I'm the director of Interstellar Sanatorium

Chapter 165 Tracking
Xiao Di and Zhi Ge came to the gate of the manor very quickly, and saw a person hiding behind the artificial bushes beside the gate furtively from a distance.

Xiao Di removed the barriers on the two of them, and walked quickly to Huo Qiangyin with Zhi Ge.

"Hey, it's finally here!" Huo Qiangyin turned his head to see the two, with an excited expression on his face, and then pulled the two behind him anxiously to hide them.

"Just now Bruce asked someone to open the defensive barrier around the manor. If we want to go out now, we have to blow up the barrier first." Huo Qiangyin scratched her head anxiously.

Xiao Di raised his head and glanced at the looming barrier above his head, feeling that things were a bit tricky.

"It's easy to go out, but the game hasn't ended yet, it's not wise to offend Bruce at this time." Zhi Ge said.

Xiao Di nodded, and his eyes fell on the messy main house not far away.

"Go back first." Xiao Di said.

Huo Qiangyin became a little anxious, "That ruby ​​is not on your body, let's go back now, it's easy to be found by Bruce, he has a machine that can detect gems!"

"It's okay." Xiao Di said with confidence.

Her storage bracelet is not a product of the interstellar age, so the machines of the interstellar age cannot penetrate the mustard seed in her bracelet.

Before she had time to explain to the two of them, she took the cloak from Zhige's hand and draped it over her shoulders, parted ways with Huo Qiangyin, and returned to the main house again.

"Please cooperate with the search!" The butler was comforting the guests who were in a mess at this time, "Our grand duke's ruby ​​has been stolen, and the thief is likely to be among everyone. In order to remove everyone's suspicion, we can only do this!"

Xiao Di and Zhi Ge quietly hid among the chaotic guests. Across the crowd, they could see a smart body scanner standing beside the old butler, and a bionic robot was controlling the machine with no expression on its face.

"Why do you need to search! We are here to participate in the banquet, not to be humiliated!"

"That's right, if you check who stole it, you can only monitor the system and you will understand everything. Why do you use this method to find things!"

……

The old butler frowned from the noise, so he could only raise his hand and take out a particle wooden bin from his arms, and opened a wooden bin facing the void.

A loud bang came from the hall, instantly shocking the chattering guests.

"Can we start queuing up now?" The old butler politely handed the wooden bin in his hand to the bionic man standing on the other side of him.

All the weapons on the guests' bodies were confiscated long before they entered the main house, so at this time they could only stand in a long line in front of the scanner without saying anything.

Xiao Di and Zhi Ge also quietly stood in the team.

At this time, Bruce was standing behind the railing in a hidden corner on the second floor, looking down at the guests who passed the scanner one by one with a dark face.

The guests walked past under the scanner with livid faces. Seeing that the scanner hadn't sounded, the guests who passed the test immediately gathered together and cursed in a low voice.

However, the old housekeeper pretended not to hear, and still stared at the guests closely, for fear of missing the slightest detail.

Not long after, Xiao Di was at the front of the line.

Huo Qiangyin was standing among the waiters not far away at this time, seeing Xiao Di about to walk past the scanner, he felt his nervous vest was wet with sweat.

Xiao Di, on the other hand, looked relaxed, lifted the hem of her skirt, and walked past the scanner with her booted feet.

"Beep beep!"

The siren sounded instantly and broke the silence in the hall of the main house.

Seeing this, the old butler immediately jumped up like a cat seeing a mouse, pointed at Xiao Di and said to the bionic bodyguards behind him: "Wrap her up!"

When Grand Duke Bruce upstairs saw Xiao Di being surrounded, his eyes also sank.

Xiao Di, who was surrounded by people, immediately calmed down after being surprised for a moment, and even raised his eyelids to look at Bruce in the upper corner.

Bruce's memory was affected by puppet silk, and at this moment he could only remember that he and Xiaodi had danced just now, but he didn't remember a single word of their conversation.

He didn't go downstairs, but stood upstairs quietly watching what happened below.

"Hand over the gems!" the old housekeeper pointed at Xiao Di.

"I can't hand it over." Xiao Di was very calm, and even cast a consoling glance at Huo Qiangyin behind the crowd.

She didn't know what was wrong with the scanner. Anyway, such a low-end scanner would never detect the ruby ​​in the Mustard Sumeru Realm.

Zhi Ge pushed aside the bionic man and was about to walk into the encirclement. Seeing this, the bionic man immediately stretched out his hand to stop him.

But before they touched Zhi Ge's clothes, his arm was burned by the scorching heat from his body and the contact was bad.

Zhi Ge didn't take a second look at the two bionics with scrapped arms, walked up to Xiao Di and grabbed her hand.

"The gem is definitely on your body, the scanner will not make mistakes!" Seeing that Zhige dared to attack the bionic man, the old housekeeper immediately took the particle wooden warehouse from the bionic man beside him and pointed it at Zhige.

But Zhi Ge and Xiao Di didn't panic at all.

Zhi Ge raised Xiao Di's hand wearing the gemstone ring to everyone's eyes and shook it, "Your scanner did not make a mistake, but what it recognized should be our own gemstone."

Xiao Di almost forgot about the sapphire in his hand.

She originally thought that Zhi Ge had bought it in a jewelry store by the way, but she didn't expect that it would be an expensive gemstone recognized by the scanner.

The expression on the old butler's face froze, and he subconsciously turned his head to glance at the Grand Duke above.

Bruce also came down from above at this time.

Across a bionic man, he aimed the gem appraiser at the ring on Xiao Di's hand, and nodded to the old housekeeper after a while.

"The gems on this lady's ring are indeed more precious than rubies." Grand Duke Bruce smiled at Xiao Di very apologetically, "Please take off the ring and go through the scanner again."

Xiao Di was kind, took off the ring and put it in Zhi Ge's palm, and walked under the scanner again.

At the same time, everyone in the hall held their breath and stared at Xiao Di who was passing under the scanner.

Fortunately, this time, the scanner didn't ring again.

Huo Qiangyin heaved a sigh of relief, but the other people around him were inexplicably nervous, and some of them began to take off the gemstone ornaments on their bodies.

Xiao Di turned to look at Bruce, "Is my suspicion cleared?"

Grand Duke Bruce had a strange expression on his face, and after a while he smiled and said, "Of course."

Seeing that Xiao Di had been cleared of his suspicions, Zhi Ge also walked away from the scanner.

There was no movement from the scanner, Zhi Ge and Xiao Di successfully stood in the ranks of innocent people.

The inspection is still going on, and it has been a cosmic time to check all the guests in the entire hall.

"Grand Duke, no gemstones have been detected on their bodies." A fine layer of sweat had already appeared on the old butler's head.

Bruce calmed down at this moment, he turned his head and glanced coldly at the guests, and said to the old housekeeper, "Let them go."

The old butler thought that Bruce really didn't doubt this group of people anymore, and just as he was about to dissuade them a few more words, Bruce gave him a faint glance.

"Yes, yes." The old butler immediately understood the hint in Bruce's eyes, and directly asked someone to close the defensive barrier.

Once the defensive barrier was closed, the guests were not in the mood to stay in the manor anymore, and they all left in twos and threes.

Many contestants failed to touch the edge of the ruby, and while feeling resentful, they were also anxious to go out to pick up the task again.

Xiao Di, Zhi Ge and Huo Qiangyin met outside the manor, and boarded the flying ship with rubies.

The flying ship quickly moved away from Bruce's manor, and Zhi Ge frowned not long after he walked out.

"We're being followed."
