Chapter 566: Continuous Chaos and Terror
Chapter 566: Continuous Chaos and Terror
After the bell rang, all the lights in the auditorium came on again.
Then, the door to the second floor of the auditorium opened and the second bell rang - this meant that it was time for Nevernight Fire Apricot to appear on stage.
"when--"
The bells echoed in the auditorium, but what appeared before everyone was a scene even more shocking than the scene of Forboluo being captured just now.
Behind the door, the figure of Nevernight Fire Apricot did not appear, but instead...
A pile of corpses pouring out!
There were probably hundreds of dead bodies rolling out from behind the door and falling from the railings to the first floor - these corpses, regardless of gender, age or status, were all wearing gorgeous dresses and exquisite makeup.
The nobles in the room screamed and fell into panic.
"What's happening here?!"
“Why are there so many dead people?”
When the intuitive "death" is presented to people in such a shocking way, no matter how noble their identity and status are, no matter how strong their strength is, they will feel instinctive fear!
However, after a brief period of confusion, the elites among them came to their senses.
However, in this situation, even though they were able to remain calm, their first reaction was...
Protect yourself!
"There's an attack—protect me!"
The powerful and influential people commanded their servants to protect themselves.
Huo Le, who had not yet sat down on the second floor, stood up again and took charge of the situation.
"Paris, have your men check the situation in the dressing room on the second floor! Enable all weapons and kill any suspicious targets if necessary."
"Outside security personnel, please withdraw one or three teams to the inner venue to protect all guests."
Stiller immediately led the team to the second floor and reported immediately on the communication.
"The bodies were all long dead, and the servants were all tied up and gagged, but Lord Huo Xing of the Nevernight Sky was nowhere to be seen... I suspect he may have been abducted."
Huo Le was silent for a long time: "Find her, we must find her!"
"Untie the servants first and ask them what they know!"
As she spoke, a mechanical sound and Stiller's exclamation were heard over the communication.
"Click!"
"Mr. Huo Le of the Nevernight Sky, it seems that something triggered when we were untying the servant."
"organ?"
Huo Le of Buyetian was stunned, and then a noisy electric sound suddenly rang out from the loudspeaker in the auditorium.
"Om-"
The guests present felt a sharp pain in their eardrums, and Buyetian Huo Le frowned slightly.
At this time, the voices of the servants were also heard over the communication.
"Respected Lord Huo Le, there were no external attackers... Lord Huo Xing of the Nevernight Sky attacked us himself and then escaped!"
"what?!"
An expression of disbelief appeared on Huo Le's face.
At this time, the voice of Buyetian Huoxing was also heard in the auditorium.
"Good evening, everyone! I am the main dish of today's dinner, the delicacy you've all been drooling over, and your most beloved, the Nevernight Fire Apricot!"
"I'm sorry to inform you all that I won't be attending tonight's banquet and ceremony... But as compensation, I'm leaving you my long-cherished 'doll'. I hope you enjoy it!"
"Anyway—goodbye, you hypocritical, idiotic, disgusting nobles. I'm glad you came here for nothing and wasted your time tonight!"
"By the way, besides those beautiful dolls, I've also prepared some extra gifts for you... Well, we've been recording for so long, it should be about time. Anyway, let's reveal the answer now. I've been talking for so long just to cover up some unusual noises. From now on, everyone, please remain quiet and you will know what gifts I have prepared for you."
The broadcast suddenly stopped, and then the venue fell into deathly silence.
Soon, everyone heard a subtle sound - it was the hissing sound of air intake coming from under their feet.
Saint Lanlai's expression changed slightly, and then he spoke, "It's the isomer phlogiston gas... Everyone, please immediately isolate all active alchemical artifacts on your body. Those who have undergone alchemical implants or transformation surgery, please adjust to the lowest power immediately."
"This gas is harmless when inhaled and will not react with the human body, but if it encounters an alchemical reaction, it will explode immediately!"
Most of the nobles present had extremely high attainments and accomplishments in alchemy. Just by hearing the name of the gas called out by Saint Lanlai, they began to shut down their alchemical creations.
Even though I didn't know what kind of gas this was, I didn't think Saint Lanlai was joking.
When everyone closed all the alchemical creations, before Buyetian Huo Le could give the order to clear the area, he heard an alarm in the exhibition hall.
“Beep—beep—!”
"Clap!"
The sound of display case glass shattering was heard, and then everyone saw a group of masked guys dressed in wild and rough clothes in the exhibition hall, hitting the glass of the display cases with roughly polished bone-handled metal hammers.
The woman in the lead had fiery red hair, a fierce look in her eyes, and was clutching a beautiful wooden box in her hand.
Qiu Xinliu stood up in shock. "Where did this person from the Great Wilderness come from? She wants to steal the Emerald Laurel!"
"Could this also be the work of the Nevernight Fire Apricot?"
Buyetian Huoxian stood up and said, "Bullshit! How could anyone from Buyetian collude with the people of Dahuang? Qiu Xinliu, watch your words!"
Larry Sorens quickly stood up: "Brother Huoxian, it can't be... This should be a coincidence, right?"
Eris Mercury observed the robbers' actions and said, "Wait a minute, are there sacrificial sculptures from the Great Wilderness Tribe among those gifts? Is that what they came for?!"
This time it was Sheng Lankui's turn to be unable to hold back: "Eris, fuck you! That's Miss Huo Xing, the one I carved!"
But no matter what, for these nobles who have lived in the inner layer all year round... the people of the Great Wilderness are undoubtedly more dangerous than the isomer phlogiston gas!
Laboratory leak accidents are common, but it is rare to find people from the wilderness who can run to the inner city!
Fortunately, as the alarm sounded, a transparent barrier fell between the exhibition hall and the auditorium, preventing these looting people from rushing to the auditorium.
The "alchemical array" of the Buye Tian family is still functioning normally - and since the active alchemical circuits that make this array effective are buried deep in the walls, it will not trigger the explosion of the isomer phlogiston gas.
But the bad news is...something went wrong with the formation, and it actually blocked all the entrances and exits of the auditorium and exhibition hall!
Not only between the exhibition hall and the auditorium, but also at the exit door of the auditorium, transparent barriers were lowered, blocking the people who were originally preparing to evacuate.
"Lord Huo Le of the Nightless Heaven, please quickly undo the formation—even though these people from the Great Wilderness are trapped, the phlogistic energy is still being continuously input."
Saint Lanlai looked towards the Nevernight Fire Music on the second floor—the authority over the alchemy array should be in her hands at the moment.
Bu Ye Tian Huo Le was so happy at this point that he finally had an expression of cold sweat on his face.
"I lost control of the alchemy array!"
"what?!"
"Someone with higher authority is manually controlling the magic circle. This place is not sealed off because of applause... But in the Buyetian family, the only person with higher authority than me is... only my mother!"
All the guests were in an uproar, and some people made noises of fear.
"what is happening?!"
"Could it be that the gods want us to die here?!"
"Buyetian family, you have to give me a reasonable explanation!"
Under the continuous attacks of corpses, burning gas, people from the Great Wilderness, and out-of-control alchemy arrays, these powerful people finally lost their composure and elegance, and completely fell into madness, chaos, and fear!
