Chapter 1291: Chapter 572: The Opportunity to Steal Home_3
Generally, mechanical beings would actively broadcast some information upon encountering a living creature, but the mechanical being at the door remained silent, just staring straight at Chun Li, sending chills down her spine.
"What do you want? If there’s nothing, I’m going to close the door..." Sensing that something was off, Chun Li attempted to close the wooden door.
The mechanical being that had been standing still suddenly reached out, stopping the wooden door from closing.
Chun Li jumped in fright and instinctively tried to flee back into the room, but at that moment, she noticed behind the mechanical being, a cyan dagger connected by energy lines rising up.
Before she could even realize what it was, the dagger transformed into a streak of cyan light, thrusting directly at her and accurately piercing through her abdomen...
...
"Do you want... the Illuminati’s contraband?" In the capital of the Celestial Dynasty, in front of the Dragon Group’s material warehouse, the young receptionist looked at Mu You through the small window, somewhat incredulous of what she was hearing.
"Yes, after taking down the Illuminati’s lair, some items should have been confiscated, right?" Mu You nodded.
Having just learned of Katerina’s prophecy, he swiftly returned to Earth.
Searching for a space fissure of unknown location on the vast Earth was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
In such a search, the most efficient method was to employ Divination.
Of course, Divination couldn’t just be done by anyone; the diviner was merely an interpreter, and actual Divination had to rely on the subject itself, or objects strongly related to the subject.
Fortunately, at the moment, the corpse of the President of the Illuminati was situated right in front of that space fissure, so finding his body would naturally lead to the fissure.
And to confirm the location of a deceased person involved a classic category of Divination in the study of Divination: search Divination.
The condition was simple, to find an item the deceased had carried with them in life, the longer the item had been in the deceased’s possession, the easier the divination would be.
Therefore, upon returning, Mu You went directly to the Dragon Group Headquarters.
After the Illuminati had been destroyed, the personnel and contraband that were captured were all handled by the Dragon Group, so he should be able to find what he was looking for here.
"Uh, many things were brought back, but most of the useful ones were distributed as rewards... What’s left are just some very ordinary items..." The receptionist looked at Mu You with a hint of curiosity.
She was curious as to why a bigshot like the Ghost Captain would be interested in those things – even she would not bother with the leftover scraps.
"That’s fine, show me what you have." Mu You breathed a sigh of relief; as long as there was something left that was fine, he wasn’t there to hunt for treasure, he just needed any item belonging to the deceased, even if it was something ordinary.
"Alright, follow me, please."
Without giving it much thought, the receptionist hurriedly led Mu You into the warehouse.
The Dragon Group’s material warehouse was like a large factory building, filled with countless shelves stacked densely with materials and items, each shelf orderly arranged with its contents.
"Let’s see, Section G, storage point Z357..."
Muttering to herself, the receptionist quickly led Mu You to a shelf and turned on the light beside it.
"Here we are, everything confiscated from the Illuminati is here, you can have a look yourself," she said.
"Thank you." Mu You thanked her and walked into the aisle of shelves.
Indeed, all the items on this row of shelves were of the poorest quality, many of them damaged.
Mu You’s headache was that although he had found the contraband, it was difficult to identify which items had been used by the President of the Illuminati.
He surely couldn’t try each one, could he?
The only thing that gave him some confidence was Katerina’s prophecy, which showed him and the Medicinal Plant Gatherer appearing directly in front of the space fissure, suggesting that he would eventually find the clue here.
Just as Mu You was feeling somewhat at a loss, he paused mid-step and turned to look at a corner on the second level of the shelf, where a card with a faint white glow was partially hidden under bottles and jars, shyly revealing a corner.
The reason Mu You had spotted this inconspicuous card among the many miscellaneous items was that it was all too familiar to him: it was a Magic Card!
