Chapter 7 Part Six: Unusual Incidents in South America

In hindsight, I thought, what a despicable plot to deceive a man who believed me completely! As soon as Xinni and I walked into the hospital building, we saw a middle-aged doctor walking over with two strong men.I took a few steps forward, asked the doctor's name, and waved to Xinni who was behind me. The two strong men rushed over and grabbed Xinni. Sinney didn't understand what happened until then, and the look on his face when he was dragged away by those two strong men is something I will never forget in my life.I have never seen such an angry look on a person's face.While struggling, he shouted: Shameless, despicable!You are too sinful!sin!sin!It is because of sin that we have to live on earth!Your sins represent the sins of the world and should not be saved!Shouldn't be saved at all!

While Sinni screamed wildly, he was dragged away by the two strong men.The doctor spread his hands to me: Your friend is in a much more serious situation than what you said! I had to smile wryly: sometimes he is sober.If you don't have enough equipment and manpower here, you can contact his family and send him back! The doctor nodded and told me to keep my records.I made up a fake name at will, perfunctory, and left the hospital. After I left the hospital, I didn't take Xinny's scolding at me to heart. Instead, I felt that one thing had been resolved.All that's left is to find Bain again.

And I believe that Bain has been still in Kathmandu, and may still be continuing his business of selling antiquities.You should be able to find him if you just go to the places frequented by tourists. Of course the most touristy place is the hotel, and I also wanted to ask Bai Su in the hotel where I stayed for the first time if he had ever contacted me.Bai Su left in such a hurry, what strange thing happened to Professor Li Da in South America? I stopped by a few hotels and didn't see Bain.It was nearly dark when I arrived at the hotel. As soon as I approached the counter, the staff of the hotel recognized me. He looked at me with very strange eyes: Sir, after you left with the imperial minister last time, you informed me to check out, so you know the imperial minister!

Until then, I didn't know that the middle-aged man was the former minister of the king of Nepal.I answered vaguely: Is there a letter from me, a telegram, or something? The staff kept saying: Yes!have!There's a long distance call, we recorded it, it's from South America, please hold on. The efficiency of people in this place in Nepal cannot be demanded.As soon as I heard a long-distance call from South America, I knew that something was unusual, and of course I was eager to hear the recording of the call.But please wait, I waited for nearly an hour, and I was so angry that I saw the clerk took a tape. When I reached for the tape, the clerk reached out to me for almost The price of a tape recorder.

I hurriedly paid the money, only to realize that without a tape recorder, I would not be able to hear what was said on the tape. I asked him for a tape recorder again, and his answer was still the same: Please wait a minute! This time, I didn't wait any longer, I went out of the hotel, went to another electronics store, simply bought a small tape recorder, stuffed the tape, and pressed the button, I heard Bai Su's voice.Bai Su said he wanted to find me, but the hotel staff replied that I no longer lived in the hotel.Bai Su's voice is very anxious, I can totally hear it.Bai Su asked the hotel staff to leave her words, saying that I would definitely come to get news, but the hotel staff replied that there was no such service.

When I heard this, I was already furious. Bai Su kept talking, and the hotel staff said that when they received long-distance calls from other places, they had recorded them from the beginning, but: Sorry, miss, you talked for too long No, please don't hinder other people's chances to talk! I heard Bai Su call out: Wei, come quickly!Come on!Then, the recording is over! I held the tape recorder in my hand, and it was hard to believe that such a thing would happen in the world!Although I have known for a long time that in this kind of place, people's ability to handle affairs cannot be overestimated!

The message I heard from Bai Su was just: Come on!Come on!It was an urgent call, and she would never have made such a call if there were no urgent matters on her part. I don't know what happened at Professor Lida's place, but Bai Su called me many days ago, when I was in Darjeeling, hanging out with hippies. Although I didn't find Bain, I couldn't help but leave Nepal.I can't openly leave yet. If someone finds out that I am in Nepal, I don't know what trouble I will cause.If I leave by land again, it will take a few more days. At this moment, I remembered that if the matter with Bai Su was extremely urgent, she would definitely contact Lao Cai at home.

