He told the staff, "Immediately post the news of today's closure online, quickly."
"Until notification comes from above, museum staff must keep this matter strictly confidential."
Soon, the British Museum officially announced that it would be closed today.
As soon as this statement was issued, the Internet exploded and netizens were talking about it.
"What? Closed? Why is it closed at this time?"
"I made an appointment two weeks ago, and today is finally my turn, but you just say it's closed?"
"You just said it was closed, but when will it be closed? At least give me a definite answer!"
Just then.
A comment suddenly appeared, shocking them three times.
"No way! Closed again? Could it be that the museum has been robbed again?"
As soon as this comment came out, it instantly evoked people's memories of the last museum theft.
As the popularity grew, the term "British Museum suspected of being stolen again" became a hot search.
Soon, some media outlets with a keen sense of smell got wind of the story and worked overtime to distort and exaggerate the facts and publish related articles.
The other side.
China.
It was 7 p.m. at this time, and most office workers had already left work.
Just as they opened their phones and were about to watch short videos to relieve their day's fatigue, the entry "Another theft at the British Museum" appeared on the screen.
People were confused.
Stolen again?
What is lost?
But please don’t let it be my Chinese baby.
They clicked on the relevant videos and saw the British Museum's sudden closure announcement.
Confused, they opened the comment section and the most popular comment was the one that suspected the museum had been stolen.
When the Chinese people saw it, they thought it made sense!
Otherwise, why would the museum be closed for no reason?
For a moment, all the pressure was on the British Museum.
…
Great Britain, British Museum.
Mark Jones sat solemnly in his chair, his eyes fixed on the huge screen in front of him, which was playing the surveillance video of the exhibition hall last night.
He thought that since it was stolen, and in such a large amount, the thief must have left some clues.
But he watched for a long time, and there was nothing unusual in the surveillance video that was divided into hundreds of frames.
He pinched his brows in a headache. Could it be that these cultural relics had arms and legs and could push the display cabinet doors and run away overnight?
He shook his head and frowned as he looked at the surveillance video. In the surveillance video, the lost cultural relics were quietly staying in their places.
Mark Jones turned to the staff and said, "Speed up a bit."
Staff: “Okay.”
When Mark Jones turned his gaze to the screen again, all the artifacts had disappeared.
"Stop!" Mark Jones ordered immediately, and the staff quickly paused the surveillance video.
"Go back," Mark Jones said to the staff, "I want to see what's going on."
Following his instructions, the staff rolled back the surveillance video.
Then, Mark Jones saw a horrifying scene.
I saw that the cultural relics that were in the display cabinets, hanging on the walls, and placed in the exhibition hall in the previous second disappeared from their respective places in the next second as if they were haunted.
Mark Jones looked at the surveillance footage in horror, "Impossible! How could it just disappear out of thin air?"
Suddenly.
"Knock knock~" There was a knock on the door.
A security guard pushed open the door to the monitoring room. He looked at Mark Jones nervously and said in a low voice, "Director, the national... flag... the flag is gone."
Mark Jones frowned and shouted, "Haven't you eaten yet? Speak louder."
The security guard closed his eyes, made up his mind, and shouted, "Director, the national flag is gone!"
Mark Jones slammed his fist on the table, his eyes red as he stared at the security guards. "Assholes, what on earth do you do? All the artifacts in the museum disappeared overnight, and now you're telling me the national flag is gone. If it's gone, won't you go look for it?"
The security guard said with a stiff upper lip, "It's not lost, it's..."
Mark Jones: "What is it?"
Security guard: "It was burned. There are still traces of burns on the flagpole."
Mark Jones became even angrier when he heard this.
He knew without thinking that the national flag must have been stolen by someone who stole cultural relics.
Mark Jones was furious. "Damn it! They are so arrogant! They simply don't take Great Britain seriously. I will definitely catch them."
…
On the spaceship.
Cheng Xiaoxiao asked Qu Ying, "Why are you and your brother being hunted by people from the Southern Star Territory?"
Qu Ying pursed her lips and replied, "The Qu family is the ninth-ranked family in the Southern Star Territory. Everything was going well until one day, news spread from the Lin family that the 'Qu family is from Blue Star.' As soon as this news came out, people from the Southern Star Territory immediately set their sights on the Qu family."
"That night, my father led all the clan members out of the Nanxing Star Territory. On the way, he told us that our home was at the bottom of the Blue Star Dragon. The Nanxing Star Territory was one of the participants in the siege of Blue Star. After lurking in the Nanxing Star Territory for so many years, my father had already discovered that the families involved were the fourth-ranked Lin family and the fifth-ranked Wei family."
"Originally, my father planned to bide his time and defeat the two families one by one. However, he didn't expect a spy to sneak into the family and tell the Lin family everything. As a result, my father's plan failed and he had to flee with his family."
Cheng Xiaoxiao frowned, "What about the spy?"
Qu Ying smiled and said, "Of course he was killed by my father. No one wanted to leave. After all, the Fire Dragon Clan is very warlike."
Cheng Xiaoxiao was curious, "What happened next?"
"Later?" Qu Heng answered from the side, "Later, father persuaded them with both reason and emotion."
Cheng Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows.
Do you think I believe it?
Based on what I know about the characteristics of the Fire Dragon Clan, I might believe you when you say that your father gave them "love education."
etc……
It can’t be true, right?
Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Qu Ying, "Isn't it a beating?"
Qu Ying nodded, "Yes, it's just what you think."
Qu Ying pointed at herself and said, "I am one of them."
"Oh." She pointed at Qu Heng again, "My brother too."
Qu Heng touched his nose awkwardly and continued, "After the Qu family left the Southern Star Region, the Lin and Wei families immediately sent people to hunt us down. Later, while fleeing, we accidentally became separated from our clan members. Unfortunately, we ran into Lin Jie, Wei Feng, and the others who had taken on the family's mission. Their relentless pursuit left my brother and me with nowhere to escape, so we could only follow the coordinates to Blue Star."
Qu Heng looked at Grandma Qu with gratitude and said, "Then, I met you."
