Chapter 4 Mysterious Bones

We both were in a state of disgrace and had a deep understanding of each other, so we could only speak.

Fang Shaoqi poured me a cup of tea, "How about Brother Zhuo, does it taste good?"

I nodded and raised my thumb, "It's quite OK!"

Fang Shaoqi also poured himself a cup, "I remember the first time it was Teacher Yue who brought me, and it felt that it was still the taste of that time."

I was still thinking about the topic just now, "By the way, what did you find in school just now?"

Fang Shaoqi took a sip of tea, "Brother Zhuo, don't think I'm just a junior this year, but I've been on the campus of Ocean University for more than three years. My family lives next to the school. With my father's relationship, I can't get in the school except for the finance department, and I have been to anywhere else in the school."

I believe Fang Shaoqi's words, who dares to stop him?

Fang Shaoqi continued: "I remember that at that time, it was about two or three years after Teacher Yue came to Ocean University. Because Teacher Yue had outstanding grades at that time, the school approved his application to establish a geological laboratory. At that time, the school had many empty rooms, especially the basement. The school agreed that Teacher Yue could choose one as the laboratory. I was still in elementary school at that time, and I felt that Teacher Yue knew a lot and could tell a lot of strange stories. So I often skipped classes to come to Teacher Yue to play with him and pestered him to tell me stories." When I talked about this, I saw Fang Shaoqi's eyes full of nostalgia.

I could understand Fang Shaoqi's feelings and patted him on the shoulder, "Did you find that thing when you were choosing a room with Teacher Yue?"

Fang Shaoqi glanced at me, "That's right! Brother Zhuo, you are so smart! At that time, Teacher Yue and I went to the basement to see the room. In fact, most of the basement of the school was abandoned and was only used as a miscellaneous room at most. So few people would go in the basement, so it seemed very gloomy. I was very scared at that time and did not dare to follow Teacher Yue. But Teacher Yue said something to me, which still makes me remember it fresh. He said: A real man stands up to the sky and respects the creatures in the world, but is not afraid of everything!"

When I heard this, it was really like what a tomb robber said.

Fang Shaoqi continued, "That sentence gave me courage. We looked at each other until we arrived at the innermost storage room, which was filled with teaching aids, broken tables and chairs, and some miscellaneous items, which seemed messy. We walked in and checked, and suddenly we found a long thing standing by the wall. Teacher Yue was stunned at the time, and walked over quickly, moved the thing over and placed it on the ground. This thing was almost four meters long and wrapped in a layer of cotton cloth. We carefully removed the cloth outside.

The thing leaked out. This thing was generally white, mottled on it, one thick and the other thin, with a flat cross-section. We thought it was like a bone at that time. But I really couldn't figure out what kind of bone had such a big bone. Could it be a dinosaur? I was still young at that time and I was thinking randomly. Teacher Yue seemed extremely excited at that time." As he said that, Fang Shaoqi suddenly raised his head and looked at me steadily and said, "Brother Zhuo, this is talking about these things to you. I suddenly felt that Teacher Yue's disappearance might be related to this bone."

I was very impressed and signaled him to continue.

Fang Shaoqi told me that later he learned through some old professors in the school that the school planned to build a new teaching building about 40 years ago. At that time, there was a slogan called "Preparation for war and famine", so the foundations were laid very deeply because the construction of the air raid shelter should be taken into account. Just when digging the foundation deep, something like a bone was dug out. Some paleontology teachers were very excited at that time and thought they had dug dinosaur fossils, but when they dig down, they had nothing left.

Looking at this bone again, it doesn't seem to look like a fossil of a dinosaur bone. Some people also suspect it is a whale bone, but it doesn't look like it in terms of density. But what else can such a big bone besides dinosaurs and whales? After a while of research and discussion, there was no result. The matter was left in the end and the bone was placed in the storage room. Later, after ten years of catastrophe, many information and documents were lost, and this bone was forgotten by people. This forgot for forty years.

Until Teacher Yue and Fang Shaoqi accidentally discovered it, Teacher Yue later selected the laboratory in the room where bones were found. He asked someone to clean up everything, leaving only the bones.

After listening to Fang Shaoqi's story, I asked, "You just said that you think Teacher Yue's disappearance is related to this bone. Why do you think so?"

Fang Shaoqi drank the tea in front of him, "Just a few days before Teacher Yue disappeared, I went to the laboratory to find him and found that the bone that was originally placed on the laboratory table was missing. I was a little curious and asked Teacher Yue where the thing went. Teacher Yue seemed in a very good mood that day, and actually told me that he had eaten the bone and that if it could be digested, he would become an immortal! I was confused at the time, and Teacher Yue laughed. I thought he was just joking, so I didn't care. Unexpectedly, he left a few days later and never came back."

