But however he thought about it, it made no sense. It was already absurd for the Tulip Squad to steal a massive fossil still encased in surrounding rock. Surely they hadn't brought it along to rescue someone, dropped it on Shen Qi afterward, then carried it away with Magnet Rise or Telekinesis.
Were they insane...? They would have to have nothing better to do to pull something like that. They barely had time to escape.
