"True God..."
Just as Zhang Chen was feeling awkward, Tang Xueyao couldn't help but speak.
"What's up? Did you find the crystal?"
Zhang Chen asked preemptively.
"No... not yet..."
Tang Xueyao shook her head in shame.
"Oh, it's in this collection room. Search carefully, and call me when you find it!" waρ.kanshu伍.net
Zhang Chen hastily ended the call.
Fortunately, he was quick-witted!
Otherwise, would he have to give her an instruction manual?! Was this something a god should do!
"Okay, True God! I will try my best!"
Tang Xueyao nodded, quickly moved her gaze away from the mysterious small orb, and continued scanning the other exhibits in the collection room.
Apart from the exhibits at the entrance, many of the collections inside were dilapidated.
There were even many fragments, making it impossible to tell what they were.
The annotations on them were also strange.
It was estimated that the archaeology experts themselves didn't quite understand them before writing the annotations.
Anyway, future generations wouldn't know, and whatever they said would be accepted as long as it was logical.
"Found it!"
Tang Xueyao exclaimed in surprise.
In front of her was a ruby necklace, with a brilliant, large ruby in the center, surrounded by many diamonds and sapphires.
The annotation read: Necklace of the handmaid of the ancient Dark Queen.
"Who is the Dark Queen? And this necklace seems a bit much. Can a mere handmaid wear such a luxurious necklace?"
Zhang Chen muttered to himself.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed a very fine pink crystal decoration along the chain of the necklace.
It was this that was emitting energy!
"That's right, it's this one. I'll temporarily merge with you to absorb the crystal's energy! Are you ready?"
Zhang Chen asked.
"Yes, it is my supreme honor that the True God can use my body!"
Tang Xueyao nodded and slowly closed her eyes.
"Uh... it's possession, not a kiss, you don't need to close your eyes..."
In an instant, Tang Xueyao's body trembled, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
Her gaze now held a sense of composure and depth.
Meanwhile, in the martial arts school's monitoring room.
The principal and several teachers were watching the situation in the collection room through the surveillance cameras.
They saw Tang Xueyao looking around like a curious baby, everything seemed so new, as if she were on a tour.
Moreover, judging by her expression and lip movements, she seemed to be talking to someone.
"Who is she talking to? Is there anyone else in the collection room?"
The principal asked.
"No... the collection room only opens in the afternoon and is currently under lockdown. It's impossible for anyone to be there!"
The collection room administrator replied nervously.
"Then... who is she talking to?"
The principal was puzzled.
"Ah, these cult followers are too engrossed, they've deceived themselves."
"The so-called gods are merely hallucinations, or something like split personalities. If gods existed in the world, why have they never shown any miracles?!"
The head of teaching chimed in from the side.
"She seems to be looking for something. She's stopped!"
"Quickly check what the exhibit in front of her is!"
The principal urged.
"Let me see..." The collection room administrator pushed up his thick glasses, leaned his face close to the screen, and observed carefully before saying:
"This is the necklace of the handmaid of the ancient Dark Queen. It's a relic from the ancient God-Slaying War!"
"A relic from the God-Slaying War? We have something like that in our collection room?" The principal shivered involuntarily.
The ancient God-Slaying War sounded grand, and although its outcome led to the near-total annihilation of the True God Cult, it came at the cost of the complete exhaustion of the combat power of countries worldwide.
Moreover, it was followed by the Dark Queen's rule, which lasted for a hundred years.
This period saw many historical gaps, and people lived under the terrifying reign of the Dark Queen.
It wasn't until the Dark Queen disappeared that the world gradually returned to normal.
However, many cultivation techniques were lost, and humanity's combat power experienced a precipitous decline.
Even now, the Dark Queen era is widely recognized as the most terrifying and darkest period in human history.
Collections related to the Dark Queen were also considered ominous existences.
"According to regulations, the collection room must have at least one artifact over 400 years old... If we lose this artifact, our collection room will be revoked... so..."
The collection room administrator said timidly.
"Forget it. It seems this cult member is going to take the artifact, so we'll be safe!"
The principal said.
Suddenly, Tang Xueyao in the screen shuddered, as if possessed by something in a horror movie.
Immediately after, her entire demeanor changed drastically.
Her expression, eyes, and movements were completely like another person.
This scene left everyone looking at each other, a chill creeping up their spines.
"Could there really be ghosts?!"
"Impossible. Perhaps, as I said, Tang Xueyao has a split personality, and this is her second personality!" kand
"It's too late for any personality to save her now. I see the collection room's guards have been automatically triggered!"
"Alright then, the last cult member has been dealt with. Congratulations!"
The group chatted amongst themselves, some staring at Tang Xueyao's strange behavior, others at the puppet guards slowly opening their eyes in the corner.
At this moment, Zhang Chen, who had possessed Tang Xueyao, forcefully opened the glass case and reached out to take the necklace.
Before he could begin absorbing the energy from the necklace in his hand.
Suddenly, a dark shadow lunged forward rapidly.
"Ambush?"
Zhang Chen dodged instantly.
The opponent's fist grazed past Tang Xueyao's chest clothing.
"So close!"
Zhang Chen inwardly exclaimed.
It wasn't that the puppet guard was very powerful that made Zhang Chen dodge so precariously.
It was because Zhang Chen had not yet adapted to Tang Xueyao's body.
If it were him, that dark shadow's strike would have been fifteen to sixteen centimeters away from his chest, not grazing his clothes.
"It's an ancient puppet guard. These things are not afraid of energy attacks, and their bodies are extremely strong, making them very difficult to deal with!"
Tang Xueyao's consciousness transmitted information to Zhang Chen from within her mind.
"What the hell? Never seen one before!"
Zhang Chen steadied himself and looked closely at the puppet guard.
It was a robot, with an energy core like a human's inside. The alloy armor on its exterior was covered with a dark red energy grid.
Zhang Chen was very familiar with this energy grid; it could reflect energy attacks, which was indeed quite troublesome.
With the energy enhancement, the alloy armor's defense was naturally extraordinary.
"This design is very exquisite, not bad!"
Zhang Chen took two steps back and praised sincerely.
Hiss... these two large lumps of flesh are a bit of a hindrance in combat...
