Chapter 422 – Going to the Banquet

　　”Prepared a gift? For us?”

　　Lin Qiye spoke with some doubt.

　　The man nodded, “Yes, please follow me.”

　　After saying this, he made a gesture of invitation and led the four of them through the hall, heading directly towards some hidden elevator in the back.

　　When the other guests in the hall saw this scene, the surprise in their eyes intensified, they were all representatives from major conglomerates, famous figures in the business world, even they hadn’t been treated like this, who exactly were these four young men?

　　Lin Qiye and the others walked up the elevator along with the man, who first entered a password and verified his fingerprints on the intelligent control screen in the elevator, then directly pressed the button for the 101st floor. The elevator operated silently.

　　The elevator operated silently, and as the red numbers continued to jump, the distance between them and the ground began to rise sharply.

　　When the string of numbers stopped at the 101st floor, the elevator doors finally opened slowly.

　　Behind the door was a wide, gray corridor filled with a sense of high class.

　　Lin Qiye and the others followed the man out of the elevator and walked straight forward along the long corridor, underneath their feet was an unknown velvet carpet that didn’t have the slightest sound when their feet stepped on it, and the light of the pale yellow ambient light spilled down from above their heads, which was neither dim nor blinding, making it comfortable.

　　They walked for a full five minutes down this long corridor, passing countless rooms before they reached the end.

　　The man walked to the door at the end and successively verified his fingerprint iris work permit before the heavy room door slowly opened, and behind the door, there was a huge space that was three stories high.

　　Click, click, click ……

　　As the door to the room was pushed open, the lights on the roof were turned on in turn, and a beam of light was projected from the top, clearly illuminating the densely packed display cabinets below.

　　Lin Qiye and the others stood in the doorway, shock surfacing in their eyes as they saw the display counters that gradually lit up like waves.

　　”These are ……”

　　”It’s forbidden items.” The man stood beside the door and said with a smile, “These, are some of the forbidden objects in our Baili family’s collection, except for those twelve ultra-highly dangerous forbidden objects that were stored separately by the old master.”

　　Lin Qiye walked to one of the most forward booths and looked inside.

　　It was a pair of worn out black boxing gloves, quietly placed in the center of the display case, emitting a bizarre black light under the overhead lights, it didn’t look like a mortal object.

　　In the lower right corner of the display case, a piece of introduction engraved on the metal was placed.

　　”[Tidal Glove]”

　　”The inside of the glove comes with the forbidden market of sequence 356 [Giant Power], which can generate 500-3000 kilograms of giant power when swinging a fist, hazard rating ‘b’, no requirements for the equipper, the principle of the forbidden object has been cracked at the moment, and it has been added to the imitation mass production program… …”

　　Lin Qiye removed his gaze from this display case and looked at the other display cases densely packed in front of him, and couldn’t help but ask, “Just how many forbidden objects are here ……?”

　　The man smiled and spoke, “There are a total of 383, of which 196 are ‘harmless’ forbidden ruins after sequence 600, 86 ‘low-risk’ forbidden ruins from sequence 400 to 599, and 63 ‘dangerous’ forbidden ruins from sequence 200 to 399 ‘Dangerous’ Forbidden Ruins, and 38 pieces of ‘High Danger’ Forbidden Ruins with sequences 90 to 199.

　　Of course, some of them are forbidden objects that possess the same Forbidden Ruins and are counted in the number.”

　　Hearing these terrifying numbers, Cao Yuan and the others were completely stunned.

　　They had long heard of the name of the Baili Family’s Forbidden Objects Collection, but it wasn’t until today that they truly realized …… what the word “Collection” actually meant.

　　Such a quantity of forbidden objects was simply too shocking!

　　”His Lordship himself is a high-ranking member of the Night’s Watch, and has high hopes for your future fifth special squad.” The man spoke, “Therefore, he asked me to bring you here so that each of you can freely choose a forbidden item as a gift from my Baili family to all of you.”

　　Lin Qiye turned back and spoke with some surprise, “Using a forbidden object as a gift? Would it be too expensive?”

　　The man smiled and shook his head, “Captain Lin, you have underestimated our Baili Group’s magnanimity, truth be told, after every speciality squad is released, my Baili family will give a gift, for example, the [Eagle Duck] in the hands of the [Masked] squad’s leader, Wang Mian, was a gift given to him back then by his old master.”

　　Lin Qiye’s mind recalled the hilt on Wang Mian’s waist and nodded thoughtfully.

　　Cao Yuan An Qingyu and the others looked at Lin Qiye at the same time, seemingly waiting for him to make a decision.

　　After a moment, Lin Qiye smiled somewhat helplessly, “Since it’s a kind gesture from Fatty’s father, we’ll accept it …… everyone pick one.”

　　Cao Yuan and the others nodded their heads and spread out to look for each one along this huge collection space.

　　Although these forbidden object collections were all ranked by sequence, sometimes a high-risk sequence didn’t mean it was more suitable for them, for example, the [Eagle Duck] in Wang Mian’s hand that was capable of converting speed into lethality was only a Sequence 301 forbidden ruin on its own, but when paired with his ability, it was capable of dealing super high-risk damage.

　　Lin Qiye was about to similarly start searching when the man at the side called out to him.

　　”Captain Lin, the master has personally prepared a forbidden ruin for you …… Please follow me.”

　　Lin Qiye was slightly stunned, and after hesitating for a moment, he still followed the man’s footsteps towards another room.

　　This room wasn’t large and didn’t look as atmospheric as the collection hall outside, instead it looked a bit cramped, but in the center of this room, a slender black box had been quietly placed.

　　The man stood at the door and made a please gesture to Lin Qiye.

　　Lin Qiye took a step and walked to that black box, his hands opened the bullet lock on the side of the box, and in a crisp machine amplification sound, the black box slowly opened.

　　A snow-white long knife was lying quietly in the center of the black box.

　　The length of this knife was about the same as a straight knife, but relatively speaking the blade was slimmer, and the blade glowed with a faint reddish aura under the light, giving it an unspeakable demonic feeling.

　　Lin Qiye looked at this white long knife, his eyes slightly narrowed, always felt a bit familiar ……

　　”Captain Lin, this is not the same as those forbidden objects outside.” The man opened his mouth at the right time and explained, “This blade is called [Zhenbai], it comes with the Sequence 061 Ultra High Risk Forbidden Ruin [Zhenbai], it is one of the twelve precious collectibles of the old master, it is capable of ignoring the distance and inflicting damage on any object within a range of 1,000 meters around you, and when a blade is wielded, everything will be awarded with its head.

　　It’s a truly great killing weapon.”

　　At this moment, Lin Qiye finally realized where this familiar feeling came from.

　　When he was at the training camp, Baili Chubby had taken out an imitation of the [Chopping White] for him to use, and although it could only ignore a distance of five meters, it still left a deep impression on him.

　　And now …… the original version of this forbidden item was in front of his eyes.
