Chapter 5 Chapter 4 Where is our soul?

Hearing what I said, Qiao Sen couldn't help being stunned, as if he didn't understand what I was talking about.I took off Dante's belt, turned the back of the belt to me, and on the back of his belt, there were many diamonds, and told Joson about it. Qiao Sen listened quietly without expressing any opinion.After I finished speaking, he said "Yes": "It seems that the legend is true. People have long said that Dante's grandmother left Constantinople and took a batch of rare treasures with her. " I said: "Then, in your opinion, the treasure he mentioned to me, is it..."

I wanted to hear Qiao Sen's opinion. Unexpectedly, Qiao Sen, who was talking to me, jumped up suddenly when I asked this question before I finished speaking. In the next minute, Qiao Sen's behavior was so weird that it was extremely strange. Of course, his actions and words are not so grotesque to the point of inconceivable, but just a normal reaction of a person after a rage.But the problem is: he has absolutely no reason to be furious. I didn't say anything, but mentioned the treasure that Dante mentioned, and wanted to hear his opinion. Qiao Sen jumped up from the sofa, first let out a strange cry like a night owl's tail was burned, then clenched his fists with both hands, and waved his right fist, as if he was going to hit me.

This kind of action of his has already startled me a lot. Not only did I take a step back immediately, but I also immediately picked up a sofa cushion, just in case he threw a fist at me, and I could resist it. But he just waved his fist, and his face turned into a terrifying iron-blue color, with blue veins on his forehead, and he shouted hoarsely: "You, what treasure? After all, it's treasure, treasure, money!" He yelled very loudly, and I believe that the Duke of Gendig and the Princess of Thailand, who are in the same building as me, must also be able to hear his strange yelling.

For a moment, I really didn't know what to do, so I could only say: "Calm down, Qiao Sen, calm down." Since I didn't know why he was excited at all, I couldn't persuade him. Qiao Sen continued to rage: "Money, treasures, power, these are our souls? Even you, Wesley, really think so, think our souls , is it a shiny stone?" It's not that he said it so seriously, I really regarded him as crazy.When he said this, a pair of red-threaded eyes opened wide, staring at me, the light from his eyes was full of suspicion, resentment, and injustice. At this time, I really didn't know whether to laugh or get angry, so I also raised my voice: "What the hell are you talking about?"

Qiao Sen stretched out his hand and pointed at my nose: "You, where is your soul?" Suddenly, he changed from being incoherent to asking such a serious and mysterious question.This question, not to mention that I am unprepared, will never be able to answer it, even in the most calm environment, given me enough time, I will still be unable to answer it. So, I had no choice but to stare at him tongue-tied, and Qiao Sen's expression changed abruptly. When he asked that sentence, he was aggressive, but before I answered, he had become extremely sad, and asked with a voice almost crying: "You Where is my soul? Where is my soul? Where is our soul? Wesley, you know everything, please tell me."

At the end of his speech, he clasped his hands tightly, his fingers twisted tightly together, so hard that his knuckles turned white and made a "cracking" sound. Judging from Qiao Sen's situation, he really wanted to get the answer to this question, and it seemed that he wanted to get an answer to this question that people have been thinking about since the beginning of civilization. I can't help sympathizing with him.Emotional instability is very common in ordinary people.But Qiao Sen, this kind of situation should not have happened to him. Since it happened now, there must be an extremely important reason.

I quickly turned around, trying to calm him down first, but he shouted hoarsely again: "You know everything..." I also had to shout so loudly that he could hear me.Moreover, this kind of emotion close to madness is contagious, and I myself feel that it is gradually becoming uncontrollable. I shouted: "I am by no means a person who knows everything, and there is no one in the world who knows everything." Qiao Sen's voice was higher, and he pointed at me again: "You mentioned the treasure just now, I feel like I saw your soul." I couldn't help but laugh: "You are just asking where my soul is, and you said you have seen my soul. Since you have seen it, why do you ask me?"

