Chapter 118 Hiding in the Shadows
"Okay, everyone is in high spirits, so there's only one last thing left."
The old director's expression became very kind again.
"The winning team of this conference will receive a large amount of financial funding from their Special Management Bureau, as well as more positions in the Special Management Bureau."
Li Muhan was a little uninterested. Aren’t these just team rewards?
But the old director's next words made him tremble, and his eyes immediately lit up.
"Considering that the individual rewards in previous competitions were too small, the winning team of this exchange conference will receive a magical weapon crafted by the Special Customs Administration's Engineering Department. Each person will receive one. Not only that, they will also have the opportunity to enter the Special Customs Administration's secret treasure vault and gain the right to use a secret treasure once."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was boiling again.
"The Secret Treasure House? The Secret Treasure House of the Special Customs Bureau? There are all kinds of legendary artifacts in there."
"I heard that the Secret Treasure Vault of the Special Management Bureau contains all the secret treasures in China from ancient times to the present. Whether it's the Donghuang Bell or the Sifang Ding, they are all artifacts that can enhance the level of aliens by more than one level."
"Hey, I'm really motivated this time, little devils, you better be careful."
Listening to the discussions of the different types of people, Li Muhan was a little confused. He didn't understand if these secret treasures were really that good?
When he turned around to look at his teammates, he found that Hati had stood up with an excited smile on her face.
"What's going on? Why are you standing up? Hati, sit down quickly."
Li Muhan was afraid that the old man would look at him again, so he quickly pulled Hati's sleeve.
"I heard that there is a magical artifact in the secret treasure house of the Chinese Special Customs Bureau called the Haotian Mirror, which can reveal the hiding places of all the aliens in the world."
Hati said excitedly.
Li Muhan and Xia Yue understood instantly.
If I could enter the secret treasure house and use the Haotian Mirror once, wouldn't finding Skull be a piece of cake?
"If that's the case, why can't we just ask the Special Customs Bureau to lend it to us? After all, Skull's disappearance is a significant threat to China."
Li Muhan asked.
"Hey, my friend, you are so easy to say. Do you think you are going to the street to buy sesame cakes?"
Sun Yan patted Li Muhan's shoulder and said.
"Although this secret treasure of the Special Management Bureau is powerful, using it once will expose the secrets of heaven. Not only will it have a huge impact on China's Qi and meridians, it will also cause the treasure to fall into a deep sleep. I remember that this Haotian Mirror can only be used once every fifty years. How can you use it just because I give it to you?"
After Sun Yan's explanation, Li Muhan understood.
"I see... Is this why you insist on letting me participate, Lin Ze?"
Hati seemed to understand why Lin Ze insisted on letting her attend the conference this time. This was to give her a chance to use her own strength to gain the right to use the Haotian Mirror.
"Hey, hey, hey, everyone, we haven't even started fighting yet, and you're already picking out treasures?"
Sun Yan interrupted the fantasies of several people and then added a sentence.
"Besides, even if you win this team competition, you should still listen to everyone's opinions. Are you going to give up your own chance just to help this young lady find someone?"
Sun Yan glanced at the others.
"Ah? It doesn't matter. If Miss Hati can find her brother, I can also choose the Haotian Mirror."
Chi Yuan said.
"As long as you treat Jinwu to delicious food, I will agree to this!"
Jinwu said.
"...I don't have any wishes to fulfill, nor do I have any treasures I want to use. Everything is up to you."
Nightmare said timidly.
Finally, Xia Yue frowned, opened her mouth, and finally sighed, looking at Hati unhappily.
"Once you find your brother, get back here."
"Of course I have no objection."
Li Muhan said.
"Oh shit."
Sun Yan was stunned.
"Everyone says you guys at the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau are deep-seated, but I just realized today how deeply compassionate you are! You're so selfless! I'm truly deeply moved!"
Hati was also stunned.
She didn't expect that these people, even Xia Yue, would support her unconditionally.
For the first time, she seemed to feel a certain throbbing in her heart.
I wanted to say thank you, but I just couldn't open my mouth.
"Ahem, those people at the back, have you had enough chatting?"
In the end, the few people who made too much noise were naturally scared by the director's look and all calmed down.
"Everyone, this conference is just an exchange meeting. I hope everyone can play to their strengths, but please don't be too aggressive. I won't say any more nonsense. I wish every participating team good results."
Lu Shan tapped the ground with his crutch again, and then his and Lei Jian's figures gradually began to disappear.
The surrounding scene began to darken, and the figures of other team members gradually became blurred. At this moment, Li Muhan suddenly saw several men in black cloaks standing in front of him.
"Tianhai City Special Management Bureau, we will make sure you get nothing this year."
The leading man sneered after saying this.
Before Li Muhan could respond, their figures slowly disappeared. Finally, Li Muhan and others found that they had returned to the reception room on the second floor of the hotel.
"Who are they, so arrogant?!"
Li Muhan couldn't help but slam the table and stood up.
"The team from the Beiyuan City Special Management Bureau, they were the ones who eliminated us last time."
Chi Yuan smiled helplessly, as if recalling some bad memories.
"They're very strong, but we're not weak this year either! And last time, Sister Xia lost after being beaten by a group of them!"
"Ah? Why was Xia Yue beaten up by a group of people?"
Li Muhan asked a key question.
Jinwu and Chiyuan both lowered their heads.
“Because others lose so quickly.”
Xia Yue said this expressionlessly.
The case is solved, what a stupid teammate... Li Muhan complained in his heart but didn't say it out loud.
"Hahahahahaha! This little birdie is right about one thing. You guys are definitely not weak this year!"
Sun Yan walked over and put his arm around Li Muhan's shoulders and said.
"Look, you've even hired foreign aid this year. Everyone, I have a suggestion. Why don't our two special management bureaus temporarily form an alliance now?"
When Sun Yan made this proposal, everyone's eyes turned to him.
"Are you from Fulin City? I remember you seemed to be the champion of the conference ten years ago?"
Chi Yuan's words frightened Li Mu so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Holy shit! Champion!
I underestimated this man before.
"Hey! Lucky! Lucky! Thanks for letting me do that!"
However, Sun Yan seemed reluctant to mention this matter and smiled awkwardly.
"He's the champion who turned into a tree and hid from the Beihai City Special Management Bureau for a month, ultimately forcing him to resign."
Jinwu whispered to Li Muhan.
"So he's a scoundrel..."
Li Muhan's respect for Sun Yan just now disappeared immediately.
"Hey, hey! How can you talk like that! Just because you're a slacker, you're not a champion!? Just tell me whether you won or not!"
Li Muhan thought for a while and said.
"It doesn't matter if we form an alliance, but the Beihai City Special Management Bureau must hate you deeply. If we form an alliance with you, will they come after us first?"
Sun Yan chuckled twice and said.
"My friend, since this is your first time participating, you may not understand that forming an alliance with your Tianhai City Special Management Bureau is truly a huge risk."
Li Muhan didn't quite understand what he meant. Sun Yan looked up at the clock in the conference room.
"It's half an hour until 12 o'clock. We can leave now."
"Huh? Where are you going?"
Li Muhan asked with some confusion.
Sun Yan smiled and pointed downwards.
"Into the shadows, of course."
