After a night of rest, everyone woke up feeling cheerful and ready to wash up. Of course, if you didn't count the dark circles under their eyes from playing cards until dawn, then the beautiful new day had officially begun.
"I think we should hurry up and find that box!" Cassie Holmes said earnestly to Ye Kai.
Her face was filled with seriousness because she knew that in their team, as long as Ye Kai nodded, everything would be easier to handle.
"Yes, I think we need to move quickly because according to the information I've received, a significant force has already gathered here—at least over thirty of them," Hook said in a low voice.
"Wait!"
Liu Yi furrowed his brows and asked in confusion, "Didn't we find Jira? Why are we still looking for... a box, a potion, Kira, and the Boss?!"
Suddenly, it seemed like he had figured something out. His eyes widened in surprise as he exclaimed with a strange expression, "The woman who stole the organization's potion must be Kira, right? So I misunderstood before; the organization not only wants to capture Kira but also retrieve that potion, which is hidden in a black box!?"
"Of course!" Nick exclaimed in astonishment. "You can't be just realizing this now!"
"Eh!"
Emily, Teresa, Hook, Ping Ji, and almost everyone turned around at that moment, staring intently at Liu Yi.
"How do you know the potion is hidden in a black box?"
"Do you know something?"
"Why do you know about it?"
"Do you know its whereabouts?"
Liu Yi was bewildered. Facing the constantly opening and closing mouths around him, he suddenly looked to Ye Kai for help, "Boss!"
He had been very curious about who had offered such a high price to have him guard the items in that building, and it seemed that he was finally about to find out.
"Clap! Clap!"
Ye Kai clapped his hands, signaling everyone to stop. Once all eyes were on him, he suddenly threw out a box and smirked, "This must be what you’re looking for, right?"
"Why is it in your hands?" Nick's expression changed slightly as he spoke in a low voice.
"Why can't it be in my hands?" Ye Kai retorted seriously.
"I... I..." Nick stubbornly raised his head, resembling a proud rooster ready to fight. But the next moment, he wilted, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead nervously. "It's nothing; I was just asking."
The reason was simple: it seemed this assertive teammate had guessed his thoughts. A nearly two-meter-tall staff suddenly appeared in Ye Kai's hand. He waved it lightly at the nearby coffee table, and then they heard a loud explosion.
"Well! The effect is quite good."
Ye Kai nodded with satisfaction. Although he couldn’t control the staff perfectly yet (in fact, he couldn’t control it at all), with a deity manipulating things behind the scenes, it was still no problem for him to act like a 'pseudo-mage.'
He slightly bowed and spoke in a somewhat gentlemanly manner, "I saw a mosquito flying by just now, so I couldn't help but take action. A rune spell—Air Burst—please excuse me."
In reality, the plot of the movie Ability was rather poor, and the skill effects were subpar as well. However, this was indeed a real dimension with superpowers.
But looking at the coffee table that had exploded into pieces, everyone felt a jolt in their hearts and could hardly believe their eyes.
They could swear they hadn’t sensed any fluctuations of superpowers, yet this...
Is this the magic that has been spoken of?
But hasn't magic already been proven to be just a fabrication by a group of ancient people with superpowers?
A series of questions flooded everyone's minds!
Then they looked at their pretentious 'teammates,' who were truly impossible to ignore!
This Boss not only had wealth and followers but also possessed an array of bizarre and powerful equipment, along with things they had never even seen before, constantly challenging their worldview.
They even began to doubt this world itself. Could it be that extraterrestrial beings occasionally visited Earth for friendly exchanges?
Otherwise, how could they explain all of this?
“Ding ding, Lord God, all combat personnel have reached their designated positions, and no one has been exposed. Should we proceed with the 'Fishing' plan immediately?”
“Oh, let me check the time; it really is that time!”
Suddenly, Ye Kai glanced at his left wrist to check the time and sighed lightly. Unbeknownst to him, it was already time to reel in.
“So, has Henry Cavill brought the immune suppressants that can reverse the collapse of the Ability Gene?”
“Yes, Lord God, we have found the immune suppressants that can counteract the genetic collapse caused by the injection of the Ability Gene.”
After stretching lazily, Ye Kai winked at Cassie Holmes, then casually tossed a Silver Metal Sphere into the air, ignoring the strange looks from everyone as he said, “God, activate projections for all locked targets and prepare to reel them in.”
Just as Cassie Holmes was mumbling something and preparing to ask a question, she was abruptly stopped, which left her feeling a bit frustrated as she turned back to glare at Nick.
“Lord God has confirmed, activating three-dimensional projections for all locked targets... 'Fishing Plan' initiated, net collection begins, Combat Team deploy immediately…”
“Beep beep... Infiltration of hk Municipal Network complete, Satellite Simulation Signal intrusion successful, Virtual Measurement Image functionality activated…”
Everyone was stunned.
This time it was genuine shock; even Liu Yi was dumbfounded.
Wait a minute!
What is the situation with Lord God?
The Fishing Plan has been activated?
The Combat Team is deploying immediately?
Preparing to collect the net?
Infiltrating the hk Municipal Network?
The Satellite Simulation Signal intrusion is complete?
The Virtual Measurement Image functionality is activated?
What on earth are all these terms? It’s like a barrage of jargon that makes no sense! The worldview just collapsed in an instant!!!
Before anyone could start complaining, the next series of changes sent everyone's hearts racing.
“Zzz…”
With a faint buzzing sound, the Silver Metal Sphere, which should have fallen to the ground, was now floating in mid-air, shimmering with several blue and white electric currents the width of a finger.
In just five or six seconds, the sphere split into two parts, one above and one below, about twenty centimeters apart. Then, a non-blinding beam of light suddenly appeared, connecting the two halves.
Seeing this scene, everyone was startled once again and retreated in panic; they had never encountered such a sci-fi object before!
“We’ve received news that the potion the organization is looking for was stolen by Kira. They are currently in a presidential suite at a five-star hotel.”
“No matter what, we must obtain that potion.”
“As long as we get it, we will truly rise and even become stronger and greater.”
…
“For the rise of the Empire, I entrust everything to you all.”
“Hey! Tian Jun, rest assured, everything is for the rise of the Empire.”
…
“I think we’re in big trouble this time; so many forces are involved. However, since we are all soldiers, I won’t say much. Everything is for prosperity and harmony. The higher-ups demand that we protect HK’s peace at all costs.”
“For the stability of our homeland and for a harmonious and steadily developing nation, we must give it our all!”
“Understood!”
"This group of bastards is really too arrogant. This time, I will definitely crush them into a color like ashes!"
...
Looking at the entire room that had completely vanished, replaced by a pitch-black starry sky, a crackling sound like electricity echoed. With a zapping noise, a large projection screen appeared, centered around the crowd with a radius of three to five meters, accompanied by many voices and images flashing continuously.
"…"
Just as everyone was filled with shock and anger, the situation in all the images suddenly changed again.
Many unidentified Humanoid Beings clad in Bronze Armor appeared in an instant. Then, without warning, they threw something out. After those strange smoke-like things exploded, the group that had just been discussing how to deal with them all fell to the ground, unconscious.
What the hell is going on here?
Are those guys dressed like characters from the Animated Series Saint Seiya even Earthlings?
Could this smiling Boss before us be one of them too?
The series of changes left everyone’s minds in a complete muddle.
