Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Skull Mystery (Part II)

As mentioned above, Professor Lui's glass cabinet is missing.

Professor Lu was so anxious to walk around, such a valuable item was stolen under his nose, and there was no reason to refute it if he said that he was not strictly supervised, but he didn't understand a little, who stole the skull, and how did he know that there was a skull here? Just when Professor Lu was at a loss, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something under the lampshade, he walked over to take a look, and found that there was a bugging device stuck to it.

Professor Lu directly picked it off, looked at it, threw it on the ground and stepped on it twice.

Professor Lu here is still in a state of anger, and a black car has already driven onto the main road, and only a few people know the destination. On the back seat of the sedan was a glass case with a skull inside.

The black sedan stopped at an intersection with a red light in front of it, and in order not to make any extraneous branches, the black sedan did not rush through the red light. While the black sedan was quietly waiting for the red light to count down, a police car drove by.

Professor Lu has called the police, and the police are on their way.

The black sedan drove into the entrance of an underground parking lot, and it is unknown who it was going to meet.

The police officers called by Professor Lu only took a few photos around the table, and there was no useful evidence left at the scene, and the police were not interested, so they hurriedly brushed off their clothes.

After several changes, the glass case containing the skull came into the hands of a collector.

Yes, this is a deposit, and after the matter is completed, you are indispensable.

The collector pushed a check over, took a puff on his cigar, and looked at the one with sunglasses across from him.

Okay, I advise you to make a move as soon as possible, this is a hot potato, and it will burn you if you hold it in your hand for a long time.

Rest assured, within three days, I will transfer the rest to your bank account.

Well, in that case, then I won't stay any longer and take my leave.

Okay, don't send it slowly.

The two spoke decisively and resolutely, and their movements in sunglasses were sonorous and powerful, and they felt full of power.

After the sunglasses left, the collector pressed the call button and said, "Come out." Then, I saw an invisible door open on the side wall, and out of it came two men in black suits, the thin and tall one walked in front, looked at the glass cabinet on the table, walked up to the collector, took a piece of paper from his breast pocket, and placed it on the table.

The collector picked up the paper from the table, looked at it, and tossed it aside.

I would like to ask, how much do you think is the right price for such a ticket?

You...... Don't you use it yourself? You're going to sell?

The shorter and chubby man in a black suit behind him poked his head out in surprise.

Of course, this ticket is worthless to me, but it may be worth tens of millions to someone else.

Okay, we've already given you this ticket anyway, so we've cleared it up, and if nothing else, we'll go.

Okay, please.

The collector stood up, ready to give it away.

You just have to stand up, and we all feel like we're losing a ticket to you with your fat body.

Hehe, then you go slowly.

The collector sat back in his chair before he could stand up straight.

The two people from the immigration committee who saw the glass case leave couldn't help but smack their lips, picked up the ticket again, and kissed it vigorously. It took him five million dollars to buy the ticket he got from the glass case, and now he had to make a lot of money anyway, selling him tens of millions.

The thought of a large number of banknotes falling on his head from the sky made the collector excited to think about it, and he couldn't help but smirk.

The actions of the two members of the immigration committee were watched by some people, and as soon as they got into the car, a car followed them not far behind. The car was following closely, and the distance was slowly shortening. Just as the two cars were about to collide, a car suddenly flew out of the intersection next to it and crashed directly into the immigration board's car. The car that was chasing after quickly braked so that it did not collide.

Due to the force of the collision, the Immigration Board car slid sideways from one side to the other, breaking not only a street lamp, but also into a shop on the side of the road. The gasoline in the car had already flowed all over the place, and the sparks generated during the collision directly ignited the gasoline on the ground.

Suddenly, the car in the store was on fire, and the two people in the car who had fainted were awakened by the heat wave, but their bodies were stuck in their seats and couldn't move, so they hurriedly shouted for help outside the car. But the fire spread too fast, the fire was too big, no one dared to step forward, dared to approach, and could only watch the two people in the car being burned alive.

By the time the fire engine arrived, the car was almost burning, but the fire in the store was very large. It took a long time for the fire engine to put out the fire. Basically, this store is also finished, and it will either be relocated or renovated. While examining the wreckage of the car, firefighters dug through a glass cabinet with a horrific skull inside.

