On the knee, a purple wood cane as thick as a thumb is placed across the surface. The head of the cane is decorated with a golden eagle, with mother-of-pearl inlays around the edge, and a circle of relief on it. A large piece of pale silver acanthus leaves surrounds the eagle head in the middle.
.Looks low-key and luxurious.
The overall stick body is about the thickness of an adult's thumb.
Card Xiu suppressed the excitement in his heart. He first sat on the sofa and looked around carefully and played with it for a while. It was in line with his personality as an antique lover. While watching the game, he chatted with Matthew for five or six minutes before he excused himself to go to the hotel.
Toilet escape.
On both sides of the carpeted rectangular corridor, there is a copper wall lamp at regular intervals. The wall lamp emits soft yellow light, illuminating the entire corridor quite warmly.
Ka Xiu was walking towards the toilet at this moment. He glanced at no one in front and behind him, then reached out and bit his thumb hard.
Suddenly a bloody wound appeared.
His thumb gently pressed on the stick, and for a moment, Ka Xiu felt a large stream of cold air licking his wounds like an octopus. The next second, these air currents rushed in, and Ka Xiu's whole body
My right arm is numb.
The bitter taste spread from the arm to the mouth. Along with it was a strong cold feeling.
It was clearly June and the beginning of summer. But Kaxiu felt as if he was in an ice cellar, his face was numb and he was trembling.
It felt like swallowing a big mouthful of ice cubes all at once on a hot day. The chill hit my brain and made my whole body feel numb.
Fortunately, the bitterness and chill go away just as quickly as they come.
In just a few seconds, Kaxiu had absorbed all the coldness, and there was no more airflow coming out of the cane.
"Huh..." He pressed one hand on the wall and exhaled a long breath. He raised his head and saw numbers gradually appearing above his perspective.
"Obsession Energy:1.1"
Taking the amount of obsession energy required to go back in time as a unit, then this purple wood cane contains one point of obsession energy. It is slightly more than the energy required for a time back.
"Sure enough, the obsessional energy contained in different antiques is also different. I don't know what this energy intensity is related to..."
Kaxiu rubbed the cane in his hand and murmured to himself.
He glanced at the upper right corner again, above the obsession energy display bar. A rune symbol of a wind ivory pendant hung alone at the top, with no other symbols appearing next to it.
For example, a wooden cane with a golden eagle on the top.
Narrowing his eyes and taking a closer look, Ka Xiu understood.
Not all obsessive antiques can produce rune marks like the wind ivory pendant, more of them just have the energy of obsession. In other words, there are actually two categories of antiques.
The first type is what Cardiff calls legendary antiques.
For example, the Wind Ivory Pendant, this kind of antique can not only contain the energy of obsession, but also has the obsession retrospection node of the original owner, which can allow Card repair to perform retroactive training. For example, the original owner of the Wind Ivory Pendant, Levi, has three important
node.
The youth training camp incident, the battle to annihilate the family, and the road to revenge.
The second type is what Cardiff calls obsessive antiques.
As the name suggests, the antique only contains obsession energy, but there are no obsession nodes like the wind ivory pendant. For example, the purple wood cane he just absorbed only provides an energy source.
After coming back to his senses, Kaxiu looked down at his thumb, and saw that the wound had scabbed over. He glanced at the wall on the right, and saw a blood spot on the smooth and smooth wall. It was the one he pressed against the wall with his right hand just now. The blood stains were very thick.
It's so small that it shouldn't be discovered.
Turning around, the sound of footsteps gradually spread towards the toilet.
Ka Xiu simply washed his hands, and also cleaned the bloody cane. He turned around and returned the same way.
Walking out of the corridor and into the hall of the villa, a black shoe on the marble floor froze for an instant. Ka Xiu clicked his tongue, glanced at the cane in his hand, and then clicked his tongue again. He understood instantly
What: "In addition to the purple wood cane, there are also obsessive antiques in this villa!!!"
As expected of a wealthy businessman who owns several cross-city companies, he has a lot of antique collections at home! Today he has gained a lot...
For such a surprising windfall, a smile from the heart appeared on Ka Xiu's face.
"Yes, I just walked all the way from the living room. The reason why I didn't notice anything unusual is because I was holding a purple wood cane in my hand. The other obsession is the bitter smell of antiques from a distance, and the bitter smell caused by the purple wood cane at a close distance.
It’s not obvious in front of you.”
"Since I have sensed it, there is no reason to let it go. I only need the obsession energy inside. As long as the antique is not a legendary antique, I can completely absorb the obsession energy inside and put it back." Ka Xiu
Thinking in my heart.
He also remembered that when he and Matthew asked to go to the toilet just now, they did not specify whether they wanted a small one or a large one. If it was a large one, it would be quite normal to be delayed in the toilet for a few minutes.
When he thought of this, Ka Xiu quickly glanced around.
There was no one, not even the occasional waiter walking back and forth.
He immediately walked into the hall and searched for the source of the bitter taste with his tongue like the nose of a search and rescue dog. The closer he got to the Obsessive Antique, the stronger the bitter taste in Cardiff's mouth would become.
Two or three minutes passed and he roughly walked around the entire hall. He became more and more convinced that the place of origin was on the second or third floor.
On the right side of the hall is a spiral staircase with a bronze metal handrail on one side and a ball handle at the front end.
Card Xiu raised his head and glanced upward, tapping his toes. His whole body instantly ran up like an agile cheetah, very fast. In a few seconds, he reached the staircase on the second floor.
And no sound was made during this process.
To be honest, it is impossible for a secret martial practitioner to starve to death stupidly. With just this ability to control the body muscles, he can become a top thief. It is easy to climb over the wall, climb the wall, and walk silently, and even be killed by others.
The discovery can slip away easily.
It's just that no secret martial arts practitioner would do something as shameful as stealing property. They have other ways to make money.
Standing at the stairway on the second floor, Kaxiu took a moment to sense. The source of the bitter smell had basically been determined to be on the second floor of the villa.
In front of it is a spacious hall like the one on the first floor. Next to it are a circle of cabinets, coffee tables, sofas, and the like. There are several oil paintings on the walls. There are potted plants and decorative antiques in the corners.
Further away is a corridor to the left and right, which seems to lead to different areas on the second floor. There are occasionally rooms in the corridor. At the end of the right side, there is an occasional sound from a dark red wooden door. The brass label on the top reads
Lettered: Study.
"White Bird, my son was attacked by people from Shachen..."
