Ryan Territory is under martial law.

This is what Night Snake noticed the moment he arrived in Ryan Territory.

The executors of the temple have not arrived yet, and these people do not seem to be rushing into action, or even taking alchemical potions to fly faster while the wind is blowing. ‘Swift Nightwing Snake’ is originally a monster of the bloodline that possesses both stealth and speed. Thunder and heavy rain cannot stop him at all, and can also cover his whereabouts.

But even so, the city of Leian, surrounded by a sea of ​​flowers, fell into panic. The city that was supposed to be under curfew was now brightly lit, especially the baron's castle. The home of their 'experimental target' was even surrounded by balls of fire, making people accustomed to immersed in He felt a little uncomfortable in the darkness.

--What happened?

With such doubts, Ye Snake, who was unwilling to reveal his identity, hid his whereabouts and floated in the air along the rain curtain. His black carapace absorbed all the light and noise, making his figure even more silent.

Then, he saw the nun Yingguang from the Huaiguang Church negotiating with a tired old man with white hair and many city guards and people's leaders gathered around the baron's castle.

The junior sister who is the executor of the temple, ‘Redemption’, she did track down the disappearance case all the way, but found the target so quickly?

Moreover, isn't the old guy next to him Baron Ryan's steward Moda?

Could it be that the steward broke away from the memory overwriting and ran to tell the nun the truth? ! But how is this possible? With Moda's mental power, how can he break through the brainwashing of psychics!

"Wait, where is Baron Ryan? And the four experimental subjects?"

Uneasy emotions surged in his heart, and Ye Snake suddenly felt something bad. He also understood the reason why the Huaiguang Church sent two temple executors to come to Leian to take over: "Could Baron Leian have separated from the experimental subject?" Planned to leave the castle, and this little nun happened to break into the castle and found traces of the experiment?!"

"What a coincidence!"

Soon, his suspicion was confirmed, because the nun with gray hair and dragon horns took out evidence one after another from the castle.

If the human bone statues and human skin scrolls at the beginning could not be discerned by ordinary people, and only the experienced captains of the city guards and the butchers had sudden changes in their expressions, then the human internal organs taken out by Sister Huaiguang were obviously soaked in embalming fluid. The human hands, feet, and even skull specimens with closed eyes in the nourishing fluid made everyone scream.

"Isn't this little Bonny from the next village? She disappeared a year ago, and her family is almost dying of panic. Her father almost sold the house and hired adventurers to search for her in the mountains... Why is she here?!"

"The light of the light, this, this is too scary - what on earth is the Baron doing?!"

"The Baron must have been bewitched by someone. Those ominous children, I knew something was wrong with them as soon as I saw them!"

Even after seeing these solid evidences, the citizens present found it difficult to believe that their Baron was actually a vicious alchemist who often went out to intercept caravans and lone travelers, and even robbed the residents of his own territory for experiments. division.

Because in terms of policy, Baron Ryan has been using the profits from Xiahui grass and other alchemical materials to provide various subsidies to the residents of the entire Ryan Territory, so that they can settle down and plant with peace of mind. Although they will not become rich, generally speaking, they will never be rich. You won't go hungry, and you can occasionally add some supplies to your family.

Looking around the entire Agate Stone Plain, it is well known that there is no more generous lord than Baron Ryan.

How could he do such a thing?

But the evidence is irrefutable, and the Huaiguang Church never lies. The white-haired dragon girl held up a strange sample bottle in her hand, which contained a sample of Xiahui Grass that had been entangled with mycelium.

Sister Yingguang solemnly told everyone that this was a discovery from the Baron's alchemy laboratory and was a biological weapon sample unique to Feiyan Land.

Apart from that, she said nothing, but there was an uproar in the crowd.

——Is it Feiyandi?

——The Baron is connected with Feiyandi, so that’s why he conducts these human experiments? !

——Is Feiyandi trying to harm our Ryan Territory?

Although there is no logic or any reason to explain the rationality of this point, the three words "Flying Flame Land" are enough to make all the people of Nanling angry - especially in the past six years, because of the threat of "Flying Flame Land" The influence of the Southwest Business Road has truly affected the living standards and interests of all Nanling people.

In this way, insulting Feiyandi itself is a kind of political correctness.

As for your excuse that Feiyan is not that powerful, Li Kezhong will do some analysis...

Are you a spy from Feiyandi?

You still want to speak for Fei Yandi!

"Feiyandi? When did we become Feiyandi?"

Regarding this, Ye Snake was extremely confused: "Why do Nanling people like to use Feiyandi as an excuse so much?"