I patted myself on the head, and grabbed my hair hard. This may be one of the functions of hair. Haha, I blame myself for not thinking of this immediately. I ran back to the hotel to make a long-distance call, and this time it was connected without delay. As soon as Lao Cai heard my voice, he shouted: I have been waiting for you for five days! I hurriedly said: "Stop talking nonsense, what did the wife say!" Lao Cai said: "It's not my wife who said it. It's a tape. I transcribed it all. Listen!" In less than half a minute, I heard Bai Su's voice: Wei, I can't call you by myself, so I recorded the voice and asked someone to transmit my voice to you.Come on, use the fastest means of transportation, I can't explain to you what happened here in detail, you don't need to look for Bai Lai again, Bai Lai is back!

Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment, Bai Lai is back, what is this talking about, Bai Lai is dead, how can he go to South America?Bai Su must not know that Bai Lai is dead.But after listening to it again, I was even more stunned, Bai Su continued: "The thing is very strange, I believe Bai Lai died in Nepal!"Professor Lida's situation is very bad, hurry up!something is wrong here At this point in Bai Su's tape, the voice has become more and more urgent, and I heard a kind of canopy drumming.I have also done some research on Indian drums. When I hear the drums, I can tell that it is an Indian tribe who is gathering all the people to conduct a very grand ceremony of worshiping the gods. The sacrifice ceremony must be sudden.

At this time, I didn't pay much attention to that drum sound.Because I know that Professor Lida’s laboratory is in the center of the jungle in the upper reaches of the Amazon River in Brazil. There are many Indian tribes nearby, and some tribes are almost completely isolated from the civilized world and are very vicious.When Bai Su spoke, he might have been in Professor Lida's laboratory, so it's not surprising that some Indian drums were mixed in. But when I listened to it again, I couldn't help being surprised.Bai Su's voice became more and more panicked.She is by no means a person who is flustered when things happen, so I was particularly surprised by her panicked tone.She continued: "I will try my best to deal with it. I hope you come quickly. I don't know if I can finish talking with you, but the person I entrusted is very reliable. He will definitely do his best to transfer the tape to you and wait for a while." , wait

