Chapter 761: Refusing to Leave
"Ding-dong—"
The people arranged by Qi Yuan arrived not long after.
They were not police officers in uniform, but a group of young men in Zhongshan suits.
The leader was carrying a large box in his hand, his expression very serious.
Miss Luo Quan made a call to Qi Yuan to confirm the identity of the visitors, and then handed the Imperial Seal to the young man carrying the box.
Who knew that as soon as the young man put the Imperial Seal into the box and closed it, the whole box shook violently.
A few seconds later, with a crisp "pop," the Imperial Seal smashed a big hole in this special alloy box and flew out, and then threw itself into Miss Luo Quan's arms like a tadpole looking for its mother.
Fortunately, Wen Xia and the others were still sleeping; if they had seen this scene, I don't know if their jaws would have dropped.
In fact, not only ordinary people, but those young men in Zhongshan suits who looked extraordinary were also dumbfounded, completely not expecting such a result.
"This... what should we do?" Miss Luo Quan held the Imperial Seal with one hand, feeling that she seemed unable to shake off this treasure for a short time.
"I must report the situation to Director Qi immediately."
The young man carrying the box said, and then dialed a phone number.
"What did you say? The Imperial Seal refuses to leave, and even smashed the box?"
Qi Yuan questioned loudly, and after asking, he fell into deep thought, and finally requested a video call; he wanted to witness it with his own eyes.
There was more than one box, and the young man in the Zhongshan suit quickly went downstairs and brought another one up.
But this time the Imperial Seal reacted even more violently, not even letting those people touch it, directly shining with golden light, shaking everyone except Miss Luo Quan away.
Miss Luo Quan held her phone and filmed this scene at close range. Qi Yuan didn't even blink, watching the whole process.
"It seems it really can't be taken away." Qi Yuan showed a crying and laughing expression, "You guys wait for a while first, I have to report this matter to the top and see how to deal with it in the end."
Taking advantage of this gap, Miss Luo Quan invited the several young men who came to take the Imperial Seal into the house.
"You guys haven't had breakfast yet, right? There are bread and milk in the house, should I get you some?" Miss Luo Quan stood up and prepared to walk toward her four-meter-wide eight-door refrigerator.
"No need to trouble, we all had breakfast before coming." The middle-aged man carrying the box waved his hand and declined; there was a scar on his left cheek, not deep, but very conspicuous.
The guest said no, but as a host, you still have to take things out and put them on the coffee table; this is etiquette.
Because you don't know if people are being polite or if they really ate.
"By the way, you guys aren't surprised at all about the Imperial Seal just now."
Miss Luo Quan held a box of milk and sucked it, while testing them.
"These matters have confidentiality regulations, I'm sorry I can't discuss them with you."
The scarred young man looked at Miss Luo Quan very seriously, his tone even more resolute than when he refused Miss Luo Quan's breakfast, with no room for discussion at all.
Hearing this, Miss Luo Quan knew that she couldn't ask anything, so she didn't say anything more.
Ten minutes later, Qi Yuan made a video call.
"How is it, Director Qi, how are you planning to deal with it?" Miss Luo Quan connected the call and asked.
"Treasures have spirits. As the owner of the Imperial Seal before it entered the museum, it probably relies on you.
It probably can't be taken away, but for you, it's actually a good thing. In short, just keep it with you for the time being, but don't make it public, otherwise it may cause unnecessary public opinion trouble."
Miss Luo Quan was shocked: "Really keep it with me? Then what about the museum? There are so many people who want to see the national treasure every day, so it can't be closed forever, right?"
Qi Yuan smiled helplessly: "We can only make a fake one to fish in troubled waters, there is no other way. We can't put you in the museum's glass cabinet, right?"
To be honest, if they did this, the daily passenger flow of the Palace Museum might at least triple.
Everyone has seen many cultural relics from various countries, but they have never seen a big star exhibited in a glass window.
"Okay then, but can you tell me what's going on? Why did it suddenly fly to me, what exactly happened?"
Miss Luo Quan actually understood in her heart that it was probably the spiritual energy recovery, but she only knew that it was so, but didn't know why it was so. She needed to figure out the specific reason for the spiritual energy recovery, or how to maximize the benefits of the spiritual energy recovery.
