He decided to test it out.
At least it is necessary to find out in advance what trump cards these two mysterious powerhouses have.
Now that he has decided to take action, Yang Xiao is not reckless.
I saw Miyamoto rest for a moment, then stood up and walked towards the man in black robe.
"Sir, I seem to have seen the statue in your hand somewhere before."
Yang Xiao didn't lie, he had really seen this mysterious statue. In Nine Pillars Zero's memory, this statue has always been regarded as a sacred symbol by the village and is enshrined in the holy place. Only when a grand ceremony is organized can one have the opportunity to see its true appearance.
However, with the destruction of the village, she thought that the statue had been lost somewhere. Yang Xiao did not expect that she would be here today to find it.
In his eyes, a trace of divine light suddenly bloomed.
The man in black robe stared at Miyamoto, as if trying to discern some clues from his eyes.
"Lying will lead to death."
Unlike other agents, his identity is very special. As the elder of the Taketori family, Chiba Shinzo has lived in seclusion in Mount Wakaras in Tokyo for twelve years. If this mission was not of great importance and the royal family had issued several invitations, he would not have dispatched it easily.
Even the leader of this operation, Zhi Gaoyi Ji Zun, also respected him.
The price was the statue he was playing with.
As a top family hidden behind the scenes, the Taketori family has a very long history. Over the long years, he not only accumulated astonishing wealth, but also tried to master supernatural powers, secretly collecting supernatural items called holy relics.
In order to show sincerity, the RB royal family took out this statue as a great gift for this mission.
Chiba Shinzo, who was still a little hesitant at first, immediately agreed to go out after seeing this object.
Because he knew very well the precious value of this mysterious statue.
All over the world, many organizations or forces behind the scenes are working hard to unearth the mysterious power hidden under the truth after taking control of secular power.
Occult science also emerged as the times require, and gradually became a broad subject that was different from ordinary natural science, but also contained vast connotations.
However, due to various reasons, occult knowledge has always been in the hands of a very small number of people and misunderstood by the majority of people.
Although countless people deny the existence of mystery, and even resist mystery, thinking that it is pure feudal superstition, or other evil knowledge that is not suitable for mainstream acceptance.
But no matter how you resist, mystery has always dominated the normal operation of this world to some extent.
The same is true for Chiba Shinzo.
At one time, he was just a Ph.D. in physics engaged in theoretical research, specializing in molecular materials.
By chance, he came into contact with a real mystery. When a supernatural event unfolded before his eyes, which could not be explained by all the wisdom and knowledge he was once proud of, the huge impact on his worldview made him feel extremely horrified.
After that, there was an overwhelming obsession.
He finally understood why even the great figures on this planet who once dominated an era academically, such as Isaac Newton, would become immersed in theology in their later years.
Because the same knowledge, those secrets, those existences that are difficult for people to accept and understand, are indeed extremely fascinating.
"Of course, as an adult, I will naturally take responsibility for what I say. How about we go aside and have a chat?"
"Can."
After the statue was taken into the possession of Chiba Shinzo, he had been studying it repeatedly for several days, but there was not much progress.
This object exudes a mysterious magnetic field that fascinates people, allowing people to easily enter a deep state of meditation.
Chiba Shinzo has rarely been able to achieve deep meditation several times a year in the past. With the help of the statue, it becomes extremely easy.
This benefit alone made him feel like he had found a treasure.
Every time he woke up from meditation, he felt energetic, as if he had taken a tonic. His thinking was quick and his brain was extremely clear. In this state, he quickly found different answers to many questions that had troubled him for a long time.
He knew very well that this state could only be achieved by using some illegal drugs. But that is the way to death. Illegal drugs may be able to maintain a person's mental state at a short-term peak, but this is at the expense of stimulating potential. If used for a long time, ordinary people's bodies will not be able to support it for a long time.
What burns is actually life.
However, using the statue gave him no worries.
"You have already used it. Judging from your energy, the effect is self-evident. However, you don't really think that there are no hidden dangers in using it."
Thanks to Miyamoto's generosity, Yang Xiao mastered another foreign language by devouring his memories.
At this moment, he occupied Miyamoto's body and whispered to Chiba Shinzo like a devil in a very authentic Tokyo accent.
His expression did not change at all. Chiba Shinzo, dressed in black robe, continued to stare at Miyamoto coldly.
