Chapter 155: Blood Demon Transforms into Mother-Child Body! The Past Self
Laboratory.
Before coming, Bai Yu thought this Li Maoshan was a strange person, perhaps messy-haired and unkempt.
Or perhaps mentally unstable.
But upon seeing him in person, he turned out to be a refined handsome guy wearing glasses!
His age seemed not much different from Li Yunbin.
Thinking about it carefully, the Li family is so large, there must be many descendants, and Li Yunbin called him Uncle.
Perhaps the age difference was less than ten years.
However, the name Li Maoshan, at first hearing, sounded like a sixty-year-old man!
Upon seeing Bai Yu, Professor Li seemed to observe him carefully, then said with a smile: “I was quite looking forward to meeting you. Now that I see you…”
He paused here.
“What is it?”
“You don’t have three heads or six arms, haha~”
“.”
From the simple interaction, Professor Li’s personality didn’t seem strange, and he appeared quite easy to communicate with.
After a simple joke, Professor Li got straight to the point: “Let’s go, let’s see the method I’ve developed so far to deal with Blood Demons. If there are any shortcomings, please offer your suggestions. I heard you have considerable achievements in scientific research.”
“Cough cough~ I’m just a martial artist, how would I understand scientific research?”
Professor Li smiled and said no more.
Through a thick pane of glass.
Ma Cheng and Yu Li could be seen confined in two rooms.
The glass seemed to be one-way, so neither of them could see Bai Yu and the others.
Professor Li Maoshan pointed to the large screen in front, which displayed what looked like infrared thermal images of the two individuals.
“The Blood Demons we’ve been researching before were parasitic in blood, constantly nourishing themselves.”
“However, this Blood Demon is parasitic in the brains of these two individuals.”
“Currently, the volume of these two Blood Demons is less than 0.1 cubic centimeters, or about 0.1 milliliters, and they do not possess self-awareness. For now, they will not affect their hosts.”
Seeing Professor Li pause and look at him, Bai Yu asked, “So, can our current method handle this?”
“Combining information from other professors, the solution I’ve finally found is to use a potion to dissolve the Blood Demon. Simply put, you can understand the Blood Demon as a special substance, and what I need to do now is to dissolve this substance through a chemical reaction.”
This explanation was naturally concise.
Even a junior high school student could understand it.
“So, we’ll experiment on these two people now and then go to He Tian Village to deal with it?”
“Yes and no. According to the information I have, you mentioned finding an accusation letter by the roadside, and it might be related to the Demon Race?”
Bai Yu nodded.
After thinking for a moment, he added, “The Demon Race is a guess. However, there are indeed hidden Demonic Creatures in He Tian Village.”
“Hmm, reporting other Alien Races, that’s something they would do at this stage.”
“The Demon Race’s intention is clearly to guide us into a direct conflict with the Vampire Clan. They are not that kind-hearted; they must have their own plans behind it.”
“If we don’t have a way to deal with Blood Demons, then even if we know there’s a trap ahead, we’ll have to step into it.”
“But now, it’s different! With this method, we can take control of the situation.”
“Of course, doing so might also align with the Demon Race’s plans. But for us now, cleaning up He Tian Village and gradually capturing the Mother of this type of Blood Demon is something we must do!”
To put it bluntly, the most brilliant plan is an open conspiracy!
After hearing this, Bai Yu hesitated and fell into a brief period of thought.
Should he tell the authorities about Tian Sheng, the demonic character?
Even if he knew of this character’s existence, he lacked the ability to use Tian Sheng as a pawn, a bait, to catch a bigger fish.
Thinking this, he didn’t hesitate and said, “In the North Village of He Tian Village, there is an intellectually disabled person named Tian Sheng who has formed a Contract with a Gluttony Demon Lord, and he also possesses abilities from the Eastern Realm of Hungry Ghosts.”
Professor Li’s eyes showed some surprise.
He then nodded; this information was not particularly important to him.
He only needed to report it.
Things like the Mother Blood Demon that could be researched were what interested him the most.
As for Li Yunbin, after hearing this, his eyes were full of drama!
He hadn’t expected that such an inconspicuous character from the village would have such a significant background.
A subordinate of Gluttony, the Realm of Hungry Ghosts!
Professor Li then spoke, “It’s time to administer the potion to them. Due to the special location of the parasitism, I cannot guarantee that there won’t be any accidents.”
“Secondly, the Blood Demons in their bodies have not yet grown. It’s also unknown if this potion will be effective on people who have been parasitized for a long time.”
“So, it’s best to remain optimistic.”
With that said, two researchers outside prepared.
When the two researchers walked in, their emotions were clearly unstable.
Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, “Why don’t we go in and communicate with them? We’re not some villainous organization…”
Professor Li considered it and nodded, “Alright.”
From this small action, Bai Yu felt that Professor Li Maoshan, who was infected by the power of corruption, did indeed have some minor issues.
Not communicating with the subjects at all, acting like a villain experimenting.
After entering the laboratory.
Bai Yu could only explain to Ma Cheng: “A monster from the Vampire Clan has been implanted in your body. However, you don’t need to worry too much, it’s only 0.1 cubic centimeters in size, and it’s a red liquid.”
“After drinking the potion, the energy dissolved by this monster can also strengthen your Physique.”
