Chapter 272: Chapter 260: The Secret Vault of the Hidden Door, The Mysterious Pot, You Deserve It! Sinister Black Qi! (2/3)

Zheng Bo walked to the farthest corner of the warehouse and pushed hard against the wall, which immediately opened up.

There was actually a hidden door here.

He turned his head and looked at Chu Feng with a smiling face, "You are a honored guest of Commander Lin with high clearance, so I feel at ease to reveal the bottom line to you.

"Everything hidden here is something the big shots at the logistics manufacturing department can’t understand; if you want to find a loophole, this is the only place to try.

"Wanna give it a shot?"

Chu Feng’s eyes lit up, "Sure!"

He rubbed his hands together with an unyielding spirit and immediately rushed in.

I don’t believe it, even if the King of Heaven himself came today, he couldn’t stop me from getting the advantage!

...

After entering, the motion-sensing lights on the ceiling turned on, illuminating the small room.

But the light was not bright, leaving most parts of the room hidden in shadow and hard to see clearly.

The room was also filled with many storage racks, and Chu Feng swept his eyes over them, noticing that the items on the racks were even more bizarre in shape than those outside.

Zheng Bo leaned inside the door, his smile receding as he cautioned, "The origins of these items are very mysterious, beyond our current ability to analyze, and some are accompanied by great danger, so you must be very careful."

He pointed to a peculiarly shaped pot-like item on the right-hand shelf:

"For example, this pot-like thing was seized from an altar in the center of a Demon Clan village after our army warriors broke through the Demon Clan defense lines and slaughtered a village.

"This pot doesn’t look remarkable, it’s just made of some sturdy material and seems unexceptional. The masters at the logistics manufacturing department also didn’t find any special function for it.

"But in reality, it’s extremely bizarre."

He lowered his head slightly, half his face hidden in the shadow cast by the overhead light, his expression not clear.

His voice echoed hauntingly, "After coming into contact with this thing, the warriors began to have nightmares.

"One by one, they fell into delirium.

"At night, they would let out piercing howls in their sleep as if they were subjected to the most cruel torture, scaring their comrades in the same room witless.

"But when they were woken up, they would be pale with twisted, terrifying expressions on their faces, laughing and saying they didn’t shout at all, that they slept just fine...

"When they looked at you, you could feel that they weren’t looking at you...

"But at some unspeakable thing that seemed to exist behind you.

"They were afraid, they began to despair, they gradually succumbed, and in the end... went mad."

"..."

"Gulp!"

Chu Feng forcefully swallowed, unconsciously stepping back two steps.

Looking at Zheng Bo in front of him and hearing his haunting words, he felt the hair on the back of his neck stand up.

The tone of Zheng Bo’s speech and his current state gave Chu Feng a very... creepy feeling.

It’s as if he was one of the delirious warriors he mentioned...

Damn, this guy, he hasn’t touched this thing too, has he?

Could he be one that slipped through the cracks, and upon seeing this thing, suddenly had an episode?

Chu Feng mustered his courage, silently lifted his feet, and slowly approached Zheng Bo, whispering, "So what did they... see?"

Zheng Bo seemed not to notice Chu Feng’s approach, and murmured, "What did they see?

"Maybe it’s..."

Suddenly!

He lifted his head with a strange smile and looked into Chu Feng’s eyes!

In that instant, chill ran up Chu Feng’s spine, from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head!

Feeling threatened, he instinctively threw a punch!

"How would I know hahaha... ow——!! Ouch!"

"Bang!"

Just as Zheng Bo’s mouth curved into a grin, Chu Feng’s fist slammed into his eye socket like lightning!

Chu Feng: "..."

Motherfucker, are you sick?!

...

Those spying on them: "..."

"Hahahaha——"

Suddenly, loud laughter erupted from the surveillance room!

These shameless guys were laughing so hard at the sight of Zheng Bo getting punched that their stomachs hurt!

...

Zheng Bo slumped against the wall, sitting on the ground and howling with his eye covered: "Dude, that was way too harsh! You almost smashed my eyeball!"

Chu Feng’s punch had dazed him, and he had never expected Chu Feng to be so strong and hit so ruthlessly!

He was almost knocked out cold by that punch!

Even though we’re both in the Everlasting Realm, why are you so outstanding?

Chu Feng rolled his eyes and couldn’t be bothered to glance at him as he continued to survey the room’s furnishings: "Bro, I’m just gonna say it, you had it coming!

"You thought I was an easy target because I’m young, right? Trying to scare me?

"Let me tell you, it’s only because you’re lucky that I can’t use my True Force here.

"If we were outside, and you caught me off guard, it wouldn’t just be your eyeball, I’d knock your head crooked!"

Zheng Bo rubbed his eye for a while before he could finally open it.

He got up with the help of the framework, giving a wry smile: "I was just joking, who knew you’d slam a punch at me so suddenly, I couldn’t even react."

Chu Feng glanced at his panda eye, the anger in his heart already dissipating, his mouth twitched, almost laughing out loud on the spot.

No, no, that would be too lacking in class!

Chu Feng coughed forcefully a few times, his expression turning serious as he pointed at the odd pot and asked, "What’s the actual deal with this pot?"

What Zheng Bo said seemed to have an effect; now looking at the pot made him feel a bit uneasy and reluctant to touch it directly.

Zheng Bo rubbed his eyes, saying irritably: "If you want to laugh, just laugh, don’t hold it in, it’s bad for your health!"

He rolled his eyes, calming his emotions and then looked at the pot with a serious expression again, "I didn’t lie to you about this, nor did I exaggerate; this pot is indeed dangerous.

"The warriors who came into contact with it later suffered major mental issues and ended up in psychiatric hospitals, taking a long time to improve.

"They would shake their heads when asked, saying only that this thing is unlucky.

"The craftsmen from the production department studied it for a long time, but couldn’t figure out why it could affect the mind and dreams, and eventually, they were impacted as well.

"So, they simply tossed it here, waiting for technology to advance before coming back to study and crack it."

Chu Feng nodded in understanding and asked again, "Touching it just a little won’t have any effect, right?"

Zheng Bo hesitated: "That... I can’t say for sure! Basically, everyone who touched it went crazy; this thing is too bizarre.

"Back when a few of us brought it here, we didn’t dare to touch it, using layers of material to wrap it before placing it on this stand."

Chu Feng nodded silently, still deciding to give it a try and appraise it.

A little touch with a fingertip shouldn’t be so unlucky, right?

He slowly extended his fingertip, poking at the twisted, strange pot.

The moment his fingertip touched the pot, he was startled, as he seemed to see a faint trace of black gas connecting to his finger!

His expression changed slightly, and he instantly withdrew his finger, the black gas breaking apart.

But with keen eyes, he immediately noticed a wisp of black gas still clinging to his finger, then abruptly disappearing.

A sinking feeling in his heart, Chu Feng wondered, what the hell is this?

The next second, his attention was drawn to a prompt that lit up in his vision.