As soon as I said these two sentences, I regretted them very much, because my two sentences have logic, because, since, why, and so on.At this time, Qiao Sen was half-crazy. What's the use of reasoning with him? Sure enough, as soon as I spoke, he roared: "Your soul is inside those treasures. The so-called treasures hide nothing but human souls, our souls." I turned around quickly, picked up the wine bottle, aimed at the mouth of the bottle, and "Gudu" took a big sip of wine. Alcohol can be exciting at times and calming at other times.I felt the warm current of the wine flowing through my body, and I already felt that from his sudden jump from the sofa, it wasn't all incoherent speech, but had a certain purpose.I don't know whether it's because of his poor expressive ability or my poor comprehension ability, but I can't figure out what he wants to express.

I turned around, and Qiao Sen sat down again, holding his head in his hands, his body trembling slightly, and he seemed to be in great pain. I walked over to him and put my hand on his shoulder, and he immediately put his hand on the back of mine, and I said, "Qiao Sen, I don't know what you want to express, I really don't understand." Qiao Sen stayed for a moment, then raised his head and looked at me with a bitter expression.In less than ten minutes, his expression changed greatly and so many times, it is really indescribable. At this time, he said: "Forget it, I didn't say anything just now. I'm sorry, I was just impulsive."

I frowned: "Qiao Sen, what kind of pressure are you under? Can you tell me?" Qiao Sen turned his head and didn't look at me: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who will put pressure on me?" I was really angry and sneered: "So, who was in your room when I called you?" Qiao Sen suddenly trembled, but he is really an outstanding intelligence officer. The shock was so short, I didn't pay attention to it, and I couldn't see it at all.Then, he made a haha: "Who is in my room? You ghost, how do you know that I have taken in a woman in the room?"

