Qin Zhibo rubbed his hair for three days and had no time to take care of it. He was a little embarrassed and said, "Snake..."
"Is there anything else besides that?"
"For example, why do they want to stop you from stealing gems? Do they also want to steal gems and sell them?"
Hearing the word "ye" in Qin Zhibo's words, Kuroba Kaito looked a little unhappy.
Please! When will I steal gems and sell them?
but...
"Those people probably didn't steal gems for the purpose of selling them..."
Kuroba Kaito held his chin as if thinking, recalling the situation that day.
"Snake handed the gem to a bald man in a kimono, and the bald man mentioned 'that gentleman'."
"He said that although 'that gentleman' can easily obtain gems, he cannot obtain life..."
"He also said that the mysterious gems scattered around the world possess an indescribable power that is beyond the reach of human wisdom."
"According to legend, whenever Halley's Comet, which is closest to the earth, returns to the earth every 10,000 years, if Pandora, the stone of life among the gems, is offered to the full moon, the stone of life will shed tears."
"Then if you drink your tears, you can live forever..."
Having said this, Kuroba Kaito felt his face getting slightly hot.
Looking back now, these words are quite secondary...
Immortality can be achieved by finding mysterious gems. This is not even a legend, it is just like a fairy tale.
The difference between legends and myths is that legends have historical stories as their source, and later generations exaggerated and exaggerated them, and finally evolved into legends.
Myths, on the other hand, are completely fictitious creations with no trace of authenticity at all. Most of them involve the worship of superpowers and nihilistic fantasies.
In Kuroba Kaito's perception, the reason why this organization collects gems is entirely to realize an impossible myth.
Although it feels a bit magical realism, Kuroba Kaito has to accept this fact.
Because this organization killed his father for this nonsense reason, and continues to collect the world's super gems at all costs.
At this time, Qin Zhibo on the side was also thinking carefully about the information revealed by Kuroba Kaito.
The first thing worth paying attention to is that the gentleman...
Qin Zhibo remembered what Xia Mei said in the car, which mentioned the Baron.
According to previous reasoning, this baron is likely to be a leader of the Beast Brotherhood and an old man who is over a hundred years old.
If "that gentleman" refers to him, then he is in urgent need of Pandora, the legendary stone of life that can give people life.
When a person has a position of power, money, and everything that money can buy, it is really time to think about obtaining a more permanent life.
This human habit began thousands of years ago...
That gentleman: "I want to live forever!"
Qin Shihuang: "Me too!"
But in terms of methods, the Baron of the Beast Brotherhood found a more specific method instead of refining the elusive elixir of life.
Halley's Comet returns to Earth once every 10,000 years...
etc!
Doesn’t Halley’s Comet here return every 76 years?
Qin Zhibo immediately raised this doubt, and Terai Huangnosuke took out a laptop from behind the bar at the right time, opened the relevant web page and began to explain.
"Sir, the one you are talking about is Little Halley's Comet. It was discovered by the British astronomer Edmund Halley. It does return to the Earth every 76.1 years."
"And those people were probably talking about 'Big Harley.'"
This time it was Qin Zhibo's turn to be confused, because this knowledge was beyond the scope of ordinary people's cognition.
“What is ‘Big Halley’? Are there different sizes of Halley’s comets?”
Terai Konosuke pointed to the computer page and said: "In 1888, the Planetarium of the University of Brightchester in the United Kingdom announced that it had discovered another comet that was about to return to the earth."
"They called it the 'Big Halley' comet, and calculated that the size of the comet is far larger than that of Little Halley. It returns once every ten thousand years. Once it returns, it will affect the earth's magnetic field and lead to the mass extinction of life on the earth."
"The Ice Age 10,000 years ago was caused by the return of Comet 'Great Halley'."
After listening to Terai Huangnosuke's explanation, Qin Zhibo felt that it was very nonsense.
This is like a 2012 doomsday prophecy that has been played out in the future. It is simply nonsense.
Although the ice age 10,000 years ago sounds scary, in fact people with some common sense know that the earth has experienced dozens of ice ages or even more.
The cause of this is very complicated, but it is definitely not caused by the return of comets causing changes in the earth's magnetic field.
Thinking in his mind, Qin Zhibo looked at the webpage that Terai Huangnosuke jumped to.
The webpage is in pure English, but for Hawaiian Qin Zhibo, reading it is as easy as drinking water.
The theory mentioned above is that the return of the Great Halley's Comet will cause the positions of stars in the entire solar system and even the Milky Way to change.
Then there is another inexplicable theory from Barabara.
For example, the demise of Hyperboral, the legendary Northern Continent, was caused by the return of the Great Halley.
However, Qin Zhibo knew that Hybril was a place name in Greek mythology. Like the lost underwater city of Atlantis, it was not a place name that could prove its existence at all.
But such a fascinating paper actually appeared in one of the world's top academic magazines, Nature.
The most bizarre thing is that the publisher of this paper, the Planetarium of the University of Brightchester, actually hand-drawn a pencil drawing and placed it in this paper as an imaginary diagram of the Great Halley's Comet.
It was a hand-drawn drawing of a planet. Different from other planets, it used an anthropomorphic technique to depict a somewhat naughty big eye.
Draw eyes on the planet...
Is this drawing a comic?
"This kind of paper can be published, it's just a group of mentally ill people..." Qin Zhibo sighed.
Terai Huangnosuke and Kuroba Kaito nodded in agreement, and then said: "Actually, this paper caused a huge response once it was published."
"Many big figures in the academic world have criticized this as deviant, and the university has jointly held a debate with the University of Brichester to refute this insult to academics face to face."
"It's just that before the debate officially started, an explosion occurred in the hotel where the opposing university's debate team was staying, and all members of the debate team were killed."
"There have been no more public outcry against Halley's Comet since then..."
"However, the University of Brightchester has not publicized the discovery of Halley's Comet. Today, few people know about Halley's Comet."
Terai Kinosuke revealed the information he found, which made Qin Zhibo feel that there was definitely a shady story behind it.
"So, which university does the debate team that was bombed by physics belong to?"
Terai Huangnosuke thought for a moment and murmured: "It seems... secret..."
