Chapter 840: The Interstellar Calendar (18)
Ai Nuo was beaten and she got searched too. They even searched her s.p.a.ce.
She seriously didn’t take anything.
There was an underground palace there, but it was empty.
However, according to what the sloppy man said, something was inside before.
“Maybe someone took it away and the energy lingered there,” the sloppy man concluded.
This was the only explanation.
“Let me go!” Ai Nuo and Lu Jia were tied and thrown on the floor. “This is Hua Xia Starzone, you are breaking the law by coming here on your own!”
Ai Nuo threatened them.
“I’m so scared.” Ming Shu took a step back exaggeratedly. “Since you will tell on me if I let you go, why should I release you. You will stay here with Mister Lu Jia and look at the stars together.”
She sounded as though she was playing with them.
“Xi Yang!”
“Yes.”
Ai Nuo choked. She didn’t expect Ming Shu to reply to her so blatantly. When she regained her senses, she had already forgotten what she wanted to say.
Ming Shu gathered her men and walked away slowly. She left the two people in the forest.
–
When Ming Shu returned to her battleship, she received a message from the Hai Rui guy asking her about her progress.
Ming Shu told him that there was no progress. He didn’t probe further.
They seemed fixated on finding the immortal stone, but their att.i.tude didn’t seem eager.
It was as if they knew that the thing would not be found so easily.
“Zone Leader, what is this?”
Ming Shu put away her phone and looked at Little Zhu. He was holding the syringe that Shan Yin picked up just now.
“Go and find out the composition inside.”
“I am not good with that,” Little Zhu said immediately. “Shi Xing, you can do it.”
The sloppy man didn’t say anything. He took the syringe and went into the laboratory.
The results came out quickly. Shi Xing had a complicated expression on his face. He looked curious and excited.
“Why are you looking like this? What happened?” Little Zhu asked.
Shi Xing replied after a while, “This is the psychological inhibitor.”
“The psychological inhibitor?” Curly Hair came over and placed his head on Little Zhu’s shoulder. “Who would use this? Are they looking for death?”
Little Zhu shook his shoulder but he didn’t manage to shake the person off. Curly Hair leaned even closer to him.
Little Zhu was slightly unhappy. “Don’t you have bones?”
Curly Hair gave him an irritating smile. “No.”
Ming Shu sat at the side and moved her fingers across the screen. Her gaze was unfocused.
Psychological inhibitor…
When he was picked up, his psychological power was in a weird state.
Normal people would not use this thing unless they needed to suppress their psychological inhibitor. However, such suppressions would cause much harm to the body.
Why does that little demon need to suppress his psychological power?
“This inhibitor has a higher dosage,” Shi Xing said again. “Normal people will be seriously injured if they use this.”
Curly Hair said, “Is this used to kill someone?”
“Kill someone?” Shi Xing hugged his fake cat. “Some starzones used this to torture their enemies to gain information. People who got injected would be tormented by their psychological power, it’s extremely painful.”
Death would be much better.
“I remember that the psychological inhibitor is an illegal drug according to interstellar law.” Little Zhu looked at Ming Shu. “Zone Leader, why do you have this?”
Ming Shu combed her hair indifferently. “I picked it up.”
“…” Who will believe that you picked this from a desolate star!
No one dared to ask where Ming Shu picked it up from.
They exchanged glances with each other and changed the topic.
Ming Shu liked people who understood situations and had manners. Hence, she let them do what they wanted.
Three days later, Ming Shu received a message from the Hai Rui guy again.
The Hai Rui guy shared a piece of news this time. He said that the immortal stone might appear at an underground auction that was going to happen at Hua Xia Starzone.
The auction was one month from now.
They needed to enter Hua Xia Starzone and partic.i.p.ate in the auction.
The Hai Rui guy couldn’t sneak in so he had no choice but to look for Ming Shu.
Ming Shu asked Shan Yin to research the auction. The organizer of the auction was an underground organization in Hua Xia Starzone.
They were not as strong as Unlucky Starzone but they were one of the top underground organizations in Hua Xia Starzone.
“Zone Leader, are you going?” Shan Yin asked Ming Shu for her opinion.
“Yes. It looks fun.” Ming Shu smiled.
Shan Yin knew that the zone leader wanted to go because the Ji family was there. She was looking for Ji Nian.
Just as he was thinking about it, his zone leader asked, “How is Ji Nian?”
“He is safely back home.”
Ming Shu nodded her head. She changed the topic suddenly. “Let’s go down and get some food to eat along the way.”
“…”
“Shan Yin, if we want to fight for this star, what is the probability that we will win?”
Shan Yin a.n.a.lyzed for her seriously. “According to Hua Xia Starzone’s law, this star is a highly protected cultural relic. Hua Xia Starzone got stronger as they fought so putting all factors into consideration, the success rate is 46%. The failure rate is 54%.”
Ming Shu was slightly disappointed.
Shan Yin thought that Ming Shu had given up and heaved a sigh of relief. However, Ming Shu said, “Does that mean that we can only sneak in in the future to hunt?”
“…” Zone Leader, please do not say “we.” They are not interested in coming to hunt here.
Curly Hair and the rest expressed their interest to go to the underground auction after they heard that Ming Shu was going.
As the important figures of Technology City, by right, they could not go out just like this.
However, they still went to the Mist Star where the auction was held.
The Mist Star was near the main star of Hua Xia Starzone. It was called Mist Star because it appeared to be enveloped by a mist if you looked at the star from the universe.
The Mist Star was slightly further away and they needed one month to get there. Ming Shu was not in a hurry, either, so the journey took a while.
In the s.p.a.cious resting chamber, a few people gathered on the floor and played a game.
Little Zhu glared at Curly Hair. “You’re tricking us again.”
Curly Hair lifted his chin arrogantly. “Everyone is watching. When did I trick you? You’re the one that’s stupid.”
“You’re playing a trick. I saw you exchanging your card with Shi Xing.”
Curly Hair raised his eyebrows. “Do you have evidence?”
“You…” Little Zhu exploded. “Zone Leader, did you see it?”
Ming Shu looked up in a daze with a nutrient stick in her mouth.
Little Zhu: “…”
“Just accept your fate. Come, let me draw a mustache for you.” Curly Hair pounced on Little Zhu with a pen and drew two lines above his mouth corners.
Curly Hair admired it for a while, satisfied. “Not bad, not bad.”
Little Zhu struggled to get up and looked at the mirror behind him. He immediately shouted in despair, “Ahhhhh, this can’t be washed off. You’re dead!”
Little Zhu rushed into the washroom. He didn’t manage to wash it off.
Curly Hair leaned against the door and smiled at him. “It’ll disappear in two days. It won’t last forever. Do you have to look so sad?”
“You don’t feel anything because it’s not on your face!” How could he appear in front of other people like this!
“Hahaha, you.” Curly Hair suddenly rushed inside and pressed Little Zhu against the basin.
