Mountains and seas have a home

The shotgun was hidden in the box. Ji Yao dragged the box out and put it on the table. After opening the lid, he lifted off the flannelette stretched over it, revealing the black metal stock of the shotgun.He took out the parts and wiped them, even though they were shiny like new.Standing in front of the table, Ji Yao lit a cigarette and bit his mouth, narrowed his eyes and stared at the scattered parts on the table for a while, and then began to skillfully assemble the gun.His necklace was taken off at this time and placed next to the box.

When he was snapping the scope into the mount, someone suddenly called him. Ji Yao picked it up and took a look, and found that it was Fu Zhong who called him.Ji Yao hurriedly put down the half-assembled shotgun in his hand, turned his back and leaned against the table, and moved the cigarette away from his lips: "What's the matter?"

"Hello, sir. I just came back from training, may I come and see you?"

"Why are you looking for me? It's not time for hunting yet. We originally planned to set off late at night and return before tomorrow afternoon." Ji Yao went to the freezer to take out a bottle of Greek liqueur and poured it into a glass.

In the locker room, Fu Zhong dried off the water left after bathing on his body, took out the clean regular clothes and changed into them: "I have something to tell you about the 'Dragon King', and some things from ten years ago."

Ji Yao swallowed a sip of sweet wine, heard that he put the glass on the glass plate, raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't come to find excuses to fool me. If you just want to see me, you don't have to use such an excuse, but I'm not going to refuse you."

The companions who stayed in the task group walked past Fu Zhong one after another. After bidding farewell to them one by one, Fu Zhong found a secluded place to change clothes, and whispered to Ji Yao: "I didn't make excuses, I did learn from others. There were some great things to hear."

"What was it? Who did you hear it from?"

Fu Zhong fastened his belt, suddenly someone came to him, Fu Zhong hurriedly adjusted his state and chatted with him.After sending the people away, Fu Zhong went back and put his backpack on, took a small path and walked out of the simulation training ground: "It's not convenient for the public to say, can we talk face to face? I just walked out of the training ground now, if you agree I'll go east and go to the waiting platform of the transfer car."

Ji Yao swallowed his cigarette a few times, then let out a puff of smoke thinking about it, and then he returned to the unfinished gun: "Go east."

"Got it, sir." Fu Zhong's voice obviously became cheerful, and Ji Yao suddenly felt like he had been fooled by him.But Ji Yao is not upset, maybe Fu Zhong really has some secrets to share with him.

"Have you had dinner yet?" Ji Yao glanced up at the clock, it was dinner time.

Fu Zhong was carrying his backpack on his shoulder and walking towards the east platform.Groups of people came towards him along the way, and Fu Zhong happily passed through the group of tired-looking people, like a happy big dog wagging its tail, and the exhaustion brought about by the high-intensity training in the afternoon was swept away null.He walked through a few blocked doors, found an empty seat on the platform, and stood on tiptoe to look at the empty transfer car track: "I haven't eaten yet, I will call you soon after training, Ready to go to your place."

"I didn't eat either. When you come, buy me some food and bring them here. You can find many good restaurants in the Alpha area, not far from where I live. Chinese food, three vegetarian and two meat, must have potatoes, hear No! Talk to me!"

"Yes, sir, listen, just write it down." Fu Zhong pretended to say, "I wrote it down. If you want to eat Chinese food, three vegetables and two meats, you must have potatoes."

"Shut up!" Ji Yao said, and then he hung up the phone.Ji Yao looked at the phone for a while, rubbed her warm cheeks, and started working again.

It took less than a few minutes for Fu Zhong to arrive at the Alpha District by the transfer car. He found the area where Ji Yao lived with the help of a map, and found a Chinese restaurant nearby that looked good. When he went in, he specifically asked if there were any potatoes.Fu Zhong bought three vegetables and two meats, and also bought yogurt, put them in a food box and sent them to Ji Yao's door.Fu Zhong pressed the door, and then greeted Ji Yao on the display screen.

Ji Yao had been waiting anxiously by the door for a long time. After hearing the door sound, he glanced at the control panel, and then put down the shotgun he was adjusting in his hand.Seeing that he was only wearing a bottoming vest, he deliberately put on a long-sleeved shirt before opening the door pretending to be unhurried.

"God, this is the second time you have entered my door, what on earth do you want?" Ji Yao snatched the lunch box from Fu Zhong's hand.

Fu Zhong unloaded the backpack from his shoulders and put it on the counter: "It's nothing, it's just a good time, and we should let nature take its course."

