Chapter 241
"Fortunately you didn't go, otherwise there wouldn't be such a result."
I sighed.
Obviously, he also learned about the news that those people in the archaeological plan were not spared, and now the whole archaeological project is in chaos.
"It's all fate!"
He said.
"By the way, you are looking for me..."
At this time, he asked me.
I suddenly came to my senses, looked at him, and asked, "Brother, you still have the ability to guard the house, right?"
He looked suspicious.
"I accidentally got a box and wanted you to open it."
I said, "I tried everything but couldn't open it."
After listening, he seemed to be very interested, and he felt a little itchy in his heart, and couldn't help feeling, "Box, what kind of box?"
The next day, I asked a freight company in the same city to transport the box to the door of Shan Haozi's villa, and then I called him to tell him about the origin of the box, and asked him to keep it secret, after all, this matter seems to involve many people and things.
It's definitely not that simple.
He told me that the box was indeed very historical, and he would notify me once the box was opened. So, I kept waiting for his news in the hotel, but for several days, there was no news from him, as if he had disappeared.
No one answered my phone call.
Maybe he didn't like to be disturbed by others when he was working, I thought. After that, another week passed, and I almost forgot about the box. Besides, the people around me didn't seem to follow me, and Li Da Kui and Mo Lan didn't contact me.
I felt more and more scared.
Until one day...
It was in the middle of the night, more than twelve o'clock, I was already asleep in a daze, and was awakened by the phone in the hotel.
"Who is it!"
I answered impatiently.
Who would call me at this time?
"It's me, Shan Haozi!" The voice on the other end of the phone was Shan Haozi, but I could clearly feel that he lowered his voice, as if it became a little strange.
"The box is open..."
He said suddenly.
"Really?"
When I heard this, I suddenly became more sober, but I could hardly hear what the other person on the other end of the phone was saying, and I didn't understand what he said afterwards.
"You...you should come to the villa to find me."
He said this at the end and hung up the phone.
Did he find something, or was there something else strange in the box?
That night, I kept thinking about what was in the box, what did Shan Haozi see, and why he couldn't explain it clearly on the phone? I was confused and held on until dawn, then I got dressed, took a taxi and went to the villa.
The car arrived at his villa soon.
The door of the villa was open, as if it knew I was coming, so it was deliberately not locked.
"Shan Haozi."
I pushed the door open, walked through the garden and a lawn, and walked into the hall.
"Ahem, what's that smell?" But as soon as I pushed open the door of the hall, a choking smell came to my face. The smell was mixed with the smell of mold and some unpleasant dust, as if I had opened a long-sealed tomb.
"Oh my God..."
I was stunned when I saw the scene in front of me. I couldn't imagine that the villa had undergone earth-shaking changes. The originally magnificent place had become a ruined corner, and the walls around were moldy.
Not only that, there was sand everywhere on the ground, and some rocks.
It seemed like an abandoned palace for a thousand years.
"Mountain Rat?"
I shouted desperately.
I even doubted whether there was a living person in it.
Could it be that this box was the cause of the trouble, just like a Pandora's box, which was out of control once it was opened? I walked in carefully. Several floors upstairs were like this, and there was no trace of Mountain Rat. So how did he call me, where was he at the time, and why did he ask me to come to the villa?
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
Suddenly, I heard a strange sound, like a mouse.
I turned my head suddenly, but I didn't see anything.
It seemed to come from the next room.
I walked over slowly and saw that it was supposed to be Shan Haozi's study, where some antiques were collected, but now it was all ruins. However, on the table, there was the opened brass box.
And the Pisces jade pendant.
"Box?"
I walked over slowly.
The sound seemed to come from the brass box, and it was getting louder and louder. I slowly approached. At this time, when I was less than one meter away from the box and was about to look inside the box, a figure suddenly appeared in front of me.
"No, don't look!"
The man stretched out a hand and grabbed my neck directly.
When my eyes fell on the man, I was so scared that I almost fainted.
