Gao Chen: “…”
Gao Chen was silent. This was the umpteenth time he had been silent today.
It's clear they are overrated.
Although the Investigation Bureau discovered the abnormality in Xidu nearly two months ago.
I know that the concentration of spiritual energy near Mount Li has increased abnormally, and I also know that something special has happened in the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.
But who would have guessed that the First Emperor would come back to life?!
There is also the imperial seal. Now no one knows what it is used for or why the First Emperor wanted to find it when he came back to life.
If it were not mentioned by the First Emperor, this jade bi would have long been regarded as a legend.
"Wait, Your Majesty, could it be that the Imperial Seal is in the foggy area?"
Gao Chen suddenly discovered the hidden message in the words of the First Emperor.
No wonder the First Emperor used three bronze gates to screen them out. It turned out that he was looking for thugs who could search for treasure in the foggy area!
The First Emperor nodded approvingly: "That's right."
Gao Chen lowered his head and thought.
"According to Yin..., the fog zone is different from other extraordinary events. It is a purely foreign object. It is impossible for the imperial seal from the Great Qin to exist."
There is no doubt about this, as he and other colleagues from the survey bureau have confirmed it when exploring the foggy area.
Although as time goes by, the fog area is suspected to have "assimilated" with the blue star, making language and writing communication between the two sides no longer a problem.
But the differences in cultural background cannot be changed.
They can only be visitors from outer space or other worlds.
"If we want to find the Imperial Seal... we can only find it among the people who have strayed into the foggy area."
Everyone has experienced firsthand what kind of creatures the locals of Lingxi City are and how hostile they are to outsiders.
In other words, they are not targeting outsiders. The locals are also fighting each other for an invisible resource called "Spirit Coin".
The strong survive, this is the current situation in Lingxi City.
The owner of the jade seal has most likely met with an accident. Even if not, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack in the huge Lingxi City.
This decision is likely to involve the amount of information that can be obtained during subsequent negotiations with the First Emperor, and it is difficult to refuse.
After hesitating, Gao Chen gave an answer that was neither agree nor refuse.
"Your Majesty, I need to discuss this with my companions."
"allow."
allow……
Gao Chen's mouth twitched.
Talking to the ancients is really awkward in every way.
But I can't care about so much right now.
Gao Chen turned around immediately.
"How do you feel?"
Gao Chen was familiar with most of the people present who could hear what was said.
For example, his team members Xu Xiaolin and Ning Tao are three students from Peking University.
And Ye Li, who was the first to rescue the wounded.
Although the other party's origin is still uncertain, he was able to spot Feng Feng and others in the dark in an emergency and provide rescue. It was initially judged that he was a kind and enthusiastic person.
Their opinions are all meaningful to Gao Chen.
"The First Emperor is truly alive..." Xu Xiaolin's tense nerves twitched. "I still find it unbelievable."
Although the extraordinary itself is full of unknowns, she had never dreamed of having a conversation with a person who lived two thousand years ago.
It's so fantastic, even a little weird!
So much so that she still can't fully believe the other person's identity.
Although the other party's demeanor and bearing really looked like an emperor, like the First Emperor in history books...
Ning Tao smiled and said, "It's not bad. There's no benefit in deceiving us. At least he didn't ask us to transfer money, but to find the imperial seal."
He was just a low-educated anchor before. After joining the Investigation Bureau, he was trained rigorously for several months, but he didn't add anything to the unofficial history that seemed real or fake.
Judging from the attitude of the First Emperor and the history introduced by Gao Chen just now, this thing seems to be quite important.
It is related to the ancient extraordinary civilization.
There is a feeling that the unofficial history is so outrageous that it has usurped the official history.
Ye Li spoke in confusion.
"There's one thing I can't understand. The people who are pulled in are usually tourists or locals working nearby, and they only bring in their personal belongings."
"Who would carry an antique jade seal on their body?"
Ning Tao tilted his head and scratched his face: "Maybe... when the fog area appeared, they were just doing a deal on the Jade Seal, so they brought it here to deliver it?"
"Maybe the jade seal is a family heirloom, so it needs to be carried with you?" Feng Feng guessed.
Gao Chen, Ye Li and others all looked at Feng Feng.
Feng Feng felt anticipation well up in his heart.
"Did I guess right?"
"No, I'm just curious why you made such a guess." Ye Li said from the bottom of her heart.
"Uh... isn't that how it's played out in stories? My mother's last possession and final thought, so I have to carry it with me at all times..."
As he spoke, Feng Feng's voice became softer and softer.
Judging from the expressions of the others, it seemed that they did not agree with his guess.
Ye Li looked at him as if he were a fool.
"Through confirmation from both God Chen and His Majesty, we know that the seal is approximately four inches long, wide, and high. This translates to a little over 13 centimeters, roughly the size of two medium-sized boxes of tissue paper stacked together."
"And it's something like jade, which is heavy and sensitive to bumps. It's not unbearable to carry, but... who would specifically carry such a large object when traveling?"
"Who says heirlooms can't be kept at home? Or that the more important something is, the more carefully it should be guarded when it's taken out."
Feng Feng shut up in disappointment.
He was just stating a possibility.
What if there really is someone with such a stupid brain?
Mai Xuan and Jin Shile looked at him with sympathy.
Mascots like them who were brought along should just serve as background members.
They were already lucky enough to see the living Qin Shi Huang and hear the secrets from two thousand years ago.
Ye Li looked at Gao Chen and his team members again.
"Let's continue discussing the information regarding the antique dealer."
Gao Chen nodded: "Okay, now the character portrait has been initially established. He is still engaged in ordinary occupations such as antique trading. He should still be an ordinary person."
Xu Xiaolin: "Indeed, the First Emperor said that the Jade Seal itself is not an extraordinary item. Those who can collect it are not those who want to step into the ranks of the extraordinary. They are just... ordinary rich people."
Ning Tao was shocked: "Doesn't that mean the other party might have already..."
When they were first pulled into the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, most of the ordinary people traveling with them were injured.
Now that they have been delayed here for so long, the situation of ordinary people will definitely be worse!
"Not necessarily." Xu Xiaolin held her forehead in her hand as she thought, "There have been a lot of outsiders coming to Xidu recently, and... they're very outside."
"If they wanted to find the Imperial Seal, they would probably send a Transcendent. After all, many things are always easier for Transcendents."
