497. Chapter 493 New 0487 Some kind of evil souvenir
After returning to the hotel, Li Mengnan immediately called Wei Mao and told him all his unexpected findings.
"Do you suspect that the unknown coma of some students is related to the dare game of some historical and cultural research club?"
Euonymus was a little unbelievable. He didn't expect that the key clues they were looking for were already on campus.
"It is the European History and Literature Research Society. It is said to be a fun place hosted by the rich and powerful second generations of Hanlin Yigaoli." Li Mengnan corrected Wei Mao's statement and guessed at the same time.
: "The time when these people rented the house coincided with the time when the students were unconscious, so I suspect that the source of the fear in the memory fog I saw may be this dare game."
Wei Mao also agreed with Li Mengnan's guess, saying: "Now that the entire case has become clear, I think we can notify the Seoul police to seal off that house."
"No rush." Li Mengnan stopped Wei Mao, "I want to go to that house and take a look first."
"you sure?"
Wei Mao hesitated a little, he had already guessed what Li Mengnan was going to do.
In places where supernatural phenomena occur like this, if it is not caused by special demons, there are often things that can be called heavenly materials and treasures. Once the authorities are the first to intervene, there is often no chance of additional benefits.
Of course, it is definitely dangerous to go deep alone without support, but there is an old saying that wealth is gained through danger. If you want to gain something, you have to take some risks.
"How about I go with you."
Wei Mao was still a little worried. He was the one who brought Li Mengnan out this time. It didn't matter if he couldn't complete the task, he had to take everyone back in one piece.
"No, otherwise I would have to take care of you." Li Mengnan said half-jokingly.
"Damn, it's a waste of my good intentions."
Wei Mao rolled his eyes, but he also knew that Li Mengnan was telling the truth. If he really encountered a situation that even Li Mengnan couldn't handle, he would probably only get one more head.
Seeing that Li Mengnan was determined, he no longer tried to dissuade him. As a teammate, all he needed to do now was to prepare in advance.
"By the way," Wei Mao suddenly remembered something, "Has there been a huge amount of money transferred from Japan to your account recently?"
"Come on, Brother Wei, just over 80 million Japanese dollars is considered a huge sum of money? Are you deliberately trying to tease me?"
Although the salary of HX Research Institute is not as high as that of ordinary white-collar workers, there are many opportunities to make extra money. Once you reach a certain level, a random task can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions. Eighty million Japanese dollars is equivalent to Chinese currency.
To five million, in the eyes of the people at HX Research Institute, it is just pocket money at most.
Let’s not talk about it. Just take Wei Mao, an old otaku, who spends hundreds of thousands of dollars every month on various figures, peripherals, and new projects. He has more than a dozen game accounts and all the top Vs are defeated by one person.
Throughout the server, there are countless younger brothers and younger sisters kneeling down to lick and call me daddy, and they are so busy all day long.
With Li Mengnan's little wealth, he would be nothing more than a beggar when it comes to the HX Research Institute.
"The money is not much, but the source is a little more sensitive. You also know the relationship between China and Japan in recent years... I will help you block the investigation at the headquarters this time. Remember to write a report to explain it when you get back to save yourself the trouble.
They will have to review every payment in the future, which is too troublesome." Wei Mao kindly reminded me.
"Okay, I understand, is there anything else?" Li Mengnan noticed that Euonymus was becoming more and more nagging. Has he really started to enter old age?
"Hey, don't tell me it's true." Wei Mao patted his thigh and remembered something again, "There was a package that came along with the remittance. It was originally going to be delivered to the Sanshan City branch. I don't know what it is.
I was worried that you might need it in a hurry, so I had it flown over directly."
"Wait a minute, our entire team is in Seoul. Is there anyone else in the Sanshan City branch?" Li Mengnan seemed to have discovered something.
"There are always a few temporary workers. Otherwise, who do you think does the cleaning work in such a big warehouse? Me? Or some princess who keeps seeing things all day long?" Wei Mao said in a strange tone.
.
Well, what he said made sense, and Li Mengnan found himself speechless.
While I was talking, someone knocked on the hotel door.
Wei Mao also heard the knock on the door through the phone, looked at the time, and said to Li Mengnan: "If you didn't order the midnight snack, then your package should have arrived."
So fast??
Li Mengnan walked over and opened the door with some suspicion, and sure enough he saw a young man wearing a courier uniform standing outside the door holding a long box.
"Is this Mr. Li Chengze? I have your package. Please sign for it."
After signing his current pseudonym, Li Mengnan returned to the bedroom with the box, put the phone aside, and tore open the thick outer packaging.
Hearing the sound of unpacking from Li Mengnan's side, Wei Mao asked curiously: "Hey, did you receive the package? What was sent? It felt like a big, thick and long mallet. Could it be some kind of evil thing?
Souvenirs?”
Li Mengnan ignored him and opened the box directly. The contents inside immediately lit up his eyes.
"Hey, don't be silent! What did the young Japanese woman send you?"
The more Li Mengnan remained silent, the more itchy Wei Mao's heart became. If he hadn't been in the hotel now, he would have definitely come over to kill him.
After calming down his surprise a little, Li Mengnan smiled lightly and said: "It's nothing, it's just a knife I asked his father to help build."
“Isn’t that Amamiya Oriko’s father, Master Uehara, one of the only national treasure-level swordsmiths in Japan?”
The reason why Wei Mao can call him out is not because of how meticulous his investigation is, but because Master Uehara is the only national treasure-level swordsmith in Japan who has created anime peripherals, and he knows everything about everything in the ACG circle.
Very concerned.
"Wait..." Wei Mao suddenly remembered something and said with some disbelief: "Recently, the Japanese ACG circle has been overwhelmed by a message, saying that Master Uehara, who has been closed for many years, started making knives again.
The prototype is still from a well-known and popular anime, could it be——"
"Yes!" Li Mengnan didn't have the patience to listen to Euonymus's startled yelling.
After hearing Li Mengnan admit it, Wei Mao became quiet instead. After a moment of silence, he said in a deep tone: "Sure enough... have you also realized that the second dimension is actually the final destination of human beings?"
"..."
Ignoring Wei Mao's tirade, Li Mengnan hung up the phone and looked back at the unpacked box.
