The unknown world in the information made Feng Qi think of the Path to Heaven.
Recalling that many experts had mysteriously disappeared in history, it seemed to prove the existence of another world.
Perhaps the source of domain creatures was another world.
Putting down the information, he continued to rummage through the documents box, trying to find other useful information.
However, after searching for a while, all he found were research materials related to biological sciences.
After a fruitless search, he left this room and went to the next.
Following that, he broke into five rooms in a row.
Most of the rooms were filled with experimental equipment and experimental data. There were no secrets of the Scarlet Research Institute that he wanted.
As he continued searching, he came to a room that stored a large amount of information.
Here, he found a document about the biological assessment of special domain creatures.
As he flipped through it, a photograph caught his attention.
The domain creature in it was Blackie, who was enveloped in black fog.
There was also a detailed analysis at the bottom of the photo.
[Black Fog (Special Domain Creature)]:
Origin: The earliest to appear in Future City, suspected to be the source of its destruction.
Introduction of abilities: It can freely reassemble its body and has an almost indestructible body. No matter how serious its injuries are, it can instantly heal. Moreover, Black Fog has an extremely strong devouring ability after switching to the fog form. It can devour all substances with energy to replenish its consumption.
Strength Rating: Shokuin (LV 4)
Weakness: Undiscovered
Characteristics: Attack all life forms in sight, including domain creatures.
[Origin Speculation: The life form of Black Fog is different from all the domain creatures recorded in the existing domain creatures database. We can’t help but guess that the black fog is very likely a special life form that was created, just like… White Pupils.]
Seeing the last sentence, Feng Qi’s pupils suddenly constricted.
This paragraph revealed a lot of information.
First, he confirmed his previous guess that the Suction Cup was created and was very likely born in the Scarlet Research Institute.
Then, he thought of the photos taken by Mo Fei. From the contact between the Suction Cup and Wei Wei, it was very likely that she had been personally created and nurtured by Wei Wei.
Therefore, the fact that the ability of the Suction Cup was extremely similar to Mu Qing’s could be explained.
Because she was Mu Qing’s clone.
At the same time, this sentence revealed an important piece of information. It was very likely that Blackie had been created.
[Whether Blackie was created or not, it can’t explain one question. Why is it hunting you?]
Hearing the narrator’s words, Feng Qi could not help but nod.
During the period which Blackie was created, his future self had been dead for countless years.
Therefore, there was clearly a big secret hidden in the reason why Blackie was able to accurately locate his location and persistently pursue him.
At the same time, a question appeared in his mind.
Are there other forces other than the Scarlet Research Institute that can create life?
Feng Qi had no way of knowing the answer to these questions for the time being.
He decided that the next time he took the undercover line, he would investigate carefully. Perhaps Wei Wei, who had lived for more than 500 years, could answer many questions for him.
He put down the document in his hand and prepared to leave the room to continue exploring.
At this moment, the narrator’s voice sounded in his mind:
[Danger warning. Discovered that an extremely dangerous creature is approaching. Do you choose to abandon the adsorption armor to save your life?]
Hearing the narrator’s notification, he turned around and saw Blackie’s figure quickly floating over from afar.
Looking at the Suction Cup in his arms, Feng Qi sighed helplessly.
“Suction Cup, I’m sorry. I’ll avenge you the next time I’m back, help me to delay it for now!”
[If I were Suction Cup, I would devour my master on the spot and jump up to punch you in the top of your skull. I’m better off without such a master. Next time, next time, next time, I’m about to develop feelings after fighting Blackie so many times.]
Feng Qi picked up the Suction Cup and threw it out without hesitation when Blackie approached.
When the Suction Cup came into contact with the black fog, she suddenly opened her eyes.
The starlight in her eyes appeared and turned into a galaxy that spun.
Then, she turned around and suddenly punched the black fog. A terrifying power instantly pierced through the black fog.
However, the black fog also healed in an extremely short period of time and quickly spread towards surface of Suction Cup.
The battle between Suction Cup and Blackie began again.
At first, Suction Cup clearly took the initiative. Her body was as agile as a rabbit as she constantly shuttled through the black fog, constantly jumping and punching.
After taking another look at Suction Cup, Feng Qi turned around and walked towards the elevator in the square.
He decided to go to the second basement level of the underground base of the Scarlet Research Institute to take a look Perhaps there would be more information he wanted there.
He walked to the elevator and pressed the inverted triangular button beside it.
At this moment, a green light appeared at the entrance of elevator and quickly swept across his body. Then, a mechanical voice sounded.
[Identification failed. Not authorized to enter!]
While feeling helpless, he immediately raised his spiked club and smashed it on the elevator.
What he did not expect was that this attack did not leave a trace on the elevator. Instead, the impact made the web between his thumb and index finger numb.
Realizing that the metal door of the elevator was also made of the same material as the secret door, a helpless expression appeared on his face.
But at least it proved that there was definitely something important on the next level.
Otherwise, the Scarlet Research Institute wouldn’t have had it so heavily guarded.
Feng Qi turned to look at Suction Cup that was fighting Blackie and decided to leave first.
If he continued to stay here, he might be affected by the battle between them and accidentally die tragically.
