Chapter 765: Curse
"Star Diamond?"
The miners let out a cry of surprise: "What is that?"
The star diamond is not well-known because the output is very small, and almost no one knows what kind of substance it is and what it is used for.
The star diamond got its name because of its pure, crystalline texture and beauty, like a huge diamond.
However, unlike diamonds, small diamonds can be worn on the finger to show off the status of the owner. The star diamond is too big, and the alien ore God knows what kind of radiation, and the rich will not risk wearing it because it is beautiful.
The star diamond has its own appearance, it can't be used as energy, and it can't be used as a material, except for looking good, it's useless, otherwise, Li's enterprise will not auction it off, so Gao Yuan picked up the cheap.
The miners are all lower-class people, and of course they don't know what star diamonds are.
Miller didn't know very well, but explained: "The star diamond is a very beautiful ore, like a very large diamond. I don't know what it was for, but it was certainly worth a lot, and anyway, the star diamond brought terrible bad luck. β
"It's a good thing to dig up valuable star diamonds, why do you say bad luck is coming?"
Miller did not answer, but continued to tell the story: "Xin Yue, who dug up the diamond, is very happy, as long as he divides the account according to the conditions of the enlightener, he will be able to save enough money to go home and marry the girl." He happily handed the star diamond to the Enlightener and asked to leave. β
Takato couldn't be clearer about the greed and brutality of the Enlightened. The naΓ―ve Xin Yue thought that he had found the key to happiness, but he didn't expect to open the door to hell.
Sure enough, I heard Miller say: "What Xin Yue didn't expect was that the enlighteners were greedy, and they refused to pay Xin Yue as agreed, and they were afraid that Xin Yue would spread the news of the star diamond, so they would kill them." β
It was a very cold winter day, Xin Yue was tied up and thrown in the mountains, the snow covered him, and his body gradually stiffened. Before freezing to death, Xin Yue bit off his tongue, leaving a shocking curse on the snow. β
As Miller's tone grew deeper and lower, the miners' hearts were pinched together, and the silence beneath the mine was as dead as death, and everyone listened in silence to the end of the story.
"The curse is that as long as this mine produces more star diamonds, it will bleed...... Miller said.
After a moment of silence, someone asked, "Has this curse worked?"
Miller smiled: "I don't know, how can the star drill be so easy to dig out...... But you can dig one and try it, anyway, we are still suffering, it is better to have a river of blood!"
Everyone shuddered, and even Takato felt a gust of wind pass through his neck, as if there really was a resentful ghost wandering through the mine, cursing one after another.
"It is because of this vicious curse and the countless miners who have died that this place is called the Death Mine. Those beautiful and valuable pieces of ore were bought by the miners with their lives and blood!" Miller said, his tone trembling, and his sentence was full of hatred and anger.
Some people shed tears, probably thinking of the girl in their hometown waiting for their return, some people turned pale, probably because Xin Yue's tragic experience reminded them of themselves, and some people looked calm, but endless storms were brewing in their hearts.
Even Zuo Qiu Bai and the Black Widow looked solemn, infected by the fate of Xin Yue and the dead miners.
Gao Yuan also sighed softly.
"Hey, don't you need to work?" In the midst of the gloomy atmosphere, an overseer walked up at the inopportune time and yelled at the miners.
The miners got up one after another, wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes, hid their timidity and anger in their hearts, and began to work in a clang.
Miller glanced at the overseer, his gaze finally falling on Gao Yuan's body, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, with a hint of disdain and threat.
Takato knew that Miller was warning himself not to tell the overseer about the matter.
He shrugged his shoulders indifferently and made a kind gesture at Miller. Miller then turned his head and taught the young miners the art of digging.
"Little Wu, look at these guys, don't let them be lazy. Later, Dr. Zhang Wei will come here to inspect and make a mess to make you look good. The overseer walked around and walked up to Gao Yuan and said.
"Dr. Zhang Wei?" Gao Yuan remembered the name, if he guessed correctly, it should be the raunchy guy from yesterday.
After a while, the sound of footsteps echoed in the empty mine.
Surrounded by a group of overseers, Zhang Wei explored several mining sites, and the current one was already the fifth destination of the trip.
"Doctor, the ore veins around here are of high quality ore, and they may be the core area you are talking about. β
With the voice of the overseer, Zhang Wei and his party appeared in the mine.
There was an overseer similar to the role of a guide who was foaming at the mouth of the mouth to introduce the high quality of this ore vein, Zhang Wei nodded again and again, and then knocked and knocked around, picked up the ore and looked left and right, as if he could see the flowers.
Gao Yuan was mixed among a group of miners, secretly watching Zhang Wei's movements.
"This guy looks very powerful, but it's a pity that he is abusive ......," Gao Yuan thought to himself.
"Doctor, do you think this is the core area?" someone asked.
"Hmm...... We can't say for sure yet. This vein is concentrated, but the density of the ore is irregular, and it is difficult to judge based on the data available. Zhang Wei said.
At this time, someone suddenly hurriedly entered the mine, and when he saw Zhang Wei, he said, "Doctor, boss, please go over immediately." β
"What's going on?" Zhang Wei asked.
"The third cave you went to just now, you have made a discovery!" said the visitor, but there was no joy on his face, but he looked at the cave wall above him hesitantly. The slightly frightened face showed that this person seemed to know Xin Yue's curse as well.
"Really? Zhang Weiwei was overjoyed.
Gao Yuan is very happy, he actually dug up the Tianjing ore!
But when he turned his head, he found that the miners around him had turned very pale and their expressions were full of horror.
Curse!
Xin Yue's curse. When the Star Diamond is dug up again, there will be a river of blood here!
Suddenly, someone said, "Where have the overseers gone?"
Everyone looked around, and the overseers who usually wanted to monitor them all the time were gone.
"Did they run away first for fear of the curse?" someone shouted.
This sound was like a spark falling on a dry wasteland, and it instantly ignited the entire grassland, and all the miners became agitated.
