Chapter 331: The Treasure Light in the Forbidden Museum
The man withdrew his mischievous hand from the gift box, still with a standard professional smile on his face.
"Sorry, it was just a little joke to liven up the atmosphere. Dear guests, please follow me. The gifts the master has prepared for you are not these vulgar things."
He turned around, made a "please" gesture, and led Lin Qiye, Wu Hen, Cao Yuanhai and An Yuqing through the banquet hall.
The guests around looked as if they had seen a ghost, their eyes almost popping out.
The Baili family has always been secretive and low-key, and this time, there were very few invitations to the birthday party.
Who are these four young men and why do they receive such special treatment from the master?
The whispers buzzed like a swarm of annoying mosquitoes.
Wu Hen didn't care about these looks at all, and even cast a wink at the crowd, causing several young girls to blush and cover their mouths with their hands to giggle.
He leaned close to Lin Qiye's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Brother Ye, look, my charm has increased again. I am so attractive to both men and women!"
Lin Qiye shook his head helplessly. This guy never forgets to show off wherever he goes.
The man took them to a hidden elevator in the corner of the banquet hall, entered a complex password, and performed fingerprint and iris verification before the elevator door slowly opened.
This scene is even more exaggerated than the national treasury.
The elevator went all the way down and finally stopped at the "101" floor.
The elevator door opened, and a deep corridor appeared in front of everyone.
Every few meters on the corridor wall there is a dim wall lamp, casting strange light and shadows.
There was a faint musty smell in the air, as if no one had been there for a long time.
The man led them to the end of the corridor, where a heavy metal door blocked their way.
After another tedious verification procedure, the door made a heavy "boom" sound and slowly opened.
Behind the door is a huge space.
Neatly arranged rows of display cases held all sorts of bizarre objects: glowing daggers, puppets engraved with strange runes, and even a beating heart...
"This is the Baili family's forbidden items collection hall,"
The man's tone became serious.
"There are a total of 3,652 prohibited items in the museum, divided into five levels of danger: S, A, B, C, and D..."
He paused, his eyes sweeping over the four people, "Each of these forbidden items possesses the power to destroy heaven and earth..."
Wu Hen whistled: "Oh my god, this is simply a treasure trove! Just take out any item and you can walk away with it!"
The man ignored Wu Hen's jokes and continued, "The master said that each of you can choose a forbidden item..."
Before the man could finish speaking, Wu Hen could not wait to rush to a display cabinet.
Staring at a pink stuffed bear inside with shining eyes, he rubbed his hands and said, "I want this bear!"
The man's mouth twitched slightly, "Sir, please listen to me first..."
"The master specifically ordered that there will be other arrangements for your forbidden items..." The man held his forehead helplessly. What the hell was going on?
He coughed lightly and finally drew Wu Hen's attention back.
"Ahem, guest, please don't be anxious."
"The master said that he specially prepared special gifts for you, which are different from these forbidden items."
"He has high hopes for the Fifth Special Squad and hopes these gifts will help you go further on your path to slaying gods."
When Wu Hen heard this, he immediately became interested.
"Oh? A special gift? Better than these forbidden items? What's that good thing? Take it out and let us see it!"
The man smiled and said, "Of course, please follow me."
He walked to an inconspicuous metal door and performed a series of complicated verifications again. The metal door slowly opened, revealing an even more secretive room.
Inside the room, there were four items placed on each of the four display stands.
A long sword emitting a faint golden light, a glittering gem, an ancient and mysterious scroll, and a dagger that is completely black and exudes a strange aura.
"Wow, Brother Ye, look, this sword is so cool!" Wu Hen pointed at the golden long sword, his eyes shining, "I want this one!"
Lin Qiye was more interested in the black dagger. He always felt that the dagger exuded a familiar aura.
He walked forward and looked at the dagger carefully. The blade of the dagger was engraved with strange runes, as if it contained some kind of mysterious power.
The man walked up to Lin Qiye, pointed at the dagger and said, "Mr. Lin, this dagger is called 'Zhanbai'. The master prepared it specially for you."
"It's an S-rank forbidden item, possessing immense power..."
"Zhanbai?"
Lin Qiye murmured to himself, this name reminded him of the time in the training camp.
He once used an imitation dagger, also named "Zhanbai".
Is it...
"This dagger, and the one in the training camp..." Lin Qiye looked at the man.
The man smiled mysteriously: "Mr. Lin, you guessed right. This is the real 'Zhanbai'."
The man paused and lowered his voice, "Actually..."
