Chapter 318: Sensing the Night Demon
Luo Guang looked at his watch. It had been dark for a while, which was the time when the Night Demon went out hunting.
In order to protect the cultural relics, there were no electric lights installed in the Harlan Temple. Electric wires were pulled directly from outside the temple, and then the floor lamps were used for lighting.
So the Harlan Temple was not completely dark.
Luo Guang forcibly opened the locked door of the ritual room, making a sound of stone cracking.
"Ah... is this considered destroying cultural relics?" Luo Guang said belatedly, talking to himself.
What surprised him was that there was no one guarding the door.
Now there was such a loud noise, but he waited for a while and no one from the Void Church came to check the situation. The entire Harlan Temple revealed a little weirdness at this moment.
When he came to the ritual room in the afternoon, he met many believers along the way.
Since he didn't know where the Virgin Mary was, he would let the other party find him.
Luo Guang walked along the way he came in, without encountering any people or zombies along the way, and came to the outside of the temple.
He looked around. The place where the believers lived was pitch black. No one turned on the lights. This situation was even more strange.
The people here live with zombies. Normally, they should not worry about being attacked by zombies. They should turn on the lights for the convenience of life.
In other words, these believers have reasons for not turning on the lights, and the biggest possibility is that there is danger.
And this danger... is coming!
Above the temple, a black shadow pounced on the person who was looking around below.
Luo Guang sensed the existence of the other party when the other party had the intention to attack.
Compared with the past, the feedback of the danger perception this time was a little different.
The body did not have the uncomfortable feeling of tingling, but instead clearly felt the enemy's location and the enemy's outline.
It was a night demon.
Perhaps this was a change caused by the emergence of mental power.
Luo Guang quickly turned around and took a few steps forward, holding a straight knife made of hardened armor in his hand and slashed at the other party.
The night demon maintained the flying posture, hit the ground, and split into two.
"It feels good." Luo Guang commented to himself.
The system also gave comparative data. The armored straight knife was 12.66% faster in forming, 6.11% faster in drawing, and 9.46% faster in overall action efficiency.
Although the improvement was not large, if it was the old him, the enemy would probably be split in half with this knife, and then fly over from both sides of him, staining himself with blood.
Of course, the new hardened armored straight knife also contributed to this, and the knife was just as sharp.
Luo Guang did not look back at the split night demon corpse, but carefully examined the straight knife in his hand.
The size, length and thickness were the same as the straight knife weapon he had ordered from the metal industry company before.
In the past, he did not have this kind of accuracy when he used the hardened armor ability to quickly make weapons.
Luo Guang smiled, and more night demons appeared around him.
There was no roar, and the night demons surrounded him tacitly.
The enemy did not launch an attack, as if waiting for something, but what did this have to do with Luo Guang?
With his feet exerting force, Luo Guang rushed straight to the position of the night demon in front.
The Night Demon had just raised his right arm to prepare for the attack, but Luo Guang had already appeared behind it and turned to rush towards another Night Demon.
The Night Demon with his right arm raised wanted to turn around and look behind him, but his waist did not react at all.
Blood oozed from his waist, faster and faster.
Then he bent his body and fell to the ground, seeing two legs standing next to him, with nothing on his waist.
The Night Demon was very tenacious, and even if he lost his legs, he still supported his body with his arms.
His internal organs fell to the ground from his body, and he turned his head to try to confirm the enemy's position, but he only saw the opponent's afterimage, and his companions were struggling in pain after being split in two.
Luo Guang stopped running and looked back at the Night Demon who was holding up his body and staring at him.
The Night Demon was the only one "standing" around him.
Finally seeing the enemy's figure, the Night Demon roared, and his arms used up the last bit of his strength to attack Luo Guang.
"You..."
A voice suddenly appeared in Luo Guang's mind, but it was soon interrupted.
He looked back at the night demon that attacked him and split it in half vertically. The voice in his mind seemed to disappear after he chopped it off.
"Is this because of the Harlan virus? But why can the night demon also use his mind to communicate?" Luo Guang looked at the other enemies around him who were struggling to learn from the night demon and said to himself.
He did not feel soft-hearted because the other party spoke. It was not the first time he encountered a "zombie" that could talk. Before, in the Tranbor Valley, he had been fighting with the blood plague zombies and became their boss.
Whether it was the blood plague zombies or the night demons in front of him, they could be said to be new species, but these problems were not what Luo Guang, a human, should think about now.
After dealing with the night demons around him, Luo Guang looked up at the high platform of the temple. The Virgin Mary appeared there, followed by a team of night demons with iron armor on their limbs and helmets showing only their eyes and mouths.
