Chapter 158: False Crystal
When I said this, Bai Zang immediately became interested. He motioned for me to sit back on the bed, and he walked in and pulled a stool over to sit down.
"Tell me more."
I raised my eyebrows slightly: "You have to give something in exchange."
Bai Zang narrowed his eyes, his lips curling up in an almost imperceptible arc. He slowly fished out a pack of wrinkled cigarettes from the hidden pocket of his trousers, took out a cigarette, and toyed with it between his fingers.
"The supplies at the base will be given priority to you. Whether it's food, equipment, or medical supplies, you can use them anytime you want without asking me for permission."
When I heard him say this, I felt nothing in my heart and even wanted to laugh.
Although I am still far from reaching the realm of a true god, and perhaps even being a demigod is a bit of a stretch, the issue of supplies is not the most difficult problem for me. At worst, I can just go eat meatballs.
Seeing that I didn't seem interested, Bai Zang narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at me dangerously: "Or, you can tell me, what exactly do you want?"
"I want to be the second-in-command of the Black Dragon Gang." I looked him straight in the eyes and stated my conditions.
Bai Zang's fingers suddenly stopped. He looked up at me and said jokingly, "Second in command?"
His voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, yet it carried a suffocating sense of oppression. "Do you know what you are saying?"
I met his gaze, the corner of my mouth curled up and I said teasingly, "Why, you're reluctant to give up power?"
He suddenly crushed the cigarette in his palm, the tobacco shavings falling from between his fingers. This action carried a certain danger signal, like a beast gathering strength before pouncing.
"Just based on a piece of news you said that you don't know whether it's true or not?"
I smiled and shook my head. "It would be no good for me to lie to you. Besides, you should be able to guess that this base was once one of the bases of my organization. Are you more familiar with it than me?"
As I said that, I leaned back and looked into his eyes. "I'm curious, how did you find such a hidden stronghold?"
However, Bai Zang was not fooled. He leaned forward slightly and replied with a half-smile, "Then how did you know the Black Dragon Gang was in this stronghold?"
Bai Zang's question made me slightly stunned.
I almost forgot about this... Fortunately, this is not a loophole that is difficult to cover up.
"As someone who used to work in the relevant departments, it's not difficult for me to find out about this."
Bai Zang didn't respond, simply continuing to scrutinize me with those hawk-like eyes. He seemed relaxed, but I knew that at this distance, he could strike at any moment.
I spread my hands casually and continued, "You can take more time to think about it. I'm not in a rush."
Bai Zang's eyes still didn't leave me, but he didn't dwell on it for too long. He simply tilted his head slightly and said nonchalantly, "My words don't count. You have to convince the brothers."
Finally, he smiled mischievously and added, "I believe you have the ability, but before that, you should take good care of your injuries and don't die accidentally."
Having said that, he stood up and left the room, closing the door behind him.
After a long time, I sighed, not because I was worried that I couldn't deal with those people from the Black Dragon Gang, but because I was troubled by the long process of building my own faith. Gali might wake up at any time, and other evil gods were also ready to make a move. I didn't dare to stop for a quarter of an hour.
Thinking of this, I casually summoned a small piece of mirror fragment, which contained the crystal that I had taken out from the ruins at the bottom of the cold bay.
I don't have any suitable storage measures at the moment, and leaving it in the mirror is not a good idea.
If it were something else, I might go directly into the mirror to check. After all, I have mastered some virtual authority, and entering the virtual world is equivalent to my territory, which can avoid certain risks.
But this crystal was taken from the ruins related to Gali. If I open it in the mirror, I am afraid it will cause changes that I cannot control.
After hesitating for a moment, I decided to take it out and study it.
I tapped the mirror with my fingertips, and a shimmering crystal gradually emerged. After a faint flash of light, the crystal appeared in the real world. I used object manipulation to make it float above my palm so I could examine it more closely.
This is a polyhedron crystal with some flowing light on the surface. Each surface is smooth and flat, and can reflect like a mirror. But if you look closely, you will find that countless contradictory geometric paradoxes are vaguely presented in these large and small mirrors.
Although this is the first time I've looked closely at it, I still feel like I've seen it before...
After staring at it for a long time, I feel a little headache.
I frowned and tried to look away slowly.
However, as soon as I looked away, the sight before me nearly made me scream.
I don't know when I was no longer in the original room. I was surrounded by some distorted and surreal geometric buildings, with countless large and small mirror reflectors in these buildings.
Isn’t this the ruins on the bottom of the Han Bay!
My scalp is tingling and I don’t know what’s going on.
The next second, I suddenly realized something was wrong.
"break!"
Sure enough, the scene just now shattered like a mirror, and what appeared before me was still the original room.
I quickly threw the crystal back into the mirror and shook my head with lingering fear.
I just briefly recalled the underwater ruins, and the surrounding scenery changed unconsciously, and it was exactly the same as what I imagined in my mind. I guess this crystal can project the images in my mind, even if it's just a subconscious memory.
Such a useless feature...
Now I have the ability to actively create illusions, but it doesn't last too long, at most an hour. If I want to achieve a certain goal through illusions, it seems that I don't need to use this mirror crystal.
I felt inexplicably disappointed, as if I had gone through so much trouble to reach a wolf's den, only to pick up a pile of feces from it.
But soon, I thought of another possibility. Since this is Gali's thing, is it possible for me to find relevant information from the knowledge I got from Gali?
Almost subconsciously, a message formed in my mind.
This was originally a piece of planetary debris, formed by the dust of the destroyed planet after the last "cycle" ended.
Later, it was chosen by Gali and some power was injected into it. It was a huge one at first, but under the long-term influence of the evil god's power, its properties slowly changed.
Then it was deliberately dropped to Earth.
In short, this thing is the medium that Gali uses to influence the earth and reality.
And its use is far more than just creating illusions. It can even be said to be no different from cheating...
