Volume 4, Demon Crow Demon Palace_Chapter 152, Information on Ba Bone
Wang Bing looked about 30 years old, about the same age as me, his eyes were not big, his face was very clean, and the gray overalls he was wearing were not very dirty, plus he was wearing sleeves, so I guess he was an employee sitting in the office. He nodded to the doorman and walked out of the iron door to talk to us standing not far from the factory.
"Who are you? Which unit? He asked, not too scared, just curious.
"Hello, my name is Ba Xiaoshan, and this is my friend's name Yang Ran. We've been investigating a paleontological matter recently, and I've heard that you have some research in this area, so I'm going to ask for advice. But it seems to be a mistake...... "I'm looking for someone who looks like a university professor, not a factory worker."
"You guys were sent by the guy surnamed Xia?" As soon as he asked, Yang Ran and I glanced at each other, and it seemed that we had really found the right person.
"The surname Xia has looked for you before?" Yang Ran hurriedly asked.
Wang Bing nodded, took out a cigarette, lit it and said: "He came to me half a month ago, when he hoped that I could help him, but asked me to write a confidentiality regulation and restrict my freedom for a long time, I refused. ”
"Don't worry, we are not in the same group as the surname Xia." I gave a guarantee, Wang Bing looked at us, and asked strangely, "Then who are you?" ”
I smiled and said, "Anyway, we are not bad people, if you are afraid of retaliation or any sequelae afterwards, then don't worry, we will not harm you." ”
Such a guarantee was not very reliable for Wang Bing, but he smoked a cigarette and thought about it for a while and said, "What do you want to ask?" ”
"You're a folk researcher?" Yang Ran interjected and asked.
"No, I used to be a professor at Sun Yat-sen University, studying ancient writing and paleontology. About half a month ago, the man surnamed Xia brought a few people and asked me to help him study a discovered paleontology. I'm very interested, after all, there are very few species of paleontology in existence, and to learn more about some undiscovered paleontology is equivalent to adding a link to biological evolution. But he asked me to write a confidentiality policy, restricted my freedom, and even said that if I participated in the study, I could not take any information with me after the study. It may even be erased from memory, ridiculous, he really thought he could erase a person's memory! Wang Bing sneered, as a professor who was rich in learning, he didn't care about things like strange powers.
"Then you didn't attend?" I asked.
"Of course I didn't participate, if I can't take any materials with me or even leave a memory, then what's the point of my research? And they're going to restrict my freedom, ridiculous, I'm definitely not going to participate in this kind of research. In this way, it seems that he is not involved in the study of the mackerel, in other words, he must not know anything about the mackerel, no wonder he was not controlled by Deputy Director Xia, it turned out that he did not know at all.
I sighed, and was about to say goodbye, when I heard Wang Bing say: "But although he didn't let me participate in the research, I also had the opportunity to get the research materials by myself." One of the experts they took away was friends with me for many years. He discussed it with me, and the inside and outside should be together. Every day, the people who were brought in had half an hour to call their families outside to report their safety, and he used that half an hour to call me and tell me what he had seen and heard about paleontology. I take notes and do my own research. ”
Hearing this, I seemed to feel that there was another drama, so I didn't say I wanted to leave.
"Then how did you get here?" Yang Ran asked strangely.
"However, our private contact was soon discovered, and a week ago, several people surnamed Xia ran into my apartment, beat me up, and burned all the materials I had recorded. And from that time on, my friend and I also lost contact. I quit my job at the university when I knew I couldn't stay in school, and I moved here to avoid the limelight because it was owned by a relative of mine. At the same time, the next step of research is carried out. ”
"You're still researching?" I asked in surprise.
"Yes, although I haven't seen the ancient creature with my own eyes, my friend has described it to me in detail before, even if my previous research results have been destroyed, but since it has begun, I have no intention of stopping."
Speaking of which, Yang Ran and I exchanged glances again, although the gray squirrel is not a good bird, but this time it really helped us a lot.
"We'd like to see your research." I spoke.
Wang Bing was reluctant, for his age, a living and undiscovered paleontocrat was equivalent to a great achievement that might help him take off. How can it be casually shown to outsiders?
Therefore, when he heard my words, his head shook like a rattle, and he shouted vigorously, "No, no." Why should I show you my research results! ”
It's not that the intellectual is stingy, the research results are his treasure. The Silver Horn King wouldn't be stupid enough to give the purple gold gourd to Sun Xingzhi, right, he had to take out something to exchange it for him.
I pondered for a moment, then said, "If I could share something with you, would you show it to me?" ”
Hearing this, Wang Bing was stunned for a moment, looked at me strangely and asked, "Share with me?" What is it? ”
"So, I'll come to you again in the evening, and I'll take my treasure with me, and if you think you're qualified, then you'll show us your research materials, okay?" I asked.
"Hmm...... That's fine. Wang Bing nodded in agreement after pondering for a moment, and then walked straight back to the factory, as soon as he left, Yang Ran asked strangely: "Why do we have to see his research results?" Does this help us in snatching the mackerel in any way? ”
I smiled and said, "It doesn't help us to snatch the bone, but it means a lot to the skull!" ”
Yang Ran still didn't understand, and blinked at me.
"Do you think, why is Sha Lao so obsessed with snatching the baba bones? Isn't it because the mackerel is an aquatic demon that lives near the Sea Demon Mountain? After grabbing this mackerel bone, it is very likely that you will follow the vine and find the location of the demon mountain on the sea, right? So if we snatch this mackerel and we can't take us to Demon Mountain, wouldn't it be a waste of work? I can't get into the game with this 'key'. But if we can first understand the true attributes of this monster called mackerel and prove that it can help us find the demon mountain, then there is a need to rob it, which means that we are not busy with it! After I finished saying this, Yang Ran nodded as if he didn't understand.
"But what are you going to exchange for the information on the baba?" She asked again.
"Hehe, I've thought about this for a long time......"
After we went back once, I took my backpack, and at about seven o'clock in the night I came to the vicinity of the factory, and the doorman changed one, and called a little reluctantly after hearing that I was looking for Wang Bing.
After a while, a person came out of the dormitory building on the other side of the factory, Wang Bing, who had changed into civilian clothes.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked, "I thought you weren't coming, but let's say, what are you going to exchange for my information?" ”
I put the backpack on the table, opened it with a smile and looked inside, and Wang Bing urged a little impatiently: "Did you find it?" Don't fool me with fake fossils or anything like that, I don't eat that. ”
"Haha, I found it." I said with a smile as I took an object out of my backpack, a thin, irregularly shaped stone-like thing, and placed it on the table. Wang Bing glanced at it and said, "Hehe, what's it?" Stone? I've seen a lot of this kind of thing. ”
He wasn't interested, and I smiled and said, "You're taking a closer look." ”
He lowered his head and looked at it again, his face changed instantly, and then he hurriedly took out his glasses and put them on, and even took out a pair of gloves, and his attitude was the same as the entire 180-degree turn just now.
As soon as I saw the change in him, my heart was filled with joy and knew that there was a door to this!
