Chapter 1145: [(850)] Found it (requesting monthly tickets and subscriptions)

“Repeat that, the black box is lost!”

“Lost? How is that possible!!!”

Tang Lu stood up in shock.

His eyes were wide and round.

He pounded his fist on the desk in front of him, stating each word clearly, “The security of the black box is imperative! It is not a request!”

The entire Eternal Night Headquarters seemed enveloped by a dark cloud momentarily.

Tang Lu couldn’t understand how the black box could just disappear… especially right under Fish Tail’s watch.

“Fish Tail, can you still sense the existence of the black box?”

“There’s an Array obstructing, lend me some power of the Artifact Spirit, and I am confident in breaking through the Formation in front of us,” said Fish Tail succinctly.

Generally, Tang Lu wouldn’t easily lend the power of the Artifact Spirit to anyone.

But he knew Fish Tail’s identity was clear.

Moreover–

The situation was special.

“Agreed.”

Tang Lu consented to the request.

…

Yu Long rushed into the Array Room and looked around oddly, “This… kind of feels utterly desolate, doesn’t it?”

Fish Tail glanced at the empty room and didn’t say much.

Following Tang Lu’s “Be ready to receive,” she quickly activated the power of the Artifact Spirit.

“Buzz—-”

The Void trembled.

From in front of her, it spread like boiling, turbulent water.

However, an unexpected event occurred!

The retaliation from the woman in the black dress exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Yu Long was caught off guard by the Sword Light and was like a cannonball, smashing through the wall and falling into the Talisman Garden next door.

“You damned old lady! Can’t you stay still at all!”

Light of the Star quickly enveloped him, and he hurled out a punch.

The woman in the black dress stretched out her finger.

At the moment it touched down.

A terrifying force was detonated mid-air.

Countless blazing streams surged chaotically all around.

Yu Long staggered, but with bright eyes, he said to Fish Tail behind him, “This old lady’s been injured by your Sword Array, I’ll go meet her!”

Saying this, he dashed towards her.

The ground trembled.

He delivered a massive punch from the Heavenly Realm Fist.

The typically graceful demeanor of the woman in the black dress showed rare signs of disarray; she formed a Seal with both hands.

The ground around her suddenly rose from the earth.

“This!”

Yu Long was startled, but since he had already charged forward, he had no choice but to press on.

Countless square slabs appeared in front of him, seemingly harmless, yet flames suddenly erupted in front of Yu Long.

“Darn!”

His cursing voice was instantly muffled.

When Yu Long emerged from the sea of flames, he quickly patted off the flames on him, his already scarce hair completely burned off, his bare eyebrows looking extremely disheveled.

“Damn, where did that old lady go?”

“Ran away?”

Looking around, the figure of the woman in the black dress was nowhere to be seen.

Being escaped from right in front of him was a blow to Yu Long’s pride.

Still, he notified Tang Lu, “She ran.”

Tang Lu, concerned about the whereabouts of the black box, didn’t feel much, simply stating, “I’ve already conducted an identity check on her. Assist Fish Tail in locating the black box.”

“Alright.”

Yu Long touched his head, and then his eyebrows, suddenly exclaiming with joy, “It doesn’t hurt? Is that old lady’s strength so severely damaged that she can’t even perform her corrupt abilities?”

But as soon as he spoke.

He was crippled with pain.

“Darn! Next time I see that old lady, I must slaughter her!”

“Found it.”

Just then, Fish Tail voiced out.

Yu Long tremulously chugged a bottle of Detoxification Pill and when he crawled before Fish Tail, he was shocked to find that instead of clear tears, Fish Tail’s eyes were now shedding blood tears.

Yu Long was immediately horrified.

“Fish Tail!!!”

“I’m fine.” Fish Tail’s voice was calm, quietly wiping away the blood tears, she spoke to Tang Lu, “Seal the Nanling Mountain. The target is moving…”

…

Inside Nanling Mountain.

A short, stocky man carrying a sack was sprinting through the forest swiftly when suddenly, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, he quickly tossed away the sack and his body flew backwards.

When the sack fell to the ground with the wind, it was already empty, unknown when it happened.

The strong man’s face changed dramatically, and he hurriedly said, “Friendly, don’t attack.”

However, a hand was already placed on his shoulder from behind.

“Bang!”

The ground beneath the strong man’s feet exploded.

And the poison needle he had prepared in his sleeve was quickly flung backward.

With “swooshing” sounds tearing through the air.

The strong man broke free from the hand and swiftly lunged forward.

In a fleeting glimpse.

He felt his scalp tingling.

There was no one behind him.

“Damn, am I seeing ghosts?”

The strong man didn’t leave but held his breath and said solemnly, “Friend, I’m entrusted to get you out of trouble. There’s no need for this between us?”

As soon as his words fell.

A hand landed on his shoulder again.

[Chaotically!]

The strong man cursed under his breath and struggled free again.

But to his surprise, this time he couldn’t break free.

He quickly said, “Brother, there really is no need for this.”

Although he said that, his actions were far from friendly.

He struck with a palm.

Once again, he missed.

The strong man’s figure retreated explosively only to find there was no one behind him again.

[What the hell is going on here?]

Someone had instructed him to take this person away.

Naturally, it was because of the black box.

Specifically, someone wanted the black box.

But at that time, he only saw this person and didn’t find the black box.

So he simply took Pei Jinye away.

Again, strange disturbances came from behind.

The strong man was annoyed.

Even a clay figurine has its anger, let alone him!

He stomped his foot.

Stones flew chaotically!

But before he could make his next move, he was shocked to find a huge dark shadow in the forest in front of him.

He couldn’t see what was happening at all.

But in an instant–

The shadow rushed towards him.

It was just a hand.

A giant palm!

Under the moonlight, one could clearly see the mysterious and eerie black patterns on the giant palm, invoking awe.

In a certain moment, the strong man suddenly seemed to recognize something.

With horror overwhelming him.

“The black box… you actually… opened it!”

Before he could finish.

The giant palm had already relentlessly grasped him in its palm.

“Don’t kill me… please, don’t kill me, I don’t know anything…”

“Crack!”

Bones shattered, and a mist of blood spread.

But eerily, this blood mist seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force, continuously flowing into the black patterns on the giant palm.

…

Countless memories flooded in.

…

Yet Pei Jinye lay between the trees as if in a coma.

The ghostly images on his body looked like countless black flames burning, slowly extinguishing.

Not long after.

Explosion sounds came from the distance.

Vague curses about a “dead woman” were heard.

In less than three minutes, a group of people rushed into Nanling Mountain.

Yu Long was overjoyed: “It’s this kid!”

Tang Lu’s voice came through the headset: “Where is the black box?”

“The black box…” While Yu Long was still hesitating.

Fish Tail had already rushed to Pei Jinye’s side and, seeing the black box quietly lying on the ground next to him, said, “The black box is still here.”

“That’s good.” Tang Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
