Eva replayed a certain ti fra from yesterday night's recording in slow motion, and Taya saw sothing strange when she observed the things in the room, especially a moving ball toy which continuously oscillates on its own.
"The fra in that particular second...it seems like...." Taya was surprised to see that the oscillating ball toy stood still suddenly in that second. This was not sothing that should happen normally since the ball was supposed to move to and fro on its own like a pendulum.
"It froze," Eva added with a frown and continued, "But everything continues perfectly the next second. I just don't understand if this is so visual bug or…"
"No....this cannot be a bug...Strange things that are beyond our understanding are possible in this world. And if it was really a bug, then where did my samples go?" Taya mumbled in a dispirited tone as she rubbed the sides of her head, feeling a headache about the current situation.
Eva pressed her lips together, seeing that Taya was facing big troubles, especially with having her samples stolen by soone they couldn't even see in the CCTV, nor did the security system raise any alarms.
It was no less than that of a perfect cri in a perfect security facility.
"Will this cause you huge troubles?" Eva asked since she had no idea how precious the samples were inside the freezer.
Taya slowly turned her towards her and said in a grave tone, "Probably chaos and destruction throughout the world if it ends up in the wrong hands."
Eva's brows raised hearing her words, "Oh no...then we should tell Viktor about this."
Taya sighed and shook her head, "We can't...I can't even if I wanted to...unless I get the permission of a certain soone which I can't reveal to you or anyone else, including Viktor. I hope you understand. That is why if I tell him about what happened here, he would definitely need all the information to catch the culprit, and I wouldn't be able to give him that."
Eva nodded with an understanding look, even if she didn't get the full idea of what was going on. However, she could see that Taya was involved in sothing bigger than she expected.
Taya then suddenly rembered sothing and hurried towards the other side of the room where there was a small hidden safe made out of the strongest tal with extra security asures.
Eva walked towards her slowly, curiously looking on, and was surprised to see a small safe being revealed from behind the walls.
Taya didn't waste any ti and quickly opened it when suddenly a white shining object shot outwards.
Taya unconsciously stumbled back and looked at the shining white crystal shaped like a small pearl floating in the air before her.
However, Taya's expression showed huge relief seeing it, feeling that the most precious thing in the room was not gone.
"Big Sister...w-what is that…" Eva asked with a stupefied expression seeing such a beautiful and srizing crystal, making her feel like touching it out of curiosity.
Taya's brows pulled together when she saw Eva approaching it and frantically stopped her, "Don't touch it! It can kill you."
Eva imdiately froze and asked in a perplexed tone, "Kill ?"
Taya nodded with a serious expression, "Yes...this is so mystical crystal that ca from the stars. And any living being who touches it imdiately gets obliterated till not even a speck of them is left."
She then continued as her expression relaxed, "Still...I am glad that the intruder did not steal this. It could be that he didn't know, or he couldn't steal it. But I can't keep this here any longer. It's not safe anymore."
"Then where should we keep it? And...what is this crystal exactly? What can it do?" Seeing this otherworldly crystal, Eva felt that it couldn't be anything ordinary, especially after hearing how no living being can touch it.
Taya said as she slightly shook her head, "I don't know. I have been trying my best to understand it for many years but still couldn't make heads or tails about it."
"Oh…" Eva could see why since this crystal was not of this world, but then she noticed sothing and asked, "But why is it floating before you?"
Taya looked at the Star Crystal floating before her and shrugged, "I don't know...maybe because I am the one that took it? Anyway, I am not risking my life by touching it even though I was tempted quite a few many tis."
"Then where are we going to keep this now that it isn't safe here? Can we give it to Viktor?"
"No...then he will beco a target, and his identity will be exposed. I wouldn't want his life to beco a ss because of . And he would also advise to keep it sowhere safe since if he carries it on his person all the ti, it would be putting all of us in danger as well in case so people had ways to track the energy signatures of this crystal."
Eva nodded, feeling that she was right.
Taya's eyes narrowed as she continued, "But don't worry. There is one last place left where I can safely store this. But first, let's put this in a special tal box, and I would need your help to drop sowhere, though we have to make sure we aren't being followed."
Eva nodded and confidently said, "Don't worry about it, Big Sister. You can leave it to ."
anwhile, in the sa country but in a different place, there was a large underground hall where a group of cloaked individuals was standing in a circular fashion, facing each other.
But there was only one man with a silver mask sitting on a throne-like seat on an elevated platform overseeing these individuals standing around.
The man on the seat finally spoke, "Everyone...I have an important announcent to make."
