Chapter 141 Erased Text (5000)

Elder Han Ge is very prestigious in Hanjia Village. Apart from his own identity, he was the elder of the Federation after all, even if he has abdicated.

But to the villagers, that is still a big official.

Han Ge's old family came forward, and soon, Han San'er's descendants moved out all the things and objects from the bottom of the box at home.

Regarding the box recorded in the literature, Han San'er's descendants also took out a dusty mahogany box from under the bed.

And said with a smile: "My ancestors said that this thing is not open, but the material must be very special, very valuable, and can be passed down forever. Since the Han Pavilion is always in demand today, just take it."

Han Ge smiled and nodded, not taking advantage of others, and said: "Thank you, I will let the younger generation come over and talk to you later."

Hearing this, Han San'er's descendants laughed from ear to ear. He didn't expect that this unopenable box, which had been handed down for several generations, could still sell for a high price. It was a surprise.

Gu An came with Mr. Han Ge, and he was holding the mahogany box in his arms and looking at it carefully.

He tried to hit it a few times, and finally even took out a kitchen knife to chop.

But the hardness of this mahogany box was unprecedented, no matter how hard it was, it was useless.

Mr. Han Ge watched from the side and immediately said: "Mr. Gu, don't worry, I have sent someone to bring some special equipment over to see if it can be opened."

The special equipment is naturally some of the latest products developed by the Federation, specially prepared for such difficult-to-open utensils.

Gu An nodded and continued to study.

When the time comes for the evening, the equipment arrives.

After some debugging, the researchers finally gave the results. They didn't know what the box was made of. Anyway, it was the first time they saw it. They couldn't open the most advanced equipment.

But the researchers also discovered that this box is not an ordinary box. Looking at the overall structure, they concluded that it is a kind of trick box.

The researchers said that this should be an ancient mechanism method inherited, and the box must be cracked to open the mechanism.

Hearing this, Gu An also hugged the box again and looked at it seriously again.

Indeed, I didn't notice it before, but looking at it now, there are many dense toothpick-sized openings around the mahogany box after the dust has been washed off.

There are at least a few hundred of these holes.

In the words of the researchers, finding the correct route in hundreds of holes, and then piercing with a sharp object can open it.

Gu An looked at the hundreds of holes, and suddenly closed himself...

This thing cannot be solved simply by reading the file, it must be cracked by a professional.

Now that this group of researchers thinks they can't do it, it is obvious that they can only find other people.

Who should I turn to?

The first thing Gu An thought of was Zhang Wen, the descendant of Longhushan Zhang Jin.

This guy is the only existence in Longhu Mountain who has not been blindfolded by ghosts. Zhang Jin was Zhang Hengzhi's senior brother back then, so maybe he can get some news from him.

Gu An didn't write any ink, and called Zhang Wen overnight.

Zhang Wen didn't expect Gu An to call him. Although it was late at night, he was still very excited. After answering the phone, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Gu, have you figured it out, are you ready to deal with Han Xiuxiu?"

Gu An: "..."

This is a person who is thinking about his mother-in-law all day long, and wants to kill her... Gu An thinks that he should kill Zhang Wen first...

"Zhang Wen, did your master uncle Zhang Hengzhi leave behind a mahogany box?"

Gu An went straight to the topic.

Zhang Wen on the opposite side was slightly taken aback, thought for a while, then shook his head: "No."

Gu An paused for a while, and then said: "Then, do you have any special methods to crack the mechanism in Longhu Mountain?"

Zhang Wen continued to think about it, then shook his head again: "No."

Gu An took a deep breath: "It's okay."

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Zhang Wen looked confused: "???"

Seeing Gu An hang up the phone, Mr. Han Ge quickly asked, "How is Mr. Gu?"

Gu An shook his head: "I don't know what to ask, it seems that I have to go back to the blue organization."

Han Ge immediately understood what Gu An meant, and nodded slowly: "The doctors are indeed experts in this field. Asking them should be able to solve it..."

Gu An nodded: "Please trouble Han Ge tonight, I'm getting old, the matter is urgent, so I'll leave."

Mr. Han Ge immediately got up and saw him off: "It's okay, just contact me if you need anything in the future, Mr. Gu."

……

Azure Agency.

Gu An arrived around four or five in the morning.

This point is exactly the time when the doctors are just about to fall asleep.

They stay up late every day. Although they know it is not good for their health, this group of people has always been obsessed with scientific research, and they often go late into the night without knowing it.

Hearing that Gu An was back and wanted to see them, the doctors immediately cheered up and gathered in the conference room.

No one expressed any dissatisfaction. They all knew that Gu An must have something important to call them at this point.

After the nine doctors arrived, Gu An put the mahogany box on the long table in the meeting room without writing any ink, and then briefly introduced the origin of the mahogany box, and at the same time told a history about Zhang Hengzhi.

Hearing that it was related to Longhu Mountain and that it was a secret from a hundred years ago, the doctors were even more refreshed, and they lost all sleepiness.

"Tan Yi is an expert in this field, let him come first."

