There were also rattles inlaid with tiny pearls (with layers inside), and stuffed dolls stuffed with special spices (the aroma had a mild hallucinogenic effect)... Luo's face paled further and further, and cold sweat drenched her back. How could this be a toy box? It was clearly a miniature armory and intelligence station, packaged as a sweet fairy tale!
"Madam! General! This is bad!" Ah Luo rushed into the main courtyard, carrying those "poisonous toys" in her arms. Her voice was filled with tears and uncontrollable anger. "They...they have such vicious hearts! They actually sent these things to His Highness Ling!"
---
In the main hall of the general's mansion, the atmosphere was like an ice lake that had been frozen in an instant. The warmth of the dining room just now was gone.
On the table lay the poisonous toys Ah Luo had discovered. A Beidi rattle had been carefully disassembled, revealing its delicate reeds and microscopic gear mechanism—a miniature scroll of blueprints for a new Beidi repeating crossbow mechanism! A Xiling cloth tiger's belly had been completely dissected, revealing dozens of delicate scrolls of silk, detailing the names, contacts, and immediate action plans of Xiling's operatives in the royal city and surrounding counties! A Nanjiang teething stick had its surface scraped back, revealing strange incantations carved into its rosewood core and soaked in a special medicinal solution! An Donghuang exquisite ball had been disassembled, its internal mechanism revealed to be the prototype of a complex cipher.
Each one is wrapped in a sweet and harmless sugar coating, but contains deadly arsenic inside!
Su Li's face turned ashen, her fingers gripped the edge of the table tightly, her knuckles turning white, her chest heaving violently, and anger almost bursting out of her eyes: "Shameless! Despicable! They didn't even let go of a baby in swaddling clothes! They used toys as a cover to do such dirty things! They wanted to steal secrets! They wanted to cast a curse! They wanted to kill my Ling'er!" Her voice trembled slightly with extreme anger.
Xiao Jue sat at the head of the table, his Guihong ruler already half an inch unsheathed! A cold, murderous aura permeated the air like a physical substance, sending the temperature plummeting throughout the hall. His deep eyes no longer held the vicissitudes of life, but instead held a condensed, icy murderous intent. The lingering malice directed at his young daughter from those toys pierced his reverse scale like the most poisonous needle!
Lingbao seemed disturbed by her mother's anger and her father's cold murderous aura. Her little mouth pursed and she burst into tears. Su Li suppressed her anger and quickly hugged her daughter in her arms, coaxing her gently, but the coldness in her eyes did not fade at all.
Chen Bao Su Chen clutched his abacus, his face tense as the beads clashed silently at a frantic pace, a dazzling golden light. He frantically scanned and analyzed every "toxic toy" on the table, its structure, residual energy, possible triggering mechanisms, and underlying connections! This time, the enemy had touched his bottom line—his sister's safety!
Second child Su Heng was frightened by Lingbao's cries and Ah Luo's panic. His mouth pursed, and he subconsciously stuffed his golden pacifier into his mouth for comfort. Tears welled up in his big eyes. "Bad guy! You broke your sister's toy! You made your sister cry!"
Sanbao Su Yu clung to A'Luo's legs, his face pale as he stared at the disassembled toys on the table, their hideous interiors exposed. Too frightened to speak. How did my sister's toys... become like this?
"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!" Su Li's voice was like tempered ice. "All toys, clothing, and supplies that have been received recently in the mansion and are of suspicious origin, leave nothing behind, and thoroughly investigate them all! Ah Luo, you personally lead your men to the Lingbao Room now and clear out everything that wasn't purchased by us!"
"Yes, Madam!" A'Luo wiped her tears and rushed out in a hurry with a few trusted maids.
Soon, more "surprises" were cleared out, filling up half the hall: bibs embroidered with miniature array diagrams, cloth books with miniature poison needle bags hidden in the interlayer, silver bell anklets inlaid with eavesdropping arrays, and even a box of "calming" moisturizing ointment that slowly releases paralyzing toxins after application... The variety of things is so dazzling and shocking!
How could this be considered early childhood education? It was clearly an all-around, no-holds-barred assassination and infiltration targeting infants!
"Good...very good!" Su Li laughed in anger, looking at the mountain of "evidence" with a cold fire burning in his eyes. "The four countries joined forces to give my daughter a 'special agent crash course'! I, Su Li, will remember this 'generous gift'!"
Xiao Jue slowly sheathed the Guihong Ruler. The cold, murderous aura receded, but the chill in his eyes only intensified. He walked over to the pile of "poison toys," his gaze sweeping over each item like the most precise chisel. Finally, he bent down and, from among the scattered secret letters of the Xiling Cloth Tiger, picked up a small piece of bamboo (originally used to write secret letters), which had been unconsciously gnawed by Lingbao and was stained with saliva and tiny teeth marks.
The edge of the bamboo piece was gnawed rough by Lingbao's little baby teeth, and there seemed to be some vague ink residue soaked with saliva on it.
"Chen'er." Xiao Jue's voice was low, and his emotions were invisible. "Analyze this piece of bamboo and... any traces that Ling'er might have left when he bit it."
Chen Bao immediately focused the golden light of his abacus onto the tiny piece of bamboo. The beads danced rapidly, analyzing the bamboo's material, the composition of the ink, the force and angle of the bite... and those imperceptible traces of Ling Bao's chaotic aura.
After a moment, a hint of surprise flashed in Chen Bao's eyes!
"Dad! Mom! Look!" He moved his little hand on the abacus, and a golden light was projected out, revealing an extremely complex picture made up of lines and dots!
At first glance, the drawing appears chaotic and disorganized, like a child's doodle. But if you observe it from a specific angle and at the key points marked on the Chenbao abacus, the ink marks blurred by Lingbao's nibbling, the traces of saliva, and the texture of the bamboo itself are strangely combined, extended, and reconstructed!
