Just as Bai Ge was feeling worried and confused, it was also around 7 PM on the day the college entrance exams ended.
A community police station in Xiangfan City was dispatched at the last minute.
They had received a call from a resident, claiming that there was a ghost in his house and that the ghost was possessing his treasured sword.
They did not intend to send out such a nonsensical call.
But right after that, the family and some of the neighbors ran straight to the police station, and even made a big fuss about it.
They were patrol officers after all and were familiar with the neighbors. They could only follow them to take a look.
"Little Zhang, no one dares to enter my house now. Here, take a look at this picture."
That person took out a picture on his phone. The patrol officers took a look and did not find anything unusual.
"What are you showing me? Is there something wrong? "
The picture was of a living room with all kinds of furnishings. There was nothing unnatural about it. Remember the URL: m.xbequge.com.
"There's no sword! Look, there's no sword in the picture! "That person said agitatedly.
The patrol officers were speechless. So what if there was no sword? Was there a problem?
Seeing that the patrol officers did not react, that person and the neighbors said, "There's a treasured sword hanging on the wall in the living room, but it's not in the picture!"
"We can't see it even if we take a picture with our phones!"
"Mine too. Even a professional camera can't capture it!"
The three patrol officers were confused. They looked at each other and decided to take a look at the scene.
According to the neighbors, this was a haunted house.
But what era was it now? How could there be such a ridiculous haunted house? There was a treasured sword on the wall, but they could not take a picture of it. Wasn't that nonsense?
The three patrol officers walked into the house and saw the living room. They looked up and saw a well-made treasured sword hanging on the wall.
The sword was a piece of art. It cost about a few hundred yuan. It was put on display and did not have a sharp edge.
"Isn't it here?" Patrol Officer Little Zhang pointed at the sword and said.
"But I can't take a picture of it!"
The owner of the house quickly took out his phone and took a picture of it for the patrol officers.
Little Zhang took a glance and was stunned.
There was really nothing. The camera took a picture of everything on the wall, but the treasured sword was not in it.
"How could this be?"
The three patrol officers were also stunned. They looked around and saw that all the residents in the building were alarmed. Many people who heard about this came to try taking pictures.
There was no doubt that whether it was a mobile phone, a video camera, or a Polaroid.
None of them could display this treasured sword.
However, it wasn't that the camera was broken. Everything else was clearly captured, except for the sword.
"It's too strange. I really can't take it."
"Are there really ghosts? Is there something invisible covering the sword? "
"Invisible things? Stop it. Me? I'm panicking. "
"That's the treasured sword of the house … Is it because this kind of sword can't be waved around? Otherwise, it can't cover anything … "
For a time, there were different opinions, but everyone only dared to speak outside the door, not daring to enter.
The corridor was completely blocked, and the three patrol officers were sweating profusely.
They also took out their phones and tried to take a picture. Without a doubt, there was still no sign of the sword.
It was like a sword that could only be seen with the naked eye!
"I don't believe it!"
Patrol Officer Xiao Zhang is a brave person, he is not superstitious, he only thinks that this is some kind of scientific phenomenon.
He strode forward and plucked the sword from the wall!
"Everyone, look! There's nothing strange about it! Where's the ghost? "
After Xiao Zhang said that, he waved the sword twice, but did not remove the scabbard.
Everyone was relieved when they saw that nothing was wrong.
However, it was indeed strange that the camera couldn't capture it. The owner of the sword didn't dare to take it and immediately said that he would hand it over to the police.
Xiao Zhang brought the sword back to the police station and sent it directly to the City Bureau.
As the matter was too unbelievable, and it wasn't a rumor, as long as someone took a picture of it, they would know very clearly how strange the sword was.
Many policemen, including some leaders, went to try it out themselves. At first, they scoffed at it, thinking that it was impossible.
However, when they saw it, they were all horrified.
It was really strange!
Therefore, this matter was taken seriously by the police, and they were very efficient. The next morning, people from the Provincial Academy of Sciences came to take the sword away.
In comparison, this matter on the Internet was not as popular. Although there were discussions on various forums, the number of replies was actually very few.
Who asked the picture to be not suspicious at all?
Only those who had seen the sword with their own eyes would know how strange it was.
The person who posted it couldn't produce any evidence that the sword was supposed to be in the photo. As a result, many netizens mocked it as a 'sword version of the Emperor's New Clothes'.
The media that spread the news was also very depressed. They could only express the matter with words, but they couldn't provide detailed evidence.
If they couldn't see the sword with their own eyes, what could they say by showing a photo without the sword?
Everything that could reflect light, other than the human eye, couldn't detect it. That was the strange thing about this matter.
However, as long as the sword wasn't displayed, this strangeness couldn't be spread through videos and photos. It could only gradually disappear.
However, the disappearance on the Internet was exactly what the authorities wanted.
Because the strangeness of this sword was far more than that. It had some inconspicuous abnormalities that made the researchers of the Provincial Academy of Sciences feel numb all over.
