Nightmare Light

Chapter 102 Research Diary
laugh!
A violent black gas surged out like a snake, with a sharp whisper and strange laughter, and spread out in front of Lin Wang and pounced on his face.

And that voice contained some extreme evil thoughts.

"Oh no!" Sen's face changed drastically. "That book is the key reason why Hou Xuanzhang was possessed! I finally got rid of it, but I didn't expect..."

In the Saint Lady's opinion, such evil objects must go through a strict exorcism process: generally three to five experienced priests are needed to draw the formation and perform magic together.

This is the only way to completely eliminate the evil energy inside without damaging the item.

Even when encountering some worse items with energy that is difficult to remove, the temple will implement a set of "containment" procedures to collect the strange and weird items.

Now, seeing Lin Wang rashly picking up the book and activating the black energy inside, one can imagine the anxiety and anger in Miss Saint's heart.

I was so cautious when handling a letter just now...how could you pick up a notebook so casually!
You reckless northerner!

The Saint Lady had no choice but to force herself to raise her hands despite her injured and painful body. She made a seal with one hand in front of her body and raised the other hand to her forehead, ready to activate the seal on her forehead at any time.

The next second, she saw Lin Wang slap the black mist: "Who the hell are you trying to scare? Behave!"

The ferocious and strange black energy was slapped hard in front of Lin Wang, and it broke into countless black powders and scattered all over the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the black powder began to burn on the ground, emitting a pungent odor. When the odor dissipated, only some ashes were left on the ground.

The black fog and whispers completely disappeared without a trace.

"No...no more?"

Miss Saint blinked: "The pollution of that book... such a large pollution, just disappeared like that?"

She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly shuddered and quickly shouted to Lin Wang, "Lin Wang! The contents of that book are dangerous, don't play KA yet... Why did you open it already?!"

Lin Wang opened the book and looked at the contents with some curiosity: "This is not a book, it's a notebook."

"Notebook? What's recorded in it? Is the content dangerous?" The Saint Lady was surprised, alert and curious.

"Come over here and take a look." Lin Wang pointed to the notebook in his hand. "It seems to record a sacrificial ceremony."

"I won't read it! Such a weird book, what if there's some cursed content in it... a sacrificial ritual? Let me see it?"

Miss Saint leaned her head closer.

Lin Wang took a half step back to make room for her, and the two of them studied the notebook in front of them in the dim basement.

(As with the previous letter, the contents of the notebook are enclosed in brackets for easier reading.)
May 979, 5 AD, 2th record

After seeing this line, Lin Wang and Sen looked at each other in surprise.

"Imperial calendar? The Three Emperors period? Doesn't that mean it's over a hundred years ago?"

"How did the experimental records from over a hundred years ago end up in Hou Xuanzhang's hands?"

"What kind of experiment is this? Who wrote it?"

The two lowered their heads and continued to look back.

[The atomization rate of Subject No. 17 has reached 97%, but the atomized particles still form a form that is observable and still have the ability to communicate... We have truly reached the threshold of "promotion"!]

Lin Wang frowned, and at the same time, he felt that the Saint Lady's hand was trembling on the other end of the notebook.

"Atomization... could it be?"

"Mist tribe."

"Hou Xuanzhang mentioned the word 'promotion' earlier. What exactly are these Mist Clan members doing?"

"The records were from over a hundred years ago, and no news has come out since then. This shows that the experiment ultimately failed."

Lin Wang said this in a deep voice, turning to the next page. [May 979, 5, Imperial Calendar, 11st Record]

The growths on the test subject persisted and could not be removed. These strange growths also produced additional waves of consciousness. The high priest explained that these were random waves generated by the growths' brain-like structure, meaningless.

"Proliferation... consciousness..." Miss Saint's brows gradually furrowed, and she looked up at Lin Wang, "The black energy that surged out of this book before..."

"There is no doubt that he has some evil intentions." Lin Wang nodded.

May 979, 9 AD, 6th record

[I succeeded! I successfully cut open Subject 23's brain while he was still at 97% foggy and removed the growth!]

[During this process, Subject No. 23 remained in constant communication with us! The plan personally designed by our High Priest truly works.]

[Your Excellency, the growth in your brain is truly beautiful.]

My back is itchy... I feel like something is about to grow out of it.

[The itch is gone... Hehe, so cute. ]

In the corridor, under the dim light, Lin Wang and the Saint both felt a little cold.

Sen suddenly looked up at Old Xu and Priest Meng. "You two, get out immediately! Mr. Xu, you need to return to a safe place! Priest Meng, you need to return to the temple immediately and call for help! At least call a full squad of combat priests!"

"Ah?" "Yes!"

Old Xu was still in a daze, but Priest Meng had already started moving.

He quickly cast a spell on himself, pulled Old Xu up and left.

Lin Wang glanced at Miss Saint: "Do you think something will happen? This is just a record from over a hundred years ago."

"The Temple has dealt with all sorts of anomalies, pollution, and crazy cultists for so many years... We know one thing: luck will only get worse, and the only luck we can trust is our fists."

The Saint Lady had a cold expression on her face and turned another page on her own initiative.

A page of twisted text appeared on the paper scratched by the nails.

【Emergency Record】

[Wrong! All wrong! The entire "final promotion" experiment was wrong from the beginning!]

[My people have used enormous manpower and financial resources to design this great ritual, which will ultimately lead to only one outcome - turning all of our people into indescribable twisted monsters!]

【At the end of the fog, there is only madness!!!】

[██ Record]

【Everyone in the laboratory has become a crazy slave! 】

[The High Priest reawakened me at the last second before completely transforming into a monster... I must destroy the records and completely seal the entire facility!]

[Our clan's path to advancement is completely cut off... I hope the other path is viable...]

Seeing this, Lin Wang and Sen looked at each other again, and there was deep confusion in their eyes.

"Seal?" "Destroy?"

The two said in unison.

"If the facility was sealed and the record was destroyed...how did it end up in Hou Xuanzhang's hands?"

Lin Wang narrowed his eyes gradually, raised his hand and turned a new page: "It seems that you were right to ask for help."