I feel sad for him, he thinks he can trick me by admitting to being romantic, I don't want to ask too much about other people's affairs, if this person deliberately doesn't tell me.But if you want to deceive me with such a clumsy method, it will not work. I immediately sneered: "The conversation between you and that woman is quite outstanding." Then, I learned the words that Qiao Sen didn't say to me on the phone: "Please , don't bother me anymore, I don't, I really don't, I don't know..." I imitated his tone of speech, and I learned it very well.Naturally, it was also because of the familiarity, so he knew what I was talking about as soon as he heard it, and his face turned pale. Qiao Sen let out a roar and glared at me: "I didn't know you had the habit of eavesdropping on people's speech." I pointed at him: "Why is your mind so messed up? How could I overhear your speech? It's because you are too impatient, and you can't wait to talk to another person before you put down the phone receiver." , I just heard those words." Qiao Sen covered his face with his hands and put them down after a while, saying, "Let's stop discussing these things, shall we?" I said in a very sincere voice: "Qiao Sen, we are friends, and I want to help you." Qiao Sen suddenly laughed, full of mockery. I understood that he meant that I was boastful. I said that I would help him, but he believed that no one could help! I know Qiao Sen, and it is extremely difficult to ask him what he doesn't want to say. I can give up the difficult and find the easy, and find another way to understand the truth of the whole fact. So, I spread my hands and said nothing more: "I'm really sorry for delaying your time." Qiao Sen knew that I was mocking him, so he just smiled wryly, and stood up without continuing. Qiao Sen said: "The treasure that Dante mentioned to you may be real. He is the last heir of the Ottoman dynasty, and he may know the location of a secret treasure of his ancestors." He and I were polite: "Thank you for reminding me of this, I will apologize to him when I have the right opportunity." Qiao Sen walked out, and when he reached the door, he said again: "The invitation for Jin Te is ready, I will trouble you again." Thinking of going to see Jin Te, a weirdo, really made me feel uncomfortable, but since it was something I had promised, I couldn't go back on my word. Qiao Sen opened the door and walked out. I saw the security guards in the corridor outside the door, saluting him. After Qiao Sen left, I went through Dante's information again, but found nothing new.Then, I lay down, thinking about the moment when Qiao Sen suddenly lost his composure, recalling every word and sentence that Qiao Sen had said. What he said was incoherent and sounded meaningless.At first glance, it sounds like some moralist is clamoring to revive the morals of the world. He mentioned the human soul, and he also talked about the relationship between the human soul and diamond treasures. He didn't understand what he wanted to express, and he asked, begged, and wanted to know where the human soul was. I thought about it over and over again, and couldn't think of any other possibility besides the conclusion that "this is some inexplicable words spoken by a mentally disturbed person". I sighed, and decided to do some work tomorrow to find out what happened to Qiao Sen. I woke up quite late the next day. When I went downstairs to eat, a female staff member came to me with a very delicate large envelope: "Mr. Wei, this is what Mr. Qiao Sen ordered to hand over to you. It is an invitation to Mr. Gent." I nodded and asked casually, "Where is Mr. Qiao Sen?" The female clerk said, "I didn't see him." When I arrived at the building where Gent lived, the two guards were extremely respectful when they saw me, and made a lot of nonsense conversations, but I ignored them. Si Yan notified Gent as soon as I entered the elevator, so as soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw this mysterious and quiet Mr. Gent standing in front of the door, and made a gesture to me, inviting me to go to the elevator. .I followed him in and handed him the invitation. I wasn't ready to greet Jinte, so I turned around.But unexpectedly, Gent stopped me.The simplest way to call someone to stop is "wait a moment", but he only said one word: "wait." I stood at the elevator door without turning around, waiting for him to speak again.Gent didn't make any more noise. I waited for a while, and the elevator door opened. Since he didn't make a sound, I didn't need to wait any longer, so as soon as the elevator door opened, I took a step forward.At this moment, Jin Te opened his mouth again. This time, he finally said two words: "Please wait." I turned around, looked at him, and paused every word: "If you have something to say to me, I must speak to me in a normal way. I really can't bear the way you speak, and I can't bear it." I can't have a normal conversation with you." Jinte frowned. I asked for the minimum request, but from his expression, it seemed that it was the most difficult thing to do. He was really thinking about it seriously, and after