The atmosphere in the venue was unusually silent.
Jia Liping and Liu Jinghong looked at each other and were speechless.
After a long while, Jia Liping smiled bitterly: "Believe in science. Don't talk about those ghosts and gods."
Liu Jinghong shook his head: "I suddenly thought of a lot of folklore just now. It is said that after death, the soul stays in this world because of some chance encounters with living people. Maybe it is because of fate that living people may Suddenly you will see the existence of that soul."
"you think too much."
"Even if it's not so mysterious. But you always know Tuomeng, right?"
"That's what I think about every day and dream about at night. It's not about dreams but not about dreams."
"Oh, I can't tell you."
Liu Jinghong lost interest in talking, and Jia Liping also lost interest and left. After watching Jia Liping leave, Liu Jinghong frowned and thought:
"Are there ghosts in this world? Are there souls? I suddenly had a hunch that maybe Du Taiping would check the dead people, and maybe he would find Zhang Zhi among the dead people. That would be fun, wouldn't it mean that in the world Is there a ghost?"
Liu Jinghong's expression became inexplicably excited: "So what is the end of science? Is the end of science the metaphysics?"
“…”
Two days later.
The dusty convoy from Xizhou transported the old blind man's body to Laoshan.
The captain of the escort team was so scared that his legs were weak. The person appointed by Dean Li died on the way. As the captain, he bears the brunt of the huge responsibility. He didn't know what Dean Li was going to do with him. If Dean Li wanted to deal with a person, that person would definitely not be able to escape and no one would be able to save him.
He could only hope that Dean Li would be more reasonable.
"Is that Jiang Biao?"
A soldier asked.
"Yes, it's me."
"Dean Li tells you to enter the Kyushu Academy of Sciences, don't be nervous."
"Ah, yes. Yes, thank you brother."
“…”
Under the leadership of the soldiers, the escort did not dare to drive, but pushed a trolley with a black lacquered coffin inside. Pushing the coffin, he walked tremblingly into the most glorious place in the world.
When they walked through the gate and looked at the plaque of 'Kyushu Academy of Sciences', everyone didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
If these accidents hadn't happened, it stands to reason that walking into this place would be a lifetime bragging rights. From now on, when I meet everyone, I will be able to say that I have attended the Kyushu Academy of Sciences.
But the old blind man is dead, and entering this place feels like walking on thin ice.
It was customary to turn east and enter a courtyard. After entering the courtyard, many people were already standing there waiting. Jiang Biao and others immediately held their breath.
"Lin Guofu, take someone to examine the body."
"Yes."
hiss-
Jiang Biao and others took a breath of air-conditioning and watched a fat middle-aged man walking out with gloves and masks. He thought in his mind, is this Lin Guofu, the dean of the Institute of Biology
Then, the person who called his name casually just now, the person standing here with a plain face and a figure as thin as the legend, is that the man in the legend... Li Zhen.
He looked at it twice more, and then immediately lowered his head, not daring to look any further.
Open the coffin. Lin Guofu glanced inside and asked, "How many days has it been?"
Jiang Biao quickly said: "It has been three and a half days since the immortal passed away."
Lin Guofu paused and exchanged glances with several people from the Biological Research Institute. They all felt incredible.
A person who had been dead for three and a half days, being stuffed in a coffin on this hot summer day, did not stink or rot. His skin was still elastic, as if he had just died. The expression of this corpse is a smile. If this kind of smile appears on other corpses, it may make people feel weird and scary.
But from his smile, you can feel the ease and satisfaction of a kind elder. I can't help but be infected by this smile and feel much more relaxed.
"Have you taken any anti-corrosion measures?"
Jiang Biao said quickly: "He died in the yellow sand. We don't have the conditions to take anti-corrosion measures, so we can only drive quickly and transport it there. It's too late."
"It's amazing."
A student from the Institute of Biology sighed with emotion.
Lin Guofu nodded without saying anything and began to perform an autopsy on Mr. Ma.
It was initially determined that he did not die from injuries, poisoning or homicide.
This is enough.
As for further anatomy, forget it. Lin Guofu looked at the old man's peaceful and contented smile and couldn't bear to cut his body open.
Seeing that Lin Guofu confirmed that the old blind man's death had nothing to do with anyone else, Li Zhen sat down and waved to Jiang Biao: "Come here."
Jiang Biao heard this and walked over cautiously.
"Is there something you want to give me? What kind of cloth bag is the telegram talking about?"
Li Zhen asked curiously.
Only then did Jiang Biao react: "Oh, yes, yes, I almost forgot."
"It's okay, don't be nervous. I don't eat people."
Li Zhen's joke made Jiang Biao feel relieved. Dean Li didn't blame himself.
Jiang Biao quickly took off his coat.
At this time, everyone discovered that Jiang Biao was still wearing a coat in the hot summer weather. I can't help but wonder, is this covering maggots
After taking off his coat, Jiang Biao solemnly took out a wooden box from the inner pocket of his coat, carefully held it with both hands and gave it to Li Zhen: "Mr. Ma solemnly said before he died, he did not dare to make any mistakes along the way, so he had to Keep it close. There is just some sweat stuck to it, but I packed it in a wooden box, so there should be no stain."
Li Zhen smiled and said: "You are serious."
With that said, Li Zhen opened the wooden box and saw something randomly wrapped in a piece of cloth. Just as he was about to open it, Jiang Biao quickly said: "Dean Li."
"Um?"
"Mr. Ma made a special confession before his death. He solemnly told his subordinates that they must not be opened by others. They must not be opened by Dean Li on the spot. They must be opened by Dean Li after three years."
Li Zhen frowned: "Three years later?"
There was some uproar in the field.
Everyone is talking a lot, three years from now? Did such a mysterious and mysterious thing really happen? Those legendary tips and tricks? What's the big deal if you know it in advance? Do you still have to wait until three years later
"Yes, Dean Li. Mr. Ma specifically ordered that it must be opened after three years."
Li Zhen took the cloth bag, hesitated for a while, and put it close to his body: "Tell me about the situation at that time.,"
"Yes."
Jiang Biao started to talk from the beginning to the end, from when he received the old blind man in Xizhou to when the old blind man died, he told everything in detail.
"73 was a hurdle, and I got over it. 84 was a hurdle, and I got over it. 98 and 99 were big hurdles, and I can't get over it this time."
"The only regret in this life is that we are only a little bit closer to meeting the chosen one. This is the most regrettable thing. Get a pen and paper."
"You will be lucky enough to meet that person who has gone through many vicissitudes of life. Give this to him and tell him to open it in three years."
“…”
These words exploded in Li Zhen's ears like thunder. Echoes for a long time.
The chosen one? Am I the chosen one
Someone who has gone through many vicissitudes of life? Is it me
Li Zhen took a breath of air, and his whole body was frozen as if possessed.
And many people in the venue were also shocked.
This old blind man actually knew in advance that he was going to die? He said 'someone called me', who was calling him
Everyone couldn't help but look at Li Zhen again, the chosen one
Yes, Master Li is the chosen one. Although it is mysterious, it is true that only the chosen person can explain why Li Zhen is so great.
But... what does it mean to be a person who has experienced the vicissitudes of life
Master Li is only in his twenties, how come he has experienced so many vicissitudes of life
