Chapter 434: The Shocking Mystery of Atlantis! [2 more]
Ye Xingli suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes became as big as copper bells in an instant.
Looking at the black mask that was magnified in front of him, he screamed, "Ghost!"
Could it be that he had already stepped into the underworld in advance and saw the Ox-Head and Horse-Face?
"What are you shouting for?" Ye Wanlan stretched out his finger at an extremely fast speed and directly pressed Ye Xingli's mute point. He said in a low and cold voice, "Do you want to call those who came to steal your stone?"
The girl's voice was cool and calm, with a strong sense of persuasiveness and reliability.
This made Ye Xingli's pounding heart calm down little by little.
"This way." Ye Wanlan looked around and said, "Don't look back. Hold your breath."
Ye Xingli did exactly what he was told. Even though he heard continuous explosions around him and the heat waves even brushed against his scalp, he still followed the girl obediently to the next exit.
After half an hour, the two finally walked out of the auction hall, and the entire auction hall had become a ruin.
There were many staff members from Global Auctions gathered around, and they were no longer surprised by this.
Last year, the Global Auction was held in the Southern Ming Principality, and a fight broke out at the end of the auction.
In the end, not only did the people on both sides fail to take the auction items away, but they all lost their lives. The auction items were taken away by Global Auctions in preparation for the next round of bidding.
"Hu, hu——" Ye Xingli leaned against a big tree, breathing heavily.
After confirming that there was no danger around, Ye Wanlan untied his mute point.
Ye Xingli was finally able to speak, and he blurted out: "Sister YN?!"
He looked at the extremely young girl in front of him with uncertainty and doubt, somewhat unable to believe it.
This is totally different from the image he had imagined of Sister YN!
Do not--
There is absolutely no similarity at all.
According to his imagination, Sister YN was at least thirty years old, had neat short hair, and often wore black combat uniform.
"Yes." Ye Wanlan threw a water bottle to him, "Drink three sips, not a single sip less."
The explosion just now also brought about toxic mist, and strenuous exercise will increase the speed at which the toxic mist spreads in the body.
Ye Xingli did as he was told, and after drinking the water, he felt that his body had regained some strength.
"Let's go." Ye Wanlan said, "Let's go to the Valentin family."
Ye Xingli nodded: "Sister YN, you——"
"Wait." Ye Wanlan interrupted him, "A tracker has been installed on you."
She reached out and took out a round pellet the size of half a little finger nail from the hood of his clothes, then crushed the hard pellet with force.
"Put it on." Ye Wanlan took out another mask and put it directly on Ye Xingli's face.
He followed Ye Wanlan obediently, going around left and right, and finally arrived at the back door of the foundry base that belonged to Farouk Valentin.
At this moment, the crisis was completely resolved.
After holding it in for a long time, Ye Xingli finally couldn't help it anymore. He lowered his voice and said, "I'm still very curious about one thing. Sister YN, please answer me. May I ask, Sister YN, how old are you this year?"
At this moment, many possibilities had already occurred to his mind.
For example, Sister YN has taken some anti-aging drugs, which has kept her appearance young.
For example, Sister YN has undergone genetic modification technology. Another example is that Sister YN herself is a super-powered person who has developed the limits of her body.
"What answer do you want?" Ye Wanlan turned his head. "I've measured my bone age. I'm eighteen and a half."
This is her actual age in this life.
But she has gone through a cycle of 999 years, and now she can indeed be considered a thousand-year-old monster.
Ye Xingli was choked: "How much...how much?"
"To be more precise, eighteen years, six months and twenty-three days." Ye Wanlan was very patient. "Do you have any other questions?"
Ye Xingli looked at her blankly, always feeling that life was full of fantasy.
He had been known as a genius since he was young, and even in a global center where geniuses gathered, he could still rank among the top. But Ye Wanlan's age still gave him an unprecedented shock.
"But I'm actually more than a thousand years old." Ye Wanlan raised his eyebrows, "So, you can also call me ancestor."
Ye Xingli, a brain that is known as one of the smartest in the world, was unable to process the information at this moment.
"Okay, don't just stand there." Ye Wanlan asked, "Why did you think of auctioning this stone?"
"I..." Ye Xingli gradually came back to his senses, "Before coming to the auction, I didn't know there was such a thing in this global auction. In order to buy this stone, I overdrew all my savings."
Now he is a complete pauper.
But Ye Xingli didn't care.
“I see.” Ye Wanlan nodded.
"I have to thank Sister YN for saving me." Ye Xingli exhaled, "Otherwise I would have died here today. Sister YN, please feel free to ask me anything. As long as I can do it, I will do it."
"I don't have any special requirements." Ye Wanlan lowered his eyes, "As long as you can study the secrets of this stone, that's enough."
Even though Lin Weilan said many times that her life should have ended more than 40 years ago, she was considered to have lived a long life to this day.
But this does not mean that the suffering and pain she has endured over the years is deserved.
Lin Weilan was a genius and could have lived a smooth life.
But all of this was destroyed by the mysterious creatures from the Nanling Sea.
"Of course!" Ye Xingli took a few breaths, "Sister YN, there are some secrets that have not been made public, but it doesn't hurt to tell you, there is another group of 'humans' under the Nanling Sea."
Ye Wanlan narrowed his eyes.
"Some of them have even infiltrated our ranks." Ye Xingli said word by word, "Moreover, we are still unable to detect them. Even the World Strategic Research Institute is unclear about their purpose, so I must study this stone."
"There is a traitor in the World Strategic Research Institute." Ye Wanlan stared into his eyes. "Even if you are an S-level researcher, you can't have absolute authority."
Ye Xingli was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Sister YN, you really got it right. The level of chaos in the International Strategic Research Institute is no less than that in those aristocratic families."
Even higher.
He is not the only S-level researcher. The other S-level researchers are all senior people who have already formed a very solid faction within the International Strategic Research Institute.
Although he was very young and had received great training from the dean, his foundation was ultimately too weak.
The current dean is already eighty years old, his physical condition is gradually deteriorating, and he is no longer able to handle many things.
The International Institute for Strategic Studies will elect a new president by the end of this year at the earliest.
Therefore, this year is also a crucial year and a matter of life and death for Ye Xingli.
He must accumulate enough merits and experimental results to be eligible to compete with those old guys for the position of dean.
He must also solve the mystery of Atlantis himself.
"Go and rest first." Ye Wanlan turned around, "Don't rush back to the Global Center. I will arrange the safest route for you."
Ye Xingli nodded again and followed her into the foundry base.
"Miss Ye is here." Farouk was very surprised. "I am observing this piece of gold and silver secret iron. Don't worry, I will definitely complete the task you assign to me."
"Excuse me, didn't you ask me who are in that group?" Ye Wanlan took off his hat and mask and placed them on the table, saying casually, "It just so happens that there are some ready-made ones here. You have something in common in your careers, so you can get to know each other."
Farouk was born into the Valentin family, and weapon forging was only the most basic skill.
The reason why the Valentin family is still known as the number one forging family hundreds of years later is because they are now able to integrate ancient forging techniques with emerging technologies.
Even at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, many parts were made by the Valentin family.
Hearing Ye Wanlan say this, Farouk was a little surprised. He walked down the stairs holding the forging hammer and asked: "Is the other party also a blacksmith?"
"No." Ye Wanlan said slowly, "He is a crazy scientist."
"Hello, Mr. Farouk, nice to meet you." Ye Xingli came out from behind and extended his hand. "Ye Xingli, please give me your guidance."
"Clang-"
Thank you for your support~~See you tomorrow
