Seeing Mrs. Jia sleeping soundly, Qu Jianlei was too embarrassed to disturb her and could only stand there silently.
However, the moment he stopped, Mrs. Jia's snoring stopped abruptly.
Then she raised her head, wiped the corners of her mouth with her sleeves, and slowly opened her eyes, "Is something wrong?"
Qu Jianlei smiled and said, "Grandma Jia, are you asleep or not?"
"Relax for a while, be lazy," Mrs. Jia's old eyes were still not fully opened, they were half-open and half-closed, and her eyes were cloudy.
"If I die two years early, how much longer can I sleep? I'm not in a hurry now...what's the matter?
Qu Jianlei took out some photos, the one above showed the broken hairpin, "I would like to ask, do you recognize this?"
"Huh?" Mrs. Jia glanced at it and her eyes widened instantly, "Is this... a hairpin?"
As expected, the word "hairpin" she said was pronounced in Chinese dialect, but she still had an accent.
"What was found on Steve," Qu Jianlei said, unwilling to deceive the old lady, "it feels a bit mysterious."
"Ah, does he still have such a good thing?" Mrs. Jia looked surprised.
The next moment, she hesitated and said, "Can you take this out and show it to me?"
"This..." Now it was Qu Jianlei's turn to be speechless, "I want to say that it was destroyed by me, do you believe it?"
"Of course I believe it," Mrs. Jia relaxed her body after hearing this, and leaned lazily against the cabinet.
"If you want to lie to me, there are plenty of excuses."
How about saying that the old lady is very knowledgeable? Then she really understands everything.
Qu Jianlei hadn't thought about how far he should go to talk to the other party, so he hesitated when he saw this.
"That hairpin has the ability to resist mental attacks. It feels very weird."
Mrs. Jia squinted her eyes and replied lazily, "It's normal. Hairpins are either for defense against mental attacks or against lightning."
Isn't this my nemesis? Qu Jianlei was stunned when he heard this, "Can you still withstand electromagnetic attacks?"
"Yes," Mrs. Jia replied weakly, but the next moment, her eyes suddenly opened and her expression became serious.
"Are you saying that after the hairpin is broken, it can still reject your mental power?"
"Yeah," Qu Jianlei felt a little embarrassed, but he couldn't deny the fact, "Fortunately, Steve didn't take it out."
"That guy... is very lucky," Mrs. Jia sighed softly, with deep emotion in her heart.
Then she looked at Qu Jianlei with piercing eyes, "You can even damage this thing...is there any wreckage?"
"Grandma Jia, please give me more news," Qu Jianlei is not stupid. How could he not know that this is the time to make a condition?
"If there is not enough reason, I will show it to you... It will not be easy to explain."
He didn't say who he was talking to - actually it was for his hometown, but if the old lady thought of anything else, it would be none of his business.
Mrs. Jia's eyes flashed again, and she spoke hesitantly, "Since you don't know...it may cause you trouble."
"I'm not afraid of trouble in this matter," Qu Jianlei replied simply.
When the news reached this level, it was impossible for him to back down. "It's best if it's shocking enough so that I have a reason to convince others."
"This..." Mrs. Jia pondered for a while, then sighed, "Actually, there are many people who know about it. It has something to do with divine literature."
The old lady knew that the origin of this defensive object was unknown and could not be copied.
Anyone who can get this kind of thing has a great chance. This thing is so precious that it is indescribable.
She had been lucky enough to hear some news before and knew that this was an armor that mainly protected against two rare attacks.
At the end of the sentence, she let out a long sigh, "According to old legend...there are also hairpins that can be enlarged and the attacks can be very sharp."
"But no one has really seen that kind of attack hairpin, but the latter two kinds of hairpins, occasionally
I can see it."
Qu Jianlei heard this and asked, "How much is this broken hairpin worth?"
"Ten to the highest...at least!" Mrs. Jia replied without hesitation, "It still has defensive capabilities after being cut off, it's a high-end product!"
"This is really..." Qu Jianlei twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this, Xiaohu, this naughty kid, is too extravagant!
Then he coughed lightly and said, "This Steve is so clueless. He has such a treasure, so why are he trying to steal electromagnetic body skills?"
After all, according to the old lady's comments, the electromagnetic body method is only worth two supremes at most.
"He doesn't dare to let people know," Mrs. Jia replied steadily, "otherwise he won't be able to keep it."
Qu Jianlei was slightly surprised when he heard this, "The Supreme Being can't protect such a thing?"
"There are also strong and weak people in the highest level." Mrs. Jia replied calmly, "I'm quite curious, how could you break it?"
This is asking me to take out things, right? Qu Jianlei felt like he was aware of it.
But he still had a question to ask, "Grandma Jia, how did you get all this information?"
"Get..." Mrs. Jia's eyes narrowed, "There are many channels and you can live a long time. That's the good thing."
"But most of the channels are through official channels, such as academies, the military, etc. The rest is based on personal experience."
