Suddenly, Bai Zhi's eyes lit up. Through the fence, she saw a warehouse with an alloy door.
There were no other artifacts inside, only one thing: two talismans embedded in the central cone.
"Hmm, a great start! I'll accept these two talismans without hesitation."
Slipping out of the ventilation duct, Bai Zhi went to a blind spot in the surveillance system, then gently blew a breath, instantly burning the surveillance camera.
Then, Bai Zhi floated to the place where the talismans were stored, and with a single swipe of her tail, she shattered the protective glass, attaching the snake talisman and the pig talisman to her tail.
With a surge of power, her figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
After the talisman left its original position, alarms immediately went off throughout District 13, and red lights flashed incessantly.
"Ah, this spell is really weak."
Bai Zhi looked at the slight marks she had left on the ventilation duct from the slight friction, and was somewhat speechless.
The snake charm was much weaker than she had imagined.
This is not as good as the Cloud Chant Technique. At least the Cloud Chant Technique can make you invisible while also concealing your footsteps and body temperature.
Even in the interstellar era, the Cloud Chanting Technique is not something that ordinary people can see through.
However, this snake talisman, apart from optical invisibility, exposes its body temperature and movement trajectory. Anyone with an infrared device would be exposed.
This pig talisman is actually pretty good. If it were in the American comic book movie theater next door, combined with the chicken and cow talismans, it would be a superhero template.
"Sheriff Black, what's going on with the alarm suddenly going off?"
Jackie Chan, who was interrogating prisoner number 23, was somewhat puzzled.
"Sheriff Black, someone has stolen our talismans!!"
Before Sheriff Black could speak, a security guard, sweating profusely, hurriedly opened the door and shouted.
"What? Could it be another black magic wizard, or someone else?"
Blake was startled; his past trauma resurfaced, and he quickly asked him a few questions.
This District 13 is clearly one of the most secretive places in the United States, so how come it's like a sieve now, with people coming and going as they please?
Is this reasonable?
"I don't know, we haven't seen anyone at all, and our remaining two talismans have been stolen. Sheriff Black, what should we do?"
As the security personnel spoke, they looked at Sheriff Blake with pleading eyes.
Sheriff Black was also having a headache. Although he was in charge of many things here, you can't just leave everything to me.
"Sheriff Black, do you need our help?"
Seeing this, Jackie Chan and his father went over and asked.
"It would be great if you could come and help. I also suspect that it was other dark magic wizards who were behind it, but we don't know magic, so we can't be sure."
“That’s right, your idea is good. Magic needs magic to defeat it.”
The old man said with a sense of relief, "Many times, this man has always been too trusting of science, thinking that the weapons he has can handle things."
Now I finally get it.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you two. I'll also check the surveillance footage to see if there are any clues."
"Dad, let's go and take a look at the place where the theft occurred."
As the group walked away, the room fell silent. Prisoner number 23 hung his head, his expression somewhat blank.
But then, as if sensing something, she raised her head.
Although she had never seen that great being, her intuition told her that it had descended.
"Is that you, Your Majesty?"
Her voice echoed in the room, but there was no other response.
But she could feel her heart starting to pound violently, and that indescribable feeling grew stronger and stronger.
"Your Majesty, please save this world!!"
She called out softly.
"Interesting. Would you like to come with me?"
When she blinked, a girl with black hair, red eyes, and dragon horns stood in front of her and reached out her hand.
From Bai Zhi's perspective, this white-haired, red-eyed woman, though in the body of a young girl, appeared aged and looked like she was 60 years old, yet she shone brightly.
How to put it? It's the kind of person who gives off the feeling that you'd give them everything. The intense goodwill they have for her is almost like a third wheel.
Bai Zhi was wondering if the other person would immediately do the same if she told her to commit suicide.
308, come and sign a contract with me!
"I am willing!"
Number 23 paused for a moment, then spoke without hesitation.
Your own god has arrived; all you have to do is obey.
"Alright, get ready, I'll take you away!"
Bai Zhi smiled and was about to use a talisman to turn No. 23 into a small animal and take him away.
"boom!"
The door was suddenly pushed open.
Sheriff Black, Jackie Chan, and Uncle all squeezed in.
"So you did have an accomplice. Luckily I was smart enough to pretend to leave. You're that dark-skinned wizard's accomplice, aren't you?!"
Sheriff Blake drew his gun and pointed it at Bai Zhi. "You've trespassed into a secret national base and committed a serious crime. Now put your hands behind your head, or I'll shoot!"
"Hi, sir, and Jackie Chan, it's nice to see you again!"
Bai Zhi completely ignored Sheriff Blake's warning and greeted the other two in a very friendly manner.
Jackie Chan frowned. "Bai Zhi, you really are no good person. You actually infiltrated District 13 to try and save people. You stole the stolen Pig Talisman and Snake Talisman, didn't you?"
The old man didn't say anything, but silently picked up his dried pufferfish, its green magic shimmering on it.
"Please don't be so agitated, everyone. I did take the talisman, but I didn't steal it. The original owner of this item wasn't you. You leaving the talisman here can be considered as stealing it."
"Stop trying to seduce people here, Jackie Chan, let's go!"
The old man didn't give Bai Zhi a chance to speak at all, because he knew that if Bai Zhi said a few more words, they might hesitate again.
