That is Shen Sunian, who disappeared in the depths of the Ogu Ocean many years ago, but then inexplicably appeared at the northern border defense line.

"Well, Professor Shen is an expert in the study of ancient theology. He has edited many existing books on the study of ancient theology. He is also an excellent linguist, theologian, naturalist and explorer.

If he and his team had suddenly disappeared a few years ago, maybe this time the operation would have been completely handed over to him and his team." Bai Jin was filled with admiration when talking about Shen Sunian.

Xue Ming didn't know much about Shen Sunian, he had only heard of his name.

"Hmm... What about between him and Guan Gu Qing?"

"Professor Guan was a member of Professor Shen's team before, but during the operation when Professor Shen disappeared, Professor Guan's team was on standby and did not actually participate in it."

"Oh...so, you are saying that Guan Guqing joined the exploration team this time most likely to continue the unfinished research and investigation of Shen Sunian?"

Bai Jin shook his head: "Not necessarily. Based on my understanding of Professor Guan, he is only suitable to be a soldier and obey orders. He is not the kind of person who can formulate complete plans."

Xue Ming's eyes moved and he asked again: "Oh, if that's the case, although Guan Guqing has no plans, he must know many secrets, but he has been hiding it from everyone."

"Well, it's very possible, and... I guess Professor Guan has discovered a long time ago that the bottom area is not just the special corridor, but the secret he knows warns him not to tell these things, otherwise he will attract trouble.

disaster."

Xue Ming nodded, it was indeed possible.

It's a pity that Guan Gu Qing is dead now, so it's impossible to ask clearly.

While Xue Ming and Bai Jin were talking, a special task force member who went around to look for clues discovered something suspicious.

"Sir, I have something here."

Xue Ming and Bai Jin immediately looked at each other after hearing this, and then went to the team member.

Team member's mouth

The suspicious object is located between the hands of a suspended stone sculpture on the side of the palace. From a distance, it looks like a glass ball of light.

There are many similar statues around it, but those maid statues hold stone balls in their hands, while only this suspended statue holds a glass ball of light.

Xue Ming released the "worker bee" and inspected it closely for a long time, but he still couldn't determine what material this thing was made of.

After a while, another team member found similar glass balls, and judging from their positions, they should be symmetrical.

With such obvious symmetry, you don't need to guess to know that there must be a reason for them to be placed here. As for what the reason is, it's hard to say.

Asked about Bai Jin, Bai Jin only said that he seemed to remember that there were records about the group of maids in ancient books.

However, there is no record or reason for the different objects held in their hands.

Xue Ming was a little disappointed, and Bai Jin was also embarrassed. She originally vowed that she could help Xue Ming find those people, but she didn't expect that she would become a burden after she came down...

Fortunately, Xue Ming was just disappointed and didn't say anything to her.

After warning everyone not to act rashly, the three team members who went down the steps first also sent back image information.

Xue Ming opened it and couldn't help but stood stunned on the spot.

Bai Jin was curious about what Xue Ming saw, but Xue Ming said with a cold face: "You two escort her out, and the others will follow me down."

Bai Jin was stunned and said hurriedly: "Minister, what happened down there? What on earth is there?"

Xue Ming didn't say anything, and the two special team members didn't give her a chance to ask again, so they just forcibly took Bai Jin away.

As for Guan Guqing, his body was still left where it was. Xue Ming originally planned to arrange for someone to take his body out as well, but now that the situation was urgent, no one could be spared.

So Xue Ming asked his men to cremate Guan Gu Qing on the spot and only took away some of his ashes.

After dealing with Guan Gu Qing, Xue Ming said coldly: "After dealing with the following situation, you have only two options. One is to accept memory erasure, and the other is to sleep here forever. Are you clear?"

"Clear."

"Okay, come out."

"yes."

…

At noon on June 18, 2015.

There are only the last fifteen minutes left before the end of the window period.

According to Bai Jin, if this window period is missed, the expedition may be postponed for many years.

However, several core members of the expedition team are either missing or are fighting the enemy. It seems that this window period will not be met.

In this regard, Yincheng and Nanyingjian were fine, but Bai Jin was extremely annoyed.

She has never been as angry as she has been recently since she joined the exploration team...

…

"Miss... don't be angry... I missed it this time. Maybe the next window period will come soon?" Bai Yurong comforted his lady while taking out the report and said: "This is what you gave me before. The data you asked me to analyze for you has now been sorted out, would you like to take a look first?"

How could Bai Jin have the time to care about these things now? Her thoughts had long been taken away by Gu Qing's death and the secrets under the steps.

As the only one in the Bai family who has found a "secluded place" to settle down outside of politics and business, Bai Jin has been serving the cause she loves wholeheartedly.

But now, since she got involved in this mystery, her heart was completely confused.

Seemingly sensing Bai Jin's thoughts, Bai Yurong asked tentatively: "Miss, are you still thinking about Professor Shen?"

Bai Jin was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Bai Yurong coldly and said, "How do you know what I am thinking?"

Bai Yurong was startled by Bai Jin's eyes, and she explained hesitantly: "I...I just guessed..."

"Guess? I have only mentioned Professor Shen's matter to you once. Why do you care so much? Could it be that you were also sent by them to monitor me?" Bai Jin's tone became colder.

Bai Yurong was stunned when he heard this, and immediately denied it: "No, no, no, miss, please don't think so. How could I be sent by your husband to monitor you? I just systematically sorted out the recent events. Then I searched for the disappearance of Professor Shen a few years ago, and then...then...made a bold guess...Miss! You must believe me!"

Bai Jin was still indifferent when she heard the words. She looked at Bai Yurong and said: "Our Bai family has been dancing on the edge of the cliff since we received the favor from our husband. If we are not careful, we will be doomed. As the person who gave the surname to the Bai family, you know so much Interests are involved, how can you expect me to trust you? Huh?!"

Bai Yurong was stunned. She looked at Bai Jin in front of her and thought to herself: 'How could the young lady say such a thing...'

After Bai Jin said this, she vaguely felt that she might have said it too harshly. She turned around and said, "You have to make me believe that you can do it. As long as you do one thing for me, I won't doubt you anymore."

Bai Yurong came back to her senses and asked quickly: "Miss, just give me your orders."

Bai Jin pondered for a while and then said: "Actually, you are right. I am indeed thinking about Professor Shen, but Professor Shen's unfinished career did not reveal much information. With your energy, I want to know what's going on in it." Secrets are impossible, so I don't care about any of this. What I care about is that if you are really sent by Mr. to monitor me, it means that our Bai family will become the victims of Mr.'s next plan. , not to mention my life, even if the entire Bai family is wiped out, it is not impossible. What I say...can you understand?"
