The temporary storage hall for auction items suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
The middle-aged man looked at Lin Baici, his gaze filled with shock and mixed with panic.
The seven most precious items ant for the finale weren’t here, but the rest weren’t cheap either.
The Dawn Foundation held the auction so grandly not only to make a big profit but also to maintain its influence. If the auction items were rubbish, it would be embarrassing.
Because the auction items were very valuable, various protective asures were maximized.
Besides a large number of security personnel guarding, there were these tal boxes.
To open them, it required the vice president, secretary-general, and the head of security to be present and to input their known passwords in the correct sequence.
But Lin Baici just went ahead with so operations, seemingly pressing randomly, and yet it worked!
If this wasn’t an inside job leaking the password,
who would believe it?
And the insider’s level must be quite high!
San Miyairi raised an eyebrow, looking at Lin Baici in surprise, gaining a new understanding of his capabilities.
If he wanted to, couldn’t he steal all the taboo things here?
Ti was limited, and Lin Baici couldn’t wait for the middle-aged man to act. He activated his steel body without waiting for the white steam to dissipate, then fished out a basketball-sized tal ball from the tal box.
This thing was the Black Coffin.
The tal ball, which should have been sealed, now had so cracks, with rust-colored liquid seeping out.
"Damn!"
"The Black Coffin is damaged!"
"Pollution leak, hurry and get a new Black Coffin!"
The security personnel imdiately shouted, and those responsible for keeping the Black Coffin safe imdiately went to get a spare.
The middle-aged man saw the state of the tal ball, turned numb, and instantly broke into a cold sweat.
The Black Coffin in this state could lose its containnt ability at any ti, and by then, the taboo things might directly emit radiation, with the pollution range definitely not being small, affecting at least several blocks.
Due to the powerful nature of these auction items, an eruption would naturally result in high pollution intensity.
Of course, many powerful figures were present today, and they could certainly purify the pollution and contain the taboo things in the shortest ti.
But the issue was that, even if containnt happened quickly, the Dawn Foundation would have made a blunder, resulting in significant image damage.
Just like the nuclear leakage incident in the Cherry Blossom Country.
"Hurry, get the Black Coffin!"
The middle-aged man roared, unable to think further about the consequences, because if this happened, regardless of what others might say, he, as the security team leader on duty, would definitely be in big trouble.
"Too late!"
Lin Baici dug out the Antler Bone Flute from his pocket, and blew it vigorously twice after placing it in his mouth.
Toot! Toot!
A white halo flashed, and a Reindeer Sleigh appeared.
Lin Baici imdiately rushed to the pack borne by the reindeer, found a Black Coffin inside, returned, and placed it next to the damaged tal ball.
After pressing the button, the Black Coffin imdiately opened, extending strips of tal like octopus tentacles, completely wrapping the tal ball.

The countdown for the Eater God suddenly stopped.
The crisis must have been resolved.
Lin Baici glanced at the middle-aged man.
"Brother!"
The middle-aged man imdiately forced a smile: "No need to say anything, it’s all thanks to you this ti. I’m An Xiaohui, and I’ll give my all if you ever need anything in the future!"
Though the middle-aged man called himself Brother, there was no hint of arrogance, using it just as a friendly address.
"Handle the aftermath first!"
To avoid suspicion, Lin Baici handed the tal ball to An Xiaohui and took a few steps back.
An Xiaohui held the thing as if it were a hot potato, with an awkward expression.
As a team leader, he had no right to know the password for the tal box, so he couldn’t re-lock it, only hold it.
But considering it was a taboo thing, even through the Black Coffin, no one wanted to touch it for long.
After all, this thing was tens of thousands of tis more terrifying than nuclear radiation.
However, An Xiaohui was released from his fear quickly.
Soone invading the ’treasury’, how dare they?
The head of security rushed over imdiately.
Entering through the large doors and spotting Lin Baici and the others, he instinctively shouted, "Arrest these people!"
But after shouting, he realized sothing was wrong.
The atmosphere in the hall was too harmonious, not at all like confronting robbers.
"Captain, it’s an A-grade incident!"
An Xiaohui shouted, "The Black Coffin is damaged, pollution leak."
"What?"
The captain was startled, instantly focusing on the tal ball An Xiaohui was holding: "This one? Was it handled?"
"It has been properly handled!"
An Xiaohui glanced at Lin Baici, and now the question was, how did this kid open the tal box?
Even if Chief Li was clueless, he wouldn’t possibly ignore this!
"That’s good, quickly put it in the tal box... Huh?"
Indeed, Chief Li imdiately picked up on the situation, his gaze becoming sharp: "How did you open the tal box?"
Given the significance of the matter, there was no room for Chief Li to ask in a roundabout manner.
What he worried about was whether the taboo things preserved in the other tal boxes were still there.
Thinking about the possibility of them being empty, he broke into a cold sweat.
An Xiaohui gave an embarrassed smile, looking at Lin Baici.
Chief Li imdiately focused his gaze.
"It was who opened it!"
Lin Baici took out his phone, glanced at the ti: "As for how I could open it? No comnt!"
"You are...?"
Chief Li inquired.
"Lin Baici!"
"The Haijing god of forest?"
Chief Li was shocked: "Lin Longyi?"
"Why ask so many questions? My Brother Lin just helped you avoid a major pollution incident, didn’t he? And this is your attitude?"
