Chapter 3 Introduction one

"Ladies and gentlemen, the package of time, which has been sealed for a hundred years, will finally be opened today." The mayor of the small town of Otto announced on the podium: "The curator of the museum, Tovog, and the deputy curator, Ms. Water, are invited to present the package." The town of Otto is located in central Norway, 290 kilometers north of the capital Oslo.This little-known little place is unremarkable anywhere in Europe, but something big has happened recently. A month ago, the incumbent mayor mysteriously received something from the city government under the protection of special bodyguards. Then, in an even more mysterious move, he sneakily met with the two directors of the Otto Museum and told them Stuff is preserved in thick art vaults.

Afterwards, the mayor's behavior became meaningful.He invited the world's famous and rich to come to town on August 26, 2012, and most of the Norwegian media scoffed at it. The town of Otto cannot even be seen with a microscope on the world map, and even the locals in Norway are not very aware of its remote location. How could world celebrities come here? But the development of the situation was beyond everyone's expectation. The celebrities and rich people who were invited agreed to it unanimously. Some media found the invitation card issued by the mayor. There were only four words on it: "A Hundred Years' Agreement". It is strange that Yang Junfei was also included in the invitation.However, the inviter was not the mayor of Otto Town, but an old customer who had close business dealings with him, a leader in the financial investment industry, Mr. Johnson.The world-famous rich man raised the invitation card in his hand, and said that it was interesting.

Yang Junfei didn't understand whether the so-called "interesting" in his mouth was a compliment or a derogation. "Mr. Yang, do you know about the Battle of Klinger?" Johnson asked Yang Junfei, who was sitting across from him, who was drinking red wine not very elegantly. "Of course, on August 26, 1612, while the Kalmar War was going on between Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, the Norwegian peasants around the town of Otto formed a spontaneous militia and defeated the Scottish servants representing Sweden. Bing, the battle is known as the Battle of Klinger in history. Every year on August 26th, Otto town will hold a celebration."

Yang Junfei shook the cup, and the psychedelic red liquid swayed slightly. "Haha, you still know so much about history." Johnson glanced at him and joked, "So is red wine." Yang Junfei's old face was a little red, damn it, the good red wine hidden in the headquarters of the detective agency has been ruined since Ye Silent came.It was fine for him to drink red wine, and in the end even Li Nuoyi and the eldest sister Li Mengyue started to drink it, which made it difficult for him to take a sip.Now there is free expensive red wine to drink, and I don't have to pour it down my stomach.

Johnson threw the invitation to him, and Yang Junfei played with it in his hand. This invitation was actually very ordinary, even a little rude.Generally, when inviting the world's rich or famous, the invitations should at least be gilded, but Otto Town's financial resources are obviously not enough. However, the "Hundred Years' Covenant" on the invitation card was written in ancient Norwegian and English at the same time, which was very bold and extraordinary, and it was obviously carefully designed. "A century-old contract, hehe, it's really interesting."

Johnson laughed dumbfounded again, not knowing what funny thing he thought of. "It is said that on August 26, 1912, the 300th anniversary of the Battle of Klinger, John Rogold, then mayor of Seland, the city where Otto was located, sealed a package , and wrote on it 'it can only be opened in 2012', and then handed over the package to the city council for custody, and kept it until today." Yang Junfei thought for a while, and said, "Could it be that the so-called century-old agreement this time is to open the century-old package under the attention of the world, and promote your own town by the way?"

"In theory, it does." Johnson nodded, "Some people speculate that the package may contain historically significant archive documents, or it may be the 'Star of the Sea' diamond that sank in 1912 on the Titanic. Of course, the local town hall hopes to It contained a large bundle of oil stocks." "But this time the bosses all agreed to go to that little-known town, obviously not because of the Ocean Star Diamond, or a little bit of oil stocks. These are of no significance to you at all." Yang Junfei smiled and asked Mimi: "I'm afraid there are some things in the package, Mr. Johnson that you need, right?"

"Yes, August 1, 1912 is a very interesting time period. It is said that something that the whole world wanted disappeared that year, and there are rumors that it was packed into that package." Johnson said lightly. "what?" Yang Junfei became slightly interested. "I don't know what it is, anyway, that thing is very important, I must get it." Johnson blinked, "That's why I came to find Mr. Yang." "Hey, it's my pleasure." Yang Junfei sipped his red wine, his expression became serious. Everyone wants to get it, but everyone doesn't know what it is... No matter how I hear it, I feel that there is a dangerous undercurrent surging!

"Mr. Yang, the rich and powerful in Europe and the United States are actually the same. Most of them have been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years. The current electronic upstarts and the so-called richest man in the world, in our opinion, are actually ridiculously naive." Johnson sighed, "It is said that we pursue power and wealth, but these are just hats put on our heads by outsiders. In fact, most old men and I hope to pursue eternal life." "eternal life?" Yang Junfei's heart trembled. "Yes, eternal life." There was fanaticism in Johnson's eyes, "In the true sense, we will live forever and never die."

