"I have to push this box carefully, gently, and don't knock it."

As Kurosawa walked in, he heard the old man muttering.

He was giving careful instructions to the unloading workers in the truck compartment.

Kurosawa glanced at the researcher badge in front of him and saw that he was not mistaken. It was the person he remembered.

Senior Researcher, Yan Song.

Speaking of which, Kurosawa was able to recognize him at a glance in the crowd because of his extremely good memory.

After all, the relationship between the two is not very familiar, and they only had one day of contact about three years ago.

He can still recall the experience of their first meeting.

He remembered that it was when he went out for training and arrived at the Petunia Market. He accidentally encountered a trilobite crawling out of the sewer on the city road. Little Shining kicked the trilobite into the sewer manhole, but it was hit. Director Yansong is climbing up below.

Afterwards, Yansong also took Kurosawa to visit his research institute in the suburbs.

"Director Yansong, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Kurosawa stepped forward and said hello.

Yansong, who was instructing the workers to move the goods, turned to look at Kurosawa when he heard the voice. His eyes narrowed behind the thick glasses, and confusion gradually appeared on his face.

"Sorry, are you?"

Only then did Kurosawa think of his current appearance. The other person probably couldn't connect him with the person in his impression.

But he didn't bother explaining.

"Are you still living in Petunia City now? I visited your institute three years ago, and you introduced me to trilobites."

"Oh" Yansong suddenly sighed. "It turns out to be you."

To be honest, he really felt that the man wearing a press card in front of him was strange, but considering that he received a lot of people at the morning glory market, he probably forgot about it.

"Sorry, I'm older now and my memory isn't very good."

"Are you here for an exchange meeting?"

"Yes, bring the latest research results to share with other researchers and see if you can be inspired."

"Then I won't disturb you for now. I wish you good luck in your work."

Kurosawa saw that Director Yansong was also busy now, so he didn't say anything more.

He glanced at the boxes unloaded from the truck bed without leaving any trace.

What was conveyed to him was the breath of living creatures, with a slightly peculiar smell, and from time to time there was a slight rattling sound. If Kurosawa guessed correctly, it should still be Hikomatsu's research species of trilobites.

It’s really rare to be focused on one topic for so many years.

He sighed for a while, turned around and walked towards other parts of the institute.

After patrolling, he learned more about the institute hosting this event.

This exchange meeting not only included Haihua's own researchers at all levels, but also invited many well-known overseas scholars and research staff.

Some of them come for academic exchanges, some come to inspect suitable investment projects, and some come for fun or to work as bodyguards.

The mixed crowd of participants also added a lot of potential dangers to the conference itself.

Kurosawa sat up from the bench on the roadside and threw the empty mineral water bottle into the trash can a few meters away.

When passing by a vending machine, he passed by another man and made a few very subtle gestures with his fingers, and the other man responded in kind.

Kurosawa left with confidence after confirming each other's identities.

Kurosawa is obviously not the only one with "security" in the park.

Kurosawa has already felt powerful psychic fluctuations from several people. Some of them are Kurosawa's ANBU colleagues, but most of them are "bodyguards" from other organizations.

"so troublesome"

Kurosawa walked away before sighing.

It is normal for a researcher with a relatively high status to take some personal security with him when participating in activities, but it is not very friendly to him, because there are more objects to observe and monitor, and the workload has also increased a lot.

Kurosawa needs to find out the power of those who came to the institute in these two days and confirm that those who have innocent identities.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

night.

Tomorrow is when the conference officially begins.

Kurosawa had just compiled the information he had collected.

Suddenly, he received a message that required him to go to a conference room in the institute.

Although it was late, this was his job. Kurosawa put on his coat, sent a standby notice to the three team members, and hurried towards the research institute.

Nandu Institute of Deep Wisdom.

A tall figure flashed and appeared inside the institute.

"Captain Qianli, please come here."

The security captain who had been waiting outside the conference room for a while quickly greeted him.

