"Haha, just a little trick, sorry to make Mr. Li Yun laugh."
Dr. Schmidt smiled and said, "As you can see, there are actually two 2-159s. Now the second one has been opened, and the entire seventh floor has been completely blocked."
"One hundred and thirty-two staff members, including myself, have been imprisoned here with you."
"More than a hundred of our lives are now in your hands, Mr. Li Yun!"
Dr. Schmidt joked with a smile, which made Li Yun burst into laughter and a playful smile appeared on his face.
The elite containment team 'Purple Fire', who were urgently dispatched from the sidelines, were not in the mood for such a joke.
Each of the thirteen team members was closely watching Li Yun's every move, not daring to relax at all.
Li Yun glanced at them, then turned his head and smiled at Dr. Schmidt, "Don't say it so scary, I have no intention of killing you."
"He came to this world from the world of 1-189, and he also has the title of the Devil of Destruction. If I were him, I would also treat him with caution, so I can completely understand your behavior."
Dr. Schmidt nodded and smiled, "I'm glad you understand. However, if you are really angry about what you've experienced these days, that's fine. All the staff on the seventh floor, including me, can be your targets for venting your anger..."
Hearing this, the faces of the elite containment team members nearby changed.
But then, Dr. Schmidt continued: "But if that happens, the [Unbreakable Lock] will be permanently opened, and you will not be able to leave this place."
Li Yun understood this truth without Dr. Schmidt explaining it.
He smiled faintly, took a step forward and said, "Let's go. Didn't you say you would take me to see the containment object who can tell me my origins? I have been interested in him for a long time!"
"No problem, please follow me."
Dr. Schmidt smiled, stretched out his hand, and walked in front to lead the way.
Standing next to him was the young researcher named Li An.
About five meters behind him, there were thirteen members of the elite containment team 'Purple Fire'.
Along the way, Dr. Schmidt kept talking: "You may have misunderstood one thing. 2-043, or the anomaly you mentioned, did not reveal your identity and origin. He just gave us a photo. Everything else was guessed through our own investigation."
"……oh?"
Li Yun raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li An next to him. Seeing that he had no expression, he said calmly: "Come to think of it, I haven't asked you yet, what do the numbers in front of these project numbers mean?"
Dr. Schmidt smiled and said, "It doesn't have any special meaning. It's just the region where the anomalous object was first discovered. Numbers 1 to 7 represent the seven continents on Earth, and 8 to 11 represent the four oceans."
"As for your 0, it is the most special one. It represents an independent anomaly born from an abnormal object."
"I see." Li Yun nodded thoughtfully, and then continued, "Then the numbers behind are the order in which the abnormal objects were discovered by you. I am 527. Does it mean that until I appeared, you have only contained 527 abnormal objects?"
Dr. Schmidt smiled and said, "That was indeed the case in the beginning. However, many anomalous objects were destroyed later, and many numbers became vacant. Your 527 is the smallest number that was vacated, and it does not represent the total number of anomalous objects."
...That's a bit scary!
Number 527 is not the last anomaly taken in by the Ninth Category Affairs Company, which means that the number of abnormal items they possess is extremely large, probably not much less than that of the organization in Li Yun's memory.
The two asked and answered questions, and soon arrived at another containment room on the seventh floor.
This is a metal room made purely of alloy. The room is almost completely closed, with only an alloy door connecting it to the outside world.
And this outside world is also a fully enclosed metal corridor made of alloy. There are seven alloy doors in the corridor. After entering, these seven alloy doors will open and close in sequence to maintain the closed nature of the entire containment room.
According to Dr. Schmidt, every corner of this containment room is covered with a layer of special alloy.
It is a derivative effect produced by a certain containment object in Base No. 1, called [Mind Isolation Alloy], which has a powerful force that can block all types of mental power and mind distortion.
Li Yun was very interested in this alloy.
He really wanted to test it with his spiritual sense, but unfortunately, the effect of the [Unbreakable Lock] had already been activated. His spiritual sense could only encounter the barrier created by the blocking effect on the wall, and could not sense the mind-isolating alloy itself.
After briefly reading the file numbered [2-043], Li Yun put it down and walked into the first opened alloy door with interest under the gaze of everyone.
"laugh--"
Not long after, as layers of alloy doors opened, Li Yun finally stepped into the innermost room.
There was a metal chair in the room, on which sat a red humanoid creature.
He has devil-like horns, his entire body is covered with dense red scales, he has a pair of bat wings on his back, and a red-scale tail at the tail vertebrae that is like a long steel whip.
In terms of appearance, he is exactly the same as the demon in mythology and legends.
The only difference is probably that the face is not ferocious, but rather as handsome as a male angel.