Liu Ming had long hair and a shawl, glanced at Gu An, then handed over the mahogany box to Tan Yi.

Tan Yi took out an existence similar to a magnifying glass. He pressed the box with one hand, and slowly observed it with the mirror in the other hand.

"Behind these holes is actually a painting, as long as you find the logic of this painting, and then poke a sharp object into the hole to open the mechanism."

"It sounds simple, but in fact, the owner who made this mechanism painting was separated from us by a hundred years, and none of us knew what he was thinking at that time."

"So, to unravel this painting, I'm afraid it will take a lot of attempts."

Tan Yi quickly saw some general clues. After hearing this, the other doctors took over and checked one by one. Finally, they all nodded and approved of Tan Yi's words.

Gu An didn't understand this, and asked, "Then just try a few more times?"

Tan Yi shook his head: "No way, I just took a look at it. The owner of this mechanism painting has installed a very sophisticated self-destruct device at the end of the cracking mechanism. If you try randomly, it will only turn the box into a waste product, and you will never be able to get the inside. s things."

Gu An frowned: "But this box has been passed down for a hundred years. Han San'er's family, for so many years, has no one tried it indiscriminately. If they self-destruct, they must have tried many times, wouldn't they have destroyed themselves a long time ago?" Lost?"

Tan Yi smiled after hearing this: "Haha, that's why I said that this box is set up very carefully, because the person who made this box thought about it at that time, and its self-destruct device is used to deal with people who know how to do it."

"When you crack the mechanism, you have to go through some correct paths before you can go to the end, and the master's setting is that you must go through the front path, and then when you get to the back, if you try indiscriminately, the self-destruct device will be triggered. Ordinary people, if you don’t understand, you won’t be able to break through the path ahead, so naturally you won’t go to the end, and you won’t touch the self-destruct device.”

"Haha, the owner of this organ is really a bit contradictory. He wants to keep it, but he is afraid of being cracked, and he doesn't know what to think..."

"Okay, no matter what, now, what we have to do is to find the correct path behind, and then open the box..."

After listening to Tan Yi's words, Gu An pondered for a moment. It is true that Zhang Hengzhi must have left the box in the hope that future generations would see something. However, he also set up this self-destruct device, which will self-destruct if he is not careful. If so, how will future generations check it?

It's really contradictory...

Gu An sighed softly, and simply didn't think too much about it, and then he also took the mirror and began to observe.

After getting a reminder, Gu An looked this time and found that there was indeed a painting behind the densely packed holes, but unfortunately, this was the first time he saw this painting, and he didn't see any clues.

And the doctors are obviously more knowledgeable, everything is the same, although they don't recognize the painting, but they do recognize the passage of the agency, and there is Tan Yi, an expert in ancient characters, who is in charge soon, under the supervision of several doctors After research, they came up with three solutions.

However, only one of them is correct.

Tan Yi looked at the crowd and said: "Now there are three possibilities before us, and only one is correct. I think everyone has different understandings, and they all think they are right, so I suggest to vote, and finally choose to vote The party with more will crack it."

The vote was decided by nine doctors, and Gu An, a layman, was naturally ignored.

Of course, when it comes to multiple choice questions, Gu An has never lost.

Looking at the nine doctors who were preparing to vote, Gu An said calmly: "There is no need to vote, I will choose, choose whatever you want, and choose wherever you want."

The nine doctors looked at it together, their eyes full of doubts, which is a bit too childish.

Gu An raised his head slightly, and squinted at the crowd: "I've always been very lucky, and I never missed the multiple-choice questions every time. Otherwise, why do you think I can survive the strange events again and again?"

Hearing this, the doctors collectively froze for a moment, and then realized that it made sense, Gu An must be a person with great luck, otherwise it would be impossible to solve difficult and weird incidents every time, and then live until now.

As a result, the doctors no longer had any objections, and nodded in agreement.

Taking a step back, the casket was brought back by Gu An, and he has the most right to speak.

Gu An stepped forward silently, pulled out the kitchen knife and put it aside, and then began to poke holes one by one with sharp weapons according to the route map provided by the doctors.

The doctors looked at Gu An's kitchen knife suspiciously, not knowing what it meant, but no one asked.

soon……

With a cracking sound, the first plan failed.

This is the so-called great luck?
The doctors all looked at Gu An...

The person involved, Gu An, was very calm, and directly slashed himself backhanded...

Read the file and come again...

The second plan failed again...

Give yourself another knife...

the third time……

This time, with the last hole poked in, the box made a different sound than before.

The mahogany box was opened.

"Sure enough, great luck..."

The doctors stared blankly, muttering silently.

Gu An remained calm all the time, many things were actually doomed from the beginning...

However, although the mahogany box was opened, Gu An only saw that there was nothing inside except for a piece of slightly yellowed rice paper.

It took a lot of effort and toss for so long, just a piece of paper?

Gu An and the doctors all looked at each other, but didn't say much, just looked at the writing on the paper.

[When you get something that does not match your current ability, it must be exchanged with a value that is much greater than this thing in the future]

There is only one sentence on the yellowed paper that is incomprehensible.