Hearing this, Qu Jianlei asked thoughtfully, "Does Green Water College have similar information?"
"Green water is impossible," Mrs. Jia shook her head and replied without hesitation, "History is too short."
What else did Qu Jianlei want to ask? The old lady couldn't help it anymore, "I've been asking for a long time, can you show me something?"
Qu Jianlei took out two severed hairpins wrapped in paper and carefully placed them on the table.
Mrs. Jia straightened her back and carefully opened the paper package. She was stunned when she saw the broken hairpin.
She carefully felt it several times with her mental power and fell into deep thought. After about a minute, she raised her head and looked at Qu Jianlei in confusion, "How did you do it so badly?"
Qu Jianlei waved his hand and replied simply, "Sorry, it's not convenient to talk about it."
He now realizes that sometimes a positive rejection is more effective than a tactful rejection, and can also break the other person's mind.
Of course, the premise is that you have this ability, otherwise it is not rejection, it is courting death.
Mrs. Jia really didn't care. After thinking for a while, she suddenly said, "How much has your cultivation level increased?"
"Cultivation...increased?" Qu Jianlei was stunned when he heard this, "Mine?"
He really didn't expect that this thing could also increase his cultivation level, but Xiaohu only got these benefits.
Mrs. Jia was even more shocked than he was, "After destroying such a treasure, your cultivation level didn't increase?"
Qu Jianlei blinked and expressed uncertainty, "It seems... it has some healing effects."
Mrs. Jia frowned when she heard this, and then nodded slowly, "Maybe... the energy on this kind of thing is very peaceful."
Qu Jianlei also frowned, "Does it have energy? I only sensed some mental replenishment."
"I don't know about that," Mrs. Jia shook her head simply.
The next moment, she said thoughtfully, "But it is difficult to say that it is not normal to replenish mental power to defend against mental attacks?"
Qu Jianlei was thinking about something else, "You said the energy is relatively peaceful...is that a different energy?"
"You have to ask your own family about this," Mrs. Jia replied simply, "There are some things that I shouldn't tell you."
Qu Jianlei pondered for a while and said, "Last question, does this kind of energy belong to the civilization that has mastered the divine script?"
Since it is called divine writing, it must belong to other civilizations.
Even if there are some civilizations different from the empire in this universe, they should not be called gods.
"Of course," Mrs. Jia replied without hesitation.
She doesn't think that the other party doesn't know this
message, and then sighed, "It's a pity that it appeared too briefly."
Qu Jianlei suppressed his inner excitement and asked in a deep voice, "I don't know much about this civilization. Can you elaborate on it?"
Mrs. Jia rolled her eyes at him and said, "Go back and ask your family. If they don't tell you, that means you are not qualified to know."
I have a son from my own family, Qu Jianlei, who didn’t want to say anything anymore. He took a look at the broken hairpin and said, “Then I’ll take it away?”
Mrs. Jia's mouth moved, and it was obvious that she was also very interested in the remains of the broken hairpin.
But she still watched Qu Jianlei put away the broken hairpin, and just asked softly, "Can you tell me how you broke it?"
Qu Jianlei shook his head and replied with a smile, "Who doesn't have some secrets?"
Watching him leave, Mrs. Jia stared at his back, then shook her head slightly, "You really don't dare to show anything."
Qu Jianlei's gains today are not small, especially when he is sure that there are really people from China who have been here.
And there should not be too few people who know this news. I just hate that the information barrier still exists.
The key is that this kind of barrier is still a tacit understanding formed together, which is different from what is officially promoted.
Even Mrs. Jia is like this. She has helped Qu Jianlei a lot, and even helped deal with Steve.
But when it comes to this topic, she won't say a word more.
That afternoon, the atmosphere in the old city became tense. City guards and patrolmen stepped up patrols and began door-to-door investigations.
The library was also investigated, and everyone was called out to verify their identity, even those who borrowed books were not spared.
But no matter what, this is a government agency after all, and the investigators just go through the procedures casually.
Strictly speaking, this is not a case of malfeasance on the part of the investigators. It’s really that...a metropolitan area with a population of 50 million is simply incapable of conducting a detailed investigation!
The investigation of Qu Jianlei was relatively strict, and I don't know if the government got the big list from the Quantum Group.
Qu Jianlei kept his composure and acted like there was nothing wrong with him. However, after questioning him twice, some people still expressed that they wanted to take him away for a thorough investigation.
The investigation power is not enough, so we can take it back and investigate slowly, right?
At this moment, Mrs. Jia came forward and spoke tremblingly, "Panda, come here and help me sort out the books."
No one would care about a gray-haired old woman, but the curator said, "Panda, go ahead."
The investigators were quite dissatisfied, but the curator coughed lightly and said, "Grandma Jia is the A-level guarding Guben Building!"
A-level warriors are really far away from ordinary people, and anyone who knows the library knows what the nature of the Guben Building is.
So after some hesitation, they didn't bother Qu Jianlei anymore and let him go.