"You mean, there is something like this in that century-old package?" Yang Junfei suddenly thought of that immortal guy Lu Ping, as well as the supernatural ability brought by Mr. Chen's bones, and his ominous premonition grew stronger. The so-called supernatural will actually pay a price.What is the price of Lu Ping's immortality, he does not know, but it is definitely not easy. "Actually, I don't even know whether eternal life exists or not." Johnson's frenzied gaze dimmed, "However, more than a hundred years ago, the family mentioned that there might be a secret of eternal life in the package sealed in Norway, and told them that after a hundred years, the deadline for opening it has come, and they must be obtained by any means."

"Mr. Johnson, I don't quite understand. Why do we have to wait a hundred years? With the power of your family, it is completely easy to get an unimportant package from a small municipal government in Norway." Yang Junfei asked. "The ancestors naturally have their reasons, although I don't know." Johnson laughed and said, "However, many times it has been proved that the words of our ancestors are all correct. Isn't there an old saying in your China, 'If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer in front of you'?" "I almost forgot that you are also a China hand." Yang Junfei scratched his head, "When are we going to leave?" "tomorrow." Johnson said.You get ready, the last week, I think the town of Otto will be very lively. On August 16, Yang Junfei took Johnson's special plane to Oslo, the capital of Norway, and then entered the town of Otto in a luxurious and long Hummer.After ten days of preparation and arrangement, on the morning of August 26, the opening ceremony of the century-old package officially began. Yang Junfei sat next to Johnson, yawning again and again.Before opening the package, the Norwegian danced for 90 minutes, which whetted everyone's appetite. "The existence of this package is known to many people. It has been exhibited in a local museum in recent years. It was lost during the renovation of the city hall in the 1950s, but it was later found among the abandoned items." After the song and dance performance, the mayor continued to whet the appetite of the guests. The main event finally came, Yang Junfei propped up his drowsy head and concentrated his attention a little.The curator of the museum, Tovarg, and the deputy curator, Walter, wore white gloves, solemnly took the package out of the vault and placed it on the table of the podium. All the eyes of the whole world are focused on it at this moment. I saw that the package was only about nine centimeters thick, with a slightly yellow surface, full of the atmosphere of the times and the old sense of history. On the cover, there were instructions at that time written in blood-like scrawled handwriting-"Only in August 2012 opened on the 26th of September" "it is a full three and a half inches thick and weighs 317.5 grams, enough to hold a large bundle of oil stocks." the mayor joked. Johnson tilted his head and laughed softly, "What do you think will be inside?" "Not Ocean Star anyway, and certainly no oil stocks." Yang Junfei complained. "Yes, I think so too." Johnson laughed again, "There are so many old acquaintances today, I'm getting used to it. Look at the old man over there, he still looks like he's dying, I really want to beat him to death with the crutch in my hand! But If he really dies, the global economy will definitely collapse in an instant!" "It's more than that. If a bomb is detonated in this square, the whole world will be plunged into war and financial crisis immediately. The entire human society will go back at least a hundred years." Yang Junfei was speechless. Perhaps all the media present and even the inviter didn't know how many bigwigs were secretly present today. On the surface, there are some small stars and financial upstarts floating in conspicuous positions as representatives of the bigwigs, but secretly, the red tide is surging, because of something in the package that no one knows whether it exists or not. "Just wait and see the good show." Johnson's eyes were entangled with another little old man, and they separated after glaring at each other, "Damn, how long is the little guy on the stage going to give a speech?" The mayor on the stage was still eloquent, and had no intention of unpacking, "Everyone come and guess what's in the package, and there will be prizes for those who guess." "Your head is rewarded, Otto Town is on the verge of bankruptcy, and the current city government is counting on something valuable to save the economy." Johnson complained, "They concentrated all their financial resources to come up with such a high-profile press conference. It's completely desperate. I'll just wait and see them collapse!" Museum curator Tovog said with a smile: "Yesterday I joked with my colleagues that there might be something hidden in the package, but there are many ideas. The way the package was left to us meant that the mayor of the year, John Rogue Mr. De believes that the items in the collection have great value for future generations. I am very excited, this is a once in a lifetime thing." "What's even more exciting is that the package hasn't been tampered with in a hundred years." Ms. Water, the deputy curator, answered, "So, ladies and gentlemen, we are ready to open." Wearing white gloves, the two carefully opened the cover and seal, revealing the contents inside. It was obviously a smaller package. The mayor said with a smile: "Mr. Mayor a hundred years ago was really wicked, he liked to whet people's appetite." Yang Junfei complained silently in his heart, it seems that the habit of whetting the appetite has been passed down in Otto Town. The second package was also opened, finally revealing the real thing.Everyone involuntarily stood up from their seats. Yang Junfei and Qiang Sen stretched out their heads very long, wishing to move their eyes closer to see clearly. "The ancestors said that the thing that might be sealed in the package is unclear, but you can recognize it just by looking at it." Johnson said softly: "Mr. Yang, what did you see?" Yang Junfei swallowed nervously, at this moment, he was completely stunned!
