Chapter 44
“I’m at… the second floor of Gerton Building No. 3.”
Oliver was inexplicably afraid of Sienna. First, she was a police officer, second, she was very fierce, third, they slept together that night while they were drunk
He was not sure whether they actually did the deed, but in short, everything was a mess.
Soon, Sienna arrived, dressed in a police uniform. With her beautiful face and tall height, she looked attractive.
Fabian and the other five men were stunned. They thought. “This girl is so pretty!”
She was even prettier than Yvonne and the other four, but none of them dared to flirt with her because of her eye-catching police uniform.
“Well… What’s the matter?” In front of so many subordinates, Oliver was a little flustered. He thought, “She better not bring that incident up, or I will be so embarrassed.”
Sienna pointed downstairs and said, “Follow me to the police station!”
Oliver’s heart skipped a beat, and he shrank back. “I didn’t break any law, did I?”
“Who said you broke the law? I need your help with something. Hurry up, urged Sienna impatiently.
Hearing that she needed help, Oliver breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He then put on airs and responded, “The police can’t force me to do anything, can they? I don’t want to go.”
“You don’t want to go?” Sienna was stunned. It seemed as if she never considered the possibility that Oliver would not agree.
After that, her face darkened. She took out a pair of shiny handcuffs and threatened, “Will you go or not?”
Immediately, Wayne shielded Oliver and said to Sienna coldly, Mr. Eastwood refuses to go. Citizens have the right to refuse a summon if they did not violate the law. Please go back, or I will submit a complaint to the Police!”
Sienna had no scruples about Oliver, but she was less arrogant with others. Wayne had this aura that intimidated her, and he seemed to know much about how things worked in the police field. With just a few words, he managed to hit the nail on the head.
Sienna glanced at Oliver behind Wayne and snorted, “Ha, you even hired a hatchet man? Do you think I can’t do anything to you?”
Oliver just smiled without a word, neither wanting to make her angry nor be bullied by her.
Pursing her lips, Sienna began contemplating something.
When Oliver stared at her delicate and beautiful face, he noticed a trace of anxiety in her eyes.
There was something strange about Sienna. At that moment, Oliver suddenly felt that she was despondent and in danger.
For some reason, Oliver’s heart throbbed. He reached out and patted Wayne on his shoulder, saying, “You guys discuss the interior design and cooperate with the designer from the interior design company. I’ll go with her, so let’s talk about this later
Since Oliver himself compromised, Wayne didn’t stop the former anymore.
With that, Oliver went downstairs with Sienna. She got into a police car parked on the roadside, while Oliver got in from the other sideNôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Observing that Sienna’s expression was serious throughout the ride, Oliver couldn’t help but ask her, “What exactly do you need me for?
Sienna opened her mouth, but she didn’t say anything. After a short hesitation, she said, “I don’t know how to describe it. Let’s talk about it when you get to the police station.
She didn’t say why, so Oliver stopped asking.
When they arrived at the police station, Sienna took Oliver to the eighth floor by elevator.
It was where the Property and Evidence Unit was located
Basically, it was a warehouse for all kinds of evidence and setzed items
After greeting the people in Property and Evidence Unit, Sienna entered a small office inside.
The office looked like a reception room with a table and a few chairs. On the table, there was a small box sealed with insulating plastic.
Sienna pointed at the box and said to Oliver, “In the case last time, we caught that group of tomb raiders using the information you gave and seized a batch of stolen antiques. But there’s something strange about one of the items, and our experts can’t identify it. One of the tomb raiders is dead, and the other is still in the intensive care unit. The hospital cannot
identify the disease. However, both of them have something in common…”
Sienna then looked at Oliver and pondered for a while before continuing, “They have all touched the thing in this box.”
Oliver immediately understood. “Did you ask me to come here to identify what this is?”
Sienna nodded. “Yes. Although we don’t believe in the supernatural, it’s better that we maintain a scientific and cautious approach. Don’t touch this item with your hands; just look through the glass box.”
“Okay,” answered Oliver.
Sienna instantly put on a pair of insulating gloves. She first unwrapped the plastic layer outside and exposed the small box inside before opening its lid.
Inside the box was a transparent cubic glass box.
Next, Sienna carefully took out the glass box and placed it on the table.
Oliver got closer and stared at it.
There was only an oval marble in there which looked like an eyeball.
When he looked carefully, he found that it was like a white eyeball with a black pupil in the middle.
Moreover, Oliver sensed that the eyeball seemed to be looking at him too.
Surprised, Oliver stared at it carefully. Information popped up in his mind just then.
[Tristar Eyeball Sculpture, made in 641 AD, is one-third of Henry Callum’s treasure map. The pupil of the eyeball contains mysterious Blood Malediction Runes. Those who come into direct contact with it will be possessed by the Blood Malediction and die of vascular burst 90 days later.]
[Initial symptoms include reddening of eyes within 3 days. An eyeball mark appears on the person’s back within 10 days and gradually becomes clearer. When the mark completely turns dark red on the 90th day, the person dies of the vascular burst.]
[Craftsmanship: Superb Level Two.]
[Appraised value: Priceless.]
Oliver was stunned when he read the message.
He then wondered, “Its craftsmanship is Superb Level Two. What does that mean? And the appraised value is priceless… Does that mean it has no value or that its value cannot be measured with existing currencies?”
Seeing Oliver walk around the table and study the item for a long time, Sienna frowned and asked him, “Can you tell what this is?”
Oliver hesitated for a moment before nodding. “I once read a record in a manuscript. This thing is Tristar Eyeball Sculpture, which is said to contain the secret of Henry Callum’s treasure map. It is said that there are mysterious Blood Malediction Runes in this eyeball sculpture. People who come into direct contact with it will be cursed by the Blood Malediction and die of the vascular burst within 90 days.”
Sienna’s face suddenly changed at that. “Are… Are you sure?” she questioned shakingly.
Oliver shook his head. “I don’t know. I just saw such a record in a manuscript that I can’t find anymore. It seems to be very similar to this eyeball sculpture, but… I’m not really sure.”
Sienna looked pale as she said in a trembling voice, “But… But what you said is… the same as what happened. It’s exactly the same!”
