Chapter 3940: Out-of-Control [Active Metal]

Miss Jia Lin Na originally wanted to come to St. Deran Square before Sunday night, but in the end, because of a sudden incident, she had to stay in the Yodel Palace.

Thus, Luweiya still stayed on the third floor to stargaze, and the Edwards sisters enjoyed the night time with Xia De alone.

"Meow~!"

It was just that in the middle of the night, all the rooms in No. 6 St. Deran Square had been turned off, and after Megan and the Audrey sisters held hands and hugged Xia De's arms on the left and right to enter dreamland together, a cat's meow broke the silence of the night in the house.

Xia De opened his eyes instantly. Before Megan and Audrey could react, he locked the space and appeared directly in the bedroom where Luweiya was resting on the third floor.

When the sisters, who had put on their robes, left the bedroom, they saw Xia De wearing pajamas and holding the cat, walking toward the first floor with Luweiya. They hurriedly followed:

"What's wrong?"

Luweiya, who was on the third floor with Little Mia tonight, was also very puzzled:

"It suddenly called out just now, and it was calling toward the direction under the floor. Let's go downstairs and take a look together."

There was no problem on the first floor, and when the group of four arrived at the basement, they immediately felt the abnormal whisper elements.

Xia De did not store any relics in the normal area of the basement. When he summoned his life ring and opened the hidden space, almost instantly, a silver light shadow pounced out from it.

The girls, who were prepared, immediately released shields. The shield released by Audrey was even a pink shield transformed from the "Breeding Mark"—this mark was on them tonight.

And after a *pop~* loud noise, the four of them saw that what hit the shield was a pool of flowing, mercury-like stuff. After that thing fell to the ground, it slid along the ground rapidly, but was immediately hit by Xia De's freezing ray and frozen in place.

"【Active Metal】?! This relic is out of control? How is it possible? Can this thing go out of control in front of the ancient god statue? I followed Mr. Finch's instructions and didn't open the containment container at all."

Xia De was surprised, and then there was another *pop~* sound. The frozen metal broke free from the shackles of the cold ice, ejected from the ground, turned into a silver arrow, and shot toward Xia De's right eye, but was immediately hit by a "Thunderclap" and flew to the wall on the other side of the basement.

Even though Xia De didn't dare to let go and cast spells with all his might in his own basement, the metal surface deeply embedded in the wall was still jumping with silver-white electric arcs, making it nearly paralyzed.

It was just that the liquid metal soon regained control of its "body" by dispersing itself. It dispersed itself into hundreds of silver liquid droplets, and then did not continue to attack the four, but pounced on the basement gas pipeline on the wall.

"Stop it!"

The greatest power of the relic 【Active Metal】 was not itself, but the effect it exerted after infecting mechanical equipment.

Xia De, Megan, and Audrey all knew that it must not be allowed to contact other metal creations. While Luweiya hurried to the "hidden area," the sisters, who were holding hands, slammed the other two hands that were not held together:

"Qishu: Edwards Sealing Technique!"

This was a space-type sealing technique they created based on their own situation and combined with the research materials left by their ancestors. Theoretically, only they, with such a unique one-body-two-soul, could learn it.

And in terms of specific performance, after opening the book pages, a golden book larger than a door panel appeared out of thin air around those dense silver liquid droplets, and then closed with a loud noise, sealing the 【Active Metal】 entirely in the book.

The silver liquid droplets struggled and scurried inside the giant book, but more and more runes appeared on the golden giant book, and the volume of the book itself was constantly shrinking.

And when it shrank to the size of a normal book, inside the energy-ized shell of the book, the 【Active Metal】 had been gathered together again, and as if it had turned from three-dimensional to two-dimensional, it was printed on the paper.

"This is the sealing technique we researched specifically for relic containment."

Megan said to Xia De with a smile. Audrey reached out to take the beautiful golden book, but didn't expect that at this moment, the originally calm silver liquid metal suddenly reactivated, instantly breaking free from the Edwards sisters' sealing technique.

At this time, the relic was very close to Xia De and the witches. The streamer of metal was as fast as real light. Amidst the threatening sound of the cat "Meow~" on Xia De's shoulder, it shot toward Xia De's right eye again.

The shields summoned by Audrey and Megan and Xia De's night curtain seal only hindered it for a moment before being pierced through, but it finally just passed through the dancing red butterfly group and entered the black metal coffin that appeared behind Xia De at some point.

"Qishu - Coffin of the Underworld!"

The coffin closed, but before the black skeleton emerging in the void could hug the coffin, that metal coffin was completely dyed silver-white by the 【Active Metal】.

Xia De immediately felt the spell failure caused by the lack of a "spell target," and the coffin infected by the 【Active Metal】 pounced on Megan nearby. Megan dodged to the side nimbly—

Bang!

