At this moment, Lu Xingchen’s heart was pounding wildly, but seeing the way everyone around was staring intensely at him, he quickly put on a confident face and turned slightly to say with a high hand
"See, what I said was true."
He finished speaking and opened his palm, letting the golden bracelet float in his hand.
Just when Lu Xingchen thought he had made the right judgment and everyone should be relieved, he was surprised to see that everyone’s gaze became even more astonished. The little girl Sha Sha’s eyes widened, and she looked at him with her mouth agape, able to fit an egg, in shock, she said
"Brother Huo... you..."
"Hmm?" Lu Xingchen sensed something was off, quickly glancing around, but what felt eerie to him was why people like Lin Xian, KIKI, Director Ding, Captain Chen, and Brother Lou seemed to be getting... shorter?
And when he looked down, he suddenly realized he was off the ground!
"Brother Huo is flying?" Chen Sixuan’s voice was the first to break the silence among the crowd.
Lin Xian and KIKI watched the scene in surprise. Lu Xingchen was floating lightly, just like the golden bracelet, as if he was an astronaut in space.
Lu Xingchen couldn’t hold it anymore and waved his hands like he was swimming in the air. But no matter how much he moved, he couldn’t land. Just as he was about to hit his head on the top of the carriage, he reached up, pushing himself down.
This bizarre scene left the onlookers dumbfounded.
Even Ding Junyi showed an extremely serious expression and uttered three words: "Anti-gravity?"
Although the existence of negative mass has not been ruled out in the science world, there has never been any evidence supporting the concept of anti-gravity.
But seeing Lu Xingchen’s phenomenon suddenly reminded her of this term.
Lin Xian saw that not only was Lu Xingchen unharmed by the flames, but he also floated up, and the heart he had been holding finally settled halfway. He asked Lu Xingchen, "Do you feel any discomfort?"
Feeling a bit unseemly floating in front of everyone, Lu Xingchen directly grabbed the carriage’s door panel to maintain a standing position, saying
"Brother Lin, I have not noticed any discomfort." ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ N0veI.Fiɾe.net
After speaking, he picked up the golden bracelet and handed it to Lin Xian, saying, "Brother Lin, do you want to take a look?"
Lin Xian was about to reach out when he immediately dismissed the idea. He wasn’t stupid; Brother Huo had the fire element superpower, and perhaps that’s why he was unaffected. Thinking of this, Lin Xian directly initiated a Mechanical Scan from a distance.
[Scan failed, non-mechanical energy detected.]
Lin Xian furrowed his brow, confirming that this object was indeed a taboo item, so he immediately attempted to use Mechanical Devouring. After all, his previous Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube was formed after being devoured and remodeled by the Mechanical Heart.
As soon as the devouring started, information on the devouring progress appeared before him.
[Devouring progress 10%]
[Devouring progress 30%]
[Devouring progress 50%]...
[Devouring progress 80%]...
Just as it was about to be completely devoured, Lin Xian furrowed his brows and, after some thought, stopped the devouring process.
His gaze shifted slightly, and then he looked at Lu Xingchen, saying
"Brother Huo, try exploring this thing again. If this taboo item can keep you in an anti-gravity state without any other hazards, then your fire-spitting ability might just provide you with flying assistance!"
This thought had suddenly occurred to Lin Xian earlier. The main reason he wanted to devour the Mysterious Radio before was that he couldn’t control the harm from that power of fear, and he felt it would be a pity to discard it. During the devouring, he accidentally triggered a response from the Mechanical Heart, thus obtaining the Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube.
But this golden bracelet, whether it was flames or anti-gravity, was controllable by Brother Huo. Before any safety concerns arose, Lin Xian thought this might be useful for Brother Huo!
His guess was correct. Upon hearing Lin Xian’s words, Lu Xingchen’s eyes suddenly lit up as if enlightened by a divine insight. He retracted his hand from handing over the bracelet and gazed sharply at the floating golden bracelet in his hand, thoughts spinning swiftly.
Lin Xian’s words immediately reminded him!
If this thing could keep him in an anti-gravity state, then by merely spitting fire, he could soar through the skies and traverse the earth!!
The Fire God would truly become the Fire God!!
At this moment, a vision of himself igniting and soaring through the skies, taking on an immortal-like posture, already appeared in Lu Xingchen’s mind. His heart surged with excitement, and even his breathing became heavier.
"Brother Lin is absolutely right! I shall try immediately!"
Lu Xingchen finished speaking and immediately grabbed the door panel, floating toward the direction of the automatic door of Compartment 5. Everyone else spread out and watched his actions with concern.
"Hey, doing it ... is it really okay?" KIKI frowned.
"I think Lin Xian is right, let him try," Chen Sixuan said.
Sha Sha curled her lips, arms crossed: "With his eagerness, there’s no stopping him from trying."
"Still, be careful. We know too little about these strange items," Ding Junyi said.
Da Lou and Shu Qin also nodded
"Brother Huo, be cautious."
"The speed of the train is high now, doing this rashly..." Shu Qin said cautiously.
Lin Xian looked at KIKI: "Little girl, go with him. For such things, it’s best to test out all their traits; otherwise, having it on board is unsettling."
Upon hearing this, KIKI glanced at Lu Xingchen, sighed, and said, "Alright."
At this time, the automatic door of the speeding Compartment 5 of Infinity opened, immediately letting in a gust of fierce desert wind and sand, driving away the heatwave inside the carriage.
