I noticed that when I just finished saying this, those people looked at me with different eyes.

"This young man, maybe you still want to buy it?"

Someone laughed at the side.

I was speechless.

But the curator seemed to want to break the awkward atmosphere, and then said calmly, "A woman, about 30 years old, she brought it herself, but she didn't explain the origin of the gem, and we can't find any information in any archives."

He described the woman, and it was indeed her!

I took a deep breath and kept silent.

"I analyzed it carefully, and there should be no problem with this gem, but it's mainly because of its origin, which is almost blank, so I really think it's a bit incredible."

The curator analyzed.

"But there are too many precious things in the world that have not been properly named, so as long as you accept it, isn't it the best of both worlds."

Someone suggested.

At this time, most people echoed and agreed.

"Do you all think so?"

The curator asked.

"That's right."

"Such a good opportunity, don't give up, but how much did the woman offer?"

Someone asked.

"The price is not much, our museum can afford it."

The curator did not give a specific number.

Some people below seemed dissatisfied.

However, the curator seemed to notice that I had not spoken, as if thinking about something, and asked me if I had any opinions with a serious face.

"Don't buy it!"

I said lightly.

"Why?"

The curator asked me.

But I couldn't give any reason, because I couldn't say that this thing would turn into charcoal, then I would probably be laughed at.

Just like at the beginning, almost everyone started to laugh at me.

I had no room to speak at all.

Naturally, I didn't want to defend myself. I thought I was the only one present at the venue, but now it seems that I have no way to defend myself.

So I decided not to say a word anymore.

But those people didn't give me any chance to speak anymore. After that, I just knew that they were all discussing how exquisite this gem was.

Maybe this acquisition plan will shock the whole world.

Especially before such a large gem is discovered.

It seems that the origin has become less important.

An hour later, I returned home in a daze.

The expression of the woman appeared in my mind. Whenever she appeared in front of me, she seemed to always have an anxious expression.

It seemed that someone was spying on her treasure all the time. However, did she really have a treasure?

I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Even when I dreamed, the woman's face appeared, but it was indeed a nightmare.

I was awakened by fear.

I looked at the time. It was already two o'clock in the middle of the night. I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead. Just as I was preparing to go to bed, suddenly, my phone rang.

"Who would call me at this time?"

I asked the person on the phone directly. Although I was a little confused when I was talking, I was still relatively sober. However, there was no sound on the other end for a long time.

I thought it was someone's prank.

But then, a bell rang from the ringing of the phone, followed by a creaking sound.

"Damn it."

Who was so angry that he called me late at night to listen to this? I saw that no one spoke for a long time, so I hung up the phone directly. Fortunately, I turned off the phone directly.

"I am so angry."

I cursed.

But now I am completely sleepless. I almost made it to the next morning and prepared to go to the store listlessly.

I opened the store as usual, but there was no one at this time. I even saw that everyone on the street seemed to have disappeared.

I opened my sleepy eyes and saw that it was already half past nine. Where did those people go? Why didn't I see anyone?

On weekdays, the steamed bun shop opposite should be lined up to buy breakfast at this time.

But there was no one in the steamed bun shop today.

And the fried dough sticks and soy milk stall next door.

It was still empty and the door was closed.

The street was dead silent, as if the city was deserted and there was no living thing.

"Strange."

I sat alone in the store, bored, watching TV. It seemed that all the reports were normal, and there was nothing unusual. But what about the people in Lishan City?

Did they all agree to stay at home and rest today?

I don't believe it.

When it was almost noon, I didn't see anyone. I was a little panicked, because no one was really a terrifying thing for me, as if I was trapped on an isolated island. That kind of fear came from the bottom of my heart.
