living in the world of reincarnation

Chapter 46 Visit
Through editor-in-chief Liu, Mu Lan asked for the addresses and contact information of the four archaeologists. After making a round of calls, she found that none of them could answer.

Since they could not be reached by phone, they could only visit at home. According to the police, they were also on vacation like Mu Lan. The Institute of Archeology gave them a long vacation and were required to stay at home so that they could be summoned at any time.

Fortunately, both Yu Bin and Wang Chuan in the archaeological team live in the dormitory of the unit, and only Professor Liang and Professor Chen live in their own homes. The three addresses are not too far apart. Shi Zhengyang suggested that a collective action should be taken to investigate the entire archaeological team as quickly as possible. .

Professor Chen Zhibin was the preferred target suggested by Mu Lan, because he was the closest, and I heard that he had a strong interest in the civilization of the ancient Shu Kingdom. After discovering the robbery cave at the site of the ruins, he applied to join the rescue excavation team led by Professor Liang. .

Professor Chen's home is located in the old urban area, which is as solid as a rock. As soon as they got out of the car, they found that the place was full of dilapidated buildings and old-fashioned houses, which was very different from Mu Lan's imagination. The daily life of this professor is very simple.

According to the address, he found a dilapidated residential building. After going up three floors, Shi Zhengyang knocked on the door of the professor's house, but no one responded after waiting for a long time.

"Not at home?" Zhao Ziyu asked suspiciously.

"It stands to reason that they should all be on standby at home, maybe they went out for a walk?" Lin Yiyi said.

"If something like this happens, I'm not in the mood to go downstairs for a walk. Professor Chen is not as heartless as you." Zhao Ziyu rolled his eyes.

Seeing that no one answered the knock on the door, Mu Lan knocked on the resident next door. After a while, the door slowly opened to reveal a gap, and the wrinkled old woman looked at Mu Lan with questioning and probing eyes.

"Hello, Auntie!" Mu Lan showed a polite and friendly expression, "Excuse me, is Professor Chen next door at home recently?"

"Looking for someone surnamed Chen?" The old woman's expression changed immediately, it was an expression of extreme boredom, and she was about to close the door immediately.

Seeing this, Shi Zhengyang immediately grabbed the door, and put his arm directly against the crack of the door to prevent it from closing.

"What are you doing!"

The old woman showed a panicked expression. She probably regarded the four of them as a robbery group. Mu Lan was also very helpless, but she had no choice but to continue with a stiff and unnatural smile: "Don't be afraid, We are all colleagues in Professor Chen's unit, and I want to discuss something with him, but he seems not at home, has he been back these days?"

Seeing that the door couldn't be closed, the old woman looked at the crowd with an unfriendly expression. Mu Lan touched Shi Zhengyang and motioned him to take out his arm first.

In fact, Shi Zhengyang has already saved his strength. With his current strengthening quality, he can open the door with one punch, but the consequences of that may not only be facing terrifying ghosts, but also getting on the wanted warrant and being chased and intercepted by the police all over the city .

The old woman looked at Mu Lan and then at Lin Yiyi and Zhao Ziyu behind, thinking that no robber would look like this, so she relaxed her guard a bit, and muttered: "That weird guy's colleague!"

wack?Mu Lan and Shi Zhengyang looked at each other, and Mu Lan hurriedly asked, "Has Professor Chen made any unusual moves recently?"

"During the past few days, there have been strange screams from women at the family of the opposite door named Chen. This man has never been married since he was a big boss. I never thought that his life would be so disorderly."

The woman's strange cry?Mu Lan remembered this description, and continued to ask: "In other words, Professor Chen is at home these days?"

"Yeah, he went out to buy vegetables this morning." The old woman said.

"Has he behaved strangely recently?" Mu Lan asked.

"He has never been upright, like a lunatic." The old woman immediately said: "You are his colleagues, I suggest you go to the doctor and show him."

After chatting for a few more words, seeing that there was no useful information, Mu Lan smiled and nodded at the old woman: "Then I won't bother you, thank you."

After the old woman closed the door, Lin Yiyi hesitated and said, "Then we'll wait here for him to come back?"

"No need." A pistol appeared in Shi Zhengyang's hand, he added a silencer and aimed it at the door lock, and said, "We have no time to waste."

There was a dull gunshot, and the sound of the gunfire with the added silencer was also loud, as if someone stomped heavily in the corridor, the smell of gunpowder filled the air, Shi Zhengyang pushed hard, and the door was opened.

"The captain is still decisive!" Zhao Ziyu flattered her a little.

The lights in Professor Chen's house were turned off, and the living room was very dark. As soon as Mu Lan entered the room, she felt an indescribable feeling.

It was very cold in the room, and the temperature experience was completely different from that in the corridor outside. Lin Yiyi shivered unconsciously and hugged her arms tightly.

"It's a bit cold!"

Mu Lan felt that there was a sinister energy in the house, she would not have felt this way before, but at this moment, she immediately remembered the weird incidents at "home" and in the taxi, and that biting sense of fear returned again. hit.

The house is a standard apartment with two bedrooms and one living room. There are some rotten fruits and takeaway boxes on the coffee table, and some household garbage is also randomly thrown on the ground. When entering the bedroom, the curtains are drawn tightly, and there is no light in the room. Mu Lan opened the door. The switch on the wall turned on the light, and she found that Professor Chen had transformed the bedroom into a study room. The two rows of bookshelves were filled with books, and there was a thick stack of manuscript paper on the table, densely filled with words.

After removing the presbyopic glasses that pressed the paper, Mu Lan saw the title of the manuscript, "Blood Sacrifice, Cruel Ancient Civilization", and glanced at the content of the manuscript. The handwriting was very scribbled, but she could tell that it was about the civilization of the ancient Shu Kingdom Research.

There was a warm thermos cup on the desk. It seemed that Professor Chen hadn't left for too long. Mu Lan scanned the room again, and was immediately attracted by an object that looked like bronze.

This is a head portrait with exaggerated facial features, the overall shape is very abstract, the most prominent is the eyes, almost protruding from the eye sockets, forming a cylindrical protrusion, its expression seems to be smiling, I wonder if it is because of the whole scene The weird atmosphere of the dungeon made Mu Lan feel that the head portrait was very weird.

Mu Lan had an illusion. As soon as she entered Professor Chen's house, she felt that someone was watching her. She couldn't help but look behind her. The room was very quiet, except for the sound of teammates searching other rooms.

Continuing to look through the things in the room, it seems that Professor Chen has indeed been steeped in academics for a long time. There are a lot of books on pre-Shang civilization on the bookshelf. Mu Lan opens a book at will, and can find Professor Chen's comments and essays.

When Mu Lan was immersed in reading, she didn't notice that something seemed to move in the darkness behind her, and then the shadow slowly approached her back.

The cold breath pressed against Mu Lan's neck. At this moment, Mu Lan's hairs stood on end, and she felt goosebumps all over her body. At this moment, it felt like someone was blowing air on her back.
