6: Chapter 6: Casually rolling out a lump of coal, calling it a single-soldier nuclear weapon?

"Ugh..." Jiang Chen couldn't help but retch.

Swallow it whole? This thing was bigger than his head!

"What's wrong? Does my husband not like it?"

Ji Linglong's eyes darkened, and the surrounding air seemed to solidify again. "This is a good thing. In our Taichu Realm, there are many Holy Sons who want it, but I can't be bothered to give it to them."

"I... I like it! It's just too big, I can't swallow it!" Jiang Chen cried out for help, his voice trembling.

At this moment, Xiao Zhang, who had been in the monitoring room trying to intervene technically, shouted into the walkie-talkie, sweating profusely: "Director! It's not working! The signal won't connect! We've tried all mirroring methods, but as soon as we connect, the equipment burns out!"

Lei Keming pressed his headset and roared in a low voice: "Didn't I tell you to just record the screen? Use an external camera!"

"We can't!" Xiao Zhang's voice sounded on the verge of a breakdown.

"As long as the lens is aimed at the phone screen, all that's recorded is static! It's as if some kind of magnetic field is interfering with optical imaging! That phone... that phone is now a black hole! Only the naked eye can see the image; what we see on the monitor is just a ball of white light!"

Lei Keming was shocked. Exclusivity. Absolute exclusivity.

This "system" was not only bound to Jiang Chen's life but even bound to his senses.

Even with the most cutting-edge technology, the state apparatus didn't even have the qualification to be a spectator.

At this moment, Lei Keming deeply felt a sense of powerlessness.

Their satellites, supercomputers, and monitoring networks, which they were so proud of, had all become scrap metal at this moment.

All hope, all strategic games, had to be placed on this twenty-two-year-old college student who was scared pale.

"Jiang Chen!" Lei Keming wrote a line of large characters on a piece of paper and held it up for Jiang Chen to see: [Calm her down! Don't take the dragon gallbladder! Ask for equipment! Something for self-defense!]

Jiang Chen took one look at the note and understood immediately.

"Linglong..." Jiang Chen took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the churning in his stomach.

"This dragon gallbladder is too nourishing. I'm afraid that if I'm too weak to handle such nourishment, I'll just explode and die. You know, I'm just a mortal right now."

"That is true." Ji Linglong thought for a moment, then casually threw the priceless dragon gallbladder behind her. It hit the ground with a "plop," as if she had thrown away a rotten watermelon.

"A mortal's meridians are indeed fragile and cannot withstand this demonic power."

Li Zhenbang and Chen Shuhua watched the dragon gallbladder lying on the ground, their hearts aching so much they could barely breathe.

That was a dragon gallbladder! If only they could use it to extract serum...

"Then what should I give you?" Ji Linglong frowned in distress and rummaged through her person for a long time.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up. "I've got it."

She pulled out a pitch-black, inconspicuous stone from her wide sleeve.

This stone looked like a coal ball, with a few crooked red patterns carved onto it.

"This is a heavenly thunder talisman I made for practice when I was little, and I've kept it as a souvenir."

Ji Linglong tossed the stone in her hand.

"The power isn't that great; it's just sealed with a Nine Heavens Divine Thunder. If you encounter anyone blind enough to bully you, just crush this stone. It should be able to blast cultivators below the Nascent Soul Stage directly into slag. As for mortals..."

She smiled nonchalantly. "It can probably flatten a city."

Flatten a city. Once these four words were spoken, the sound of breathing in the interrogation room stopped.

Lei Keming stared fixedly at that "coal ball." A man-portable nuclear weapon. This was definitely a man-portable nuclear weapon!

And a nuclear weapon that could be carried around, one that couldn't even be detected by security checks because of its small size!

"This is good! This is good!" Jiang Chen nodded quickly. Although this thing was dangerous, at least he didn't have to eat it raw.

"Then I'll give it to you." Ji Linglong said it lightly, as if she were sending a WeChat red packet.

The next second. A sudden change occurred.

There was no "tracking number," nor was there any "estimated delivery."

The screen of the phone in Jiang Chen's hand suddenly rippled like water.

Immediately after, a suffocating spatial fluctuation spread wildly in all directions, with the phone as the center.

"Sizzle, sizzle — bang! Bang! Bang!" This time it wasn't as simple as a tripped breaker.

All the backup light sources in the interrogation room, the electronic camouflage equipment that had just been moved in, and even the mechanical watch on Lei Keming's wrist all exploded in an instant.

The entire fourth underground level plunged into absolute darkness, with only the faint light from the phone screen remaining.

"Everyone get down!" Lei Keming roared, grabbing Academician Li beside him and tackling him under the table.

A sense of oppression, as if from the ancient primordial era, squeezed its way through that small screen into this materialistic world.

It felt like you were trying to stuff an elephant into a refrigerator, and the door frame of the refrigerator was groaning under the unbearable burden.

"Hum —" The sound of air being torn apart.

In Jiang Chen's terrified gaze, a fair, slender, and flawlessly beautiful hand actually reached out from the phone screen!

That was no 3D projection. That was a physical entity!

That hand even carried the unique, cold fragrance of the Taichu Realm, with the black heavenly thunder talisman held between its fingertips.

"My husband, catch." The hand gently released its grip.

"Clang!" That seemingly inconspicuous "coal ball" slammed heavily onto the table in front of Jiang Chen.

That specially made alloy interrogation table, which was claimed to be able to support a ton of weight, was pierced directly through the moment the stone landed.

The stone fell to the ground with a dull, loud thud, and the entire floor trembled along with it.

"Alright." On the other side of the screen, Ji Linglong clapped her hands, and the hand that had reached out retracted.

"The item has been delivered, and I should go cultivate now. I used a bit of true energy to kill this dragon just now, so I need to go back and replenish it."

Ji Linglong yawned, looking lazy and charming; one couldn't tell at all that she had just been a god of slaughter.

"My husband, remember to miss me. By the way, if you finish using this stone, remember to tell me, and I'll go roll a few more for you."

After speaking, the screen flashed. The video call ended.

The dark interrogation room returned to dead silence. Only the sound of rapid panting echoed in the air.

The lights on the fourth underground level were completely dead. It wasn't a tripped breaker; they had been "eaten."

The black stone that had fallen out of the phone screen was now lying quietly in the dent in the alloy floor.

It was like a greedy black hole; any light within three meters that came near it would be silently devoured by the strange red patterns on its surface.

In the darkness, only those few patterns flickered with a heart-palpitating red light, as if magma were flowing inside the stone.
