Chapter 44: Black Crystal

"What is this?"

Mai Zhuo leaned limply back on the sofa, playing with her hair, and after a long time she replied in a languid tone:

"What's this..... You don't have to worry about it, you just need to know that this black hedron will give you and your teammates power. ”

With that, Mai Zhuo got up, placed the black hedron on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and walked slowly towards the door.

As she reached the door, Mai Zhuo suddenly let out an "oh", and turned back to Claire as if she had suddenly remembered something:

"I almost forgot, little brother, if you want to use it, you just need to take it with you, I really hope that little brother you can win~"

After saying this meaningfully, Mai Zhuo disappeared from Claire's eyes with a catwalk.

After making sure that Mai Zhuo was gone, Claire quickly stood up, then rushed to the door and closed the door with a bang, and after piling many things at the door, Claire wiped the sweat from her forehead and collapsed on the sofa with a slight ease.

The TV was still playing, and it had reached the climax, but Claire, who was slumped on the couch at this point, clearly didn't have her eyes on the TV.

Claire was staring intently at the black hedron that Mai Zhuo had just put down, and the originally clear thoughts in her mind were a little cloudy because she continued to focus on the stone.

Looking at it, Claire's hand couldn't help but want to reach over and pick up the black stone. Suddenly, Claire's whole body was agitated, and he came to his senses, and looked at the stone that seemed to be full of magic with some horror.

Claire, who suddenly woke up, couldn't take any more rest, and immediately he quickly took out a hot water bottle from the small kitchen of this suite, then put on the rubber gloves that came with the kitchen, grabbed the stone and threw it directly into the hot water bottle, and quickly corked the bottle.

It was only then that Claire was truly relieved. He had now calmed down, and without the interference of the black hedron on him, his thoughts gradually began to become clear.

It took a long time for Claire to sort out her thoughts, and the following points made him wonder:

1. What is Mak Zhuo's identity? Is her identity really as she says, just a small employee with a little special authority?

2. Why did that inconspicuous-looking stone attract him like a drug attracts addicts?

3. Why didn't Mai Zhuo pick other teams to send this stone, but chose his team?

Claire didn't think there was anything special about her team, and she didn't think anyone in the team had the charm to make this dangerous beautiful snake send a gift to help.

Wait, it seems.....

Claire suddenly remembered what Mai Zhuo said when she was beaten into the ward by Mai Zhuo before, and Mai Zhuo laughed at him: I will always pay attention to you, little brother~

In this way, he is the reason why he is targeted by Mai Zhuo? By the way, the woman just said that I was very handsome when I stepped on the female Muay Thai fighter in the ring, could it be that this thing that I don't remember at all was one of the reasons why she paid further attention to me?

After thinking about it, Claire, who still had no clue, put aside the cluttered thoughts in her head, and planned to bring this stone to Colonel Sidon tomorrow to show them, and let them give suggestions or something by the way, after all, although he is as wise as he is, if you want to talk about suggestions and discussions, you still can't compare to the three stinky fart makers (Colonel Sidon's muscles burst out: Boy, you pay attention to me, beware that I let you be an agent for the rest of your life)

Claireton stopped thinking about the black hedron in the thermos and began to concentrate on watching the TV show.

However, after a while, the knock on the door sounded again, and a faint female voice came from outside the door:

"Sir, the Chinese set meal you ordered has arrived, please open the door."

Claire looked at the piles of things in the doorway with a twitch on her face, and she had to start packing them up as she complained bitterly.

The next day, in the morning

Claire, who hadn't slept well all night last night, didn't even eat breakfast with dark circles under her eyes, and rushed straight to the place where the Brazilian mercenaries were with the hot water bottle with the black hedron in it.

However, when Claire arrived at the door of the dilapidated little building, he smelled a strange scent.

Claire, who already had a hunch, took a deep breath, and then slowly pushed open the iron door.

Claire's eyes were greeted by a full house, and through the stunned expressions of Ralph and Colonel Seaton, Claire knew that the group had not expected her arrival at all.

Casually putting down the thermos bottle she was holding, Claire turned around and threw herself directly to the table and began to eat.

Seeing Claire, who had just arrived, unceremoniously began to eat her own breakfast, Ralph, who was originally stunned, suddenly screamed, and then began to start a cruel and fierce war with Claire for food.

Colonel Sidon silently finished his breakfast, then wiped his mouth unhurriedly, and swept his eagle-sharp eyes over the two who were still fighting for food, and Claire and Ralph stopped the farce.

Claire saw that the three of them looked at her with some doubts, and she didn't sell it, and directly began to tell about the process of getting this black crystal, and introduced the feeling of the crystal in this hot water bottle. Claire didn't tell Colonel Sidon everything about them, for example, the meeting with Maddro was not the only one, and he had a hunch that if he talked too much to Colonel Sidon, he would get into trouble.

After listening to Claire's account, Colonel Seaton did not speak, but only touched his chin thoughtfully. However, Ralph, who had just had some conflict with Claire, didn't care. He snorted and said with a big grin:

"Afraid of what? Could it be that this broken stone can still be eaten, and we can't do it? Wouldn't it be okay to just take it out and study it? “

Colonel Seaton pondered for a moment, waved his hand to stop Clarke, who wanted to step forward and open the thermos, and then said in a calm but unquestionable tone:

"Wait, it's definitely going to be seen, but it's hard to guarantee that nothing will happen if you take it out like this, so let's do it, Ralph, you put it in the lab and let those people study it."

After instructing Ralph to tell them, Colonel Seaton turned to Claire and said:

"You're doing a good job, if there's anything else, Agent Claire will report it to you."

With that, Colonel Seaton walked over to a cardboard box and took out a gray trench coat from it.
