Jiang Yi is very efficient. After I came out of his office, someone sent the map to Brother Chengqing's house in the afternoon.
By now, we have all understood the conditions proposed by Jiang Yi. They are exactly the same as the conditions for Master and others' trip. Jiang Yi will send someone to follow our actions this time and record the entire process.
"However, there is a slight difference from the last time, that is, the department will participate in the operation when necessary." This was a condition Jiang Yi added temporarily.
And I was resistant to such conditions from the bottom of my heart. After all, this was our private action. If it involved the department, it would have changed. So I was more cautious and asked: "What is it?" When necessary?"
"It's like, when it's clear that you can find Penglai, at other times, it depends on the specific situation." When Jiang Yi said this, he didn't tolerate my rejection at all, but his expression was very calm, but I seemed to have seen a The old fox was smiling.
Leaving in a hurry because I had no room for rejection.
At the same time, I didn’t pay too much attention to details. If I could turn back time and be more mature and careful at that time, would I be able to notice even one detail in the office
Many years later, I thought about this, but found that no matter what, I could not discover this detail. Maybe the time had not come yet, and I should not know about this shocking event at that time.
When the map was delivered to my door, it was two people carrying a box. In my imagination, it was just a map. Was it that exaggerated
But when I opened the box, I realized that it was not an exaggeration, because there were hundreds of maps densely packed in the box.
"You can refer to these maps. It is best to control the time within three days. If it is too long, we may not be able to explain it. In addition, the contents of the maps must not be spread to outsiders or copied in any form. If, in the future, one of these If this map is found and circulated by us, you will be in trouble." After putting down the box, a staff member said to us.
The words were not very polite, and even sounded like a stern warning. However, we can understand the importance and confidentiality of this kind of thing, so we naturally agreed without hesitation.
In the next three days, we naturally studied these hundred or so maps. To be precise, these hundred or so maps were all about the areas with water in the Chinese territory.
I have to lament the accuracy of this professional map. The various markings and terrain are no less than ten times more accurate than ordinary maps. To use a metaphor, a civilian map, and a relatively more accurate regional map, is like a map of a region. Zhang Laolinzi’s map.
At most, it can only mark the scope of the old forest, down to what kind of mountain this is and what kind of ridge it is. However, the terrain cannot be accurately expressed on the map. It is like within what range there is a deep ditch and how long it is. How deep, how wide, climatic conditions, and even geological structure!
This kind of map will obviously do this kind of detailed work, and the general direction will be clear.
For example, the map Jiang Yi gave me was a map that pointed towards the direction of their department's work. To explain it more simply, in addition to the necessary markings on a precise map, its direction was 'supernatural' and 'mysterious events'.
To put it simply, when I opened the map, I felt like I was opening a summary story book. What supernatural or mysterious events had happened in this location? Those with question marks have not been verified.
This is really amazing. I didn't expect that within the scope of China, a map could hide so many secrets.
However, the focus of our work is not to investigate these supernatural events, but to find out the specific connections with the three chains from these sophisticated maps. Faced with so many maps, this work is undoubtedly complicated and cumbersome.
But just like when you are traveling in the right direction, as long as you keep going forward, you will definitely find an exit. On the afternoon of the next day, we completely deciphered a chain. The seemingly chaotic lines on it were just segments. River surface, river surface!
These rivers are not completely connected, and it is not clear from the chain that they have anything in common. However, the department-specific map given by Jiang Yi was inadvertently a big help. These rivers are all the water where mysterious events have occurred. What are the specifics? To sum up, the mysterious events point directly to the presence of strange creatures in the river.
After identifying those areas, the only thing left is to find detailed maps of these areas and record some key data. We cannot copy the map, but recording some data will not have a great impact.
What makes me regretful is that not all the lines on the chain can be compared with the map. Although it is regrettable, I also know that this is normal. Take the DVD that Master left us as an example. There is an underground road in it. Underground river, it is normal not to be able to find the relevant map.
On the morning of the third day, we once again decrypted a chain, which had many small and large chains scattered on it. At a glance, this chain can only be associated with the universe and the starry sky. If it is really like that, There is absolutely nothing we can do.
However, after interpreting it, I discovered that these dots distributed according to certain positions turned out to be lakes!
Rivers, lakes and seas are the only remaining chain, but we have no choice, because the map Jiang Yi provided us is for the waters in China, and the navigation map of this vast sea is not included.
So there is no comparison object. We can only stare at the chain with big eyes and small eyes, and we can't analyze the reason at all.
"Perhaps the secret recorded by this chain is the most important, but it is also dispensable for us. According to our actions, we want to find the walking dragon. After entering the sea, we just follow it, so..." I said it was me. What I think in my heart is also true.
Although there are some doubts, just like after entering the sea, it is obviously just following, and the specially recorded route map has no meaning at all. You can't say that every Jiao who successfully enters the sea takes the same route, right? So why bother to record it
Or maybe what is recorded on it is not about the sea at all
I can’t think too much about this doubt. In the end, I can only explain it in my own way, which is that it may contain more amazing secrets, but for us now, it makes no sense!
The three days were a little tight, but at least we had done the work we needed to do with sufficient manpower. In such busyness, our actions finally made a big step forward. We were more productive than before. Have goals and destinations.
"Rivers, lakes and seas, our action this time can be divided into three steps, from easy to difficult, first the lake, then the river, and finally the sea. What Chengyi means is that there are still some trivial matters to deal with, and the action The date will be set at the end of May or the beginning of June. Before then, we will act separately and make all the preparations. In the remaining time, we should spend more time with our family and friends." Brother Chengqing is good at summarizing, After completing this series of tedious things, he said this.
Brother Chengqing said the last sentence in an understatement, but the meaning behind it cannot be considered carefully. Rivers, lakes and seas, unknown territories, unknown dangers. According to the comparison of maps and chains, most of the places we are going to are If something strange happens, no one can guarantee that they will come out alive. Even if there are four demon souls, we can't guarantee anything.
Spending more time with family and friends, is this also a kind of farewell
This short gathering is here. We were busy in the rest of the time. In order to go on the voyage and various trivial matters, I was also assigned some tasks. Almost every day, I seemed a little exhausted.
But I am determined to finish these things before the Spring Festival. I want to spend a Spring Festival with my family. In my memory, I really don’t spend many Spring Festivals with my family. This time is a must. I hope it is not what we want. It’s the last Spring Festival, but I can’t guarantee it won’t be.
When the severe cold of winter reaches its peak, spring is approaching.
On this day, I finally finished the last thing and set foot on my way home. I was preparing to live a stable life, which might only be a few short months. After that, I would face another An adventure that lasts for who knows how long.
Life is often like this. People who crave stability often find it difficult to live in peace. People who crave excitement often feel bored. If you think about it, this is not a coincidence, but because people often see more than what they already have. Craving for something you don’t have.
If you knew how to be satisfied, wouldn't your life be happier? Or, a better mentality is just that I enjoy every pursuit process. This may be the true meaning.
