Professor, your turtle!

The two were relatively silent and finished their dinner hastily.

During this period, Xiaoyun came and went in and out of the room, bringing desserts and drinks, until she packed up the plate and left, Ji Fan felt that the T-shirt was about to be soaked in cold sweat.

——The small path in the yard was originally an insignificant matter, why did she try her best to cover it up?

The more he concealed it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

"Our waitress, this is not the only lie she lied about." Fu Mingyuan shook his phone, and the corners of his lips curled up, "Interesting, this hotel is registered under the name of a boss surnamed Tang."

"But didn't she say that the hotel was named after the mountain?"

Fu Mingyuan was silent, as if he was deep in thought.

"Xiaoyun, or should I say Xun Huang, she was reported missing last year, but she reappeared more than ten years older than before." He said slowly, "Ji Fan, the first time you received a pet egg was at the beginning of this year?"

"Yes, the winter vacation has just ended."

Fu Mingyuan closed his eyes, and his eyelids trembled slightly, like some kind of gear driving the brain to run at high speed.

Finally, he opened his eyes again: "I've almost figured it out."

Ji Fan held his breath nervously.

"However, the most critical piece of the puzzle has yet to be found."

"What is it?"

"It's a person," Fu Mingyuan said lightly, "Sun Liwan's husband."

Ji Fan was slightly taken aback, he only remembered that she said that her husband hadn't returned for a long time after he left, and she left the forest alone, unexpectedly discovering that several years had passed down the mountain.

Fu Mingyuan got up and opened the suitcase, and took out a stack of documents from it. Ji Fan took it and was immediately attracted by the title.

——Xiaotangshan phenomenon?

"This paper has not been published publicly. I found it from the archives of the Department of Physics and borrowed (taken) it." Fu Mingyuan was confident.

Ji Fan sweated for a moment, opened the file, and saw that there was an extremely detailed chronology listed in it, covering everything from ancient myths to modern legends. There was a key point repeatedly mentioned in it, which was the small place they were currently in. Tangshan.

According to the data collected in the thesis, this mountain seems to be closely related to myths and legends. Guandi temples, Taoist temples and Buddhist temples have been built in history, but the "haunted" situation has not improved.

Even after the war, when life was stable, villagers reported more than once that they had encountered "spiritual events" nearby, and some media curiously searched for it, but were blocked by the local government.

"Legend...it should be just a legend, right?"

Fu Mingyuan shrugged and handed him another document.

This is a photocopy of a set of filing forms, dated ten years ago.Ji Fan opened it, only to see a place circled by a red pen inside.

【Project Code: Xihe】

[Experiment number: 0029]

【Date: ▇▇▇▇▇▇】

【Location: Xiaotangshan Bieyuan, ▇▇ District, ▇▇ City】

Going forward, there are 28th and 27th times... without exception, all of them were held in Xiaotangshan Bieyuan.

"Code name...Xi He?"

Fu Mingyuan said indifferently: "'Yao waited for the world to be peaceful: he ordered Xihe, who is as beautiful as the sky, and the calendar is like the sun, the moon and the stars, and respects people's time.' In Chinese mythology, she is the goddess in charge of time."

"The project was abolished 20 years ago, and most of the information was lost. In a fragmented page I found, the researchers referred to Xiaotangshan as the 'origin of space'."

Ji Fan suddenly remembered the conversation Chen Zhen had with him, and murmured: "Time plan... Time plan... By the way, Chen Zhen—that's the friend who helped me before. He mentioned this to me. He said that he used to He is a researcher in the Physics Department of University T, and his research topic is how to break through the one-dimensionality of time!"

Ji Fan recalled Chen Zhen when he said this. At that time, he looked tired, and his face was full of regret that could not be concealed.

Chen Zhen said that he knew it sounded crazy, but more than ten years ago, the "law of time" was a very hot topic, and everyone in the research team was very optimistic, feeling that there was only one step away from success.

——Until an accident occurred in the experiment one day.

Fu Mingyuan looked solemn, and nodded: "Not long before the 'Xihe' project was abolished, there was indeed a big explosion at the Xiaotangshan Experimental Base. The details are unknown. The police suspected that it was a deliberate attack. The whereabouts of the researcher who was supposed to be in the building is unknown, and he is identified as the main suspect." He took out the newspaper and clicked on the names on it.

Ji Fan glanced at it and slowly opened his eyes wide. The first name was Chen Zhen's real name—Yu Lanzhou, and the second...

Senior Researcher: Xun Jiangyun.

"Xun" is not a common surname.Is this an accident, or a coincidence?

Fu Mingyuan turned to the front page of the experimental record file again. In the column of the main person in charge of the "Xihe" project, the names of Xun Jiangyun and Yu Lanzhou were also listed side by side.

Ji Fan pursed his lips. If Chen Zhen (or Yu Lanzhou) was the general manager of the "Xihe" project 20 years ago, is it possible that Xun Jiangyun was the cause of a series of incidents in Xiaotangshan?

