Inside Library, the dome hangs high.
A soft shimmer of light shines from the Crystal Lamps embedded on it, like starlight shining between rows of tall bookshelves and the open ground.
The organ chants and the interplay of light and shadow creates a quiet, solemn and sacred atmosphere.
The breathing of everyone could be heard clearly, and they all stared intently at the slowly emerging figure.
A circle of white light burst out, causing them to squint their eyes subconsciously.
It wasn't until the figure came closer and the light faded that the other person's appearance could be seen clearly.
This is an ordinary man, who looks very young, but also gives people an inexplicable feeling of having gone through many vicissitudes of life.
He was wearing black clothes, the material was very ordinary, but he was very clean and tidy.
His face is simple, with a popular face that is easily forgotten, and it can be said that there is nothing Memory about him.
Only those eyes looked extremely deep, as if they contained the precipitation of years.
Occasionally, there will be a flash of light, making people instantly feel an aura that cannot be underestimated.
The man was not the only one who appeared at the same time.
Behind him, there was a slender figure with light steps.
It was a young woman with an ordinary face, but her eyes were extremely smart, like two black pearls, spinning around.
He seemed to be sizing up every attendee, or searching for some secret.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes wandering back and forth between the two people, trying to capture any useful information from them.
For a moment, the entire Library seemed to have been cast a silencing spell.
The light from Crystal Lamps above the head reflected the slightly solemn faces.
This Secret Realm and Master seem to have created this head start effect intentionally or unintentionally.
Fang Cheng stood in the crowd, staring with bright eyes.
The man was seen walking steadily to the center of Library, then stood still and slowly scanned the scene.
Then he opened his lips slightly and spoke:
"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long."
Hearing this voice, everyone's hearts trembled, knowing that he was the Mysterious Man who had sent the message to them before.
The man had a panoramic view of everyone's performance, and a trace of unnoticeable satisfaction flashed through his eyes.
After a pause, he continued:
"Tonight is such an important moment. I invite you all to gather here. I believe that everyone has many doubts in their hearts."
"To be honest, I, like you all, am determined to get the Golden Benba Vase hidden in the Lu Family Manor!"
His voice was mellow and soft, like a morning bell reverberating in Library, clearly reaching the ears of every participant present.
Everyone was originally on guard, but when they heard this, they couldn't help but be startled.
They were not expecting the other party to be so straightforward and honest.
At first, everyone was speculating on how this Mysterious Man would use his sweet words and what methods he would use to confuse people.
At this moment, you are looking at me and I am looking at you, with some surprise on their faces.
Fang Cheng also raised his eyebrows slightly, secretly thinking about the intention of the other party's words.
Mysterious Man glanced slowly over again, as if observing the subtle expressions and reactions of everyone.
Then the conversation changed and he said in a deep voice:
"But everyone knows that Golden Benba Vase is not an ordinary thing. How can it be easy to obtain it?"
"Not to mention that this Estate is heavily guarded and fortified at every level, the masters of the Lu Family are even more powerful and unfathomable."
"On the other hand, we treasure hunters seem to have the advantage in numbers, but we are like a piece of scattered sand. We have to fight each other, but also have to be wary of each other and be distracted."
"You must have been tempted before. If we fight alone, no one of us is completely sure that we can overcome the obstacles and successfully pocket the treasure."
Mysterious Man When he said this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately raised his voice:
"But if we join forces and integrate each other's strengths, our chances of winning will be greatly increased!"
He scanned the entire audience with piercing eyes, trying to ignite the enthusiasm of all participants with these words.
However, there was no response as expected.
There was silence.
Although everyone is interested, their vigilance has not disappeared, and their inner doubts have become more intense.
At this moment, they were all looking at each other, but no one took the lead in questioning and refuting this.
At this time, a sneer suddenly broke the silence, attracting everyone's attention.
I saw a tall and thick man standing up first.
He had a strong body, his face was trembling, and he said in a loud voice:
"You just said that you are determined to win, and now you are calling on us to join forces. Your words are contradictory. Are you trying to coax a three-year-old?"
The loud voice echoed and buzzed in the space.
Everyone immediately nodded and softly agreed, expressing their approval and support.
When Mysterious Man saw this, he was not angry, but smiled slightly:
"My friend made a good question, and the next point is what I want to talk about."
Then he scanned the circle of people:
"Everyone here is a shrewd person. You can see the current situation in your eyes, and you don't need me to tell you what you are thinking."