Bai Su called twice to wait a minute. Obviously, that was not what she said to me, but something unusual happened when she was speaking, and then there was an exclamation. I could understand it immediately. It was Professor Lida's call, and then the sound fell silent, and the sound of the tape ended. This kind of situation is really extremely anxious. The thing may have happened ten days ago, and I am tens of thousands of miles away. If something unfortunate happened at that time, I would be unable to remedy it anyway! Just when I was in a hurry, Lao Cai's voice came again, and he said: The person who called said he was Lieutenant Qi Gaozhong, and he also told you to go as soon as possible. I hurriedly asked: Did he say what happened to his wife? Lao Cai said: No, no, you I took a deep breath and said: I will go right away, I will go in the fastest way!I didn't wait for Lao Cai to say anything more, so I put down the phone.After putting down the phone, I only thought for a few minutes before I made a decision: If I want to get to South America in the fastest way, I can only achieve my goal by finding someone to help me. This person, I will meet him again. Although embarrassing, it must be him.This man is the king of Nepal. I rented a car through the hotel staff and drove straight to the palace. When I was stopped by the guards, I asked to see the imperial minister.I was taken to the guard room and waited for half an hour. The middle-aged man I had dealt with before came over.As soon as I saw him, before he opened his mouth to criticize me, I immediately said: I want to see the king, no matter what, I want to see the king! The face of the former imperial minister was very ugly: the king will not meet a treacherous person! I said: I am coming back to settle a personal matter, which is very important and has nothing to do with Bain! The imperial minister's expression became even uglier: What Ba Yin, I didn't even know there was such a person! There is an extremely unusual relationship between Bayin and the king, which I have already confirmed. The former minister denied that there was Bayin, of course, because this mysterious relationship cannot be made public.If I follow my usual temper, I will not give up and will continue to investigate.But now I am naturally not in the mood to take these things into consideration. I hurriedly said: "Okay, there is no such person at all, I will completely forget about him, but I have something, I need his help." The former imperial minister haha ​​said: I will handle the king's daily affairs on my behalf. If you have anything to do, just ask me! I thought about it for a while: I want to go to South America as soon as possible, can I borrow a military plane from the Indian military through your relationship?I can drive myself! I believed that my request was weird enough, so when the imperial minister heard it, he looked at me with a very strange expression.I will not give him a chance to evade: you have done me this favor, and I will never forget it. If your country needs me to do anything in the future, no matter how difficult it is, I will do my best. The imperial minister looked at me for a while, and then said: I'm going to discuss with the king. He finished that sentence, and went out, and as soon as he was gone, two officers came to accompany me.He was gone for no more than thirty minutes.And during these thirty minutes, I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, running around in circles.Thirty minutes later the call came and an officer answered.After the officer put down the phone, he saluted me immediately: Please go to the palace, the minister said that the king is going to see you! Upon hearing what he said, I was greatly relieved, and the two officers accompanied me into the palace. In the same gorgeous room as last time, I saw the minister and the king. The king was not angry, but just looked at me with a half-smile: You are a very interesting person! I smiled wryly: Thank you, I have unavoidable difficulties. Unexpectedly, this sentence resonated with the king, and he suddenly sighed: Just like you, I also have unavoidable difficulties.The minister has already contacted, and an Indian jet military plane is already on the way and will stop at the Kathmandu airport.There is a pilot to take you there, because I don't want to see you again when you are sent back to the plane! I was overjoyed and bowed to the king: I really don't know how to thank you. The king stared at me for a moment: Actually, you should know how to do it is the best way to thank you. I'm not stupid, of course I understand what he means.I thought about it for a while: Yes, this is the first time that His Majesty and I have met.When the king heard what I said, he blinked mischievously and laughed loudly.That made me discover that the king is really a gentleman with a great sense of humor and very approachable. And at that time, I really thought of the relationship between him and Bayin, there must be some ulterior motives.Since he helped me so sincerely, of course I should understand his difficulties and stop investigating further.Indeed, I decided to give up the investigation at that time.As for the fact that I came to Nepal again afterward, found Bain again, and clarified the mysterious relationship between Bain and the king, that was not my own wish, but the development of the situation, which forced me to do so.Fortunately, the king later forgave me.This is a matter for the future, let's