Because of the claws on their hands, those night demons could not use human weapons, so Luo Guang did not see any weapons that could threaten him.
Looking at Luo Guang below, the Holy Mother did not speak, but the voice sounded in his mind.
"You are much stronger than I thought."
Luo Guang couldn't hear the emotion contained in the words of the Virgin Mary. He tried to reply in a similar way to the hint given by the T-Veronica virus infected object before: "It's just a night demon vegetable."

"It seems that you are not an ordinary traveler." This was originally a one-way communication ability. The Virgin Mary was a little surprised that Luo Guang could use this ability not long after absorbing the Harlan virus.
But this is not beyond the scope of understanding, because the night demon can use telepathy after evolving again.
"I am just an ordinary human."
"Humph, you have inhaled the blue mist and your body has been infected by the Harlan virus. Otherwise, you can't hear my telepathy at all."
The Virgin Mary paused and continued to convey: "Although I don't know why you don't have the characteristics of the night demon, you are no longer a human. Only by joining us can you get a glimmer of hope."
"No, I am a human, from the beginning to the end." Luo Guang's answer was firm.
The air was so quiet, and the telepathic dialogue between the two sides continued. Luo Guang quickly became proficient and discovered something.
Each night demon is like a signal sending and receiving station. He does not need to see the specific location of a night demon and then locate the coordinates.
As long as there is this thought, the location of the "base station" that can receive the signal will automatically appear in the mind.
The night demons that appear in the mind now are all in the old city, so there is probably a range limit.
The principle is unknown, but this shows that the Virgin Mary can remotely control those night demons, and it is very likely that the Virgin Mary is the leader of all the night demons in Harlan City now.
"Too optimistic. Even if you are rescued from Harlan City, you have to go through the virus test of those anti-biochemical organizations. Do you think you can hide and not be discovered?"
Although Luo Guang has eliminated many of his men, the combat power of the other party alone is enough to make up for his losses, so the Virgin Mary still plans to get Luo Guang.
Now it is just a prelude. According to the Virgin Mary's previous experience, after destroying the other party's will as a human being, it is very simple to control it again, and it will not destroy the other party's IQ.
If it were not for this, the Virgin Mary would not speak to Luo Guang kindly.
Three times is more than three times, and now she has been defeated by Luo Guang for the third time.
"Yes."
Luo Guang naturally did not explain the reason, but his firm answer made the Virgin Mary feel a little difficult to deal with. The other party was stubborn.
"In that case, don't blame me for being rude. No matter who you are, you can't stop my revenge."
The so-called revenge of the other party should be something like a test subject in the research institute. In fact, in this regard, Luo Guang and the other party have the same goal.
Before, he did not propose cooperation because he did not know the other party's intention.
But when the other party was in the ritual room and he pretended to be unconscious, Luo Guang believed what the other party said.
The other party is not stupid. Since she wants to control Luo Guang, there is no need for her to say such things.
Thinking of this, Luo Guang replied: "I didn't say I would stop your revenge. Every time you attack first, I am merciful that I didn't kill you all, okay?"
He didn't expect the other party to turn against him first, even though he was the victim.
The Virgin Mary replied, "Weren't you the one who attacked my Void Priest at the beginning? You really did a good job of getting away with it."
"I was just asking questions. If you hadn't shown up, I wouldn't have killed him."
Luo Guang naturally wouldn't count this head on the other party, but what he said was also true. He had no intention of silencing him.
"But speaking of it, you don't seem to know the exact location of the institute? Then what revenge are you talking about? The biochemical crisis in Harlan City won't last too long."
He directly changed the subject.
This is also what the Virgin Mary is worried about now. She has spent most of her time on enlightenment, but she has never received any information from the institute. Instead, she has been constantly getting information about the Harlan virus.
In enlightenment, she saw various test tubes and equipment, researchers in white coats coming and going in a hurry, and experimental subjects lying on the operating table.
Even in one enlightenment, she personally performed an experiment on the experimental subject from a first-person perspective.
At this time, hearing the other party's words, the Virgin Mary could only respond with silence.
Luo Guang knew that he had hit the enemy's weak spot, so he struck while the iron was hot and said, "Relying on yourself alone, even with the Void Cult and your men behind you, you can't deal with the forces that can build a research institute under the city."
He didn't think the other party's revenge plan was a good plan, and continued, "If you want revenge, you still have to rely on the power of international official organizations such as F.B.C. or B.S.A.A.."
