150. The mysterious Crystal Skull
For the first time, she saw a real crystal skull—a lifelike skull shape, smooth and without a single gap, carved directly from a large piece of crystal, as she had read in books in the past, and the cold of the hedron could be felt with the touch of her hand. Such an exquisite craftsmanship is not easy to make even in modern times, not to mention that this crystal skull made in a 1:1 ratio to a human skull was made thousands of years ago! It's incredible......
"Looks like you're really interested in it." Tie Yiran smiled at her.
"This ...... Where was this unearthed? She asked. She grew up loving things like the supernatural, unsolved mysteries, "How did you find something so magical?" "Didn't make a big splash? It's unbelievable.
Tie Yiran patted her on the shoulder to signal her to calm down, "Didn't I say that there is something very special for you to see?" As a result, you didn't even come here until now. ”
"I'd love to come over early, but ...... "There's a lot going on here, and it's only good luck to have the life to see this crystal skull." Anyway, it's a precious artifact, right? Thank you for letting me see. "Even though I paid for the train ticket, it was worth it.
"It's not just crystal skulls, here." Tie Yiran sneered faintly, "Didn't you notice that there aren't many people in the research institute?" There's a reason for that. ”
"Why?" She thought there weren't many people here.
"Well, you'll find out by night." Tie Yiran said.
"Do you want to come at night? Could it be that this place is haunted at night?! "Wow, are there not only unearthed artifacts here, but also ancient corpses that can move? Isn't this a foreign science fiction film?
"What? Scared? Tie Yiran asked with a playful smile.
"Of course." She said angrily.
"There is no scientific evidence that there are ghosts in the world." Tie Yiran laughed.
"On the contrary, there is no scientific evidence that there are no ghosts in the world." She shrugged.
"Oh, I really didn't expect Spike to be so scientific." Tie Yiran smiled, "By the way, don't stare at that crystal skull for too long, there will be problems." Let's go to my lab and have a cup of coffee. ”
"What will go wrong?" She hurriedly followed Tie Yiran and asked a little uneasily.
"Everyone's problems are different." Tie Yiran said vaguely.
"When you say 'different', do you also mean 'someone won't have a problem'?" Tie Yiran and Tie Yirou like to talk without understanding, they really deserve to be brothers and sisters.
"Of course." Tie Yiran nodded and said, "But if everyone has a problem, isn't it the biggest problem if there is no problem?" ”
"Are you sure you're not saying a tongue twister?" Her head was almost dizzy. "What about you? You're the one who didn't have a problem? ”
"Heh, what do you think?" Tie Yiran smiled but did not answer.
How does she know?! She sighed and decided to give up the question.
Tie Yiran's research room was not as spacious as she imagined, about ten square meters, and the furniture inside was only desks and chairs, and the biggest problem was that the office was almost full of books and materials, and there was almost no place to stand. "I said Yiran, your information is not organized, can you find it when you want to find it?" And isn't there a database now? Do you need to search for books all over the world?
"Don't worry, I don't usually pile up like this at all, because the things unearthed this time are too bizarre, so I borrowed a lot of books from the library and came back, and I will sort out the materials and return them today." Tie Yiran said casually, "Find a place to sit, I'll make coffee, there are biscuits in the glass jar in the cabinet, which were baked by Yirou herself." ”
She finally dug a chair out of the stack of books, sat down and waited for the café owner's brother to make coffee - it was the first time she had seen Tie Yiran make food, and when he was in Huizhou, all the food and drink were handled by Yirou.
"Doctor." A female researcher knocked on the door and walked in quickly, "Sorry, you have a guest?" ”
"It's okay, what's the matter?" Tie Yiran asked.
"That...... Xiao Li said that he would take a week off. The female researcher said with a broken head, "It seems that she is in a very bad mental state and cannot continue." ”
"Even if he is not in a good state, he can't be forced to work. I don't care, you can talk to the director later, and now there are seven people on leave, and if this continues, the work here will not be able to continue. Tie Yiran's tone seemed to be a little troublesome, but his brows didn't even wrinkle.
After the female researcher left, she asked, "Are all of you people taking leave here because of the crystal skull you just mentioned?" "It seems dangerous that a crystal skull can make so many people take leave.
"Not exactly." Tie Yiran brought her coffee, "Strange things happen at night is also the reason why they take time off." ”
Is it really haunted? She took a sip of coffee and immediately raised her eyebrows, "This coffee ...... "Wow, this coffee not only loses its fragrance, but also has a strong sour taste and astringent taste...... It was the first time she had drunk such a bad coffee.
"What's wrong? This is the treasured Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee given to me by others, and Yirou also said that it is a great coffee bean. Tie Yiran said with a smile.
She chuckled dryly, "Indeed, the coffee beans are great. "It's the craft of the person who makes the coffee that's wrong.
Tie Yiran said again: "Originally, I just wanted you to come over and take a look at that crystal skull, but I didn't expect those strange things to happen recently, I hope Xiaosui you won't be involved in it." ”
Since I hope she won't be involved in strange things, don't bring her here at this time. She sighed and asked, "What the hell is going on?" Is there really a supernatural event going on here? ”
"Originally, there were only one or two people who felt a little unwell because of the crystal skull, but after the dried corpse was found a few days ago, rumors began to be haunted in the research institute." Tie Yiran smiled, "The haunted thing seems to make everyone panic, and it's not strange not to come to work for an excuse." ”
"But you don't seem to care?" Whether it is asking for leave from so many people, or the utility of the crystal skull, Tie Yiran is casual and natural, and I don't see any "panic" in him.
"What's the use of caring?" Tie Yiran replied, "Besides, what I found this time is not something that can be figured out in a hurry, so it's better to spend more time collecting information." ”
Looking at Tie Yiran's appearance as a scholar, it is impossible to imagine that he is still a professional killer. "Aren't you going to tell me what kind of haunting is going to happen here at night?"
Tie Yiran thought for a while and said, "That's right, it's good to let you have a general understanding." ”
"That's it!" She nodded repeatedly, "What the hell is the haunted now?" ”
Tie Yiran smiled and said, "Didn't you just say that you were afraid? Why are you so excited now? ”
"I've been interested in the paranormal since I was a child." She said with a grin.
"Strange kid." Tie Yiran snorted and said, "You should know that the discovery of a crystal skull alone is already amazing, and the crystal skull has never appeared in China's archaeological history. Like the crystal skull found in Honduras, the lower jaw of this crystal skull can be dismantled with such ingenuity that it is not known which dynasty the tomb or owner of the tomb was. ”
She said she understood, and waited for Tie Yiran to continue.
"Plus, we've found something even more amazing." Tie Yiran said mysteriously.
"Something more amazing? Alien corpses? ”
"It's a corpse, but it's not an alien, and it's a mummy." Tie Yiran smiled calmly.
"Oh, the mummy...... What the? Mummies, you say?! "Have mummies been found in China?
