Chapter 349: Chapter 310 The Sealed Disaster Emblem

When Wu Xiaode returned to the bar, the bartender had already been replaced by Xiao Baihong.

"Where’s Christina?"

he asked.

"She promised to bring me the Demon in return, and in exchange, I’m tending the bar."

Xiao Baihong casually mixed a drink for Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode took a sip, couldn’t help but pick up the glass, and took another sip.

"How is it? Much better than what she makes, right?" Xiao Baihong asked with a smile.

Wu Xiaode looked around.

Christina hadn’t come back yet.

"Yeah, it’s fantastic, this is what I call a real drink," he quietly said, giving a thumbs up.

"Alright, I’ll take care of mixing drinks in this bar from now on—have you finished your business?" Xiao Baihong asked.

"Not yet," Wu Xiaode sighed.

Originally, when the Destruction Council sought him out, he thought he was in for a big fight.

Who knew that those people would start fighting among themselves later.

— They sent several more powerful individuals to test the puppet’s power.

But it was completely ineffective.

They couldn’t even get past the heavenly law.

The divines were struck dead by thunder as punishment from the heavenly law, with no chance whatsoever.

However, one powerful individual managed to draw a puppet from the Lower Realm in pursuit.

— But before the puppet, he didn’t even have the power to fight back.

What the hell is the point of this!

The people couldn’t agree and after a quarrel, they let Wu Xiaode leave first.

Of course, he was not short of the promised reward.

"Elder Xiao, something just occurred to me," Wu Xiaode said.

"What’s that?" Xiao Baihong asked.

"Do you remember when we traveled to the parallel world at midnight?"

"Which incident are you referring to?"

"In the underground tunnels of the parallel world, you could easily find the most valuable thing in the room," Wu Xiaode said.

— Back then, it was Xiao Baihong who unearthed those hidden clues, leading everyone to discover the existence of the Lizard Man.

"Finding things is too easy," Xiao Baihong said, wiping a glass gently with a white cloth, "it’s my talent, what about it?"

"There’s an extremely secretive organization in this world, and their goal is Destruction..."

Wu Xiaode recounted the situation and then slapped a small metal key on the bar.

"Is this your reward?" Xiao Baihong asked curiously.

"Yes, with this key, I can enter a door and take anything as a reward," Wu Xiaode said.

"I get it," Xiao Baihong snapped his fingers, "you want me to help you pick something, right?"

"Exactly," Wu Xiaode said.

Xiao Baihong took the key and asked, "How does this thing work?"

"Make an opening gesture towards the Void," Wu Xiaode said.

Xiao Baihong did as instructed.

Sure enough, he twisted the small metal key lightly towards the Void.

A door opened indeed.

Inside the door was a mountain of treasure and miscellaneous items, some ancient books, weapons, plants, and even a large ship lying on a floor of gold.

"Interesting," Xiao Baihong said as he rolled up his sleeves, "let’s see if I can find you a good item."

He stepped through the door.

Wu Xiaode felt a sense of anticipation, sitting quietly in front of the bar waiting.

Suddenly.

The sound of a flying vehicle landing came from outside.

Wu Xiaode frowned.

The quiet Demon Mist instantly shrouded the door behind the bar.

"Rester, come out and do my makeup."

"Yes, master."

The Evil Ghost king quietly emerged in the mist beside Wu Xiaode.

After a few breaths.

The bar’s main door was pushed open.

Several humanoid robots streamed in, scanning the bar staff as they made their way toward Wu Xiaode.

The leader was a silver metallic robot about 1.9 meters tall, holding a heavy machine gun, its eyes emitting a faint glow, scanning Wu Xiaode from head to toe.

"Identification."

The silver robot spoke coldly.

Wu Xiaode didn’t say much, simply taking out the identity documents the Hyena Gang had made for him and spread them open on the bar counter.

The robot glanced and buzzed, "Wusi Country legal identification, verification passed."

The gun in its hands quickly folded up, like building blocks, and became a small cube that fitted onto its arm.

— It was clearly a Dongsheng Country robot.

It is known that legal documents from Wusi Country can be bought with money, and all major gangs have such arrangements interfacing with the government.

Yet the robot seemed to trust the identification documents.

"Have you seen this person?"

The robot projected an image on the wall.

It was Wu Xiaode himself.

