Rebel Demon King

Chapter 14 The Ring of the Nibelung

In the next class, Cheng Mo temporarily put aside his big money-making plan and started to rub the questions steadily. In Changya Middle School, learning to get rich is not empty talk. This is also the source of motivation for countless students to love learning and learn to make them happy.
After school, Fu Yuanzhuo, who was behind Cheng Mo, was the first to run out of the classroom, and Cheng Mo was the last. He never crowded with others.

When he walked out of the teaching building, Cheng Mo seemed to feel that someone was watching him secretly, but after looking around for a week, he found no one. He dragged out of the school in the tail of the crowd, took 202 to go home, and first swiped a hundred questions. The speed was a bit faster than yesterday, and then he began to search for various clues about "Pantheon" on the Internet. For this reason, he also recharged a VPN, got on the Internet, and used Google to check a lot of English information, but still Didn't find any useful information.

In the dark night, the light emitted by the dim table lamp is like a thin protective cover. Cheng Mo sits in the middle and looks at the computer screen and thinks hard. The lines of words converge into a huge torrent, but he is like a person in the vast sea. Page flat boat, can not find the direction.

Thinking of his father's belongings, there is also a "faculty member badge" and a "Masonic badge", Cheng Mo checked the websites related to these two organizations, and there are hundreds of websites related to "Masons". Cheng Mo saw that he was dizzy and still got nothing.

Cheng Mo rubbed his temples, opened the drawer of the table, took out the silk bag, carefully observed the two badges for a while, and then compared the pictures displayed by the watch, hoping to find any connection, but the result was still No results.

Seeing that it was twelve o'clock, Cheng Mo resisted the urge to continue to explore on the Internet, turned off the light, and lay on the bed.

Tomorrow Friday, class.

On Saturday off, he plans to take the key to his father's dormitory of the Hunan Academy of Social Sciences to have a look. By the way, he will find Wang Shanhai. He must be able to contact Li Jiting.
At 05:30, Cheng Mo still got up on time, brushed his teeth and washed his face, got dressed, boiled eggs, soaked oatmeal, made milk, left the house at 202:[-], and took [-] to school.

Maybe it was because Tian Bin gave him a two-week deadline, maybe it was because the head teacher Shen Youyi specially criticized Sun Dayong and the others severely, and Cheng Mo did not complain to Shen Youyi, so Sun Dayong and his group did not find Cheng Mo on this day. At noon, Cheng Mo didn't go to the school doctor's office. He just ate in the cafeteria and went to the library to rest.

For the whole day, Cheng Mo basically spent writing questions, and he didn't think about the watch.

After returning home from school, Cheng Mo searched around the house, and then he realized that his father had basically left no trace at home. Most of the materials and books that Cheng Yongze needed were moved to the capital, but those who came back as relics were Very few, they are all ordinary daily necessities, and they have been thrown away long ago.

The rest are some journals and books of all kinds, and some old clothes were cleaned out by Cheng Jidong and stuffed in a bag. Cheng Mo flipped through these books, hoping to find the lost ones. A small note from him, he flipped through all the books in the bookcase, but none of his wishes came true.

Cheng Mo rummaged through the old clothes in his bag, but of course he found nothing.

Cheng Mo thought to himself: If he can't find any clues in his father's dormitory tomorrow, and Wang Shanhai can't contact Li Jiting anywhere, he can only wait for the summer vacation to go to the "Pantheon" in Italy to find out.

Although he had a rest on Saturday, Cheng Mo still got up at 05:30 according to his habit. After he was busy, he started to read. Scientific research shows that people have four orgasm memory points every day. The first time period is from [-] to [-] in the morning. Of course Mo would not waste this great morning light.

The situation of cognitive impairment has improved a little these days, and Cheng Mo is not sure whether it is because of his insistence on brushing the questions or the reason of his watch, but no matter what the reason is, the question must be persevered, because he Gotta make money on this
After reading the book at 08:30, Cheng Mo was ready to leave for the Hunan Provincial Academy of Social Sciences. The Hunan Provincial Academy of Social Sciences, located near the University of National Defense Science and Technology, is about four, five, and 10 minutes away from Cheng Mo’s home. Cheng Mo was afraid that he might need something from the Cheng Yongze brought it back from his dormitory, and even carried a bag on his back.

Route 113 was quite crowded on weekends. Cheng Mo stood all the way and arrived at the Academy of Social Sciences while shaking. When he got off the bus, he was still a little tired. The shining sun made him feel dizzy, like low blood sugar. Cheng Mo took out a piece of dark chocolate from his pocket and chewed it. After the bitter sweetness melted, he felt better.

Cheng Mo walked towards the gate of the Southern Hunan Provincial Academy of Social Sciences, thinking: It seems that dreaming about this watch last night can change his physique, it is really a dream. (BGM of this chapter - "Exogenesis: Symphony Part 1" [Overture] Alien Genesis Symphony First (Overture))

Although he was complaining in his heart, Cheng Mo did not give up the idea of ​​pursuing the answer at all, because for Cheng Mo, this was his only hope. Although this hope was extremely meager and slim, he could not give up and had to choose He tried his best to find the answer, which was the reason why he decided to go to Italy for the summer vacation in the first place.

He has to race against time.

Cheng Mo entered the gray tiled gate of the Academy of Social Sciences, went straight to Cheng Yongze's dormitory, walked along the main road of the gate for a certain distance, turned left and entered the tree-lined path next to the lake, and walked about In 5 minutes, you will be able to see Cheng Mo's house.

