When George saw the necklace, he was stunned, and he didn't care about covering his face, so he quickly rushed to Chen Aili and stared at her chest. A neck rope woven with brown silk thread was tied to a hexagonal brown and white nine-eyed stone, the size of an adult man's index finger, the nine-eyed stone was polished smooth, and the eye pattern on it was exquisite and unique, with clear lines, which simply did not look like it grew out of the stone. The ends of the nine-eyed stone are wrapped in two small pieces of black iron sleeves, and the iron sleeves are engraved with dense symbols.

"Dharma Eye Dzi!" George recognized it at a glance. As a teenager, George had seen it on the desk of his grandfather Alex Hecate, and he hoped that his grandfather would give it to him, but his grandfather refused. It is said that this is a sacred relic from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China, and the nine-eyed stone and the black iron are both extraterrestrial and extremely precious. What's even more amazing in the legend is that the "Dharma Eye Dzi" is a necessary artifact for some kind of mysterious ritual, which can drive away evil spirits and suppress demons and so on. Old Hecate did not understand its meaning until he died, and George had not seen it since that time. When the elder Hecate died, George also deliberately reviewed the inventory of the estate, and found no trace of the "Dharma Eye Dzi". "I didn't expect that! Unexpected! Looks like this treasure should be mine. Grandpa, you would never have imagined it. George felt a pang of joy in his heart.

He ordered someone to take off the necklace around Chen Aili's neck. Chen Aili didn't expect them to be interested in this simple ornament, no one told her that this necklace was very valuable?

"Where did you get this chain from?" While playing with the dzi, George asked Chen Aili sternly, and his tone was gloomy.

"When you go shopping, you buy it from a small vendor, so you can take it if you want. Anyway, there are a lot of such necklaces in China's commercial streets, and they are not expensive. Chen Aili pretended to be innocent, and sneezed as she spoke.

When she said this, she confused George. Could it be that I think too much, it's just an imitation, China's counterfeiting technology is superb, and it is not difficult to imitate a necklace. Besides, if time goes by, will your memory be wrong?

George was thinking about it, and Chen Aili was crying on the side, crying and shouting that she was a student, and she didn't know how she could be treated like this, etc. George interrupts her impatiently and threatens to punish her harsher if she argues any more. Chen Aili pretended to be scared and said nothing.

When George approached, Chen Aili carefully looked at his face and recognized that this was the big boss of the Hecate Group, it turned out that he was the conspiracy behind the scenes, they first secretly investigated Li Guanghan in China, and then colluded with Dr. Emmons to attract Li Guanghan to country F, and intended to find out the secret of Li Guanghan. But how could such a big boss be interested in the necklace he has worn since childhood? When she was a child, she refused to wear stones and iron because they didn't look good. It's foggy. Fortunately, he sneaked into Dr. Emmons's office tonight and handed over the USB flash drive to Zeng Yunfei in time. Thinking of this, Chen Aili felt a lot more comfortable, but Li Guanghan, a nerd, couldn't find himself, would he run around on his own?

George rushed over because he saw the familiar necklace, and his attention was all on the "Dharma Eye Dzi", but he forgot to look at Chen Aili's face clearly, because her face was covered with wet hair, fortunately. I don't know if this "Dharma Eye Dzi" is blessing her?

George instructed the shadows to continue the interrogation, but to be careful, he didn't want dead people in the castle. George took William back to the study, where he took a magnifying glass to examine the dzi closely, but could not draw a conclusion for a while. He instructed William to take Chen Aili's necklace to the geological testing center early tomorrow morning to test the composition and identify the age, the sooner the better.

25 The fortress was breached from within

George took William from the basement back to the study, looking at Chen Aili's necklace as he walked, and showed it to William. This scene is monitored by the internal security cameras of the castle, which is also a regular internal surveillance, and it is under George's control, so he and William are very relaxed. And George's cousin, Elizabeth Hecate, was watching the scene from her own suite in the castle. Deciphering the code and hacking into an internal security system is not a difficult task for a Ph.D. in mathematics and computer science.

Dressed in a silk nightgown and holding a computer, she was half-lying on the soft sofa and looking through the surveillance footage of the castle. She noticed that a commercial vehicle had entered the castle late at night with four men and a woman, and the woman had been knocked unconscious and carried into the basement. Elizabeth had just gotten off the plane and rushed over to talk to her cousin George and Dr. Emmons, and she was already very tired, but when she saw this scene, she suddenly sobered up. She stared at the computer screen for fear of missing a detail.

She saw George and William also go into the basement, and an hour later, the two men came out with a necklace in their hands, and looked at them as they went. Freeze frame, enlarge and magnify again, "Nine-eyed stone plus heavenly iron, unique pattern, quaint shape, isn't this 'Dharma Eye Dzi'?"

The unknown origin of the "Dharma Eye Dzi" has left a deep impression on this generation of the Hecate family, and it is said that it can ward off evil spirits and connect with the gods. When the children heard the legend, they were all curious and wanted to keep it for themselves, but Grandpa Hecate just didn't let go. Until the death of my grandfather, the clan did not know its whereabouts, and it was not written in the inheritance, which made the younger generations worry about it for a long time. How did you end up here now? Could it be the woman who carried it into the basement? Could it be fake? Elizabeth recalled, pondered. Such a good opportunity is in front of her, she is talented and empty-eyed, she looks down on George from the bottom of her heart, if this baby is real, then she wants it too. She decided to find an excuse to stay in the castle tomorrow and watch a good show, preferably to make a profit.

Chen Aili was tied to a chair and shivered from the cold, only the strong light on her body could still bring some warmth. No matter how the shadows interrogated her, she insisted that she was an ordinary international student. Her lips were blue from the cold, and her tongue was not good when she spoke. A dark figure approached Chen Aili, who was tied to an iron chair, and used the tip of a knife to pick open the sticky hair on her head, revealing a young and beautiful face. The shadow swallowed, the tip of the knife continuing to slide across her bare neck. Several dark shadows let out a few sinister laughs. Seeing that she was about to break the last button, Chen Aili cried out with a "wow".
