Chapter 562 The Stunning Effect of The Misfortune Card (1/2)
Mu Yuntian had been in horrible luck ever since he returned from the White Capital. A flower pot fell on his head when he was walking on the street, a brick flew at him as he was walking at a construction site, and he encountered various birds when he was flying and covered in feathers as well as bird s.h.i.+t…
Those were just the minor ones. What annoyed him was that everything he used in the laboratory exploded. He even made a huge gash on his hand when he was dissecting a body. Fed up, he went back to his office to deal with his doc.u.ments, but a fire broke out of nowhere. Many of his doc.u.ments were destroyed, and even his Emperor's Heart Ring was not working.
”Can you please focus on your work?! Look at you these past few days. You've made the laboratory explode 11 times. Are you messing around?!” The white-bearded Si Nan glared at Mu Tianyun in the office. ”Are you unhappy with me and actually intend to mess with me?!”
”No… No.” Mu Yuntian held his head down. He had no idea why he was so unlucky these few days. No matter what he did, something terrible would happen!
”You even lost the demiG.o.d relic a few days ago. Tell me what else you're going to do now!” Si Nan proceeded to scold him. In his gold-framed gla.s.ses, Mu Yuntian hung his head as he thought to himself, ”Am I cursed? If this persists, I'll need to go to a shaman…”
Life Power was a magical thing. Some of the Life Power would turn into negative Life Power when one died. The negative Life Power carried a unique curse or other adverse effects with it. Most of the people could not see the curse. Only a shaman could see and remove it.
Mu Yuntian started wondering if he was cursed since things had been going wrong for him for the past two days.
”Oh yeah, did you get anything from the two dead bodies these few days?” Si Nan just remembered after scolding Mu Yuntian for ten whole minutes.
”I've tried to break through their brains, but that didn't work. The team's thinking of other ways to decode it.” Mu Yuntian did not dare to tell him that the laboratory had caught fire two days ago and almost destroyed the two bodies.
”Alright then, since we have the bodies with us, we don't have to rush to decode their brains. Take it slow, do it properly, and don't damage the bodies,” Si Nan said, frowning.
”What noise is that?”
”What noise?” Mu Yuntian was stunned as he heard the banging as well. He had a bad feeling. Alarm broke in the entire base.
”There's a meteor shower around the ocean near our base. There's a giant meteorite that just landed on Skull Island above us. A third of the island is destroyed!” A panicked announcement came from the monitoring room.
”Skull Island has been destroyed?!”
Mu Yuntian and Si Nan were shocked. They then summoned a dimensional relic and stepped into it. They appeared above Skull Island to see that the northern side of the island was destroyed. The building under the island was revealed, upsetting the duo. Since the building was out on display, that meant the Union Government and the other organizations might find out about the underground base that they had built for tens of years.
Meteorites were still raining down. Some of them were headed towards Skull Island while some crashed into the ocean, creating vigorous waves.
”Let me handle this. Bring the two bodies away. Don't let anything happen to the two bodies!” Si Nan flew up and destroyed the meteorites with black streaks that shot out of his two fingers. Without hesitation, Mu Yuntian summoned his dimensional relic and stepped into it.
Just when he returned to the base under the sea, he smelled something burning.
”What's happening?” He grabbed an alarmed staff.
