Chapter 253 -250 Item Number 003

The next moment, the Awakener about to go mad was knocked out with a hand chop.

Shay pointed at the black smoke dispersing over the villa ruins.

There,

even though the first and second floors of the villa were blown into ashes, the ground floor was covered with a layer of ink-black gauze, and the ground floor, including the basement, remained intact.

“I was saying it wasn’t that simple. Even if we could break through that thin veil, the enemy hasn’t shown up yet. In this cursed environment, we’d also have to divide our attention to resist mentally. If we were to fight the enemy under these circumstances, the situation would be quite dire.”

Shay fired several more shells, stirring up clouds of dust. However, the gauze layer remained.

Several ability users from Ancestor Dragon struggled to maintain safety using their Source Qi; upon hearing Shay’s words, they all twitched.

Shay was still able to effortlessly fire Source Power-infused shells without showing signs of mental strain.

Including others from the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, except for the muscular man with brown short hair, everyone else appeared relaxed, almost to the point of sitting down to drink tea!

…

…

Before long, Security Bureau and Ancestor Dragon’s expert team had withdrawn from the curse range.

Including Tang Yu’s group of six sightseers, only about twenty people—awakeners—had managed to retreat from the cursed area.

And the other Awakeners, who had been cursed, their eyes red, no longer attacked madly in the absence of normal people. They did not rush out of the cursed area but wandered aimlessly within it.

Minutes later, the northern part of Lanxing Community had already been surrounded by Awakeners from Ancestor Dragon and the City Defense Army.

These Awakeners, worried about the curse spreading further, stayed far away, fully armed and wearing protective gear like gas masks etc., even though many knew this provided only psychological comfort.

Many community residents were evacuated, among them not a few naked men and women wrapped in blankets, faces full of anger, yet under the stern expressions of Luoxia official Awakeners, they reluctantly continued to leave wrapped in blankets.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.

This group of people was not in the minority among the evacuated residents.

Shay glanced over and said with experience, “Awakeners still in their houses during the day are either planning to get up to mischief or are actually getting up to mischief.”

Tang Yu wanted to retort, couldn’t they just be reading novels, playing games, sleeping, or at worst, watching adult movies? Why partake in strenuous activities in such hot weather?

But he kept quiet since he was, after all, so pure.

…

Tang Yu’s six-person sightseeing group wasn’t disbanded; instead, they were now elevated to a six-person advisory team.

Director Jin had upped the price, specifically asking them to stay.

At that time, Director Jin along with the City Defense Army and Ancestor Dragon’s commander approached.

Facing the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, which repeatedly raised his internal estimate, Director Jin spoke with a touch of respect:

“Hall Master Tang, does that mean the area is encompassed in a curse, and even the attacks from ability users have minimal impact on that cursed area, unless they possess special abilities with ‘Purification’ or ‘Clearing’ powers?”

“Purifying the curse is the most direct and effective solution,” Tang Yu said smilingly, “In fact, Director Jin, you have another option, like paying us. How can you solve problems without money? Of course, our martial hall is a small business; dealing with this curse Source Power Field requires considerable costs. The hiring price…”

“Cough, cough—”

Director Jin promptly waved his hands.

He was already prepared for significant expenditure in seeking a solution, yet under Xing Ling’s cutthroat bargaining, it was still immensely painful.

Now, hearing Tang Yu’s suggestion while seeing Xing Ling not far away, cold sweat formed on his forehead.

“For this cursed area, we have our own solution, so we won’t trouble Hall Master Tang.”

…

Tang Yu watched Director Jin’s confident demeanor with some doubt.

“Do they have Awakeners with purifying power? Even so, purifying such a large area is challenging… well, if Luoxia officials can solve it, that’s good news.”

The price Luoxia officials had paid this time was indeed substantial. Converted to a specific magnitude, those hundreds of large-scale mercenary corps would need to complete three to five major tasks to earn this much.

For now, the blueprints he possessed included some minerals that were either not found in Lindong or were quite scarce; he had gotten a lot from this deal, and short-term, hmm, without new advanced blueprints available, he reckoned he wouldn’t be short of Transcendent Minerals.

What’s more crucial was that Luoxia was unlikely to offer a higher price, and some genuinely confidential information and items belonging to the Sanctuary were basically unlikely to be disclosed to him…

Tang Yu contemplated, growing more cautious of that individual or group hiding behind the scenes.

Sometimes he wondered, Luoxia officials obviously didn’t understand Source Power or runes well, yet the people behind the scenes understood more and were probably stronger.

“Could they also be system owners, like with a murder system or something? It doesn’t seem plausible; more likely, they acquired some legacy from a Secret Realm, or…”

Tang Yu’s gaze drifted to the side.

Director Jin and other senior officials were looking at a palm-sized wooden box held by a super-strong Awakener, their expressions solemn, yet vaguely filled with anticipation.

They were not far away.

Tang Yu took a few steps closer and listened intently.

“Is this item number 003? Obtained from that Secret Realm.”

“I’ve never seen any item with a number in the top three…”

“It’s said that this item has no offensive power, but just being near it can make one feel calm, and some negative states will also be dispelled. There should be no problem solving this curse…”

The conversation of Director Jin and others wasn’t highly guarded, and Tang Yu heard it clearly.

He became even more curious about that item number 003.

Soon, Director Jin and others reached the edge of the cursed area, the Awakener holding the wooden box under the watchful eyes of others, turned the switch, and opened the lid.

The box, made from special materials capable of sealing energy, unleashed a hazy golden light as the lid was opened.

A gold-colored droplet, resembling a water droplet, hung inside the box.

“I’m starting now.” The Awakener holding the box glanced around at the high-level officials and spoke solemnly.

He channeled his matching Source Power through the box into the gold-colored droplet.

Instantly, the golden light intensified.