thinking about it for a few minutes, he sighed. "I don't like to talk, it's my habit, because I think the important thing between people is the exchange of ideas." After he said these few words, he paused again, and then said: "Word communication can be falsified, but thought communication cannot." I said: "I agree with your statement, but forgive me for being stupid, I have no way to exchange ideas with you." Gent looked at me for a long time again, with a helpless expression: "Yes, you are very good, but the exchange of ideas is not good." I can admit that I am not outstanding at all, but I really can't bear the expression and tone of his speech, so I sneered: "Please give me an example: Who can communicate with you?" Jin Te looked at me with wide eyes, as if he didn't expect that I would ask him this way. After a while, he shook his head: "No." I refused to let him go: "No one? What does that mean? If there is no one with whom you can exchange ideas, it means that there is no such thing as an exchange of ideas." Gent just smiled lightly when he heard me say this, and didn't argue with me.I also deliberately laughed: "Yes, when Sir Pursoli first introduced me to you, he mentioned your specialty. Perhaps, the exchange of thoughts you refer to is carried out with the soul, haha." I thought I said something humorous that he couldn't refute, but Gent still smiled lightly and didn't want to argue with me at all.I had nothing to do with him, so I had to ask: "You stopped me, what's the matter?" Jinte thought for a while, and then said: "Tell Qiao Sen, I want an invitation card, and I was entrusted by someone. That—the man told me that he had met Qiao Sen before and chose him as the—object, and wanted to—find Search──Oh, forget it, I haven't talked so much for a long time, and my words are a bit inarticulate." Not only did Gent's speech not convey the meaning, but it was intermittent. I had to work very hard to listen to what he said, but after listening, I didn't understand what he said at all. I was still waiting for him to speak, but he waved his hand to show that he had finished. At that time, I really didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, and I thought to myself: What's going on?Are the words of Qiao Sen and Jin Te so strange and incomprehensible? (It was only later that I realized that what Qiao Sen and Gent were talking about was basically the same thing. This thing is really not easy to understand, no wonder I couldn’t understand it at all.) I asked again, "Anything else?" Jin Te thought about it again: "Josen is very troubled..." When he said this, I was shocked. How did Gent know that Qiao Sen was troubled? Qiao Sen's situation in the past two days could not be described as "spiritually disturbed".Also, I'm trying to figure out why he's doing this.So, I hurriedly said, "Do you know why he is like this?" Jin Te frowned: "He is troubled by a question, this question, alas, he can't answer, you can say to him..." When he spoke here, he paused for a moment, and then said again: "You can suggest him to use the 'Tianguo' incident as an answer." As soon as I heard Jin Te say this, the doubts in my heart were really extreme. For a moment, I stared at Gent, unable to speak a word. I'm sure Jonson doesn't know Gent very well.But at this time, according to Gent's words, he knew Qiao Sen very well.He knew that Qiao Sen had been mentally troubled recently, which was not unusual, but it was a bit unbelievable that he knew about the "Heavenly Kingdom". The so-called "Heavenly Kingdom" incident, as I mentioned earlier, was when Qiao Sen was working as a "wreck data collector".After I heard Qiao Sen mention it, I couldn't confirm that there was actually such a Japanese warship at all. Gent saw that I was looking at him without speaking, and made another gesture to indicate that he had nothing to say. I stayed for a moment: "You know Qiao Sen quite well." Jin Te just spread his hands, and I said again: "You even know about the 'Tianguo'?" Gent finally had an answer: "I'm not very detailed, it's... someone told me." I want to ask more questions, but Gent has issued an order to evict the guest: "I'm sorry, I have something else to do, so I can't chat with you." I couldn't help shouting: "It's not chatting! Qiao Sen's spirit is disturbed, extremely disturbed, sometimes suddenly, close to madness, I am his friend, I want to find out the reason." Gent said impatiently, "Ask him." I said angrily, "He won't say it." Jin Te sighed: "He can say it, he must say it. He can't say it, and I can't say it." I really wanted to reach out, grab the clothes on his chest, pull him over, and slap him hard.This guy, he didn't say he didn't know, but that he couldn't. That is to say, he knew the reason for Qiao Sen's mental distress, but he didn't tell me!I snorted, turned around and left.Stuffed, he returned to the hotel and rushed into Qiao Sen's office. Qiao Sen was busy arguing with some people. As soon as I entered, I yelled at those people: "Get out, I have something to talk to Qiao Sen." A person pushed me, and that person staggered and fell three steps from my push. As soon as the