Chapter 392 Three Ways to Eat One Fish
The sound of footsteps grew closer and closer, and Xu Yi could already see the silhouette of the "Pupa Person," the black armor emitting a tremendous sense of oppression.
That armor was called the "Black Abyss Combat Attire," for short, Black Abyss Gear, which was the battle gear of the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization.
It was said that there were even more advanced combat gears, but those were top secret, and even Bob had no clue about them.
"My Dreamland is called Black Abyss, shouldn't this gear be mine?"
Xu Yi couldn't help feeling sour inside, the Black Abyss Gear was way too OP, and he couldn't help but be envious.
Maria's knife was already half drawn, ready to act at any moment. Suddenly, Bob extended his hand, signaling Maria to stay calm.
Maria hesitated for a moment, then sheathed her knife.
Bob flicked a cigarette from his pack, placed it between his lips, and didn't bother to light it.
With a look of disdain on his face, he walked straight toward the Black Abyss Army.
"Brother, I've already made a deal with your manager."
Bob pulled a key from his pocket, "But share and share alike, this key can open box number f1803 at the headquarters of the Swiss Bank."
He handed over the key, "This is a little token of appreciation, I hope you like it."
The Black Abyss soldier looked around, said nothing, took the key, and turned to leave.
After everything that happened today, Xu Yi felt like his entire worldview had been shattered.
The Ancient God Sacrificial Organization could be said to be the most powerful force in the world, yet it gave him a sense of déjà vu to South Korean political circles, where corruption was rampant.
He wasn't sure if this was an isolated case, or if the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization was all like this.
"These strange pieces of flesh can fetch a high price on the black market, and the Black Abyss Army often uses them to make a little extra cash," explained Bob.
Xu Yi couldn't help admiring that Bob did have his reliable moments; this trick of creating something from nothing was indeed clever.
Bob had been holding onto a safety deposit box, which he suddenly tossed to West.
Xu Yi was stunned. What was he up to now?
"Brother with the glasses, help me cut some flesh from Gui Tang, lock it in the box, and then toss it out," Bob instructed.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Bob hurriedly added, "Thank you!"
Well, look at that! The man's got manners! Xu Yi thought, full of thoughts he couldn't express.
He had thought that Bob had just made up a lie to fool the Black Abyss Army, but it turned out to be true.
"Carpooling" was one thing, but this guy actually pulled off a "triple dip"!
West opened the box, which contained blue ice crystals.
He actually cut off a piece of meat the size of a palm from the dragon's head. According to Bob, the dragon's head was known as Gui Tang.
"Is this enough?" West, ever unpretentious, even asked with a smile.
"More than enough, thank you so much, I'll treat you to tea someday!" Bob responded grandly.
Once Bob had the safety deposit box, he reached out to close the metal door.
"How are we going to get out later?" Xu Yi finally couldn't contain himself and spoke using Annabelle's body.
"Don't worry, I've arranged everything!" Bob gestured an OK sign.
Xu Yi couldn't shake off the feeling that Bob's plan wasn't reliable, but as the heavy metal door shut loudly, they were plunged into darkness.
Xu Yi and West moved in the dark, approaching the massive dragon head called Gui Tang, cutting a hole at the severed neck big enough to hide in.
The dragon head Gui Tang roared in pain, but it could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.
Their actions were almost identical, covering themselves with a special potion and then crawling inside the body of the dragon head Gui Tang.
In the darkness, no one spoke, the transport plane roared to life, taking off. After a long while, it began to descend slowly.
Xu Yi heard the sound of waves hitting a solid object, they must have arrived at the seaborne base in the Arctic Ocean.
The metal box jostled again. After an unknown duration, it was unloaded, leaving only the transparent Magic-Prohibiting Box. Finally, the light was restored.
Xu Yi instructed Annabelle to hide well. Using the ability of the Symbiotic Eye, he cautiously peeked outside.
