Looking at the three items in front of him, the professor was shocked, even overpowering the shock caused by Mr. Zhao's sudden appearance in front of him.
The national treasure of Japan, the keepsake passed down by the royal family for thousands of years (doubtful), and the three artifacts with special symbolic meaning to the Japanese people are just placed in their hands.
The professor was in a daze for a moment and asked in disbelief: "This...can't be fake, right?"
Qin Yi was a little impatient, "You ask me, who am I going to ask? Aren't you going to steal this thing? You must have studied how to distinguish the true from the false, so hurry up and identify it."
"This..." The professor was confused for a moment.
"If it's not true, I have to go back again while it's still early, there are several hours until dawn." Qin Yi urged, "Give me a conclusion quickly."
The professor had no choice but to place the three artifacts carefully on the table, took out a magnifying glass and began to study them carefully.
He has indeed done a lot of research on the three artifacts, but they are all based on local Japanese research data.
However, many of these materials are unclear and even contradictory. There is no information on the materials, specifications, shapes, or surface features of the three artifacts. Many of them are just guesses.
According to the "Kojiki" and "Nihonshu", it is said that the most precious treasures given by Amaterasu when the gods descended to the realm, namely the Amancongyun sword (also known as the "Kusanagi sword"), the Yata mirror and the Yasaka Qiongquyu, referred to as "
Sword, mirror, seal".
Due to its rarity, it has been enshrined in different places, and very few people have seen its real appearance. Today's photos are all imitations.
Because the three artifacts are said to be symbols of God, they have special protection, claiming that "if everyone can see the artifacts, the magic power attached to them will be lost."
During the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor, the three artifacts were heavily wrapped, and few people had seen the true appearance of the artifacts.
The three artifacts are usually stored separately. The Amazong Unsword is called "Kusanagi Sword" and is enshrined at Atsuta Shrine in Atsuta District, Nagoya City, between Osaka and Tokyo.
The eight-foot mirror is enshrined in the Ise Jingu Shrine in Ise City, Mie Prefecture, east of Osaka, while only the eight-foot magatama is enshrined in the Imperial Palace.
Because of the special nature of these three artifacts, no one can even look at them, let alone investigate and study them. Therefore, it is unknown whether the three artifacts today are the original ones from the seventh century.
However, based on some research, it is speculated that the original Yata Mirror may have been destroyed, the current original was recast, and the Amancongyun Sword may also be a fake.
The three artifacts preserved now may only have symbolic meaning.
These three artifacts were originally stored separately, but due to Japan's declining national power, in order to boost national morale and restore economic confidence.
I don’t know which Crouching Dragon Phoenix Child made the suggestion to gather the three artifacts together and place them in the palace to suppress the national destiny.
"So there is no way to say whether this thing is real or fake?" Qin Yi frowned, "Then there is no way to prove to the outside world that we have really got the three artifacts."
He has been in the world for so many years and done so many jobs, but he has never failed.
But this single theft of three artifacts made him feel quite troublesome. Even though he had stolen it, it seemed like he had not stolen it.
There is no way to tell the authenticity of this thing, so there is no evidence that the thing in hand is the three artifacts.
Since there was no way to prove that they had stolen it, the Japanese royal family could have declared that the thing was not lost at all, put up three imitations and continued to enshrine it.
If someone officially certifies that this thing is real, then it is real.
And with Japan's shameless level, it's like a dog biting a hedgehog.
The Japanese official is openly committing fraud and you are endorsing it yourself. What can you do?
Qin Yi was very melancholy. Cross-border work was really hard to do.
"So, all my hard work was in vain?" Qin Yi sighed, expressing great regret.
"I admire Mr. Zhao's ability. He was able to steal magical objects from the heavily guarded palace in just a few hours. What a great trick." The professor said with sincere admiration.
"It's just a little trick." Qin Yi waved his hand casually, "It's just the same as not stealing. How can we prove that we really stole the three artifacts?"
The professor suddenly smiled, "It doesn't matter, we have a way to prove that this thing is real."
"What can you do?" Qin Yi asked curiously.
"Place the Amancongyun Sword and the Yata Mirror back to Atsuta Shrine and Ise Shrine." The professor said confidently, "Everyone knows that the artifact has been sent to the palace, and now the artifact has suddenly returned.
Naturally, someone has tampered with her."
"We have already found reporters. As soon as the artifact is put back, the priests in the shrine will come directly to take pictures without knowing it, catching them off guard."
"Then we used newspapers and television in several countries in East and Southeast Asia to create momentum and influence public opinion."
"Once public opinion arouses, the Japanese royal family will have to clarify the issue that the three artifacts were not lost." The professor smiled, "But they cannot completely clarify this matter."
Qin Yi instantly understood that if public opinion was created, the Japanese royal family would face the same problem as him, how to prove that the three artifacts in their hands were genuine.
After all, the real thing has most likely been lost, and the one in hand is a fake, plus there is a strange rule about not showing it to others.
There is no way for the Japanese royal family to open the box and let people inspect it to prove that the artifact in their hands is real. Without inspection, there is no way for people to believe it.
This is a very embarrassing situation.
Qin Yi nodded, "Yes, the professor's move is very cruel and decisive. Once the public opinion is built up, the pressure will be on the side of the Japanese royal family."
"No matter how elaborate a plan is, it still depends on its execution." The professor looked at the three artifacts in his hand and smiled slightly, then packed them carefully. Just as he was about to put them away, Qin Yi suddenly reached out and snatched the package back.
The professor was stunned and said, "Mr. Zhao, what are you doing?"
"What you just said was to put back two things, what about the remaining piece of magatama?" Qin Yi looked at the professor expressionlessly, "Do you want to keep it?"
"Well, I have to keep it." The professor nodded, "It's important to have a token in your hand to prove it."
"Then since I got the things back, just leave them here for safekeeping." Qin Yi showed a smile, "You won't object, right?"
"..." The professor gritted his teeth and forced a smile, "I have no objection."
"One more thing, I helped our organization steal such an important thing, should you give me a reward?" Qin Yi asked seriously and sincerely.
The professor suddenly felt something bad, "For example?"
"I regard money as nothing. Let's do this. The organization must have a high-level core circle. You let me join it." Qin Yi said calmly, "I want to join the board of directors and communicate more with other senior executives to understand them."
The professor's face suddenly turned dark. You are wishful thinking.
Qin Yi weighed the package in his hand and looked at the professor with a smile, "I am willing to donate one million US dollars to the organization."
"This is not a matter of money." The professor said very angrily. "The organization is a group of like-minded friends gathered together. It cannot be measured by money."
"Arms worth ten million US dollars." Qin Yi added.
"You don't understand that joining the Privy Council requires the recommendation of more than three core members." The professor emphasized again, "It's useless to rely on my recommendation alone."
"Add another ten million US dollars." Qin Yi added again, "Cash."
The professor's expression changed, "I have to inform other members of the Privy Council to hold a meeting to discuss it."
"Based on the future situation, I will make additional donations." Qin Yi finally added, "The annual donation will not be less than 20 million US dollars."
"I will try my best to convince them." The professor felt his throat was dry.
"It's not about trying your best." Qin Yi looked at the professor seriously, "It's about determination."