The hot food gave off an attractive aroma, Ji Yao put them on the table, turned around and asked Fu Zhong: "Did you only buy my portion? You don't eat dinner?"

"Buying two copies is too much, I'm afraid of wasting it."

Ji Yao immediately became vigilant, just like when he was always being tricked by Fu Zhong before and always got tricked: "So what are you going to do?"

Fu Zhong clasped his hands and stood in the middle of the room. He looked at Ji Yao first, then at the plate on the table, and said, "Isn't it just right for us to share together?"

Sure enough, another trap caught Ji Yao, his originally flat eyebrows immediately frowned at this moment, and his neck was red with anger: "Asshole! Who allowed you to decide to eat at the officer's table without authorization?"

Fu Zhong stood there silently, Ji Yao stepped forward to block him, and Fu Zhong did not escape.Ji Yao was outraged, raised his hand and patted Fu Zhong on the head, turned around and went into the cubicle.After a while, he came out of the compartment, holding two bowls, two pairs of chopsticks, and two spoons in his hand.Ji Yao didn't say anything, walked to the dining table and divided the bowls and chopsticks, then sat down and scooped a bowl of rice by herself.

After scooping up the meal, he put the bowl in front of him. He just picked up the chopsticks to eat, but after thinking about it, he put it down again.Fu Zhong stood on the side without moving, no matter how delicious the food was, he would not just serve it on his own.The probability of being hungry and eating together is half, and Fu Zhong knows that he has to fight.

"What are you still doing standing there? Didn't you see that I've divided the bowls and chopsticks among you? Come here quickly! Sit down and eat obediently!" Ji Yao turned his head and stared at him viciously, "But the potatoes are all mine. , don't try to move!"

Fu Xin's heart was full of gongs and drums, and he laughed happily. After washing his hands, he walked over and sat down at the table.Ji Yao deliberately pursed his mouth and refused to look at him. He picked up the chopsticks and took the first bite before Fu Zhong was willing to move his mouth.As expected, Fu Zhong didn't touch the potatoes once.

Halfway through, Ji Yao raised his eyelids and asked, "You said you wanted to tell me about the 'Dragon King', why didn't you speak?"

"I'm afraid you won't feel happy after eating, so I plan to talk about it after dinner."

"It's okay, just say it directly, don't waste time."

Fu Zhong took out his mobile phone and clicked on a recording of the phone call: "These are two calls between me and Chen Wei. For backup, I recorded both. He said he found a strange cellar in He Luan's house." Well, a strange box, a strange pattern."

After Ji Yao finished listening to the recording in silence, he put down his chopsticks and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.Fu Zhong knew that he had an idea in his mind if he didn't say a word, and Ji Yao probably had more thoughts in his stomach than leaves in the tropical rainforest!

"He said that there is such a cellar in an unknown corner of a small house, and there is a sealed box with the pattern of the giant eagle tree of the Executive Department hidden inside?"

"Ah, yes, I think that's roughly how he described it. Do you have any good ideas about this eagle tree? Why do you think it's there?"

"If I have any thoughts, don't I have to wait until I understand the whole story before I say it?" Ji Yao picked up the wooden chopsticks again and picked up a piece of fried potato, rolled it in the sauce, "Let's talk about the one named He Luan first. Man, what's the matter with his father, and why would he say such drunken things?"

Fu Zhong supported his wrists without eating. He thought for a while before saying: "I intuitively think that it doesn't sound like a drunken talk, but rather a leading hint, or something else. Don't forget about He Luan's Mother, before she died, she specifically told him to open that cellar well."

"Then what is the reason?"

"I don't know, I think this is exactly what we need to think about. Maybe there is no connection between the two, but the coincidence of 'Dragon King' appeared, we have to think about it."

Ji Yao rolled the potatoes and made the sauce, but he didn't put it into his mouth, but put it in the Fu Zhong bowl.He calmly withdrew his hand, ignored Fu Zhong's eyes, and continued: "I have made my own decision. After dinner, ask those two people to contact me."

Fu Zhong ate the potatoes and said, "It tastes so good, no wonder you like it."

"That's how you know potatoes are good? Maybe it's because you've never eaten potatoes before?"

"No, sir, I've eaten thousands of potatoes, but this one is the best."

After Ji Yao finished eating the rice in the bowl, she stopped the chopsticks and put them aside, picked up the handkerchief and wiped her fingers.He watched Fu Zhong lower his head and focus on solving the eggplant on the dinner plate, with a slight smile on his face, he got up and left the table: "Everyone loves a mouth."