"If it's you, it's not impossible to say." Qi Yuan hesitated for a moment, his voice sank:
"You had such high martial arts before, you should have felt some changes in your body recently, right?"
"There are some, I've become stronger." Miss Luo Quan admitted this.
"The cause of this matter has to be told from more than five thousand years ago.
According to some ancient documents, the Earth at that time still used spiritual energy, and humans could master supernatural powers and use them.
But because this power was too powerful, it gave birth to some people's ambitions, leading to frequent wars and heavy casualties among humans.
So the strongest Mayan civilization at that time, in order to prevent humans from destroying themselves, completely stripped the Earth's supernatural energy source and sent it to the moon to seal it up.
Losing the supernatural energy source, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth gradually exhausted, until it completely dried up hundreds of years ago, and no one could possess supernatural powers anymore.
But the Mayans once predicted that more than five thousand years later, that is, in 2012, the seal they set would be broken by a meteor shower from outside the sky, spiritual energy would recover, and humans would also move toward destruction because of these powers.
This is the origin of the doomsday theory.
However, the Mayan prediction appeared to have some deviations. Those meteor showers came a full seven years late, and they didn't completely destroy the seal, just bumped open a small opening.
But just the spiritual energy recovery coming out of this small opening is enough to have a considerable impact on the Earth.
The most intuitive change is that those who are blessed by public faith will gain a superhuman physique, and their lifespan, appearance, and strength will be greatly improved.
Then, it is these ancient artifacts regaining their intelligence.
These treasures were all created when spiritual energy had not yet been extinguished. At that time, they were all treasures that carried thousands of incense wishes and awakened the artifact soul.
Although the spiritual energy dried up, forcing them to enter a dormant state, now that the spiritual energy has recovered, they have awakened one after another.
Compared to humans, these treasures absorb spiritual energy faster, and humans holding them can also increase their absorption speed.
The only pity is that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is too thin, and can only make some changes to physical fitness, and there are no other special abilities."
Qi Yuan told Miss Luo Quan the whole story. Most of it was no different from what the system said, just adding a reason for why spiritual energy disappeared and why it appeared.
"So you mean, big stars with high popularity are now easily becoming superhumans?"
"Yes, this is also the reason why we need to cultivate excellent cultural and entertainment talents. The previous ones were really too bad.
If there was no spiritual energy, it would be fine, but now that there is this special power, we must arrange another batch of more excellent and higher-quality people to master it.
In fact, you are the most ideal candidate. If there are no accidents, you will also be the leader in the cultural and entertainment industry in the future."
"I'm not that powerful." Miss Luo Quan laughed and was humble.
Qi Yuan smiled and didn't speak.
"Then I will keep the Imperial Seal for the time being, and see if it can be sent back to the museum after a while."
Talking to here, Miss Luo Quan asked what she wanted to know, and wanted to end the topic.
"By the way, are there any precautions? For example, this seal cannot be exposed to the sun, or it needs to be wiped every once in a while?"
"That's not necessary. If you store it, just wrap it in a silk soft pad. Also, don't take it abroad." Qi Yuan told Miss Luo Quan the precautions.
"Okay, I've remembered all these."
Having said that, she hung up the phone.
The several middle-aged men in the living room also got up and turned to go downstairs.
They didn't touch any of the breakfast on the coffee table.
After everyone left, Miss Luo Quan returned to the room and held the Imperial Seal in her hand to examine it.
To be honest, after decomposing it from layers of gold before, she never had the opportunity to properly appreciate this national treasure.
After confirming its true identity, she handed it over to the country as soon as possible.
On the one hand, she didn't want to cause trouble, and on the other hand, she wanted to submit a letter of intent.
Facts proved that the effect of the letter of intent was very good. From then on, no matter what movie or game she made, even if the scale was relatively large, the review would be passed in seconds.
She just didn't expect that this treasure could return to her hands one day.
Although she had been its nominal owner, it was only for dozens of hours.
It is said that treasures have spirits, not to mention supreme treasures like the Imperial Seal.
I don't know if her actions at the beginning would make it feel resentful?
"So do you resent me for donating you out at the beginning?" Miss Luo Quan brought the Imperial Seal to her eyes and asked seriously.
