Godslayer: I use the costume system to cosplay as a god!

Meanwhile, Shen Qingzhu and the Ninth Seat, two undercover agents, swaggered into the venue with counterfeit invitations.

On the other hand, Lin Lin and others gained a profound understanding of what a "forbidden museum" truly is.

"These are some of the forbidden items collected by our Baili family, totaling 384 items. Among them, 196 are 'harmless' forbidden artifacts after sequence 600, 86 are 'low-risk' forbidden artifacts from sequence 400 to 599, and 63 are 'dangerous' forbidden artifacts from sequence 200 to 399..."

The man spoke with a smile.

Cao Yuan and the others were utterly astonished by the sheer number; it was the first time they had ever seen so many forbidden items.

"The master is a high-ranking member of the Night Watch, and he has high hopes for your future fifth special team." The man said respectfully, "Therefore, he asked me to bring you here. Each of you can freely choose a forbidden item as a gift from my Baili family."

Lin Lin and Lin Qiye exchanged a glance. Here it comes—the olive branch extended by the Baili family.

Lin Lin raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly, "Isn't this a bit too expensive?"

The man smiled and shook his head. "You underestimate the magnanimity of the Baili family. To be honest, every time a special team is formed, the Baili family will give a gift, such as the [Yiyuan] sword in the hands of Wang Mian, the captain of the [Masked] team."

Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes slightly, and finally smiled frankly: "Then we will not disappoint Patriarch Baili's kindness."

Cao Yuan and the others nodded and dispersed to search.

However, the forbidden items sent by the Baili family should be considered bribes. Whether they remain in their hands or are handed over after today is another matter.

However, none of them wanted anything from the Baili family.

Just as Lin Qiye and Lin Lin were about to search on their own, the man beside them called out to them, first saying to Lin Qiye, "Captain Lin, the master has personally selected a forbidden item for you. Please come with me."

Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow, said nothing, and followed the man's footsteps toward a room.

Lin Lin tilted his head, not expecting that this had anything to do with him.

The three entered a somewhat cramped room, where a slender black box sat quietly in the center.

Lin Qiye walked to the sword box, unlocked the spring lock beside it, and the black box slowly opened.

A snow-white longsword lay quietly inside the black box.

It is about the same length as a straight knife, with a relatively slender blade and a faint red glow on the edge, giving it a somewhat eerie feel.

The man spoke up at the right moment to explain, "This sword is called [Zhanbai], and it comes with the extremely high-risk Forbidden Ruins 061. [Zhanbai] is one of our master's twelve precious collections. It can ignore distance and cause damage to any object within a kilometer radius. With one swing, everything will be beheaded."

Lin Qiye glanced at the knife quietly, but didn't pick it up immediately.

The man then turned to Lin Lin and smiled, saying, "Mr. Lin, the master hasn't found a suitable ultra-high-risk forbidden item for you yet, but rest assured, once a suitable one is found, it will be delivered to you as soon as possible."

"Of course, you can choose one now without affecting the extremely dangerous prohibited item we want to send you."

Before Lin Lin could speak, Lin Qiye turned to look at the man and calmly asked, "Why did you give us this 'extremely dangerous' forbidden item?"

The man said respectfully, "Because your potential is worth the investment from the Baili family."

"Besides that, my master just has a little selfish motive." The man smiled slightly, "If the Baili family encounters problems someday in the future, they will have to rely on the two of you more..."

Lin Lin's eyebrows twitched with a barely perceptible hint of sarcasm. He wondered how many high-ranking officials he had privately communicated with about such selfish motives.

"Besides..." The man revealed an ambiguous smile, turned to look at Lin Lin, "The master has heard about some of your hobbies, and the 'surprise' he prepared for you has been delivered to your hotel room."

Lin Lin: ...

Lin Qiye: Σ( ° △ °|||)︴

Lin Lin's lips twitched slightly, and he forced a polite smile, pretending that he didn't understand.

The man smiled and nodded at him, giving him an ambiguous "I understand" look.

Lin Lin: …………

Finally, Lin Qiye came out carrying the [Zhanbai] sword, Lin Lin picked up a whip at random, Cao Yuan picked up a string of white Buddhist beads, An Qingyu took a square iron box, and Jialan picked up a silver bracelet.

The man stood at the doorway, his smile growing even brighter as he looked at the contraband in everyone's hands. He bowed deeply to them, saying, "You will be the Baili family's friends forever."

Lin Lin and the others exchanged glances. Lin Lin smiled, "I hope you'll still think this way after today..."

That's right, we are Baili's (Fatty's) family's forever friends, hehe.

I wonder how Fatty is doing. Anyway, the illusion magic is definitely enough to fool Baili Jing.

...

Baili Group.

Office of the Chairman.

Baili Xin glanced calmly at the two people in front of him; this was the last chance he was giving his biological son, Baili Jing.

Kill Baili Tuming here, and then take his place.

If we fail again this time...

Baili Xin narrowed his eyes slightly. His successor would not be a useless person who couldn't even defeat his competitors.

He said expressionlessly, "I'm going out to meet some old friends first. You can go straight to the venue later."

"Yes."

boom--!

The door to the chairman's office was closed.

Unseen by Baili Jing, a fiery circle of heart-shaped flames encircled his feet, turning his pupils deep red, but he remained oblivious.

This is an illusion mark that Lin Lin gave to Baili Pangpang. It might be discovered when dealing with Baili Xin, but it would be more than enough to deal with Baili Jing.

Baili Pangpang stood coldly to the side, watching him like this.

After all, in his eyes, Baili Jing was like a madman, talking to himself and getting more and more excited as he spoke, revealing all about the Baili family's control over Baili Pangpang for more than ten years.

Baili Pangpang clenched his back teeth tightly, his fists aching from the effort, but he just listened quietly.

Little by little, it wears away the faint hope and longing for family affection that still exists in one's heart.

And from his stomach, a faint light began to emanate, though it was unclear when.

There, there lies a jade ruyi scepter emitting a faint glow…

Squeak-!

The office door opened, and Baili Xin's gaze calmly swept over the figure lying in a pool of blood. His voice was as deep and steady as ever, and his brows furrowed slightly. "Be careful not to dirty the floor."

"Yes, father."

Baili Jing immediately replied respectfully.

Click——!

Baili Jing leisurely walked out of the room, giving Baili Pangpang one last glance at the ground, a slight smile playing on his lips:

"Farewell, you piece of trash..."
