After checking the box, Xia De hesitated to speak, but Mr. Cameron was quite happy:
"Detective, did you check the interlayer of the box? I also suspected that it was a hoax, but I am sure that there is no interlayer in it. This is indeed a technology that crosses the age."
He looks pretty smug:
"I think your client should have bought a fake Victor box. Probably someone heard about this special technology, so they wanted to fake it. Detective, you should start investigating from this aspect, and It’s not to doubt the authenticity of this technology.”
The convincing statement from the heart was in stark contrast to the box on the table.
Xia De pursed his lips and nodded, took out the soul crystal ring from his pocket, and while putting the ring on his back behind his back, turned his head to look at the window, outside the window was a city filled with fog:
"Huh? What's that?"
Xia De said suddenly, Mr. Cameron turned his head to look at the window in doubt, but saw nothing. When I looked back at Xia De again, I happened to see his eyes. The detective's eyes seemed to have a magical power at this moment, making Mr. Cameron mistakenly think that he was punched head-on.
He instantly felt his eyes go dark:
"oh!"
He leaned back on the sofa with his head up, but he didn't faint. Instead, he felt as if he suddenly understood something when he heard Xia De say, "It turned out to be just fog, and the pollution has become more and more serious recently."
The factory owner sat up straight, looked at the box on the table in surprise, then shrank his neck and scratched his hair:
"I was tricked?"
The function of the thaumaturgy [Mind Blast] is to oscillate the mind to detonate the soul. It is used at the lowest efficiency and does not cause much harm to ordinary people. At most, it will only give him a headache for a few days. But such an attack can also decipher some mind control effects, and Xia De's attempt was obviously successful.
But Dorothy and Princess Margaret were a little surprised. They didn't see anything wrong with the box.
"Yes, I'm afraid you have really been fooled."
Shad reached into his pocket and pulled out a scabbard dagger he'd gotten out of a gift box in the fall.
Pulling out the dagger, stabbing at the box, the sharp dagger pierced through the box.
Shad pulled out the dagger again, and asked Mr. Cameron to look at the pierced hole against the light:
"You see, there is no mechanism that can be printed inside, not even gears and pistons. If you still think that this box has technology that spans the ages, I can only attribute it to... mystic technology .Maybe the church would be happy to tell you how it works."
Mr. Cameron opened his mouth and watched the light pass through the pierced hole, and there was indeed nothing inside the box. He scratched his hair again, then lowered his head dejectedly:
"God, how could I believe such a thing?"
"Everyone is deceived at times, and those who are deceived are always unable to understand their situation before they wake up. Fortunately, you have not lost much."
Xia De said regretfully, and then proposed:
"I bought it for 2 pounds as a clue for the next investigation. However, you have to tell me who sold this thing to you and where is the other party now."
This time, Mr. Jimmy Cameron did not refuse. He looked at the ground in a daze, still not understanding why he would be fooled by such a ridiculous scam:
"Could it be that life is too rotten, causing mental problems?"
He grabbed his own hair again, revealing a dangerous hairline. This gentleman might be lost for a while.
After getting the address of the merchant selling Victor's box, Xia De took the box and left the textile factory with the two girls. They didn't take a carriage to their destination immediately, but found a hotel nearby. Under the strange eyes of the hotel owner, Xia De took the two girls to ask for a room.
Baimengshu
"There is a problem with this thing, a very slight elemental reaction."
Xia De didn't tell his discovery until the door was closed. The room is very small, although there is no special smell, but the floor looks like it is covered with a layer of dust that cannot be wiped clean.
He put the box on the table in the small room, and Dorothy closed the curtains with a wave. Neither she nor Princess Margaret noticed anything unusual:
"Shad, what did you notice?"
"I don't know what it is, but it must be abnormal. We can try to check."
As he spoke, he rummaged through his pocket and found a small bottle containing white powder:
"Revealing powder, which can make invisible objects visible."
This was bought by Shad from Priest Augustus. It was a powerful developing powder made by the priest using knowledge after fusing more angel bones, but nothing appeared after the powder was sprinkled.
So he took the hair ornament that Dorothy handed over again. This is an alchemy item that Dorothy bought from Old John, which can make some special items that have no effect temporarily glow.
But still nothing happened.
Princess Margaret also found a black eye shadow box from her handbag. She asked Xia De to carefully shake the powder in the lower right corner of the eye shadow box into the box:
"This is an alchemy powder made by one of my teachers. It is very effective for special items."
Xia De thought for a while, and finally took out a bottle of No. 4 holy water, and sprinkled the holy water on the box.
"Oh! Get back!"
With the sound of stabbing~, black smoke with a foul smell emerged from the box. Shade stepped back abruptly, and while dropping the Silencing Charm, he kept the two princesses away from the table with him, watching the box spontaneously ignite in black flames.
As the black smoke continued to rise into the air, the wooden box burned and produced green acid water. The acid water directly melted the table, and even made a depression on the ground, but luckily it didn't penetrate to the downstairs floor.