The Imperial Seal trembled slightly, and I don't know if it was saying yes or no.
"Like this, if you have resentment, shake a few more times, if you don't resent, stop."
As soon as the voice fell, the Imperial Seal stopped immediately.
"Damn, it really understands what I said." Miss Luo Quan showed a surprised smile, "Since you don't resent, then I will still be your owner in the future. Stay with me for this period of time, and I will send you back when you want to go back to the museum to accept the worship of the people."
The Imperial Seal trembled again, as if saying okay.
"How about calling you Xiao Yu in the future?" Miss Luo Quan held the bottom of the Imperial Seal and gave it a code name without thinking.
No matter what, the Imperial Seal has followed dozens of emperors and witnessed the rise and fall of the Huaxia dynasty for thousands of years. Any First Emperor, Empress, transmigrator, or child of the plane has accompanied it.
It stands to reason that there is no problem with giving it any noble or domineering nickname.
But it only got a "Xiao Yu," which sounds like a cat.
"Is this name too gentle? It sounds like a house cat's name, not at all in line with your identity."
Miss Luo Quan couldn't help laughing, while Xiao Yu shook left and right, as if saying there is no such thing.
"Wait a minute, cat."
Miss Luo Quan suddenly had an unconstrained idea.
"System, these millennial treasures all have more spiritual energy than humans, so can you shape a body for them through these spiritual powers?
You are not good at fighting, but these special abilities for daily life should be doable, right?"
The system answered quickly: "It is possible, but the energy in Xiao Yu's body is not necessarily enough now. If only half a cat is reshaped, the painting style will be too weird.
And the body shaped by spiritual energy is not a real flesh and blood body, and there is no special value."
Miss Luo Quan didn't care about this point: "It doesn't matter if it's true or false, at least a kitten image is much more normal than an Imperial Seal, right?"
"Then I will teach it the method of illusion."
Having said that, a light shot from Miss Luo Quan's eyes into the Imperial Seal's body.
The latter trembled all over, and then a white light covered it.
When the light dissipated, the Imperial Seal had been turned by spiritual energy into a handsome cat that was snow-white all over, but with a strand of golden hair on its forehead.
The cat was about forty centimeters long, with a moderate body size, and had denser and longer fluff on its head and neck than its body, looking like a lion.
Miss Luo Quan remembered that this appearance should be a famous breed of cat, "Lion Cat," especially this snow-white one, which is the best of the best.
"This is too domineering, worthy of being a cat turned from a supreme treasure."
Miss Luo Quan held Xiao Yu back in her arms and stroked its head, finding that the touch was no different from a real cat, soft with a hint of coolness.
Although Xiao Yu in this appearance is really handsome and good-looking, it is still somewhat different from what Miss Luo Quan imagined it would become.
In her imagination, Xiao Yu was as cute as Totoro, after all, the emperor of Huaxia is also known as the True Dragon Son of Heaven.
However, after thinking about it carefully, this idea of hers is really nonsense.
The only pity is that although Xiao Yu understands her words, its intelligence is not particularly high, estimated to be about seven or eight years old.
Higher than ordinary animals, but not yet to the level of an adult.
But this is also good, just treat it as having an extra pet.
However, just when Miss Luo Quan was having fun holding Xiao Yu high, she suddenly remembered that besides it, she had another treasure with a mysterious origin in her hand.
It was the nameless iron sword brought back from her grandfather's backyard before.
It was a divine weapon that even the system praised for cutting iron like mud, and after appraisal, it was very likely to be the legendary sword of King Arthur.
Unfortunately, Miss Luo Quan practiced with it for a long time, but couldn't use Excalibur, so it was put in the cabinet by her.
Now that spiritual energy has recovered, if it is also a supreme treasure, it should have recovered too!
Thinking of this, Miss Luo Quan put Xiao Yu down, turned over and climbed up to the wardrobe, and found the nameless iron sword from a pile of messy underwear on the bottom layer.
With a "clang," Miss Luo Quan drew the sword from its sheath.
Xiao Yu on the bed suddenly arched its back, called out with vigilance, and the hair all over its body exploded like a puffer fish. ===== CHAPTER 762 =====