The sound of a gunshot exploded in the basement. At the exit of the "hidden passage," Luweiya, holding the 【God's Gift Box】 in one hand and the 【One-Hit Kill Pistol】 in the other, raised the muzzle, and the metal coffin that was hit directly collapsed to the ground.

There was a clear bullet hole on the coffin lid, and after the coffin fell, the silver-white color on its surface faded rapidly like a receding tide.

The three immediately gathered around carefully. After opening the coffin lid, they saw that the pool of silver-white liquid metal was in the corner inside the coffin, wriggling and wanting to move, but it was clear that it only had the ability to wriggle slowly now.

"It didn't die even like this? It deserves to be a relic."

Luweiya sighed in a low voice.

During the Battle of Fate, when Xia De got the 【One-Hit Kill Pistol】 left by Violet and Theresa, there were only three "Soul Bullets" in that gun, and this angel-level relic could only exert its best effect when "Soul Bullets" and relic-type bullets existed.

And those three bullets were not used at all in the subsequent big events. At the end of the Battle of Fate, Xia De gave up the opportunity to merge the 【One-Hit Kill Pistol】, 【One-Hit Hit Pistol】, and 【Kindness Pistol】 into one, making its probability advance to an unknowable-level relic. Afterward, the 【One-Hit Kill Pistol】 was kept in the gift box as one of the most dangerous relics in Xia De's hands.

Luweiya ran into the hidden space just now, originally just wanting to take out the gift box to contain the out-of-control relic, but found this gun when opening it to confirm the internal situation, so there was the shooting behavior just now.

One of the three soul bullets was consumed. Even if the 【Active Metal】 was out of control, it could not withstand a blow from this top-level angel-level relic.

Luweiya put down the gift box temporarily and pointed the gun at the thing still wriggling slowly in the coffin with both hands:

"This is the first time a relic has been able to go out of control in front of an ancient god statue, right? It's fortunate that Little Mia reminded us this time. If we hadn't discovered its abnormality in time, even if it couldn't rush out of that space, it would be terrible if other relics also went out of control."

"But how did it go out of control?"

Audrey was very puzzled:

"Luweiya, did you check the containment container just now?"

"Checked, that crystal tube was broken from the inside. The container itself had no problem, as if this relic suddenly possessed the power to no longer be affected by containment measures. Xia De, you..."

Luweiya and the witches all saw Xia De bending down and reaching out to the pool of wriggling silver liquid droplets. Luweiya wanted to stop him, but thought that Xia De had always been cautious, so he shouldn't do things without certainty.

And the 【Active Metal】 indeed had a reaction to the approach of Xia De's fingers, but the impact of the shot from the 【One-Hit Kill Pistol】 was too great. This gun itself probably had the fate power of 【Destruction】 or something similar, and even demons wanted to find it to break the seal. Therefore, for an out-of-control relic, this gun was also completely fatal.

So Xia De's hand safely touched the silver liquid metal, and "She" responded almost immediately:

【Sensed "Twisted Life Spark."】

Although he guessed that this was the "Calamity of Creation," Xia De still couldn't believe it:

"Could it be that with a 'Life Spark,' this thing can go out of control in front of the ancient god statue? The superposition of relic and calamity power can suppress the power left by the ancient god?"

"She" had a gentle voice:

【I'm afraid, only the power of an ancient god can counter the power of an ancient god. This relic itself probably possesses some special properties.】

The 【Active Metal】 already had the ability to indiscriminately give metal activity under out-of-control conditions, which was very similar to the "Life Spark." But since it was determined that the problem tonight was still because of the "Life Spark," in order to prevent all metal utensils in the house from rebelling together, it absolutely could not continue to exist.

This kind of "activation" was contagious.

So Xia De told Luweiya, Megan, and Audrey, who were still vigilant, what he sensed. But for Xia De wanting to use the "Black Moon Mark" combined with the 【One-Hit Kill Pistol】 to try to completely annihilate the 【Active Metal】, they actually thought that they could seal the relic first to curb its contagiousness, rather than destroying it completely.

"Winnie said that the Life Spark can only exist in equipment infected with 'Mechanical Plague.' Once the equipment itself is damaged, the spark will soon disappear. This is a rare research opportunity for us."

This was Luweiya's view.

"Luweiya is right, and the 【Active Metal】 can actually break through the suppression of the ancient god statue. This is an extremely rare research case, and I don't think we should easily give up such a target.

Although the metal is active now, it does not have a soul. It can be taken to Fatumunster Island and contained and sealed there."

This was Megan's view, and the evidence that Megan and Audrey were actually not the product of one person's split personality, but two different souls, was reflected in Audrey's different view this time:

"Xia De, perhaps you can seek help from other existences, or let Luweiya divine a more appropriate handling method."

The wise Great Witch said, looking at the box put down by Luweiya:

"If I remember correctly, just now Megan suggested providing Weige with something more essential than blood, and then you refused, and I said 'we are not enough,' the bell at midnight had already struck.

So, it's a new Monday now, right?" ===== CHAPTER 3941 =====