After a while, the police came, took a few witnesses, took a few notes, and left with the glass case. The perpetrators took advantage of the crowd to flee before the fire trucks arrived.

Professor Lu received a phone call saying that the glass cabinet had been found and asked him to come to the police station to pick it up. After hanging up the phone, Professor Lu couldn't believe that the police were so efficient, and they had only been found in the past two days.

The glass cabinet was left unattended in the lost and found, covered with a cloth because the skull inside was too hideous and scary. At this time, a man wearing sunglasses walked over, looked left and right, directly picked up the glass cabinet, and simply wrote a few false messages when he left, and left the police station, and no one suspected or stopped him during the whole process.

When Professor Lu arrived at the police station, he found that the glass cabinet had been taken away by "himself" a few minutes ago.

What the? What do you police do? You can't see that someone is imposting?

Professor Lui yelled at the police station and was eventually kicked out by the police. Professor Lu, who was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, stamped his feet vigorously, disappointed in the police.

The immigration commissioner over there had received the news and sent someone out to find the missing glass case.

Now the glass case was in the hands of another collector, who waited quietly for the people of the immigration board.

Drinking hot tea, he looked at the glass cabinet on the table, looked up at the door, waited for a few minutes for the shaking of the house to calm down, and then with a bang, a man and a woman walked in.

Have a seat.

The collector pointed to the couch next to him, got up and walked over.

The woman who was walking behind saw the glass cabinet on the table, and was about to walk over when the man in front of her grabbed her, gave her a few looks, and told her to give it to him next.

Hello, I'm ......

I know who you are and what you are here for today.

You...... You know we are...... Is it from the Immigration Board?

Well, I guess you two have only joined for a short time, otherwise I wouldn't know each other.

Oh? You...... Are you also a member of the committee?

Yes, to be precise, I am a member of the Immigration Board.

The collector said this proudly, he had never been so proud when he was mayor of the town.

Okay, then since this is the case, and since you know the purpose of our placement, then we won't bother, you go and get the cabinet.

Wait! I didn't say I'm going to give you the glass case.

Can...... But didn't you say you were a member of the committee?

The man stood up and looked at the collector in confusion.

These are two different things, and I paid some price for getting this glass cabinet, so do you just want to take it without giving anything?

But we've ...... before.

Don't speak.

The man quickly stopped the woman from talking.

What do you want?

The collector holds out two fingers.

Million?

The collector shook his finger.

Two hundred million?

The collector shook his finger again.

Well, you just say, what exactly do you want?

Two ferry tickets.

This...... I'm afraid we can't be the master yet, oh, please wait a minute.

Before the man could finish speaking, he received a phone call asking him to agree to the collector's request first.

After the phone call, the man agreed to the collector's request and said that someone would bring the two tickets in a moment, and left with the glass case.

The collector smiled slightly, and his heart suddenly felt much more comfortable, it seemed that his membership status was still useful.

A few days later, just when the committee thought everything was settled, a serious accident occurred in the laboratory. It turned out that after the committee took the glass cabinet back, they handed it over to several scientists for study, but they didn't expect this study to find out something. The moment they opened the glass case, a puff of gray smoke emerged from the eyes above the skull. The smoke didn't feel right as soon as it touched people's gloves, and the gloves were corroded in just a few seconds, and the fingers inside were even more fragile, and in an instant only white bones remained. Before the unlucky three scientists could shout for help, they hula suddenly turned into white bones.

By the time the alarm sounded, it was already too late, and the people were stunned when they hurried to the outside of the laboratory, only to see three skeletons scattered on the ground inside, and a cloud of gray-white smoke floating in the air, and then burrowing into the eyes of the skull on the table.

After a while, the outside of the laboratory was full of people, pointing to the ground and saying something.

Find someone to seal this place off first, and tell everyone that without my permission, no one is allowed to open the door of the laboratory, let alone enter the laboratory without permission.

Yes, Minister.

The man who was called the minister was the boss of the scientific research department of the committee, known as Little Newton, or Xiao Niu for short, commonly known as Lao Niu. Nickname unknown.

Lao Niu touched his chin, feeling that things were a little tricky, after all, he was desperately asking to get this skull in his hands, but now there was such a bad thing in his hands.

