Chapter 130 The Blood Scripture
Zoe could always unintentionally enlighten Gabriel.
Gabriel finally sorted things out.
And all the clues naturally presented the whole picture.
The Davis family secretly bribed archaeological surveyors, but they were not primarily to sell the relics for profit.
For such a powerful family, taking such a risk was absolutely unnecessary.
Their goal was to find the stone statue of the Thunder God Protector in the ancient tomb.
There was more than one statue of the Thunder God Protector.
The Davis family had found one.
But before they could collect the second one, he found they were hiding relics.
Then he couldn't use the archaeological surveyors as a clue.
At the critical moment, the second statue of the Thunder God Protected was unearthed.
Although the Davis family had fallen, the buyer behind it still desperately wanted to obtain the statue. Therefore, they took the risk of hiring the Blood Eagle Mercenary Corps.
This was the reason why the Blood Eagle Mercenary Corps appeared in Silverwood.
With all this sorted out, there were only two crucial questions left.
The first one: who was behind the Davis family?
It was probably not Tyler, or not just him.
If Tylor was the only one, there was no need to sell the relics overseas.
The second one: what was the secret behind the stone statue of the Thunder God Protector?
This was harder to guess.
But one thing was certain: the secret was supposedly not the statue itself, but there was a secret behind the statue!
Anyway, the Blood Eagle Mercenary Corps would not try to break through the encirclement of hundreds of police officers while carrying a stone statue on their shoulders.
He was thinking about this when his phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw "Santos Adams" on the screen.
"Hi, Mr. Adams."
He narrowed his eyes and answered the call.
Santos's voice came from the phone, "I have something to tell you, Gabriel. We found something from the dead body of a mercenary!"
"What is it?" Gabriel asked curiously.
Santos answered, "To be precise, it's a book! Or rather, a scripture written in blood!"
"A scripture written in blood?" Gabriel was very surprised and sat up straight. "How is that possible? It's a tomb from the late Middle Ages. What kind of scripture can remain intact after about a thousand years? Let alone one written in blood."
Santos explained, "According to the experts, it's made of special hemp paper, so it has been preserved for such a long time. Also, it has to do with the preservation environment!
"According to the archaeological surveyors you rescued, it was those criminals who opened the mechanism on the Thunder God Protector's statue and took out the book!
"But the experts searched the statue for a long time but couldn't find the mechanism. In the end, they interrogated the criminal you didn't kill and finally learned how to open the mechanism!
"The mechanism is the arm of the Thunder God Protector. When you rotate the arm in a certain order, the mechanism on the chest will open!
"What is hidden in the mechanism is a highly precise sealed space. That's why the blood scripture can remain intact today!
"By the way, I had someone try it on the Thunder God Protector's statue in the secret passage of the Davis family. Indeed, there is also a mechanism on its chest!
"But that one is empty!"
Upon hearing that, Gabriel finally saw the light.
He had just been thinking that the secret of the Thunder God Protector was not the statue itself.
Now his guess was verified. The real secret was the blood scripture.
Surely, there also had been a blood scripture inside the statue in the Davis family's secret passage.
But it had been transported overseas.
Why did the person behind the scenes hire the Blood Eagle Mercenary Corps? Because they wanted to seize the second blood scripture.
"Oh, I see!" Gabriel mumbled. Then he said to Santos, "Mr. Adams, you must send men to take care of the blood scripture. The person behind the Davis family is to seek after the blood scripture. Since they could hire so many mercenaries, they won't give up so easily!"
"Got it!" Santos said. "We are now interrogating the surviving criminal. If we get anything new, I will inform you immediately!"
"Okay."
Gabriel hung up and began thinking.
Why were things getting messier?
Ancient tomb, strange statues, blood scripture!
What on earth was the secret beneath all this?
Zoe closed her physics book again and casually said, "In ancient times, there were many enlightened monks or Taoists who copied scriptures in blood! For example, an enlightened monk once copied Avatamsaka-sutra in blood, and a great Taoist was said to have copied scriptures in blood, too!"
"You are so knowledgeable, Zoe!" Gabriel praised. Then he murmured, "It means that the most basic principle to decide whether a blood scripture is a Taoist sutra or a Buddhist sutra is to identify the one who copied the scripture: a monk or a Taoist!"
"You're really smart, Gabriel!" Zoe smiled sweetly and opened her physics book again.
Gabriel tapped his forehead. This matter would have to be left to the experts to study.
Although he was also curious, that seemed to have nothing to do with him. What he should do was prevent retaliation from the person behind the Davis family.
After a while, Christopher came home.
He was very happy to see Gabriel.
And Gabriel could have a chance to taste his fried noodles again.
There was no place like home.
That night, Gabriel had a comfortable and sound sleep in his own room. In the second half of the night, he even began snoring. The noise was so loud that Blind John cursed in annoyance.
The next day was Monday.
Gabriel and Zoe got up together and went out. Then Gabriel treated Zoe to coffee and tea.
Feeling bored, he leisurely made his way to the Dark Night Club.
When he arrived at the club's entrance, he looked up and saw that there was already a signboard there.
The words "Dark Night Club" were quite impressive.
The opening was around the corner, but some floors were yet to be decorated.
He came straight to the eighth floor, pushed open the door to the combat room, and heard a burst of shouting.
Thomas and the Twelve Birds were diligently training their combat skills.
Wearing a leather jacket, Maria looked as heroic as before.
She was chewing gum with her arms crossed. From time to time, she would go instruct them.
"Mr. Gabriel..."
Thomas was very excited to see Gabriel.
He stopped training, ready to go over and greet him.
But Maira kicked his butt and scolded, "If you haven't finished training, no matter who comes, you'll keep training!"
As she spoke, she turned around and glared at Gabriel.
Thomas dared not speak anymore and resumed his training.
Gabriel narrowed his eyes and smiled. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
He was quite satisfied with everything he saw.
It was so right to have invited Maria to be the master of the eighth floor.
A strict teacher produced outstanding students!
"Gabriel!"
Just then, Ava rushed over from the corner.
She seemed very happy and smiled sweetly.
The dimples on her face danced playfully.
"Oh, you scared me! The club hasn't even opened yet. Why are you here?"
Gabriel looked at Ava with dislike.
Ava pouted and said a little angrily, "Do you really hate seeing me that much now? You're such a fickle scumbag!"
Gabriel smiled wryly and shook his head. He really didn't know how to deal with Ava's clinginess.
He shrugged, appearing indifferent, and said, "Fine, I'm a scumbag. Then I'm going upstairs to see my new love!"
Stella, the chick, was probably at work now.
"Scumbag, scumbag, scumbag!"
Watching Gabriel leave, Ava stamped her feet in anger.
But she then followed after him...
