Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 737 Genius Historian (I)

"This location... is the golf course, where Brother Bai and Sister Su disappeared together!" Li Ming said in surprise.

"Why did Ke Hen's positioning signal stop there?" Xia Shou raised his head and looked at the flashing green dot on the screen in confusion.

Li Ming kept operating the console with both hands, calling on the few remaining drone resources and heading to the original golf course to observe the situation.

When the first drone flew over the stadium, it saw an extremely strange scene.

Seven people formed a circle and stood on the grass strewn with corpses, looking up at the sky with dull eyes, as if they were a sculpture. Xia Shou immediately recognized the faces of several of them. He had seen them at the first trial gathering where they saw death!

As trial participants, shouldn't they be enemies of each other? Why are they standing there like this?

"It seems that Murong really guessed it right." Modis said, "If the boy is not crazy after this, he should be promoted to deputy director of the history department."

Murong?
This special surname made Xia Shou feel particularly familiar.

He always felt that he had heard it somewhere, and the source of this impression was not a character like Murong Fu in film and television works, but in real life, he remembered hearing someone with this surname.

But where? I can't remember.

Modis saw Xia Shou's confused expression and continued to explain: "You may not know him, Murong Shangjin is from the History Department of the Research Department. This guy is proficient in six secret languages ​​and has a good brain, but he lacks perseverance.

He was very interested in the fragment of "Song of the Red Cave" that you brought back, and also made some controversial remarks in the history department. Although he has not made any academic achievements so far, he is the only one who stayed in the history department.

He was the first to notice that Yi Lei was imitating "The Song of the Red Cave", but when everyone else agreed with his decision, he suddenly said that he was wrong, saying that Yi Lei was imitating another thing related to the invincible beast, a mythological creature recorded in a book called "This Book About Gods Who Are Not Gods" which is available in our library.

But this book is a bit of a side topic, and no one except the history department members has read it. Moreover, Murong only said that he was wrong, but he couldn't give any more useful guidance, so it's impossible to continue the discussion..."

As he was talking, Modis stopped talking. He noticed that Xia Shou had a strange expression on his face, as if he had guessed something. He narrowed his eyes curiously and asked, "Have you read that book, too?"

Of course Xia Shou has seen it!

Isn’t this book “The God Who Is Not a God”!

Edson had suggested it to him! It contained ancient stories about the second-born.

Xia Shou was about to answer when Modice raised his hand and made a stopping gesture.

"Don't tell me anything. Go to the library to find Murong. As for that little girl Kehen...if she is not hiding among those corpses, then the intercom must have been left there."

"Da da da!" Suddenly, there were slight knocking sounds at irregular intervals coming from the speaker of the console.

"It came from Sister Ke's intercom!" Li Ming said excitedly.

"Don't answer yet!" Xia Shou grabbed Li Ming's wrist to prevent him from responding.

Xia Shou stared at the scene images transmitted back by the drone, his brain working fast.

The walkie-talkie was located there, and Ke Hen's voice suddenly appeared, which meant that Ke Hen was holding the walkie-talkie. If the location of the walkie-talkie was not wrong, then it was the first situation that Modise guessed - Ke Hen was hiding in the pile of corpses!
If I answer Ke Hen rashly, the slight noise I make might alarm those trial-takers who are obviously mentally abnormal.

To be on the safe side, the initiative of contact should be given to Ke Hen.

If she was sure it was safe, she would give them a signal herself. "Da... Da Da..."

Although they are all tapping sounds, if you listen carefully, you can still hear slight differences in the sounds.

One is like tapping on a walkie-talkie with your fingernails, and the other is like tapping with your fingertips.

"What is this code? Morse code?" Xia Shou asked.

"Yes, it's Morse code." Li Ming nodded, immediately listened carefully and began to translate, "She...she said she was wearing headphones, so please respond if we can hear her!"

Xia Shou nodded and asked Li Ming to help respond: "I can hear you."

Then, there were intermittent code sounds again, and Li Ming followed suit and translated simultaneously like squeezing toothpaste: "Sister Ke said that she followed your instructions and found the person with the painting, but that person disappeared with the others on the golf course, so she couldn't get the painting.

In addition, the man with the painting can wear other people's skin and change into other people's appearance. He had previously worn the skin of the teacher in the orphanage, but later changed back.

Uh… Sister Ke also told us to come and rescue her. When she was about to retreat, those people suddenly arrived at the scene. She didn’t have time to escape, so she hid among the corpses and pretended to be dead. She felt like she was suffocating to death.”

Xia Shou frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Tell her not to act rashly. Hold on a little longer. I'll be there soon."

"Wait!" Modis stopped Xia Shou, "Are you planning to go like this now?"

"Of course we need to make some preparations. We can't just leave Ke Hen there." Xia Shou said.

Modis pointed at the test takers who were looking up at the sky on the screen and said, "I suggest you talk to Murong first. Maybe Murong can give you some inspiration on this matter. You and Su Yue are both entangled in some abnormal phenomenon, right?"

As soon as Xia Shou heard it, he knew that Modice was referring to the first trial of death. He, Su Yue, Jiang Wengao, and Su Weiyu were all included in this trial.

"Xia Shou, this matter is not that simple. Yi Lei's duel time is too long. It is totally disproportionate to the duels time of others. This is very abnormal.

In addition, the reactions of these people are also very abnormal. If Murong Shangjin's hypothesis is true, then Yi Lei is now very likely preparing to replicate a certain past event. If there is a flaw in that past event, then the one being replicated now must also have the same flaw. "

After saying that, Modise immediately added: "Of course, this is just my personal suggestion. I'm just a researcher. You make your own decision."

Xia Shou nodded and walked out of the command room thoughtfully.

……

……

Library, original text collection room.

Murong Shangjin lay in front of the book, muttering to himself. He carefully cut the fragile paper into pieces with a paper cutter, then put them into his mouth and swallowed them slowly.

He ate very carefully and only in small portions at a time, because he knew very well that these pages were not necessarily safe, and if the person who wrote the book was a lunatic, eating too much might drive him crazy.

But on the other hand, this is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

For those who study secret history, they may never have such an opportunity to study history in their lifetime.