What came into view was a black, circular tunnel. Patrolling above it were soldiers of the Black Abyss army; at a glance, there were over thirty of them.
With such formidable power, even a Demon God arriving here wouldn't be able to escape easily.
Above the Magic-Prohibiting Box was a metal arm with eight claws firmly gripping the box.
The metal arm suddenly shuddered, taking the Magic-Prohibiting Box down along with it.
The light within the tunnel was dim; Xu Yi could barely make out large, arched platforms built along the edges of the tunnel.
Those platforms were piled with dense arrays of Magic-Prohibiting Boxes, each a treasure of immense value if placed outside.
Xu Yi found this unsurprising, as the Magic-Prohibiting Boxes were originally manufactured by the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization.
Each Magic-Prohibiting Box contained an abnormal creature, some ghosts, and even giant beasts— all sorts of strange entities.
What was the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization planning to do with so many captured creatures? Xu Yi was very curious.
The Magic-Prohibiting Box continued downward, and after every few hundred meters, another platform emerged.
Xu Yi noticed a pattern: the lower the platform, the more powerful the abnormalities within the Magic-Prohibiting Boxes.
Upon reaching the 05 level platform, the metal arm jerked suddenly, preparing to move the Magic-Prohibiting Box onto the vacant space on the platform.
The platforms were organized by the ranks of strength, which meant that Dragon Head Ghost Tang belonged to the range of creatures for this area.
But West suddenly peeked out, staring above, where the threads lurking on the outside of the Magic-Prohibiting Box began to squirm.
It was a nearly transparent thin line, as thin as a hair, very difficult to detect.
That line was evidently left by West outside the Magic-Prohibiting Box, now creeping up the metal arm.
The metal arm hesitated a moment, as if it had jammed, but after a while, it continued downward with the Magic-Prohibiting Box.
The mechanical arm was also an alchemical product. If West had indeed joined the Ring of Destruction, with the alchemy skills at their disposal, hacking into the metal arm would be well within his capabilities.
"What exactly is West here for?" Xu Yi grew even more curious.
The situation was undoubtedly in his favor; the Divine Burial Ground was deep in the sea, and the further down he went, the closer he got to his target.
The Magic-Prohibiting Box whistled downward, and they reached the 17th level platform.
There were significantly fewer Magic-Prohibiting Boxes on the platform—Xu Yi swept his gaze around and was inwardly shocked.
A fishman king wearing a Thorn Crown, a fierce Fallen Angel with black wings on its back, and even a unicorn radiating holy light... the strengths of these abnormalities were no less formidable than a titled exorcist.
Yet the Magic-Prohibiting Box was still moving downward.
The metal arm thundered, reaching its maximum extension, and they arrived at the deepest part of the tunnel, the 18th level platform.
On this platform, there was only one Magic-Prohibiting Box, which contained a seated clown wearing a vintage European performance costume, his face painted with thick white makeup, and his jaundiced yellow eyes resembling those of someone with severe hepatitis.
The ghastly-faced clown, sensing the disturbance, lifted his head and gave a faint glance before returning his gaze.
Without a doubt, the clown in front of them was West's target.
However, Xu Yi was a bit puzzled. The clown seemed much weaker than the abnormalities on the previous level, seemingly more fitted to appear on the third or fourth level platform.
"Hello, Mr. Pennywise!"
West emerged from beneath the dragon's head, approached the edge of the Magic-Prohibiting Box, and greeted through the "glass."
The clown seemed a bit intrigued but remained seated on the ground, simply twisting his head to watch West. Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire
"Mr. Pennywise, if you dislike that appellation, perhaps I may call you by another name, Deathlight," West said with a faint smile on his face.
Suddenly called by his true name, the clown sprang up from the ground and only came to a halt after crashing into the side of the box. He stared intensely at West, his expression ferocious.
In the Dream World far away, Xu Yi's eyes lit up upon hearing the name "Deathlight," and his heart began to beat thunderously.
What do you think?
