William was not the only one who felt excited. Yi Chen, following behind him, was equally excited.
However, the focus of their excitement was different.
William was excited because he was gaining entirely new knowledge and drawing ever closer to the Fourth Calamity, while Yi Chen was excited because he was seeing such intense malice for the first time—or rather, because of the murderous impulse it stirred in him.
Looking over all the targets Yi Chen had slain, not one had ever possessed malice so intense and repulsive.
So much so that all ten of his fingers began to twitch faintly.
The "mask" sewn into the lining of his clothes also surfaced and trembled along with Yi Chen's killing intent, impatient to be worn over his face.
After William finished inspecting all the failed specimens that had died, he took the umbrella back from Lainey and pointed ahead with his other hand.
"Come on, let's keep moving~"
However, there were still many abandoned laboratories where failed specimens were piled up. After passing through several rooms in succession, the space ahead suddenly expanded, and the sound of orderly footsteps came from within.
"Oh? A human screening area?"
Before them was a relatively large underground factory.
A large number of mechanical arms were connected to the ceiling, transferring television devices that had reached the limits of their cycles here.
They inserted an oil-covered drainage pipe into the backs of the televisions. Through the continuous injection of liquid, they actually flushed the "actors" inside the televisions out from between the screens, sending them tumbling onto the floor.
The mechanical arms then placed a kind of metal cap on their heads, using electric stimulation to make them stand. In an unconscious state, they lined up one after another to undergo full-body examinations.
