The Semi-Abandoned Shahai Laboratory

A large number of Mechanical Insects flew towards the deep underground.

They moved quickly and soon crossed the downward passage, entering a significantly wider space.

These Mechanical Insects could also see that there was a long string of signs hanging on the wall before they entered that large space.

The two best-preserved pieces are, on the very top, a plaque engraved with the Laboratory's name.

Shahai Laboratory

On the other piece, below, there is a claw mark on the sign that almost tore it apart.

Lu Qianyu could only barely make out the shapes.

"Two Ethnic Groups... Cooperation and Exchange... Advanced Collective"

Since there is no light source, the Mechanical Insects can only rely on their night vision capabilities to vaguely observe the scene in this space.

The space is about five meters high, and you can see many ventilation devices installed on the top.

However, the length and width of this space are difficult to estimate accurately in a short period of time.

The area around the entrance is basically furnished with laboratory tables that have drawers at the bottom and display shelves at the top.

Many lab benches connecting the floor and ceiling are also uniformly placed on the left side.

In the very center of the space, a designated area was set aside, upon which twenty dissection tables were placed at considerable distances.

Looking further into the distance, there appeared to be other experimental instruments and equipment.

It is clear that this place has been abandoned for quite some time.

The tables and chairs were covered with a thick layer of dust, and many of the reagents on the display shelves had begun to lose their original function due to prolonged storage.

Some valuable scientific research equipment has been abandoned here for unknown reasons.

The metal components that originally contained highly complex Psychic Energy could now only be detected by slight Psychic Energy fluctuations.

However, as the Mechanical Insects dispersed and carefully observed the Laboratory, Lu Qianyu keenly noticed something unusual.

She noticed that some of the bloodstains remaining on the dissection tables were unusually fresh.

Some of these bloodstains were formed by splattering, while others were caused by dripping, displaying a chilling crimson hue.

Moreover, judging from the condition of these bloodstains, the earliest one may have formed the day before yesterday.

Although Lu Qianyu is not an expert in this field, he has been spending the last few months in Chongming City with relatively good public security.

Moreover, he was also an intelligence operative.

This means that although Lu Qianyu has been working for less than a year, she may have seen more crime scenes than some soldiers stationed in well-maintained residential areas.

Therefore, when faced with dried blood, he could roughly deduce the time and cause of its formation.

Lu Qianyu immediately realized that the Laboratory was not completely abandoned.

At least recently, someone has used it.

He immediately began controlling the Mechanical Insects.

Part of the search involves checking for any experimental data or record sheets that may have been missed.

The other group found hidden locations and lay in wait, so they could easily monitor what was happening here later.

He had a premonition that he could uncover some significant intelligence in this Laboratory.

The intelligence team that went undercover in Sand Shahai City made progress, but Shisui, who was conducting experiments in Yin City, got stuck.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sounds of explosions were easily masked by the thick fog.

The explosive power of the Composite Radiant Feathers, which had been increasing dramatically with each adjustment, has remained unchanged for only a few hours.

Shisui stopped bombing the surrounding abandoned buildings.

He frowned slightly, his Kakugan filled with seriousness.

Without a clear direction for further improvement, continuing the experiment would only be a waste of time.

Shisui began to gather the current finished products, and then gnawed on the Flesh Crystals to ensure that the Psychic Energy in his body was always at its peak.

We'll summarize the current progress.

Currently, the speed of his Radiant Feathers missiles has already surpassed the speed of sound.

Using his knowledge from his previous life, he calculated that the highest speed he could achieve in a short period of time was approximately Mach 50.

It's worth noting that in the previous world, the most advanced missiles announced by various countries before his death only reached speeds close to Mach 30.

Shisui's Radiant Feathers are smaller in size, and the Psychic Energy they use as a power source is also more powerful.

When it takes off, all you need to consider is whether Radiant Feathers himself can withstand the damage.

In this regard, Shisui has full confidence in the strength of Rc Cells.

At a speed of Mach 50, without the need for an explosion, Radiant Feathers would be able to directly shatter a low-level Awakened.

However, when faced with awakened beings who can already manipulate the Psychic Energy in the air, especially those who can condense Psychic Energy Shields, the situation becomes even more challenging.

Physical attacks delivered solely by speed are insufficient.

At this point, the explosion caused by Psychic Energy became their death warrant.

Shisui fully referenced the Human Race's Chain Bomb.

If the target uses Psychic Energy to defend themselves, the explosion will ignite their own Psychic Energy as well.

Unless the attack misses or the chain reaction triggered by Radiant Feathers is suppressed in time.

Otherwise, the higher the content of Psychic Energy in the prey, the more explosive the death will be.

But here's the problem: all of the above attacks are aimed at the physical body.

Even the intense Psychic Energy fluctuations generated by the explosion will impact the prey's soul.

But in essence, none of these can be considered attacks against the soul.

At most, it'll just graz you, dealing a negligible amount of damage.

If it's against an individual with a powerful soul, or a species like the Spirit Race that is already proficient in the study of souls.

There's a high probability that the Radiant Feathers missiles will only kill their bodies, allowing their souls to escape.

This is quite serious.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Shisui decided that the next direction for improvement would be to inflict "soul damage" on the missile.

Since physical damage has already reached its limit at this stage, it's better to make it a mixed damage type to increase attack power.

However, "There's not much to refer to when it comes to attacks targeting the soul."

Starting from scratch would likely take a considerable amount of time.

Just as Shisui troubled, Radiant Feathers, who had been scattered on the south bank of the Kaiyang Continent, was suddenly disturbed.

Awakened beings whose realms are close to the Heaven Realm have landed on the south bank.

Shisui devoted a small portion of his energy to the Radiant Feathers people buried by the sea.

"Um?"

This aura seems to be a mixture of two races.

They were almost identical to the Beastfolk he had previously encountered in the Spirit Resonance Rainforest and the insects that could control their own kind with Soul Energy.

"Wait, using soul control to control your own kind!"

In other words, those insects have experience controlling Soul Energy!

It came to me without any effort at all!

A hint of surprise flashed in Shisui's eyes.

A massive fog began to churn and then spread towards the coast.

You have to trap your prey before it can react.

In the distance, Hua Yixuan continued to approach Yin City, completely unaware that he and the Insect Mother on his body were being targeted.

Meanwhile, in the East District of the Lantiao Continent Shahai City.

Chi An landed lightly on the roof of the abandoned building opposite the entrance to the shelter.

He gazed down at the familiar streets nearby, his bloodshot eyes reflecting the figures of patrolling soldiers.
