Chapter 24
The silver-eyed young man looked at everyone indifferently, his expression unable to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Under the anxious and expectant gaze of the crowd, he was about to say something, but suddenly paused and turned his head to look into the distance on the other side.
There, numerous ships and aircraft were approaching rapidly.
Although it was late, the "door" logo belonging to the Extraordinary Guild on the leading ship indicated that they had finally arrived.
...No, maybe it's not that they are slow, but that Lu Mi's side is developing too fast.
In fact, the Extraordinary Guild immediately assembled all the strongest forces in the vicinity, and even the headquarters was completely alarmed.
Lu Mi sighed imperceptibly and turned to the crowd, saying, "Let's leave here first."
This is an order given to everyone.
The Zerg were shocked and looked up in surprise.
"So, you agree..."
Ji Zhou sternly glanced at the Zerg who were about to get carried away with their pride, and reminded them in a deep voice: "This is the King's first order to you."
What are you still hesitating about!?
All the Zerg responded in unison instantly, even ignoring the many humans coming from afar.
At this moment, the captain of the largest ship in the front was looking at the scene in the distance with his pupils shaking.
"Are those... all creatures from the abyss..."
Countless unheard-of humanoid species hovered high in the air.
From where they were, they could only see distant black dots one after another. They were not sure whether the other party had discovered them - no, they must have discovered them, and might be watching them!
The captain then noticed the figure in the center, surrounded by numerous alien species. He stared at it intently and asked repeatedly, "How is the magnitude tester reacting?"
"……broken."
"What?"
"We just tried to capture the remaining energy in the air, and it broke..."
An extraordinary person held the instrument that was emitting black smoke with trembling hands, his tone was incredulous.
You know, this is an instrument that can capture even the legendary B-level abyssal creatures, but now--! The chill behind it made him dare not think deeply. He was afraid that he would lose the courage to continue standing there, but his eyes could not help but be attracted by the spectacular scene in the distance.
Oh my god... what on earth is going on here! A gathering of powerful abyssal creatures never seen before...?
While a group of extraordinary people were on high alert and even prepared to make sacrifices to find the truth, Lu Mi's side was filled with a joyful New Year atmosphere.
With the joint efforts of Lu Mi and Sequence One Gabo, the turbulent sea surface suddenly began to spread layer upon layer of circular patterns.
The huge mirror world passage opens to the ordinary world.
The power of space dissipated greatly, and a strange celestial phenomenon like the aurora appeared in the sky, forming a magnificent picture in the howling of the moist sea breeze.
The sky and the earth changed color.
"--Walk."
Following Lu Mi's order, he was the first to jump down from the air.
Behind him, thousands and millions of Zerg followed closely, drawing a high arc and rushing towards the sea without hesitation.
From a distance, the Zerg's wings reflected brilliant light, as if countless stars were falling, which was extremely spectacular.
“Wow—”
The hurricane rising from the sea carried the power of space, creating a huge hole in the sky, revealing the azure sky behind the clouds.
The dissipated power surged everywhere with the strong wind, and the fleet began to shake violently along with the sea surface.
The extraordinary people couldn't help but cover their eyes one by one. A burst of sand and rocks flew everywhere. They lowered their raised arms and looked again -
The strong wind gradually died down, and only the sea surface, which had not yet completely calmed down, could reveal some clues.
"Captain..." A transcendent man seemed to be in a dream, with only his violent heartbeat reminding him that what had just happened was not an illusion.
Although they seemed to have avoided a life-or-death crisis, everyone's mood did not relax, but rather became even heavier.
"Contact headquarters immediately."
The fleet captain took a deep breath and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Say that an unidentified A-level abyssal creature has appeared in the sea! Request headquarters to immediately activate the highest emergency plan—"
"Warn the world! Prepare for evacuation, everyone in the alliance—!"
Every time an A-level abyss creature appears, it means everything will be turned upside down.
And this time, it is indeed two different worlds, a complete change in another sense.
Through the mirror world, Lu Mi was transferred back to the auction ship.
The rest of the Zerg, Demons, and Red Dragons stayed in the mirror world temporarily, and Lu Mi only brought Grant and Salien, who had left with him, to the deck of the giant ship.
Speaking of these two humans who were the only ones besides Lu Mi, perhaps because their world views had been shattered too frequently, in the later stages the two of them completely hid in the aircraft and remained silent.
Of course, it is also possible that he was shocked by the series of astonishing scenes and temporarily lost the ability to organize language.
At this moment, Lu Mi finally pulled away and looked at the mental state of the two people.
...My goodness, the two of them have been slumped in their seats and not moving. I don’t know how long they have been in this state.
"Are you okay?" Lu Mi opened the cover of the aircraft from the outside and looked down at them.
In an instant, Saleen took a deep breath and rolled out of the driver's seat.
The noble young man Grant suddenly looked up, staring at Lu Mi with shining eyes, as if he was looking at the eternal god, "That was so exciting!! Can we do that again?"
Just now... space transfer?
Lu Mi looked at the other person's lively appearance and shook his head helplessly.
Don’t be afraid that the human body can’t bear it and be torn into pieces, young man.
Should we say that Grant is naive or ignorant? As a young man who has never been involved in the extraordinary world, he may still regard everything so far as an unprecedented adventure, and even think that this is the "normal" daily life of extraordinary people.
So he would be surprised and shocked by everything, but he would not understand the meaning behind it, and he would not understand that even for extraordinary people, these things are absolutely beyond common sense.
"Young Master!" A group of bodyguards heard the sound of the aircraft landing and hurried over, their eyes filled with tears.