He has made up his mind that if this kid dares to play tricks on him, then he will let him know what true cruelty is.
As a master of mysticism, he has been exposed to countless mysteries over the years, and the knowledge is enough to make people feel crazy, but he still maintains the calmness and composure of a researcher.
"According to my investigation, this object comes from an isolated island. A group of ancestors unknown to the outside world once lived on the island, and they guarded a huge secret. Over the long years, they have been multiplying there Until ten years ago, someone discovered this island. They used powerful force to kill everyone and plundered everything they could take away, including this holy place on the island, which enshrined more than A sacred object that has been around for thousands of years, a statue of a strange beast.”
Yang Xiao used Miyamoto's mouth to tell a true lie. This lie is extremely true. Ninety-nine percent of it is true, and only one percent is mixed with the lies he compiled. Otherwise, the men in black robes in front of him would not believe it.
"If you look carefully, you can find that the head of this statue looks like a bat, but it definitely does not depict an earth creature, because it has only one single eye on its face. If you look closely, you can also find , the weird pupil in this one-eye, which has three-point blades like a windmill. Different from the obsidian-like material of the entire statue, the one-eye of the statue is a transparent stone that is very like amber. However, although it is very It’s like amber, but as far as I know, there is no amber in the world that can emit a gleaming yellow light like it!”
Having said this, Yang Xiao paused for a moment, and he noticed that Qianye Zhensan's eyes had become more solemn.
There were only two of them in this cabin.
The man in black robe is also unwilling to let others know the secret about the statue. This holy relic has now become one of his trump cards. Of course, the fewer people who know about it, the better.
"continue."
His voice was slightly hoarse. As he spoke, he took out the statue again and observed it carefully.
Miyamoto was pacing, and unknowingly, he got closer to Chiba Shinzo, and his eyes also fell on the statue. He nodded, resisting the sudden urge to subdue him in an instant, and continued: "The feeling it gives people It's very strange, as if this statue is not dead, it is actually still alive. The strange yellow light becomes more obvious in the darker the environment, and it will flicker and attract any living thing that comes close."
Taking a deep breath, Chiba Shinzo now had much less doubts in his eyes. At least Miyamoto is not an outright liar trying to steal his treasure.
He also discovered the characteristics of this statue by accident.
It seems to instinctively attract and gather creatures. Whether they are as small as insects, or as large as cats, dogs, or even humans, they are easily affected by it as long as they appear around it.
However, the time he got the statue was too short, and he had not yet studied the reasons behind this characteristic.
Since Miyamoto can tell such hidden characteristics about the statue, it is obvious that he may really know the mysteries of the statue.
This is indeed of great significance for me to continue to master the statue deeply. Any occult knowledge is extremely valuable. Chiba Shinzo, now, the eyes looking at Miyamoto also became intense.
If we can really get more secrets about the statue from this kid, then the harvest of this operation will be greatly improved.
This cabin is usually used as a temporary lounge for the crew. In addition to two beds, there is a bar in the entire room.
On the wall next to it, on a specially customized wine cabinet, there was a lot of whiskey that had not been finished before. There were also labels with the names of the crew members on the wine bottles.
Miyamoto found two wine glasses from under the bar. He randomly picked out half a bottle of spirits from the wine cabinet and poured two glasses.
"There is a saying. Although I knew about its existence, I had never seen its true appearance. Unexpectedly, this thing went round and round and fell into your hands. It is really an extraordinary cultural relic. It is so beautiful that it makes people feel that it is not so reality."
The chairs in this room have been cleared, and Miyamoto and Chiba Shinzo can only stand. Chiba Shinzo, who was dressed in black robes, did not take the wine glass. He was very repulsive to alcohol and did not like the feeling of his whole body gradually becoming paralyzed after being drunk.
Especially now that we are on a secret mission, we need a clear mind and always be vigilant.
However, he had no intention of stopping Miyamoto.
More than anything else, he just wants Miyamoto to tell all the secrets he knows. Although the royal family handed over the statue to the Taketori family, they did not reveal all the secrets of the statue.
Obviously, they also wanted to use this to further control his actions and even win him into the royal camp.
This is something Chiba Shinzo cannot tolerate.
He is very busy, busy exploring unknown mysteries and acquiring more occult knowledge, and is unwilling to get too involved in the real world.