"How is that possible? A microscope can't see it … A magnifying glass can't see it … Infrared imaging can't … "
"We don't even know what kind of material it is!"
A few old researchers scratched their heads as they looked at the experimental report.
At first, they thought that the sword was just undetectable. Later, they realized that they couldn't even measure its temperature.
This sword didn't absorb or dissipate heat. It didn't conduct heat at all!
It seriously violated the law of thermodynamics because there must be heat if there was a molecular structure. There was no matter in the universe that didn't have heat.
Of course, this could be attributed to the fact that it couldn't be measured, not that it didn't exist. It was still acceptable.
After all, they studied it for a whole day and couldn't measure any parameters.
"Did you test the blade? Is it the same as the scabbard? "
"Yes, they both have 'unexpected effects', and …"
"And what?"
"We just pulled the sword out and tested the sharpness of the blade."
"What's wrong with the sharpness? Little Wang, tell us! "
The researcher had a strange look on his face. He was sweating profusely, as if he couldn't say something incredible.
This made the others very anxious. They hurried to the test site to see it for themselves.
They saw that the steel plate used to test the sharpness was gone. Only a thin layer of unknown slag was left on the ground.
"Academician Tang, the test board has been decomposed …"
"What?"
Academician Tang was shocked. "Test this layer of ash, and test it again! Use titanium alloy! "
They hurriedly tested it again. When the sword cut a test alloy plate, the entire plate instantly deformed, leaving only a pile of twisted alloy on the ground.
At this moment, Little Wang wiped his sweat and said, "We have already tested it. The layer of ash is all elements of the steel plate except iron …"
"The iron element contained in the object cut by the blade of this sword will disappear. The alloy plate in the second test became like this after the iron element disappeared. "
Academician Tang and the other researchers were all stunned. The results of the experiment were too strange and unbelievable.
"All the iron elements disappeared when it was cut? This sword can absorb the iron elements of objects? How is that possible? This is too … "
While Academician Tang was shocked and confused, Little Wang spoke again.
"Academician Tang, I'm sorry, I have to correct you … I said disappear, not absorb."
"…"
The others were silent for a moment. Gradually, some people's faces began to turn pale. Academician Tang couldn't even stand still.
Little Wang hurriedly supported Academician Tang. Academician Tang said, "Don't talk nonsense … How can material disappear into thin air? If the molecular composition of this sword absorbs iron, then it can be explained … "
"I'm sorry, I don't want to believe it either, but the data of the gravity trainer tells me that … the mass of the sword did not change at all. Also, the total mass in the experiment room decreased, "Little Wang said blankly.
"Ridiculous!" Academician Tang shouted. He didn't want to believe this experimental result at all.
"Try again!"
In a laboratory, the sword with the "unexpected light and heat effect" was used again and again to cut various steel plates, alloy plates, and even animals.
Without exception, any material that was cut by the sword would lose the iron elements contained in it.
The iron elements that disappeared were not in the sword, nor in the laboratory. No one knew where they went.
This sword was also effective on animals. The mice that were cut by the sword had symptoms such as respiratory arrest, their eyes rolled up, and their tongues turned purple. After a few minutes of curling up, they died directly.
The cause of death was undoubtedly that there was not a single iron atom in the body.
The irrefutable experimental results made all the researchers present fall into silence.
They all knew what this meant.
There were only two possibilities. The missing iron elements were sent to an unknown place by an unknown effect.
Or … this sword could make matter disappear out of thin air.
The former was barely acceptable. Maybe in the future, there would gradually be conjectures to try to explain it.
But the latter was too unacceptable because it meant that this sword could reduce the total amount of matter in the universe.
Regardless of which possibility it was, the current physics of mankind could not accommodate this sword.
"Who made this sword …" Academician Tang suddenly murmured.
At this time, if someone told him that aliens did it, he would also believe it.
At least it was scientific.
However, Little Wang said, "According to the investigation of the police in Xiangfan, this sword was made by the master of [Baibing] Sword Shop. It was ordered online by a resident of Xiangfan. 360 yuan … including shipping. "
"…" Everyone looked at Little Wang and was speechless.
Little Wang said bitterly, "I bought this sword three years ago. The local bureau said that the relevant procedures were complete. The person bought this sword for collection. At first, there was no problem with the sword … Until three days ago, when the college entrance examination ended, I took my daughter home and had a video call with his wife in the living room. I found out that the camera could not see the sword. I would video call in the living room every day and the sword would be in the video. Therefore, this sword suddenly changed on the day the college entrance examination ended … "
After Academician Tang and the others heard this, they were confused.
Suddenly changed?
If a creature suddenly changed, they could speculate from many angles.
But a sword … a handicraft that cost 360 RMB including shipping, how could it mutate?!
It was impossible to study the cause of change.
"Did you report it to Beijing?"
"Yes, Academician Hu wants to talk to you."
"Okay, connect it here."
