The greed of humans..,
It was really an unsolvable topic.
Tonight..,
Lin Shao also came out with them,
He squatted by the edge of the Lotus River and looked up at the moon,
It was round,
It was like a delicious egg pancake.
He raised his head and looked at it for a while,
His mind was thinking about many things,
His neck was starting to ache,
Suddenly, Bai Ze, who was standing at the side, tugged at his sleeve,
And said in a low voice, "They're here."
In fact, Bai Ze and the recovering Ghost Of Locust were here,
It was easy to punish these people,
There was no need to run out in the cold at night, and there was no need to wait until today. They just needed to sit at home and raise their hands. However, after discussing it, they still decided to put the time now.
They probably felt that the best way to punish them was to make a move when they reached the peak of their greed and fall from the peak of ecstasy to the bottom of the valley.
There were six people in this group,
In the middle of the night, Lin Shao saw them sneaking to the riverside. It was already midnight,
The weather was cold,
There was basically no one outside,
So no one noticed them.
Not long after..,
Lin Shao saw a golden thread slowly floating out of the Lotus River. To be more precise, it was as if someone had pulled it out of the Lotus River.
Then, the golden thread slowly became thicker and larger. Gradually, it turned from a thread to the thickness of a hemp rope and connected to a certain place on the shore.
At this moment, Lin Shao heard The Ghost Of Locust say in a low voice, "Do it!"
When Bai Ze heard this, he did not even move from where he was. He only stretched out his hand and gently raised it forward. The Ghost Of Locust did not make any big movements, but Lin Shao clearly saw the golden thread that was pulled out of the Lotus River retract to its original place at an extremely fast speed. Then, he heard a few muffled groans. The surface of the water seemed to have been smashed down, ripples appeared one after another, and then, it slowly returned to its calm state.
The area by the river was extremely quiet now. It was as if everything before was an illusion and nothing had happened.
"Is that all?"
Lin Shao asked. He stretched his neck to take a look, but he didn't see anything. The lights in this section were dim, and the light was very weak. The location was under the sidewalk. He looked for a long time, but he still couldn't see what was going on over there.
"Alright," Bai Ze pulled him back. "It's getting late. Be a good boy and go back to sleep. You'll know what happened here when you wake up tomorrow morning. Don't worry."
Lin Shao was sleepy and confused, but he still listened to Bai Ze and went home.
The next morning, the morning news gave him an answer.
It turned out that not only did The Ghost Of Locust punish them, but he also took out some of their hidden treasures and informed the police in a timely manner.
In the end, the Human Realm's power still had to be brought to an end.
When the police arrived, they only saw a few corpses and so many precious cultural relics. However, they couldn't figure out what was going on. Therefore, they tentatively determined that a group of cultural relics smugglers had an internal strife due to unequal distribution of the spoils, and finally killed each other.
Although so many people died in a row, and it was considered a negative case in Huaili, which had good public security, the value of the pile of cultural relics found was the most important. The impact of this strange death case had been completely covered.
Lin Shao only took a nap, but the others were much faster.
According to this morning's news report, experts from the capital had rushed here overnight. They said that the discovery of the cultural relics was "unprecedented" and "shocking both China and abroad."
He was right. This puzzling death case and the appearance of hundreds of national treasure-level cultural relics were hotly discussed on the Internet. There were all kinds of messy guesses. After all, none of these things were ordinary. Any one of them was enough to make a special report, not to mention that so many of them had appeared at once.
Lin Shao's phone had received at least six news notifications about the incident. It was only early in the morning, and it was the first time Huaili City had been in the limelight nationwide.
"Although most of the auspicious aura has been sucked away or dissipated, they are still valuable as cultural relics. It's a waste to leave them in the hands of these people," the Ghost Of Locust said. "But it's been too long, and their original owners can no longer be traced. Let's return them to the public and store them in a museum. Everyone can go take a look at them, and they'll become something that belongs to everyone."
Lin Shao nodded, and he felt a lot more relaxed.
No matter how hard people guessed, they would never guess what had happened. But in any case, this matter had a good ending. It was karma.
However, after the Ghost Of Locust finished reading the news, he took something out of his pocket and handed it to Lin Shao.
"This is for you. We agreed before," the Ghost Of Locust said. "Return it to the West Queen Mother. Return it to its rightful owner."
Lin Shao was stunned. Looking at the white Yusheng in his hand, his heart could not help but beat faster.
After all, the item in front of him was the quest item he had been looking for for a long time. Lin Shao took it in his hand and sent it to Jade Mountain through the system. When he handed it to the West Queen Mother, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Since the last time the West Queen Mother changed her appearance, she had maintained her youthful appearance. This time, when she took the Yusheng from Lin Shao, she lowered her head and smiled. Then, she tied the Yusheng into her hair with a jade hairpin. Soon, her long hair was tied into a beautiful and elegant bun.
"Does it look good?" The West Queen Mother smiled and turned to show Lin Shao. "This suits me better."
Lin Shao nodded and said sincerely, "It looks good."
"That's good." The West Queen Mother seemed to be in a good mood. As if she had remembered something, she returned the tablet to Lin Shao and said, "I'll return this to you. I don't need it anymore."
"Huh?" Lin Shao was puzzled, but he still took it.
Last time, he was so happy watching the video that he could not bear to part with it. Why did she not want it now?
However, he did receive the system notification that the quest was successful, and the points had been transferred to his account. At least this time, there was no problem.
"Did you record something for me to bring back to the Ghost Of Locust?" Lin Shao asked tentatively.
The West Queen Mother smiled and shook her head. She said, "Why would I use that thing of yours?
I really don't need it anymore. Thank you, Lin Shao. If you need any help in the future, feel free to come to me. As long as I can help, I'll do it.
Oh, by the way, I was thinking about what to give you as a thank you gift yesterday, so I rummaged through the things I saved for a long time, but I couldn't find anything particularly suitable. Instead, I found this. It's not really a thank you gift. I should have given it to you. I just didn't think of it before. "
The thing that the West Queen Mother handed over to Lin Shao looked familiar. When he took it, he realized that it was not just familiar. He had seen it before.
One look at the pattern and he knew that it came from the same thing as the fragment given to him by the Haunted Goat chief.
However, this fragment was bigger, about twice the size of the previous one. It was not as rusty as the previous one, and the pattern on it was clearer.
It was said that this fragment belonged to the previous messenger, and it was the same thing that saved the chief of the Wen Yao clan. Although he did not know how it worked, it meant that it was an extremely precious treasure. It might even save his life in a time of crisis.
Lin Shao thanked the West Queen Mother. He did not forget to take out the fragment from last time and compare the edges. It was not closed, so there must be other fragments.
However, when Lin Shao put the fragment into the system space, he noticed something special. The system had stored the two fragments in the same slot by default.
