Chapter 104 I have no choice at all!
"Whatever the professor said, can I still not believe you, old man?" Chen Ziyan said with a solemn look on his face after hearing this.
It was as if the person he was slandering in his heart just now was not him.
Ignoring the strange look Shirley Yang cast, Chen Ziyan looked at Professor Chen with bright eyes, waiting for his next words.
Based on this tone, I’m afraid it’s really in stock!
"That's good." Professor Chen nodded with satisfaction, and then asked a question: "Comrade Xiao Chen, do you still remember the question you asked me yesterday?"
Question?
Chen Ziyan was stunned at first, but then he suddenly understood what Professor Chen was talking about.
He nodded: "Remember."
Professor Chen stared into his eyes and said seriously: "Now I will answer your question again and ask why I chose Three young students accompanied me, but the real answer is... I have no choice at all."
"Teacher, how is this possible?"
Hearing Professor Chen tell the real reason, Hao Aiguo couldn't help but exclaimed before Chen Ziyan said anything.
Actually, when he learned about the staffing, he also had doubts in his heart, but he just thought it was because of the teacher's consideration, so he didn't think too much about it.
He was really shocked when he suddenly got such an answer!
You must know that even in such a large liberal arts college, his teacher Professor Chen plays a very important role, so it is difficult for him to understand why this happened.
"Haha." Facing the students' disbelieving looks, Professor Chen smiled bitterly and said in a sad tone: "I didn't think it would be possible before, but it is the truth."
Afterwards, Professor Chen told everyone that, in fact, In the list he initially drew up, there was no student at all, they were all experts and scholars with profound exploration experience.
But things started to get weird from here.
As long as someone is invited by Professor Chen, there will always be unexpected changes that prevent him from participating in his inspection.
Faced with such a strange situation, Professor Chen could only lower his standards again and again after searching to no avail.
Seeing that the departure date was approaching, Professor Chen, who had not been able to find a suitable team member, simply invited all his students to try his luck there.
After all, even if they are not as good as those scholars who have been immersed for many years, the professional quality of these students is better than ordinary people, and they can be regarded as generals among short people.
Finally, these three students joined.
This is why the archaeological team is about to set off, but the three students are far away in Xi'an.
"This...Professor, didn't you think of giving up at that time?" This was Chen Ziyan's first thought after listening to Professor Chen's story.
This is simply too weird, as if there is an invisible hand controlling everything.
"I have thought about it." Professor Chen nodded first, and then said: "But I dare not, and I don't want to."
He looked at Chen Ziyan and said full of longing and hope: " This is the closest I have been to the culture of the ancient Western Regions. I can feel that I can lift off the mysterious veil as long as I stretch out my hand. I am afraid that if I miss this opportunity, I will never have the opportunity to realize this lifelong ambition! "
Then, he looked at Shirley Yang kindly and continued: "What's more, I can't let Shirley enter the boundless sea of death alone, so this trip will be difficult no matter what. He has to leave.”
He can indeed give up his ideals, but can Shirley Yang give up? As a close friend of Shirley Yang's father, he knew about the strange genetic disease in his family and knew why the father and daughter embarked on this unknown road one after another.
Now, Shirley Yang's father has disappeared, probably died in some unknown corner.
Then how could he just sit back and do nothing?
Not only for his own dream, but also for the wish of his best friend, he must enter this vast sea of sand!
"Uncle Chen..." Shirley Yang finally learned the inside story at this time and decided to persuade Professor Chen to turn around.
She had already caused her father to disappear, and she didn't want the elder who cared about her to suffer misfortune again.
“No need to say more.” Professor Chen seemed to see what Shirley Yang wanted to say, and interrupted her: “I also have my own selfish motives in it. I have to rely on Shirley to drag me back."
Professor Chen stopped looking at Shirley Yang and returned his gaze to Chen Ziyan, saying: "That's the way it is, I originally wanted to come back. Recruiting some independent people to fill the team, but I didn’t expect that Comrade Xiao Chen would take over this matter.”
At this point, a narrow smile flashed in Professor Chen’s eyes.
Originally, he was a little worried, always feeling that something might go wrong, but he didn't expect that Chen Ziyan jumped out at this time and took the whole problem directly on himself.
How should I put it? Professor Chen said that he slept soundly last night.
After hearing Professor Chen explain the ins and outs of this matter, Chen Ziyan pursed his lips and his mouth felt dry for a moment.
Ganniang!
What the hell is this!
Chen Ziyan didn't have any suspicions about the hidden secret, but he really didn't expect it to be so outrageous.
Sure enough, the rewards from the Gou system are not that easy to get!
This kind of thing has already happened before we even enter the desert. So when the adventure really starts, there’s no telling what trouble will happen!
If Chen Ziyan was just a little skeptical before, now he is basically certain that there must be something wrong with the three students Professor Chen finally selected.
After thinking about it, Chen Ziyan asked: "Professor, how about just a few of us going to the desert and forget about the students."
He felt that as long as the main members are gathered together to go to the desert, There should be no accidents.
Since you knew there were problems with those students, why did you take them with you?
Maybe this can save them from script-killing.
But Professor Chen shook his head and refused: "This is not possible. Proper and detailed excavation requires sufficient common sense and physical strength. If there are only two of us, Aiguo and I, it will greatly slow down the team. This is why I decided to take them with me.”
Chen Ziyan immediately understood that this meant that there must be tools to do the work.
He can understand that, unlike their slightly violent methods, academic parties like Professor Chen are very careful when excavating ancient ruins, for fear of damaging anything.
Since the idea was rejected, Chen Ziyan turned his attention to the three students he was about to meet: "Professor, do you know the situation of these three students? Do you have any special background?"
Chen Ziyan felt that most of what happened to Professor Chen was led by certain people or forces. Anyway, he did not believe that there would be so many coincidences.
There are not so many coincidences in the world, I am afraid they are inevitable results.