rest of the people saw my menacing approach, they couldn't tell where I came from for a moment, so they hurriedly retreated. Qiao Sen didn't take my behavior seriously: "Wei, why are you crazy?" I said coldly: "A person will only do this when he can't bear it." Qiao Sen frowned, and I said again: "I saw Gent, and he said some incoherent words to me again. He said that you are troubled by a question and cannot answer it." Qiao Sen was shocked suddenly, his expression seemed a little lost, and he muttered to himself: "How did he know, how did he know." I came to him: "Not only did he know, but he also told me a way that you can answer this question." Qiao Sen was even more shocked, his eyes were blank: "Can you answer? How to answer? Yes? Where? No answer? How could there be no answer?" I was really dumbfounded.Johnson asks and answers himself, providing what exactly is the problem that bothers him! The question asked him "is there something". But I don't understand what is difficult to answer, if there is, there is no. As I was thinking about it, I couldn't help asking him: "So, is there or is it not?" Johnson looked very bewildered. He looked at me, but he couldn't see me at all, because his mind was deeply troubled by this question.He was still talking to himself: "Even if you ask me like this, you also..." He didn't say it a second time, the door opened suddenly, and a figure who was obviously a tycoon rushed in angrily: "Qiao Sen, what are you doing? This is working time." When this person said this, I knew two things immediately: One was that this person might be Qiao Sen's boss—I confirmed this after a minute. This person is the chairman of the board of directors of the big insurance alliance that Qiao Sen works for, and he is a world-renowned insurance giant.The second thing, I can be sure that this tycoon-type person is going to be in trouble, Qiao Sen will never tolerate anyone talking to him with such an attitude. Sure enough, as soon as the man said that, Qiao Sen's expression returned to normal. He stared at the tycoon coldly, so that the tycoon thought his face was covered with caterpillars.Then, he said, "Yes, you shouldn't talk about personal matters during working hours." The tycoon was still angry: "Of course." I couldn't help laughing "haha", Qiao Sen said at the same time as I laughed, "Then it's not my working time, Mr. Chairman, goodbye." As he said that, he walked out, and I immediately followed, because this was the result I had expected, so Qiao Sen and I walked out almost at the same time.The tycoon froze there, not knowing what to do for a while, when I passed by him, I saw faint beads of sweat coming out of his half-bald head. Walking out of the office, I pushed Qiao Sen: "I'm so sorry, you lost your job because of exhaustion." Qiao Sen said: "Seeing the goddamn work, Wei, you can't stay in this hotel anymore, move out quickly, I will come to you after I go to deal with some things." At this time, Qiao Sen was the Qiao Sen I knew. We laughed together, and the people around us looked at us inexplicably. Qiao Sen said that he would not do it, which was extremely satisfying. He told me to move out, and of course I obeyed. I patted him on the shoulder and said, "If the trouble you are suffering is caused by work... ..." Before I finished speaking, Qiao Sen said, "Absolutely not." I said: "Okay, Gent said, you can use the matter of the 'Kingdom of Heaven' as an answer." Qiao Sen was stunned for a moment, shaking his head: "Is that all right?" I was a little bit ironic: "I don't know what your problem is at all, how do I know if it will work?" Qiao Sen said: "Yes, I will tell you in detail..." After he said this, he shouted to the two staff members standing in front of him: "I have quit, if there is any problem, please go to work The chairman of the board of directors in time will solve it by himself." The two staff members probably wanted to ask him for instructions, so they yelled at him like this, and they were so frightened that they didn't know what to do.He turned his head to me again and said, "Wait for me, and I will tell you everything that happened." As he spoke, he hurried forward and walked out.At this time, there were quite a lot of people coming and going in the corridor. After he walked away, I suddenly remembered something. He told me to move out of this hotel. He will no longer work for this jewelry exhibition. I will stay here , naturally boring.However, after I moved out of this hotel, I didn't even know where I was going to live, so how could he contact me? As soon as I thought of that, I immediately called out, "Joseon, Qiaosen." He was turning down the hallway when I called, and didn't turn around.I rushed forward, but when I turned a corner, I couldn't see Qiao Sen.There are several exits there, and I was looking for someone to ask, and I saw Dante.Osman walked towards him with a proud expression. As soon as he saw me, he was very angry.This is a good opportunity for me to apologize to him.I greeted him with a friendly smile, "Excuse me, have you seen Qiao Sen?" Dante snorted, "No." It seems that he doesn't want to talk to me very