In the castle of cats at midnight, in a magical corridor with quiet radiance, a certain room suddenly opened.
Tang Qi, who obviously hadn't slept, came out, looked down at the cat pattern on the pajamas, thought, and changed his appearance very professionally.
In a few steps, the beautiful boy who never woke up turned into a "monster thief" in night clothes. He didn't make any noise, nor disturbed any supernatural creatures along the way, or the magic settings responsible for vigilance. He seemed to have a castle map in his mind. He circumvented all the warnings very skillfully.
Tang Qi didn't use his strength during this process, and it was purely helped by Thorpe, the "inner ghost".
Soon, just a few seconds later, a gorgeous and heavy door appeared in Tang Qi's eyes.
To approach the portal, one must first pass through an extremely long corridor, although it looks normal, with many paintings hanging on both sides, some flower pots, utensils and other installations.
But naturally, Tang Qi couldn't hide it from Tang Qi's eyes. There were at least a hundred kinds of warning, defense, and attack magic devices in the corridor.
What made Tang Qi speechless was the door.
The reason why the portal is called "magnificent" is very simple. There are a lot of mysterious symbols and magic runes on it.
Each represents a powerful force, and all have extraordinary origins.
Tang Qi can make a judgment after a cursory look. If it is a forced intrusion, the legendary-level transcendent will end up like cannon fodder, and the demigod-level may be able to struggle for a while. The condition is that the two reliefs on the portal are not activated.
One represents "Death" and the other represents "Night".
Extraordinary people with a little bit of wisdom would not want to force their way in.
Tang Qi twitched the corner of his mouth, complained in his heart that the backstage of the three cat sisters was indeed hard enough, and then stepped into the corridor as if nothing had happened.
As expected, all warning devices failed.
Before Tang Qi came to the gorgeous portal, he hesitated for half a second facing the three vivid "cat reliefs" in front of him, and then spit out the secret order.
Complicated and obscure syllables, a long secret order made up of hundreds of languages.
However, the content is too shameful, and the translation is a series of "meow meow...".
If there was a second option, Tang Qi would certainly not say such a shameful secret order, but obviously not now.
He could force his way in, but it was just to open a door. For this reason, it was too extravagant to confront the divine power of "Lady of the Night".
As the last syllable fell, the treasure house door opened silently.
Light!
The treasure brilliance that blinds the eyes for a short time pours from the treasure house.
Tang Qi considers himself a qualified "collector". His collection not only contains a large number of strange objects, but also many sacred objects.
But at this moment he had to admit that Tang Qi's collection room looked extremely shabby compared to what he saw in front of him.
As far as the eye can see, it is all the light of strange objects.
The "Odd Object Racks" made of various materials with no end in sight are neatly arranged, and a large number of Odd Objects are placed on each shelf by category.
Tang Qi's human body, set off by those tall strange object racks, looks like a creature from Lilliputian.
It was very rare for him not to enter the treasure house immediately, and he stopped at the door for half a second. After getting used to the brilliance of the treasure, he stepped into it.
That is, when his feet touched the ground of the treasure house, an extremely sharp siren sounded in the castle.
In an instant, all devices were triggered.
A large number of extraordinary creatures gathered together, looking at Tang Qi who was standing in the treasure house with hostile eyes full of helplessness.
At the entrance of the corridor, three tall figures in pajamas slowly appeared.
The Three Cat Sisters!
At an outrageous speed, Phibs, Helena, and Selena, who were obviously still asleep, were teleported over at the same time.
When Tang Qi saw them, the three sisters naturally also saw the beautiful boy who turned into a thief.
Surprised, annoyed, and unbelievable expressions appeared on the faces of the three women.
This reaction couldn't be more normal, and Tang Qi also understood very well. The three sisters kindly took him in as a "male prostitute" who would have been sold. Who would have thought that he would avenge his kindness and come here in the middle of the night to steal the treasures in the treasury of the three sisters.
Although he really wanted to say a word of injustice, Tang Qi still had to follow the "script".
He first showed a smug smile at the three sisters, and then casually grabbed a handful from the shelf beside him, no matter what kind of strange object he got, he turned around and fled in smoke.
Watching the shameless thief get away, the three sisters are about to react.
But at this moment, an ugly and wrinkled Shar Pei jumped out angrily.
While chasing to the depths of the treasure house, he turned his head and shouted to the three sisters: "Great and beautiful goddess, don't worry, as the most powerful guard of the treasure house, I will definitely kill that shameless, ugly, despicable, stupid thief The captured one... No, I will directly burn him to death with the fire of hell."
"No one can steal the treasures in the treasure house of cats, this is my promise."
After the voice fell, the Shar Pei also bared and disappeared.
This sudden change made the three goddesses sluggish for a full two seconds before they could react.
What's weird is that the anger on the faces of the three sisters who should have been extremely angry suddenly disappeared at the same time. It seemed that they were not dissatisfied with the fact that the well-intentioned beautiful boy became a thief, but they were just very puzzled by the change that just happened.