His tone was calm, but his eyes were as sharp as a Scalpel, accurately revealing the hidden thoughts of all participants.
The echoes that were still whispering suddenly stopped suddenly, and the expression seemed unnatural.
"If Golden Benba Vase can always be stored in the Lu Family Manor, everything will be fine. At worst, we will have to be more patient than anyone else and slowly look for the opportunity to take action."
Mysterious Man looked calm and continued unhurriedly:
"However, according to the reliable information I have received, Golden Benba Vase will be sent to International Shadow Auction by the Lu Family tomorrow as one of the auction targets."
"As for the origin of International Shadow Auction, I believe everyone must have heard about it. Even though I am very afraid of them, I believe no one is willing to have a head-on conflict with them."
"If we go against the Noble Clan and Official Authorities, the worst we can do is hide our names and escape to a foreign country. Their hands won't be able to reach this far."
"But if you offend this international organization, you will really have to deal with it. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a place in the end of the world."
Speaking of this, Mysterious Man paused for a moment, then added a little more emphasis:
"So, my idea is similar to yours. We must take action beforehand, and nine o'clock tomorrow morning will be the deadline for this operation."
"Nowadays, everyone is trapped in the situation. If you continue to wait and see, waiting for others to stand up for you, you will only continue to remain in a stalemate and waste your energy."
"In this case, why not join hands to break the current predicament and jointly deal with the Lu Family guards to solve this most pressing problem?"
"As long as we can break through the defense line and successfully approach Golden Benba Vase, no matter who gets the treasure first, it will be clear to everyone."
"All teams can continue to compete based on their abilities. The entire operation is fair and open, with equal opportunities. No matter whether they win or lose, there is no need to blame others."
Mysterious Man finished speaking, his eyes sparkled, as if he was waiting for everyone's response.
"This... seems to make sense..."
The strong man who had questioned before touched his head, and his attitude was obviously much more relaxed.
Others also started whispering among themselves, and the various discussions became louder and louder.
Library Secret Realm, which was originally quiet, seemed to be noisy like a pot exploding.
Fang Cheng observed the surrounding situation calmly.
Bao Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned to his side, and whispered:
"This method sounds feasible, but there are big loopholes in it and it cannot constrain everyone to act in a unified manner."
Fang Cheng nodded slightly:
"Let's see what other people say."
As he spoke, his eyes were always locked on the mysterious man.
I always felt that this person's voice was somewhat familiar, very similar to someone I had met before, but his appearance was completely different, so ordinary that he was unrecognizable.
The doubts in his heart became even more intense, and his eyes moved towards the young woman who followed him and remained silent.
If you observe carefully, you can't find any clues except that she has cunning eyes, likes to stare at others, and mutters in her mouth.
At this time, someone snorted and spoke in a harsh tone:
"To put it lightly! Join forces? Who knows if he wants to use us as cannon fodder until we have exhausted the guards and Lu Family masters so that we can reap the benefits."
The speaker has a monkey-like figure and gloomy eyes. He is Ba Ming who has a grudge against Bao Ye.
"That's right, although we all want to seize the treasure, we can't be stupid enough to help count the money after being sold."
A man next to him who looked like the robber Face Mask also echoed, Yin-Yang said strangely:
"This guy's origins are unknown. How can we trust him? Is he just talking in vain and just wants us to sacrifice our lives?"
After hearing this, everyone nodded, and questions came one after another.
Then, an old man stroked his beard, squinted and said to the mysterious man:
"Young man, your idea sounds reasonable at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there are many loopholes."
"Even if we join forces, how to divide the work and cooperate, how to ensure everyone's coordination, none of which should be explained clearly? If you can't come up with a convincing charter, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."
Although the old man's voice was not loud, he hit the key points and made the noisy crowd quiet a little more.
Yes, everyone has selfish motives. When it comes to attacking, they deliberately slow down their pace. That's not the same as before.
Without the guarantee that everyone will act together, the plan is simply unrealistic.
The eyes of all participants once again focused on Mysterious Man standing in the center of the room.
"I naturally understand the concerns of these friends."
Mysterious Man looked calm, first raised his hands and pressed them down slightly.
This action seemed to have magic power, making the noisy discussion disappear in an instant.
Then, he raised his hands and drew a frame, and then a strange light appeared in his palms,
The light gradually spread, forming a white Light Screen, like a TV screen, with images flickering on it.
Everyone took a closer look and discovered that it was actually a detailed guard deployment map inside Estate.
