"Alive? That's impossible... the magic core has been dug out... how could it be alive?" Li Xianchun felt that the old official was simply insulting his intelligence.

The corpse of this god-like demon has been here for decades. If it were alive, how could it have stayed here all this time?

Even if he didn't rush out and kill all the Li family members, he should have escaped. How could he stay here obediently for decades?

And the magic core has been dug out, how could he still be alive?

Li Xiu didn't say anything, just looked at the old official, waiting for his explanation.

The old official glanced at Li Xianchun, and then said: "According to our inspection, the light energy in this corpse is active, so it must be alive, otherwise it cannot explain why the light energy is still active."

After that, the old official looked at Li Xianchun and asked, "When you hunted this divine demon spirit, was it giving birth?"

Before this, they had not told the old official the origin of their evil spirit, nor had they told him about the evil spirit giving birth to a child.

The old official was able to find out that the evil spirit was giving birth when she was killed, which surprised Li Xianchun a little.

"Not bad." Li Xianchun nodded.

"That's right, what about the young demons it produced?" the old official asked again.

"He was taken away by the president." Li Xianchun replied.

"How many?" The old official's sudden question made Li Xianchun slightly stunned.

"Of course there is only one. A demon spirit of this level cannot give birth to too many young." Li Xianchun said truthfully.

The old official pondered and said, "According to the analysis of the existing information, this demon spirit should have bred two young. It was killed after giving birth to the first young, and the second young remained in its corpse before it was born. But the young that did not have time to give birth did not die. It continued to grow in the corpse of this demon spirit."

"What this means is that there is a young demon spirit inside the body of this demon spirit?" Li Xiu said in surprise.

"Maybe it is no longer a juvenile. After so many years, it has been absorbing the light energy from its mother. Maybe it has grown up." said the old official.

"Can you detect what level it is now?" Li Xiu asked.

"I'm afraid it's difficult to detect." The old official shook his head.

Li Xiu stared at the corpse with a frown in silence. If the young organism inside had grown to the god level, he might not be able to kill it.

The stuff is good, but if you take it back, it might become a big trouble.

"I want to take it back, what do you think?" Li Xiu asked the old official.

"Although it's a bit troublesome, we can take it back and study it." The old official said expressionlessly.

Li Xiu immediately felt relieved. He knew the old official too well. Looking at the old official's expression, he knew that he was determined to get this thing.

"In that case, thank you very much, Mr. Li." After Li Xiu finished speaking, he said to the old official, "Take the things back."

Li Xianchun's face changed constantly. If there really was a developing descendant of a divine demon spirit inside, perhaps it could be promoted to the divine level.

If we can trap it now, we can kill a divine demon spirit at a very low cost later.

If a divine gem were to be discovered, it would undoubtedly be a huge benefit to the Li family.

Even if the divine gemstone didn't drop, if some magical skills or magic spirits appeared, it would be enough to greatly increase the strength of the Li family.

But now he could only watch Li Xiu's men take away the corpse. Li Xianchun was so depressed that he almost wanted to vomit blood.

He had clearly planned everything very well, but he always seemed to suffer losses in front of Li Xiu.

Li Xiu wrote a blank note and pulled the evil spirit's corpse back.

Originally, Li Xiu wanted to take the corpse of the demon spirit to the research institute first, but after leaving the Li family, the old official came closer and whispered, "This thing must be taken to the No. 7 courtyard. It can't be left in the research institute?"

"Why?" Li Xiu asked.

"I didn't explain clearly what Li Xianchun was saying just now. The young demon spirit in the mother's body was not fully developed at the time of delivery, and had not yet cut off the connection with the mother. It regarded the mother as a part of itself. Over the years, it has merged with the mother, and the mother has really become a part of its body. It can be said that this corpse has now become a new demon spirit." The old official whispered excitedly, "Now it is a divine demon spirit, but it has not learned to fight, and it can't even move. It is a living treasure. If we kill it now, everything is possible."

Li Xiu was also overjoyed when he heard this. He already understood what the old official meant.

Everything is possible, which means it is possible to drop divine gems, magic rings, skill rings, etc.

The key is that it has no ability to resist, and killing it is much easier than killing a real god-level demon spirit.

"The research institute can't stand the trouble. Your Courtyard No. 7 has a special defense system. If there are any accidents, it can be used to withstand some of them." said the old official.

"Okay, then take it to Yard No. 7." Li Xiu nodded slightly and asked them to send the evil spirit's corpse to Yard No. 7.

After the corpse was brought to Yard No. 7, Lao Guaner and Professor Xu had some instruments brought in to re-examine the corpse.

The result was no different from what Lao Guaner and the others had predicted. It was certain that the young body had become a part of the mother body and combined with the corpse to form a new demon spirit.

However, because the young itself is not fully developed, it does not acquire various inherited abilities and knowledge. It simply relies on instinct to merge with the mother's corpse and relies on the energy of the mother's corpse to maintain its life growth.

