Xia Lei found hi was settled
Qian Jun was also on the stern deck, peering ahead into the direction of Israel He had suffered for years on that piece of land Now, he had finally gained his freedo he felt deeply at the moment was only reserved for himself
Xia Lei walked over and joined hi into the direction of Israel All Xia Lei could think of was the pyras that surrounded it
The twothe past quietly
Until Xia Lei disrupted the quietness “That child… He was holding a toy phone, it wasn’t real”
Qian Jun replied, “Yeah, I know After I shot him, your expression fell That hen I knew I killed someone by mistake”
Xia Lei offered Qian Jun a s to reprimand you but I hoped you would consider the situation before acting”
Qian Jun nodded
“Alright, let’s talk about us” Xia Lei cleared his throat “You pro if we leave Gaza alive”
Qian Jun shi+fted his gaze away from faraway and plopped himself onto the floor of the deck
Xia Lei was a little surprised but joined hi about it was difficult Qian Jun inhaled deeply, reorganized his thoughts and continued, “The last time I stopped at my encounter with your father Let’s continue fro the tattooed iven me a mission He wanted me to head to Jerusalem, learn Hebrew and familiarize myself with the environment It eird at the time but I had no reason to question it So that’s how I came to Jerusalem I’ve stepped foot on every street and visited every ancient ruin site One year later,able to carry a decent conversation with the Jews It was then that your father gave me another mission…”
“Your father presented to uised y Department of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem I killed the student and replaced him I went to school but not to study Your father had intended et close to Professor Mark…”
Professor Mark… Xia Lei ree supplied by the late archaeologist, George, Mark’s life had ended with a headshot given by Qian Jun himself
Xia Lei interjected him “My father had you pretend to be one of his students but you’ve never studied this field before Hoere you able to trick a professor?”
Qian Jun answered, “I wore spy bugs to get all the information I needed When Professor Mark asked me questions in class, your father would have so This hy I was able to perform like a stellar student and earn Professor Mark’s fondness Two months later, I joined one of Professor Mark’s research projects…”
“He was in need of assistants andacademic results and unique opinions hat he needed I became his assistant and earned permission to enter his office”
Xia Lei was impatient at this point “Was the pyramid part of his research project?”
There was a beat of silence before Qian Jun replied, “That isn’t a pyramid It just so happened to look like one”
Xia Lei was surprised “Then what is it?”
“No one knohat its real name is but Professor Mark had referred to it as the Grave of Proence in Greek ht hu techniques What was it based on for Professor Mark to regard it as the Grave of Prometheus?
Xia Lei couldn’t help but occupy his hts
Qian Jun did not let the silence drag on “But that naiven only towards the end of the research When I joined the a number of clues from a pile of ancient historical scrolls”
“What was he looking for?”
“Clues regarding the tooing foron it in his youth At that time, he wasn’t even a professor yet He had collected and studied the information alone Most of his incos only took a better turn after he became a professor at Hebrew University Honestly, I was recruited at the last phases of the project From what I’ve read from his collection of ancient scrolls and clues, the most important clue of all was… the crystal skull”
Xia Lei’s heart thundered, its treainst his ribs
