Buzzzzz.
In the basent of the Black Rose Bar, Lin Xian could clearly hear a low electric hum, seemingly all because of this eerie bullet head brought out by Hu Lushou.
"A forbidden relic? How do you know?"
Suspicion arose in Lin Xian’s mind. If the thing before him was indeed so sort of forbidden relic, it would be the second one Lin Xian had encountered in a short ti.
Hu Lushou’s face was sowhat peculiar. He quickly closed that special storage box and only spoke after the surrounding space had sowhat cald.
"Actually, I didn’t know at first. It was after getting lost in the Star Abyss Polar Night when soone from one of the convoys traded this with for supplies. I imdiately sensed it must have so history. Although I’ve never seen a real forbidden relic, this thing feels sinister the mont it’s out, and any light around it dims significantly. I thought, could it be the legendary forbidden relic?"
"But the rumors about forbidden relics are either weird or deadly. Who would dare touch it? But that guy said it would be fine as long as it’s kept in this lead box, so..."
"So you think it might be so kind of treasure that could be exchanged for benefits with the Federation or other forces, right?" Lin Xian imdiately saw through Hu Lushou’s thoughts. He didn’t have the courage for raiding but was bold enough to use the guise of raiding to make money.
Hu Lushou was well-inford, so he naturally knew that whether it was Disaster Plant or forbidden artifacts, they held high research value for the authorities or various organizations. Ordinary people avoided them, but Hu Lushou was no ordinary person. Even if he didn’t understand their usage, soone did.
"Hehehe..."
Hu Lushou, whose thoughts had been guessed, didn’t even blush: "That’s the idea, just that..."
His face fell again: "I didn’t expect, even with the box, that the power of dark invasion was so strong. I fear that before I find soone knowledgeable about it, I might perish first. So I was thinking, Captain Lin has great influence here, with many capable people, maybe you could take it to research?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xian internally sneered. This excuse was a bunch of nonsense. This guy first knew about the Emperor Plan and even the clandestine activities of the mysterious Holy Revelation organization. How could he not find soone who recognized the item? He probably sensed that he’d been targeted by soone and wanted to avoid trouble, trying to pass this hot potato to Lin Xian while also wanting to earn Lin Xian’s gratitude for saving him—how audacious!
These forbidden artifacts are far more troubleso than Disaster Plants. Lin Xian knew nothing about their properties, dangers, or ans of containnt. Brother Huo’s golden bracelet was already under his scrutiny, and he couldn’t relax about it. Who knows what state that bracelet is in now? Moreover, as soon as this thing was opened, the unpleasant dark invasion practically filled the room, clearly not a benevolent item.
Therefore, for a while, Lin Xian was also hesitant.
"Open it again and let see."
Thinking of this, Lin Xian asked Hu Lushou to open the box. He intended to probe with his chanical superpower.
Hu Lushou nodded in agreent, promptly reopening the lower box. Instantly, Lin Xian felt the surrounding space dim considerably, with that dizzying radiation and the chill of dark invasion striking again. Lin Xian gritted his teeth and imdiately activated the chanical Heart to probe that silver bullet.
[Scan failed, non-chanical energy detected.]
Lin Xian furrowed his brow; indeed, it was a forbidden artifact...
Thus, Lin Xian prepared to use the devouring skill.
But this ti, unlike before, as soon as his devouring started, the silver and black bullet began to tremble violently, with red-black arcs rising from it like a solar corona. A strong air pressure caused the debris in the basent to fly towards the bullet, like a black hole.
anwhile, on the light screen of Lin Xian’s chanical Heart, a terrifying prompt appeared!
[Devour failed, chanical Heart cannot respond to content!]
Startled, Lin Xian imdiately halted the operation of the chanical Heart.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Papery scraps and dust flew in all directions. Hu Lushou, stunned, looked at the scene, urgently calling out to Lin Xian: "Captain Lin... sothing’s off!"
Lin Xian looked at the continuously volatile silver and black bullet and imdiately closed the box. In an instant, that arc vanished, and the basent returned to tranquility.
Lin Xian sighed deeply, secretly alard. Whatever this thing was, it was currently in an unknown dangerous state, even the chanical Heart couldn’t devour it.
Three tis encountering a forbidden artifact, and the chanical Heart reacted differently each ti, making Lin Xian increasingly curious about this thing.
"How much do you know about forbidden relics?" Lin Xian asked, looking at Hu Lushou.
Hu Lushou imdiately shook his head: "Just so bits and pieces. Only Phoenix Society, the Federation, and organizations like Holy Revelation specialize in researching it. It’s still very mysterious to us now."
"Okay."
Lin Xian thought for a mont and decided to take the box. Even if he didn’t, Hu Lushou would get the sa result if he followed them. If he was indeed targeted by so Descent Faction organization, it didn’t matter; Lin Xian’s vehicle carried more than one forbidden relic. Because of the Hell Black Chrysanthemum incident, he dared to confront Federation people head-on. Being targeted by so Descent Faction wouldn’t matter either. It’s not like he would, to avoid trouble, pack up the Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube and Brother Huo’s bracelet and send them away, like Hu Lushou.