There were three surveillance cameras in the laboratory that captured the terrifying minutes of the laboratory, and the video, which was only a few minutes long, went viral among the crowd and was even posted online, and for a time, the committee was caught in the midst of many media condemnations.

Lao Niu had to stand up and explain this. It didn't take long for the ins and outs of this skull to be pulled out by someone with a heart. When people saw the news, Professor Lui was teaching students in the classroom.

After class, Professor Lu looked at his mobile phone, and his body and mind were greatly affected, and he suddenly sat down on the ground. Students passing by hurriedly ran over to help Professor Lu.

Professor Lu, who was taken to the hospital, was lying in the ambulance, feeling that the whole world had collapsed, and his favorite student Xiao He had disappeared, and the most terrifying thing was that the skull was found at that time. If the skull had been there all along, Xiao He would have found it a long time ago, so why didn't he find it until the others had passed? It shows that the skull has only recently appeared, and with the mysterious disappearance of Xiao He, Professor Lu has already guessed a rough idea.

Lao Niu on the other side was very busy, and the speakers of the committee also talked to Lao Niu one after another, and even the chairman asked him to come over to drink tea and talk about his heart, which scared Lao Niu to feel that the end of the world was coming.

After a few days, the old cow decided to put the troublesome skull back in the glass case, but he didn't know how to put the skull in the glass case. And so, a huge experiment began.

Experiment 1: A living mouse and a mechanical mouse were placed in the lab at the same time.

Observations: Gray smoke erupted when the two mice were released into the lab at the same time, splitting into two clouds of smoke and heading towards the subject. The living mouse was reduced to a bone in a matter of seconds, and another mechanical mouse was reduced to a fragment after a few more seconds, and the parts inside rusted, corroded and festered within a matter of seconds.

Experiment 2: A living mouse and a dead mouse were placed in the lab at the same time.

Observations: As in Experiment 1, the gray-white smoke also came out, but only split into a clump, the living mice turned into bones, and the dead mice were unharmed, not eroded by the gray-white smoke.

Experiment 3: A live mouse and a live mouse in a sealed box were placed in the laboratory at the same time.

Observations: Gray-white smoke continued as usual, with only a single clump emanating from it, while the mouse in a sealed box was still alive, and the one outside the box had been reduced to a cloud of bones.

Final Conclusion: The off-white smoke emitted from the skull only senses moving objects. It doesn't matter if this moving object is organism or inorganic.

No one objected to the conclusion of this experiment, and Lao Niu felt that there was no negligence, so he was ready to use this point for the next step. However, there is a paradoxical problem: since the gray smoke does not attack stationary objects, how can the skull be packed in a glass case?

After thinking about it, Lao Niu couldn't think of a solution.

At this point, someone proposed, why not use a remote-controlled robot to do this?

Hearing this proposal, Lao Niu patted his head, yes, why didn't he think of such a simple question? Because Lao Niu has always taken the premise that people want to enter the laboratory, this makes Lao Niu ignore the existence of robots.

So, a remote-controlled robot slowly leaned on a pair of tracks and got into the laboratory. As soon as I came in, a cloud of smoke came out. Seeing this, the remote-controlled robot immediately stopped in place, and even the motor inside stopped, without making a sound at all. Then, the smoke was seen floating in the air for a while before returning to the skull. At this time, the robot starts again, getting closer and closer. Whenever the smoke floats out, the robot will stop moving, and then the gray smoke will drive itself back into its bones. In this way, back and forth, the robot approached the glass cabinet in small steps. Eventually, with a click, the glass cabinet closed, and no matter how the robot moved, the gray smoke did not fly out again.

Yes!

Outside the lab, people high-fived and cheered in celebration.

But who was the first to walk into the lab? People tilted their heads to look at the old cow.

Ahem, don't, right?

The old cow was encouraged by a group of people, and he couldn't get down, so he could only open the door of the laboratory carefully. As soon as a crack was opened, the old cow hurriedly closed it again, for fear that the smoke would suddenly come out. Unfortunately, it didn't. So, Lao Niu became bold, pushed open the door of the laboratory, and walked in.

At this point, the laboratory turmoil is over. The glass cabinet containing the skull was also secretly transported and placed in a place unknown to anyone.

Just when the skull had been forgotten, several strange things and horrific statements spread through the crowd.

As for what the strange thing is, don't worry, we'll see in a few minutes......
