Chapter 61
Under the cover of night, a carriage drove silently into the residence of the Holy Spirit Medicine Society. At the same time, a small spider quietly returned to its owner.
After taking back the somewhat dirty spider, Luo Xiya, who lived next door to Jiang Zhulang, heard the noise, poked his head out, and asked, "Lan Nuo, it's so late, are you still awake?"
Jiang Zhulang nodded to Little Spider as a reply.
Luo Xiya, who was about to fall asleep, was wearing a wide robe, revealing a small part of his collarbone and chest. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, went back to his room, took out a wooden box and handed it to Jiang Zhulang, then squeezed into his room and closed the door quite naturally.
"It's so dirty." Touching the little spider with disdain, Roshia motioned him to open the wooden box, "Open it and take a look. I made the thing you mentioned."
Roshia's voice was hoarser than usual due to her sleepiness, and the lingering ending added a touch of sexiness.
Jiang Zhulang opened the wooden box, which contained ten black round beads the size of fingernails and square crystals.
"This is their control terminal." Luo Xiya pointed at the crystal cube, took Jiang Zhulang's hand and placed it on it. "Inject arcane energy into it, and you can control the recording and playback of the recording bead. It must be recharged once every month."
"We don't have enough materials, so I've only made this much for now. I'll make more when the materials I ordered arrive."
Jiang Zhulang shook his head: "No, these are just fine."
His eyes were sparkling and his smile was so full that it seemed to be overflowing. He was very happy.
Infected by his happy mood, Luo Xiya pursed her lips and chuckled.
"It's late, go to bed."
Jiang Zhulang hummed twice and nodded, his eyes fixed on the photo-taking beads without moving at all, and it was obvious that he didn't take his words to heart.
Seeing this, Luo Xia sighed helplessly, grabbed his shoulders, turned his body, and pushed Jiang Zhulang onto the soft bed.
"Go to sleep!" He pulled the quilt over Jiang Zhulang's head, as if he would not let him out unless he went to sleep.
Jiang Zhulang poked his head out from under the quilt, quickly placed the wooden box on the bedside table, and nodded. Somehow, he suddenly felt that Luo Xiya at this moment had some of the sternness of a dormitory teacher.
Roshia: "Okay, go to sleep."
After he walked out of the room, looking back every few steps, Jiang Zhulang stood up, opened the wooden box, activated the terminal, and began to study the photo beads.
Why are you sleeping? It’s only midnight. How can you waste such precious time sleeping!
After studying the photo-taking bead over and over for a while, Jiang Zhulang went out the next day with panda eyes.
Facing Roshia's accusatory gaze, he laughed awkwardly a few times.
"Lan Nuo! How could you…"
"What a coincidence, Lan Nuo, you are here, come on, I just have something to talk to you about." Jeff appeared out of nowhere, patted Jiang Zhulang's shoulder amiably, and completely ignored Luo Xia beside him.
Waving to Roshia who was staring at him with worry and dissatisfaction, Jiang Zhulang followed Jeff and entered behind the blue crystal door again.
There were a few people standing scattered inside. After Jeff's introduction, Jiang Zhulang learned that they were all Jeff's confidants and were also the most enthusiastic people about this experiment.
They were not entirely welcoming of Jiang Zhulang's joining. He could see that a few of them were obviously dissatisfied with this, but perhaps for Jeff's sake, they kept silent.
"After many experiments and improvements to the drug, three test subjects have now broken through the constraints of their species and demonstrated astonishingly powerful abilities."
Jeff crossed his hands and clapped them. Soon, several disabled and deaf-mutes came forward dragging cages made of special materials.
The sound arrives before the person arrives.
A deafening, absurd and strange roar, like a human but not a human, like a beast but not a beast, came from the cage, with a faint power to capture people's hearts. Some people with weak wills were deceived, with a trance and a longing look on their faces, muttering: "The great cause is accomplished, the great cause is accomplished hahahaha!"
He was immersed in an unknown illusion. He walked straight towards the beast cage regardless of the obstruction of the people around him. Then, the cage changed its shape and swallowed him whole.
