Golden Forbidden Land: I am at the highest level, exploring the secrets of immortality

Chapter 330: Substitution

I've been obsessed with this thing for the past few days.

After all, I have been worried about something of such great value all day long. However, to my surprise, and what worries me the most, is that there has never been any report in the news.

Is this just a farce?

A week later, I almost completely forgot about it, because I put the gem casually under an inconspicuous drawer in the store.

I don't even think about it.

I felt a little relieved, and decided to investigate this matter after it passed. Of course, I would like to know if I was moved or not.

Needless to say, if I had just graduated, I would have been excited.

And now that I have almost seen the face of the most valuable treasure in history, thousands of gold, I seem to be a little calmer.

"Long time no see, where have you been?"

One noon, as soon as I finished my meal, the captain came over with two guards.

I was vaguely worried. After all, if the captain came to reminisce and have a drink, he would naturally not bring any of his subordinates and go alone.

Is it really related to gems?

I was lost in thought, and suddenly he asked me, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look a little wrong? Are you worried?"

"No, it's okay."

I smiled lightly.

"It looks like you're handling a case?"

I said.

"Well, you still don't know, something seems to be wrong in the past half month or so. Each of these people went to the police station to report the case, saying that someone was following them, but we checked carefully and even called the surveillance cameras, but found nothing. Anyone." The captain seemed troubled by this.

"What do you think?"

he asked me next.

"Is that really weird?"

I said calmly, and then thought about it, "Not to mention that I actually met an old man last time, just like the situation you mentioned."

"Yeah, not just one person."

The captain sighed, "So, I came out to see for myself what happened."

"Did you find any clues?"

I asked.

"No, I'm still returning empty-handed," the captain said.

"I really don't know what happened."

"Yes, I have no business here. Not only that, the surrounding shops seem to have no business. I don't know what those tourists are doing. If this continues, we will all have to drink the northwest wind."

I smiled bitterly.

We pretty much chatted most of the afternoon.

At night, I was about to pack up and close the door, but suddenly a man stopped me.

It's a woman.

Unexpectedly, I knew that woman. She was the woman who bumped into me last time. Then she looked at me very excitedly and said, "Sir, I'm sorry to bother you so late. Do you still remember me?"

I smiled bitterly, of course.

"I seem to have lost something. I think it should be with you. That thing is very important to me. Can you give it back to me?"

She implored me with a most urgent desire.

I had almost no reason to say no.

"By the way, I have a question, why was someone chasing you that day?"

I said.

"this……\

,"The woman seemed to have something to hide, she hesitated for a long time, and her face was very anxious.

"actually……"

He didn't say anything for a long time.

"Okay, I'll give it to you." I didn't press any further, seeing that she didn't look like a bad person, so I said, is it that gem?

She was stunned and didn't answer me.

I saw big beads of sweat on her forehead and quickly told her to take a rest.

But even when she was resting, she never forgot to look outside, as if someone was watching around her at any time.

However, something happened that left me speechless.

The gem actually changed at this time.

It was originally a bright red gemstone, worth a lot of money, but now it turned into something the color of charcoal, and it was much lighter in the hand.

"this……"

I can't believe it.

He rubbed his eyes to make sure he saw it correctly.

"How is this possible?"

I shook my head.

"Sir, what's wrong?"

she asked me.

"How did this gem become like this?"

I didn't know how to explain it, and I thought she was going to treat me as a thief who stole gems. The tens of millions of dollars would be enough for me to spend the rest of my life in prison.

I was thinking about how I should explain it to make her believe it.

But I was discouraged, because no one would believe that such a valuable piece of jewelry would turn into worthless carbon.

"This gem..."

I had to show him what I had in my hand.

"I……"

"Sir, how about you give this back to me?"

She actually asked me this.

I had no choice but to give her the charcoal-like thing in my hand.

"This is not a gem..."

"Gem, sir, are you mistaken?"

After that, the woman thanked me and left quickly. When she left, she seemed to be very cautious.

I really don't know whether to laugh or cry now. I don't know whether I am lucky or depressed.