Not only are the locations of the various outposts marked on it, but also the relevant information of the Lu Family masters, including their special abilities and their usual scope of activities.
Even the specific storage location and preventive measures for Golden Benba Vase are clearly stated.
The detailed information is astonishing.
"Everyone, please see, this is information that our team has spent a lot of effort to collect, which is enough to prove my sincerity."
Mysterious Man said, with a convincing calmness in his voice.
"With this information, we will be able to break through the defense line more smoothly and go straight to the target Underground Vault."
"Since I dare to take out these things now, I am not afraid of you checking the authenticity. If I have second thoughts, why do I have to do such a thankless thing?"
As he spoke, he waved his hands, his slender fingers like an artist plucking the strings.
The piece of white Light Screen suddenly transformed into countless pages of paper and flew towards every participant present.
In front of everyone, including Fang Cheng, there was a book with Ippon's cover emitting a faint light floating in front of them.
Seeing Bao Ye and others reaching out to touch the light, they seemed to feel something, with thoughtful expressions on their faces.
Fang Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly, so he reached out and grabbed the flying "book".
As the fingertips came into contact with it, the light gradually faded, and a stream of information suddenly poured into my mind.
The details of the defense map, the information of the Lu Family members, the collection location of Golden Benba Vase, etc. are all clearly presented before your eyes, and then quickly integrated into Memory.
It's as if this information is something you already know.
Everyone around him was silently feeling the extra information in his mind.
The scene was quiet, with occasional whispers, some marveling at the other party's methods, and others discussing the authenticity of the intelligence.
"It's not just that."
After revealing his method, Mysterious Man raised his chin slightly and said confidently and calmly:
"I also have a way to make everyone put aside their suspicions and achieve cooperation without any suspicion."
After finishing speaking, he quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered words.
Along with the chanting, a line of ancient and shimmering words appeared in the air.
The strokes are winding and winding, like some kind of lost symbol, which is obscure and difficult to understand, but exudes the mysterious Aura.
"This is Oath Spell?!"
The knowledgeable person blurted it out, and then explained it in a low voice to his uninformed accomplices.
Fang Cheng With "Omniscient Language"Talent, you can instantly understand the meaning of these characters.
The so-called Oath Spell is an ancient and mysterious restraint method.
After reciting the relevant Incantation, you can make an oath to agree on certain matters.
If you violate your oath, you will suffer Inner Demon backlash and suffer severe mental harm.
During the period when the oath is in effect, the swearer's behavior will be implicitly restricted.
Once the agreed upon terms are completed, the binding power will cease instantly like ice and snow melting.
Of course, for Oath Spell to work, it needs a strong Mental Energy person as the initiator.
The more people who participate in the pledge, the heavier the mental burden the initiator will bear.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but look at Mysterious Man with a little more awe and curiosity, secretly guessing how powerful he was.
Mysterious Man cleared his throat and said loudly:
"The cooperation plan I propose is very simple. We agree on a specific time and everyone will launch an attack from outside Estate at the same time. During this period, no one is allowed to hurt each other."
"Until someone successfully enters Underground Vault and grabs Golden Benba Vase, the bound Incantation will become invalid instantly."
"I think having this contract is enough to ensure that all of us will act according to the plan."
At this point, there is no need to explain any more.
Some frowned, as if they were pondering the pros and cons and weighing their chances of winning.
Some eyes flickered, showing eagerness to try, as if they had seen the treasure waving to them.
Fang Cheng felt that Mysterious Man, who proposed the plan, must have some back-up plan, but for the moment he couldn't explain why.
After all, this is an upright conspiracy.
"Okay, I agree with this cooperation plan!"
It was the strong man from before who stood up first and shouted loudly.
He decisively complied with the request, first imitating the pronunciation of Mysterious Man and chanting Incantation in turn, and then took the oath.
With one, there will be a second to follow.
After careful consideration, everyone felt that this cooperation plan was indeed the only way to break the current situation.
Even the weirdo with a head full of steel nails and the guy whose whole body was shrouded in dark red light swore an oath one after another.
Seeing this, Fang Cheng and Bao Ye also followed suit.
The situation is clear now.
Either participate in cooperation and advance and retreat together, or evacuate this place immediately to avoid becoming an "alien" who does not fit in with the group and being ostracized.
Even if you have doubts in your heart, you can only give it a try at this point. Hesitation will make you more likely to fail.
I believe others have similar thoughts.
