"Sir, I'll pretend that I don't know about this."
After all, the captain still had some taboos, so he reminded Qin Lang that this matter could only be done by himself while he pretended not to know. This way, Qin Lang's goal would be achieved, and he would probably be able to shirk the responsibility.
"It doesn't matter," Qin Lang said. In fact, even if the captain did not agree, he could not stop Qin Lang at all.
In any case, Qin Lang had to figure out the true purpose of this mission, and Qin Lang also wanted to know why the Apocalypse Empire was going to the core area of the Milky Way.
Qin Lang entered the warehouse. All the goods in the warehouse were packed in the same box, and it was impossible to see anything from the outside. However, Qin Lang could certainly use his mental power to investigate and figure out what was in these boxes.
After investigating one by one, he did not seem to find anything unusual. They were all weapons, which made Qin Lang very puzzled.
Qin Lang was about to give up searching when he suddenly realized that he seemed to have missed a box. This was very strange because with Qin Lang's cultivation realm, it was impossible for him to make such a mistake. However, this was the truth. If not for the fact that Qin Lang clearly remembered that there should be 1,100 boxes in the warehouse, he would have overlooked this inconspicuous mistake.
Obviously, a box was' missing '. Qin Lang used his mental power to search again, and there were still only 1,090 boxes. Such a large box was indeed missing. Did this box just disappear for no reason? Or was it stolen by someone?
Qin Lang felt that it was unlikely. After all, this was a battleship sailing in space. Who could steal it without anyone noticing? If that was the case, Qin Lang would not be taken seriously.
What's more, the cargo hold was tightly sealed. If Qin Lang had not pressured the captain, he would not have been able to enter. After all, every business had its own rules, and the rule of the Titan Constellation's smuggling business was that they did not care what goods their customers were transporting. After all, they were involved in smuggling, and it was not something that could be exposed to the public.
Losing a chest for no reason was simply too strange. In fact, Qin Lang felt that this was simply impossible. After all, it was just too unimaginable.
Qin Lang searched again with his mental power, and the result was the same three times. A box was still missing.
"That's impossible!" Qin Lang thought to himself. Suddenly, he decided to count them one by one. This was of course the stupidest method, but Qin Lang felt that it was necessary because this mission was too strange. If a box was missing for no reason, it would be even stranger, and Qin Lang did not like this feeling.
"One thousand and ninety-eight … One thousand and ninety-nine … One thousand and one hundred!
Qin Lang felt that he had seen a ghost today. He counted one by one with his fingers. There were actually one thousand and one hundred boxes, not a single one missing!
"Could it be that I've seen a ghost?" Qin Lang did not expect such a thing to happen. Of course, it was impossible for him to count wrong. Absolutely impossible!
"Heavenly Calculation Jiang!" Qin Lang decided to call Heavenly Calculation Jiang out from the Kingdom of Gods. This old fellow specialized in calculation, and was very sensitive to numbers. Qin Lang decided to let him count.
Heavenly Calculation Jiang did not know why Qin Lang called him, but after hearing Qin Lang's instructions, he was very puzzled. "Master, there are only one thousand and ninety-nine boxes here. Just use your mental power to scan them."
"If it's really that simple, do you think I have nothing better to do? Why would I call you out to waste time with me? Count them one by one, be serious! "Qin Lang said.
Seeing that Qin Lang's expression was very serious, Heavenly Calculation Jiang did not dare to say more. He directly followed Qin Lang's instructions and began to count one by one. He counted very carefully.
After counting once, Heavenly Calculation Jiang finally found a problem. "Master … There's one missing, it seems like there's one missing. Let me count again."
"There's no need to count, there's indeed one missing." Qin Lang finally confirmed that there was indeed one missing, and that he was not hallucinating.
In other words, among these one thousand and one hundred boxes, there was a box that could not be sensed with mental power. Therefore, whether it was Qin Lang or Heavenly Calculation Jiang, neither could find this box with mental power.
Since Heavenly Calculation Jiang had also "seen a ghost", then Qin Lang was sure that one of the boxes might really have a "ghost".
One thousand and one hundred boxes did not seem to be a lot. Qin Lang decided to check them one by one. He did not believe that he could not find this "ghost".
Hard work paid off. Qin Lang and Heavenly Calculation Jiang worked together and really found this box.
Qin Lang put this box aside and used his mental power to explore it. Sure enough, his mental power could not sense the existence of this thing. It was as if this box did not exist at all!
It was clearly in front of him, but he could not sense it with his mental power. It was as if it did not have any "sense of existence" at all.
Qin Lang had seen many interesting and strange things in the universe, but this was the first time he had encountered such a strange thing.
However, since the box had been found, Qin Lang felt that the puzzle should be solved.
Just as he was about to open this box, Heavenly Calculation Jiang suddenly said, "Master, you can't!"
Qin Lang suddenly stopped and suppressed the strong curiosity in his heart. He stopped abruptly and asked Heavenly Calculation Jiang, "Why can't you open it?"
"There is an ominous sign in this box." Heavenly Calculation Jiang said, "Master, I just sensed it. I don't know why, but I calculated that this box cannot be opened!"
Qin Lang was now proficient in the Innate Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Technique, so he also calculated it. Just as Heavenly Calculation Jiang said, it was a great omen!
Qin Lang naturally knew the power of the Innate Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Technique. After he and Heavenly Calculation Jiang, they felt that something was wrong, so this box definitely could not be opened.
With Qin Lang's current cultivation level, something that could make him feel extreme danger was naturally really terrifying!
Moreover, Qin Lang almost fell for it because this thing could not be sensed with mental power. Qin Lang almost opened this box out of curiosity. If he really opened it, the consequences would be unimaginable!
It was said that curiosity killed the cat, but Qin Lang knew that curiosity killed people. Even Qin Lang sometimes could not hold back his curiosity, but now he had to dispel the curiosity in the bottom of his heart.
