Chapter 85 Experiment
Under the dim streetlight, the rookie policewoman in uniform lightly moved her index finger, seemingly about to pull the trigger of her gun.
Just when Police Chief Cohen on the ground had already given up hope for survival, the dark muzzle shifted away.
"What's the matter, need help? Jessica."
"No, Mr. Chu Feng!" Jessica shook her head gently. "I just think he might be useful for something else."
Having said that, she directly reinserted the handgun into her waistband, then flipped the old man on the ground over, ready to take out handcuffs to restrain him.
"What's this?" The strange symbol peeking out from the neck of Police Chief Cohen beneath her caught her attention.
"An inverted pentagram? There seem to be a few characters on it that I can't understand," Jessica said, confused, as she directed her gaze toward Chu Feng nearby.
"An inverted pentagram, another emblem of Satanism besides the upside-down cross, kind of like an ID badge."
After listening, Jessica's eyes shifted as if she had thought of something.
"What are you planning to do with him?" Chu Feng asked curiously as he watched Jessica handcuff the old man.
"Mr. Chu Feng, if I can crack a case of a cult invasion, I wonder if I could get promoted ahead of schedule?" Jessica's voice was flat, without any fluctuations.
"Hmm..." Chu Feng was taken aback, seeing a completely different Jessica than when he had first met her.
If it weren't for the light representing her in the star chart still being a deep green, I would have doubted whether she had turned evil. Chu Feng thought.
Meanwhile, Police Chief Cohen, lying on the ground, heard Jessica's words, and a glimmer of joy flashed through his previously despairing eyes.
A chance to live! There's a chance to survive!...
Chu Feng naturally noticed the white-haired old man on the ground regaining the gleam in his eyes as well.
"Police Chief Cohen, it seems your faith isn't all that devout after all!"
After teasing the white-haired old man lying on the ground pretending to be dead, Chu Feng said to Jessica, "There's still a flaw in your plan! If you hand him over alive to the police, your identity as a cult sacrifice might be exposed. Moreover, it also lets this cultist off too easily; after all, he might not even be sentenced to death."
Afterward, Chu Feng walked over to Police Chief Cohen, covering the man's head with his hand.
With a thought, the spiritual power that felt almost tangible instantly took a tour around the old man's brain.
After casually tossing the old man, who had completely fainted, to the side, Chu Feng then looked back at Jessica.
"This way, it's foolproof!"
"What will he become?"
"Maybe an imbecile, maybe an idiot!" said Chu Feng as he stood up, shrugging his shoulders.
"..."
Having witnessed Chu Feng's inhuman methods once again, Jessica was speechless. She silently made a firm decision in her heart: I must diligently practice the Spirit Viewing Technique.
...
At this moment, in a vast desert heartland in America, within a secret base unknown to the world.
"Experiment number 1,231, prepare!"
In a laboratory wrapped in Mystic Runes, as a hoarse command resounded, a blond man was strapped down by several researchers and taken into an enclosed chamber.
"Let me go! Damn it, F**K, let me go, you sons of b*****s!..."
The researchers, who were wrapped up tightly, paid no mind to the blond man's frantic struggles and curses. They set down the trolley and immediately hurried out of the chamber.
"Insert the Evil Spirit!"
Following another cold order, several Exorcists radiating Spiritual Power fluctuations carefully escorted a gold canister engraved with various Runes into the room.
After placing the specially made gold canister at a designated spot in the chamber, the Exorcists also quickly exited.
However, they did not leave the lab immediately. Instead, they turned back and infused their Spiritual Power into the walls of the chamber.
As the Spiritual Power was injected, the Array concealed within the walls was slowly activated, gradually enveloping the entire chamber.
Once the chamber was fully enshrouded by the Array, the Exorcists meticulously checked it several times before turning to leave the lab.
"Preparation complete, experiment number 1,231 officially begins! Proceed to the first step, release the Evil Spirit!"
The silhouette at the control console gently pressed a button.
Inside the experimental cabin, a nimble robotic arm reached over the top of the gold canister. With the operation of a specialized mechanical structure, the well-sealed gold canister was quickly opened.
As the lid above the canister was removed, a blood-red mist slowly emanated from inside it.
"Moving on to the second step of the experiment, initiate the Spiritual Body electromagnetic interference device, attempting to harmonize the electromagnetic wave frequencies of the subjects."
On the console, another button was gently pressed.
Meanwhile, several researchers who had been waiting for some time intently watched the continuously changing data on the monitor. They were ready to fine-tune the experimental devices at any moment.
Within the sealed chamber, the released Evil Spirit had already sensed the presence of the blond man.
The scattered red mist quickly gathered around the blond man and tightly enveloped him.
The mass of red mist, now resembling a living thing, extended countless red tendrils towards the blond man, who lay immobile on the experimental bed.
"Get away! Damn you! Monster, get away... Oh God, please save me!"
The blond man watched in terror as the red mist and tendrils surrounded him.
In the face of life and death, his original curses turned into pleas to God.
"Quick! Now's the time, monitor the device frequency. The subject's frequency must align with that of the Evil Spirit."
The cold commands completely ignored the cries and pleas coming from the chamber.
The few researchers, not daring to be careless in the least, kept their eyes glued to the data on the screens, not easing up for a moment.
After all, they had no desire to become subjects themselves.
As the mist progressively infiltrated the blond man's body, his cries gradually subsided until they were completely silenced.
"Now! It has to succeed!"
Dr. Lawrence, the lead researcher of America's secret base number 27, along with the other researchers outside the chamber, intently watched the blond man's reactions. All of them earnestly hoped for the success of this experiment.
Inside the experiment cabin, the blond man's body remained still for a long time. However, the restraints that bound his body tightly had vanished without a trace at some unknown point.
Time ticked away by the second, but everyone in the lab had not yet abandoned hope. On the contrary, as time passed, a faint smile began to emerge on their faces.
Everyone in the lab silently shared the same hope: It will succeed! It must!
Inside the chamber, the fingers of the blond man twitched slightly.