Selena, the youngest of the three sisters, couldn't bear it first, and asked in surprise, "...what is Dad doing?"
Phibs and Helena shook their heads at the same time to express their ignorance.
…
In the depths of the treasure house, in front of a debris pile full of shiny gems and strange things, Tang Qi, who cooperated with Thorpe to complete the performance, looked at an ordinary old wooden box in front of him.
The wooden box is black and yellow, full of scars, and an abstract painting symbol is engraved on the surface of the box. It looks like two small black figures standing face to face, with each other stretching out their hands, as if hugging, or Like another pose.
Wonderful fragments of information that flow instantly.
"Extraordinary Stranger Things: The Door of the Box is connected to a portal that says 'everything can be sold'. Entering the box will allow you to enter the organization's trading place. An introducer is required to obtain permission."
When Tang Qi looked at it, Thorpe had already walked over shaking his head. The dog's paw was stretched out. With a "click", the box opened automatically, and there was nothing inside. There was only a dark passage leading to nowhere. A downward ladder purely condensed by light can be vaguely seen.
"Come on, troublesome investigator."
Thorpe, the god of death, climbed into the box first, and before going down, he glared at Tang Qi's hand that was still holding something strange, and added: "Put [Tussaint Gem] down for me, that's my Celine One of Na's favorite gemstones."
Tang Qi looked into his palm, and what he grabbed was a fist-sized natural gem, which shone with majestic magic power. It was a strange thing called Tusan gem, which had only one function, that is, to add charm attributes.
It's a good oddity, but it's far from being coveted by Tang Qi.
Putting the gemstone on the side of the wooden shelf casually, Tang Qi followed Thorpe into the door of the box.
Going down the light ladder lasts for a long time. Every time Tang Qi goes down a step, he can see the dim light rippling, and some images that seem to be projected from various universe dimensions flicker and disappear.
This wonderful scene continued until the landing, where Tang Qi and the Shar-Pei stood together in a special place.
The ground beneath his feet was not soil, but nothingness, surrounded by misty darkness.
But in the distance ahead, there is a huge "building".
It looks like a crystalline cube, shining with a wonderful brilliance, attracting all eyes in the dark like a special lighthouse.
"Everything is for sale!"
Thorpe suddenly sighed and spit out a sentence.
Immediately, He walked towards the cube first.
When he took the first step, bright light rose from under his feet, forming a "path of light" as if being lit, dragging Tang Qi and Thorp directly towards the cube.
At the same moment, Tang Qi saw the darkness.
Countless paths of light appeared, each dragging different figures into the cube.
Tang Qi, who touched new knowledge, was looking at the fragments of information flowing in his mind in surprise.
"A building made of one of the oldest and hardest substances in the infinite mystery, it cannot be destroyed, it cannot be transported, it cannot be taken, it belongs to everything and can be sold... It cannot be analyzed!"
Once again, Tang Qi encountered a strange thing that could not be analyzed.
Since his "knowledge" has been transformed, this is already an extremely rare scene.
Fortunately, Thorpe, the Shar-Pei ahead, is completing his duties as a guide.
"Its name is 'All Things Rubik's Cube', and it has existed for a very long time. It can be traced back to the Genesis Era, and even older..."
"Its owners are a group of mysterious and ancient existences. They call themselves 'mysterious merchants'. Although the outside world thinks that they belong to the 'permanent neutral camp', they don't think so. Their self-positioning is more detached. subject to any restrictions."
"But so far, they have only one activity, which is buying and selling."
"Here, you can sell anything you own and buy anything you can afford."
"Guests from any universe and any dimension are accepted here. As long as you can come in, you will always be able to get your wish."
"Even if it's a master's collection room, the wealth of treasures is far from being comparable to this place."
At Thorpe's voice, the light tugging at them quickly touched the cube.
The dim light surged immediately, and Tang Qi felt a terrible repulsion on the extremely smooth crystal surface without ripples or symbols.
"If you fail to pass the verification, you will be banished to the deepest part of the infinite mystery."
A hunch was born, but fortunately, Thorpe's qualification as an introducer had not expired.
With the feeling of time and space shifting, Tang Qi and Thorpe appeared in a blank room together.
The room seemed to be filled with a galaxy, a lot of stars were shining, the Milky Way was flowing, and shooting stars passed by from time to time.
In this brilliant and incredible scene, Tang Qi looked towards the center of the room, where there was a white table with a chair at the front and back.
A figure was already sitting on the chair behind the table.
He was completely covered under the purple robe, his face and limbs were not exposed.
He nodded to Thorpe first, and then seemed to know who the real guest was this time. He looked directly at Tang Qi, and a voice that could not distinguish gender, age, or even race sounded in the room.
"Everything is for sale, customer from afar, I already know what you want, now let's talk about the price?"
"If you are willing to register as our member, there will be a certain discount for this transaction."
Unexpectedly, like some kind of salesman's lines, spit out from the mouth of the purple-robed mysterious businessman.
