251: Song Zhong’s development game!

Ring, ring...

A rapid phone ring echoed through Baili Jing's office.

Baili Jing answered the phone, and Uncle Chen's voice came from the other end.

"What? Baili Manor is going to be sealed off? Even I can't enter?" Baili Jing demanded.

"Yes," Uncle Chen said coldly, "This is an order issued personally by the Master."

"Just because you say so? I want to see my father." A hint of anger crept into Baili Jing's tone.

"Young Master Jing, don't be anxious. Once the Master is finished with his work here, you will naturally see him."

After saying this, Uncle Chen hung up the phone directly.

"You..."

Veins bulged on Baili Jing's forehead, but the only response was the "beep-beep" of the busy signal.

With a slap.

Baili Jing threw the phone onto the floor.

"He actually dared to hang up on me. He actually dared to hang up on me.

He's nothing but an old dog by the old man's side, what right does he have to be so arrogant?"

Suddenly, the light in the office distorted, and a figure slowly emerged from the shadows.

"Young Master Jing, what has caused you to fly into such a rage?"

An aged figure appeared in the office; the person who arrived was none other than Song Zhong.

Seeing Song Zhong arrive, Baili Jing hurriedly stood up and said with a smile, "What wind blew you here, Old Mister?"

"I have always been here," Song Zhong said calmly. "I heard that Bai Li Xin has sealed off the manor?"

"Heh heh, I've made you laugh, Old Mister."

As the heir to the Baili Family, being unable to even enter the manor's gates was truly embarrassing.

"Not at all, not at all. I, on the contrary, think that at this moment, the sealing of Baili Manor is just right."

Baili Jing's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Song Zhong's meaning.

"Old Mister, do you mean... the Forbidden Object Collection Hall?"

"That's right. Since Bai Li Xin has sealed the manor, no matter how much commotion happens here at the Forbidden Object Collection Hall, he won't know about it.

Young Master Jing, don't you want to experience the power of the forbidden?" Song Zhong said.

Baili Jing's eyes flickered. Although he did not have the authority to participate in the Forbidden Object research and development projects, he did have the access rights to enter the Forbidden Object Collection Hall.

"Old Mister, please follow me."

Baili Jing was already somewhat impatient; he led Song Zhong to a dedicated elevator.

After dual verification of password and fingerprint, the two entered the elevator.

The elevator started, and Baili Jing introduced the situation of the collection hall to Song Zhong.

"The 101st floor of the Baili Group building is the Forbidden Object Collection Hall.

It houses a total of 383 Forbidden Objects, 38 of which are of the high-danger sequence."

"As expected of the Baili Family. However, no matter how many are collected, they are all within your grasp, Young Master Jing," Song Zhong said.

"It's a pity," Baili Jing said, watching the elevator ascend, "Those 12 super-high-danger sequence Forbidden Objects have been kept separately by Bai Li Xin.

If only I could absorb those 12 Forbidden Objects."

"That's not all," Song Zhong reminded him, "Bai Li Xin also has a batch of undisclosed Forbidden Objects in his hands; those are the results of his secret research.

For example, the 'Life Gear'."

Upon hearing the four words 'Life Gear', the greed in Baili Jing's eyes intensified.

He knew that this item was the core Forbidden Object for Bai Li Xin to achieve eternal life.

If he could use the 'Serpent Devouring Elephant' ability to absorb it, wouldn't he then possess the power of eternal life?

Wealth that could rival a nation, an eternal lifespan—now, these two greatest temptations in the world were within his reach.

The 101st floor arrived.

The elevator doors opened automatically, and Baili Jing and Song Zhong walked to the end of the floor.

Baili Jing walked forward, and after iris verification, the room door opened.

Inside, glass display cases were lined up, with all sorts of Forbidden Objects placed within them.

Song Zhong said with a smile, "Young Master Jing, let us begin!"

Baili Jing swept a glance over these Forbidden Objects, unable to contain his joy, "Let me start with this 'Poison Hand'!"

'Poison Hand', Forbidden Territory Sequence 198; its effect is that as long as one touches the opponent, one can make the opponent poisoned, and the degree of poisoning can be controlled by the user.

Baili Jing channeled his Mental Energy and activated 'Serpent Devouring Elephant'. After the careful training by Song Zhong over the past few days, Baili Jing's Realm had already reached the Peak of the Sea Realm.

He reached out his hand and grabbed the 'Poison Hand'. A trace of red halo could be seen enveloping the Forbidden Object.

The surface of the 'Poison Hand' was immediately corroded by the halo, creating one pit after another, looking just like an old, worm-eaten tree, dilapidated and ruinous.

As the 'Poison Hand' was gradually corroded, a stream of black-green energy was absorbed into Baili Jing's body.

"I can feel it, I can feel it! Old Mister, it really works."

Song Zhong watched the excited Baili Jing and said with a smile, "Young Master Jing, let your desires become even more intense!"

...

Inside Baili Manor, ever since Bai Li Xin issued the order to seal it off, the internal security System had become exceptionally busy.

"You must keep a close watch these few days. If any problems arise, I will hold you accountable," a man in black shouted.

The security personnel below all had serious expressions and looked nervous.

"Alright, go to your respective positions. You must be on high alert these few days."

Those security personnel immediately dispersed and entered their various security posts.

The night was deep, but not a single security guard dared to be negligent, keeping a close eye on any movement in the manor.

Slap!

A security guard lifted his foot and stomped, crushing a cockroach.

"Geez, the cockroaches in the south are really rampant!" that security guard muttered to himself.

Not long after, another cockroach passed in front of him, and the security guard frowned.

"Strange, why are there so many cockroaches in the manor today?

What are those guys in logistics doing?"

Meanwhile, Lin Qi Ye, An Qingyu, and the others were on their way back to Guangzhou-Shenzhen.

They had indeed boarded the high-speed train to Cangnan, but after just one stop, they got off early.

"Qi Yu, did you discover any problems?" Lin Qi Ye asked.

"Baili Manor has been sealed off, and the security is tight. It seems something has happened," An Qingyu said.

"Is there a way to let the 'Fish Seed' find Bai Li Xin's location?" Lin Qi Ye asked.

"Let me try."

An Qingyu began to remotely control a large group of 'Fish Seed' cockroaches, letting them move freely within Baili Manor.

Very quickly, An Qingyu discovered something wrong.

In an area in the southeast corner of the manor, whenever the 'Fish Seed' cockroaches approached, they would die inexplicably.

But this didn't happen in other places.

It was as if an invisible giant hand was guarding the vicinity of that area; once it discovered intruders, it would crush them.

"I think I roughly know which area Bai Li Xin is in," An Qingyu said, "but relying solely on my 'Fish Seed', there's no way to continue infiltrating."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qi Ye immediately had an idea, "It looks like it's time to contact Zhuai Ge."
