In the blink of an eye, the door closed again. However, Wang Xiao believed that he was definitely not wrong!
With a thought, Wang Xiao took out Lan Dahai’s saber from the territory. As soon as he held it in his hand, he realized that these two sabers were not almost identical. They were simply from the same mold!
However, this similarity was only limited to its appearance. The saber in the corridor outside was as black as ink, but the one in Wang Xiao’s hand was as bright as silver.
But even so, this matter was still very strange!
Putting aside the level of the items, just those gems were worth a lot, so this saber was definitely not a standard weapon.
BoxNovel.comOn the other hand, high-level items were usually custom-made by a prop master. Unless it was a commemorative item, it was rare for two items to look so similar.
After all, everyone’s height, physique, and strength were different. Naturally, customizing items was mainly to adapt to one’s body.
However, if it was a memorable item, it would be strange for Lan Dahai to take it out and use it. Wasn’t he afraid that the item would be damaged?
As he thought to himself, Wang Xiao subconsciously rubbed the shiny silver blade and unintentionally discovered another strange part.
One side of the blade was very flat, but the other side had a slight arc. It could not be that the prop master was not skilled enough. The arc on the other side was very well-proportioned. It was obvious that it was done on purpose.
In his confusion, Wang Xiao took out another [Identification Scroll] from his territory, wanting to see what was wrong with this saber. However, he did not expect that after tearing open the [Identification Scroll], the surroundings were actually silent and did not react at all.
“The scroll has lost its effect?”
Wang Xiao muttered and took out another one, but there was still no reaction.
The possibility of two random [Identification Scrolls] failing at the same time was even lower than if a mutated beast appeared and swallowed Wang Xiao. The only explanation was that this item was severely damaged, or rather, it was incomplete.
After thinking and sighing, Wang Xiao could only continue to observe with his naked eye. He discovered that the beast-shaped decoration on the hilt guard was a little strange. The four beast claws were on both sides, and they were active, as if they were holding something.
“Could it be to prevent it from leaving his hand?”
Wang Xiao pursed his lips and muttered softly. Then, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind!
If the appearance of this saber was exactly the same as the one on the outside, did it mean that the hand guard outside also had such a mechanism?
Coupled with the shape of a flat and curved blade, could they be two parts of a tool?
As soon as this thought appeared, Wang Xiao felt an itch in his heart. He simply wished he could go out and take a closer look!
However, when he thought of how Qi Lianjun had specially instructed him not to run around before leaving, Wang Xiao could not help but hesitate.
After all, this was the military building. It was not an exaggeration to say that he would be clueless if he accidentally barged in. However, Qi Lianjun had already reminded him several times not to run around. If he ran out again and was discovered, he might be severely punished.
Although Wang Xiao thought that he had a good relationship with Chen Jinrong, he could not guarantee that the other party would not show mercy when faced with such a question of principle.
However, just as Wang Xiao was about to give up, he accidentally saw the [Sound Realm Box] on the table and immediately recalled the loss of 3 billion star coins.
“You cheated me of 3 billion star coins and want to send me away with two lousy boxes. Isn’t that a little too cheap?”
Wang Xiao pursed his lips and muttered. The rebellion in his heart instantly surged.
Besides, he was not running around. He was only going to the door to take a look at the knife. Could it be that taking a look would cause any trouble?
Thinking of this, Wang Xiao instantly threw his previous worries to the back of his mind. He did not care about any instructions or rules now. His only thought was to verify his guess before Qi Lianjun returned.
If he hesitated, he would be defeated. This was a principle Wang Xiao had just learned this morning.
Wang Xiao twisted the lock and gently pulled open the door. He first stuck his head out to take a look.
The outside was indeed as he had guessed. It was a spacious and long corridor. The walls on both sides were completely piled up by display cabinets with all kinds of exotic items. Even the wall outside his room was no exception.
Although many of the display cabinets were empty, Wang Xiao could see that there were at least a few thousand exotic items stored here.
However, Wang Xiao was not interested in them at all now. After confirming that there was no one outside, he immediately ran to the display cabinet where the black saber was stored.
With just a glance, Wang Xiao confirmed that the appearance of this black saber was completely identical to the white saber. Then, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the position of the black saber’s gauntlet. Indeed, he had also found four beast claws. However, he could not confirm if they could move through the display cabinet.
However, even so, Wang Xiao was basically certain of his guess. This was because other than the shape of the four beast claws, the blade of this black saber was the same as the white saber. It was flat on one side and curved on the other.
“This item is a tool!”
Wang Xiao was delighted. At the same time, he discovered another surprise.
Perhaps it was because it was easy to retrieve, or perhaps the military was very confident in the security of this area, in short, there was only a simple clasp on the door of the display cabinet. It could be opened with a gentle push…
He looked at the simple buckle. After leaving the room, Wang Xiao had another bold thought. “Why don’t… I take it out and take a look?”
“I’m just taking it out to take a look. I definitely won’t take it for myself. The best way to determine if it can form a tool is to give it a try. This is an experiment, not getting into trouble…”
As Wang Xiao made an excuse for himself in his heart, he slowly extended his finger to the simple clasp. However, just as he was about to push it away, footsteps suddenly sounded in the silent corridor!
“Adjutant Qi is back!”
The guilty Wang Xiao’s pupils constricted. Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, he almost instantly jumped back into the room!
After gently closing the door, Wang Xiao’s heart began to beat faster. Before he could catch his breath, Qi Lianjun pushed the door open and walked in.
Seeing Wang Xiao’s pale face and cold sweat, Qi Lianjun could not help but frown. “What’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?”
“Ah? Oh, right!”
Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment before reacting. He held his stomach and nodded repeatedly. “It’s nothing. I’m just a little hungry. I haven’t eaten anything since last night.”
“People need food to survive. How can you not eat?”
Qi Lianjun did not suspect anything after lecturing him. He raised his hand and took out another [Sound Realm Box] from his territory. He also took out a new registration form and said, “Quickly sign it. I’ll bring you to eat.”
“Ok! ”
As Wang Xiao spoke, he took the registration form and signed his name. After putting the two [Sound Realm Box] into his territory, he skillfully put on the blindfold and earplugs and left with Qi Lianjun.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the canteen. Qi Lianjun still had something to do and left first after getting some food for Wang Xiao.
At this moment, Wang Xiao finally heaved a sigh of relief.. He picked up his chopsticks and ate mechanically, but his mind was still thinking about the black saber…