Fang Shaoqi's words shocked me. Is that bone not really allowed Huangshan to eat, right? Could it be a rare medicinal material? Thinking of this, I said to Fang Shaoqi: "Mr. Fang, can you take me to Teacher Yue's laboratory to see it? See if you can find any clues."

Fang Shaoqi stood up as soon as he heard this, "No problem Brother Zhuo, let's go now."

Back at Ocean University, with Fang Shaoqi next to me, we came straight to the laboratory in the deepest part of the basement without any obstacles. Although the basement here is not as chaotic and dim as in horror movies, the entire basement is clean and bright. But I don’t know why the closer I get to that laboratory, a chill will appear in my heart, and an inexplicable sense of oppression will appear in my heart.

When he walked to the door, Fang Shaoqi skillfully took out the key and opened the door. "You have this key too?" It seems that Fang Shaoqi is really concerned about him, Teacher Yue's affairs.

Fang Shaoqi turned on the lights in the room and threw a bunch of keys on the table at the door. "Teacher Yue used to like this laboratory very much. Except for class, he often stayed alone in the laboratory."

The instruments and equipment in the laboratory were covered with dust, and I roughly walked around. The laboratory was very big, with some test benches, and many instruments and bottles that I didn’t understand. There was a row of display cabinets against the wall, and nothing special. Of course, I didn’t see the very long bone that Fang Shaoqi mentioned.

But I always feel that something is wrong with this laboratory, but I can't say it for a while. If I have the chance, I hope I can come here by myself and study it carefully.

At this moment, Fang Shaoqi's cell phone rang, and he picked it up casually, but after feeding it a few times, it seemed that he couldn't hear it clearly, so he hurried out with his phone. My eyes moved, and suddenly I saw the key that Fang Shaoqi threw on the table. A thought flashed through my mind, and I quickly walked over, took out my phone and looked at the key he had just used, took a few photos in a row, and then carefully put it back to the original place. After doing all this, my heart was pounding. It was a bit like a spy movie, which made me a little excited.

Soon Fang Shaoqi came back and said to me a little sorry: "Brother Zhuo, I'm really sorry. My girlfriend is asking me for something urgent. We might come back another day. I'll take you out, otherwise if you go out from here and be discovered by the old man at the door, you may not be able to say anything."

I nodded, "Okay, actually, I looked at it and it was nothing. Let's go first."

After Fang Shaoqi and I broke up, we returned to the hotel. We had a lot of lunch and didn't want to eat dinner anymore. So we ran to the hotel's bath center to make a Thai spa. It was very comfortable and of course the price was very beautiful. But thinking about the 600,000 yuan on the card, it was nothing. After the spa, we came out of the hotel and found that it was completely dark. I looked at it and it was almost eight o'clock, so I walked along the road next to the hotel for about five hundred meters. A lock store appeared not far away. The location of this lock store was already viewed when I came back during the day.

I pushed open the store door and walked in. A middle-aged man in the store asked, "Would you like to repair the lock or install the key?"

"Put the key!" I replied.

The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and said, "Take it."

I took out my phone and put it in his hand.

The middle-aged man looked at me in surprise, "You want to get a phone! I can't do this job! I'll let you give me the key to accompany me!"

I pointed to the screen of my phone, "I'll match the one in the photo!"

The middle-aged man looked at it and threw his phone back, "I can't do this. This key cannot be matched casually. To put it bluntly, don't care. I don't know what you are doing. I don't want to cause trouble."

I smiled, "Boss, please help. The original key is lost, and I have only photos left."

The middle-aged man sneered, "Who are you lying to? Is there anyone who only takes the keys? It's obvious that it was intentional."

I continued to say good things, "Boss, please help me, I'll give you more money." As soon as I finished speaking, I saw a light flashing in the middle-aged man's eyes. I couldn't help but sneer in my heart. What people call principles is just because the price of violating the principles is not high enough.

The middle-aged man continued to shirk responsibility: "Brother, it's not that I don't help you. I have risks in doing this. Unless you can get the police station certificate, I can give you free gifts."

I reached out to take out my wallet, took out two hundred yuan bills, and placed them in front of the middle-aged man, "Help!"

The middle-aged man hesitated at the money, "This is not a question of how much money it costs, this..."

I took out two again, "That's it, okay?"

The middle-aged man pursed his lips and grabbed the money, "Okay, I'll help you once. If something happens, you must not say that I'm matching you!"

I put my wallet back in my pocket, "Boss, don't worry, I don't know you, and you have never seen me."

The boss's skills are really good. He quickly polished the keys. I compared them with the keys on the photo on my phone and they were exactly the same.

When I walked out of the lock store, it was almost nine o'clock. Fang Shaoqi once talked to me that the closing time of their teaching building was ten o'clock in the evening. I no longer hesitated and reached out to take a taxi and headed straight to Ocean University!
