Victor looked down and curiously weighed the gourd in his hand.
"I didn't set it to vibrate mode, did I?"
He shook the gourd curiously and, after a thought, pulled out the stopper.
There was a soft "pop."
As soon as the stopper was removed, a thick plume of purple demonic qi shot out like a wild horse from the mouth of the gourd!
But it didn't attack anyone; instead, as if it had a clear target, it traced a sharp arc in the air and charged toward the depths of the Atlantis ruins at incredible speed!
Just a few seconds later, before Victor and the others on the deck could react, that demonic qi came flying back even faster!
It seemed to have completed some kind of "deal" in the depths of the ruins. Upon its return, it brought back a small object, which landed with a "clack" precisely in Victor's open palm.
Victor looked down, his eyes widening like copper bells!
It was a small, smooth stone clearly engraved with a dragon pattern, emitting familiar talisman energy fluctuations.
"The... dragon talisman?!"
Victor's voice cracked with disbelief.
"Just like that... I got it?!"
"This isn't just Heaven chasing me down to feed me; this is like Heaven preparing a full Manchu-Han Imperial Feast and prying my mouth open to pour it all in!"
Just as he was in shock, the Bansha demonic qi that had completed its "mission" seemed satisfied with Victor's attitude in accepting the "gift." Like a little elf that had finished its task, it circled cheerfully around Victor's head and then... "shoo," it dove straight into Victor's body!
Victor only felt a cold aura circulating through his body, finally settling in his left kidney area, making itself quite at home.
"Hey! I didn't agree to let you set up house in my body!"
Victor instinctively clutched his kidney area and protested to the air.
Then, a look of realization dawned on his face, as if he had received some kind of mental message, and he muttered to himself:
"Oh? You're saying this dragon talisman is... 'rent'? That still won't do, this is my kidney! What? Strengthening? Ahem, well, you can stay for now."
"Victor, what happened? Are you okay?"
Enid was baffled by his series of strange actions and self-muttering, and she pulled on his arm in concern.
"It's nothing, don't worry, I won't lose myself again," Victor waved his hand and explained with a relaxed look. "Besides, I just closed a small business deal; I rented out one of my kidneys for the short term."
"Huh? You... rented out your kidney?!"
Enid was completely dumbfounded, her mouth forming an 'O' shape, unable to understand this bizarre logic.
Beside her, Wednesday shook her head helplessly and rubbed her brow.
Even someone as calm as her found it impossible to keep up with Victor's cosmic black-hole-like leap in logic.
Victor ignored the kidney-renting episode and excitedly began to play with the newly acquired dragon talisman.
Following a sudden inspiration, he aimed the talisman at the only tall, lighthouse-like building in the distant Atlantis ruins that had luckily survived the previous battle.
"Dragon Blast!"
With his light shout, the pattern on the dragon talisman suddenly lit up!
A scorching, terrifyingly destructive pillar of fire, like a roaring fire dragon, erupted from the talisman, instantly crossing the vast distance and accurately striking that building!
"BOOM—!!!"
Amidst the deafening roar, that poor, sole surviving building collapsed in the violent flames, turning into a pile of rubble.
"Cool~!" Victor's eyes sparkled like stars as he watched the destruction caused by the dragon talisman, unable to put down his new toy... Meanwhile, in Hell.
Bansha's tentacle covering Curse Blue's mouth slid off weakly. She and the other demons stared blankly at the now pitch-black water mirror.
She slumped on the ground, her eyes hollow, like a broken doll.
Her treasure... her demonic qi... her dragon talisman power source... all gone.
She just wanted to be quiet now.
And don't ask who "Quiet" is.
