Chapter 177 177. New Crack
Upon hearing this, the girl simply clenched her hands and looked at Zhong Lingfan, saying, "When I agreed to this, I was already prepared to never regret it."
"I believe Miss Administrator will also keep her promise."
Zhong Lingfan nodded: "Of course, your family and your brother, the Administration will do its best to protect them."
"Okay, go back and rest."
Zhong Lingfan patted her shoulder.
After the girl left, one of Zhong Lingfan's trusted researchers watched her calmly dive into her next research project. Hesitantly, he asked, "Professor, don't you feel lost after making such cruel decisions?"
Zhong Lingfan looked up and smiled, "A cruel decision?"
"That's right."
Let a child who is in the prime of life and has extraordinary abilities and may have a great future decide to die.
but.
"Won't."
Zhong Lingfan replied affirmatively, "As long as it's the right decision, for the sake of more people's survival, I will make it without hesitation, no matter how cruel it is."
Her current judgment is that the girl's death will be more beneficial to the war that will break out in the near future.
"What if, even if we make a cruel decision and sacrifice innocent people, we still can't save more people?"
The researcher looked a little confused. Zhong Lingfan looked at her and sighed, "Then I did everything I could."
It's better than missing the opportunity due to hesitation and soft-heartedness.
"Of course, this is just my way of doing things. You're just a researcher. You only need to follow your superiors' orders and complete the experiments at hand. Don't overthink it, and don't feel any pressure about it. After all, these are orders."
As for the pressure of issuing these orders, she can bear it, after all, she is the administrator of Yuncheng.
To date, she has made far more than just this one "cruel" decision, and this will not stop in the future. Zhong Lingfan knows very well what she is doing, but she does not think she is great. On the contrary, she often feels indebted. But even so, she will continue to make more "correct" decisions.
This is her "Tao".
When Xu Zhi came, Zhong Lingfan had just taken her knife off the laboratory table. At this moment, the knife seemed to have "calmed down", and the pattern on the blade returned to gold again. When Xu Zhi took a look at the knife, he realized that there seemed to be something extra on the knife?
It looks exactly the same on the outside, and the weight when held in the hand is the same as before.
"What did you do to it?" Xu Zhi asked curiously.
"A small change."
"After my extraordinary level was upgraded, I gained an additional extraordinary ability. I call it a contract."
Zhong Lingfan didn't hide anything: "You can gain supernatural abilities by contracting supernatural creatures or objects, or give them new supernatural abilities."
"Of course, there are certain limitations, such as my Transcendental Energy Reserve, Transcendental Level, and the opponent's Transcendental Level."
Xu Zhi probably understood what she said, so she asked, "So, what kind of supernatural power did you add to my knife?"
"That girl's extraordinary ability is the ability to sever the connection between objects and the extraordinary."
Xu Zhi was a little surprised. This is a good ability, but...
"Can you still make others sign a contract?"
Zhong Lingfan shook his head. "It requires a medium, so I first made a contract with Dao, and then with her. In short, I acted as a transit station, connecting her and Dao together."
Xu Zhi exclaimed: "Is this also possible?"
Zhong Lingfan smiled and said, "It took a lot of experiments to succeed."
And even if it succeeds, there will still be some "side effects", but there is no need to know these.
"However, her Transcendent level is much weaker than yours. When you use this ability, you need to consider how much Transcendent Energy she can afford, and try to use it at a critical moment."
The current problem with this ability is that the use of extraordinary abilities after the contract is one-sided.
When Xu Zhi used the ability of [Cutting], it was the girl herself, not Xu Zhi, who paid the extraordinary energy.
For this purpose, Zhong Lingfan set up a "valve" and used her as a "transit station" to control the amount of extraordinary energy expenditure. It would be bad if Xu Zhi was not careful and drained the girl's energy directly.
After all, under the suppression of the extraordinary level, the girl could not resist Xu Zhi's "request" at all.
"Okay, I understand." Xu Zhi nodded and put away the knife. He asked again, "The believers have already started. Have you made any preparations?"
Zhong Lingfan sighed, "I did do some work, but I'm not sure if it will be useful when the time comes. I'll just do my best and leave the rest to fate."
She had never made any "requests" to Xu Zhi. Xu Zhi thought for a moment and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with recently?"
She only asked about the recent period because she wasn't sure if she would have the energy to pay attention to anyone else once it really started.
Zhong Lingfan was quite surprised to hear this, then replied seriously, "Then please work hard to improve your strength."
As the two were talking, the ground suddenly shook slightly.
An instrument in Zhong Lingfan's laboratory made a beeping sound, and Xu Zhi looked towards the Federation as if he had sensed something.
Through the window, breaking through the fog, she saw the second beam of red light rising.
The first beam of red light was only slowly changing the environment of the Federation, but the second beam of red light had already caused some natural disasters.
As more pillars of light appear, the living environment of creatures will only become worse and worse. However, when the last pillar of light rises, the creatures in the formation no longer need to consider whether the environment is still suitable for survival.
Zhong Lingfan walked forward and carefully observed the information displayed on the screen. Then he turned off the alarm of the instrument and turned to look at Xu Zhi and said, "I have to get busy. Time is running out."
This was an order to expel the guest, but Xu Zhi didn't mind. He just nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave first."
Shortly after leaving, and shortly after the second beam of light rose, under Xu Zhi's monitoring, some strange energy fluctuations suddenly appeared in several locations in Yuncheng.
Xu Zhi immediately rushed to a place not far away. The moment she arrived, she saw a terrible scene.
In mid-air, about twenty to thirty meters above the ground, a red crack suddenly appeared in the air, as if a tiny gap had been torn in the space, or as if a closed blood-red eye was waiting for the opportunity to open.
She spent a few seconds checking the other places one by one, and found the same thing in all of them.
There is no doubt that this is a gap from "Midnight".
It seems that the plan is quite simple and crude. They directly tear cracks in many places in Yuncheng, and are sure that Xu Zhi alone cannot defend several positions, and there will always be some fish that slip through the net.
Xu Zhi smiled. It was a coincidence that her knife had just acquired new abilities. If it had happened earlier, she really wouldn't know what to do with these cracks.