"That little girl, I clearly remember that her brain structure is closer to Experimental Target No. 4, Linda who activated psychic energy, so I want to see if she can give the corpse a soul and implant a 'false memory' in it to create something like 'Resurrected Corpses' exist, so they were kidnapped."

As a scholar who obtained the status of a knight based on his research results, Night Snake is actually quite familiar with those experimental specimens, especially many of the targets that he asked the baron to capture or sent his men to capture.

That pathetic and stupid man, as long as he used the excuse "It has something to do with the technology of resurrecting a child", it was enough for him to do anything obediently. He was worthy of having the blood of a mountain man, and his head was as straightforward and ignorant as a stone.

But he didn't know that his child, the 'chosen one' himself, was also the target of their experiment.

Psionics. resurrection. Immortality.

No matter how ignorant you are, you can understand the weight of these words. Ordinary people regard these things as impossible fantasies and miracles that no one can achieve.

Then they use their own hands to turn this false delusion into reality bit by bit.

All countries in Terra are conducting experiments on artificial psykers. There is already quite mature evidence that shows that after the Skyfall disaster, all surviving humans have some "psionic potential" in their bodies. However, this potential power may not be large. Or just small.

And through intense emotional ups and downs, people's thinking patterns are distorted, and after reaching a certain threshold, that is, after a twisted and strong circuit that is enough to form a 'soul', this potential power will gradually activate, and even appear in an instant. Transformation into 'spiritual energy'.

Compared with short-term happiness, long-term pain and despair, emptiness and distortion are more likely to create powerful spiritual energy.

This is feasible and replicable - acquired psykers can already be produced through technical means, but catalysis consumes more experimental materials, and requires careful design of a 'plot' that causes severe emotional fluctuations, and the manufacturing process is extremely cumbersome , it depends on luck and is not practical for the time being.

In the final analysis, the third level of 'heart light' is to tap into the realm of self-spiritual energy in the body. This is a more natural method of artificial psykers. Even if they really research it, they will only be interested in the first and second levels. Useful, but meaningless.

Therefore, after confirming this, the Lingzhi Academy shifted its target to the ‘Chosen One’.

On the newly born son of Baron Ryan.

The chosen ones do not have any appearance pattern and are completely random numbers. Such psykers are born with souls and activated psionic energy. They are the 'new human beings' born with psionic energy and are undoubtedly the future human beings. direction of evolution.

The spiritual energy of each chosen one is different and may not be powerful, but they all have the potential to advance to the third energy level because their souls are naturally completely integrated with the body and can naturally develop a 'heart light body' , just like all third-level sublimators.

It's so amazing, the chosen one who is born with a soul is simply the perfect match.

Excellent material, excellent test subject.

——For example, if the soul of a chosen one loses his body, will he still have all kinds of special and strange features?

——Will his spiritual power continue to grow with age?

——After losing his body, can the soul of the chosen one be resurrected in a brand new body through methods such as 'echo' or 'memory transcription'?

——With a brand new body, can they naturally develop a light body again?

——At that time, can they still be considered the chosen ones?

Etc., etc……

The so-called 'echo', 'resurrection' and 'immortality' are essentially the by-products of experiments. They are the essence of people's pursuit of spiritual energy, the pursuit of the principle of soul birth, and the pursuit of miracles that naturally occur in the chosen ones. By-products produced.

Indeed, in the process of exploring the truth, some experimental materials may be consumed, but these are also necessary consumables. To be able to sacrifice for this great progress is really an honor for these mortals who live in confusion and have no idea of ​​the meaning.

So Lingzhiyuan planned such an accident.

In that accident, the baron lost his wife and child, but unexpectedly found that his child's soul still existed... Next, the people in black who were "actively" begged by the baron began to "enthusiastically" pray for her. The Baron offers a variety of resurrection plans.

An experimental plan.

Around this huge experiment related to the nature of the soul, one subsidiary plan after another unfolded.

Artificial psykers, cloned psykers, mental distortion limits, flesh and blood recombination, anti-mental interference experiments...

Memory rewriting, concept overwriting, artificial blood, prophet echo assimilation...

Baron Ryan and his 'adopted son and daughter' have achieved too many fruitful research results, and their Nanling branch has received awards again and again.

In particular, Night Snake has opened up a series of joints on the border of Nanling, allowing them to let in as many refugees as possible from the Western Plains who have left their homes... These refugees think they can escape to the relatively comfortable Nanling, but they don't know that only some of them can be properly treated. resettlement, most other people can only resign themselves to their fate.

In this way, cheap experimental materials are available, which are very abundant and very valuable.

Most of these people who dare to leave their hometowns to seek a life are mentally tough and have experienced miserable experiences. As spiritual experimental subjects, they are particularly durable and much easier to use than ordinary people.