He Luan is packing his luggage in the house, he will go back to live in the Time Bureau after this weekend.Chen Weihou was cooking ginger soup in the kitchen and was putting down the brown sugar when he received a call from Fu Zhong.

"The chief wants to see you." Fu Zhong told him succinctly.

Chen Wei's hands trembled, and he hurriedly switched the phone to the other ear: "Quickly reveal the information, what does the chief want to tell me? What did I do wrong to alarm such a big Buddha?"

Fu Zhong turned his head and glanced at Ji Yao who was inputting parameters on the communication interface, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to punish you. The chief wants to talk to you about the strange box and the Dragon King. You just need to be honest. Just tell the truth, remember to call He Luan."

"God! How can this be?" Chen Wei hurriedly turned off the fire on the stove, poured the ginger soup in the pot into a porcelain bowl, and gave it to He Luan to drink, "Let us prepare it for me first. Apologize to the Chief."

"Use Xinghe's holographic projection, communication code 'Zhaoshanbai', identification code PLM238, please tune to the unified channel. Xinghe has located your location and is reorganizing the house structure, please keep the communication open so that I can see your figures. "

"Got it, sir!" Chen Wei was scared out of his wits, as if the satellite flew over their heads and was about to launch gamma rays to destroy the ground buildings.He put down his phone, turned on the strobe light, and borrowed He Luan's computer to turn on the holographic projection system.

He Luan washed the ginger soup bowl and hurried back to ask, "What happened?"

"The first-level commander will have an interview with us later, and the topic of the conversation is the strange things we encountered, you understand? Let's go and bring the things here, maybe we have to go to the utility room later."

"How did this alarm the first-level commander?"

Chen Wei raised his head to look at him: "The world is very small!"

After both parties were connected to the call, Ji Yao put on the earphones and sat down beside Fu Zhong.Seeing that his hair was a little messy, Ji Yao reached out to help him straighten it, but Chen Wei bumped into him.Chen Wei clenched his fists violently—brother Seven is Ji Yao's illegitimate son!

Ji Yao didn't talk nonsense with them, and got straight to the point after introducing the people present: "Can I have a look at that box?"

He Luan nodded, went to pick up the box and put it on the table, with a layer of flannel carefully placed underneath.Fearing that the lights in the room were not bright enough, Chen Wei turned on a flashlight to illuminate the pattern at the bottom brightly, and the content of the pattern appeared in the projection pool.

"Sure enough, it is a giant eagle tree. This is the badge of the executive department." Ji Yao said, he zoomed in on the model picture in the projection pool, "He Luan, your father works in the executive department?"

"No, my father was born in the army and has been serving in Tibet. He was discharged in 2010. I have never heard that he has any connection with the time bureau. Nyingchi, Tibet is too far away from the time bureau."

Ji Yao was silent for a while, Fu Zhong sat beside him and did not speak.After a while, Ji Yao asked again: "Where did you find this box?"

"In the utility room of my house, a very inconspicuous corner, probably in the northeast corner of the house."

"Can I see that place?"

He Luan hesitated for a while, then nodded.Chen Wei went to the front and opened the door. After going downstairs, he inserted the key into the lock of the utility room.When they walked in, they immediately felt chills everywhere, but the temperature outside the house was not so low.Chen Wei pressed his chest, and the strange chest tightness found him again. When he walked in here, he always felt oppressed, out of breath, and wanted to run away.

The cellar well was surrounded by wooden boards. He Luan went to the side of the well cover, and Chen Wei illuminated the pattern on the cover with a flashlight.Xinghe automatically scanned the relief above and then modeled and rendered, and then Ji Yao asked them to open the manhole cover.

Chen Wei let go of the shovel, and held up a flashlight to shine into the dark hole, while Ji Yao carefully studied the modeling diagram of Xinghe.He found that the opening of the cellar well was smooth and regular, the outer protective cover made of cement was interspersed with extremely thick steel plates, and there was even a gas pipeline for nerve gas in the interlayer.The walls of the cave are coated with turpentine to prevent moisture, and are divided into upper and lower floors by a hidden door.A large black hole appeared on the bright white ground, as if it was the entrance of a tunnel, and Ji Yao had crawled out of such a hole before.When he climbed out of the tunnel, it was like returning to the world.

Ji Yao stared at the projection without saying anything else.Fu Zhong looked at him several times and found that he had been staring at the hole in a daze.Fu Zhong called him a few times before Ji Yao came back to his senses and put down the yogurt in his hand: "What secrets is hidden in this place that looks like a missile well?"

