Chapter 307: Part 3

Chapter 308: Experiment: Part 3

Amid the thunderous sound, the vortex broke up and the redwood disappeared. A human figure shrouded in red light lunged out from the center of the ritual circle at Lin Sheng.

A shriek of laughter was heard in the air, and whispers ringing in Lin Sheng’s ears.

“Amoendika!” As Lin Sheng uttered another keyword, the face of the red human figure stopped mid-air, only at a distance the width of the palm of a human’s hand. Its fuzzy face contorted, giggling and staring at Lin Sheng. Its mouth squirmed as if it was making sound waves inaudible to human ears. Likewise, Lin Sheng murmured. Using the Deviltongue, he bargained with the human figure.

Time ticked away. The human figure began to lose its patience. He drew close to Lin Sheng’s face, seemingly intimidating him. But Lin Sheng was unruffled, face stern like iron and mouth still murmuring. This irritated the red human figure even more. He began growling and shrilling. Yet, Lin Sheng remained unflurried.

The red human figure finally lost it like someone flip the table in a negotiation. He lurched toward Lin Sheng, wanting this human to pay the price. Regardless of whether the deal was reached, he had to first get his own needs met.

Just as he was about to get in front of Lin Sheng, white light burst out of out nowhere. Lin Sheng’s body went up in flames in a split second, turning himself into a white human-shaped torch. Under the ferocious flame, every inch and every part of Lin Sheng’s body began to release a huge amount of concentrated holy power.

The dark spirit screamed and was about to withdraw into the circle. But Lin Sheng had grabbed its shoulder, laughing as he dragged the dark spirit out.

A violent explosion broke out in Lin Sheng’s mind. His white flame and red dark spirit clashed and annihilated each other. The ritual, the corpses in the pit, and all the materials turned into black ash and dissipated with the wind.

After a long while, when everything calmed down, raindrops as large as a bean began to fall from the night sky.

Lin Sheng came out from the pergola and walked straight toward the back door of the mansion. Seemingly out of nowhere, he found a light-red translucent bead in his hand.

…

Alas…

Melissa burped as she put the fizzy drink on the table. The patrol team was in the midst of performing a routine patrol. The team leader, Lin Sheng, smiled as he chatted with two teammates about the fun of playing cards last night. Right now, they were resting in the only pancake shop in town.

Black Bear Pancake was the only eatery that sold food palatable to them. So they usually came here to get a quick bite. The restaurant was spacious and well lit. The floor was laid with white tiles and the walls and ceiling were of stain-resistant dark yellow.

Aside from the less-than-nice design, the furnishings were of forestry style with deer and bear heads hanging on the walls. The bar counter and chairs were of log-style design. Even the cups were made of wood.

Melissa had ordered a snow pear pancake with cheese sausage. She returned to her seat with a plate of the delicacy, wolfing down the pancake with a can of carbonated drink.

As she ate, she peered at Lin Sheng with the corner of her eye. She somehow felt that since last night, this good-tempered team leader had undergone some changes. She could not tell what, but something must have happened. And she was dead sure about that.

During the mission, several girls in the team had developed an affection for their team leader. In their eyes, Lin Sheng was tall, heroic, gentle, and magnanimous. He was particularly a good listener and very a caring person. Not to mention that he was a top student in the Soul Fortress with a bright future.

So far, two girls had either secretly or openly expressed their admiration for Lin Sheng. Things were inexplicit, but as a woman, Melissa had sensed it.

“I can’t believe that a group of female monkeys is on heat!” Melissa sneered, slamming her cup on the table. She, Melissa, would never bother to mingle with these people.

Suddenly, Melissa spotted Lin Sheng glancing at her. She was transfixed for a second. She lowered her head and compressed her lips, her smirking face becoming gentle and blushed. When she looked up again, Lin Sheng had looked away.

A female teammate with a coquettish voice, wavy blonde hair, and a curvy figure came up and sat next to Lin Sheng, blocking Melissa’s sight.

Melissa squeezed the cup in her hand, her eyes stern as she gritted her teeth. “What a big-a** monkey!”

Suddenly, the restaurant door was pushed open as a teammate rushed in, his face pale.

“Captain! Something is wrong, come and see!” He hurried to Lin Sheng’s table.

Lin Sheng nodded and motioned to Melissa before he stood up and went out.

Melissa calmed her fluttering mind and got up and rushed out with the other teammates.

Something happened in the town near the end of the pine forest. An old man who got up to exercise in the morning was found dead in the parking spot reserved for courier vehicles. The body shriveled as if someone had sucked the blood dry.

When Lin Sheng arrived at the scene, a crowd had gathered in the vicinity. Someone from the defense station had also arrived and was taking photographs of the scene. Lin Sheng’s team was the only patrol squad in the town. So as soon as the officer from the defense station saw Lin Sheng, he immediately came up to him.

“Come and check it out. What the hell is going on? Jack has been exercising every morning here for the last ten years!” Henry was the director of the defense station. He was a tall black man with a wide waist and large arms. But he apparently was not in a good mood now because the dead old man did not look like he was murdered.

“Jack is a very nice man. His death is definitely not a vendetta! Absolutely not!” He kept emphasizing.

Lin Sheng comforted him. He then asked the crowd to make way as he came up and squatted before the body. With his finger pointing on the forehead of the body, dark energy permeated and circulated through the body, just as the standard investigation method written in the textbook.

“I need your help, Melissa.” Lin Sheng turned to look at her.

Melissa came to her senses, coming up to squat down beside Lin Sheng.

“I need to freeze his head,” Lin Sheng whispered.

From the Crystal Wand workshop, Melissa’s dark energy technique could make an object’s temperature drop drastically. And the effect was instant. With over 100 units of dark energy, freezing the head of a corpse was not that difficult for her. “Understood.”

While Melissa was at it, Lin Sheng started to examine other places. He had just gained new achievements last night. The last thing he wanted was more surprises.

Those professors had been in the silver mine for a very long time. Although they were sending news of their progress occasionally, it would take more time to catch the cunning mouse. That meant he could come back for the same mission again. And he needed time to conduct his experiment. If he returned to the city, there would be no place with such an ideal condition to continue his test.

The amount of blood each wildling had was more than that of an adult human. Naturally, it was a good ingredient for summoning the dark spirits. Through last night’s attempt, Lin Sheng could already purify the dark spirit with his holy power and assimilate it as part of his soul through the Energy Assimilation Point. This could be a new way for him to gain soul power and a great place for him to expand his experiments. The last thing he wanted was to have someone interrupting his work.
