Entering the Beastfolk Laboratory
At this moment, Shisui and the Beastfolk's Laboratory were very close.
Just as he was preparing to cross space and directly invade the Laboratory, he received part of the message from Radiant Feathers.
The Third Research Institute's base, the place surrounded by a large amount of seaweed, has seen its few remaining combat personnel leave.
Shisui recalled that it seemed to be the person in charge of the base, a Heaven Realm Awakened.
This reminded Shisui that he hadn't yet decided where to go after robbing the Beastfolk.
The current Shisui is long past the point where he would fear the Heaven Realm Awakened.
The Third Research Institute's base was more like a delicious meal waiting to be enjoyed by him.
Having decided on their next destination, Shisui stopped thinking about it.
He traversed space in a single step and arrived inside the Laboratory.
The busy Beastfolk around them were stunned by the sudden appearance of the stranger.
Before they could react to what was happening, a dense Radiant Feathers flashed past.
A streak of blood appeared on the necks of all the Beastfolk present.
The next moment, heads fell to the ground one after another, making a series of dull thuds.
The smell of blood spread rapidly.
He strolled Shisui across the mess and splattered crimson, and with a wave of his hand, several extremely fine threads appeared deep within his palm.
The [Spirit Dream Recall] grafted onto the palm of his hand was activated, and the filtered memories flowed into Zi Sui's brain along the Shisui.
The brain was operating at overclocked speed under the constant repair of Rc Cells, frantically consuming Psychic Energy.
Some research topics that have not yet yielded results, or that the Shisui is not interested in, are skipped over.
He focused his attention on these studies concerning Undying Cells and the Eye of Madness.
Most researchers in the Laboratory are just assistants.
The research projects they are responsible for are likely to be of a very high standard compared to other research institutes.
In the top-secret Laboratory, however, it was merely an insignificant scrap.
More often than not, they are assigned tedious and repetitive experiments by their supervisors or group leaders.
They are only responsible for generating and uploading the data, without even knowing the purpose of what they are creating.
Therefore, the information that can be obtained by examining the memories of these people is limited.
The researchers in this area were quickly surveyed.
The threads extending from [Spirit Dream Recall] were pulled back, Shisui happened to walk to the door of this room.
Without pausing, he opened the door and went out.
The still-warm corpses behind them turned into Flesh Crystals before the door closed and disappeared into Alternate Space.
Standing in the empty corridor, the next room is right across the hall.
Shisui's gaze shifted; the corridor wasn't long, and he estimated there were three more rooms not far away.
There were no room numbers on the doors of any of the rooms, and the entire corridor was excessively spacious and clean, as if no one had ever set foot there.
It seems that this Laboratory is not large in scale and was indeed built solely to contain the Undying Cells.
Shisui breathed a sigh of relief.
This means that the number of internal researchers will not be too large, allowing them to view memories in batches.
With that in mind, he now has a lot more time for this operation.
With that thought in mind, Shisui's actions showed no sign of stopping.
He pushed open the door and went into the room opposite.
The first thing you see is a large number of instruments and numerous constantly lit displays in front of them.
The equipment blocked their view, so neither Shisui, who opened the door, nor the researchers busy inside saw each other.
Without hesitation, Shisui immediately spread his perception over a small area.
He immediately understood what the daily tasks were for working in this room.
Data aggregation and processing.
This part of the work is far more important than the work done by the researchers in the previous room.
Therefore, there are only five Beastfolk in this nearly 200-square-meter room.
The five Beastfolk were scattered among various instruments; in order not to alert them, Shisui had to kill them all at once.
Radiant Feathers silently flew towards the five targets.
A second later, they brought their prey back.
These prey were all pierced through the heart and neck, and then suspended by the pierced Radiant Feathers, flying to Shisui's front.
The Rc Cells carried on the Radiant Feathers proliferate and seal the wounds on the prey's surface.
Their blood did not splatter everywhere, thus protecting the operating equipment.
Therefore, no instruments issued alarms about malfunctions, and the survivors remained unaware that outsiders had entered the Laboratory.
Shisui raised his hand and reached towards the corpses floating in mid-air; translucent threads pierced their heads.
Data from the transplantation of Undying Cells and the Eye of Madness into different organisms flooded into Shisui's brain.
Compared to Undying Cells, the rejection reaction caused by the Eye of Madness after transplantation is much more severe.
The Eye of Madness is inherently extremely manic, and the delirious ramblings it produces can even directly corrupt the soul of the person it parasitizes.
Therefore, the mortality rate for transplanting the Eye of Madness alone is 100%.
But this doesn't mean that Undying Cells are gentle.
The mortality rate from transplanting Undying Cells is still no less than 50%.
Moreover, unlike the Eye of Madness host often dies on the spot, the host of the Undying Cells is repeatedly tortured for a period of time before dying in agony.
Chi An was one of the few experimental subjects who successfully received the Eye of Madness.
He is also the only experimental subject to successfully receive both Undying Cells and the Eye of Madness simultaneously.
Over the years of research, the Beastfolk Laboratory has successfully replicated the Undying Legion soldiers of the Demon Race.
But there was no clue as to how to replicate Chi An.
Incidentally, the undead soldiers created by the Beastfolk, because they essentially used cells derived from the Heaven-Controlling Realm of the Demon Race, were not deployed on the battlefield.
These experimental subjects were all kept in a small prison at the end of the corridor.
These are "samples" and "special petri dishes" used only for experiments.
In addition, researchers from the Beastfolk discovered that adding "bridges" between the two types of cells to ease tensions might reduce the mutual conflict between them.
The soul that Chi An was caught between the Undying Cells and the Eye of Madness Cells may have played such a role.
Seeing this, Shisui thought about the situation inside his body.
Currently, Rc Cells have fused with Undying Cells.
The Eye of Madness in his hand was also partially fused with the Undying Cells.
Well, Undying Cells are quite durable anyway, so using them as a buffer during fusion should be fine.
Of course, this method can only be used Shisui.
After all, not every living organism's cells can completely control and utilize Undying Cells like Rc Cells.
Time passed slowly, and a minute went by.
Shisui didn't linger any longer, quickly packing up these people's memories and stuffing them into a corner of his mind before turning and leaving the room.
The five corpses floating behind him were compressed by the Spatial Energy on Radiant Feathers.
Moments later, it was also purified and compressed into Flesh Crystals.
Shisui strode back into the corridor.
The remaining three rooms are an operating room, a large conference room, and a small prison cell.
At this moment, the operating room was empty, and the small cell was filled with experimental subjects who were in a daze and in a semi-conscious state.
The only truly valuable people present were the senior researchers in the large conference room, discussing the situation with Chi An.