After taking a detour to the metal passageway, he looked back again and walked into the passageway without hesitation.
A moment later, he appeared in the abandoned hospital.
The surrounding walls had already collapsed so he moved straight through the ruins and came outside.
Next, he decided to return to the Star City Shelter to read the learning materials and store some knowledge for his future self.
Along the way, if there was a chance, he could also try to kill domain creatures to increase his strength.
Without Suction Cup to protect him, Feng Qi no longer felt safe walking in the abandoned city.
He had a nagging feeling that a domain creature would jump out at any moment and launch a sneak attack on him, so the string in his mind was tense.
Walking along the dilapidated streets, he arrived at the place where he had killed the gorilla-like domain creature.
He looked up and was surprised to find a scarlet eye lying on the dead domain creature.
At this moment, the center of the eye split open, revealing a mouth filled with sharp teeth, gnawing at the body of the dead domain creature.
As it ate, the tentacles around the blood-colored eye twisted and swayed. Coupled with the distant blood moon and the dark scene, the scene was indeed a little terrifying.
[Don’t you like long-range attacks? If you can use your mind, you won’t use your hands? Now that the opportunity to obtain “psyche power” has come knocking on your door. Kill it.]
Hearing the mocking words of the narrator, Feng Qi raised his middle finger in his heart.
‘With what? The spiked club?’
He had personally experienced the strength of the blood-colored eye. It could use psyche power to control the objects near it and wrap targets with psyche power to crush them to death.
With his current strength, charging forward was no different from tempting fate.
Even if he activated his Blood Source ability, he was not confident that he could defeat the blood-colored eye.
The best option now was to leave.
At the thought of this, he decisively prepared to escape.
However, at this moment, a loud bang came from ahead.
The ruins of the buildings that had piled up near the dead domain creature suddenly exploded.
A humanoid figure covered in flames appeared from within and pounced at the blood-colored eye.
The moment the fire tongue was about to touch the blood-colored eye, scarlet ripples appeared around it.
The surrounding gravel trembled. In an instant, the figure enveloped in flames was stopped about two meters away from it.
At this moment, the air buzzed. The flame figure was instantly pushed away and smashed heavily to the ground.
The blood-colored eye also gave up on its prey and slowly floated in the air, maintaining a safe distance from the flaming figure.
The flame figure bound by psyche power struggled with all its might at this moment. A distorted and ferocious expression appeared in the flames.
However, the blood-colored eye did not give it a chance.
As psychokinesis erupted again, the flaming figure’s body was torn apart and began to split into pieces.
Seeing the abilities displayed by the blood-colored eye, Feng Qi was extremely envious.
Relying on psyche power, it could easily fly in the air and could restrain and attack its prey with a thought. It was simply an almost omnipotent special ability.
If he could obtain psyche power, it would be much easier for him to travel in the future.
It could also make up for his shortcomings in long-range combat.
[What’s wrong with being a muscular man? Isn’t it fun to tear the enemy apart with your hands and fight like a real man? Listen to my advice. Let’s take the path of a fierce man. We don’t care for psychokinesis and elemental curse techniques. We don’t even want them for free.]
“This is called all-rounded development!”
[Stupid idea. At the peak of being a muscular man, violence can break through all monsters. There’s nothing that can’t be dealt with with one punch. If there is, then use two punches!]
“What if I encounter an enemy that’s agile or is immune to physical damage like Blackie?”
[That only proves that your muscles are not strong enough. As long as your fist is hard enough, a punch can turn molecules into atoms. Extreme physical damage will come with magic damage.]
After hearing the narrator, Feng Qi could not help but roll his eyes. Then, he turned to look at the blood-colored eye.
At this moment, the figure enveloped in flames had already been torn apart by psyche power. It turned into several fireballs that fell to the ground and continued to burn.
He had thought that this flame figure shrouded should be quite powerful. Otherwise, it would not have dared to provoke the blood-colored eye. He did not expect it to be so weak and be killed right at the beginning.
Just as Feng Qi thought that the battle was over and was about to leave, the flames scattered on the ground suddenly jumped up and pounced at the blood-colored eye.
The blood-colored eye was clearly not prepared for this. Although it used its psyche power to freeze the approaching fireball in time, it was still burned by the high temperature at close range and let out a sharp hiss.
Wherever the tongues of flames touched, blood bubbles appeared. After exploding, fresh blood flowed out.
The scorching heat dehydrated the blood-colored eyes in a short period of time, and wrinkles appeared on the surface of its body.
The blood-colored eye that had been ambushed was very angry. It activated its psyche power again. Immediately, all the fireballs were torn apart crazily, turning into countless sparks that fell to the ground and gradually extinguished.
However, the blood-colored eye did not feel good either. It slowly landed on the ground, and the tentacles on its body no longer twisted and swayed.
It seemed to have entered a special hibernation state.
Seeing this, Feng Qi, who was about to leave, could not help but look down at the spiked club in his hand.
“Narrator, can I kill this?”
[From the perspective of pure Gokudo Muscle Style, you can’t. If you kill it, you will be tainted by magical talent and will no longer be pure. I advise you to think twice..]
