Chapter 458: What are you doing?
At the same time, in an iron jungle somewhere in the Dark Forest, a strong smell of blood filled the sky. A hidden demon had no way to escape in the sword shadow and was captured by Wen Chaoxi.
Twenty taciturn black-armored demon hunters nearby imprisoned the seriously injured and struggling hidden demon in an orderly manner.
This is a demon in the Nascent Soul stage, whose combat power can reach the Mahayana stage. He can also use the environment to become invisible, and he is cunning and good at hiding. Even Wen Chaoxi accidentally let him escape twice.
Fortunately, he was caught the third time.
However, even such a powerful demon, once tamed and sealed with the demon seal, can only cultivate to the fusion stage. This is the price, and there is nothing to regret.
Wen Chaoxi used a purification technique to clean the blood-stained corners of his clothes. While doing this, he thought of the subpoena he had just received from the union and became lost in thought.
She walked aside and messaged Meng Huwan: The interesting person you told me about last time, Zhen Youqian, is the wife of Princess Jiling.
Meng Huwan came back quickly and calmly: Oh, is that so?
Wen Chaoxi was puzzled: You knew it a long time ago?
Meng Huwan seemed to be thinking about something: I don’t know, I just feel that she gives me a special and deep feeling, and her dreams must be very unique.
Meng Huwan delved into the art of dream butterflies. People's consciousness and desires always run wild in dreams. Meng Huwan can skip the physical body and directly perceive the feelings conveyed by the person's dream.
The character she described as Zhen Youqian was based on this.
When she met Zhen Youqian yesterday, she knew that anyone who had this kind of dream feedback was definitely not just a stupid and vain upstart.
Someone who works for the Jiling royal family?
Maybe.
The dream suddenly closed my eyes at night, covering up some strange color.
Wen Chaoxi said: I originally thought that Jiling and Dahuang would have no time to pay attention to this side after suffering such a big incident, but I didn’t expect that they would send people over.
Speaking of this, she remembered that incident: a few days ago, when the Jiling national disaster happened, a mysterious ghost appeared strangely and burned all the hair of Ling Yuanhan and Chu Yi's biological sister. Later, it fought with Chu Yi in the air with ease.
Wen Chaoxi's eyes were deep: Who do you think she is?
Meng Huwan smiled gently, and immediately understood what Wen Chaoxi meant: Are you trying to say, could she be a colleague in the Destiny Period who is seeking a breakthrough and taking an unconventional approach?
This guess is still very fitting. The fact that the soul exists outside for a long time is one of the strange things, and the fact that the soul body suppresses the soul cultivator Chu Yi is the second strange thing. If such a weird thing happens, it is hard not to make them associate it with the Destiny Period.
Colleagues understand each other best. If there are ten crazy people in this world, seven of them are in the destiny period.
They are trapped at the peak of the Mahayana period. The longer time passes and the closer they get to the end of their lives, the crazier some of them become, and it is not surprising that they do things that defy fate.
That ghost might be the one who was destined to take the "secret remedy".
Wen Chaoxi: I don’t know what she did to become like that.
Meng Huwan listened and suddenly added: What about her, what is Lou Yeyu doing, why has she been missing for so long?
Wen Chaoxi's breath suddenly turned cold, and his relaxed expression turned serious, but the voice of the message was still the same as usual: She is just in seclusion to seek a breakthrough. What, do you think she is missing?
Meng Huwan said with a calm smile: It's nothing, I was wrong, I meant he had been gone for so long.
Wen Chaoxi's voice deepened: The sect leader brought people back more than half a month ago, and just submitted the application to Demon Abyss. But in your mouth, he disappeared for a long time?
Her voice was unhappy, and Meng Huwan sighed: I was wrong, I was just thinking that the people from the remaining major forces should be here tonight, and it’s time for Lou Yeyu to show up.
Any later would be unacceptable.
Wen Chaoxi held his breath and said calmly: Of course she will come.
……
On the other side, Shuai Guo had already brought the people who had just had a small dispute to the first step, the test.
As soon as they entered, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
Four rows of fully enclosed silver-white prison cells stretched as far as the eye could see. Some of the cells had demons in them, and some did not.
The prison cell without demons is blank, while the prison cell with demons presents a completely different environment.
There is ice and snow, there is burning fire... there are also demons being chopped into pieces by guillotines extending from the inner wall of the prison.
These demons were convulsing in pain, their eyes were bleeding, and they were twisted and struggling.
They were wailing with their mouths open, but people outside could hear no sound.
Such a large area, but as quiet as a quiet room.
Outside every prison cell with demons, there are people wearing black armor, looking down and recording something, with serious and meticulous expressions.
Shuai Guo narrated: "The first step is to test the various physical properties and combat mechanisms of the captured demons, and record the data from these multiple tests in a unified book."