"There is a metal suitcase on the upper level of the secret door, which is similar to a commonly used combination box, but the giant eagle tree is still printed on the surface. There is only a set of old military uniforms in the box. There is an iron box on the lower level of the secret door, which I just showed you That’s all. That’s all there is to it.”

"Military uniforms are easy to say. Soldiers have the habit of collecting these things after they leave the army. But the badge of the Executive Department is engraved on the iron box, which is obviously something from the Time Bureau. Why does a person who has no connection with the Time Bureau keep this box? We have to Think about it." Ji Yao said, "He Luan, how long have you lived in this building?"

"I've lived here since I was a child, and I live here for as many years as I live." He Luan replied, and he stood up from the entrance of the cave.

Ji Yao closed his eyes and thought for a while, then changed the subject: "I'm sorry to hear the news of your father's death. But I heard that your father often said something very strange when he was drunk, so I can explain in detail what's going on. ?"

"Sir, please allow me to ask why you are so interested in my father's affairs? Does this have any special effect on you?"

"I'm just interested in the 'Dragon King'." Ji Yao clasped his hands, then he stood up and poured two glasses of rum, and gave one to Fu Zhong, "And my father may have had a similar experience with your father, so I have to come and ask."

Both Chen Wei and He Luan's eyelids twitched. He Luan said, "Chief, I haven't told you about my father's experience yet. Where do the similarities come from?"

Ji Yao took a sip of the wine, and talked about the question he hadn't figured out as if he didn't care: "Because my father's disappearance is related to the 'Dragon King', tell me, there is a coincidence right now, so I have to come here quickly Inquire about a few words?"

Fu Zhong held the wine glass, sat aside and looked at him.But Ji Yao didn't look at Fu Zhong, and Ji Yao looked away for a long time. He didn't completely let go of the mystery left by his father.

He Luan couldn't help laughing: "'Dragon King' is just my father's drunken words, how credible are the words of a foolish drunkard? We don't even know what the Dragon King is, is it a creature, or an organization code name? A coincidence may just be a coincidence That's all."

"Did something happen to your father ten years ago?" Ji Yao said, his words blocked He Luan's mouth, "He was quite normal before, but after he retired from the army, he changed a lot?"

He Luan was stunned, Ji Yao knew the answer just by looking at his expression without waiting for him to speak.Ji Yao lowered his head calmly, put on a good face again and said: "Coincidentally, my father also happened ten years ago. He went on a mission as usual that day, and never came back, and I didn't find any Files about that mission."

"Wait a minute." Chen Wei, who had been silent and unable to get in, raised his hand to signal him to speak, "Why am I so confused? What are you talking about?"

No one answered his question, Ji Yao cast a glance at Chen Wei, and Chen Wei immediately fell silent.Fu Zhong knew that he probably thought of his father, and Ji Yao didn't make a sound, he would only think about anything in his stomach.No one is truly at peace in the face of death.

"Would you like to rest for a while?" Fu Zhong took off his earphones and sat down closer to him and asked, "We'll meet them another day. There's plenty of time, so there's time for everything we want to say."

Ji Yao turned her head and touched her nose, blinked her eyes hard twice, and suppressed her tears.He waved at Fu Zhong and peeled the orange with his elbow to divert his attention: "My father went on a mission in September 2009 and was declared dead in March 9."

He Luan walked out of the utility room door, and Chen Wei locked the door for him.The old landlord swept fallen leaves in the yard, raised his wrinkled eyes to stare at He Luan for a while, and then continued to do his own thing.He Luan frowned when she saw her, and said while walking up the stairs: "It happened to be the month when my father came back."

Ji Yao hummed and nodded.He remembered He Luan's words, and asked again: "Is there a place to open the box? What's inside? If you can't open it, use Xinghe's perspective scanning system."

"The box is completely sealed and has no opening. The metal cover on the outside of the box should be an electromagnetic black hole, protecting something inside. Galaxy's perspective scanning has failed on it, and it is impossible to know what is inside." Chen Wei said, holding a fountain pen in his hand, he lifted it up and gestured, "But I found something else."

Ji Yao watched as Chen Wei sent the picture, and there was a line of words on it, but it was already blurred.Chen Wei deduced the handwriting by analyzing the traces of Xinghe, and he read: "March 2010, 3. There is still a string of words behind it, which cannot be accurately restored for the time being, and a more accurate orbital reasoning system is needed."
