After Xu Nan and the mechanical sphere captured the giant-faced ghost.
Soon, the Seven-Colored Egg, having deactivated its ‘giantization,’ also emerged.
Because the fight just now had been too intense, its body still felt a bit unsteady.
However, looking at the compressed, wriggling giant-faced ghost trapped inside, desperate to escape.
The Seven-Colored Egg immediately ignored its physical discomfort and was amused.
“No need to waste your energy. This thing only works on those below the Great Ghost General rank.”
Throughout the Underworld, although their master’s advancement was rapid, the treasures in their hands were not necessarily fewer than those of other Captains.
Hearing the senior’s words, the mechanical sphere pondered for a moment and then chimed in:
“Even if you scream your lungs out, no ghost will come to save you!”
“Screaming your lungs out is too busy. Who has that much free time?”
The Seven-Colored Egg replied while collecting the giant-faced ghost.
“Exactly, exactly,” the mechanical sphere nodded.
Beside them,
Xu Nan listened to their conversation, looking at the Seven-Colored Egg and then at the mechanical sphere.
He genuinely didn’t know if these two, a dragon and a robot only two or three and three or four years old respectively, were joking and playing around, or if they truly thought that way.
If it were the latter…
As the only one among the three with an adult mind, Xu Nan felt he had a responsibility for ‘appropriate guidance’?
But upon further thought, they lived in the Underworld daily.
Did they really need to know the specifics of the human world?
Xu Nan mused for a while and decided to observe them later.
“First mission complete!”
The Seven-Colored Egg clapped its paws, announcing, its mood clearly quite cheerful.
It glanced back at the young human boss inside the [Great Luck Great Luck] eatery.
Oh dear, it hadn’t controlled its strength and had sent him flying.
Next time, it would definitely be careful, next time for sure.
“Right!”
The Seven-Colored Egg looked at the small, round live-streaming orb hovering around them. “Now that everything is resolved, we can broadcast it.”
That young human boss must have hurt a lot when he hit the shelves, right?
It would be good to let other humans take him to the hospital, and perhaps visit the police station for some tea and to calm their nerves.
…
“What happened?”
Many viewers were still trying to process the sudden change in the live stream.
“It looks like we’ve been here before, the Great Luck Great Luck restaurant.”
“No, wasn’t Egg Lord and the others setting up an ambush on a mountain just now?”
This, was it teleportation?
Have Egg Lord’s missions become this advanced now?
“Is there a possibility that Egg Lord and the others have a clone technique?”
“The comment above makes sense.”
“Add one.”
As the interior of the Great Luck Great Luck restaurant was gradually broadcast,
The viewers clearly saw the terrifying giant face that emerged from the wall,
And the frozen meat chunks that the live-streaming orb had deliberately zoomed in on, being chopped violently on a cutting board by Luo Xing.
Seeing those few pieces that resembled human fingers, the viewers gasped in unison.
A human meat restaurant?!
The impact was too great. The unprepared viewers immediately covered their mouths, their stomachs churning.
“Ugh—”
“Ugh! Ugh, ugh—”
They were actually making deals with ghosts!
In the Public Security Bureau, the police officer guarding the live stream suddenly stood up.
He punched the wall beside him, trembling slightly.
He raised his head, his eyes crimson, and shouted to his teammates who were all looking at him:
“Dispatch! Dispatch immediately!”
“Destination, Food Street No. 24!”
“Yes!”
The officers rose in unison, some putting on their hats, others grabbing car keys.
They quickly got into the cars.
In the car, they gradually learned what had happened.
Instantly, several police cars’ occupants widened their eyes.
Their breathing quickened.
Human flesh…
Even the slightest possibility of this was enough to raise their alert levels to the maximum.
What’s more…
As they watched the scenery outside the window rapidly recede, one of them stealthily reached for the gun at his waist.
What’s more, the number of missing persons had indeed increased in recent years.
Among the missing persons was the girlfriend of that young boss – Qiao Qiao!
…
In the middle of the night, seeing such a thing was undeniably terrifying.
But soon, much of the viewers’ terror was dispelled.
In the live stream, the Seven-Colored Egg and the others charged in!
A colossal Azure Dragon filled their entire field of vision.
With a dragon’s roar, even the items in the storage room trembled.
Its long, dragon-scaled tail swung, exuding immense power.
As if a divine needle, it calmed the viewers’ agitated hearts.
At the same time, an inexplicable excitement and pride surged from their spines to their foreheads.
It made their scalps tingle.
They blurted out: “It’s a dragon! It’s a dragon!”
“It’s a real dragon!”
At this moment, they forgot where they were, forgot whether it was day or night.
In their eyes, only the Azure Dragon before them remained.
In their minds, only one sentence echoed:
—We are all descendants of the dragon!
Facing their roommates or family members whom they had woken up, they were filled with excitement.
Their eyes, at some unknown point, had become moist with tears.
It was truly a dragon! China really had a dragon guarding them!
…
Meanwhile,
The Seven-Colored Egg, which had just left the [Great Luck Great Luck] eatery, suddenly had a strange feeling.
It looked back at the myriad of lights behind it.
As if it saw countless humans dancing and cheering.
Specks of light emanated from them.
Converging from the air.
Like a galaxy.
The Seven-Colored Egg’s golden eyes widened slightly, and as the galaxy approached,
It faintly heard various voices echoing in its ears.
‘It’s a dragon! It’s really a dragon!’
‘We are all descendants of the dragon!’
‘My heart suddenly feels at ease.’
‘So cool! Ahhhhh—’
What was happening?
When it had appeared on the live stream before, it clearly hadn’t elicited such a reaction or this strange scenery.
Gradually, the galaxy enveloped the Seven-Colored Egg.
It lowered its head and looked at its own paws.
Small, yet seemingly filled with infinite power.
In its mind, the image from its inherited memories resurfaced: the Azure Dragon soaring into the sky, with all demons submitting to it.
“I think I understand…” the Seven-Colored Egg murmured.
Why the Dragon Clan was revered by all demons, why they could stand between heaven and earth, and transcend the three realms.
It wasn’t just because of their formidable strength, but more importantly, because of how the Dragon Clan used their power.
People admired the strong, but they didn’t worship the strong…
?
???
What was it saying?
After being profound for only three seconds, the Seven-Colored Egg got confused by its own words.
It just…
Seemed to have gained some insight, or perhaps gained nothing at all?
Looking again, the strange ‘galaxy’ had vanished without a trace.
Beside it, the mechanical sphere and Xu Nan were staring blankly at it, unsure whether to speak.
“Let’s go, let’s go.”
The Seven-Colored Egg didn’t explain, as it didn’t quite understand itself either.
Whipping its tail, it took the lead and flew towards the next mission location.
