A certain sword soul's infinite journey

"Okay, let's get down to business, where is the citrine you found?"

"In the museum where I work."

"Why didn't you bring it?"

"Because it is the property of the museum, I have no right to use it."

"It's okay, you can do it now." Lin Yi waved his hand casually and said, "I have already bought that museum in your name, and now, that citrine is your personal property."

"..." Diana was slightly taken aback, and then showed helplessness.

It is estimated that after this incident, she will consider changing another job again.

7Chapter 16 The God of Lies

After clearing up her helpless mood, Diana became serious and began to explain to Lin Yi how she discovered the peculiarity of the citrine.

"In the museum, I usually work on art restoration and archeology, but because of the theft of cultural relics in the museum a year ago, I had to show my ability to decipher Latin. Since then, other sections of the museum have often Ask me to decipher the Latin script on the artifact."

"Three days ago, my friend Barbara Minerva, an expert in geology and mineralogy, came to me with that strange citrine and asked me to help decipher the Latin text on it. Of course I Will not refuse, so I translated the Latin text under the citrine, that is, "hold this thing, make a wish""

"Then, the strangest thing happened. A colleague passing by heard my translation, so he put his hand on the citrine as a joke and wished for a cup of coffee. As a result, half a minute later, another colleague just bought more A cup of coffee, so I gave this extra cup of coffee to him."

"His wish has really been granted!"

Diana frowned, looking a little dignified.

Donna's eyes lit up, and she said expectantly, "It sounds like a wishing stone, mom, you actually have such a magical thing, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You're so naive, Donna."

Diana shook her head and said, "It is absolutely impossible for there to be any wishing stones in the world. Even if there are, it is absolutely impossible for them to be free. Otherwise, the world would already be in chaos."

"Who said there is no wishing stone in the world!"

Donna snorted, then hugged Lin Yi's neck from behind, and said with a smile: "For me, my grandfather is my wishing stone! And it's the kind that has tried everything! So...you can satisfy Donna A little wish from you?"

Lin Yi couldn't help laughing when he heard Tang Na's sweet and tiresome acting like a baby.

Compared with Diana who grew up on Paradise Island, Donna didn't have any ups and downs in her growth process. She has been loved by her elders since she was a child. It can be said that she almost grew up in a honeypot. Diana was much better as a child.

Lin Yi smiled and patted the white wrist on his neck, and said in a doting tone: "Of course, for our little Donna, let alone one wish, so what if a hundred wishes!"

"That's what you said, I'm going to Paradise Island!"

"Okay, how about going now?"

"Grandfather, you are the best!"

Donna was overjoyed immediately, leaned her head and kissed Lin Yi's cheek, and then looked at him expectantly.

Lin Yi's smile remained unchanged, a faint silver-white light bloomed from the tip of his right finger, and a silver-white crack about the size of a person was torn open with a light stroke.

The cracks open to both sides like a rolling curtain, revealing a beautiful scene of mountains and rivers.

Donna immediately cheered, ran to her father Steve and kissed him on the forehead, then carefully hugged the expressionless Diana, and then got into the silvery white crack.

Soon, the silver-white crack closed.

The iceberg-like expression on Diana's face instantly melted, and then she looked at Lin Yi helplessly and said, "Teacher, why do you spoil her so much..."

"Girls, petting doesn't matter, didn't you do the same when you were young?"

"I don't!" Diana rolled her eyes with a flushed face, and then sighed slightly, "Forget it, let her go, and just talk to my mother for me-although I think she just misses Paradise Island arena..."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can see Donna, your mother will be very happy."

"Yes, she must be very happy."

Diana showed a smile as if thinking of something, then came back to her senses and asked seriously: "So, teacher, do you know the origin of that citrine?"

"of course I know."

Lin Yi nodded, and said with a serious expression: "But before that, tell me, besides your colleague who wished coffee, has anyone else made a wish on that topaz?"

Seeing Lin Yi's serious expression, Diana also became serious.

"No more." Diana shook her head, "After I discovered the strange power of citrine, I borrowed that citrine from Barbara under the pretext of studying ancient Latin characters, and it is now stored in my office. in the lockable drawer of the desk."

"Very good." Lin Yi nodded, "Because if I'm not mistaken, that citrine should be left by the God of Lies back then, and its existence form is somewhat similar to your lasso of mantra."

"My lasso of truth?"

"That's right, your mantra lasso is actually just a carrier of the power of truth, and what exerts this power is the power of rules called truth. Similarly, the citrine wishing stone you found is the same, but it contains It is not the truth, but the power of rules called lies and dreams!"

"...lies and dreams?"

Steve's eyes widened in astonishment, and he subconsciously blurted out: "That is to say, the wish I made wasn't really fulfilled?"

"No!" Diana shook her head solemnly, "The wish was indeed fulfilled, and Bohr really drank that cup of coffee. I can assure you that that cup of coffee is definitely not a false illusion!"

"exactly."

Lin Yi nodded and said: "His wish was indeed fulfilled, but it was realized in the form of a lie. As the price, something must have been taken away from him by the lie."

"……for example?"

"For example, his love, friendship, family affection, or lifespan..."

"..." Diana and Steve looked at each other.

Steve couldn't help but said, "It sounds like the devil's deal."

Lin Yi shook his head: "Believe me, the real devil is much more greedy than the god of lies."

Diana nodded thoughtfully: "No wonder I always find this thing somewhat familiar."

Lin Yi said with a smile: "So you should be glad that all he wants is a cup of coffee. If he wants to become the richest man in the world, he will probably die of terminal illness immediately after getting the wealth. Many, this is the usual drama of the God of Lies."

