The Secret History of Mars

At eight o'clock in the morning, Du Ming was waiting downstairs in the laboratory on time. Feng Shuhai escorted Yuan Yizhou out of the laboratory and handed him a dense bag. Yuan Yizhou looked at it and saw that it was Qie Luotang's water blade.

"Just in case, bring it with you." Feng Shuhai warned.

Yuan Yizhou nodded and said goodbye to Feng Shuhai.

Du Ming sent Yuan Yizhou back to his private apartment in the city center. Yuan Yizhou told Du Ming, "You can go back to the company directly. I won't be going out today. By the way, tell Xiao Ai that all the schedules for this week are cancelled."

"Then what time should I pick you up tomorrow?" Du Ming asked.

"I'm going to No. 1 Dayun South Road, Jiexiong North Street again tomorrow. This time I have to be there very punctually at 10:30 in the morning. You calculate the time and based on your experience on the road conditions, just drop me off at 10 o'clock. ." Yuan Yizhou trusted Du Ming's professionalism very much and let him decide when to pick him up.

"Okay, no problem. Mr. Yuan, you will be ready to leave at nine o'clock in the apartment tomorrow morning. I will be downstairs at nine o'clock on time." Du Ming said confidently.

After Du Ming drove away, Yuan Yizhou entered the password for the apartment door, entered the lobby, and walked towards the elevator. Before he had taken a few steps, he heard someone shouting: "Mr. Yuan, please stay!"

He looked back and saw that it was Xiao Li from the property management department. "What's the matter?" Yuan Yizhou asked.

"Good morning, Mr. Yuan, there is a package just delivered to you. It is express delivery. I wonder if you can sign for it now." Xiao Li said as he moved a package out from under the front desk in the lobby of the apartment. , it doesn’t look heavy, but its size is not small.

Yuan Yizhou took a look at the express delivery note on the package. The recipient was indeed him, and the sender column was blank! After he signed Xiao Li's receipt record, he carried the package into the elevator.

This is a villa area located in the bustling city center. It is quiet in the bustle. Yuan Yizhou's apartment is a duplex inside the community. Enter the apartment by elevator, close the door and you will be in seclusion. When you go downstairs, you will be in the world of mortals. It was also the wedding room that he and Cui Xingmeng had just prepared, so the decoration of the room was very novel and unique, full of the elegant taste and sentiment of the future host and hostess.

After Yuan Yizhou entered the door, he put the express package in the entrance hall, took off his suit jacket, and put on his slippers. Then he found a pair of scissors and started to open the express delivery without a sender. After taking off the outer layer of the express delivery package, there was a black dress box inside. As Yuan Yizhou expected, it was carefully wrapped in soft lining paper and was a silver-white suit customized for him by Ye Qinghe at Luotang Qingyi Pavilion.

Yuan Yizhou took out his clothes and put them on the sofa, then went to the bathroom to take a shower. He needed to catch up on his sleep to prepare for tomorrow's unpredictable appointment at the Mengmeng Gallery.

In the 72 hours since Cui Xingmeng disappeared, Yuan Yizhou had not slept a wink. In addition, he had worked all night long last night, so he slept very deeply. When he woke up, it was already sunset. After waking up, his brain was unusually alert. It seemed that all the clues that he couldn't sort out before going to bed were processed in the background of his deep sleep.

He suddenly realized that he had ignored a person. This person was at the scene when Xingmeng disappeared. This person also had the key to the Miemeng Gallery. This person also helped Lin Die successfully complete the task of inviting him to the Miemeng Gallery. He It’s my childhood friend, Jia Liang, the producer of the TV station’s baby-making program!

"Maybe he is too familiar with the other party, so he turns a blind eye to it." Yuan Yizhou thought in annoyance and dialed Jia Liang's number.

"Hey, Yizhou, what's going on?" That familiar voice sounded a little strange at the moment.

"What do you know about Xing Meng's disappearance?" Yuan Yizhou went straight to the point.

There was silence on the other end of the phone. After a long time, Jia Liang said, "Have you had dinner? I came to see you at the barbecue restaurant near your home. We haven't had a drink for a long time."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the barbecue restaurant." Yuan Yizhou simply agreed.

