Xiao Yu sat up and clicked to bring up and incognito browser up. She didn't really want what she was going to look up to stay on his computer browsing history. She scooted back and typed in the ip address for the database that could only accessed with a serious of logins. It didn't matter if she was accessing it on her laptop or her own, if she typed in one wrong stroke she would be locked out until she could go in and confirm her identity and that would deter their investigation a good three days. She took a deep breath and concentrated, preferring not to have a mistake. Three logins and one scan on her phone to confirm her eyes later, she was in a running a search to pull up files only she knew about. She was nervous and she felt guilty for breaking into the database in a roundabout way. she probably should have picked up the phone and called her father, he funded the database and thus that was why she knew about it and had access to it but she didn't want to set off a chain of events that could lead to real repercussions. For years her father focused researched on the Ming Dynasty particularly on the mysterious and magical meteorite. He often wrote articles under a pseudonym to promote for more advocacy. She always thought that her father was too smart for his own good and was just buying into all the hype, but now that she knew the wheel chair existed, perhaps her father and all the others like him had been right.<br/><br/><br/>The initial returns were extremely profitable and some she thought were strange. One in particular stuck out as she read the excerpts. Elixir of life is actually a baolinzhu (pearl). She was going to keep it in the back of her mind because she was more interested in the meteorite and the wheelchair. it was only the second time looking at the wheelchair did she realized that she had seen it before but never really paid attention. Her father had written an article on whether or not the ancient myths held some truths and where the great, most were legendary cultural heroes actually died from radiation poisoning since they used meteorites in the crafting of so called "legendary swords". It wasn't a direct connection to the wheelchair but on one of her father's expedition a sword was unearthed and was so light in weight that a child could lift it up with ease but the sword itself was said o be curse because anyone who touched it would become extremely sick and vomit. There were extreme respiratory complications if the exposed was not hospitalized within the hour. Three people had died on the expedition but that was nothing compared to the two hundred something villagers.<br/><br/><br/>She found herself distracted by the baolinzhu and eventually clicked on it. She blinked and rubbed her eyes. The photograph of it made her do a double take. She definitely seen it before. So that prompted her to do a images info retrieval. She was face deep in the search watching as her search fetched all the material that she wanted, but more importantly she was staring at the pearl. It couldn't be the same one she had seen with her own eyes. The one that glowed in the dark at Yi Long's place. He swore it was a cheap novelty item a modern replica. She felt the bed shift and for the moment didn't look away from the computer screen. The images information just returned and she pressed down on the tack pad mouse hard. "Holy fuck! Milo!"<br/><br/><br/>She turned and saw him and caught her cup of tea before he could spill it on her. Their hands touching and she had to look away because the kiss was still fresh in her mind. "Sorry, I didn't know you were here already. Look." She turned the laptop towards him. See that gigantic pearl in that picture?" She sipped on her tea, "That's the famous baolinzhu aka The Elixir of Life. It's rumored that the pearl grants eternal life. Now I know it''s probably irrelevant but that pearl is said to have been affected by the same meteorite that was rumored to be used to make that wheelchair that we both know it in the tombs and guess who owns the pearl?"