Diana nodded and said, "No wonder you suddenly dismissed Donna..."

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "That kid's character is too out of character, and he can easily make a wish on that topaz because he can't control his curiosity, so he is not suitable to act with us."

Diana smiled bitterly: "I will discipline her well in the future."

Lin Yi smiled and said: "The child is getting older, but he is not so easy to discipline—well, it's not too late, before more people discover the secret of that citrine, take me to the museum first!"

"Yeah." Diana and Steve nodded.

……

Half an hour later, the black car stopped at the gate of the museum building.

Lin Yi and Diana Steve walked towards the museum, but were stopped by the security guard at the door.

In other words, it was only Lin Yi and Steve who were stopped. As a staff member of the museum, Diana naturally knew the security guard at the gate.

"Diana, it's not that I'm unaccommodating, it's that the manager just told me that the entire museum must be cleared to welcome any distinguished guests today, and there's nothing I can do..."

The security guard at the door pulled Diana aside and whispered.

Diana frowned, and when she was about to speak, Lin Yi walked over from behind with a smile.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation, but if I remember correctly, the so-called distinguished guest you mentioned should be me."

"……you?"

The security guard looked at Lin Yi with surprise and suspicion.

Lin Yi smiled without saying a word, took out his mobile phone and made a call, then pressed the speakerphone.

"Dear Mr. Prince, I have ordered my subordinates to clear the museum according to your instructions. When can you come to visit our museum?"

A familiar yet unfamiliar flattering voice came from the mobile phone, and the security guard could tell that it belonged to his immediate superior without even judging.

"I'm at the gate of the museum now."

After speaking, Lin Yi hung up the phone and walked into the museum first.

Diana gave a comforting smile to the nervous security guard, then followed Steve's arm.

Walking in the hall of the museum, Steve smiled and said in a voice transmission: "If I'm not mistaken, that security guard should like you."

"So what." Diana gave him a blank look, "Every male staff member with normal aesthetics in the museum likes me."

"What about the teacher?"

"The teacher is God."

"Zeus is also a god."

"..."

Diana stopped and gave him a calm but dangerous look.

Steve quickly explained with a wry smile: "Don't get me wrong, what I mean is, since the teacher wants to experience human life with a human body, shouldn't we also find a companion for the teacher, such as a mother..."

Steve's old mother had passed away ten years ago, so the mother he was talking about at the moment was probably the Amazon Queen on Paradise Island, Hippolyta.

This guy actually wants to lead the red thread for the teacher and mother?

Diana was dumbfounded for a moment.

"Don't even think about it!"

Diana rolled her eyes and said in a low voice: "Don't use your superficial human thinking to speculate on the teacher. He is an ancient existence far beyond your imagination. Also, you thought the teacher would not be able to hear you through sound transmission. Don't forget, this is the trick that the teacher taught you back then!"

"..."

Steve's expression froze immediately, and he raised his neck mechanically and stiffly, just in time to meet Lin Yi's half-smiling eyes in front of him.

Just looking at each other, cold sweat dripped down on Steve's forehead. Fortunately, the manager who had just talked to Lin Yi arrived in time with a large group of museum staff, which barely helped him out.

7Chapter 17 'The Wishing Stone'

"Welcome to Washington!"

The brown-haired man in a suit and leather shoes greeted him with a smile on his face, and warmly extended his hand to Lin Yi: "Mr. Prince, I welcome you on behalf of the State Museum—do you want me to assign staff to act as your guide?"

"no need."

Lin Yi shook his head, and looked at Diana beside him with a smile: "To be honest, my daughter worked in this museum before, and I would like to have her as a guide."

"……daughter?!"

The manager looked at Diana in a little astonishment, and then teased with a smile all over his face: "I really didn't expect... Diana, you have deceived us so badly!"

"Sorry, Andre, I didn't mean it either. After all, you never asked about my family situation, did you?"

Diana smiled, then turned to look at Steve beside her as if remembering something: "Oh, by the way, this is my husband, Steve Trevor."

"Nice to meet you."

Steve smiled and held out his hand.

Andre quickly held his hand enthusiastically, and said with a smile on his face: "I have known you for a long time! I have long wanted to meet the man who is said to have abducted the flower of our museum. I saw him today, and he really deserves his reputation!"

Steve smiled politely.

Andre was very discerning, immediately let go of his hand, looked at Lin Yi and said with a smile: "In this case, we will not bother you three, if there is anything, just come to my office to find me, Diana knows Where is my office?"

"no problem."

Lin Yi smiled and nodded, watching Andre and the museum staff behind him leave.

Diana walked up to Lin Yi, looked at the curly-haired woman who looked back at the three of them from time to time, and said in a low voice, "Teacher, she is the friend I mentioned, Barbara Minerva, can you It can be seen, has she made a wish to the wishing stone?"

Lin Yi frowned slightly, and a faint silver light flashed in his eyes.

Three seconds later, Lin Yi looked away, and shook his head at Diana's worried gaze.

Diana finally breathed a sigh of relief. If the citrine was really based on lies to weave dreams, she would never want any of her friends to have anything to do with it, especially the kind and shy Barbara.

She is a good girl who is not good at speech and social. When she comes home from get off work at night, she often brings a dinner to the homeless on the side of the road. She also takes time to take care of the stray cats in the community.

If such a kind girl makes a wish to Citrine because of her extravagant translation, it is entirely her own responsibility...

Seeing Diana's expression, Lin Yi smiled and patted her on the shoulder comfortingly.

"Friendship has no boundaries. Even if you change jobs, I believe you can continue to be friends."