However, from Ma Cheng’s eyes, it was clear he had lost trust in Bai Yu and the others.
This scene suddenly gave Bai Yu a headache.
He felt like he was meddling too much.
Moreover, if he went into detail, it would also leak confidential information about Blood Demons.
Thinking this, Bai Yu sighed.
Ma Cheng’s heart skipped a beat!
It was like seeing a Traditional Chinese medicine practitioner’s expression suddenly change while taking a pulse.
“Um, brother! Can you tell me the truth?”
“The truth is a 99% survival rate. What if you’re the 1%?”
“…Really? Isn’t it a 99% mortality rate?”
“Currently, the only successful case of treatment I know of is one.”
“??? Brother! Then why did you lie to me about 99%?”
“Because I only treated one person, and the success rate was 100%. But nothing is absolute, so I told you 99%.”
Perhaps the atmosphere had improved, and Ma Cheng felt much more relaxed. He said, “Brother, can you stop making fun of me? Give me a straight answer, how long can I live?”
“The straight answer is what I just told you, a 0.1 cubic centimeter liquid, parasitic in the brain. We plan to clear it with a potion. The case I successfully treated had a monster volume a thousand times larger than yours.”
Ma Cheng didn’t know whether to believe him or not.
However, his emotions had indeed stabilized considerably.
About 5 minutes after the potion was injected, Ma Cheng suddenly started gagging, saying he felt dizzy.
A researcher nearby began to inquire about his condition and started recording.
After about half an hour.
All of Ma Cheng’s abnormal symptoms disappeared, and after feeling his body, he said, “I feel my eyesight has improved a lot. And my body isn’t as weak.”
Professor Li outside also gave an OK gesture.
“Haha~ Congratulations! The parasite in your body has been cleared. And the dissolved components have indeed strengthened your Physique. Now that the matter is resolved, someone will give you a more detailed explanation of the Extraordinary world later.”
“Um, brother, what kind of organization are you? Can I join you?”
“Special Investigation Bureau. As for whether you can join, that depends on future understanding. Our Extraordinary world is not as easy as in novels. After you understand it properly, you can reshape your worldview.”
Ma Cheng was currently in an excited state.
He felt like he had experienced the Extraordinary world and gained something from it, feeling a sense of Luck/fortuitous encounter.
And even if the Extraordinary world was dangerous!
In those novels, the Human Race had the advantage, right?
“I can endure hardship!”
Bai Yu smiled and shook his head, saying nothing.
He suddenly understood the perspective his Captain had when looking at him back then.
It was indeed a bit different.
Very interesting.
Ma Cheng’s personality was very different from his own, but some of his actions seemed very much like what an ordinary person like himself would do.
So he was happy to communicate.
“Okay, someone will talk to you later. I have to go handle a mission. Bye~”
“Ah? Okay, see you later! I’ll work hard.”
“Yes, see you when fate allows. Don’t call me brother next time, I’m still young.”
With that, Bai Yu left.
Behind the scenes of the laboratory.
Professor Li was clearly happy after confirming the potion’s effectiveness, a smile constantly on his face.
When Bai Yu came in, he also asked, “Are we leaving now, or should we wait until tonight?”
“We’ll wait for an important combatant and act after nightfall.”
“Important combatant?”
“Yes, someone from a mysterious organization. It’s not convenient for me to say too much.”
“Alright. Since we’re acting after nightfall, I’ll go take care of my own business first?”
“Wait a moment.”
With that, Li Maoshan took out a leather bag, and upon opening it, revealed three bottles of reagents. He said, “The first potion is for clearing Qi Gathering Realm Blood Demons. The second potion, as anticipated, can deal with Spirit Yuan Realm Blood Demons. The third cannot handle Spirit Sea Realm, but it should be able to cause interference to such individuals.”
“Take these and study them.”
Bai Yu: .
No! Do they really think I’m a researcher?
However, considering the special nature of the intelligence, it might not be bad to have some on hand?
What if a Blood Demon wants to harm me!?
Bai Yu took the items, only to hear Professor Li say, “Director Yang asked me to tell you that the He Tian Village case is just the beginning. Keep up the good work!”
“Meow Meow Meow~ Tell that old… tell Director Yang to prepare a reward! Otherwise, I’ll resign after this cultivation is complete!”
Professor Li smiled and then said, “The one we’ll likely catch this time is a secondary Mother of the Spirit Yuan Realm.”
“Um, I actually wanted to ask. Don’t they have legs? If we wait until night to act, won’t they escape?”
“We are not acting now, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t made arrangements. Escape is also within the plan. Moreover, the Vampire Clan acts in a very peculiar way; as long as it doesn’t involve their key figures, they will choose to cut off their tails to survive.”
This isn’t considered key?
Can’t we completely follow the trail and capture the Spirit Sea Realm Mother Blood Demon?
This kind of unique Blood Demon is definitely a major threat to us! And it must be very important to them, right?
Bai Yu felt that perhaps his understanding hadn’t reached that level yet.
To the Alien Gods of the Vampire Clan, they could discard their subordinates of the Spirit Sea Realm at will, right?
As long as a certain pawn achieves a certain objective, it has served its purpose, and whether it’s discarded afterward doesn’t matter.
“Alright! I hope everything goes smoothly.”