In the black mist, a terrifying face seemed to emerge from the distorted smoke. The three people in the room heard whispers coming from their ears, the voice that seemed to come from the deepest part of their hearts, tempting them to show their desires together.
Xia De was not affected at all, and Dorothy barely resisted the voice in her heart because of her special connection with Rezia and the mental resistance provided by the red butterfly pendant. Only Princess Margaret panted heavily suddenly, and the black mist also changed into a black mist figure with only the upper body after the three of them hesitated for a moment:
"Mortals, show me your desires."
The black mist produced by the burning continued to expand, and all kinds of illusions in the black mist appeared before the eyes, as if they were going to cover the entire room. The fog bypassed Shade and rolled directly towards Princess Margaret. The latter touched the ring on her right hand and moved forward. Under the soft white light, the black fog slowly stagnated,
"Don't get close, I'll fix it, close your eyes!"
Xia De shouted loudly, standing in front of the two girls. The princess didn't know, so Dorothy, who had been taught a lesson in the "Happy Dream Pen" incident, immediately stretched out her right hand to block her eyes, and closed her eyes herself.
Xia De stretched out his finger:
"Silver Moon!"
The bright moonlight that burst out in the small room instantly pierced through the black mist. The light only flashed for less than a second, but the whole room seemed to be covered with a layer of silvery moonlight.
"This light..."
Even though Dorothy reached out her hand in time, Marguerite Anjou still felt her eyes turn white. And when I could see everything around me clearly, I felt like I was standing in a church:
"What kind of thaumaturgy is this?"
"Light Art...don't worry, the one just now was just an illusion, this thing is very weak."
Xia De looked at the box and said softly, still holding out a hand in front of the girls.
At this time, the box was still burning, but the black mist produced was just black mist. It was completely burned within half a minute, and after a bang~ a muffled sound, the table collapsed due to the corrosion of green acid water, and the acid water dripping onto the floor corroded the ground until it turned into a pile of white-green foam.
"Light?"
The princess was startled, and doubted Xia De's level again. So far, no one has ever talked to her about Shade's level, and Shade has never released the ring of life in front of her.
"Miss Mary, don't worry, Xia De is very professional in dealing with similar things."
Miss Writer is quite relaxed:
"Shad, what liquid did you use?"
She asked while covering her mouth and nose with her right hand, calling the wind with her left hand to confine the black smoke, compressing it into small black **** and falling on the ground, preventing excessive smoke from floating out from the crack of the door to attract attention.
"Holy water No. 4."
said Shad softly, and he looked at Dorothy, who nodded, took the somewhat dazed Princess Margaret's hand and turned her back, and turned her back with a smile before the latter asked a question.
At this time, everything in the room has been restored to its original state, no traces of corrosion can be seen on the floor, the table has returned to normal, and even the blackened walls have returned to their original state.
Only the "Victor's Box" that was burned because it was contaminated with holy water disappeared. Shade's [Breath of Time] had no effect on extraordinary items, and he didn't want that box to appear again.
Reaching into his pocket, he took out the branch prepared for the spell [Detoxification of the Elf], and plucked at the pile of foam on the ground a few times to confirm that the box was fully burned, and the foam was also evaporating quickly. Soon there will be no trace left.
"It's not a relic. I don't know what it is. I only know that it can arouse the desire in my heart. It seems that this investigation is not simple. I didn't expect that the commission has not appeared for a long time, and such a thing happened as soon as it appeared."
Xia De sighed:
"The other party seems to be afraid of being caught by the church, and the self-destruct function is really cautious. Do you still want to investigate with me?"
"certainly."
Dorothy nodded immediately ~www.mtlnovel.com~ She was in high spirits today. Princess Margaret hesitated for a moment, then nodded:
"Yes, at least I can be active in the city until the evening. Mr. Hamilton, do you always experience such things? When I was in Willendale, I rarely encountered extraordinary events caused by ordinary things."
"That's what characterizes the city starting this year."
Dorothy introduced with a smile:
"But I think it's going to be a fun day, isn't it?"
The blonde-haired princess nodded, and then looked at Xia De's back. She was becoming more and more confused about this handsome detective.
Since the box is rotting and burning under the No. 4 holy water, it shows that the person who made the item used forbidden knowledge that should not be used. The characteristics of the power and elements contained in the holy water itself are only so highly targeted to a few forces such as undead, demons, and relics.
So if the person behind this is not Dr. Bill Schneider, then he is almost certainly not a good person. Although good people can also use evil power, it is definitely not to make such items.
Xia De doesn't understand how the box is made, but he understands that it absorbs human desires to fulfill wishes. This is not so much a "bill duplicating machine" as it is a wishing machine. Such alchemical items cannot be produced by ordinary means, and the first-year alchemy course of St. Byrence has repeatedly emphasized the danger of such items.
