Chapter 42 Chapter 41 Warning

Kuhn stared intently at the moldy curtain, forgetting the existence of Yang Ning and me. The three of us watched the contents of the film in advance.At the beginning, a black and white stone statue appeared on the curtain, and the appearance of the stone statue was similar to that of a nude woman.That's about the same, because the stone statue is facing away from us, so we can't see its front.However, I can tell from the back that it is a stone statue of a nude woman. This is not bragging, but a deep fear that you will never forget after being projected in your mind. The back of the stone statue is not very clear, and it is impossible to know where the stone statue is. In addition, there may be some problems with the projector, and there are always snowflakes beating on the curtain. That's all for 5 seconds. Except for the stone statue, there is no one and nothing that can be seen clearly.I was full of expectations at first, but I was very disappointed after reading it. What kind of secret is this, and the Soviets are too good at playing tricks.Yang Ning was also very puzzled. She looked at me and found that I was disappointed, so she smiled at me.

Kuhn finished rewinding the film, then started it again without stopping.I don't understand German, so I couldn't communicate with Kuhn. Seeing that he refused to speak, I watched boring film content with him.The film kept repeating. After watching too much, I became irritable. Even Yang Ning didn't want to watch it anymore.After replaying it about dozens of times, I couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to find Hu Liang back, otherwise I wouldn't know how to persuade Kuhn to stay rational. However, I still didn't leave immediately. I always felt that if I left, Kuhn would think that we had all abandoned him.I bite the bullet and look at the curtain, wondering who shot the film and why.No matter how stupid the Soviets are, they will not regard the content of 5 seconds as a treasure.Perhaps, there is something I overlooked in these 5 seconds.I convinced myself, and carefully looked for the answer from these 5 seconds.As a result, I still can't find out what's wrong with my blind eyes. Maybe the picture is too blurry, so it's hard to find the answer.

"By the way!" I suddenly remembered and asked, "Yang Ning, do you understand Russian?" "I know a little, but not a lot." Yang Ning straightened up and answered me. "I found Zhao Fei's plane in the Snow Valley that night. A cigar tin box fell from it, and there were several pieces of paper written in Russian." I walked away from the projector and went to look through everyone with Yang Ning. Back bag. At that time, I planned to give the tin box of cigars to Han Xiaoqiang and ask her to translate the Russian language inside.If Kuhn can communicate with Govorov, he must also understand Russian, but I am afraid that it is Govorov's suicide note, and Kuhn will be more irritated after reading it, so let Yang Ning check it first.Later, I thought about it carefully, the cigar tin box fell from the wreckage of the plane, and Govorov had already parachuted, so how could he have time to write a suicide note on it.Therefore, the paper in the iron box is definitely not a suicide note, but other important information.

Yang Ning unfolded the flimsy pieces of paper, glanced at Kuhn, and found that the other party was watching the film with rapt attention, so she helped me translate the content on the paper with confidence. According to those pages of densely packed paper records, the film was shot by an Englishman named Tom 20 years ago. At that time, Tom wanted to climb Mount Everest, but failed to reach the summit.During that period of history, there were indeed many foreigners scrambling to conquer Mount Everest, and the British had the largest proportion.The film was shot to record Tom's successful ascent to the summit, but when he encountered a blizzard, he hid in a cave and saw a stone statue of a naked woman.

Due to the quality of the shooting equipment, the pictures taken were not very good. After Tom brought the film back to the UK, there were only 5 seconds left on the film and he could barely watch it.After Tom discovers the ancient ruins in the Himalayas, he wants to sell the film to rich people, and then take everyone to China to hunt for treasure.Unexpectedly, Tom died violently the day before the film was sold.The seller was very superstitious and thought that the film was unlucky, so he didn't buy it. Tom seemed to have a premonition before he died, and he left a warning that night that no one should see the film without his permission.After several years of transfer, the film went to the newly established Soviet Union and was acquired by a scientific research institute, where Govorov worked.After the film was bought, the Soviets studied it for a period of time, but due to their relationship with China, they did not rush in to hunt for treasure.

Until one night in 1934, Govorov dug out the dusty film, put it out and watched it again.However, as soon as the film was released, Zhao Fei called the research institute and asked Govorov to go home.All the staff were back at the institute that night for a weapons research project, and Govorov was too hasty to put away the projector by then. Zhao Fei was anxious to bring Govorov home because a German friend of theirs sneaked into the Soviet Union that night and wanted to get their political protection.That German friend was Kuhn, because Kuhn opposed the German authorities, and after being persecuted, he came to the Soviet Union to find Govorov.How these two people from different countries became friends was not written on the paper, it was only written that Govorov would return to the Institute after he had settled in Kuhn.