This is the house assigned to Cheng Yongze by the Academy of Social Sciences. It belongs to collective property rights and has no real estate certificate. However, according to the law, the right of residence belongs to the occupants and their co-occupants permanently. Owned by the unit.

Cheng Mo grew up here when he was a child, but there was no elevator in the old house, and Cheng Mo's family lived on the seventh floor on the top floor. Climbing the stairs every day was a big burden for Cheng Mo, so Cheng Yongze bought a set at Dingwang Terrace. house, moved there.

The reason why I bought a house that is a little far from the Academy of Social Sciences is because Dingwangtai is the location of the book market in Xingcheng. All the first-hand foreign academic journals, as well as various journals and books, the fastest one is the Dingwangtai Book Market. .

For people like Cheng Yongze, there is no greater temptation than this. Most of Cheng Mo's memories of weekends when he was a child were spent in Dingwangtai Book Market, and the building in front of him is a little mottled under the trees. The old house, in Cheng Mo's impression, should be very big, but he has not returned here for so many years, but it has become low, dilapidated and cramped.

Even though the once gray cement walls were covered with white tiles, the green moss on the walls, the cement from the peeling tiles, and the yellowed water stains made this once-glossy house seem forgotten by time.

Perhaps it was Cheng Mo who was deliberately forgetting, because there are memories of his mother here.

Cheng Mo pressed down the mixed feelings in his heart, and walked into the familiar long, narrow and steep stairs again after many years. At this moment, he only had one feeling.

- things are not people.

The old house was as quiet as if no one lived. Although it was broad day, it gave people a gloomy feeling. Anyone with a little courage would probably feel scared, but the atheist became silent and naturally fearless. climbed to the seventh floor.

Other people's houses have been replaced with anti-theft doors. Only Cheng Mo's house has a yellow wooden door. He took out the key and opened the door whose paint was almost gone. Before entering, a rotten smell hit his face. Come.

The room was covered with a layer of ash, and the old elm tree outside the window was still luxuriant. Cheng Mo remembered that every spring, it would put its fresh flower buds close to the window.

Cheng Mo closed the door softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing someone. He walked into the living room, but there was almost nothing there, a sofa, a coffee table and a TV cabinet. There was not even a TV on the TV cabinet. Watch TV, except for the occasional news feed.

The house is a classic two-bedroom, one-living room. The doors of the two bedrooms are open in the living room. Because no one has lived in it for too long, it looks like an abandoned haunted house.

Cheng Mo first walked into Cheng Yongze's bedroom, with a bed, two bedside tables, a desk, and a bookcase.

There is only one monitor left on the computer on the table, and the chassis is nowhere to be found, maybe it was moved to the capital.The bookcase was also empty, not a single book, only fine dust glowing in the sunlight from the window.

Cheng Mo hung the backpack on the chair, opened all the cabinets and drawers, searched all the corners under the bed, under the bed, and found nothing. Then he went to his room again, tossing and turning in the living room. He was looking for it, but the result was still disappointing.

Originally, he thought he could find some useful things here. After all, this key was also given to him by Li Jiting. In Cheng Mo's opinion, this should be the clue to solve the problem.

Cheng Mo sat down on the sofa a little decadently. Just after some tossing, there was no dust on the sofa. He stared at the sunlight outside the window for a while, and his brain was racing. If this watch is his father Deliberately ask Li Jiting to hand it over to him, so he will leave some information, so as not to make him so blind.

Cheng Mo got up unwillingly, opened the sofa with the key, and took out all the sponge inside, but still only saw the black spring
Cheng Mo went to the bathroom to wash his hands in disappointment, and walked around the room again to check if there was anything missing, but in the end he could only choose to give up this line, he turned and walked towards the door, thinking: maybe Only when your cognitive impairment is completely healed can you discover something.

Maybe this is his psychological suggestion to himself, hoping that he will not give up hope.

From a practical point of view and an ordinary person's point of view, Cheng Mo is almost certainly wasting time doing some useless work, and no ordinary person would expect miracles on a watch that just looks a little high-tech.

Miracles cannot be called miracles if they are so cheap.

But on the other hand, the reason why most miracles can come to the world is not just because of good luck, but also because the parties are persistent enough.

In fact, if Cheng Mo had a choice, maybe he wouldn't be so looking forward to finding the answer, but while he was still alive, this hope seemed to be all he could grasp at the moment.

Cheng Mo walked to the door and thought to himself: closing his eyes and quietly waiting for death is of course a choice, how simple it is, but his life is so short, waiting is an extremely extravagant act, he can only desperately search .

As long as life goes on, he has to keep looking
At the moment when he twisted the door lock, Cheng Mo saw a calendar posted on the back of the door. It was the calendar of 2017 last year, and a small red circle was drawn on one of the dates. Cheng Mo stopped and opened the door, looking at the The date stayed for a while, November 11, which was Cheng Mo's birthday.

Cheng Yongze gave him a set of vinyl records, which is the opera "Der Ring des Nibelungen" (Note 1: "The Ring of the Nibelungen"), the 100th anniversary edition of solti's birth.
Suddenly, Cheng Mo's mind rang loudly, and the huge and solemn music began to echo in his mind. The huge chant, like a glacier on the frozen ground, accumulated into a snow-white majestic peak in the raging snowstorm, and that mountain peak. More and more magnificent and sharp, the horn, flute, piano, violin, cello, timpani turned into dense waves of notes to form a solemn announcement:
——When human beings open the door of the Nibelung root of genes, it is like Pandora opened the box. That thing that even nature has never controlled, trying to control it with the power of ants, will only destroy itself in the end.
