Chapter 65: Spiritual Language

In the southern suburbs of Jiangcheng City, at the Federal Army Experimental Base, 30 floors underground.

Layers of lead boards surrounded a small room.

On the lead boards, there were rune arrays.

In the center of each rune array, there was a crystal the size of an egg.

These crystals were taken from the bodies of the evil demons.

They were the spoils from the of the Blackguards who were ferocious and vicious beyond compare.

They were also the best source of energy for the rune arrays.

Such a large crystal could only be formed from the bodies of demons above the rank of Major.

Following Situ He’s order, all the staff members began to withdraw.

Soon, all the staff members in the lead-lined room were withdrawn.

Following that, the heavy lead door began to close automatically.

Therefore, according to the pre-set procedure…

The camera in the lead-lined room began to charge and enter working mode.

“Zero One is ready!” The command center’s notification came through the headset.

On the screen of the command center, a corner of the lead-lined room appeared.

“Zero Two is ready!”

The camera from another angle showed that it was working normally.

“Zero Three is ready!” All the data in the lead-lined room began to appear on the big screen.

Including air humidity, composition, psionic reaction data, life signal tracking, audio recording..

Therefore, everyone stood up.

They looked at the big screen nervously.

On the screen, in a bulletproof glass cover, a talisman paper wrapped in a silk bag was quietly placed.

An obscure spiritual light flowed from the talisman paper.

That was the talisman paper that the commander of the Blackguards had personally blessed.

“Let’s begin,” Zhang Hui said softly to Situ He.

“Begin!” Situ He picked up the communicator and ordered.

Crackle crackle.

A sound appeared on the screen.

The ground split open, and a cage rose from the ground.

A huge white python was locked in the cage.

It was at least ten meters long and could weigh more than half a ton.

It was hard to imagine that such a huge python could be born in subtropical areas.

What attracted the most attention of this python was not its size, but the small horned crown that grew atop its own.

Crimson red horned crowns.

What this meant was that the animal had left the boundaries of being classified as a snake.

It had become a different kind of creature—Hui, or the Chinese poisonous snake.

It would take a snake 500 years to become a Hui, a Hui 500 years to become a jiao-dragon, and then a jiao-dragon 1000 years to become a dragon.

So this meant that the creature was already sentient.

Therefore, as soon as it appeared, it charged towards the cage with its horned crown.

Thump thump thump!

It opened its huge mouth, revealing the sharp fangs hidden in its mouth.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

It roared, demonstrating its power, as if human.

Were they in ancient times, this creature might have been worshipped by people for its huge body size and intelligence.

It would feast upon bloody food and offerings.

It would also have a stable space to grow in. Eventually, it would set off a huge flood, drowning the cities and taking millions of lives along the way as it soared into the sky to become a dragon.

Alas, it was born at the wrong time!

Huis and jiao-dragons were the top five on the Federation Empire’s Class A defense and control list.

They belonged to the category of demons that were captured after being discovered, and killed after resisting.

Ever since the recovery of the spiritual essence, the Blackguards had captured and killed more than three hundred jiao-dragons and thousands of Huis in the Empire’s rivers and lakes.

The Federation Empire’s attitude on this was very clear. “You want to drown my city and devour my people?

“Then I’ll strike first, I’ll skin you and pull out your tendons!”

Of course, if these Huis and jiao-dragons were smarter, they would take the initiative to cooperate with the Federation Empire.

They would obediently apply to the Federation’s government for a training ground.

In that case, the government would not exterminate them.

Instead, they would designate a wetland as a protected area.

They would be allowed to live in it, train, develop, and grow.

They just needed to be checked regularly by the Blackguard to make sure that they did not illegally use spells or illegally affect civilians.

Moreover, it also needed to respond to the Central Command’s recruitment order and serve the Federation Empire.

For example, the Empire’s Ocean Fisheries Department had several flood dragons that held the positions of the ‘Standing Committee of the Federation’s Ocean Fisheries Development Committee’.

A jiao-dragon with a nimble mind had even established an ocean fisheries company and become the Chairman of the Board of Directors. It earned so much money that its hands were cramping. It did not even want to return to the wetlands and so it spent its days in the imperial capital’s hedonism.

But it was clear that this White Hui was not thinking as clearly.

It was accused of 17 counts of murder, deliberately destroying the federation’s River Traffic, and public property.

In the Blackguard’s court, it was found guilty and deprived of all rights. This allowed Blackguards to deal with it freely within the framework of the Federation’s laws and regulations.

Seventeen representatives of foreign species, including the Chairman of the Jiao-Dragons, listened to its trial.

After the trial, it was transferred to the Blackguards’ demon and Foreign Species Research Institute.

To put it simply, it was to be used as an experiment.

To contribute to the development of the Federation’s Psionic Science.

“You’re courting death!” Situ he sneered and pressed a button.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The glass cover opened in all directions.

The brocade pouch left within was revealed.

A long metal arm fell from the top of the lead-lined house.

Spiritual Energy was released from its probe, which freed the talisman paper in the brocade pouch and released the magical power stored in it.

The talisman paper floated out of the brocade pouch and hovered in the air.

The sound recorded in it was also released.

It was the sound that Zhang Hui and Siti He had recorded when they stepped into the fog.

Sizzle sizzle… Crackle crackle…

At first, the background sounds were cacophonic.

Only the faint sound of footsteps could be heard.

But soon, the background sounds began to dissipate.

Because a voice came from within.

“You really kept your word, sir…”

It was the voice of the owner that was cutting through the fog.

It sounded like an easy-going young man calling out to a friend he had just met.

However…

This sentence gave off a very different feeling to the people listening.

