Investigators' Review in Progress...

Ding Lexin's consciousness slowly rose from an endless searing pain.

The pain did not originate from the flesh and blood, but from a deeper place.

If I had to describe it, it would be like starring in a large-scale Japanese art film without Protagonist, and he was the only one who got beaten up.

Then, a strange transformation occurred. The burning pain gradually subsided, replaced by an indescribable gentleness, like soaking in a hot spring, and then slowly becoming pleasant.

It is said that evil has led to depravity.

He was almost drowning in this strange, pleasurable sensation, until the sounds of conversation from the outside world gradually became clearer, as if coming through ripples on water.

"Look what they've done to that child..."

"It got out of control. It had just been developed, and we were figuring out what form of attack to use, so we didn't pay attention to the runaway energy."

"You really have to make it up to them. By the way, your [Martial Will] is... fire? That's strange, what's going on?"

"I did not condense [Martial Will]. This is a technique that I deduced and designed by analyzing Martial Will and integrating various methods such as Curses, mental impact, and soul attacks... well, it can be called 'Heartfire'."

"It's specifically designed for the soul, intense emotions, Divine Power, and even... highly condensed Aggregation Body of belief energy, like Martial Will. It just feels more like Martial Will."

"As for the Black Flames... it's just my personal preference. Black Flames are the energy form I understand most deeply right now, so they're perfect as the 'carrier' for this new attack mode. Theoretically, as long as you fully grasp the core principles, wind, frost, and lightning can all be used as the outer shell. I might try other variations in the Future."

Upon hearing this, Ding Lexin realized that this person was quite adept at subtly showing off.

"So what you're saying, getting Purple Skill means... developing one yourself, right?"

I guess so.

The conversation between the two was incredibly informative, leaving Ding Lexin, who had just regained consciousness, completely bewildered yet instinctively shocked.

He suddenly opened his eyes and was shocked to find two highly Forbidden Class from Zone 76 standing beside him, discussing something completely beyond his reach.

The two stopped talking, their gazes simultaneously falling on him. That calm stare, however, made Ding Lexin feel an invisible pressure. He instinctively tried to sit up, but suddenly realized something was wrong with his body—

Looking down, he saw that his clothes and broken props had long since disappeared, leaving only his naked body covered with a white sheet, like the kind used in morgues.

Ding Lexin unconsciously reached her hand to her thigh and felt a cold, damp patch. Startled, she quickly withdrew her hand.

Holy crap, what just happened? I felt so good that I completely lost control of my body and lost control of my bladder.

"You're alright now. Minister Jing came by earlier and healed you."

This is Consultant Su speaking.

"Now that you're awake, get ready. You'll stay here later to assist with the data collection and experiments."

This is Chairman Song speaking.

Ding Lexin: "???"

Ignoring her embarrassing situation, Ding Lexin stared at the two of them in shock.

Have you two got what you were supposed to say backwards?! In a situation like this, shouldn't Chairman Song be the one calming things down, and Consultant Su be the one recruiting people for the experiment?! How come the roles are completely reversed?!

"Hurry up, put your clothes on, then go to the next room."

Su Luo left with those words and Song Shige, leaving Ding Lexin alone in the room.

Only then did he have time to look around this unfamiliar place, an extremely simple, even cold, space.

From ceiling to floor, it was all made of a single, seamless piece of silver-white metal, gleaming with a cold luster. There were no superfluous decorative furniture, and even the door gaps were almost invisible, making it look like a completely sealed metal box.

I got up and secretly used my spatial ability to collect my liquid. Only then did I realize that I was lying in a rectangular container that looked like a coffin.

This place is a bit too bizarre. There's a coffin in the middle of the room, and the surroundings are gloomy, making it feel like a main tomb chamber.

Upon exiting, one finds a large number of silver-white metal pillars, each about two meters long and half a meter in diameter, incongruously piled up on both sides of the corridor.

"Holy crap, these are... nuclear bombs?!"

Recalling the information in the internal documents, Ding Lexin sighed and turned to go into the next room.

There was nothing inside; it was completely empty.

But soon, the silvery-white ground cracked open, and tables and chairs emerged. On the tables were an antique scroll, three cups of steaming tea, and a pair of simple silver-rimmed glasses.

At the same time, the surrounding air began to vibrate rhythmically, and Su Luo's voice rang directly in his ear, clear and steady:

"I am deeply sorry for the accidental injury. As compensation, I have performed an Optimization and modification on your body. Your Constitution Attributes have improved, your strength Attribute has increased slightly, and you have also gained an additional organ."

"Now, please follow these steps in order: First, drink the tea marked Number One to calm your mind; second, unroll the scroll and immerse yourself in perception for ten minutes; finally, put on the glasses and perceive the scroll again until I announce the end of the experiment."

Ding Lexin quickly opened her System Panel and saw that her Constitution Attribute had jumped from 13.4 to 14.5.

He subconsciously touched his chest and could feel an organ, like a second heart, slowly pulsating, becoming more active with each flow of Mana.

Picking up the tea and taking a sip, Ding Lexin immediately felt her soul refreshed and her mind clear, as if an ice pop had been dropped into her crotch, leaving her feeling cool and exhilarated.

He put down his teacup, took a deep breath, and solemnly unfurled the ancient scroll—the "Vast Sea Scroll."

Over the next ten minutes, Ding Lexin saw all sorts of images: a blade of grass that could cut down the sun, moon, Stars; a flame that could burn down thousands of generations...

"That looks pretty awesome."

"But... after watching it, I don't seem to remember anything? Was it just like watching TV? I don't even know what the point is?"

Ding Lexin was slightly puzzled, and after ten minutes, she put on the silver-rimmed glasses.

Swish!

Wow!

The world remains unchanged!

Ding Lexin couldn't tell the difference.

Open the scroll.

This time, the images she saw were the same, but Ding Lexin felt that something was completely different.

He still couldn't see the specific details clearly, nor could he remember the complete scene, but strangely, he began to feel the unyielding sharpness of the grass when it cut through the Stars, and he could feel the unquestionable destructive belief of the flame when it burned away eternity!

It seems he... can "feel" the essence of these images?

It was such an abstract feeling that he couldn't describe it, but something seemed to be stirring within him, a will was stirring within him.

Ding Lexin sipped her tea while watching the film with her glasses on, feeling as if something was about to emerge.