"In addition, I managed to find an out-of-school sponsor for the 'Xihe' project," Fu Mingyuan pursed his lips, "Guess who?"

The two looked at each other, and Ji Fanfu blurted out, "Boss Tang?"

Fu Mingyuan cast an approving look: "Smart. He opened this hot spring hotel just as a cover-up." He rolled over his slender knuckles and tapped the ground lightly. "I speculate that the real experimental base should be in this closed Under the west hall."

"Ah."

Before the words were finished, soft laughter suddenly came from outside the paper door.

Fu Mingyuan seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and sat still, only sweeping his eyes towards the door.

The sliding door was slowly opened, and Xiaoyun emerged from the darkness.The soft and beautiful expression on her face faded, replaced by a coldness that was incompatible with the round features.

Ji Fan subconsciously shrank to Fu Mingyuan's side.

"Don't move." Xiaoyun raised his hand, the barrel of the gun in his palm reflected a metallic luster.

"!"

"Stand up and put your hands where I can see them," she ordered softly.

Fu Mingyuan spread his hands, stood up neatly, and pulled Ji Fan up from the ground along the way, and the two stood hand in hand.

Xiaoyun frowned slightly, but didn't speak, just flicked his wrists, motioning for them to lean against the wall.

"From now on, I ask, you answer, understand?"

Fu Mingyuan nodded indifferently.

Xiaoyun: "When did you start to doubt?"

"From the moment you walk in the door."

"Don't play tricks!" she snapped.

Fu Mingyuan was still calm: "I'm not lying. If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Xu. I also recommended the travel plan to him."

Xiao Yun choked, and said loudly, "Stop talking nonsense! You, you are not afraid of me—"

Ji Fan pursed his lips tightly, feeling a heart in his throat.

"You won't." Fu Mingyuan looked determined, "If you really want to kill me, you can do it outside the door. What's more, if you are worried about the secret being leaked, you don't need to take this business at all."

"That's for fear of arousing suspicion!"

"Why did you arrange for me to live in the West Building?"

"I said it, I was just afraid of arousing suspicion!" Xiaoyun was furious, the hand holding the gun trembled slightly, and it looked like he was about to pull the trigger at any moment.

Fu Mingyuan smiled, as if the other party's answer had no credibility.

"Is it you? Killed—no, probably imprisoned Boss Tang, and the dove occupied the magpie's nest, leading us here. You are quite capable, tell me, what is your purpose?"

"you!"

When the sword was on the verge of breaking out, someone suddenly coughed lightly by the door.

"Okay, Ah Huang."

Several people turned their heads to look, Xiao Yun was slightly taken aback, and said aggrievedly: "Grandpa?"

grandfather?Ji Fan gasped in surprise.The man pushed the wheelchair into the house slowly, and the light illuminated his face.

——He looked no more than 40 to [-] years old, with a gentle and refined appearance, not at all the age of a grandfather.The man was sitting in a wheelchair, his trousers hanging below the knees, as if both legs had been amputated at the waist.

He coughed twice more, and Xiaoyun ran over to support him.He waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, raised his face and said to Fu Mingyuan: "I arranged for you to live in here, and I sent the copy of the experimental records to your mailbox - I didn't tell Ah Huang." He turned his head and smiled at the girl. ,"Feel sorry."

The girl felt distressed and annoyed, and gave him a hard look.

The man slowed down, and said: "You should have understood the ins and outs of the 'Xihe' project. Let me introduce again, my surname is Xun, Xun Jiangyun, this is my granddaughter Xun Huang."

"You..." Ji Fan still felt unbelievable, "Are you Aunt Sun's husband?"

Hearing her name, Xun Jiangyun's expression darkened, and he said tactfully: "We haven't registered for marriage yet, but Ah Huang is indeed our granddaughter."

Aunt Sun looks to be at least in her 60s, yet she and Xun Jiangyun, who is in his early thirties... are husband and wife?

There was too much information, Ji Fan said "oh" in a daze, but Fu Mingyuan was obviously not that easy to fool, he narrowed his eyes: "Shouldn't you explain it clearly?"

Xun Jiangyun had a gentle temper and was not angry. Instead, he showed an apologetic look: "I'm sorry to involve you, but I have designed to invite you here. There is no other way. I need your help."

Fu Mingyuan snorted through his nose, noncommittal.

"I know you must have a lot of doubts, and when I finish speaking, I will answer them slowly."

"The whole thing started 20 years ago. An accident occurred in the off-campus research institute of University T, and almost all the researchers in the facility were wiped out. Everyone was killed or injured in the explosion, but there were also survivors— —Me, and Lan Zhou.”

"At the moment of the explosion, I was thrown by the shuttle to 30 years ago, while Lanzhou was transported to 20 years later. Time travel does not affect the physical location. We both landed in Xiaotangshan, but the end is completely different."

He pondered for a moment, then tapped the armrest of the wheelchair: "By the way, do you know why Xiaotangshan is called the 'origin' in the document?"

