"Then you are deliberately hiding your identity?" The Shadow Killer spread his hands, looking like "I knew you wouldn't admit it."
Xiang Fan gave up completely. He waved his hands and said helplessly, "Whatever you want to think, I'm too lazy to explain anyway."
Seeing Xiang Fan's helpless expression, Ling Ruoxi couldn't help but add insult to injury: "Shadow Killer, are you sure you're not overthinking things? Or have you been misled by watching some melodramatic immortal cultivation story?"
"Ling Ruoxi!" Shadow Killer slammed the table and jumped up. "What do you know! This is called intuition! A cultivator's intuition is very accurate!"
The atmosphere in the entire laboratory seemed extremely funny because of the Shadow Killer's imagination, but it was quickly brought back to normal by a word from the Black Tortoise Guard.
"If the power of Gu is really so strong, then when it is combined with the psychic network, will it cause an uncontrollable disaster?" Luo Tiangang said in a low voice, frowning slightly.
Ling Ruoxi also put away her smile and nodded, saying, "That's right. If this thing is used by someone with bad intentions, the entire psychic network could become a battlefield. Then not only the virtual world, but the real world would probably suffer as well."
Xiang Fan stared at the rune chain on the screen, pondered for a moment, and slowly spoke, "There's nothing wrong with powerful strength itself; the fault lies with the person who uses it. Gu Dao is taboo, but it's not unstudyable."
Ling Ruoxi looked at Xiang Fan and raised her eyebrows slightly: "You mean... we should study this kind of thing?"
"That's right." Xiang Fan nodded, his tone calm but firm. "Only by truly understanding it can we find a way to deal with it. Whether it's for defense or to prevent the abuse of this technology."
Luo Tiangang took a deep breath and said seriously, "That makes sense, but we must be careful. This thing is too dangerous. If we are not careful, the consequences may be beyond our control."
Shadow Killer whistled softly, looking at the runes on the screen with complicated eyes. "Alright, Boss, if you say so, then go ahead and do the research. We're all used to you doing earth-shattering things like this. But... don't use what you discover on us."
Xiang Fan couldn't help but chuckle, "Do you think I want to deal with you? If I really wanted to, Shadow Killer, your mecha would have become a bug nest by now."
"Damn it, boss, don't say that!" Shadow Killer sat up straight with a look of vigilance on his face.
Ling Ruoxi couldn't help but laugh, and said in a teasing tone: "Shadow Killer, why haven't you realized that the boss doesn't take you seriously at all?"
"Ling Ruoxi, stop bringing up things that are not related to the topic!" The Shadow Killer glared at her with gritted teeth.
The atmosphere in the lab calmed down again, but everyone knew the threat of the Gu hadn't truly dissipated. As the rune light pulsed, Xiang Fan's back seemed even more resolute. To the others, his presence took on a mysterious aura.