put it aside for the time being. At that time, my problem was solved, and the former imperial minister had contacted all the places the plane passed through diplomatic channels. I would land at a military airport in northern Brazil, and then drive straight to Professor Lida's laboratory.This is the fastest method, nothing can be faster than it. While waiting for the plane to arrive, the King and I had a chance to chat for about half an hour.The king asked me some of the strangest things that have happened to me in my life, and I told him briefly. The king asked me: Do you firmly believe that there are advanced creatures on other planets besides the earth? I smiled and said: I firmly believe, and there must be! The king seemed to be very interested in this question and asked a lot.It didn't occur to me that the king had other meanings, only that he had the interest of ordinary people in this issue.It wasn't until he suddenly asked a question that I thought it was a bit unusual. He suddenly asked: According to you, do some extremely outstanding people come from other planets? I casually asked: Who is it like? The king said: For example, when he was talking here, he paused for a while, seeing that he seemed to be thinking about whether he should ask me, and he finally asked: For example, like the Buddha. I was stunned for a moment, this is a difficult question to answer.I have no choice but to say: It’s hard to say, the Buddha is an outstanding person. The religion he created put forward a whole set of theories about human life. This set of theories has lasted for more than two thousand years, and human beings have not yet been able to prove it in practice. The king leaned closer and showed a very earnest expression: The ultimate goal of the Buddha's theory is to enable people to escape from reincarnation and return to the Western Paradise. Do you know what the Western Paradise refers to? I didn't expect the king to discuss this issue with me suddenly at such a time, so I had no choice but to say: Xitian is the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss. The king seemed to be talking to himself, and he seemed to be asking me: In the Western Paradise, do people live forever?no death? I laughed: If you can go to the Western Paradise, then you are not a human being, but a god, and of course gods live forever. The king repeated the sentence that God is of course eternal life several times.I have already seen that the king must have a very important matter in his mind that he wants to discuss with me, but it seems that he does not want to say what he thinks suddenly. I have no choice but to say: there is a strange phenomenon, all religions have almost the same purpose. The king said: Yes, the purpose is that after leaving the body, a certain part of a person can go to a certain place. This place may be called the Western Ultimate Bliss, or Paradise.All religions tell believers that there is a God, and the process of human life does not matter, the spirit or the soul is the most important. I nodded in agreement, and the king suddenly asked, "Why?" Why?Naturally I couldn't answer, the king smiled, it was a helpless and self-deprecating smile, and said: Could it be that the founders of those religions all came from one place? I was shocked. For a while, I didn't know what to say, but the king continued: Jesus, Muhammad, Buddha, and Lao Tzu, did they know each other? This is a question that cannot be more bizarre.Even though I have an acceptable attitude towards all weird things, after hearing this question, I couldn't help shaking my head: That's impossible, these four people lived very far apart, hundreds of years. But the king looked out of the window and lost his mind for a while: Hundreds of years, that is only our time, in other places, it may be only a few minutes or hours difference. I find it more and more strange that the king's imagination in this regard is boundless.There are people who connect Jesus, Muhammad, Buddha Sakyamuni, and Laozi Lier together, but it is a bit unbelievable to say that the four of them knew each other at all. I think the king may have his own set of ideas in his heart, and I would be willing to listen to his further explanation, but at this moment, the imperial minister walked in: in ten minutes, the plane will be able to land! I stood up quickly, and the king politely escorted me to the door of the room. I could feel that he still had a lot to say to me, and I could also feel the loneliness that he had something in his heart but couldn’t find someone to confide in. But I was in a hurry, and, due to unavoidable difficulties, I couldn't even stay in Nepal, so it seemed that it would be very difficult for me to meet the person I was talking to in the future! The imperial minister sent a car to take me to the airport, and the plane has already arrived.The pilot of the plane was a lieutenant colonel. He didn't know where I was from. He only regarded me as a distinguished guest of the royal family and respected me very much.I asked him to fly as fast as possible on the edge of the safe zone, and he agreed. Although jets are the fastest means of transportation on earth, it will be more than thirty hours before I drive my car through the jungles of northern Brazil. I have been to Professor Lida's laboratory once, and I am familiar with the route, even though it is at night, I will not get lost. Although it is very dangerous to rush into the jungle at night, I can't take much care of