Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 11: What's in the Box, Return

The white metal box looks like a password box.

Chen Ning'an discovered that there are always some box-like things in this world, and there are usually treasures inside.

On one side of the box, there was a disemboweled corpse with its head missing. From the cloak, one could recognize it as the [Boning Knife].

"Bone picking, bone picking, you are picking yourself."

Chen Ning'an chanted the name of Wuliang Tianzun and recited the Sutra of Saving People, hoping that in the next life she could go to a safe world and not have such a bad life.

The cloak seemed to be of some use, so he took it off. Then Chen Ning'an groped around and found three remaining red candles of different lengths on her body.

There was also a ball of ash, which was the talisman he drew, but unfortunately it had burned up. There were not many good things on this woman, perhaps because she had lost too much in the previous fight against the monster.

For example, when he saw a necklace at the broken part of his neck, it had lost its magic.

The box was right next to it, lying on the ground.

Chen Ning'an did not go to get it immediately, but looked at the lantern that was becoming more and more unreal, silently calculating the time.

He firmly believed in his hexagram. If he took it, he would surely die, and he didn't want to do it even a second earlier.

"Ning'an!"

Wang Youcai still ran over, holding a bulging wind bag flower and looking around carefully.

"I was wondering why you ran away all of a sudden, turns out you were picking up corpses."

"This is very dangerous." Chen Ning'an told him: "The monster could come at any time."

"I guessed it, otherwise I wouldn't have come." Wang Youcai didn't care about it at all. He held the wind bag flower and raised his head:
"If that monster dares to come again, I will blow it!"

This looks like a fragile mage with flash in the League.

Chen Ning'an smiled and looked around.

The monster was nowhere to be seen, and it seemed safe, but soon the lantern would be completely illusory.

But he still waited until the last moment, when the worlds in front of them began to overlap and Lan'an Community was right in front of him.

In an instant, he bent down and picked up the box, and at that moment, he saw the head covered under the box.

僵！
The zombie was hiding under the box and suddenly stretched out its hands to grab him.

As the mud flew around, Chen Ning'an's heart skipped a beat. He was caught off guard and wanted to move his body, but the wind blew again, blocking him for a moment, but it was too late for him to react.

As expected, there will be a disaster! Chen Ningan had a hexagram in his mind, and despite his precautions, the hexagram still came true at the last moment.

"I blow!"

At the critical moment, Wang Youcai was already prepared. He squeezed the wind bag flower hard and blew out the air.

The monster was slowed down, and in the blink of an eye, they were back to Lan'an Community.

"Hurrah!"

The remaining half bag of wind was blown out, but strangely, the wind that was strong enough to fly sand and rocks in the lantern world could only make the branches shake.

Weakened?

Chen Ningan observed this calmly, without making any expression, and quickly opened the box in his hand.

There was a metal bowl in the white box.

The bowl seems to be made of silver, with dragons and phoenixes carved on it, and seems to be an antique.

Apart from that, there is nothing else.

"Come out, someone comes out!"

As the lanterns light up, the living return.

Almost at the same time, lights came on in various places in Lan'an Community, and many people in black clothes and black hats appeared around them.

A person suddenly stood up from the bushes in front of the two men, and a dazzling light came towards them.

Wang Youcai was startled and thought a monster was chasing him.

"Fuck, how come you guys are hiding everywhere?"

"I'm sorry, but we have to ensure absolute safety."

The light moved away, revealing the uniformed man behind. He first used his phone to compare the two people's information, and then said:
"Hello, let me introduce myself. We are official personnel affiliated with the Night Safety Team." Night Safety Team, is Zhongcheng aware of the power of the Lantern Man?

Seeing that he was about to speak, Chen Ningan said, "So you are here to distribute the mission rewards?"

"Of course, we won't reduce your compensation by a penny."

Ye Anren looked at him, or to be more precise, at the box in his arms. He had never shifted his target from the beginning.

"You need to go to a special storage area with us to claim your rewards, so please follow me."

He made a gesture of invitation, his eyes still fixed on Chen Ningan's box.

"I'll go with you." Wang Youcai handed the wind bag flower to Chen Ning'an:
"Ning An, you are not feeling well, so go back and rest. I will help you get the reward."

He could see that these people had ulterior motives, and their eyes seemed as if they were ready to rob.

He was unwilling to hand over the treasure he had worked so hard to obtain.

"This needs to be picked up in person." Ye Anren forced a smile and said, "If Mr. Wang goes, there will only be one."

"Then we'll go later." Wang Youcai put his hand in Chen Ning'an's ear and whispered, "Let's hide the things first. They don't look like good people."

"Forget it, let's just go."

Chen Ning'an shook his head. He thought of the mysterious man who appeared mysteriously and didn't think the things could be hidden.

The young man walked ahead calmly. If it were an ordinary person, he might be reluctant to give it up, but for him, what would it matter even if they snatched it away?

You have to know that the lantern world is not opened at an officially designated location, he can enter it by holding a lantern.

What's more, since it is an official organization, it must be convincing and cannot break the rules, or at least its behavior should not be too ugly.

There was a hint of surprise in Ye Anren's eyes, surprised at the young man's determination.

He had read the information and found out that these two were newcomers, only at the [Lantern] level, and this was their first official mission.

She was not afraid at all and got into the taxi with him.

Of course, this is not a real taxi, but a special car to deceive people.

"Hey, Ning An, you are confused!" Wang Youcai was so angry that he could only follow.

"Little brother, you have a lot of guts." Ye Anren gave a thumbs up and started the car:

"My name is Hu Ping'an. Like you, my name has the character 'An' in it."

"Yeah." Chen Ning'an nodded and subconsciously scanned the accessories inside the car.

Everything is plain and simple, even the taxi-style advertising cushions.

After getting in the car, Hu Pingan started chatting with him, saying some familiar words. When they reached the suburbs, he finally got to the point:

"Little brother, I see that you have a good eye for things, so I asked directly, do you want to sell this bowl?"

"What is this bowl?" Chen Ning'an couldn't tell what effect this bowl had. He knew that once some external possessions were exposed, you could not keep them.

So, it’s better to exchange for some benefits.

When Hu Ping'an heard the young man's question, he was immediately delighted, there is a hope!

Commissions and wages are going to increase.

"According to our research, this is a metal that is unique to that world."

"The bowl is not important and does not have many functions, but this metal can be added to weapons and has great lethality against those things."

"hehe."

Chen Ningan laughed. What do you mean there are not too many functions?

He knew that Hu Ping'an was deliberately concealing the truth and bargaining.

"Then I'll go to the Lantern Man's Shop to see if anyone can tell me what this is."

He started taking pictures, which made Hu Ping'an a little anxious.

"Wait, wait, wait, I just forgot I had a few more points to add, don't send them yet."
