Chapter 1717 - 1718: Magnified 1,000 Times
Finding missing people is not any easier than finding the missing Shen Cang.
"First, find your Head Grandpa, then think about finding someone else." Lou Lan sighed and patted Little Taotie’s head.
The little girl was kind-hearted, but overly confident.
Little Taotie looked up, meeting Lou Lan’s sighing expression, frowning tightly: "I will find Head Grandpa! If I can find Head Grandpa, can I apply to go on a mission?"
Seeing the girl’s determination, Lou Lan thought for a moment and said, "As long as you can bring him back, I’ll propose to transfer part of the missing persons case to the Special Department."
Little Taotie cheered: "Thank you, teacher!"
"How about studying these?" Lou Lan pointed at the Gold Bricks.
"Brother Nie said that each Gold Brick has a curse. I want to lift the curse."
The Brother Nie that Little Taotie mentioned had already arrived at the Special Department.
Since some paranormal incidents request outside help, and he was among them, many in the Special Department knew him, knew he had a good relationship with Little Taotie, so someone brought him over.
Little Taotie saw Brother Nie standing at the door and ran over: "Brother Nie, why are you here."
Nie Qing’s gaze fell on the Gold Bricks scattered on the ground, and he quickly stepped back, holding his forehead: "No, I’m getting a headache, put them away quickly."
Little Taotie hurriedly stored all the scattered Gold Bricks into the Horse-Faced Bell.
Nie Qing was taken aback.
He suggested the girl hide them out of sight. Unexpectedly, the girl had a storage-type magic artifact!
Lou Lan was a bit surprised but did not mind; it was evidently curious in her knowledge, but not enough to make a fuss.
"Take one out, wait, let me put on gloves." Nie Qing hurriedly pulled out a pair of gloves and put them on.
These were gloves made with gold threads.
When she saw his gloves, the little girl’s eyes lit up.
Facing the little girl’s sparkling eyes, Nie Qing felt a bit uneasy, pursed his lips: "I made them myself. If you don’t mind, I’ll make a pair for you?"
Little Taotie nodded eagerly like a pecking bird.
Hua Jinyan pondered: A gold-thread hat, gold-thread gloves, gold-thread socks... Hmm, should prepare them, makes a nice New Year’s gift.
Nie Qing took the Gold Brick, isolated by a layer, but still feeling that it was cold to the touch, as if holding an ice cube rather than a piece of gold.
Records mentioned that there was a traitor among the craftsmen, and this traitor added something that shouldn’t have been added during alchemy; the specifics were not recorded.
Only by knowing what was added can the right remedy be applied.
Nie Qing used an iron nail file to rub against the Gold Brick, hoping to scrape down some Gold Sand.
The Gold Brick was too solid; after a long time, not a single grain of Gold Sand appeared.
Little Taotie watched anxiously: "Can I try?"
Nie Qing recalled Little Taotie’s great strength and immediately handed the file and Gold Brick to Little Taotie.
Little Taotie cradled the Gold Brick and solemnly said: "I’m sorry."
After speaking, she vigorously rubbed it.
Perhaps the Gold Brick cooperated, or perhaps Little Taotie’s strength was too great, and plenty of Gold Sand fell off.
"That’s enough, we don’t need too much." Nie Qing collected the Gold Sand and asked if there was a magnifying glass available.
This was Lou Lan’s office, so naturally, there was a magnifying glass, even a microscope.
Nie Qing used a magnifying glass to enlarge the Gold Sand, but nothing unusual could be seen, and then switched to a microscope at thousand times magnification, only then seeing the substance inside clearly.
Was it...parasites?
Or...Cinnabar?
Or...mold?
Perhaps the traitor added more than one kind of unusual material during alchemical sabotage.
