I'm Really Not the Lord of the Abyss - Chapter 24

The young man with silver eyes looked at the crowd indifferently, his expression neither happy nor angry.

Under the anxious and expectant gaze of the crowd, he was about to say something, but suddenly paused, turning his head to look at the distant horizon.

There, many ships and aircraft were rapidly approaching.

Although they were late, the “门” symbol on the leading ship, which belonged to the Extraordinaries Guild, indicated that they had finally arrived.

…No, perhaps it wasn’t that they were slow, but that Lu Mi’s side was developing too quickly.

In fact, the Extraordinaries Guild had immediately assembled all the strongest forces in the vicinity, even completely alarming the headquarters.

Lu Mi sighed imperceptibly, then turned to the crowd and said, “Let’s leave here first.”

This was an order issued to everyone.

The Zergs trembled all over, looking up in surprise—

“So, you agree…?”

Jizhou sternly glanced at the Zergs who were about to lose themselves in triumph, and reminded in a deep voice, “This is the first command from the King to you.”

What are you still dawdling about!?

The Zergs responded in unison, ignoring the many humans approaching from a distance.

At this moment, the captain of the largest ship at the front was staring at the scene in the distance with dilated pupils.

“Are those…all abyss creatures…?”

Countless unheard-of humanoid mutants were hovering high in the sky.

From their position, they could only see one distant black dot after another. They weren’t sure if the other party had discovered them—no, they must have, and might even be watching them!

Then, the captain noticed the figure being guarded by many mutants in the center. He stared at it without blinking, while repeatedly asking, “What’s the response from the magnitude tester instrument?”

“…It’s broken.”

“What?”

“We just tried to capture the residual energy in the air, and it broke…”

An extraordinary held the smoking instrument in his trembling hands, his voice incredulous.

You should know, this was an instrument that could even detect B-level abyss creatures, but now——! The chill lurking behind him made him dare not think deeply, he was afraid that he would lose the courage to stand here, yet his gaze was irresistibly attracted by the spectacular scene in the distance.

God…what on earth happened here! A gathering of powerful abyss creatures that had never been seen before!?

Just as the extraordinaries were on high alert, even prepared to sacrifice to seek the truth, Lu Mi’s side was filled with a festive atmosphere.

With the joint efforts of Lu Mi and Sequence One Jiabo, the surging sea suddenly rippled layer upon layer.

The huge mirror world channel opened to the ordinary world.

The power of space dissipated greatly, and an aurora-like strange phenomenon appeared in the sky. In the howling sea breeze, it formed a magnificent picture.

The color of the world changed.

“——Go.”

With Lu Mi’s command, he was the first to leap down from the air.

Behind him, thousands of Zergs followed closely, drawing a high arc, rushing towards the sea without hesitation.

From a distance, the wings of the Zergs refracted brilliant light, like countless stars falling, spectacularly.

“Whoosh——”

The hurricane rising from the sea surface carried the power of space, punching a huge cloud hole in the sky, revealing the blue sky behind the clouds.

The dissipated power surged everywhere with the gale, and the fleet began to shake violently with the sea.

The extraordinaries couldn’t help but cover their eyes one by one, a gust of wind and sand, they put down their raised arms and looked again——

The wind gradually subsided, only the sea surface that had not completely calmed down could see a trace of clues.

“Captain…” An extraordinary, felt like he had fallen into a dream, and only the violent heartbeat reminded him that everything just now was not an illusion.

Although it seemed to have avoided a life-and-death disaster, everyone’s mood did not relax, rather it became heavier.

“Contact the headquarters immediately.”

The captain took a deep breath and spoke in a hoarse voice, “Say that an unmarked A-level abyss creature has appeared in the sea area! Request the headquarters to immediately activate the highest emergency plan——”

“Warn the world, the whole alliance is ready to take refuge——!”

Every time an A-level abyss creature appeared, it meant a world-shaking event.

And this time, it was indeed two worlds, another meaning of a world-shaking event.

Through the mirror world, Lu Mi moved back to the auction ship.

The remaining Zergs, demon, and the red dragon temporarily stayed in the mirror world, and Lu Mi only brought Grant and Salien, who had left with him at the beginning, to the deck of the ship.

Speaking of these two humans who were the only ones besides Lu Mi, their worldview probably shattered too frequently, and by the end, the two of them were completely silent in the aircraft.

Of course, it might also be because they temporarily lost their ability to organize language due to the amazing scenes one after another.

At this moment, Lu Mi finally pulled away and looked at the mental state of the two.

…Good heavens, the two of them had already slumped in their seats and didn’t move, it was unknown how long they had been in this state.

“Are you okay?” Lu Mi opened the outer cover of the aircraft from the outside and looked down at them.

In an instant, Salien took a sharp breath and rolled out of the driver’s seat.

The noble young man, Grant, suddenly looked up, his eyes shining as he stared at Lu Mi, as if looking at an eternal god, “That was so exciting!! Can we do that again?”

Just now…a space transfer?

Lu Mi looked at the other party’s lively and jumping appearance, and shook his head helplessly.

Not afraid that the human body can’t stand it, and it will fall apart, young man.

Whether to say that Grant was naive or ignorant, the young man who had never been involved in the extraordinaries world, may still regard everything so far as an unprecedented adventure, even thinking that this was the “normal” daily life of the extraordinary.

So he would be surprised and shocked by everything, but he didn’t understand the meaning behind it, didn’t understand that even for the extraordinaries, these things were absolutely beyond common sense.

“Young Master!” A group of bodyguards heard the sound of the aircraft landing, and hurriedly rushed over, their eyes filled with tears.