It only knows how to absorb the energy of the mother body and knows nothing else. It is equivalent to an idiot, vegetative, god-like demon spirit.

"If we kill it now, there will be some risks." The old official analyzed: "Although it doesn't understand anything now, and doesn't even know how to drive its body to move, if it is attacked, its instinct will make it seek a way to survive. At that time, it may instinctively learn to move and fight. So if we want to kill it, it is best to get rid of it in a very short time and give it no chance to resist. Otherwise, we need to arrange some means of suppression in advance. At that time, even if it resists, we will be able to control the situation."

“I don’t have the ability to suppress a god-level demon spirit. It would be even more difficult to kill it with one strike.” Li Xiu shook his head.

Li Xiu could also get some arrangements for suppression, but whether he could suppress the gods and demons was an unknown.

"If these two methods don't work, then I have another suggestion." The old official seemed to have a plan in mind. Hearing this, he continued, "We can take a gentler approach and try to extract light energy from its body. Once the light energy in its body drops to a certain level, it will naturally lose its ability to resist, and it will be easier to control."

"Will extracting light energy cause it to develop a sense of resistance?" Li Xiu asked.

"This requires timely observation and control, and you can test it slowly from the shallow to the deep..." The old official roughly explained his plan.

"Okay, then let's do as you say." Li Xiu nodded slightly.

After getting Li Xiu's consent, the old official immediately began to make preparations.

Although the research institute does not have many of the suppression methods that the trial-takers have, it is not difficult to use technology to impose some restrictions and methods on an immobilized demon spirit.

Before starting to extract light energy, they first began to set up various instruments and machines to facilitate the control of the gods and demons.

In case something goes wrong, the evil spirit can be restricted for a period of time, giving Li Xiu time to make other plans.

Some equipment needed to be manufactured and modified, and just this took several days.

In the past few days, Li Xiu has been using various resources to improve his soul casting.

When they finished their preparations, Li Xiu was still a little worried. After discussing with Lao Guaner, he asked Lao Guaner and his men to find a way to drill a few small holes in unimportant places on the demon's body.

Ordinary materials were simply unable to leave any marks on the corpse. It was only then that Professor Xu obtained a set of drill-like tools made of divine-level materials and was able to barely make a small hole in an unimportant part of the corpse.

It took almost two days just to drill a small hole less than one centimeter deep.

After making a few small holes, Li Xiu summoned the Forbidden Gun and fired a bullet at each of the small holes.

If we let the old official and others start extracting the light energy of the evil spirits with confidence, the extracted light energy will be sent into the light energy container studied by Professor Xu.

Li Xiu looked at the demon spirit that was connected by equipment all over its body. He saw a ray of orange light being drawn out along a transparent pipe and slowly sent into the container.

It is shaped like a gas tank, but is several times larger. The upper half is transparent, and the lower half is a metal light energy container that gradually accumulates orange light.

The clusters of orange light made the container brighter and brighter. Lao Guaner and others had been paying close attention to the data on Mo Ling's instrument.

"Everything is normal... The light energy activity in the corpse is stable... Value 76... Value 75..." The researchers stared at various instruments and kept reporting the values.

The old official and Professor Xu listened to various data and gave various instructions.

Everything went smoothly, and the second pipeline also lit up, and the two pipelines worked together to extract light energy from the corpse.

Because the light energy contained in the body of the divine demon spirit is so huge, if it is extracted through only one channel, it may take a year to reduce the light energy in the demon spirit's body to the level they need.

After the second pipeline was opened, Lao Guaner and Professor Xu became a little nervous. They stared at the data and kept asking about the various values.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong, and after the second pipeline was opened for a certain period of time, the condition of the corpse remained very stable.

An hour later, Qiu Tianyu asked, "Master Guan, all the values ​​are very stable. Do you want to open the third channel?"

"Let's stop here today. For now, we'll maintain the two pipelines and observe the situation for two days." The old official wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Even he was under great psychological pressure at this moment. If he was not careful, many lives might be lost. He certainly did not dare to be careless.

Professor Xu also nodded and said, "We can't rush for success. It will take at least seven days to stabilize the two pipelines. During these seven days, you will be divided into two groups and take turns on duty. Once there is any fluctuation in the data, even a very small abnormal fluctuation, you must report it immediately. Guan Lao and I will take turns on duty."

Everyone responded and, under the command of Professor Xu, split into two groups. One group went back to rest, while the other continued to monitor the data.

Li Xiu had been watching from the side. He couldn't help much with this kind of high-tech stuff and could only watch.

The orange light emanating from the tall corpse of the demon was still very dazzling. Li Xiu was wearing the same special work clothes as the researchers to prevent his body from being affected by the orange light.

His eyes never left the demon's body. Although the data showed that everything was normal, Li Xiu felt a little uneasy.