Reading between the lines, the people had a very different interpretation of his words.

Hence, an indescribable feeling emerged from the bottom of everyone’s heart.

Situ He and Zhang Hui seemed to have the courage to stand in the vast starry sky of the universe and face the bright and gorgeous galaxy, feeling the most fundamental rules and changes of the universe.

Goosebumps rose from every part of their skin.

Their teeth, bones, and blood seemed to be affected by some kind of terrifying power.

This was even after they used all kinds of methods and tried their best to isolate most of the effects. They also used all kinds of technical methods to first convert the audio into code, and then use software to restore the results.

In the lead-lined room, Bai Hui, who was facing the sound, didn’t have so many protective measures.

In an instant, a terrifying change appeared on the Snake Demon’s body.

First, there were sarcomas that scrambled to grow out of its flesh.

But on the screen, it didn’t feel anything.

Instead, it coiled into itself and listened attentively to the voice coming from the talisman paper like a student listening to a teacher’s lecture.

“Please, take a seat…” a new voice called out.

Situ He and Zhang Hui only felt their flesh and blood squirming little by little, as if they were going to drill out of their own bodies and become new independent individuals.

But at the same time, they were undergoing new experiences.

Many questions that had been troubling them in the past…

As well as things that they had never been able to understand, it seemed like they finally had an answer at this moment.

They all felt that as long as they cultivated immediately, they would be able to achieve a breakthrough.

“I know! I know!”

A researcher wearing a white coat suddenly jumped up and shouted crazily, “So that’s how it is! So that’s how it is!”

His hair danced above his head one by one.

Terrifying, bud-like things were growing out of his hair.

However, he didn’t notice it at all.

He was still dancing crazily.

Then, another staff member raised his head and shouted with bloodshot eyes, “This is what I want…”

“This is what I’m looking for!”

“What a wonderful idea!”

“What a perfect idea!”

“This is the future of science!”

Little did he know that his skin and flesh were being deformed bit by bit.

Zhang Hui and Situ He turned a blind eye to this situation.

In their eyes, they even felt that everything was normal.

It was completely reasonable.

The two of them looked at each other.

“I understand!” Zhang Hui said, “I’ve been walking on the wrong path this whole time…”

“Me too!” Situ He also said, “how stupid and insignificant I was!”

“Now, I finally know the real truth!”

Therefore, crazy and terrifying thoughts filled the entire central control center.

Everyone fell into a fanatical and irreversible madness.

They went crazy because of the terrifying thoughts they had come into contact with, and they went crazy because of the truth they had heard about the universe.

On the screen, the white Hui immediately underwent a terrifying change.

The sarcomas that crawled out of its body rapidly expanded and tore its flesh, skin, and internal organs into pieces.

This turned it into sarcomas that squirmed crazily in the cage.

These sarcomas further distorted and turned into things not unlike slugs in the sea.

Then, these things began to fight, bite, and devour each other.

Finally, they turned into a pile of corrosive flesh and blood.

Sizzle sizzle…

The solid floor was corroded into a huge pit that was several meters deep.

At this moment.

A talisman that had been pasted on the lintel of the main control center suddenly lit up.

Then, it burned fiercely.

A small figure walked out of the fire.

He looked at all of this and sighed.

Then he looked up and whispered, “Boom!”

The small figure shattered.

It turned into little lights and surrounded the central control center.

They first cut off the signals of all the screens and the power of all the instruments, cutting off the crazy sounds.

Then the lights surrounded everyone.

Gradually, people began to wake up.

They looked around in confusion, clearly forgetting what they had just seen and heard.

“Governor…” Zhang Hui, who had woken up, looked at the dots of light around him and could not help but call out.

“You guys were too careless…” a voice came from the loudspeaker in the command center.”Fortunately, I arranged for an avatar to be here in advance. By breaking the avatar, I was able to protect all of you!”

“You mean to say…” Zhang Hui asked excitedly.

It was not easy for the Viceroy to raise an avatar.

“It doesn’t matter!” The voice in the loudspeaker said, “I’ll recuperate for half a year, and I’ll probably be able to make a full recovery!”

“Send someone to the lead room right now, and put away the talisman paper. Send it to the imperial capital’s secret vault to be sealed. I’ll deal with it when I come back!”

“Viceroy!” Zhang Hui finally remembered what had happened just now. He asked with lingering fear, “Why didn’t you just destroy it?”

“I’ve read your report…”

“The person in the mist couldn’t possibly give us a second chance to record his voice!”

“So, this is the only way we can study and understand him now…”

“Even if there’s a risk, we have to take it!”

“Moreover…” he said, “My avatar was listening just now…”

“After the assessment by my avatar…

“The voice stored in the rune paper… With the level of protection that you set up just now, ordinary people can only listen to one word at most before it gets too risky for them.

“Those ranked Major General and higher can listen to one sentence.

“And my avatar can listen to four or five sentences.

“This is a treasure trove.

“As long we can verify that it is, indeed, within the tolerance range…

“Then the Federal Empire’s psionic research and extraordinary individual strength will usher in a period of explosion!”

“So…

“Heed my order!”

“Set the master’s words in the fog as Spiritual Language’ and place it in top secret. After further research and confirmation, arrange for volunteers to begin learning…”

“Yes!” Zhang Hui immediately obeyed the order.

As a high-ranking member of the Blackguards, Zhang Hui was able to come in contact with top secrets that many people were unable to get in touch with.

Therefore, he knew that with the increase in the tide of Spirit Energy…

More and more ancient gods would awaken.

There would also be more and more unusual creatures awakening.

Under the tide of this era, if the Federal Empire wanted to continue protecting its people…

The Blackguards must remain strong!
