Chapter 35 Investigation
Lucien was in place for a moment, and Lazal almost hit his back. Fortunately, he reacted in time: "What's wrong?"
"There is a curse in the vase." Lucien said without time to identify it, and chose the easiest way for Lazal to understand.
"What? Curse!" Lazar's voice suddenly became loud, and he could not understand Lucien's calm and composed attitude, and seemed to be a little excited?!
"The secret is up, Lucien! This is murdering you with a curse! Why do you seem to be talking about today's weather?" Lazar left Lucien from the vase, sure and sure that he saw a flash of fanatical excitement flashing through Lucien's eyes.
Lucien restrained his excitement, stopped his saliva that seemed to be flowing out, and made himself act like a victim, his voice suppressed his anger: "Lazar, close the Institute of Atomics and not let anyone go out, gather all the gifts he received during this period, and I report to the Affairs Committee."
"Okay!" Lazar usually looks hippie and smiling, optimistic and enthusiastic, but never talks at critical moments.
When Lazal left and opened the blocking magic circle, let the apprentice of magicians, such as Rock, Annick, and other magicians, apprentices, put all the gifts they received in the small conference room, Lucien carefully looked at this simple vase. Since it caused electronic induction in its own cognitive world within a close range, it means that it is likely to be β rays (also an electron flow), so the possibility of radioactive elements is the greatest.
In fact, Lucien had been looking for elements with sufficient radioactivity among dozens of elements that had been discovered a long time ago. After all, no matter the nuclear bombs that the people on earth are most familiar with or various other uses, they are inseparable from this type of element. However, even if many unstable isotopes are radioactive, none of them meet Lucien's requirements. Until today, they were "cursed" and had unexpected gains.
Without delaying the time, Lucien pushed the monocle glasses on his left eye: "Tangpu, I found a vase with a curse in my study. I suspected it was the assassination of the church. I sent someone to investigate as soon as possible."
"I am currently outside, so I will ask the investigators from the corrections department to come over immediately, and I will rush back as soon as possible." An audit committee member, the most potential high-level arcane, was assassinated by someone with a curse. It was a very bad incident, and he was also his own classmate. Even if Tang Pu had just submitted his paper and went out without any hesitation, he gave up on what he had at hand and returned directly.
At the same parliamentary headquarters, less than three minutes after the investigation by the Department of Corrections entered the Institute of Atomic Studies.
There were five investigators who arrived, leading a middle-aged man with brown curly hair and dark skin. He wore the "Black Scepter Badge" from the Punishment Department on his chest, four silver stars arcane badges, and six black rings of magic badges.
"Commissioner Evans, I am the deacon of the Department of Compliance. Today I am the rotation of the Department of Compliance. I accept the order of the Commissioner of Tom Po to investigate the curse incident." The dark skin, as if the ethnic group of people from the Desert of Calais and the southern Kingdom of Briana, expressed an extremely solemn and serious expression.
The Department of Punishment does not have a minister, only twelve deputy ministers with low arcane levels and magic levels in the seventh or eighth rings are directly led by the affairs committee, so even if Barack is a high-level magician, he can only become a deacon.
Lucien asked Rock and other magicians and apprentices to gather in an office. Another investigator asked him and Lazar to walk into the small conference room with Barack and pointed to the vase in their room before and said, "Barack, this vase has a curse."
Barack released the inspection magic, but there was no reaction on the vase.
"No problem?" Barack said, and inspired a magic item on his body. A light green light shone on the vase, but he still had no response.
After changing several different levels of inspection magic in succession, Barack did not notice any of the slightest discoveries. He turned to look at Lucien in confusion: "Commissioner Evans, after my inspection, there was no curse. Or do you have any special inspection magic? Can you activate the curse?"
Although he was facing the audit committee member, Barack, who was also a high-level magician, still had the courage to express his differences.
"I don't have the corresponding magic, but I can use a magic circle in the laboratory to detect a ray." Lucien explained.
Barack didn't believe it directly: "Can you demonstrate it? Commissioner Evans, as an investigator, must verify every detail."
"No problem." Lucien asked Bellack to enter the lab with the vase and other items he sensed with "curse".
"This, isn't this cathode ray? No, the energy seems much higher!" Seeing the familiar reactions and properties, Lazar couldn't control himself and burst out of his voice.
Then he suddenly realized: "No wonder Lucien, you can sense the curse. The rays you touch every day are always familiar with!"
This is not an exaggeration. For magicians who change souls, increase their mental power, and understand the reality of the world, they can easily become familiar with something after long-term contact with it and clearly know its characteristics. However, this sense of familiarity is clearer in high-level magicians who have initially become substantial in the cognitive world, because the mapping of this thing in the cognitive world will enhance the sensing.
"But what does this have to do with the curse? Isn't this the new particle you discovered by Commissioner Evans?" Barack still didn't believe it was a "curse". "Maybe the vase is special and can freely emit electron flows? I think you may be too sensitive, it's just a coincidence."
"I insisted that it was a curse, and my star of destiny felt danger." Lucien pushed the problem to star of destiny and astrology, and no one knew his strength in this area anyway.