It would be better to cut to the chase and have a fight first.
"Really... I really don't want to fight." Bai Zhi shook her head.
"Demons and monsters, leave quickly! Demons and monsters, leave quickly..." The old man held the dried pufferfish, and green magical power surged towards Bai Zhi.
A stream of water appeared in front of Bai Zhi, easily blocking her father's magical attack.
These spells are specifically designed for demons. If it were the Holy Lord or one of the other demons, it might not be so easy for them. But unfortunately, Bai Zhi's race is the Wisdom Clan, not a demon.
With a gust of wind, Jackie Chan's attack arrived, and Bai Zhi stretched out her finger and directly blocked the opponent's kick.
Even without the Ox Talisman, the innate talent of the Vidyadhara race is not low. The advantage of the Dragonborn lies in this: their powerful physical body is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"bang bang bang"
Seeing that Jackie Chan's attack was ineffective, Sheriff Black did not hesitate to fire his gun.
But then flames erupted from Bai Zhi's body, and the bullets were instantly incinerated the moment they approached her.
"My suggestion is that we can talk business properly and stop fighting."
However, no one listened to Bai Zhi's suggestion. After hearing the commotion, the security forces of District 13 rushed over immediately.
They attacked Bai Zhi with all sorts of weapons.
Some tried to fight hand-to-hand, but were knocked down with a single punch; others wielded high-energy laser guns, but the guns turned into small animals in the next moment.
Of course, most of the shooting was carried out by ordinary guards using ordinary firearms.
However, those bullets were completely helpless against the flames generated by the dragon talisman, serving only as a spectacle.
“You don’t understand how to speak properly. Well, besides doing business, I also know a little about martial arts. I hope I can teach you a lesson.”
"A torrent of water surges forth!"
Bai Zhi made a grasping motion with one hand, and countless imaginary forces formed a water flow. After controlling the force, she directly dispersed the crowd. Then, these water flows continued to rush into the entire 13th district, and in a short time, the water level reached the point where it could submerge thighs.
"I don't want to kill anyone. I hope you can think this through before this water fills up the entire District 13."
This warning was very effective, since District 13 was a secret underground research base, and if it were flooded, they would all die there.
"Stop! We're willing to talk to you!"
Sheriff Black, his face covered in bruises, stood up from the water and signaled to the others to stop immediately.
"That's more like it. Let's talk business properly. Fighting and killing each other is no good, right?"
What exactly do you want to talk about?
Seeing the water level slowly decrease thanks to the drainage system, Sheriff Black breathed a sigh of relief, then asked Bai Zhi seriously.
"Nothing much, just wanted to ask everyone in District 13, do you want to change bosses?"
Bai Zhi looked at the scientists from District 13 who had gathered around and said with a smile.
Sheriff Blake: ?
"What nonsense are you spouting, you demon? You flooded our base and you still dare to say such things? Do you want to force us to work for you?"
"Hey, Chief Black, how can you slander someone out of thin air? I just think that everyone in District 13 is incredibly talented, and my company happens to be in dire need of talent, so that's why I extended this invitation."
Bai Zhi shrugged, looking completely innocent.
"Putting everything else aside, in my company, your salaries will triple, all kinds of benefits will be maximized, and you'll have flexible working hours, as long as you can produce suitable results."
"If there are projects, as long as they pass the review, we can also provide funding to guarantee research freedom."
“Sheriff Black, I remember your mother. She must have many chronic illnesses. My Destiny Company is very good at this. If you join my company, maybe your mother will feel better.”
"You... just because you have a few stinking coins, you think you're so great?!"
Jackie Chan shouted with some dissatisfaction, saying that he really disliked Bai Zhi's tactic of using money to coerce people.
"Sorry, having money doesn't make you great. I mean what I say. Everyone here must have their own ambitions, and what I like to do is to help dreams take flight."
“Mr. Jackie Chan, as an archaeologist, you also want to open your own museum, right? If you are willing to sign a contract with me, you will immediately receive a sum of money to open a museum.”
"you...."
Jackie Chan took a deep breath; he really couldn't say he didn't want to.
He had so many adventures and legendary experiences around the world, and if possible, he really wanted to record them all and put them in a museum. It would be even better if they could be accompanied by artifacts from the places he encountered along the way.
However, given his dwindling income, he probably won't be able to build even one-tenth of a museum in his lifetime.
Bai Zhi waved her hand, and with a clanging sound of metal, a small pile of gold coins was placed on the ground.
"Now, those who want to sign a contract with me, please come forward. Don't worry about the government making things difficult for you. I believe that for the sake of these gold coins, they won't have any objections, right?"
309 Scientists solved everything with just a mobile phone
The scientists in District 13 looked at each other in disbelief; this was a scene they had never imagined.
They initially thought that someone had broken in again.
Many of them brought weapons they had invented, ready to provide support.
And now you're telling me you're here to recruit employees?
If you're going to hire employees, then so be it. They wouldn't believe this absurd claim anyway.
But after that shower of gold coins, they thought they might consider the boss's situation a little more.
In District 13, many people don't prioritize salary; the main reason is that there are many top experts and other research resources available.
However, if you have money, you can do these things too, and maybe even better than the 13th district.
