This small rabbit head was not too unfamiliar to her, and could even be said to be familiar, because her hairpin was of this shape.
Xu Xianxian glanced at her sister next to her and found that she was completely engrossed in the TV series. She then took off the hairpin from her hair, placed it on the newspaper, and compared it with the pattern in the photo.
It took about a minute, and with Xu Xianxian's mental arithmetic ability, she roughly determined that the two were carved from the same mold except for the size and proportions.
Of course, this alone cannot indicate any deep connection. After all, rabbit heads are so common. There are always similar rabbits on small accessories and toys.
"Although there's no definitive evidence, my intuition suggests that this hairpin might actually be related to ancient ruins, or even be a product unearthed from them."
Xu Xianxian put the hairpin back in her hair, thinking silently in her heart.
As we all know, human civilization in the AD era had an extremely highly developed level of technology, and had even successfully left the earth and entered the entire solar system.
Electricity, which is extremely precious in this era, is just the most basic and common power source used in the Western Age. According to rumors, humans in the Western Age also mastered nuclear power, solar power, and even cutting-edge technology that used mental power as energy. These are ancient technologies that the Federal Parliament is eager to revive.
High school students who have studied classical history are familiar with humanity's most glorious era. However, they also know that during that peak human era, world wars among the ancient nations of Inner Earth destroyed everything that had once flourished, bringing human civilization to the brink of extinction. Even the human renaissance of the New Era took nearly two hundred years of exploration and replication to barely restore a basic level of science and technology, and today it's only at the level of the early 21st century.
The location of Nanwuzhou is the remains of the ancient country "India" of the old times, but its area is naturally less than one-third of what it was more than four hundred years ago. After all, most of the land is either polluted or completely sunken.
The entire Xia Federation is a collection of one of the seven ancient continents, most of "Asia". Its area, population and territory are the largest in the world today, and it is a hegemonic power.
"The early Dark Ages lasted for 150 years, and civilization was already broken. It's only been a little over 200 years now, and many things aren't even recorded in the classics. Relying solely on newspapers and the like to understand the ancient world, it's impossible to get a complete picture." Xu Xianxian fell into deep thought. "Furthermore, the Parliament has extremely strict controls on information related to the ruins. Even mysterious individuals like Zhang Wen can't be found in any books. If I really want to investigate related matters, I must start from the places I am qualified to access."
Xu Xianxian had a hunch that if she could find out the details of the rabbit hairpin, she might be able to gain greater benefits.
But now... she couldn't enter the ancient ruins. They were surrounded by a barrier. If anyone broke in illegally, they would be taken away and investigated by the parliament's special department. Just because she was physically stronger, she wanted to challenge the state apparatus?
It's simply a pipe dream.
Since this approach doesn't work, the primary goal at this stage is to understand the mysterious figures like the Force users and martial artists mentioned by Zhang Wen.
Xu Xianxian had never heard of Force users, and couldn't even tell what kind of special group they were, but martial artists... she seemed to have heard some information about them.
After all, there are several martial arts halls in Hongjing City, right near the university town of this city.
She thought about it and decided to go out and collect information instead of staying at home and watching these meaningless soap operas.
Xu Xianxian didn't buy a computer. Although it only cost a few thousand yuan, it was still too expensive for her family.
But these days, Internet cafes and university reading rooms all offer computer information searches or entertainment games, but they all charge by the hour.
She thought about it, then immediately went back to the bedroom, took out her wallet, looked at the several thousand yuan she had earned from Li Xiaobing yesterday, took out a hundred-yuan bill, put it in her pocket, and prepared to go out.
"Sister, are you going out? You don't even want to watch Sweet Love?"
Bai Zhen'er's face flushed as she watched TV. She seemed to notice her sister's movement, took a deep breath, then turned to look at her sister who was standing in the living room putting on her coat, and asked curiously.
"Let's read it next time. I'm going to the reading room now to look up some study materials. I'll be back by lunch time. If Mom comes back first, please tell her."
Xu Xianxian glanced at the soap opera on TV, a trace of speechlessness flashed in her eyes, and she explained to her sister.
Then he put on a loose white sweatshirt and a black baseball cap to reduce the cuteness of his appearance as much as possible.
But now this outfit makes her look cool and cute.
Her excuse was absolutely impeccable. In everyone's impression, Xu Xianxian was a good child who loved to study. It was perfectly normal for her to go to the reading room and use the computer to look up study materials.
"...Okay, then be safe out there."
Bai Zhen'er watched her sister walk to the entrance to change her shoes. A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but she nodded on the surface, said nothing, and continued to watch TV.
Pop.
The door closed.
At this time, Bai Zhen'er's expression became a little dissatisfied, and the blush on her face gradually faded. Then she glanced at Nicholas Zhao Si's firm and beautiful profile, rolled her eyes coquettishly, pressed the remote control and turned off the TV.
Normally, whenever I get engrossed in watching TV series, I take the opportunity to hold my sister on my lap, but today this plan failed.
