosts? Then what are Liuyun and I? When we don't know, we are actually dead, and our souls have entered Huangquan City?" Zhou Wen shook his head, throwing this absurd thought out of his mind.
"Professor Chu, have you ever been to the Zhuolu battlefield to do research work?" Zhou Wen asked, staring at Chuhe, hoping that this Chuhe was Professor Chuhe of the expedition team.
If they were really the same person, since Professor Chuhe was still alive, the old principal probably did not die. After all, neither the old principal's body nor other relics were found in Zhuolu.
From childhood to adulthood, there were not many people who were kind to Chuhe, and the old principal was one of them. Zhou Wen felt that a good person like the old principal should not die so early, at least he didn't want the old principal to die so early.
"No." Chuhe shook his head and said.
"Why not? Think about it again, the Federation invited you to participate in the expedition team to Zhuolu. You, Professor Ouyang Ting, and several other experts and professors went to Zhuolu together..." Zhou Wen said.
After talking for a while, Chuhe's thinking seemed to be a lot more active. After listening to what Zhou Wen said, he lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "I remembered that there was such a thing. At that time, an organization affiliated to the Federation really They invited me to do research in Zhuolu, and I remember old Professor Ouyang Ting was on the list at that time."
"You went to Zhuolu with them, why are you here alone?" Zhou Wen asked a little excitedly. He had seen other people on the long street just now, and he didn't find the old principal and other members of the expedition team. .
But Chuhe shook his head and said, "No, no, I didn't go to Zhuolu, because I made a major discovery at that time, and I was going to do research in the Taklamakan Desert, so I declined the invitation and didn't go to Zhuolu. "
"You declined the invitation?" Zhou Wen looked at Chuhe with an incredulous look on his face.
He had read the materials of the Zhulu Expedition Team. Although the materials after the disappearance were gone, the records were very detailed before that, and even when they were stationed, they had their check-in records.
Many people in the resident had met Professor Chuhe, and some had chatted with him. Now Chuhe actually said that he had never been to Zhuolu, and rejected the invitation from the very beginning. This made Zhou Wen think a lot of thoughts.
"Is this Chuhe lying? Or did he really not go to Zhuolu? If he really didn't go to Zhuolu, then who is that Chuhe in Zhuolu? Is this Chuhe fake, or is it the expedition team?" Is Chuhe fake? Or is it the same person? After Chuhe died, his soul entered Huangquan City and he has forgotten the past? This is not right. He still remembers his name and knows that he is the capital of the empire. The professor of the college doesn't look like his memory has been washed away..." Zhou Wen's brain was in chaos, and he couldn't figure it out for a while.
"Yes, I refused." Chuhe said bitterly: "At the beginning, I also hesitated. If I chose to go to Zhuolu, I would not be trapped in this hell-like place."
Zhou Wen thought to himself: "If you had gone to Zhuolu back then, your end might not have been better than it is now. At least you are still alive now. The old principal and the others are not even sure whether they are dead or not."
"Junior brother, we will talk about those who have something or nothing later, we don't have much time, let's ask the key point." Liu Yun said anxiously.
Zhou Wen nodded and asked, "Professor Chu, how did you enter Huangquan City? What's going on here?"
Chu He said: "I was studying the ruins of the Niya civilization in the great desert at that time, but unexpectedly I encountered a big sandstorm. After the sandstorm passed, I saw Huangquan City, and then there was a big fire all around, so I had to Fleeing into Huangquan City."
Chuhe and Zhou Wen's experience of entering Huangquan City is actually similar, but Zhou Wen thought of another very important question.
