Chapter 1036 - Memory Erasure (1/2)

Xia Lei brought Qian Jun into one of the shi+p cabins The first thing that welcomed them beyond the sturdyover Xia Lei’s bag, aware of the i Xia Lei and Qian Jun, Tsukino Kyoko dutifully stood up and said, “I’ll go watch the door outside”

Xia Lei returned a slight nod

Tsukino Kyoko left the cabin and closed the door behind her While she was genuinely curious about the secrets surrounding the crystal skull, she was not keen to pry She was content with the way things were now If Xia Lei had chosen to confide in her, that’d be great But if he didn’t, it wouldn’t affect anything

Xia Lei zipped the bag open and brought out the crystal skull

The shi+p cabin was located at the bottoht source illuular twenty-five-watt fluorescent la was scarce but as soon as the crystal skull had e, the shi+p cabin ihter It was alht and reflected it back It was a pristine white crystal, showcasing crystalline-like properties at the same time

This was the first tiht

“It’s so beautiful” Qian Jun was emotional

Xia Lei asked, “Do you think it's a real skull?”

Qian Jun studied it closely “I’m not sure about that Professor Mark had studied it for tens of years and looked through piles of information He said that the crystal skull was a real skull and I believed him After all, he’s a professional”

“Back then, us and not the crystal skull Is that right?” Xia Lei tried to confir about that Perhaps that was the case I’ve told your father the exact coordinates of that mountain After I was captured, he had all the chance to obtain this crystal skull but he didn’t do so Based on that, it does seeoal wasn’t the crystal skull after all” Qian Jun answered

“Did you know that there was a secret tunnel that led into the mountain body? It was sealed by a special kind of wax”

“Yeah, I are of that That tunnel was found by the person who I instructed to climb up and retrieve the skull It was indeed sealed by wax to hide it froeneral public Minutes after he found out, he fell to his death I did tell your father about it and even drew asense No wonder Xia Changhe had left clues for him at the foot of the mountain If it wasn’t for Qian Jun’s e

Despite learning so to accuainst his own father While he hihe too had plenty ofhim!

Xia Lei mused to himself darkly, “We really should sit down and talk this out next time we see each other If he continues to hide it frorandchildren”

“Xia Lei, can I…” There was a moment of hesitation “Can I touch it?”

Xia Lei turned to look at him “Of course Go ahead”

Qian Jun reached over and picked it up

At that very asped, staring at the crystal skull in shock Qian Jun’s body sluround

“Careful!” Xia Lei frantically reached out an arm to support Qian Jun by his waist and held hirip and fell onto the sheets Thankfully, the layers of soft bedding had saved the crystal skull froe

The crystal skull was unscathed but Qian Jun was unconscious Xia Lei shook his lifeless body twice, garnering no response

“Boss, what’s going on?” Tsukino Kyoko’s voice rang from outside the door

Xia Lei answered, “An accident, stay out!”

“Got it Tell me if you need me,” said Tsukino Kyoko

Xia Lei had halted Tsukino Kyoko fro fate would replicate itself on the female ninja He was terribly worried Xia Lei did not know anything about the crystal skull What if the skull had possessed the say as the ancient alloy box that could drive anyone that came in contact with it insane?!

Dread settled in and Xia Lei found hi

“hello? Hey, can you hear me? Wake up…” Xia Lei continued to shake Qian Jun’s body but no reactions were produced He placed Qian Jun back onto the bed and checked his vitals To his relief, everything was alright

Qian Jun was breathing s was his slower brain activity All his physiological properties had confire Qian Jun had just passed out for no particular reason

Xia Lei’s gaze landed on the crystal skull

It laid against the soft sheets, radiant and glistening in silence

It was hard to believe that it was a human’s skull If someone had a skull like this, ould their eyes look like? Was it white? Was it blue? Or was it black? What would their skin colour be? Was it as clear and translucent like what he was seeing?
