"Wait! Why isn't my mecha moving?!" Ling Ruochen screamed, "Boss! I'm locked up!"

On the screen, chains of insect-gu runes entangled the mecha's psychic core like a net, demonstrating its complete control. Ling Ruochen's mecha looked like an empty shell ready to collapse at any moment.

"Tsk, the effect is really good." Xiang Fan sighed in a low voice, his eyes full of satisfaction.

"Not bad at all!" Ling Ruochen was about to explode. "I can't even move a toe right now. Boss, untie me!"

The Shadow Killer watched with gusto. He simply sat up straight, slapped his thigh and laughed, "Hahaha! Boss, this program is really amazing. Brother Chen has become a decoration!"

"Shut up!" Ling Ruochen roared, but couldn't stop the Shadow Killer from laughing even more happily.

Ling Ruoxi couldn't help laughing: "Boss, this thing is too overbearing, isn't it? It doesn't give people any room to resist."

"It's quite powerful indeed." Luo Tiangang nodded as he observed the data. "The insect poison has completely controlled the core of the mecha. Its efficiency is even higher than I expected."

"Alright, alright, stop analyzing!" Ling Ruochen was about to collapse. "Boss, untie it! If you don't untie it, I'll quit the team!"

Xiang Fan's lips curled up slightly, and with a flick of his finger, the insect poison program exited, and Ling Ruochen's mecha returned to normal. Ling Ruochen breathed a sigh of relief, manipulating the mecha for a moment. After confirming that everything was fine, he immediately jumped up and complained to Xiang Fan, "Boss, this thing of yours is killing me! I felt like a puppet just now!"

"How is it? Feeling good, right?" Xiang Fan completely ignored his complaints, with obvious teasing in his tone.

"Not bad at all!" Ling Ruochen was so angry that he wanted to smash the keyboard. "Boss, this thing is so inhumane! I even doubt if using this to play in the game is cheating!"

"Cheating?" Xiang Fan shook his head, his eyes meaningful. "This is just a reasonable use of resources."

The Shadow Killer laughed heartily beside him: "Hahaha, the boss is right! Brother Chen, just admit it, it's your fault for being so unlucky!"

Ling Ruoxi covered her mouth with a chuckle and added: "But Brother Chen is indeed suitable for this experimental subject. He is flexible and it won't be embarrassing if he fails."

"You guys..." Ling Ruochen stared at his teammates on the screen with a face full of grievance, feeling like a bullied child.

After the test, several people gathered around the lab's virtual data table to discuss the power of the insect poison program. Shadow Killer spoke excitedly, "Boss, this thing is simply a magical weapon! If we use it on the battlefield, no matter how strong the opponent is, they will all be defeated!"

Ling Ruoxi shook her head. "It's indeed very powerful, but it's also because it's so powerful that it's frightening. If this thing is abused, the entire psychic network will collapse, right?"

"That's right." Luo Tiangang nodded in agreement. "The psychic network is inherently fragile. A program that can invade the core is simply a calamity-level existence."

"So, this kind of program is only safe in the hands of the Boss." Shadow Killer shrugged, his tone full of disapproval. "The Boss is always calm and composed, so there's no need to worry about it being abused."

Xiang Fan listened to their discussion, remaining silent. He stared at the insect Gu model on the screen for a long moment before speaking. "You're right. Power itself is neither good nor bad; it depends on the person who wields it. I designed this thing to better understand and defend against the threat of Gu. If I can do it, others can too. So, instead of being afraid, it's better to thoroughly understand its mechanisms."

Ling Ruoxi nodded thoughtfully: "You are right, but we must also be careful, after all, this thing is too dangerous."

Xiang Fan didn't respond, but simply watched the runes dancing on the screen. His eyes were deep and calm, as if he was pondering something larger.

Silence returned to the lab, with only the pulsing sound of rune streams echoing in his ears. The insect's rune chain continued to move across the screen, like a sleeping venomous snake, waiting to be awakened again.

Xiang Fan whispered, "There's nothing wrong with power itself, but I want to make sure it's not abused." The sound of him tapping on the keyboard was particularly clear in the quiet laboratory, and his back looked even more lonely and determined.