The entrance and exit of the institute were very strict. When Govorov opened the institute with a key that night, all the staff inside were mutilated. The scene was bloody and terrifying like hell.Except for Govorov, all the dead colleagues, no one has a key to open the door.Govorov remembered the warning on the film, and something must have happened on the film after he left, killing his colleague. At that time, human rights were not as popular as they are now, and Govorov couldn't explain what happened.He knew that he would be judged by the authorities as a minion of hostile forces, so it would be useless to explain it. Besides, a German friend happened to come to him that night. From the appearance, he was the only suspect in the murder.Govorov was well aware of the political situation at that time, so he took the projector and film reels, took Kuhn and Zhao Fei, and escaped from the Soviet Union on a private plane that night while the matter of the institute was not discovered.At this point, the content on the paper is over.Judging from the scribbled handwriting, Govorov should have written it on the plane, so he didn't mention the subsequent crash. Maybe the people in the company didn't know where he put the few pieces of paper.

After listening to Yang Ning's translation, I thought that these papers were a confession, not a suicide note. Govorov knew that at that time he could not appeal for grievances, but he hoped that the truth would be announced after many years. "Liu Anjing, do you think Govorov is telling the truth?" Yang Ning folded the paper and asked me seriously. I looked into Yang Ning's eyes, thought for a while, and said, "I believe that Govorov, the confession he wrote at a time of crisis, cannot possibly lie." "How do you explain the film?" Yang Ning became serious, "I also believe that the Soviet research institute has done a good job of security measures, and those engaged in weapons research pay great attention to the inspection of access. If Govorov didn't kill people, could it be Is the film really killing people?"

"Of course film can't kill people! Foreigners take it as fart, they like to play curse tricks!" I disagree, "I guess Tom fell to his death, and his family made up a lie to deceive the world in order to sell the film at a good price." That's all. You and I are communist fighters, how can you believe that kind of nonsense!" Yang Ning gradually became sober, and when she heard me mentioning "communism", she laughed and said, "You have the nerve to say that when we were studying communism, you didn't come here a few times, do you know what communism is? "

"You've finally recovered!" I said happily, this girl is no longer as submissive as before, and has returned to her former cheerfulness. "I just feel a headache, I feel like I have been here, but I can't remember it." Yang Ning said normally, "Reading these Russian words just now reminded me of the war with my comrades in the Northeast before I entered the Air Force Aviation School. My mind is finally not so muddled. Thinking about it now, how could there be a masked person here, I am really confused, thank you for not treating me as a lunatic." I smiled back: "Thank God if I can find you, for those three months, I thought you..."

Having said that, I stopped talking.If there is no masked person, then why did Yang Ning go for the past three months? Could it be that he has been wandering around the snow-capped mountains?How did Yang Ning get the map in his hand?From the analysis of the set of numbers she read out, it must be someone calling for help on the Himalayas, and the way of calling for help is the self-use grid coordinate map in the pilot of the hump route.Han Xiaoqiang's friend Dai Feilong once drove the plane back from the United States, and the only C-54 long-range transport plane with him crashed in the Himalayas.Because it is related to the morale of the front line of the battlefield, the crash of the C-54 driving towards China has not been made public.It is impossible for Yang Ning to be so coincidental. When he went crazy, he made up the wreckage of a C-54 on the snowy mountain, and he could even make up a map with stone statues of naked women. "You still think I'm crazy, don't you?" Seeing me lost in thought, Yang Ning asked directly. "No, no, how could I doubt my comrades!" I smiled awkwardly. "Forget it, I don't care about you." Yang Ning got serious, "You can show these stacks of paper to Kuhn. This is a letter left by his friend. He persuaded him to read it." I took the paper hesitantly, and said anxiously: "Is this appropriate? Are you afraid that he will go crazy even more?" Yang Ning frowned at me and said, "Think about it, Kuhn must have been confused for the past 9 years and didn't know what happened. He wanted to find Govorov and the safe so much. I know what happened 9 years ago. Maybe Kuhn thought it was his identity as a German, causing his friend to be persecuted by the Soviet government, and he feels guilty until now. It is impossible for us to go to the Soviet Union again. If there is a chance, we can let It would be nice if Kuhn helped rehabilitate Govorov." "Okay, it's all up to you." I smiled wryly, thinking that Yang Ning was comparing his heart to his heart, and he was so considerate of Kuhn after he went crazy. Yang Ning was already able to walk on her own. She pushed me and told me to pass the note to Kuhn, so that Kuhn would stop looking at the film stupidly.We walked over one after the other, and wanted to ask Kuhn to read the note, but found that the 5-second film projection on the screen was different from before! Yang Ning even exclaimed: "God, how is this possible?"