Because of their relatively high authority, he and the other secret service captain had already taken over the institute's internal security system, so they were temporarily considered their superiors.

Entering the conference room, another secret service captain had already arrived.

"Captain Spiderweb, what happened?"

The man in front of him was the one who sent him the gathering message just now.

Kurosawa knew that if there was no unexpected situation, the other party would not call him over rashly in the middle of the night.

The core elf of the spider web is a digital elf. In the past few days, all the monitoring equipment and defense networks of the entire researcher have been fully controlled by him and his elf. If any special situation occurs, he will definitely be the first person to learn about it. .

"Captain Qianli, please read this letter first."

ANBU Captain Spider Web handed the white envelope in his hand to Kurosawa. Kurosawa opened it and saw that there was only a thin piece of ordinary letter paper inside, with a line of words written in neat subtitles.

"Tomorrow, at ten o'clock in the morning, I will come and pick up the Sunstone."

"What is this? A crime notice?" Kurosawa looked through the letter paper and envelope. Apart from the sentence above, there was only the red treasure box symbol in the corner, and there was no other information.

"Yes, Captain Li picked it up from the roadside during his patrol tonight."

"Did any surveillance equipment capture who left it behind?" Kurosawa asked subconsciously, but as soon as he asked, he already had an answer in his mind.

Sure enough, Spider Web immediately shook his head.

"The surveillance only saw letters floating down from the sky. I checked all the surveillance equipment in the wider range and found no unusual people."

Kurosawa nodded.

"This red treasure box symbol is the exclusive symbol of the famous transnational theft organization Treasure House. This is a group of arrogant criminals who specialize in selecting precious treasures from various countries. Of course, it is not ruled out that they are fake." Spider Web further added.

"Can the Sunstone be postponed for display? Or be replaced."

The Sunstone mentioned in the letter is an extremely precious item. It can absorb the essence of nature's sunlight, and then release the aura that induces the evolution of light-attributed elves. The principle is unknown, but it is a treasure for researchers who study light attributes. .

Its exhibition is also one of the highlights of this exchange meeting. In fact, every exchange meeting will launch similar benefits to attract more researchers.

"I'm afraid not." Spiderweb shook his head. "The display of the Sunstone this time was announced a long time ago, and ten more will be released to researchers for close-range detection."

"If it is canceled or replaced with a fake, I'm afraid other researchers will not agree."

Kurosawa was silent for a long time. In addition to protecting a few key researchers, he also had to maintain order on site so that the exchange meeting could proceed smoothly. Naturally, he could not interfere with the normal process of the conference.

"In this case, we can only arrange the scene in advance. In order to prevent accidents, let others keep it secret."

"I think so too."

There will be a large number of people at tomorrow's exchange meeting, so it's best to block the news completely.

Afterwards, the web is left to be arranged.

There was nothing Kurosawa could do to help, so he left after assigning the work.

The next day.

Kurosawa heads to the Resource Center of the Nandu Alliance.

The Sunstone will be taken out from here and escorted to the exhibition hall of the venue.

Spider Web has notified the Resource Center.

But it seems that the resource center staff and security have full confidence in the device that protects the Sunstone.

"Don't worry, this protection device cannot be broken even by defensive-level attacks. Moreover, it also has the function of isolating space transmission and isolating other energy attributes. Only the energy released by itself during daylight can be transmitted from the inside and reach the exhibition hall. After the display, it will be locked together with the dozens of tons of base, and it will be foolproof. "

Kurosawa looked at the protective cover that looked like a transparent glass shell, but his brows furrowed quietly.

The other party is so confident in his protective device, obviously after countless tests, but Kurosawa has always believed that no matter how perfect the protective device is, it is dead and cannot be foolproof.

But even defense-level attacks cannot break through, the attribute energy cannot penetrate, and the foundation is locked, so how can it be stolen.

Could it be now?

Along the way, Kurosawa tensed his mind, always paying attention to the cars driving around him, and even the staff at the resource center around him were also silently monitored by him.

