Faur left that night. She didn't stay the night.
After Faur left, Chen Zhao and Fali felt much more at ease.
They felt like they were meeting their parents. Faur kept asking them questions, which made them feel uncomfortable.
Fali walked around the living room in her bra while Chen Zhao sat on the sofa in his boxers.
Chen Zhao flipped through the appraisal book. To be honest, most of the contents had a hypnotic effect.
Chen Zhao would rather read a medical book than this treasure appraisal book.
But Chen Zhao's hand paused. He looked at the introduction on the page.
There was a color photo on the page: The Lost Star of Doom. It was a huge black diamond.
There was also a note beside the photo that said it was a computer composite and not the real Lost Star of Doom.
The page on the right introduced the Lost Star of Doom.
The Star of Doom had been discovered in Africa in 1820. It weighed 380 carats.
The expedition team that discovered the black diamond slaughtered the tribe that owned it. 163 natives died.
Then the blood-stained black diamond was brought back to England. It was polished by the most skilled craftsman in England and made into a pendant.
But after the craftsman finished working on the black diamond, he lost both his hands in an accident.
The pendant was obtained by a noble, but a huge fire soon destroyed the noble and his manor.
Then the pendant landed in the hands of a prostitute, but she died in the hands of a customer.
After that, the pendant with the black diamond kept changing hands, but none of its owners had a good ending.
The name of the Star of Doom began to spread. In the end, no one dared to collect it anymore.
In the end, the Star of Doom was sent to the British Royal Museum as an exhibit.
But a fire broke out in the museum and the Star of Doom disappeared from people's sight again.
In 1882, an American businessman bought the Star of Misfortune from a scoundrel for $800 and planned to bring it to the United States.
The businessman had been on a two-masted sailboat, the Mary San Frisco. Its destination was New York.
But the Mary San Frisco did not reach New York. Instead, it disappeared in the Pacific Ocean.
In 1883, a passing ship encountered the Mary San Frisco in the depths of the ocean, and the crew even boarded the Mary San Frisco to investigate.
However, the Mary San Frisco was empty. The entire ship's cargo was intact, and there were no signs of a fight.
After checking, they found that there was enough food and water on the ship. Even though the ship had been missing for more than a year, many of the ingredients were still edible.
But the crew and passengers were all gone, not even a skeleton.
That was also the last time the Mary San Frisco appeared in the public eye. Since then, no one had seen the ship again.
Some people claimed to have seen the ship, but there was no evidence to support this claim, so it was left unsettled.
Even in recent times there have been claims of sightings of the Mary San Frisco.
There were also some old and blurry photos as evidence of the remarks.
The Star of Misfortune also disappeared with the Mary San Frisco.
Chen Zhao picked up the tablet and entered Mary San Frisco in the search bar.
Soon, many pictures popped up. Most of them were pictures of old two-masted sailboats.
However, one picture attracted his attention. It should be a black and white picture taken in the 1960s.
Judging from the distance, it should be more than a kilometer.
The two-masted sailboat in the picture was very old, as if it had just been fished out of the sea. There were many seaweed hanging on it, and the entire hull was rotten and broken.
"What are you looking at?" Fali moved closer to Chen Zhao and poked her head over.
When she saw the image on the tablet, Chen Zhao clearly felt her arms tremble.
"Is this it?"
Fali nodded heavily. "Yes, it's this ship! You found it? "
"Walter once found a wooden board with the letters Mary written on it. Do you know about the Star of Misfortune?"
"Star of Misfortune? What's that? "
"It's this." Chen Zhao handed the appraisal book to Fali.
"This …" Fali's brows furrowed.
"You've really seen it before?"
"I once went to a flea market and bought a pendant with a black gem like this, but I only spent a hundred dollars. The owner and I both thought it was a fake."
"Is it at home now?"
"Wait, I'll go get it."
Fali jogged back to her room. A moment later, she took out a pendant with a black diamond on it. It was the Lost Star of Misfortune.
Chen Zhao gasped. Just then, Black-Ma suddenly roared at the pendant in Fali's hand.
"Black-Ma, what's wrong?"
"Demon badge. It's a demon badge." Beelzebub also stood up and stared at the Lost Star of Misfortune.
"Master, this demon badge has a powerful curse."
Chen Zhao thought for a moment and turned to Fali. "Fali, I'm afraid you can't have this Lost Star of Misfortune anymore. It will hurt you."
"Is everything in this book true?"
"There's evil power on it."
"What should I do with it? Throw it away? "
"Give it to me. I can eat it," Beelzebub said immediately.
"Give it to me," Black-Ma said. "I'll wear it. Its power is similar to mine. I can use it." It was obvious that he really wanted the Star of Misfortune.
"Is there a way to get rid of the power on it and keep the Star of Misfortune?" Chen Zhao asked.
Beelzebub and Black-Ma shook their heads at the same time. "No."
Chen Zhao looked at Fali. "Fali, you have two choices now. Wear it for Black-Ma or eat it for Beelzebub."
"Eat it for Beelzebub? Are you sure? "
"He likes to eat weird things like that." Chen Zhao shrugged.
Just then, Chen Zhao's phone rang. It was Sienna.
"Chen, I've discovered the ghost ship's identity. Yesterday, someone on a yacht near the Angel Coast recorded a video and uploaded it online. It's the Mary San Frisco. My teacher and a dozen witches died on this ghost ship. I advise you to give up on that idea. This ghost ship is very scary."
"I'm afraid I have to deal with it," Chen Zhao said. "It's coming for Fali."
"Why?"
"Fali bought something incredible. She used a hundred dollars to buy a 380-carat black diamond that she thought was a fake, but it was actually a real one. This black diamond was the cause of everything."
