Chapter 308: 308
Chapter 308: Experiment: Part 3
Amid the thunderous sound, the vortex broke up and the redwood disappeared . A human figure shrouded in red light lunged out from the center of the ritual circle at Lin Sheng .
A shriek of laughter was heard in the air, and whispers ringing in Lin Sheng’s ears .
“Amoendika!” As Lin Sheng uttered another keyword, the face of the red human figure stopped mid-air, only at a distance the width of the palm of a human’s hand . Its fuzzy face contorted, giggling and staring at Lin Sheng . Its mouth squirmed as if it was making sound waves inaudible to human ears . Likewise, Lin Sheng murmured . Using the Deviltongue, he bargained with the human figure .
Time ticked away . The human figure began to lose its patience . He drew close to Lin Sheng’s face, seemingly intimidating him . But Lin Sheng was unruffled, face stern like iron and mouth still murmuring . This irritated the red human figure even more . He began growling and shrilling . Yet, Lin Sheng remained unflurried .
The red human figure finally lost it like someone flip the table in a negotiation . He lurched toward Lin Sheng, wanting this human to pay the price . Regardless of whether the deal was reached, he had to first get his own needs met .
Just as he was about to get in front of Lin Sheng, white light burst out of out nowhere . Lin Sheng’s body went up in flames in a split second, turning himself into a white human-shaped torch . Under the ferocious flame, every inch and every part of Lin Sheng’s body began to release a huge amount of concentrated holy power .
The dark spirit screamed and was about to withdraw into the circle . But Lin Sheng had grabbed its shoulder, laughing as he dragged the dark spirit out .
A violent explosion broke out in Lin Sheng’s mind . His white flame and red dark spirit clashed and annihilated each other . The ritual, the corpses in the pit, and all the materials turned into black ash and dissipated with the wind .
After a long while, when everything calmed down, raindrops as large as a bean began to fall from the night sky .
Lin Sheng came out from the pergola and walked straight toward the back door of the mansion . Seemingly out of nowhere, he found a light-red translucent bead in his hand .

Alas…
Melissa burped as she put the fizzy drink on the table . The patrol team was in the midst of performing a routine patrol . The team leader, Lin Sheng, smiled as he chatted with two teammates about the fun of playing cards last night . Right now, they were resting in the only pancake shop in town .
Black Bear Pancake was the only eatery that sold food palatable to them . So they usually came here to get a quick bite . The restaurant was spacious and well lit . The floor was laid with white tiles and the walls and ceiling were of stain-resistant dark yellow .
Aside from the less-than-nice design, the furnishings were of forestry style with deer and bear heads hanging on the walls . The bar counter and chairs were of log-style design . Even the cups were made of wood .
Melissa had ordered a snow pear pancake with cheese sausage . She returned to her seat with a plate of the delicacy, wolfing down the pancake with a can of carbonated drink .
As she ate, she peered at Lin Sheng with the corner of her eye . She somehow felt that since last night, this good-tempered team leader had undergone some changes . She could not tell what, but something must have happened . And she was dead sure about that .
During the mission, several girls in the team had developed an affection for their team leader . In their eyes, Lin Sheng was tall, heroic, gentle, and magnanimous . He was particularly a good listener and very a caring person . Not to mention that he was a top student in the Soul Fortress with a bright future .
So far, two girls had either secretly or openly expressed their admiration for Lin Sheng . Things were inexplicit, but as a woman, Melissa had sensed it .

“I can’t believe that a group of female monkeys is on heat!” Melissa sneered, slamming her cup on the table . She, Melissa, would never bother to mingle with these people .
Suddenly, Melissa spotted Lin Sheng glancing at her . She was transfixed for a second . She lowered her head and compressed her lips, her smirking face becoming gentle and blushed . When she looked up again, Lin Sheng had looked away .
A female teammate with a coquettish voice, wavy blonde hair, and a curvy figure came up and sat next to Lin Sheng, blocking Melissa’s sight .
Melissa squeezed the cup in her hand, her eyes stern as she gritted her teeth . “What a big-a** monkey!”
Suddenly, the restaurant door was pushed open as a teammate rushed in, his face pale .
“Captain! Something is wrong, come and see!” He hurried to Lin Sheng’s table .
Lin Sheng nodded and motioned to Melissa before he stood up and went out .
Melissa calmed her fluttering mind and got up and rushed out with the other teammates .
Something happened in the town near the end of the pine forest . An old man who got up to exercise in the morning was found dead in the parking spot reserved for courier vehicles . The body shriveled as if someone had sucked the blood dry .

When Lin Sheng arrived at the scene, a crowd had gathered in the vicinity . Someone from the defense station had also arrived and was taking photographs of the scene . Lin Sheng’s team was the only patrol squad in the town . So as soon as the officer from the defense station saw Lin Sheng, he immediately came up to him .
“Come and check it out . What the hell is going on? Jack has been exercising every morning here for the last ten years!” Henry was the director of the defense station . He was a tall black man with a wide waist and large arms . But he apparently was not in a good mood now because the dead old man did not look like he was murdered .
“Jack is a very nice man . His death is definitely not a vendetta! Absolutely not!” He kept emphasizing .
Lin Sheng comforted him . He then asked the crowd to make way as he came up and squatted before the body . With his finger pointing on the forehead of the body, dark energy permeated and circulated through the body, just as the standard investigation method written in the textbook .
“I need your help, Melissa . ” Lin Sheng turned to look at her .
Melissa came to her senses, coming up to squat down beside Lin Sheng .
“I need to freeze his head,” Lin Sheng whispered .
From the Crystal Wand workshop, Melissa’s dark energy technique could make an object’s temperature drop drastically . And the effect was instant . With over 100 units of dark energy, freezing the head of a corpse was not that difficult for her . “Understood . ”
While Melissa was at it, Lin Sheng started to examine other places . He had just gained new achievements last night . The last thing he wanted was more surprises .
Those professors had been in the silver mine for a very long time . Although they were sending news of their progress occasionally, it would take more time to catch the cunning mouse . That meant he could come back for the same mission again . And he needed time to conduct his experiment . If he returned to the city, there would be no place with such an ideal condition to continue his test .
The amount of blood each wildling had was more than that of an adult human . Naturally, it was a good ingredient for summoning the dark spirits . Through last night’s attempt, Lin Sheng could already purify the dark spirit with his holy power and assimilate it as part of his soul through the Energy Assimilation Point . This could be a new way for him to gain soul power and a great place for him to expand his experiments . The last thing he wanted was to have someone interrupting his work .