"Are you safe, Master?"
"Please don't do this next time. If something happens to you, how are we going to explain to the master?"
A group of bodyguards, with thankful expressions on their faces, were busy checking the boy's body, and they all said that their hearts could not withstand such shock.
Lu Mi took the opportunity to ask, "How is the auction going?"
"Auction?" The bodyguards looked at him strangely, as if they wanted to say that after so many messed up things had happened, who would care about the auction?
Until Grant glared at them and said, "Hey, I'm asking you a question - the auction!"
"Oh, this auction... It is said that it has been changed to a private auction. You can place your bid on Starnet tonight. Whoever bids the highest at the appointed time can just take the item and leave." The bodyguards answered repeatedly.
Lu Mi immediately jumped off the aircraft, "How much time is left?"
"Until the ship docks. Now the giant ship has returned to the nearest port, about... less than an hour left!" The bodyguard counted on his fingers and estimated quickly.
Lu Mi then took out the terminal and connected to the cruise ship's built-in star network on the spot.
At this time, Salien finally got up from the ground, came to his senses and looked at him, then turned around and noticed that there were many ordinary people he had never seen on the deck on the other side of the ship.
They were huddled together wrapped in blankets, with medical staff coming and going around them, checking on them from time to time.
Noticing his gaze, the bodyguard at the side spoke up, his words filled with a sigh and disbelief as he recalled the past. "Those people were sent back by a group of winged beings after you left. They appear to be the same group that attacked the auction... Some say they're creatures from the Abyss. Isn't that strange!"
The bodyguard brought this up as if it were a curious anecdote—why would they help humans? What was the relationship between the two groups? Was it an internal conflict, or was there something else going on?
Finally, the bodyguards waited expectantly for Saleen's reaction. After all, many people were scared to death at the time.
Unexpectedly, Saleen just glanced at him calmly.
Ha, so naive. The leader of the group of abyss creatures who received orders is here now. Not only did he see the other party ascend the throne with his own eyes, but he is still afraid of this?
Thinking of the center of all this storm, Salien couldn't help but look at Lu Mi again. Now he was able to remain calm on the surface, but only he knew the shock in his heart.
At this moment, Lu Mi was frowning and fiddling with the terminal in his hand, and suddenly put his hand down.
——What a mistake. The third generation terminal can’t even fit into the network here!
"Grant, can you lend me your terminal?" Lu Mi turned to the young man next to him.
The young nobleman took one glance and immediately understood the problem. He patted his chest and said, "Don't bother, I'll do it for you! No one has ever dared to steal our family's things. By the way, take a picture of the flute as well, so that others won't gossip about it later."
If he wants it, just buy it openly. He has money anyway!
The fact was just as Grant said. As soon as he took action, what Lu Mi wanted was delivered to him before he reached the shore.
The three of them gathered temporarily in Grant's room.
"Is this what you want?" Grant looked at the box in Lu Mi's hand curiously.
"I guess so." Lu Mi looked at the pattern on the box calmly. Strictly speaking, this was what the Extraordinary Guild wanted.
"Then let's check the goods quickly to see if they are genuine!" Grant was obviously very curious about what Lu Mi was interested in.
Salien stared at him silently. "Do we need to avoid it?"
Lu Mi opened the box directly.
——What appeared among them was a lamp that looked like a teapot.
The lamp was covered with a layer of gold paint, and it shone brightly under the illumination of the chandelier, looking very noble.
"This...could it be?" Salien looked at the lamp for a few seconds, then suddenly frowned and spoke, hesitating to speak, causing Grant next to him to elbow him.
"You know him? Just say it!" Grant hated it most when people left things unsaid.
Salien stared at him silently, but with Lu Mi present, the noble boy was not afraid at all.
"...There's a rumor in the underground world." Salien retracted his gaze and said to Lu Mi, "It's said that there's a treasure that can summon gods. It looks like a lamp, and whoever obtains it can have three wishes granted."
Lu Mi: ...I've heard this story. The last person who got it was called Aladdin.
"I don't believe it!" Grant scoffed. "If it really was that effective, whoever got it would just wish for endless wealth. Why would they need to auction it off?"
Upon hearing this, Salien couldn't help but look up to the young man, as if he didn't expect that the other party had some intelligence.
Grant: "...What's that look in your eyes!?"
"You're right." Salien ignored the boy's dissatisfaction and continued to talk to Lu Mi, "In fact, everyone who obtained it ended up in misfortune, so this lamp gradually became regarded as an ominous object... The last time we heard about it was a few years ago. It was said to be collected by a wealthy businessman. I didn't expect to see it here."
Now it was Grant's turn to worry about Lu Mi. "This thing doesn't sound good. Is this really what you want? Or should we just throw it away?"
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but the moment the noble boy finished speaking, Lu Mi felt the lamp in his hand get slightly hot.
He couldn't help but narrow his eyes and stroked the carved patterns on it with interest.
interesting……
The silver-eyed young man picked it up and looked carefully inside the teacup, but all he saw was pitch black.
There is one thing the other party said that is not wrong——
Ominous thing, of course.
Because the aura of the abyss is almost overflowing from this thing.
"How long will it take for the ship to reach the shore?" Lu Mi suddenly asked.
Grant subconsciously glanced at the clock on the wall. "Probably, about fifteen minutes."
"That's enough." Lu Mi nodded, "I'll go in for a moment."
"Go in?...Where to?" The two looked at him in confusion.
The silver-eyed young man simply smiled and fixed his gaze on the spout of the lamp, which was the only passage.