it. The headlights of the jeep often shoot into the eyes of wild animals.Under the strong light, those eyes shone bright and green, looking weird and frightening. The closer I got to the destination, the more impatient I became. By the time the sun rose, I had reached the river. It was a small river that was not very wide, but the water was very fast. Professor Lida's laboratory is just in front of a bend in the river, only about ten minutes away. I was even more nervous and drove the car very fast.On rough roads, sometimes the car would jump three or four feet, then fall, and ten minutes later, I was in that bend in the river, and all of a sudden, I hit the brakes hard. What I saw gave me such a shock that I stepped on the brakes. It was a natural reaction. The car was driving at a high speed, suddenly stopped, the car spun, and turned over abruptly.I didn't care whether I was injured or not, and while screaming, I struggled to get out from under the car and stood up straight. Although my body was shaky and I couldn't stand firmly, I could still see the situation in front of me very clearly. Professor Lida's laboratory was originally six neat rows of thatched huts, four of which were greenhouses made of glass he transported so hard.There are thousands of plants that he cherishes more than his life and have spent nearly twenty years collecting them.But now, all I see are ruins! The six rows of thatched huts were all reduced to ashes, and nothing remained.Under the light of the rising sun, I saw many shining objects under the charred foundation of the house. It was only when I staggered forward that I realized that the shining objects were broken glass that was broken into thousands of pieces. . There was no one at all, and if there were, they could be seen at a glance. Where did Professor Lida go?Where is his assistant?Where were the natives he hired?More importantly, where did Bai Su go? I already knew that even if I came by the fastest way, I would be late, but I didn't expect things to be so bad!What is going on here? While making meaningless calls, I ran back and forth on the foundations of the six rows of thatched huts. Bai Su once said that the situation is not good, but she has said that she can handle it. Unless the situation is extremely bad, she should at least leave something behind so that I can speculate on what happened here. But I searched and searched, but found nothing, only a desolate ruin in front of me! When I sat down, I realized that the sun was already in the middle!I don't know what to do, I've never been so at a loss, I don't know what to do.So, when I suddenly heard the sound of a car coming again, I jumped up abruptly as if I had met a great savior, and went to meet him. I just ran for more than a hundred meters, and saw a military jeep driving over.There were three soldiers and one officer in the car.The car stopped beside me, and the officer said: Mr. Wesley? I didn't ask him how he knew my name, just nodded.The officer said: I received a report that someone was driving through the forest at night towards this place, and I know it must be you. I remembered Lao Cai's words, and hurriedly said: Your Excellency is Lieutenant Qi Gaozhong? The officer nodded in agreement, and I yelled: What the hell happened here? Lieutenant Qi Gaozhong sighed, got out of the car, and walked forward. I followed him and came to the ruins. He said: "It's very unusual. Look over there." As he spoke, he pointed to the east.At his fingertips, there are dense mountains and mountains.He said: There, live the black army As soon as I heard the word "Heijunzu", I took a deep breath and said: "Heijunzu!"The Black Army has no contact with the outside world, as long as no one will invade them, although they are fierce, they will not take the initiative to invade others! Qi Gao looked a little surprised, as if he was surprised that I knew an Indian tribe with a population of less than a thousand in the deep mountains of northern Brazil. I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, pointed at the ruins, and asked: Is this a masterpiece of the Heijun clan? Qi Gao smiled wryly: I'm late!You are too late too! I just feel my scalp tingling: the black army, their professors and my wife, they Qi Gao shook his head: I don't know what happened to them!I make regular inspections, and the first time I came here was more than a month ago, and the situation at that time was already very unusual.The Heijun clan, who had never communicated with the outside world, even sent a wizard down the mountain to find Professor Lida, asking him to go into the mountain. I asked: Did the professor violate the forbidden area of ​​the Black Army when collecting specimens? Qi Gao said: Absolutely not. The professor has been here for many years and has a deep understanding of the Black Army, so he would not do such a stupid thing.The day I arrived was the second day after the wizard came. Professor Lida told me about it, and he said to me jokingly: It’s really strange that the wizard of the Black Army tribe actually told me that my son was They are there, tell me to go! Qi Gao looked at me: Isn't this too ridiculous? This is of course too ridiculous, but I feel a chill: Bailey is back.This is what Bai Su said: I believe Bai Lai died in Nepal.This is also what Bai Su said.What is the weird connection in this? Qi Gao continued: "The wizard has a very high status in the clan. It is unusual for him to come out of the mountain in person. I also asked