Alien Paradise.

Chapter 82 "The Stone"

bang bang.

There was a knock on the door outside the office.

"Please come in." Gao Wei hung up his uniform and said with some doubts.He just entered the house today, who would come to him so early?
The door was pushed open, and Zhang Zhiyuan came in panting heavily.His condition is obviously not very good, his lips are a little dry, and there are thick dark circles around his eyes.

"Where did you go yesterday? If I remember correctly, you and Officer Cui returned the day before yesterday, but you disappeared when she came to work. Could it be that you haven't slept all day?" Gao Wei opened his thermos and gave The subordinate poured a cup of wolfberry tea, "Come on, drink some water first."

"Actually, I haven't slept for almost two days." Zhang Zhiyuan took a sip from his teacup and grinned casually, "I went to Jindu yesterday."

"If you don't report when you go out, you are getting more and more courageous now." Gao Wei said in an unhappy tone, "What's going on with the situation in Chucheng? I heard that you have caught someone, but he has nothing to do with this matter. big?"

"Sorry, sorry, this time is really special." Zhang Zhiyuan quickly put down the cup, took out a courier bag from his pocket, and placed it carefully on the table, "Reporting for a business trip needs approval, and I was really afraid that it would be too late, so I went out first. I will make a detailed report on the matter in Chucheng, but it really has nothing to do with the paradise, and it can even be said that it was a waste of time."

"Then why did you go to Jindu?"

"In order to get this courier personally." Zhang Zhiyuan confessed honestly, "If I wait for it to arrive by mail, it will probably take two to three days. If I fly, I can go back and forth in one day. And this thing...is the proof."

"What evidence?" Gao Wei asked suspiciously.

"Evidence that Paradise exists."

Gao Ju's expression suddenly became serious. He opened the plastic bag and poured out the contents.

It was a small rock.

But when he pinches it in his hand, he can feel that its touch is obviously different from that of ordinary silicate minerals.

"You mean... this is something from another world?"

"Yes." Zhang Zhiyuan actually doesn't know what it is, but the park will never do meaningless things, "There are several professional testing agencies in Beifu, and they can issue reports no matter whether it is a stone or some kind of compound. If it has ingredients that haven't been seen before, I think that's the strongest proof."

"How did you get it?" Gao Wei asked.

"A reward for Paradise Games."

"They don't know what this thing represents?"

"Know, or they know everything...just, Paradise doesn't care."

Gao Wei gave him a strange look, don't you care?This kind of statement that raises others' prestige should not be heard from the mouth of one's own capable subordinates, "You mean, they plan to show up in broad daylight?"

"No, what I mean is that Paradise's technical strength has reached a new level. At this level, we can't catch them through conventional means." Zhang Zhiyuan briefly described his situation in Chucheng to his boss, " Since it dares to do this, it is not afraid of the chain impact of this matter."

"Even the files in the big data center have been replaced? Why didn't you say this earlier?" Gao Wei's eyes widened.

"Because any network-based barrier won't work unless the equipment is powered off. You know... they won't do that either."

"Let's go." Gao Wei stood up and put on his uniform again.

"...Where are you going?" Zhang Zhiyuan was taken aback.

"Of course, go to the National Appraisal Center." He said in a deep voice, "I'll be with you."

……

The Guojian Center is not far from the Interpol Building, and it takes only 10 minutes by car.

As an official partner, the two of them didn't need to wait in line, and were directly guided into a special reception hall.A young man in a white coat greeted them, "Hi, my name is Bai Yan. May I help you?"

After Gao Wei introduced his identity, he handed over the courier bag to the other party, "That's it... I would like to ask your organization to help us detect a stone."

"Hiss..." The latter grinned when he saw the bag, obviously complaining about this packaging method, but he couldn't say it out of face, "Is it blood or DNA? But the evidence may be contaminated due to improper storage , I'm not sure the result will meet your requirements."

"No, that's something the criminal police will investigate. We just want to identify the stone itself." Zhang Zhiyuan quickly corrected.

"Gem identification?" Bai Yan put on his gloves and picked up the stone, "Hmm... Maybe it's not something valuable."

"No matter what, please produce an appraisal report."

"Okay, the charging items go to the unit, and I will arrange it for you."

"Wait," Zhang Zhiyuan stopped him again, "Can I come with you?"

"Ah?" It was the first time Bai Yan heard such a request, "I'm sorry Officer Zhang, the testing room is dust-free and sterile, you can't come in."

"Okay, sit down for me!" Gao Wei pulled him back, and then said to the inspector, "It's okay, you can do it, how long will it take?"

"One hour. You can go back first, and the report can be viewed on the APP."

"It's okay, we'll just wait here."

Bai Yan shrugged, as if he didn't quite understand the behavior of the two, but they were official clients after all, so he didn't say anything more.

"Calm down, kid!" Gao Wei glared at Zhang Zhiyuan.

"Sorry, I'm afraid he might lose the sample." The latter fidgeted a little, "Do you know? After I intercepted the stone at the forwarding station, it never left my arms."

"I understand. After all, if everything you said is true, then it is the most important evidence in the world." Gao Wei smiled, "You want to prove the existence of Paradise so hard, have you ever thought about it? As soon as you start paying attention to this matter, what do you want to do next?"

"I want to stay in the paradise and act as a contact between the two parties." Zhang Zhiyuan said slowly.

"Well... this request is not high, and it should be achievable." Gao Wei pondered for a while, "But I thought you would want to join the detection team and concentrate on finding the whereabouts of Paradise in the real world. After all, you are young and capable. The most important thing is experience, and this kind of qualifications will be of great help to your future promotion. If you just stay in the game, the qualifications are definitely not as good as the latter."

"It's okay." Zhang Zhiyuan knew exactly what he wanted to do, "If you have the opportunity to visit the paradise, you will definitely want to stay there for a few more days. In addition, I also want to tell the person sent by the above, it is best Don't rush to find the real body of the Paradise—it is the only way for us to enter another world. If we lose it, the loss will be incalculable. Besides, the Paradise itself is not important, what is important is that we can go to the new world to explore and develop. "

"You can give your opinion, but how much it will be useful is another matter." Gao Wei patted him on the shoulder, "Our credit is for discovering this big event, but if it's big enough, then we can take care of it Things are pretty limited!"

Zhang Zhiyuan nodded silently.

He knew his boss was telling the truth.

After all, they are only the Interpol department, and they are lucky to be able to reach this point. Without the coincidence between Joe James and reporter Judy, he would not have encountered Paradise.If the higher-ups decide to intervene, they will definitely arrange a tighter organization and dispatch more capable people to command. What they will do then will not be what they can predict.

At this moment, the inner door of the reception hall suddenly opened, and more than a dozen people in white coats rushed forward and surrounded them!
Bai Yan was also among them, but he didn't take the initiative to speak.

The first person to speak was an elderly man with gray temples. He wore thick glasses and had obvious wrinkles on his forehead, but his voice was unexpectedly clear and loud, "Did you bring the stone?"

"That's right...it's us." Zhang Zhiyuan nodded.

The other party moved closer to him, and their faces were almost pressed together, "Is there any more of this stone? Where did you get it!?"
