Chapter 134: The Ancient Sword (4)
The museum was frantic because of the ancient sword missing incident. According to the general ghost’s temperament, he would never want to cause trouble to them.
Chen Shu found someone who was familiar with him, let him pay attention to the news of the ancient sword, and immediately report to him as soon as there was news.
After hearing the news that the ancient sword had returned, Chen Shu and Ye Sui quickly drove to the museum.
It was still early and there was still some time before the door opened at nine o’ clock. Ye Sui and the others could take a look at the general ghost one last time.
Chen Shu asked his acquaintances and asked Xia Zhou curator of Xia Zhou Dynasty Museum to let them in before the museum opened.
When the curator saw Ye Sui and Chen Shu, he was stunned. He didn’t expect that the people he was receiving as a guest turned out to be Hua Rui’s President Chen and Ye Sui.
Ye Sui nodded towards the curator. “Hello.”
When the curator heard Ye Sui’s voice, he suddenly came back to his senses. He didn’t ask much. He thought it might be that the couple were very interested in this ancient sword.
Fortunately, this ancient sword came back again, otherwise he wouldn’t even think about his position as a curator.
Ye Sui walked behind the curator, and asked, “When did this ancient sword reappear?”
Although the disappearance of the ancient sword was concealed by the museum, the curator knew that Ye Sui and the others knew the inside story.
The curator smiled at Ye Sui and the others. “The ancient sword wasn’t in the museum last night, but it appeared in the early hours this morning. It may be the conscience of the person who stole it and returned it.”
The curator didn’t want to settle this matter based on a supernatural event, so he found a reasonable and convincing reason for the loss of the ancient sword.
Ye Sui and Chen Shu looked at each other, and they could see the smile in each other’s eyes.
Chen Shu and others came to the center of the exhibition hall. The ancient sword was quietly placed in the showcase glass, as if it had never left here.
At this time, the curator’s cell phone suddenly rang, and he looked at Ye Sui. “I have something to deal with. I will be back soon.”
The moment the curator left, it gave Ye Sui and Chen Shu the time to see the general ghost for the last time.
As soon as the curator left, the dark figure floated from the sword and turned into a human form, standing in front of Chen Shu and Ye Sui.
Ye Sui could see that the evil spirit and resentment on the general ghost had disappeared. His face was calm, as if those past and distant memories had settled down and no longer tangled and immersed in the past.
The general ghost couldn’t speak, so he gestured.
Ye Sui was stunned for a few seconds, then guessed. “Are you leaving now?”
The general ghost nodded. He first bent his head towards Ye Sui and Chen Shu, then turned around, his gaze falling on the ancient sword.
This ancient sword was given to him by the Crown Prince. After that, the sword accompanied him on the battlefield, almost accompanying him throughout his entire life. Also, it accompanied him through hundreds of boring years.
Now, he was about to leave with a faint reluctance in his eyes.
The general ghost stretched out his hand and placed it on the ancient sword. It was as precious as his own child and gently brushed the sword, as if he was making a final farewell.
At this time, the curator finished the phone call and walked back to the exhibition hall after explaining the good things.
The curator looked at his watch, then reminded Ye Sui and the others. “It’s almost nine o’ clock. The museum will open soon.”
As soon as the voice fell, Ye Sui found that the general ghost’s figure had completely disappeared, while the sword remained in the place.
The moment the general ghost left, the original bright and clean ancient sword began to change. It decayed at an unstoppable speed.
The surface of the sword was covered with rusty stains, and the whole sword was no longer sharp and bright. The sword in front of me really seemed to have gone through a hundred years, revealing the vicissitudes of history.
The person who really loved this sword, the person who used it was gone, so there was no need for it to exist, as if the soul of this sword also disappeared with the general ghost.
Ye Sui stared at this scene in a daze, and looked up at Chen Shu with a complex tone.“Chen Shu.”
Chen Shu also witnessed this and shook Ye Sui’s hand comfortingly.
“This… this… this…” The curator didn’t expect to see this picture when he came back, and he couldn’t use words to describe his mood at this moment.
This good sword instantly decayed in front of him. No one touched it. No external force caused damage to the sword, and it suddenly changed.
The curator was out of breath. He tremblingly took out his cell phone. “I have to report this incident.”
The curator was dazed and clutched his head in despair. Hewent to call again. Ye Sui and Chen Shu didn’t stay longer and left the museum.
It was less than half an hour before the opening of the museum, and the curator received instructions that the ancient sword was still on display on time, just as it was at the moment.
This ancient sword was unearthed, and it had attracted much attention because of its immortality for hundreds of years. The sudden absence of the ancient sword some time ago and the overnight decay might cause too much discussion in the outside world.
Although the ancient sword was re-exhibited, what the public saw was only a rusty sword, and they couldn’t see its original appearance.
Some people reported to the news that the reason why this sword was not exhibited was because the sword disappeared without being touched, and no relevant evidence was left.
After that, it appeared bizarre again. It had suddenly decayed.
People were always interested in these topics that had a little bit of spirituality, and there was a lot of discussion outside, which added a bit of mystery to this sword.
Even though the outside world had been investigating the reason, nobody got a glimpse of the real reason behind it.