However, what surprised and relieved him was that nothing unexpected happened until he and Sunstone arrived at the venue.

However, when he got out of the car and heard the exchanges at the scene, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

"I heard that the Treasure House is eyeing the Sunstone and said it would steal it today."

"What is a treasure house?"

"It is a transnational theft organization that specializes in selecting rare and rare treasures, and the success rate is very high."

"Isn't the Sunstone very dangerous?"

"."

Kurosawa couldn't help but have a few black lines appear on his forehead as he listened to the low-pitched exchanges of other participants.

How come everyone knows it.

Suddenly, the sound of cobwebs came from Kurosawa's headphones.

"It seems that the people from the Treasure House took the initiative to release the news and wanted to disrupt the order of the scene."

Kurosawa noticed that nearly 80% of the eyes at the scene were focused on the Sunstone, and he felt extremely stressed.

Not only is it more difficult to identify criminals in the crowd, but the pressure from public opinion on guard work is also much greater.

He didn't want to be succeeded by such an arrogant group of criminals.

"Let's stick to the plan."

Kurosawa said silently.

Cube, Dujuan and Qingshan were sent to other places.

At the same time, the same goes for the members of the Spider Web Team, and other important researchers at the scene also need protection.

Spider Web is responsible for monitoring the overall situation and coordinating the work of the two ANBU teams and other security personnel.

As for Kurosawa himself, he stayed near the Sunstone to guard him. With his teleportation ability and excellent combat effectiveness, he was undoubtedly the best guard.

The Sunstone was under Kurosawa's silent gaze.

The security personnel drove away the idlers, and then escorted the device storing the Sunlight Stone to the exhibition hall, and then locked it on the base. Everything went very smoothly before the exhibition began, so smoothly that Kurosawa felt something was wrong.

He stood in the corner like an invisible man.

He kept thinking quickly in his heart.

Maybe it was a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. The other party tied me, the strongest combat force, here through a crime warning letter, and then the target might be other professor-level researchers or other research results.

In fact, until now, Kurosawa was still unsure.

If it was really a treasure house, then according to past practices, their target was most likely the Sunlight Stone. After all, the value of the Sunlight Stone was definitely the highest at this conference, and the other exhibits combined were not as good as the Sunlight Stone.

But it cannot be ruled out that it was a fake treasure house in the name of other criminal organizations. If so, then their target might be a professor or researcher they needed.

Time passed little by little.

Soon it was nine o'clock.

As the exhibition hall was officially opened to all participants, many people instantly poured into the empty hall.

Some of them came to visit the Sunlight Stone, and more of them came just to join in the fun.

The Treasure House's style of doing things is to steal treasures. Even if the theft fails, it rarely hurts ordinary people. It may be this "open and aboveboard" resume that makes ordinary people not too afraid of this organization.

After all, even if the rare treasures are stolen, there is no loss for ordinary people who visit.

Of course, at this moment, Kurosawa suddenly understood why the Treasure House did not harm civilians. Their actions are often carried out in similar exhibitions, and ordinary people on the scene are the best shelter for them.

"Don't get close to the blockade!"

"Researchers who have drawn a close-up visit quota come to the front desk to register information!"

A large number of security personnel surrounded the Sunlight Stone and presided over the order on the scene.

Kurosawa's eyes examined the many people on the scene.

To Kurosawa's surprise, except for the security personnel on the scene, all those who entered the exhibition hall were ordinary people, and the "bodyguards" with special powers seemed to be very obedient and all stayed outside the venue.

Soon, the first researcher who got the quota took the token and excitedly crossed the blockade with the instrument.

Kurosawa's perception locked on the other party.

The other party had ten minutes to visit closely.

Could it be him?

Although the time on the other party's notice letter was ten o'clock in the morning, he did not completely believe the content on it.

The man who came forward was very thin and wore a white coat. He was laboriously setting up the detection equipment around the Sunlight Stone by himself. It seemed to be a normal detection process.

As he operated the instrument, a series of complex data and images soon appeared on the panel.