Barack took out the record book: "I will ask the Affairs Committee to send a high-level magician or great wizard from the curse to come and confirm it. Member Evans, please wait patiently and rest assured. Even if it is not confirmed yet, we will investigate the origin of the vase and will not delay the time to track down clues."
This is the treatment a Arcane Review Commissioner deserves.
"Okay." Lucien and Lazar, and Barack returned to the small conference room.
Worried about the curse, Barack did not let the two of them in, but went to other investigators to check what was asked about.
"What material is the vase that can emit 'cathode rays' on its own?" Lazar said in a hilarious and puzzled manner, "If we had known this material, why would we have worked hard to use gas discharge to study it."
Lucien covered his mouth and said, "It's probably a special material. I hope it's not a curse simulation. I'll always gain something when I'm assassinated once."
"No wonder I thought you were very excited before. Lucien, your greed for money is getting worse and worse. One day you will become like a dragon." Lazar suddenly realized and teased Lucien casually.
Lucien glanced at him with contempt: "That's why you haven't seen a real dragon."
After waiting for more than ten minutes, several investigators initially sorted out the inquiry records, the door of the Atomic Research Institute opened without warning, and Tang Pu accompanied a tall and thin old man in.
The old man had an ordinary face, his hair was covered with a hood, and his black magic robe was not variegated, like the darkest late night.
"Old Eye of Cursed?" Lucien recognized that he was Atlante Forman, the "Eye of Cursed" who had been to the Atomic Institute.
"I haven't returned to Calais yet and am going to stay at the headquarters for a while. I heard Fernando say that you have encountered a strange curse incident, so come and take a look. Collecting all kinds of weird curses is my hobby." Atlante's voice was plain and soft, which made people's doubts disappear.
"Please, please." Facing this "Eye of Curse" who left all kinds of strange legends, Lucien even though he was used to the legend, he felt a sense of fear and fear "from the heart".
Atlante nodded leisurely, slowly walked to the vase, paused for a few seconds, and suddenly opened his eyes, and the entire vase suddenly became a dark green color.
When Atlante opened his eyes, Lucien was in a daze. There seemed to be countless figures reflected in his black pupils, deep and weird.
"It's indeed a curse." The dark green color was filled with a little black. Atlante made a judgment. "The spell model itself is very simple, mainly relying on the special material, so it cannot be detected by most of the inspection magic. It is initially confirmed that if you are influenced by curses for a long time, you will inexplicably lose all kinds of serious illnesses until you die."
Lucien nodded secretly, finally confirming that radioactivity is part of the curse magic, and Lucien didn't know the more weird ones.
"Thank you, Mr. Atlante, for confirming that I have also locked up several magicians after asking, but I am not sure whether they intentionally or unintentionally, because the curse items containing special materials seem to be produced by a business company, and the details are very similar." Barack reported to the Curse Eye and Tangpu and Lucien.
"A thorough investigation!" Tang Pu was usually gentle and friendly, but now he was extremely cruel.
Atlante smiled and said, "I won't get involved in the investigation. Can I give me a curse vase? I'm very curious about this kind of curse and special materials."
"No problem, there are many cursed items." How could Tang Pu refuse a legend's request?
Lucien quickly agreed: "Can you leave me a few cursed items? I am very interested in special materials. It has a lot to do with the 'electronics' I have recently studied."
"No problem, the exploration of the micro world is the current focus of the parliament." Tang Pu admired Lucien's "fanity" research spirit very much. Even if he was assassinated, he didn't care at all. He devoted all his energy to research. No wonder he could get so many honors at such a young age!
A investigator was left to guard the items on the scene, and Barack and the three left to conduct a follow-up investigation.
Because the matter has not been clarified yet, except for Lucien, Lazar, Rock and others were asked to stay overnight at the parliamentary headquarters, so Lucien comforted Heidi, Katrina, Annick and other magic apprentices for a while, telling them not to be nervous, the matter will be resolved.
After doing this, it was getting darker, and Lucien simply stayed in the laboratory, preparing to seize the time to analyze the radioactive elements contained in the vase.
Just a few days later, cursed items were delivered to the door. Lucien inevitably felt a little dangerous, so he temporarily interrupted the creation of the four-ring magic "X-ray" accompanied by the "cathode ray", and prepared to create two or three unique attack and defense magic in case of emergencies.
There are many magics that radioactive elements can bring. In addition to the theory of relativity and mass-energy equations that Lucien has not yet been able to deduce (the corresponding books in the Soul Library are also sealed, and Lucien has never learned them in the past, and even if they are constructed, they are probably legendary magic, and far water cannot save near fire), as well as the "cursive" magic and the discovery of the "helium" element.
After the "helium" element was discovered, Lucien could use its liquefied structural magic to reduce the limit of ultra-low temperature again, and even reach a level of only three or four degrees Celsius from absolute zero. This ice and snow magic is likely to be even more terrifying than the higher level!
The only problem is that when casting, the material is likely to be needed, and the scope is incorrect and you will freeze to death. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!)
