Chapter 446 - Chapter 446: 7 Crystal Balls (2/2)

According to the system’s explanation, it was because the other person had already died, and their brain waves couldn’t show any activity.

The security captain acted swiftly, and it wasn’t long before he had all the passenger’s information in hand.

This guy’s identity wasn’t anything special; he was just an ordinary jewel merchant.

Chen Yu momentarily ran out of leads. Nothing was missing from the room; it didn’t seem like a robbery-murder case, and the victim didn’t have any obvious wounds, which was unlike suicide.

After ruling out all theories, only natural death remained as an option.

But no one would believe that a forty-something, physically robust man could just suddenly die of natural causes.

Chen Yu propped his chin and contemplated for a long time, but couldn’t come to a conclusion, so he had to leave the room.

He took a moment to regulate his breathing and used the system to cover the entire ship, attempting to scan everyone’s brain information.

However, the ship was covered with an extremely powerful satellite signal, causing severe interference. Chen Yu could only capture parts of the brain information, none of which was related to the man at hand.

Exhaling a murky breath, he could only temporarily leave.

Hansis hurriedly ran out of the bustling dining room and bumped into Chen Yu face to face.

“Mr. Chen, you’re truly amazing. The painting you chose for me just now sold at a high price. I’ve made at least six billion this time, and according to the rules here, I owe you three billion.”

Chen Yu waved his hand, “You don’t need to give me the money. Can you help me investigate if the person in that room has any other identities?”

Hansis tilted his head and his face suddenly changed dramatically.

“Oy, that guy, well, he’s quite a famous explorer in the circles, but he’s engaged in the business of grave robbing! Many of the precious jewels he owns were obtained through such means.”

Chen Yu became somewhat distracted. Most people involved in this kind of business end up dying unexpectedly – maybe this guy had been poisoned by some strange curse.

He didn’t dwell on it too much and went with Hansis to the next hall for a drink at the bar.

The auction in the dining room was now over, and most of the people had gathered there to relax.

The recent murder case had spread, causing widespread panic.

“Did you hear about Luckne? He’s dead!”

“No surprise there; he had apparently found an ancient ruin a while back and emptied its treasure. Said place was rumored to be cursed.”

“Ruins from the Ramses Dynasty, which one isn’t cursed? I don’t know what gave him the nerve to tamper with that place.”

“It’s said the curse is about seven Crystal Balls. The seven who entered the ruins will be killed by these seven Crystal Balls.”

“Yikes, I heard that there were pieces of a Crystal Ball in Luckne’s room.”

…

The more these people talked, the more mysterious it got; if one were to connect their stories, you might write a novel out of it.

But the term “Crystal Ball” still piqued Chen Yu’s interest.

He immediately ran into the crowd, asking about the Crystal Ball.

Legend had it that Ramses III, at the time of his death, placed seven magical Crystal Balls around his tomb.

These objects were meant to accompany Ramses III to heaven.

If someone were to plunder his tomb and ruins, he would return with the seven Crystal Balls for revenge!

According to the legend in the story, it seemed Ramses III knew before he died that seven people would open his legacy, and he had prepared seven Crystal Balls specifically for these seven people.

Chen Yu certainly didn’t believe such a far-fetched tale.