Ji Fan shook his head, but his curiosity was aroused.

Xun Jiangyun said: "In the beginning, a team of real estate investigators of the Tang Group locked this coordinate and found that there is an unusually distorted time field - people or animals often disappear, and some people will suddenly appear after a few years. Others disappeared completely. After careful investigation, we found that there are countless time orbits meeting here, that is to say, in theory, Xiaotangshan, as the 'origin of space', is the most likely location to realize time travel!"

"What an inspiring discovery that was back then. We immediately started to renovate the abandoned building site and set up a test site for the 'Xihe' project."

"The investor at that time was Tang Yun, Boss Tang. When everyone thought 'time research' was a dream, he injected start-up funds into the project team without hesitation." He smiled wryly, "At that time, I I simply think that he is an idealist, but it's a pity..."

"Well, speaking of the explosion, I can't remember how many days I was in a coma. When I woke up, I was covered in blood, my ears were buzzing, and I was lying on my back in the woods of Xiaotangshan. I staggered to the tree trunk. Walking down the mountain, I encountered a group of armed men on the way. In addition to the old weapons, their clothes were also styles from decades ago. I couldn’t resist asking them about the date, and I got an amazing answer.”

"This group of people brought me in front of the person in charge. I was very surprised. The other party was Boss Tang, who was 30 years younger. At that time, he was just a bandit leader with a little money. Out of trust, I asked him He told me about his experience. After being shocked, he asked me a lot about the future, and finally accepted the fact that I did not lie. For a long time after that, I was immersed in the joy of the successful experiment, so when He later offered to cooperate, and I agreed without hesitation."

"—I can't wait to reproduce the victory of the experiment. On the other hand, I also want to use this to return to the original world and report the good news to my colleagues. Even after a few years, when the experiment has made no progress, and he When I proposed to study my own body, I also agreed."

"After five long years like this, Boss Tang made a lot of money by relying on the future information I provided, and the experiment gradually made breakthroughs. We initially analyzed the cause of the explosion and began to improve the entire experimental framework. At this time, I met Li Wan."

"Late that night, she accidentally broke into the experiment field. The little girl was alone, panicked. I didn't want to be nosy, but she looked terrified, so I showed up and took her to the hut for a while. The experimental project just came to an end in the first month, and I was on vacation. She stayed here and asked me to help find her lost friend. I agreed, and went to the woods every day to make a symbolic circle."

"Of course, I know that there are Boss Tang's guards near the test site, and it is absolutely impossible for idlers to break in. I thought that group of young people were just driven down the mountain and returned to the village long ago, so they didn't bother to look for it at all."

"Out of selfishness, I didn't tell Liwan the truth—I didn't want her to leave too. It was a very pleasant time, we got along very well, and then one night, we..." His pale face flushed, He coughed lightly, "Anyway, I proposed to her the next day, and although she was a little angry, she agreed to me."

"The good times didn't last long. One night, Tang Yun suddenly sent someone to say that the experiment had made great progress. I hurried to the laboratory and saw that everyone was celebrating, and the experimental bench was empty—they finally succeeded in teleporting a small white mouse." Of course, this does not prove that the experiment was really successful. The mouse never reappeared, it may have been teleported to an irregular point in time, or it may have been directly torn into pieces by the torrent of time."

"I expressed my congratulations, and at the same time raised my concerns. However, what I didn't know was that Tang Yun agreed with my words on the surface, but he was planning an even crazier plan in his heart. Not long after the experiment on mice, he suddenly told me , He found a group of volunteers and let me prepare to start the human transmission experiment."

"Of course I refused. He was furious and publicly accused me of cowardice in front of the entire laboratory. Gradually, the entire project team began to be handed over to my deputy."

"On the first day of their human experimentation, I took a glimpse from a distance. The young man who was said to be a 'volunteer' was sleeping soundly, lying on the operating table, a white light flashed, and his body disappeared. Exactly Said, part of it disappeared."

"Only his head and left hand disappeared, and the remaining part was still lying quietly on the laboratory table. The fracture was smooth and flat, and even his chest was still heaving slightly. The cheers in the laboratory stopped abruptly, and there was a dead silence. I really couldn't wait any longer. Go down, turn around and go home."

"While walking on the road, what I kept thinking about were the feet sticking out from under the lab coat of that young man. He had six toes on his left foot. I remember Liwan told me that the monitor who took them up the mountain was also Born with six fingers."

"As if to verify the terrible guess in my heart, after that, I also saw the braids, the little freckles, the buck-tooth girl she mentioned many times in turn... These young people, they all died on that cold operating table, Missing arms and legs, no dead body. The members of the project team gradually became numb from the shock at the beginning. Only Boss Tang was as enthusiastic as ever, but I could feel everyone's fear—his armed forces were all around the test site. Therefore, no one, no one dared to raise objections."

"I don't dare, I'm afraid that he will find Liwan." He took a deep breath, "But I am determined to run away."
