Everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction where the scream came from, and saw several people standing beside He Kui, looking at each other with stunned expressions.
"What's wrong?" Captain Chen asked, having a bad feeling.
"Captain, this man is dead."
The one who answered was a Xiuzhen police officer. They originally wanted to escort He Kui out, but when they got closer, they found that He Kui was already dead, with his head and body separated. His eyes were wide open, full of shock and astonishment, as if he had seen something unbelievable before he died.
"What? Someone is dead?" Captain Chen was stunned when he heard this.
He was just concerned with asking how to remove the petrification and didn't pay attention to He Kui's situation. When he heard about this, he hurried over to take a look, then turned his head to look at Su Mu.
Without waiting for him to ask, Su Mu said, "This man knew that his sins were grave, so after explaining the method of removing the petrification, he committed suicide out of fear of punishment."
Everyone: ...
What the hell, committing suicide out of fear of punishment, can't you be a little more thoughtful when you make excuses?
Everyone rolled their eyes and complained in their hearts.
All of He Kui's abilities were corroded by the poison, and his body was covered with magical shackles. Even moving a finger was a luxury. How could he commit suicide?
Could it be that he chanted a spell and made his head move? It's not a silk bottle!
Captain Chen frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not ask any further questions.
Because he remembered a sentence that his superior had specifically told him: "After the interrogation, no matter what happens, don't ask too many questions, just deal with the aftermath."
Could it be that the big guys above had already expected He Kui to die? Captain Chen couldn't help but wonder.
Song Yu's reaction was similar to Captain Chen's, and it seemed that he had also received similar instructions.
As for Chun Hu Yue, even if she wanted to ask, she would not open her mouth in front of so many people.
Since the three team leaders didn't say anything, others couldn't ask and could only put away their curiosity.
Captain Chen directed several Xiuzhen police officers to put He Kui's half-human corpse in a body bag and transport it out. Chun Huyue raised the bottle in her hand, patted Su Mu, and continued with the previous question: "Speaking of this, you haven't told me how to use this stone tear."
Su Mu immediately gave instructions for use: "Drop it on the eyes of the petrified person, one drop on each side."
Although those who were petrified covered their eyes with their hands, there were still gaps, and it was not difficult to drip the stone tears into them.
Chun Huyue immediately did as she was told and dripped the stone tears in the bottle onto a statue nearby.
A rustling sound immediately came from the statue, and people soon saw that the statue seemed to have been weathered for thousands of years in an instant, with countless stone skins, stone chips and stone powder falling down.
At the same time, this statue was also rapidly changing into a flesh and blood body.
A few seconds later, a thick pile of gravel fell at the feet of the statue, and he put down his hands that were covering his face, opened his eyes, and "woke up".
"Qin Zhong, how do you feel?" Song Yu hurried forward and asked while checking the man's condition.
The person whose petrification effect was lifted was Qin Zhong, the senior brother from Longhu Mountain who wanted to emulate Perseus in the previous battle.
After Qin Zhong's "awakening", he was completely confused and had no idea what happened after he was petrified. After being petrified, he seemed to have fallen into an endless abyss. It was pitch black around him, he could not see or hear anything, and his consciousness was gradually fading.
I guess when his consciousness completely dissipates, he will be completely petrified, and even the drops of stone tears will not be able to save him.
After confirming that Qin Zhong had fully recovered without any sequelae, everyone was greatly encouraged and immediately divided into two teams. One team was responsible for making stone tears, and the other team was responsible for using stone tears to restore the petrified people.
As for the task of searching the office building, it was given to the group of people who entered the building later.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, more and more petrified people were treated and recovered, including both cultivators and ordinary people.
Ordinary people were immediately sent out of the office building and isolated for investigation. Only those who were confirmed to have no connection with the School of Life would be released. The cultivators stayed after their identities were verified, and worked with everyone to create stone tears and restore the petrified people.
During this process, Liu Peng was also "awakened", and it was Su Mu who went there personally.
However, Liu Peng did not recognize Su Mu at the first time because Su Mu was under an illusion.
Liu Peng originally had an illusion on his body, but after he was petrified by the masked angel statue, the illusion effect disappeared.
But when he heard Su Mu ask "Why are you here?", he instantly recognized the voice of his good friend.
"Sumu?"
"It's me."
"You also participated in this operation? You saved me?"
Liu Peng recalled his experience of being petrified by the masked angel statue. Looking at the surrounding situation, it was clear to him what was happening.
After chatting for a few sentences, Su Mu knew the reason why Liu Peng appeared here.
