Chapter 281 — The Secret in the Shark's Belly: "Ugh!" Gu Mengyao Gave Shen Yushu a Strange Look: "If You Like Arrow Brother, Just Admit It, Why Do You Always Drag Me Into It?"

Wei Zhao took out the controller and examined it carefully. It was no high-tech product. With present technology, making such a thing would be no difficult task.
The key question was, what was this shark used for? But since the matter had nothing to do with him, Wei Zhao did not think much about it. He was about to toss the controller aside when he suddenly found a small door that could be opened at the bottom of the controller!
Wei Zhao pulled at it, but the small door was locked. There was a keyhole on it, probably just an ordinary lock. Wei Zhao casually found a toothpick in the kitchen, picked at it a few times, and the small door opened.
A small box sealed in plastic wrap fell out, and Wei Zhao picked it up casually.
The small box was not exquisite, but it was sealed very tightly, rather like the popular Lock and Lock boxes nowadays, only made of metal.
Wei Zhao tore off the plastic wrap and waited a little while. The jade pendant on his body gave no warning at all, and only then did he force the metal box open.
He would naturally be careful, for no one knew what might be inside the box. What if it was a bomb? If it blew him straight to death the moment he opened it, that would be too tragic.
"Eh?" Wei Zhao took out what was inside the box and was slightly taken aback.
Inside was a piece of sheepskin. To be precise, a map made of sheepskin, but not a complete map, only a fragment. As for what fraction it was, Wei Zhao could not yet tell.
And the writing on the map was in a script Wei Zhao had never seen before. He knew something of the writing of most countries in the world, and even when he did not know a script, he could generally tell which language it belonged to when he saw it.
But the writing on this map belonged to no language in the world. Of course, he could not rule out some small country or small tribe he did not know, or some lost ancient civilization.
Of course, what Wei Zhao leaned toward most was that this was a secret code, a cipher! Only someone who knew the rules of decryption could read its meaning.
And by now Wei Zhao roughly understood that this shark had been used as a courier for intelligence, or rather for this drawing! Some accident must have happened along the way. The shark lost control and never finished its mission, so both the controller and this map remained in its belly.
In the vast sea, finding such a shark again would probably be very hard. It was only by coincidence that Wei Zhao had run into it.
What the map was for, Wei Zhao did not know for now. He could only slip it into his pocket to study when he had time. As for the control device, it had no research value and was tossed by Wei Zhao into a corner of the kitchen.
