Chapter 539: Decoding the Vengeful Spirit

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Interference pheromone was based on the synthesis of lifeblood and progenitor cells. The MDT indicated that the substance could influence the judgment of the First Born in a short time and wake up the original feeding mechanism of the violent creature to avoid living organisms. Obviously this was a very useful thing, especially in the event the suppression signal was interrupted—such as the transmitter is shielded, signal interference, interference pheromone could be used as an emergency tranquilizer to calm down the First Born.

The eradication of the First Born was only a last resort. Hao Ren's greatest goal was to solve the secret of the Goddess of creation by studying the First Born. Therefore, as long as there were things that could keep the First Born under control, the more the better.

"How effective are these pheromones?" Hao Ren picked up a test-tube-like container with metal caps at both ends and looked at the thin red liquid inside. "How long it lasts?"

"According to calculation, after diluting one thousand times, it still could effectively interfere with the judgment of the First Born's tentacles and blood tide until it is completely volatilized. The specific volatilization time depends on the surrounding environment. If it is injected directly into the ganglion of the First Born at the highest concentration, the First Born can be instantly paralyzed for at least twenty-four hours," said the MDT, then reminding him. "Of course, this is theoretical value deduced from the First Born samples we have collected before. We haven't conducted experiment on the living First Born."

Vivian took out a test tube and looked closely under the light. "With this thing ... and the transmitter, you have full control of the First Born. Mr. Landlord, what are you going to do in Holletta?"

Hao Ren put the test tube back. "I need a living sample of the First Born. It's better to be complete, so I'm going to move the two First Borns altogether—dig them out of the planet, move to outer space, and then build a laboratory to study them."

Everyone was shocked by what Hao Ren had just said. All of them did not expect the guy who had been idle several days at home could come out with such a plan. Y'zaks stared at Hao Ren in amazement. "Whoa, looks like I've underestimated you; what a might big idea. If I had a military strategist like you back then..."

Hao Ren waved his hand hurriedly. "Don't flatter me. Lanina would kill me for usurping her goose that lays the golden eggs."

"How are you going to dig that thing out of the planet?" Lily asked quickly. "It's no joke that the things have their tentacles implanted underground almost like a parasite on the planet."

"Of course not if it was a fully-grown First Born, like the one in Tannagost that had already spread over the entire planet. But the two remaining First Borns of Holletta obviously haven't grown yet," Hao Ren smiled wryly. "I've let the MDT scan the area around Volcano of Dusk; the First Born beneath the volcano had curled itself up into a ball before falling asleep. The size is also about 100 kilometres across around the volcano. It is said that the First Born under the giant tree of life is even smaller."

Lily grinned and said, "I don't think you can simply dig it out of the earth judging from its size. I'm good at digging holes, but there's no way to dig a hole as enormous as that."

Everyone looked at the husky with a weird expression. Cold sweat trickled down Hao Ren's forehead as he said, "No worry, I'm not asking you to dig. Let me check if there is such a large-scale construction machinery in Aerym."

Vivian immediately nodded. "Oh yeah, any of their floating islands is bigger than Holletta's First Borns."

"But before we do, we have to get the space facilities ready first. The facility must at least be larger than the two First Borns," said Nangong Wuyue. "Or else there will be no place to plant the First Borns."

Hao Ren scratched his chin. "Plant? Why did you say so?"

"What difference they've got?" said the siren girl, wagging her tail—like Lily, she liked to let her tail out to get some fresh air as long as there was no outsider present. "Isn't it essentially a hyper-large-scale transplant? The First Born is still somewhat like an animal while it's awake, but since you are all determined to give it a potion electrotherapy, it's going to be more like a vegetation."

The biggest strength of this bunch of creatures was they were wittier in thinking.

"Let me give you all a friendly reminder," the MDT chimed in. "All construction costs are reimbursable, but there is one restriction: under no circumstances the First Born is allowed to be brought to the Surface World. That thing is dangerous if it's out of control. What's more, the entangled information it carries is enough to undermine the stability of the Wall of Reality."

"The base should be in The Plane of Dreams," said Hao Ren, still scratching his chin. He already had some ideas in mind. "The probable location is there, and the 'transplantation' process is also there. Should I also learn the base design skill or what, shouldn't I?"

Hao Ren was a little taken aback when he thought of the study materials. He already hated it when was told to study a few spacecraft driving manuals earlier. Now thinking of building a space station made his flesh crawl.

Fortunately, the MDT shot him a blue ray of contempt (please don't ask how to tell the blue light means contempt). "Don't worry about designing the research base, there are experts who would handle that. Like the research system on the Petrachelys, it would be a fool-proofed operation from top to bottom. Your only task is to hang your name on the door of various buildings to ward off the evil spirits."

Hao Ren began to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that. "Good. Let me think about it and write a report to Raven. By the way, I'll have to go to New Aerym in two days and check out Helcrown."

Little girl Y'lisabet was elated. She jumped to her feet and asked to go back and showed off her T repair skill to Lanina. Hao Ren did not know whether to laugh or to cry looking at the child's behaviour: every demon princess in movies and anime looked majestic and elegant, even if they were still minors, they could rely on BGM to bring out the royal demeanour. Why this demon princess always held a screwdriver and strolled around was beyond him. She appeared much stronger when she was commanding the entire army on his dad's behalf back then.

The MDT suddenly chimed in and diverted the attention of Hao Ren away from the demon princess. "There's another progress made: the equipment used to analyse the vengeful spirit is ready, just that it's not yet certain that it can be used."

As soon as the voice of the MDT trailed off, the excited Nangong siblings spoke in unison. "Really?!"

"Really, but don't hold your breath," said the MDT with a flat, indifferent voice. "Theoretically, everything is feasible. The performance of the tester may not necessarily be reliable, and we don't even know what format the memory of the vengeful spirit is stored, and I don't know if it has a memory deletion mechanism—so don't get your hopes up too high."

In saying so, Hao Ren was trying to make it clear to Nangong Wuyue beforehand. "Calm down. Now we have just created a prototype. Since we have a vengeful spirit sample with us, we will be able to make a new decoding device if this one fails. So you let your tail off your brother, he is already suffocating."

Nangong Wuyue came to her senses and let off her brother. Nangong Sanba staggered on his feet, half-dead. "Thanks for saving my life..." said Nangong Sanba.

The MDT led everyone to a large device at the other end of the room and said, "Here it is."

The massive equipment was obviously newly manufactured, a prototype designed for a single project. It had a silver-white smooth shell without any model plate or logo, was two meters high and five to six meters wide, semi-circular overall and divided into two parts with a central axis. The two parts of the body were recessed in the central axis and formed a semi-bowl shape with tens of centimetres in diameter. Inside the semi-bowl structure were many bright, detector-like stuff, which clearly was the central command.

"The prototype didn't go through the aesthetic design process, so it doesn't look pretty." The MDT hovered over the new device. "We originally wanted to give it the most beautiful coffin-type design, but for the sake of efficiency, we just created an inner liner."

Hao Ren pulled the MDT to a side and said, "Fortunately, you've only created the liner! As if the coffins in the basement at home isn't scary enough. How to operate this device?"

The MDT flew back and pointed with a beam of light at the recess on the equipment. "See the recess? Pour the vengeful spirit into it."

Hao Ren: "Pour...into it?"

That sounded whimsical!