him if the native is really a priest."Professor Lida also answered me: The feathers on his hat are only black and white. If you say he is not a wizard, what is his identity?Only black and white, not only a wizard, but also the main priest in a major ceremony, things are really not easy.When I was leaving that day, the professor left in my car and said he wanted to talk to a friend in Asia. I said: That's me, but I'm in Nepal, looking for his son!My wife got a call from him. Qi Gao looked very puzzled, and I didn't explain further to him.Because as soon as I heard Qi Gao's narration, I was sure that Professor Li Da only told Qi Gao a little bit of the truth, but concealed a lot.Because just because a wizard came to him and said that his son was in the settlement of the black army in the mountains, it was not enough to make the professor call me, and it was not enough to make Bai Su travel thousands of miles when he heard his call. come. Qi Gao continued: "Later, it seemed that nothing happened. I sent someone to send your wife here. I was driving. When we came here, we could hear the drums of the Heijun clan summoning the whole clan to show that they In the family, something important happened, and the drumming lasted for several days. I came every other day. When I came for the last time, your wife asked me to bring a tape to call you, but you were still not there. I said: Yes, I heard the tape.At that time, she was in a very bad situation, didn't you realize it? Qi Gao heard the meaning of blaming him in my words, and hurriedly said: Who said I didn't notice it!I could see that both she and the professor were in a panic, as if something absolutely inexplicable had happened to them, but when I asked, they all said nothing.I couldn't find out why, so of course I had no choice but to leave. Another day later, when I came here again, it was already like this! I said: What do you think happened? Qi Gaodao: Of course it is the attack of the black army. I said again: what about people?What about all of them? Qi Gao shook his head, expressing that he couldn't answer. I thought about it: give me as much gasoline as possible in your car! Qi Gao seemed to immediately think of what I wanted to do, and he yelled: No way! I said: It's not a question of whether I can, but I must go! Qi Gao was extremely horrified, and even gasped involuntarily: You want to break into the restricted area of ​​the black army!Since you know the Black Army, don't you know about Sir Heng's expedition? Of course I know about Sir Henry's expedition.Sir Heng is a great British explorer. He wanted to break through the isolation of the Black Army, and recruited seven volunteers. Regardless of the opposition of the Brazilian government, he even repelled a team of troops sent by the Brazilian government to stop them, and entered the The restricted area of ​​the Black Army.At the time, British bookies were offering five hundred to one odds on their chances of survival.As a result, the 1 in 500 chance did not come up.Eight men, including Sir Lien Hench's body, were found chained to a raft on a tributary of the Amazon. All eight people were dead. On the wooden raft, there was a sign of the Black Army.Since then, the Brazilian government has drawn a no-go zone, forbidding anyone to come within three miles of the Indian tribe. I didn't say anything more to Qi Gao, but just repeated my request.Qi Gao's face was pale, and he murmured: This is suicide, I can't provide you with gasoline. I said simply: the result is the same, even if it is on foot, I will go.Lieutenant, no corpse was found here, we cannot despair, the people here may still be living in the Black Army! Qi Gao blinked, it is incredible that outsiders can live in the Heijun tribe, I am not ignorant of this, but as far as I am concerned, I have to hope so. Qi Gao said: "Then, at least wait a while until I discuss it with the officer!" I said firmly: No, I don't want to delay for a minute! Qi Gao sighed, commanded three soldiers under him, moved six cans of gasoline to my car, pushed the overturned car up, I immediately got into the car, raised my hand to Qi Gao, and drove towards Before, when I passed by Qi Gao, Qi Gao took off his saber and threw it towards me. I caught the pistol and continued to drive forward without stopping. After a while, I had entered the jungle again. There was only one narrow road in the jungle, and even that was full of bushes and stumps.No matter how impatient I was, I couldn't go faster than five miles an hour. That night, I just determined the direction and drove north.Those mountains seem very close, but in fact they are at least seventy or eighty miles away, and they are still far apart until dark.I haven't slept for one night, but my anxious mood didn't make me sleepy at all. I drove the car non-stop all night. When it was almost dawn, I finally broke out of the jungle and saw a small plain at the foot of the mountain.On the edge of the plain, a huge wooden sign was erected, using various characters and even primitive Indian hieroglyphs, indicating that it would be extremely dangerous to go forward. I drove the car all the way to the warning sign, then stopped, drank a few sips of water, and ate some dry food. Looking forward, the front is very calm, the small plain is full of wild flowers, and there is a group of deer not far from me, looking at me with curious eyes, the mountains are less than five miles away, and it can be reached directly in less than ten minutes.