The Virgin Mary knew that it would be difficult to complete revenge with only her men, otherwise she wouldn't be eager to get Luo Guang, but she had her own difficulties, so she couldn't rely on anti-biochemical organizations such as F.B.C. or B.S.A.A. to complete revenge.
Sighing, the Virgin Mary took off her full-coverage mask, revealing her face inside.
There was no hair on her head, and half of the skin on her scalp fell off, revealing the blood-red muscle tissue underneath. The most important thing was that the other party's lower jaw was split in half, which was the most conspicuous symbol of the Night Devil.
"Are you a Night Devil?" Luo Guang said a little surprised.
To be precise, the Virgin Mary is a variant of the Harlan Night Devil - the Perception Night Devil.
Only the enlightened "Sons of the Sun" tribesmen who absorb a large amount of Harlan virus in a short period of time have the probability of mutating into this kind of perceptive night demon.
This kind of Night Devil has stronger physical fitness than ordinary Night Devil, and more importantly, it has the ability of spiritual will, which allows it to lead the Night Devil tribe and control those creatures infected with the Harlan virus.
Ordinary Night Devil can only communicate through the air after evolution, and cannot control other infected objects.

"That's right, so it is impossible for me to cooperate with those anti-biochemical organizations for revenge." The Virgin Mary does not want to be caught for experiments before revenge.
She instinctively does not trust those organizations.
Luo Guang looked at the other party. If the other party is a Night Devil, then the influence of the blue smoke must be known, which means that the other party knows that she is infecting those believers with the Harlan virus.
"Is your current appearance caused by the research institute? Or is it caused by the blue mist?" Luo Guang observed the other party's appearance and felt something was wrong.
Although the Virgin Mary looks very similar to those Night Devils, her skin has not fallen off completely, and she still maintains the ability to speak and reason of humans.
The Virgin Mary knew that her previous conversations with him were all half true and half false, but the other party gave her such a strange feeling that she still didn't know the other party's true purpose.
Her current situation is that there is a variable in her plan, but she feels helpless about that variable.
"Harlan virus stock solution. I was injected with the first tube of virus stock solution developed by the research institute, and then I was directly transformed from a human into a night demon."
"Is it the thing you injected me?" Luo Guang was very sure.
"Aren't you unconscious?" Blue Mist has never failed, and the Virgin Mary was surprised by this.
Luo Guang did not answer such an obvious question, and asked: "In this case, where did you get these Blue Mist stock solutions?"
"I know how to make virus stock solutions through the enlightenment of the sun god." The Virgin Mary's words made Luo Guang unable to refute.
Enlightenment can't explain this thing. Luo Guang now has mental power, but he can't predict the future.
He didn't believe in this thing before, but now that his mental power has come out, he is in a state of half-belief and half-doubt.
"If it's to destroy the institute, our goal is the same." Luo Guang didn't want to talk in a roundabout way, so he directly said his real goal.
As the night deepened, the Virgin Mary asked loudly in Luo Guang's mind: "Who are you? Do you know any information about this institute? For example, which force is behind it?"
Luo Guang noticed that the other party's temperament had changed slightly, as if he had entered a fighting posture, as if he would fight if he didn't say it.
But he had a hunch that if he couldn't give the answer the other party wanted, they might still have to fight.
"A survivor of the biochemical crisis. I just think that the F.B.C. announcement is problematic, so I came here to investigate. As for which force this Harlan City Institute is, I don't know."
The Virgin Mary did not answer, her eyes emitting a faint golden light, and launched a mental attack on Luo Guang.
She did not believe the other party's ambiguous words, but believed in her own judgment and the information she got in person.
The bloodthirstiness of the Night Demon did not have no effect on the Virgin Mary. At night, it also affected the Virgin Mary's judgment, making her more impulsive.
And this influence will become deeper and deeper. Sooner or later, she will become a monster that only knows how to kill and hunt at night.
If it weren't for the sense of danger brought by Luo Guang, she might have been impatient and attacked at the beginning.
Of course, the Holy Mother did not notice this, and she gave a "reasonable" explanation to her behavior that was inconsistent with her character.
Facing the enemy's mental attack, Luo Guang's countermeasure was very simple.
The mental power of this world needs to rely on a real carrier, so the carrier of the opponent's mental attack naturally needs the Harlan virus, so he had a countermeasure and directly blocked the reception function of the Harlan virus.
Luo Guang smiled at the Holy Mother's eyes that were emitting a faint light, and waved the straight knife in his hand like a handsome flower, and then rushed towards the Holy Mother with a shocked face.