Gu An silently passed the paper to the doctors.

The doctors checked one by one, and finally it was in Tan Yi's hands.

Holding the paper, Tan Yi looked at it carefully for a while, then pointed it at the light, his face gradually became serious.

"There are traces of obscuration before and after this text."

Tan Yi pointed to the front and back of the text, there were indeed some slightly erased traces, and it was still very clear under the light.

Cao Qing also looked over and asked, "Is there any problem with this? Maybe Zhang Hengzhi made a mistake at the time and erased it casually."

Tan Yi still had a serious face and shook his head: "No, I am proficient in ancient characters and have been studying them for so many years. I can see that the traces that have been erased are not man-made..."

Not artificial?
This sentence immediately made everyone on the field cautious.

Liu Ming was the first to break the calm: "That is to say, although we don't understand what the text is trying to express, it also shows that Zhang Hengzhi may have done it on purpose."

"He knew that there was something that could erase his fonts, or in other words, some straightforward hints would be erased. He tried a few times and found that only such less obvious hints could be saved in the end. Has it been passed down to this day?"

Cao Qing on the side nodded: "If that's the case, it would be interesting. Zhang Hengzhi put in so much effort to leave this reminder, what exactly is he trying to express? This reminder must be very important."

Liu Ming: "I always feel that it seems to be talking about the weirdness we are currently controlling..."

"The weirdness we're controlling now doesn't quite match our abilities. Just like what the note said, it may be overdrafting greater value and potential in the future..."

Zhang Xu: "But this is not realistic. There was no way to control the weirdness a hundred years ago. Zhang Hengzhi reminded us a hundred years ago. Is it possible to be a prophet? I think he may not be talking about this, but we are too sensitive. .”

Several doctors also felt that Zhang Xu's words made sense, and they all frowned.

Gu An, who had been silent all this time, was suddenly taken aback when he heard this. He thought of one thing.

Who said that there was no way to control the weirdness a hundred years ago, Zhang Jin's descendant, Zhang Wen, the bug in his eyes is a very weak weirdness, which has been passed down from Zhang Jin's generation and has continued until today .

It was precisely because of this weird help that Zhang Wen became the only existence in Longhu Mountain who was not blindfolded by ghosts.

This also means that a hundred years ago, there was a way to control the weirdness...

It's just that this method was not passed down at the time, and the warning given by Zhang Hengzhi, was it because he was worried that future generations might also find a way to control the weirdness, so he had to remind him?
But for a certain existence, Zhang Hengzhi's reminder is obviously not in their interests, so all the straightforward reminders are blocked. Zhang Hengzhi has no choice but to give hints within such a rule.

Zhang Hengzhi discovered the rules and solved the situation at that time, which is why this text has been preserved to this day.

Thinking of this, Gu An immediately looked at the doctors: "Who said there was no way to control the weirdness a hundred years ago..."

Gu An's words were astonishing, and several doctors looked in surprise.

About Longhushan, about Zhang Wen, about the diary...

These, Gu An had nothing to hide, and told them all.

When the doctors heard the news, they were shocked from the beginning to gradually numb, and then all of them became silent.

Liu Ming: "If this is the case, it means that Zhang Hengzhi's words are very likely to remind future generations not to control the weirdness..."

"Do you remember something 'Ken' said?"

The doctors next to him were taken aback and began to recall.

Liu Ming continued: "'Ken' said at the time that when weirdness first appeared on their planet, there was nothing they could do. Lost awe, and later, some kind of existence awakened, they were punished, and the entire galaxy was destroyed..."

"But Ken didn't say exactly how the galaxy was destroyed. Thinking about it now, could it be because of controlling the weirdness, after a few years, it suffered double backlash..."

"That is to say, we have controlled the weirdness, but we also have to bear some kind of imminent punishment. This punishment will be a devastating blow, so Zhang Hengzhi is warning us."

Tan Yi took a deep breath: "But now the number of spirit eliminators in the Federation is increasing rapidly every day. With the help of the old man, more and more newcomers have joined the team of spirit eliminators. Now we have discovered the clues. At this time, tell everyone that there may be a conspiracy in all of this?"

Liu Ming nodded: "The most difficult problem now is that the existence in the rift will wake up in five years' time, and strange incidents occur frequently in various parts of the federation. If we don't control the strangeness, and don't rely on the power of the strangeness, it may be difficult for us to deal with the current situation. get through..."

"So, even if we know Zhang Hengzhi's warning and know that this is not a long-term solution and is not good for us, we may still have to pretend that we don't know and go on like this..."

The faces of all the doctors were dark after hearing this, and no one spoke anymore. Their thoughts were the same as Liu Ming's.

Liu Ming glanced at the crowd, and said again: "Actually, it's not like there is no turning point. Think about it, Gu An also said just now that Zhang Jin's descendant, Zhang Wen, has driven a strange one, but it has been safe and sound for a hundred years. Is it possible that this is another hint left by Zhang Hengzhi back then?"

　When I asked for tickets last time, I said that the big guys who said that I will definitely next time still count...
