As the group continued down, they arrived at the underground laboratory that Wang Zheng had visited earlier.
Moreover, the security is much tighter today than before.
In the spacious underground space stood dozens of solemn-looking soldiers, some of whom looked no older than Wang Zheng. They exuded a faint aura of elemental energy, sometimes scorching, sometimes explosive.
Looking around at the environment and the dozen or so non-awakened researchers busy at work, Wang Zheng asked curiously, "Professor Gu, are we going to test here today? Isn't it a bit too crowded here?"
Gu Min chuckled and joked, "If it's about targeting the Heavenly Demon, there's no safer place in the entire southern part of Jingzhou than here."
After all, demons have no physical form, and no other place can imprison them. Don't be fooled by the fact that these cages that imprison them are only a thin layer; there are several layers of spiritual energy fields in this entire basement.
Although it won't have much impact on our physical bodies, the Heavenly Demons definitely can't escape. Even if they manage to break through, even if they possess us directly, it saves us from having to conduct a second experiment. Besides, we still have you.”
Wang Zheng felt somewhat embarrassed by what was said. He knew that Professor Gu was joking, and given the military region's emphasis on the Heavenly Demon, such a problem was impossible.
Wang Zheng gathered his thoughts and then continued to ask:
"Elder Gu, what exactly is this Heavenly Demon? Can we communicate with it? Chi Bofei previously claimed to be a reincarnated being, and even said that he was the savior of Blue Star and that the world was about to perish. Are all the other people who have been discovered like this?"
Gu Min instructed the other staff to conduct the final checks before the experiment, then turned to Wang Zheng and said:
"That's not entirely true, but most people will have other memories. Over time, their self-awareness will become confused, and they will be completely devoured by the Heavenly Demon, losing themselves completely."
They can go crazy after being stimulated in some way, and Chi Bofei, whom you mentioned, is probably like that.
However, according to research from the capital, this process will take a long time and will require extensive erosion.
As for communication, the Heavenly Demon cannot communicate in its smoke form. It can communicate after possession, but whether the words spoken are the Heavenly Demon's own or just incoherent ramblings of a confused mind is unknown.
Wang Zheng felt that this so-called Heavenly Demon must have a big problem, and might even be related to his time travel, so he immediately asked, "What do you think of what Chi Bofei said about the apocalypse?"
Professor Gu Min smiled faintly, appearing very carefree.
"I don't know about that. I'm just an old man doing research, and I don't have many years left to live."
Let the government deal with these things; I'll just do some research.
However, consider this: since it's been confirmed that he's possessed by a demon, the credibility of his words is subjective.
Wang Zheng seemed somewhat disappointed after hearing this. He hadn't gotten any useful information, or rather, he hadn't received confirmation of his conjecture. However, he didn't say anything more and just nodded dejectedly.
Perhaps Wang Zheng just wanted to get some information from this expert on the Heavenly Demon to give himself some comfort.
He had thought about it carefully before, but no one could say for sure. Although Wang Zheng did not believe that Chi Bofei was really a reincarnated person, could it be that he had accidentally seen the other party's thoughts after being possessed by the Heavenly Demon?
However, since Tang Guoan and the others said they had their own plans, it's not my place to worry about it.
Wang Zheng shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and refocused his attention on the experiment.
Ignoring Wang Zheng's emotions, Gu Min continued:
"Xiao Wang, the idea you put forward earlier was very creative. I have also considered the key factors. If everything goes smoothly, this could very well be a major breakthrough for us in the field of research on celestial demons and spiritual energy."
Today is the first experiment, so we're taking it very seriously. First, we need to study the relationship between the Holy Light and the Heavenly Demon, and see if we can force the Heavenly Demon out of the human body..."
With Professor Gu Min's continuous analysis and explanation, Wang Zheng kept nodding in agreement.
He's a newbie now. Although he doesn't understand most of what Professor Gu is saying, and he's just here to play a supporting role, he still needs to show at least some respect.
Soon, a group of busy staff members had everything ready and called Wang Zheng over to take his place.
Without hesitation, Wang Zheng walked directly to the designated spot and stood there.
At this moment, the researcher who brought Wang Zheng over asked in a low voice, "Lieutenant Wang Zheng, if I may ask, how long is your spellcasting channeling time?"
This is a very personal question, and whatever Wang Zheng's answer is, it will affect him once it gets out.
However, Wang Zheng did not hesitate and replied directly: "There is no channeling time, it can be cast instantly."
The researcher's face lit up with joy.
"That would be even better. The spiritual energy cages here are designed to hinder the Heavenly Demons, so if you want to test them, you'll need to remove the first layer of cages."
But don't worry, in addition to you, there will be five elemental awakened warriors protecting you.
If you fail to subdue Ji Shibing immediately, or if the Heavenly Demon exhibits any other unusual behavior, they will be responsible for protecting your safety and eliminating the Heavenly Demon.
only……"
The researcher hesitated for a moment, then pointed to Ji Shibing lying on the ground and said:
"This demon is a rare experimental subject. If he hadn't come out of Ji Shibing's body, it would have been fine. But once he tried to escape, he would definitely have been killed."
This would waste this precious sample, so please use Holy Light to control him as soon as possible. You control the rhythm within him, please.
Seeing the other party's serious face, Wang Zheng understood the preciousness of this demon sample. He nodded solemnly and then greeted the five warriors around him.
Then I heard people starting to maintain order at the scene.
"All staff, retreat behind the second barrier. The first layer of protection is about to close. Countdown: 3...2...1!"
Ji Shibing had indeed been pretending to be asleep. The moment the pale blue spiritual energy barrier disappeared, he sprang up and rushed towards Wang Zheng and the others.
Wang Zheng's Holy Light spell had been condensed in his hand but not yet released. He casually tossed it out, but Ji Shibing easily dodged it.
"Hehehe..."
Ji Shibing was extremely pleased with himself for escaping the holy light, and let out a strange, wicked laugh. His voice was so hoarse that it seemed as if his vocal cords had completely withered.
Suddenly, the already hideous and terrifying skeletal face became even more frightening.
Just as the group of elemental warriors were about to make their move, two holy beams of light suddenly appeared out of thin air above Ji Shibing's head, instantly enveloping him completely.
His terrifying and eerie laughter stopped abruptly.
Wang Zheng muttered to himself.
"Who do you think you are? Who said that Holy Light can only be cast by me? Is this the level of intelligence of a demon?"
