Chapter 696 (1/2)

Half an hour later, Xia Lei replicated what had been drawn in pencil on the Mona Lisa’s canvas on paper He could have gone faster, but he usedfor perfection

What he drew on the notebook was in a 1:20 ratio of the original Other than this, what he dreas exactly the same as what da Vinci had drawn

He also replicated the blurry and unclear Italian words and then tried to interpret it He was not very familiar with the Italian but this did not stop him He made a plan for himself to spend five hours on the co this process, he would use his brain’s ability to make the blurred Italian words “clear”, and then use the Italian words that he had learned to interpret the e that da Vinci on left on the canvas

Time went by slowly The hotel’s desktop computer whirred and Xia Lei’s brain whirred too Under normal circumstances, the human brain could not compare with a computer but he was an exception His brain worked even faster and better than a coe about the Italian language and his brain soaked up all the infor process, his brain repaired and perfected the words based on the distinct traits of the Italian words, until it obtained a clear and correct answer

Five hours passed

Xia Lei’s brain was filled with knowledge on Italy There was a short translation written on a blank piece of paper in front of him

The translation read: I as happened I benefited fros, but I was also very confused I tried to uncover this secret throughout ht I was close, but in the end I found that I was still far from the truth Since you were able to see the contents on the canvas, thatto uncover these secrets? I’ve left sos for you If you can understand s that I’ve left behind”

That was the e that da Vinci had left on the canvas After he had deciphered it, Xia Lei could not cal this method Clearly it was left for people who have X-ray vision He understood this ability, so did he really have a AE capsule? But father had said that the AE capsules which he stole from the research center were the only ones in the world, so where did da Vinci get his AE capsule from?’ He could not understand this

If da Vinci were still alive today and could give him a chance to talk face to face, then the question would be easily solved The problem was, da Vinci had already been dead for centuries Whether da Vinci had or had not taken the AE capsule, or where he had got the AE capsule from These questions could not be answered

He sat silently for a while, and returned his attention back to the map

The map had no words, and was drawn in pencil It would be extre place in the world now It was as if da Vinci was using this ence

Xia Lei closed his eyes and the picture of the map on the canvas appeared in his head

Dawn broke out of the darkness; the night had passed unknowingly Xia Lei opened his eyes and a bea onto his face At the break of dawn, a smile bloomed on his face

Knock knock knock

A knocking sound came from the door but Xia Lei did not seem to have heard it The smile on his face became , little by little, until it bloo stopped, but the door was opened

Qing Caiyue entered She spotted Xia Lei and was taken aback She said in surprise, “Director Xia, did you not sleep last night?”

“Hehehe…” Xia Lei laughed out loud

“Director Xia, are… are you all right?” asked Qing Caiyue, worried Xia Lei had knocked on her door in the hing by theShe was truly worried about her Director Xia’s mental state

“So it was like that,” mumbled Xia Lei to hi Caiyue moved closer

“You are so clever”

“U about ain

“Director Xia? What happened to you?” Qing Caiyue went to Xia Lei’s side She hesitated, then placed her hand on Xia Lei’s forehead

Xia Lei’s forehead was not hot, and he had no sy Caiyue’s hand on his forehead did not affect his brain’s work In his head, the map that Da Vinci had left on the canvas was taken apart into lines of different lengths and shapes Some looked like earthworms, some were twisted like a wire, and some looked like iron drills They constantly combined to form new patterns

This process was very co pattern was eliminated, and a correct pattern was for shape

A new map appeared in Xia Lei’s head At the very top of the ravestone, only a cross Underneath the grave was a very coround tunnel that twisted about like a maze The exit was at the center of the ravestone

The secret that da Vinci left on the canvas was solved in one night

In this one night, Xia Lei had even became proficient in Italian His brain was sure aCaiyue moved her hand from Xia Lei’s forehead to his cheek She did not knohere she got this courage fro in the ic, and wanted to touch him

His skin was very smooth and delicate like a baby’s skin It was very comfortable to the touch

‘Such soft skin, what skincare does he use?’ This weird question suddenly popped into Qing Caiyue’s head

Just then, Xia Lei suddenly opened his eyes
