2052, Thirty Years Of Sleep

"It's genuine, thank you very much."

Yang Qi put the green gem back into the small box and put it away, with a sincere smile on his round face.

"As long as you are satisfied." Elizabeth also had a smile on her face and nodded slightly: "Mr. Bai, can I ask, what is your purpose of collecting these gems?"

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Yang Qi's face froze slightly, but he hid it very well. He raised his hand and coughed lightly before his expression returned to his natural state: "Miss Elizabeth, there are some things that you shouldn't ask, so don't ask. We each Just take what you need.”

However, Elizabeth did not seem to understand the warning in his words, and still whispered to herself: "Is it the Seven-Color Holy Crown?"

Yang Qi fell silent, and his friendly round face became a little gloomy. His small eyes narrowed slightly and looked at him, with a faint cold light flashing inside.

After a while, he asked in a low voice: "How did you guess it?"

"You may not know that Euphemia is my college classmate, and I have always had a good relationship with her. A few months ago, I saw her at an auction in London and bought a valuable ruby. .I had a dinner with her that day, and we talked a lot after not seeing each other for a long time. She accidentally mentioned a young man, and I felt a bit similar to the young man who visited my house with you last time, so I Just pay more attention..."

Elizabeth crossed her fingers in front of her and spoke softly: "First the top rubies, and now the top emeralds. Would you believe me if I said that I haven't guessed what you really want yet?"

"Indeed, it is better to be open and honest than to pretend to be confused. Miss Elizabeth, you are a real good friend."

A smile appeared on Yang Qi's face again, but then he became serious again: "But one thing I want to remind you is, don't ask about the Holy Crown casually in the future. Even I am just collecting gems for my superiors. . If you make that adult unhappy, I’m afraid not only your affairs will be ruined, but also me..."

Having said this, he raised his hand across his neck with an extremely solemn expression, saying nothing.

Behind Elizabeth, Wei Min tried hard to maintain a superficial calm. Fortunately, he wore a mask tonight, which greatly reduced the possible flaws caused by changes in his expression.

Colorful holy crown, extraordinary item, forbidden item.

As long as seven ultra-high-quality gems of different colors are collected and set on a platinum tiara, seven wishes can be realized in an unexpected way. Each time a wish is fulfilled, one gem will be reduced to ashes.

The reason why extraordinary items that can help others realize their wishes are classified as taboo items lies precisely in the four words "unexpected".

For example, the most common wish to make a fortune is that if the wish-maker's family dies due to an accident, the wish-maker will receive a large amount of compensation and insurance, which can only be regarded as a routine operation. It is also possible that the wish-maker who wants to become the richest person in the world dies unexpectedly, and then his family burns tens of billions of ghost coins for him.

If the wish-maker uses it to curse the death of others, the cursed object is likely to lose control of the plane the next day and crash directly into the building where the wish-maker lives. In other words, a king-level titan appeared from nowhere the next day and crushed the cursed object into powder along with thousands of people around it.

It is even said that if the wish-maker makes a wish that is basically impossible to come true, such as the disappearance of all alien species in the world, such as making a small African country become the most powerful country in the world overnight, the Colorful Holy Crown is more likely to choose to directly Get rid of the person who made the wish.

Even if you use it to make a wish that the weather will be fine tomorrow, so that you can play a ball happily downstairs in the community, this is a trivial wish. The final outcome may be that you break your leg while walking on a flat road. Naturally, you don’t have to worry about whether tomorrow’s weather will affect your playing.

The colorful holy crown fulfills wishes, focusing on a wish-maker who is unable to protect himself, and with the wish-maker as the center, all the creatures around him are in ruins.

Therefore, until ten years ago, the Seven-Colored Holy Crown was secretly stored somewhere in the British National Security Department, and its government claimed that it would never use this forbidden object. However, due to the unreliable centuries-old tradition of a certain country, the Colorful Holy Crown unexpectedly happened. Until now, no one knows the whereabouts of this ominous and extraordinary item.

Unexpectedly, traces of this terrifying taboo object reappeared in an inconspicuous corner room of a masquerade party in Ark tonight.

No matter what Yang Qi's immediate boss wants to do with the Colorful Holy Crown, it will definitely cause a lot of shock around the world.

...

"Ms. Elizabeth, I am very satisfied with today's meeting. Thank you very much for your enthusiasm. As for the thing you are looking forward to, it will come true soon. I think the lady will be very happy to see such a smart and beautiful lady like you. of joining.”

Yang Qi put on the monkey mask again, stood up and bowed slightly forward.

"It was a really nice conversation tonight."

Elizabeth also stood up, but her tone of voice was no longer as gentle as before, but became a little indifferent: "I'm sorry, Mr. Bai, my thoughts have changed recently, and I may not want to join you."

Yang Qi's pupils shrank slightly, but the smile on his round face did not change at all: "It doesn't matter, you are free to join or not. The adult will not force it. We can continue to be friends in the future..."

"But what if I said that from the beginning when I approached you, I didn't want to be friends with you?"

Elizabeth's back was turned to Wei Min at this time. Although the latter couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, he could clearly sense that her whole temperament had changed. It seems that she is no longer the noble lady who pays attention to appearance and pampers herself, but is a cold and steady superior who holds power.

"You..." Yang Qi had a look of horror on his face and turned around to run away. But as soon as he lifted his foot, his whole body trembled. He stood on one foot and froze in place with a strange sideways posture, as if he had turned into a statue whose shape violated the laws of physics.

Wei Min was startled and turned around to look, only to see the maid Sari wearing a rabbit mask, her eyes flashing red at the moment, staring at Yang Qi at the table who was trying to escape.

"Are you surprised?" Elizabeth had taken off her mask at this time, and a faint smile appeared on her mature and beautiful face, as if she was a little content.

Wei Min sighed: "I knew it was no coincidence that you found me in the first place."

"That's right." Elizabeth came to him, stretched out her hand and gently lifted his chin: "I have planned this chance encounter with you for a long time."

"Who are you?" Wei Min said calmly.

"He's not a bad person anyway." Elizabeth raised a smile on her lips: "Among the list of your classmates, I am the one most likely to have something to do with the Holy Glory Order, right?"

Wei Min's heart has sunk to the bottom at this time. Shi Shang can be said to be one of the top hackers in the world. He even has a backdoor to Ark's entire information security architecture. It stands to reason that no matter what he does, he will not be exposed on the Internet. Leave no trace.

But Elizabeth not only knew about Shi Shang's existence, but also knew exactly what he had done, which was a bit scary.

At this point, Wei Min no longer struggled in vain and admitted generously: "Yes, you are indeed one of the targets of the big data analysis power who is most likely to have something to do with the Shengyao Order. The reason why I came back to I came to you just to investigate you secretly."

"Lan, you are very honest, I like it very much."

Elizabeth pursed her lips, and there was a hint of undisguised appreciation in her blue eyes: "Then I will tell you directly. I have indeed been trying to contact the people of the Shengyao Order during this period. If possible, I I originally wanted to join them.”

Wei Min was a little puzzled: "You obviously have everything that most people in this world dream of, so why are you involved with those anti-human terrorists?"

"Because this is God's will."

"What?"

"Let's not talk about these serious things."

Elizabeth smiled slightly, walked around behind Wei Min on tiptoes, hugged his neck affectionately, and blew gently into his ear: "I seemed to have accidentally planted a 'seed' by that bad guy just now, and now my body is hot. A little uncomfortable..."

Wei Min reached out and grabbed the woman's wrist on his chest, then turned around and pressed her against the wall:

"The night is still long, isn't it?"