Everything went too smoothly. Even though it was an idiot demon spirit, even an idiot should have some feelings.

No matter how stupid a person is, if blood is drawn from him, he should feel pain and fear.

But this evil spirit didn't react at all, just like a vegetable.

Li Xiu didn’t know whether the vegetative person had any feelings. He hoped that he had no feelings, and he hoped that everything would go smoothly forever.

"Chief, you should go back and have a rest first. We are watching here. If there is anything unusual, I will have someone notify you immediately." Professor Xu walked over and said.

"No need. Seven days is nothing for a trial-taker." Li Xiu planned to watch it from beginning to end. If any accidents happened, he would be able to solve them in the first time.

"This is not something that can be done in one or two days. Can you watch it for seven days? Can you watch it for a month? If you want to reduce the light energy of the divine demon spirit to an ideal level, it will take at least two months to complete even if all the pipelines are activated at the same time. Can you work without sleep for two months?" The old official walked over and said.

"My dear old sir, I feel a little uneasy. Are all the numerical values ​​really stable?" Li Xiu said thoughtfully.

"I just checked, it's very stable, without any disturbances, don't worry." said the old official.

"I feel uneasy because there is no disturbance at all. It would be good if some disturbance could be resolved by us," said Li Xiu.

Professor Xu and the old official looked at each other, and Professor Xu said, "Your worries are not unreasonable. I have the same worries. But now it is stable and there are no abnormal conditions. We can't stop now, right?"

The old official said nothing. He walked over and checked the values ​​on all the instruments. After checking them, he returned to Li Xiu and said, "All the values ​​are indeed stable, which makes me feel a little uneasy. What do you think?"

Li Xiu shook his head: "I don't have any ideas, nor have I discovered anything. I just feel a little uneasy, just a feeling."

"Uneasy is never a feeling, but something you have realized in your subconscious mind, so you feel uneasy. Since we are all a little uneasy, let's stop it first." The old official made a prompt decision and directly ordered the researchers to shut down the equipment that extracted light energy.

The two transparent pipes that transported orange light energy gradually dimmed, and finally stopped extracting light energy completely.

The staff walked over and removed the light-absorbing device connected to the demon.

The first light-absorbing device was successfully removed. When the staff were removing the second light-absorbing device, the demon's body suddenly shook.

The staff members were shocked and fell off the scaffolding. Li Xiu reacted quickly enough and came nearby in an instant. He caught the two staff members in the air, one with each hand.

When Li Xiu fell, he saw the demon's body trembling constantly, and its abdomen, which looked like orange and sapphire armor, gradually bulged up and soon became like a pregnant woman's belly.

Everyone's faces changed drastically, and the old official and Professor Xu immediately ordered everyone to activate various restraint devices.

I saw the devices that imprisoned the demon's body glowing with light, and they covered the demon's body like rainbows, or a big net woven by rainbows, enveloping the demon's body.

The demon's body was covered by a net of light, and the amplitude of its trembling became much smaller, but its bulging belly showed no signs of stopping and was still growing bigger.

The rainbow-like light above had already been squeezed into its belly, but its belly was still getting bigger.

Li Xiu immediately activated the double souls of the Evil Spirit Card, allowing the red and blue souls to merge into his body.

At the same time, the forbidden gun in the form of a Gatling gun was summoned, and a blood vine-like cast spirit also appeared on the gun.

Li Xiu pointed the forbidden spear at the evil spirit, but did not attack immediately.

"Light energy activity... 1785... 1986... 2059... Oh... Light energy activity is starting to decrease... 1987... 1682... 957... 571... 271... 168... 88... It has dropped to the normal range..."

Although all the values ​​reported by the staff began to decline and most of them had returned to normal levels, no one believed that the demon spirit had truly returned to normal.

The demon's swollen belly suddenly shrank and condensed into a strange face in the abdomen of the demon's corpse.

The face was oval in shape, much smaller than the three faces on the demon's head, and looked like a face-shaped belt buckle at the abdomen.

The little face had ears, eyes, and a mouth, but no nose. The mouth was like a clown's smile, with the sides slightly upturned.

Although there are eyes on the little face, there are no pupils. The eyes, which emit orange light, are droopy and crescent-shaped.

As the little mouth opened, the face that originally looked like a smiling face turned into a hideous face of a devil, with jagged teeth exposed in the mouth.

The arrangement of the research worked. No matter how the little face was twisted, it was trapped in the rainbow light net and it was difficult to tear it apart.

Seeing that little face rushing out, everyone in the research institute breathed a sigh of relief.

Although these restrictions cannot last for too long, it is better than having no buffer time at all.

The old official was about to say something to Li Xiu when he suddenly heard something strange.

The little face stopped twisting, and the drooping eyes stared at Li Xiu, and a strange voice uttered: "Chief, are you going to kill me?"