"This guy looks pretty good, but sorry, haven’t seen him," Wu Xiaode said.

"If you see him, notify us immediately, here is the phone number; there’s a reward."

The robot wrote down a series of numbers on the bar and gestured towards the stairs at the back of the bar.

Two smaller robots then picked up their guns and headed towards the stairs.

Wu Xiaode said, "Didn’t you just check the documents? It seems you don’t have the authority to search my place, do you?"

"This is a joint anti-terrorist operation between Dongsheng Country and Wusi Country, and we are authorized to search all suspicious individuals," the silver robot said coldly.

Wu Xiaode glanced at the two robots on the stairs.

Shen Feixue was resting upstairs.

She was carrying The Queen Mother of the West, the one who definitely couldn’t afford to have any mishaps.

If she used the Demon Mist—

Before he could think further, a sound suddenly came from the door on the stairs.

Someone was opening it.

There was only Shen Feixue upstairs, so the person opening the door had to be her.

She was the one Dongsheng Country was truly after!

"Rester, take her and hide,"

Wu Xiaode murmured, and in a sudden blur, he was standing in front of the second-floor door.

The door couldn’t be opened at once.

But the bar’s main door was violently pushed open by a gust of wind.

The gust of wind blew out, made a turn in mid-air, flew into the second floor, and silently appeared next to Shen Feixue.

"Be careful, the outside is searching; please come with me,"

it whispered.

By this time, Shen Feixue had already heard Wu Xiaode’s voice.

"Okay,"

she immediately agreed.

Meanwhile.

Upstairs, both robots raised their weapons.

"You cannot trespass in private homes—unless you show me your IDs!"

Wu Xiaode shouted loudly.

The two robots hesitated for a moment.

One of the robots said, "Citizens requesting ID for the search is in compliance with the anti-terrorist procedures and the law."

The other robot’s eyes emitted a beam of light, projecting a QR code on the wall.

"The ID has been generated; please scan the code to view it,"

the robot said coldly.

Wu Xiaode then took out his cell phone and scanned the QR code.

—After several incidents, he had come to understand that these robots placed great emphasis on procedural justice; everything had to follow protocol, so there was some leeway.

"Beep!"

The phone screen did show a long electronic file with a string of signatures from the Wusi Country’s officials at the bottom.

"Well, you are authorized to search; feel free," Wu Xiaode stepped aside.

He jumped straight from the stairs and settled back into his seat.

"Your physical fitness is not bad,"

the silver robot commented.

"Of course, you think we just run a normal business at the border?" Wu Xiaode said.

The silver robot fell silent for a while.

Wu Xiaode guessed it was probably looking up relevant statistical data.

It wasn’t until those two small robots came down from upstairs that it finally spoke:

"Your way of life is wrong."

"Why?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"It’s too disorderly, which will lead to destruction," the silver robot said earnestly.

Wu Xiaode didn’t respond.

—He wasn’t about to argue with a robot.

Seeing him silent, the silver robot turned with its subordinates and walked out of the bar without looking back.

Wu Xiaode exhaled softly.

It seemed they had been fooled.

The next instant.

Swish—

A figure emerged from the invisible fog behind the bar counter, leaped lightly onto the ceiling, and hung upside down, laughing loudly at Wu Xiaode:

"Look what I’ve found for you!"

He tossed that thing to Wu Xiaode with a flick of his hand.

It came so quickly that Wu Xiaode had to catch it first.

—Indeed, by this moment, it was all too late.

Wu Xiaode sighed, "Elder Xiao, you’ve made quite the scene."

"Because I found something good."

Xiao Baihong tilted her chin up, crossed her arms, and wore an expression that said, "Quick, praise me."

Wu Xiaode looked at the ancient bronze emblem in his hand.

The Book of the Dead was already open, revealing rows of ice crystal small characters:

"You have obtained the ’Sealed Disaster Emblem’."

"Description: The world falls into ruin, yet you can enjoy the ’benefits’ that come with Destruction."

"—This is the councilor’s emblem of the Destruction Council. According to the rules of the Destruction Council, as long as you find it, you’re a reserve councilor."

Something good.

This was indeed something good, not only bringing "benefits," but also power.

But—

Bang!

The bar’s door was pushed open.

The silver robot stood at the entrance, eyes locked on Xiao Baihong, and said coldly:

"New target located."

"Please present your ID, or we will arrest you immediately."