“You’re safe and sound, Young Master!”

“Please don’t be so reckless next time. If something happens to you, how can we explain it to the Master sob sob…”

A group of bodyguards looked relieved, checking the young man’s body in a flurry, expressing that their hearts couldn’t stand this agitation.

Lu Mi took the opportunity to ask, “How is the auction going?”

“The auction?” The bodyguards looked at him strangely, as if they wanted to say that after so many messy things, who cares about the auction.

Until Grant glared at them, “Hey, he’s asking you——the auction!”

“Oh, the auction…It’s said to have been changed to a private auction. The price will be lowered on the Star Network tonight, and whoever has the highest bid at the end will directly take the item.” The bodyguard answered in succession.

Lu Mi immediately jumped down from the aircraft, “How much time is left?”

“Until the ship docks. The giant ship is now returning to the nearest seaport, about…less than an hour left!” The bodyguard quickly estimated, counting on his fingers.

Lu Mi then directly took out the terminal and connected to the Star Network on the cruise ship on the spot.

At this time, Salien finally got up from the ground, came to his senses, glanced at him, and turned his head to notice that there were many ordinary people on the other side of the ship’s deck that he had never seen before.

They were huddled together wrapped in blankets, and medical staff were coming and going around them, checking on them from time to time.

Noticing his gaze, a bodyguard on the side took the initiative to speak, his words full of the sighs and incredulity of recalling the time, “Those people were sent back by a group of beings with wings on their backs after you left. They look like the one who attacked the auction at the beginning…Some people say they are all abyss creatures, isn’t it strange!?”

The bodyguard brought up this matter as if telling a strange story——why would they help humans? What is the relationship between the two batches? Is it infighting or is there a hidden story?

In the end, the bodyguard waited expectantly for Salien’s reaction, after all, many people were scared into peeing at the beginning.

Who knew, Salien just glanced at him with an unusually calm look.

Heh, naive, now the boss of that group of ordered abyss creatures is right here, he saw him ascend the throne, and still afraid of this?

Thinking of the center of this storm, Salien couldn’t help but look at Lu Mi again. Now he could manage to appear calm on the surface, but the shock in his heart was only known to him.

And at this moment, Lu Mi was frowning and fiddling with the terminal in his hand, when he suddenly put his hand down.

——Miscalculated, a third-generation terminal actually couldn’t squeeze onto the network here!

“Grant, can I borrow your terminal?” Lu Mi turned to the young man next to him.

The noble young man just glanced at it and understood the problem. He immediately patted his chest and said, “No need to bother, I’ll bid for you directly! No one dares to compete with our family, and by the way, also bid for that flute, so that no one will gossip in the future.”

He would buy it openly and honestly, after all, he was not short of money!

As Grant said, once he made a move, the item Lu Mi wanted was delivered to him directly before docking.

The three of them temporarily gathered in Grant’s room.

“Is this the thing you wanted?” Grant curiously looked at the box in Lu Mi’s hand.

“Sort of.” Lu Mi calmly looked at the pattern on the box, strictly speaking, this was something the Extraordinaries Guild wanted.

“Then quickly check the goods to see if it’s genuine!” Grant was obviously very curious about the thing Lu Mi was interested in.

Salien silently watched him, “Do we need to seek shelter?”

Lu Mi directly opened the box.

——What appeared in it was a lamp like a teapot.

The lamp was covered with a layer of gold paint, shining under the chandelier, looking very noble.

“This… could it be?” Salien looked at the lamp a few times, suddenly frowned and opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, which annoyed Grant who elbowed him.

“Do you recognize it? Speak up!” Grant didn’t like it when people left their words half-spoken.

Salien silently stared at him, but with Lu Mi present, the noble young man was not afraid at all.

“…There has always been a rumor in the underworld.” Salien withdrew his gaze and said to Lu Mi, “It is said that there is a treasure that can summon spirits, the appearance is like a lamp, the person who gets it can have three wishes fulfilled.”

Lu Mi: …I’ve heard this story, wasn’t the last person who got it called Aladdin?

“I don’t believe it!” Grant immediately scoffed, “If it’s really that magical, the person who gets it can directly wish for endless wealth, where is the need to auction it.”

Upon hearing this, Salien couldn’t help but think a little highly of the young man, he didn’t expect the other party to have some intelligence.

Grant: “…What kind of look is that!?”

“You’re right.” Salien ignored the young man’s dissatisfaction and continued to speak to Lu Mi, “In fact, the person who got it eventually ended up unfortunate, so this lamp gradually became regarded as an ominous object… The last time it was heard of was a few years ago, it was said to have been collected by a rich businessman, I didn’t expect to see it here.”

Now it was Grant’s turn to worry for Lu Mi, “This thing sounds really bad, is it really what you want? Or should we just throw it away?”

It was unknown if it’s an illusion, the moment the noble young man’s words fell, Lu Mi felt the lamp in his hand heat up slightly.

He couldn’t help but squint his eyes, interestingly rubbing the carved pattern on it.

Interesting…

The young man with silver eyes picked it up and took a close look inside the teapot, but all he saw was pitch black.

There was one thing the other party didn’t say wrong——

An ominous object, of course.

Because the aura of the abyss on this thing was almost overflowing.

“How long until the ship docks?” Lu Mi suddenly asked.

Grant instinctively looked at the clock on the wall, “About, fifteen minutes or so.”

“That’s enough.” Lu Mi nodded, “I’m going in.”

“Going in?…Where?” The two were dumbfounded as they looked at him.

And the young man with silver eyes just smiled slightly, his gaze falling on the spout of the lamp, which was the only passage.