After hanging up the phone with Jia Liang, Yuan Yizhou made a greeting call to his mother. At the end of the phone call, he said to his mother: "Mom, I may have to go on a long business trip, and I won't be able to call you recently. Please take care of yourself." . If you want to take a stroll, come to my place and take a look. The envelope in the first drawer on the left side of the TV cabinet in my living room is for your emergency use. "

After chatting with his mother, Yuan Yizhou put all his bank cards and password letters into an envelope with "Mother Yuan Qi" written on the cover. After sealing it, he put it in the drawer as promised with his mother. If something unexpected happened to me and Xingmeng, this would be enough for the mother who had worked hard for half her life to live a stable life in her old age.

After the arrangements were made, Yuan Yizhou put on his coat and walked downstairs for a short time before arriving at the barbecue restaurant Jia Liang mentioned. He ordered barbecue and beer and waited for Jia Liang to appear.

It didn't take long for Jia Liang to arrive. He sat in front of Yuan Yizhou and looked at each other. It was obvious that Yuan Yizhou had no intention of speaking first.

"I do know some things related to Xingmeng's disappearance." Jia Liang finally spoke first, "But you will naturally know these things when you get to Mie Meng Gallery, so I didn't tell you, for fear of adding to your troubles."

"Tell me what's going on." Yuan Yizhou tried his best to control his emotions and keep the conversation on key points.

"I am Ye Qinghe's experimental seed recruiter." Seeing that there was no need to hide anything anymore, Jia Liang told the truth. "She is mainly responsible for helping her recruit outstanding seed players for the Earth Experiment. Cui Xingmeng is the number one seed who meets the conditions in all aspects."

"Are you not from Earth?" Faced with Fa Xiao, whom he grew up with, Yuan Yizhou struggled in his heart for a long time before finally asking this question.

"Yes, it doesn't count." Jia Liang said noncommittally, "It depends on your definition of earthlings."

"What is the definition of Earthlings?" Yuan Yizhou imagined Jia Liang's countless answers to his questions, but never thought he would say this.

"I am actually an Earthling, because my entire physiological structure has evolved over several generations and I no longer need Luo Tang's help. I can fully adapt to the Earth's environment. I am no different from the Earthlings you call." Jia Liang continued Said, "The only difference is that I am no longer limited by time coordinates."

"Restrictions on time coordinates? What do you mean, you can travel back and forth?" Yuan Yizhou tried to understand Jia Liang's words.

"It can be said that if people on earth can only travel in three-dimensional space, then the civilization of my home planet is no longer limited by the time dimension and can travel in four dimensions." Jia Liang tried to explain to him using Yuan Yizhou's words.

"The civilization of your home planet? So you are from Mars?" Yuan Yizhou asked tentatively.

"It seems that you gained a lot in the identification laboratory last night. A piece of leftover material from Luo Tang actually allowed you to find so much information." Jia Liang said with approval, "It is indeed the seed catalyst I recommended! Yes, my wisdom Both the body and the soul are from Martian civilization, but they all need carriers and containers, which is my body as an earthling." Jia Liang finally found a more precise way of expression to answer the question of whether he is an earthling.

"I am the seed catalyst you recommended?" Yuan Yizhou wouldn't find it strange what Jia Liang said at this moment, but the combination of these words made it difficult for him to connect with himself.

"Yes, Xingmeng is the No. 1 seed of the Shiyi Period Earth Experiment approved by the Elders Council. Her lover, you, is the catalyst of this seed. Without you, they can't do anything to Xingmeng." Jia Liang Explained, "So they asked Lin Die to come forward and invite you to Miemeng Gallery."

"Lin Die is also a Martian like you?" Yuan Yizhou could only find the part he could understand from Jia Liang's words and asked.

"No, no, she is a native of the earth just like you. I hope she is an immigrant from Mars, so that I will have more opportunities." Jia Liang said sincerely and helplessly, "She is the No. 1 backup seed who volunteered to participate in the earth experiment. .”

"What are the earth experiments and seeds you keep mentioning?" Yuan Yizhou tried to control the conversation to something he could digest, "Where has Xingmeng been taken by you now?"

"I'm just a recruiter. The confidentiality level of these questions is not something I can know. You may have to ask Ye Qinghe in person." Jia Liang spread his hands and shrugged.

It's Ye Qinghe again. It seems that we really have to meet this person tomorrow. No, it's the Martian manipulating the so-called earth experiment behind the scenes!
