Magic? My Iron Torrent will sweep it all away!

Chapter 5: I used the Great Xia as a cheat code, but the Great Xia treated me like a bug?

"I can prove it!" Lin Mo took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"I possess things from that world!"

"Something...that absolutely does not exist on Earth!"

"If I'm lying even a little bit, you can immediately locate me, send someone over, and shoot me on the spot!"

"I am willing to bear all legal consequences!"

These few sentences are like three blank bullets fired in quick succession; they have little killing power, but they make a lot of noise.

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Lin Mo could hear his heart pounding rapidly in his chest.

The operator's voice came through again, her tone now serious.

"Okay, Mr. Lin, please stay where you are and keep your phone accessible."

"We will send someone to verify your situation."

There are many madmen, but those who dare to joke with their own lives are a rare breed and deserve to be reported.

"Okay, I'll wait for you!"

Lin Mo hung up the phone, his palms sweaty.

He knew that the massive machine of the nation had begun to turn.

Whether it's a dragon or a worm depends entirely on this green "local specialty" in your palm.

He held the gem in his hand, and the cool "life force" flowed through his body, calming his trembling body slightly.

The waiting time was incredibly agonizing.

It was pitch black outside the window; night had fallen.

As temperatures drop, the streets finally regain some life, with vehicles equipped with powerful air conditioners forming the sparse veins of the city at night.

Less than twenty minutes later, there was a rapid knocking on the door.

Not the polite "knock knock knock" greeting, but "bang! bang! bang!"

Each sound seemed to strike Lin Mo's heart, filled with an irresistible force.

"They're here!"

Lin Mo walked over and turned the doorknob.

Two men in black suits stood outside the door, their expressions as cold as if they had just been taken out of a freezer.

The two men were tall and imposing, and their menacing aura made Lin Mo, a shut-in, feel suffocated.

This aura is definitely not something a community security guard can match.

One of them pulled out a wallet containing a gold-embossed national emblem and identification documents.

"National Special Operations Department, Action Team Seven, Chen Feng."

His voice, like his expression, was devoid of warmth.

"Mr. Lin Mo, we received your call. You said you had something to prove it...where is it?"

Another team member's gaze swept over his doghouse from the inside out, like an X-ray, filled with scrutiny and vigilance.

Without wasting words, Lin Mo opened his palm, revealing the emerald gem the size of a quail egg.

In the dim light of the rented room, the brilliance flowing inside the gemstone appeared particularly mysterious.

"You can experience its magic." Lin Mo tried to make his voice sound calm.

Chen Feng didn't reach out immediately. Instead, he took out a brick-sized black device from his bag and scanned the gemstone.

After a few beeps, the instrument screen lit up with a green light.

Only after confirming that there was no known type of harmful radiation did he take the gem from Lin Mo.

The moment he got his hands on it, a flicker of emotion crossed Chen Feng's perpetually icy face, and his pupils contracted slightly.

He had seen countless rare treasures, but this stone in his hand felt completely different.

It wasn't the coolness of jade, but rather a kind of... a vitality that seeped into the very marrow.

He even had the illusion that the stone contained life!

The word appeared in his mind so abruptly, utterly absurd, yet utterly fitting.

He looked up and stared intently at the ordinary-looking young man in front of him, who was covered in sweat.

When he first received this mission to "discover a new world," only two words came to his mind:

Bullshit!

Too many people have gone insane under the pressure of the apocalypse.

What new world? You've been reading too many novels.

But now, the stone in his hand is silently mocking his empiricism.

Chen Feng's expression turned extremely solemn, and he handed the gemstone to his companion beside him.

When his companion took it, his body visibly trembled, and his eyes also flashed with undisguised shock.

"Is this it?" Chen Feng turned to ask Lin Mo.

"That's it." Lin Mo nodded.

"It comes from another world."

"Get in the car."

Chen Feng didn't ask any more questions and stepped aside to make way.

Lin Mo was "invited" into a black SUV.

The driver was driving, and Chen Feng was sitting in the middle of the two people in the back seat, looking just like a suspect.

The vehicle started smoothly and silently disappeared into the night.

Chen Feng reported in a low voice into the microphone on his collar.

"Target contacted, item confirmed to be abnormal. Repeat, item exhibits abnormal behavior."

"Hmm...I understand."

After ending the call, Chen Feng turned his gaze to Lin Mo.

"Now, tell me about your 'new world'."

"Don't overlook any detail from beginning to end."

Lin Mo gathered his thoughts and began his "storytelling session".

He recounted his experiences in the other world in detail.

From the awkward first encounter with the elven girl Fendona, to the towering World Tree that pierced the sky, and then to the fierce war against the demon army.

Chen Feng and the driver listened with blank expressions the entire time.

Neither affirming nor denying.

The car remained deathly silent until Lin Mo finished speaking.

After a long silence, Chen Feng finally spoke, his voice still icy cold.

"Your story is very interesting."

"But a story is just a story."

He pointed to the gem that Lin Mo had taken back and was clutching in his hand.

"This thing is very peculiar; we will analyze it."

"But that only proves that it is peculiar, not your story."

Lin Mo's heart sank, and he frowned, saying:

"Its material composition is absolutely nonexistent on Earth!"

"This is the best proof!"

Chen Feng shook his head.

"It's also possible that you stumbled upon a special meteorite from outer space, Mr. Lin. Do you understand what I mean?"

"A stone and a complete world with intelligent life are two different concepts."

Lin Mo fell silent instantly.

Damn, professionals are professionals. One sentence from him silenced him.

"No rush, think it over first, we're almost there."

Lin Mo did not argue upon hearing this.

He knew that saying anything more now would be pointless; his only hope was that the gem itself was "beyond the scope" enough.

The vehicle did not head towards any place that looked like an official institution, but instead drove into an underground base disguised as a large logistics warehouse.

The heavy alloy door closed behind him, isolating him from the outside world.