much, but I can tell that he actually wants to talk to me.I hurriedly said, "Due to an accident, I will move out of this hotel. Do you have any good hotels to recommend?" I knew luxury was his specialty, so I asked him that.Sure enough, his expression became much better, and he immediately recited the names of a series of first-class hotels, and then affirmed one of them: "I suggest you stay in this one, the manager is my good friend, if he answers that you have no vacant rooms, you Mention my name." I said: "Thank you, if you have something, you can come and find me there." Dante's self-esteem is quite strong, he immediately said: "I will not ask you for anything." But after he said this, he seemed a little regretful, and stopped talking. I smiled, winked at him, and pointed to the belt around his waist: "If you are not afraid that I will take away the jewels you are wearing, You should have the courage to come and see me." Dante had an angry and funny expression: "You..." He didn't know what he wanted to scold me at first, but he was probably afraid of offending me, so he stopped abruptly, and then said: "These are really nothing , according to my grandmother, our family's treasure is the greatest in the world." I said: "I have no doubts about this point. The Ottoman dynasty ruled large areas of Europe and Asia for seven hundred years." Dante became happy, and took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with me: "I will come to you and talk to you in detail." I hurriedly said, "Welcome, welcome. If you see Qiao Sen, please tell him that I'm staying at the hotel you recommended." Dante frowned slightly when he heard me say this: "Wei, let me tell you everything I want to tell you, and I don't want any third party involved." I immediately said, "Of course, I won't spread the word." Dante's expression was very happy, quite different from the hostility just now.I broke up with him, went to Qiao Sen, and asked a few people, but they all said that I hadn't seen him, so I had to give up. Although I failed to tell Qiao Sen where I will move to, I am not worried at all, because I know Qiao Sen's ability. Although New York is big, I firmly believe that even if I hide in a small alley, he can still find me. mine. I went back to the lobby and indicated to the hotel manager that I was moving out.The manager was startled at first, but then he was inexplicably happy. He immediately turned his head and ordered a staff member: "Decided to inform Prince Huxun that we have a first-class suite and ask him to move in." I went back to my room, packed my luggage and left, and moved into the hotel that Dante had recommended. I know there will be a lot to do soon.First, Jonson would tell me why he was bothered.I feel that things are extremely mysterious. Even Qiao Sen, who is as outstanding as he is, can be so abnormal, so we can see that things are not simple. Secondly, Dante will come to me and mention his "treasure", which is at least an interesting thing. After a short rest, I left the hotel and walked around. When I left, I told the hotel that if someone came to see me, please wait a moment. If there is a call, write down the caller's name and contact address. I walked around for about an hour, and then returned to the hotel. When I returned to my room, someone knocked on the door. A waiter held a note on a sterling silver plate: "Sir, your letter." I thought to myself, Qiao Sen is really amazing, he found out where I live right away.But when I looked at the piece of paper, I couldn't help being stunned. The paper was folded into a square and had my English name on it, but there were also a few Chinese characters: Mr. Wesley Qi. This is not a letter from Joson to me, could it be from Dante?I know that Dante knows several languages, but I don't think he can write such correct Chinese characters. I picked up the piece of paper, sent it in a daze for a while, and then gave the tip. I opened the piece of paper, and unexpectedly, it was a text message written in Japanese: "Mr. Wei, Mr. Qiao Sen told me to come to see you first, and when I came, it happened that you were out, and I will come back in an hour. Sincerely, Kiichi Aoki." I was very surprised.Sure enough, Qiao Sen already knew that I was staying in this hotel, but why didn't he come by himself, but sent a Japanese?Who is this Japanese named Guiyi Aoki?Johnson acts a little elusive. About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door, and a short Japanese man stood at the door. He appeared to be nearly sixty years old.His hair was messy, he was rubbing an old hat with his hands, he was wearing an old blue sweater with several holes on his upper body, and his trousers were wrinkled like twists.The most eye-catching thing is that he is barefoot, dragging a pair of slippers converted from old leather shoes. Although the Japanese man's clothes were tattered, he had a dignified bearing; as soon as he saw me, he bowed and saluted: "Mr. Wei? I am Aoki Guiyi." I also hurriedly bowed and returned the salute. Although I don't know his identity, there must be important reasons for Qiao Sen to ask him to come to see me.