There is no doubt that he is the second humanoid anomaly taken in by the Ninth Category Affairs Company, numbered [2-043], codenamed Crimson Devil!
Compared with Li Yun, who also has a humanoid anomaly, this crimson demon looks a little too miserable.
His wrists and ankles were firmly fixed to the chair with alloy rings, and he huddled in the chair in an extremely awkward posture, like a death row inmate about to be executed by electric chair.
When Li Yun walked into the holding room, the handsome red devil looked up at him.
The next moment, a sense of distortion came from the deepest part of his soul, and even instantly activated the mental protection necklace on Li Yun.
Speaking of this, we have to mention that the mental protection necklace created by Lin Zhongtian has undergone three rounds of enhancement and iteration.
Although today's mind protection necklace is still called a necklace, it is actually a treasure that can be integrated into the soul. Its technical principle comes from the soul defense artifact in the Panlong world.
Even if the wearer's body is annihilated and only the soul remains, the mental protection effect still exists.
At the same time, the energy supply of the mind protection necklace is no longer limited to the gray fog. All energy, including Li Yun’s nuclear energy, can maintain the effect of mind protection.
Therefore, the moment the mental protection was activated, Li Yun immediately sensed the murderous intent and twisted mind power coming from the crimson demon.
He snorted coldly, and the core energy in his body surged into the mind protection artifact, transforming into an incomparably terrifying feeling of heat, which rolled back along the mind-distorting force coming from the crimson demon.
"ah!"
In just a moment, the Crimson Demon's face changed drastically.
He screamed, and his body suddenly caught fire out of thin air.
The blazing golden-red flames continued to burn his body and soul, causing him to clench his fists violently and his entire body to twitch.
Seeing this scene, Dr. Schmidt and others outside the containment room were horrified.
The 'Purple Fire' team next to them was stunned for a moment, and then showed a satisfied smile.
Obviously, they had comrades who had died at the hands of this humanoid anomaly named [Crimson Demon], so they were happy to see that the Crimson Demon was easily suppressed by the Demon King of Destruction.
Dr. Schmidt quickly turned on the microphone: "Li Yun, take it easy. There is an unpredictable and terrifying existence behind 2-043. If he dies here, no one knows what will happen!"
"Don't worry, he won't be burned to death."
Li Yun replied casually, and then looked at the burning crimson demon and said calmly, "This is just the first time. It won't happen again."
After saying this, the flames on the Crimson Demon's body gradually disappeared, and the whole person recovered from the convulsion state. Then he collapsed on the alloy chair, gasping for breath in a somewhat listless manner.
Li Yun said calmly: "Can we have a good chat now?"
“…”
The crimson demon raised his head and looked at Li Yun with strange eyes.
Then, he suddenly opened his mouth and said something in a mysterious language that humans could not understand at all.
Outside the containment room, Dr. Schmidt and others were startled for a moment, then frowned tightly.
...Here it comes!
It was also the mysterious language used by 2-043 when he had not yet learned human language.
The base once convened the world's top language experts to work together to decipher the code, but in the end there was no result. Instead, several language experts were driven crazy and turned into loyal believers of the devil.
"It's this language again..."
"Now we have to see if 0-527 [Demon King of Destruction] can understand it!"
Dr. Schmidt turned his gaze towards Li Yun in the containment room and found a look of surprise on his face. After a little thought, he actually replied in the same language.
Seeing this scene, Dr. Schmidt's pupils shrank, and he quickly turned on the microphone and said, "Li Yun, what are you talking about?"
Li Yun turned his head and glanced at the camera in the containment room, then said calmly: "Nothing, he asked me if I came from the void, and I said no."
Dr. Schmidt asked in surprise, “Can you understand?”
Li Yun chuckled and said, "Of course, this is a language derived from the language of the mind, and it comes with its own compilation system. Anyone who has some attainments in spiritual consciousness or spiritual power can easily understand and learn this language."
"To make a simple analogy, it's like reducing the multi-dimensional mental language into tones, and then reversing the mental speech..."
Everyone seemed to understand what he said, including Dr. Schmidt.
But he didn't care, he only cared about one question -
“Can we learn it?”
“…”
Li Yun raised his eyebrows and shook his head: "It's hanging!"
"And I don't recommend you learn this language because, in addition to its own compilation system, it also has a peculiar rhythmic tone, much like chanting some kind of hymn or Bible."
"Any life that has learned this language, even if it does not use it, will easily have its mind twisted and become a fanatical believer of the great terror behind the [Crimson Devil] you speak of..."
Is this true?
No wonder several experts who studied this language were driven crazy...
Dr. Schmidt stared at the screen in a daze, then seemed to remember something and asked in confusion: "Then why aren't you afraid?"
"It's very simple." Li Yun said calmly, "Because behind me, there is also an equally terrifying existence."