Then, the sound of flesh and blood breaking apart and the frightening chewing could be heard.
However, the scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere and colleagues being turned into minced meat in the blink of an eye did not seem to scare people away. Instead, they were so excited that their faces turned red.
Except Jiang Zhulang.
He watched all this with extraordinary calmness, not moved at all.
Jeff clapped his hands and said, "Before this, my colleagues were conducting separate experiments and may not have known their species very well."
"Number 1 - Saka Curly"
Jeff pointed at the muscular, hairless, multi-headed, multi-armed monster. Yellow-green saliva flowed from its lips, dripping onto the ground and corroding pits.
As Martin said, there is absolutely no trace of racial characteristics.
"No. 2 - Rape Snake"
Rape snakes are a very common non-venomous snake on the continent of Nidos. They are short and thin and have no lethality. But today's rat snakes...
The three heads were split apart. Apart from the original head of the rat snake, the other two heads were obviously from different species of venomous snakes, hanging down on both sides of the body like they were grafted on. Its body was also extremely strange, with wings on its back and a poisonous hook on its tail. It looked like a combination of several different animals.
But what is truly surprising is that it actually has the ability to launch ice cones. Although the ice cones are small and soft, and have no shape, they are still shocking enough.
This seems to mean that the bright road they talk about really works.
When this thing appeared, everyone present had red eyes and gasped heavily.
Jiang Zhulang remained calm.
Jeff noticed his strangeness and said, "Lan Nuo, the great cause is about to be accomplished, why are you not excited at all? Don't you look forward to it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned around and stared at Jiang Zhulang, wishing they could use their eyes as blades to pierce him.
Jiang Zhulang just said calmly, "They are too ugly. I don't like them."
His tone was so confident and self-assured, as if he was casually discussing fashionable outfits with his friends outdoors in the sunshine, rather than facing dangerous and strange artificial monsters in a gloomy laboratory filled with strange-shaped organ bottles.
Jeff's face froze, and Jiang Zhulang continued, "I thought that the so-called bright cause should be to break through the confinement with a mortal body and ordinary appearance, rather than with this completely distorted appearance..."
Jiang Zhulang tapped his fingers lightly, moving successively over the dog-shaped monster, the snake-shaped monster, and finally the two-headed fish-faced lizard lying on the ground in the cage.
There was undisguised disgust and disgust on his face.
"What kind of success is it if it has lost its mind? To me, it's no different than the pieces of exploding mice."
Someone immediately couldn't help but retort, "What a big tone! What qualifications do you have to say these things? Where were you when we were immersed in the experiment? You just developed a miracle drug by mistake, and you dare to question our hard work?"
"Haha, the predecessor of the holy medicine is nothing but ridiculous. It is a potion for mushrooms to grow quickly. If it weren't for the boss's insight and discovery of its efficacy, I'm afraid it would still be buried in your hands! You are lucky enough to be invited to join the cause of light, but instead of feeling grateful, you are talking nonsense. Who gave you the confidence?"
Jeff still had a smile on his face. He neither objected nor supported these responsibilities, and let the situation develop.
Jiang Zhulang smiled coldly, "Yes, I joined late. I don't know how hard you worked in the past, and I don't need to know. I only know that if it weren't for the help of the holy medicine, you would still be racking your brains to increase the survival rate of the spores. How could you have such conditions to produce these three works?"
"Is this the bright cause you yearn for? Everyone here is one of the most gifted potion masters in the continent of Nidos, and your bloodline talent is also excellent. The bright cause you pursue is to become an ugly monster with an empty head but full of brute force? Or is it to master that power soberly and calmly?"
The crowd's expressions changed slightly, and a few of them looked disgusted, obviously unwilling to see themselves become like that.
Seeing this, Jeff quickly said, "Ahahaha, Lanno is right. He deserves the title of genius. Everyone, we still have a long way to go."
He changed the subject: "I called you all here today to tell you that it's time to move on to the next stage of our experiment..."