After Liu Peng was admitted to Danxia Mountain Xiuzhen University, he was noticed by a teacher because of his talent in cooking. The teacher insisted on teaching him how to cook. Not only did he prepare special dishes for him and help him build a successful foundation, but he also accepted him as a disciple and became his cultivation mentor.
Liu Peng's teacher was also one of the core members of Danxia Mountain's operation, so he brought Liu Peng with him, hoping to broaden his horizons and hone his skills. Although Liu Peng had just established his foundation, his teacher was very confident that he, as a king, could easily lead him to fly. But...
"Where is your teacher?" Su Mu asked.
"Look, he's still standing there." Liu Peng raised his hand and pointed to a statue in the distance.
Then both of them fell silent.
"Su Mu, are you done over there? Come over here." Chun Hu Yue called out from a distance.
"I'm coming." Su Mu responded, then said to Liu Peng, "I'll go get busy first. When you've recovered, come and help. We can talk slowly after we finish the things here."
Liu Peng nodded and said, "I've recovered and will help you right away." After all, his teacher was still a statue next to him, so he had to quickly "wake him up."
Su Mu was busy for a while, and because he consumed a lot of spiritual energy in making stone tears, he got a chance to rest and adjust.
He found a place to sit down, took a pill of Huiling Pill, and while activating the medicinal power to replenish the consumed energy, he took out his mobile phone, opened the document sent by the drum, and checked the contents of He Kui's memory.
He Kui was originally a teacher at Jiuyi Mountain Xiuzhen University. He met a friend at an academic exchange forum. The friend showed him some papers and experimental reports on gene fusion, which aroused his interest and he couldn't stop.
And that so-called friend was actually a member of the School of Life who deliberately made friends with him.
When the time was ripe, they absorbed him into the School of Life, and through him, they stole many research results in various fields of Jiuyi Mountain Cultivation University. They even used counterfeits to exchange several divine items in the collection of Jiuyi Mountain Cultivation University.
Having done all these things, He Kui naturally did not dare to continue staying in Jiuyi Mountain Cultivation University, so he faked an accident and pretended to be dead to escape.
After returning to the School of Life Sciences, he was selected as a researcher because of his great contributions and his expertise in research and experiments, and was gradually promoted to a senior researcher.
The spider gene he fused was indeed as extraordinary as Su Mu had guessed. It was not a domestically produced exotic animal gene, but one from Roman mythology, about the spider woman Arachne, who had the upper body of a beautiful woman and the lower body of a spider, and who had the ability to devour the wills of others.
Seeing this, Su Mu raised his eyebrows slightly and pondered in his heart: "Arak? This is also a monster in mythology and legend, right? And it has disappeared from the world long ago. Where did the people of the School of Life get her genes?"
Sumu flipped through the pages and didn't see any more memory records about Arakne.
It seems that He Kui is also unclear about the origin of the Arakne gene.
However, from this point it can be seen that the School of Life Studies also has very strong influence and energy abroad.
Su Mu continued to watch and understood why He Kui could not spit out spider webs and did not have the ability to control other people's will.
Because He Kui's way of fusing genes is different from that of ordinary members of the School of Life.
Research by the School of Life Studies found that the higher the degree of one-time fusion of alien beast genes, the stronger the abilities gained, but at the same time, the greater the risk of going crazy, losing oneself and turning into a monster!
As the saying goes, high returns are often accompanied by high risks, and the same is true for gene fusion.
He Kui certainly wanted to become stronger, but he didn't want to go crazy and turn into a monster, so he chose to slowly integrate Arakne's genes, dividing the fusion process into multiple times, integrating only a little each time, and wait until his body and soul have adapted before doing the next fusion.
Although this fusion method is troublesome and the improvement it brings is slow, it is relatively safe. It is a new method that the School of Life Studies has explored after causing countless deaths over the years.
Of course, this method still has a high chance of causing people to lose their minds, go crazy, and turn into monsters.
Its security and stability are only relative.
In addition, Su Mu also saw in the records that the School of Life Studies was actually very keen on turning people into monsters.
Because that kind of monster is very valuable research material for them. Sometimes, they even deliberately release monsters produced by gene failure to test their power and survival time...
In He Kui's memory, there were many experiments in this regard that made Su Mu shudder and was deeply shocked by the arbitrariness of the School of Life.
However, after seeing these contents, Su Mu suddenly remembered something.
Since He Kui is a senior researcher in the School of Life Sciences, why is he not on the main battlefield but appears here?
Is it possible that there are some special materials in the material library here that he has to come here in person to get?
Or is there another secret hidden in this place?
