  Crystal Storm XII

  Attar and the other children were so anxious that they couldn’t wait any longer to see what had happened. They looked out toward the sea through the telescope - what they saw left them utterly stunned, their mouths wide open.

  “What can we do?” The question haunted each one of them as they hurried back to the wooden house.

  “I thought we would be safe. It looks like the crystal flower is powerful. I think whoever stole it is operating the robot to take revenge on us.” The scientist had been deep in meditation before sharing his thoughts.

  “Motive!”

  The children opened their eyes wide and pricked up their ears, waiting for the scientist’s explanation.

  “My brother, 10 years my junior,” the scientist cleared his throat and continued, “I haven’t seen him for some years now, though.”

  “A brother? You never mentioned that you had a brother,” said Sportsman scratching his head.

  The scientist shook his head slightly. Everyone could sense his sadness.

  The situation made all the children feel uneasy. Looking at the poor scientist, they could do nothing but maintain the silence as they waited for him to continue. After a while, the scientist opened his mouth again, “Both of us specialized in scientific research and both of us were very successful. But then the trouble began.”

  “What kind of trouble? Weren’t you successful?” Troublemaker was eager to know more.

  “You’re too young to understand the world.” The scientist sighed deeply and said, “After our paper was published, many people insisted I do things that I didn’t want to do. So I told the media that my research still needed further improvements. That’s when I came here to live with my brother.”

  “So why are you alone now?” Cheerleading Captain was eager to know the whereabouts of the scientist’s brother.

  “It’s all because of this!” The scientist pointed at the crystal petal in the picture, “We discovered the crystal flower and were attracted by its powers. From then on my brother changed. He looked at the flower everyday with dark thoughts swirling through his mind. He seemed completely in a trance.”

  安塔和所有的人都拿过望远镜看了看,呆住了。

  “怎么办?”大家跑回屋里,心里都在想同一个问题。

  “本来我以为没事了,谁知,唉,看来是水晶花瓣发挥作用了,如果我猜得不错,这是一个人的阴谋。他偷走了水晶花瓣,遥控机器人向我报复!”科学家过了一会儿说。

  “阴谋?”

  孩子们和安塔都睁大眼睛看着科学家,等他说下去。

  “这要从几年前说起了,我曾经有一个比我小十岁的师弟。”科学家说。

  “师弟?怎么从未听您说起过?”运动员问。

  科学家摇摇头,神色黯然。

  大家看到科学家伤心的样子,都默默无语。

  过了一会科学家继续说道:“我们一起致力于科研,终于在生命科学领域取得了巨大的成功,可没想到,从此麻烦就来了。”

  “什么麻烦?成功还会有麻烦?”捣蛋鬼问道。

  “你年纪小,还不了解人类。”科学家又叹了口气说,“我们的论文发表后,马上就有很多人上门来请我帮助他们做我不愿意做的事情。于是我想了个办法,向媒体宣布我的研究还有待进一步完善,然后和师弟一起来到了这里隐居。”科学家说。

  “那现在为什么只有您一个人呢?”拉拉队长问。

  “这一切都是因为它!”科学家指指画中的水晶花瓣说:“我们无意中发现了它,并且被它蕴含的巨大能量震惊了,也就从那时起,师弟他变了,每天都瞧着花瓣出神,眼中的神情变幻莫测。”