"First, we collect information about the demons and understand their strengths and weaknesses, so that we can better target and achieve twice the result with half the effort when we capture similar demons in the future."
"The second is to serve the second taming process."
“Third, it will be given away together with the instruction manual when it is sold in the future.”
What a niche user manual, Xingjun and Zhujiu thought at the same time, feeling a strong sense of nausea and discomfort in their hearts.
This is a conditioned reflex.
Zhu Jiu clenched his fingers, and pinched a white crescent into the palm of his hand with his fingertips.
"These prison cells are specially built as test containers by the top weapon refiners of the demon race. From the inside, one cannot sense the outside at all, and no matter how loud the sound is, it cannot be heard. However, from the outside, one can easily monitor all the changes in the demon race's body."
"The prison cellar can create a corresponding environment and means according to the different needs of the deduced people."
"Of course, some particularly powerful or special demons require prison cells of higher levels or with special functions. They are located deeper down."
Shuai Guo seemed to be used to it. He continued talking as usual and led the stunned people inside.
Passing by an open prison cell, a thundering demon with a charred body and electric current running through it was being dragged out by two men in black armor with their limbs blocked.
Shuai Guo said: "This is a failed product. The data of the same type of demons will not vary too much. The derivation people will start the test from the lower level of the average data. If it can't bear it, it is likely that it is congenitally ill and belongs to the disabled demon. There is no value in selling it."
Chu Yi looked at the Thunder Demon, which was no longer recognizable, and couldn't help but frown and asked, "How should we deal with them?"
Shuai Guo took a look calmly and said, "Most of the failed products are dead. Their bodies will be transported to the Scattering Room, where the useful parts will be decomposed and the rest will be burned."
Chu Yi and his companions watched the people transporting the failed products walking further and further away, and finally disappearing at the gate, all in silence.
The atmosphere was a bit heavy.
Chu Yi didn't know how to describe the contradictory feeling. He knew clearly how cruel and torturous these demons were when they killed humans, and he knew that this was a contribution to the human race, but he still felt a strange discomfort in his heart.
The discomfort intensified when he wondered if this was sympathy for the demons.
Faced with this scene, even the extremely cold-hearted Yue Shangxian and the indifferent Wen Ren Se Jue were touched.
It's like a person who is free from dust and suddenly sees erosion and mud, but knows that they are the nutrients and soil for his companions to take root and grow, so he has to accept this matter reluctantly.
For those who grew up in the clouds, the impact here is huge.
Seeing the solemn expressions on their faces, Shuai Guo raised his lips, curved his eyebrows, and slowly smiled. He said loudly, "This is a very normal thing. You may not be used to it, but you will get used to it soon."
"Exploit something, achieve something. Any thriving organization cannot escape this path before it achieves success."
Shuai Guo turned his back and continued to walk inside. His back looked pale in the white light. When he slightly tilted his face, the shadow of his eyelashes covered the color of his eyes. Only the uplifted arc of his lips could be seen.
“It is an honor to introduce the great deeds of the Demon Hunter Guild to several distinguished guests.”
"But since you're not used to it for now, let's go to the next step."
After leaving the testing process, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Ren Sejue's gaze paused vaguely on Zhu Jiu's particularly pale face.
Her face was expressionless, showing no emotion.
However, through the bond between Gemini, Waxing Moon felt a chaotic and strong emotion that exceeded the resonance threshold, so Waxing Moon could not tell what mood it was.
Yue Shangxian had never noticed such drastic emotional fluctuations in Zhu Jiu.
The last time this happened was with his sister Shuang.
Chu Yi stared at Zhu Jiu.
He is a man who does everything conspicuously and without concealment.
It was hard for Zhu Jiu to ignore it, so he tilted his head and asked him calmly, "What's the matter?"
Chu Yi looked strange, "Now something's wrong, you have something to do."
Zhu Jiu: “?”
Chu Yi thought for a moment and said, "I think it's okay so you won't ask that."
Zhu Jiu was puzzled: "...Then how should I ask?"
"I don't know." Chu Yi didn't even know why he felt that way.
Zhu Jiu: “…”
What are you doing.
……
The second step is taming, which is to weaken the demons' resistance, hostility, and murderous intent towards humans, and make them feel favorable emotions such as fear, loyalty, fear, and gratitude towards humans.
It is much milder than the test area, but there are still punitive measures in taming, the main purpose of which is to make them feel pain if they disobey orders.
Give some sweet treats to the demons who obey the orders.
After destroying their spirits, the demons were naturally tamed successfully.
The internal facilities here are similar to the first process, except that the thundering and rainstorm-like prison environment has been mostly replaced with a warm and harmonious scene, and the deducers have also changed from standing outside and watching coldly to participating in the communication closely.
Of course, defensive spiritual weapons are all worn in place to prevent the demons from suddenly attacking and hurting people.
Wen Chaoxi has invested a lot of money in preventing work-related injuries.
