Chapter 380: Building the System: Part 3
Soon, Lin Sheng got all the specimens he needed to solve the Parasite cases .
Back to his underground research lab, he studied the make ups and nature of the specimens and then came up with an idea .
Using a machine, he compacted a fairly large amount of holy soil into a solid clay tablet . With this tablet, he turned it into a simple storage tank . He then poured sterilized water into it . He was reproducing the characteristics of the holy power in his memories .
In the sanctum of the dreams, the Templar used to soak in the pool when they practiced cultivation . After they left the pool, the water in that pool had shown the characteristics of the holy power for a short period .
Short-lived holy power might not that impressive as it could only last a few days . But this had given Lin Sheng an idea .
After he had built the holy soil tank, he looked around to make sure everything else was OK .
The activation of the small sanctum was imminent . This time, he could pass on the Ashen Seal and make a book of inheritance .
He was considering which type of Ashen Seal to make . He used to summon the priest, whose memories contained the specific images of other Ashen Seals . But without the book of inheritance, the priests who had mastered the Ashen Seals could not pass them on to others .
The disc of the Sanctum had the record of the technique making the book of inheritance . So it posed no difficulty for Lin Sheng .
Two hours later, he returned to the holy soil tank, standing beside it and wet his hands with the water . The water droplets sliding down his fingers glittered in a light-golden luster . The light was quite dim, but when looking closer, Lin Sheng could still notice the difference .
The golden glittering looked like gravels floating in the clear water; sometimes they gathered and sometimes scattered .
“It works . ” Lin Sheng took a bottle and filled it with the water from the holy soil tank .

A plume of black smoke materialized into a red armored soldier behind him . The soldier took the bottle from Lin Sheng’s hand .
“Dilute it 100 times and distribute it to a hundred core believers . Let the Chief Patrolman decide who to give . Come back to me with results tomorrow . ”
The red armored soldier acknowledged and left the research lab with the bottle .
Lin Sheng took a little water as a specimen, then closed the water tank back .
This was his self-made water containing the holy power . By the speed of the holy power dissipated, the water could last for at least a week . And he named it Holy Water .
The Holy Water will decrease in holy power strength with time . Lin Sheng had come up with this thing to contain the camouflage-abled monsters—the Parasites .
The Sanctum in the dreams used numerous priests to inject the holy power into human bodies to detect and clean them of the Parasites . This method worked well, but was inefficient . So Lin Sheng was not going to use it .
Fortunately, he had the special ability of making holy soil, which would only consume a little of his holy power and time . With the assistance of the Rock Dragon bloodline, he could keep producing the holy soil without getting himself drained .
Using Holy Water is to drive out the Parasite when people drank it .
When Lin Sheng was testing a new use of the Holy Soil, a chief patrolman caught another two unique Darksiders and had brought them to the research center .
“Master Seagal, this is the suspicious Darksiders we have captured from the city . We have checked; they are the internationally renowned mercenaries, the Unkillable Duo . ” The chief patrolman said . Behind him was a black, rough metal cage with two black bodies curling up inside .

It seemed the two men have suffered some inhuman torture; they were dying .
“They have excellent recovery ability . So I have to use holy power to drive out the dark energy from them every ten minutes, and then shock them with a high electrical voltage . I’ve also gouged out their eyes and cut out their tongues . Using alloy spikes, I pierced their waists and nailed them to the cage to prevent them from escaping . Besides, I’ve deep-carbonized their limbs to keep them from regenerating too quickly,” the chief patrolman explained . “It works well by the looks of them . ”
That was horrible .
Lin Sheng was speechless . He said, “Take them into the quarantine cell . ”
“Understood,” the chief patrolman said . “I will just leave it to you, Master, for there are something else I have to attend back in my jurisdiction . ”
“You’re good to go . ” Lin Sheng nodded .
The current Sanctum branch in Henricqal had recruited many Darksiders and formed a comprehensive hierarchy system . The main reason Lin Sheng could carry out research in such a nice and leisure manner was that he had delegated most of the tasks to the chief patrolmen .
After the chief patrolman left, Lin Sheng directed the red armored warrior to throw the two men into the quarantine cell while he returned to the research center .
He turned on the computer and logged into the citywide monitoring system . The top-down topographic map of Henricqal had some places flashing in red on the white background . But they disappeared after a while; they were the patrols solving cases in the field .
He could monitor the security situation of the entire Henricqal through the positioning device carried by the patrols .
“There isn’t any problem in the urban area . What about outside the city?” Lin Sheng moved the mouse cursor and randomly clicked an area outside the city on the map . As the map zoomed in, he saw at least two third of the area were flashing in red . Only a few areas remained white .

“Has the situation deteriorated so much?” Lin Sheng frowned .
The erosion of the Black Tide had brought out various monsters . There had been traffic disruptions between the cities in Miga for the last few days . Many unknown monsters had emerged in the expansive, desolate areas between the cities .
The Darksiders were too occupied and exhausted with the security situations in the city to worry about the outskirt areas .
“The worse part is communication with the nearby airport is down . The place could have fallen already . ”
Without the airport, he could only take the sea route if he wanted to return to Xylond . But in time like this, the sea route posed a greater risk than land route .
He had received information from Baine University’s intel network that several maritime patrol ships were missing after being attacked .
“Forget it . The situation is getting more dangerous . I’d better activate the small Sanctum . ” When the little Sanctum came online, the purifying force field would expand . This was the key reason for establishing a base .
Lin Sheng would make use of the spread of the purifying force field to sacrifice the offerings at the research center to open the Darkspirit Gate . If he were to open it in the downtown area, it would attract the Asterism’s attention .
“There is also the potion…” Lin Sheng had not forgotten the bottle of special potion he got .
A notification popped up on the computer screen . Someone was requesting for a communication connection . Lin Sheng allowed the request and soon, Cainphas’ voice came through .
“Master Seagal, the people from Suncrown have arrived, requesting to meet with you to discuss the potion . ”
“Suncrown?” Lin Sheng knew it . When he got out with the potion, he did not kill everyone to tie up the loose end . He was using it to gain the maximum leverage for himself .
As precious as the potion was, it was not useful to him . Instead, he needed to be careful because the Sevenlocks Tower was after this thing .
“Who they send?” Lin Sheng asked because it had everything to do with Suncrown’s attitude towards the potion and the Sanctum .
“The dean of the Royal Yemei Academy, the head of the Miga Dark Energy Research Center, and a fellow of the Miga Supernatural Research Institute . ” Cainphas told him a bunch of titles . “In layman terms: a Palatinate and two apex Six Wingers . ”
Lin Sheng’s heart missed a beat, knowing these people were up to no good . He bet his two cents that the top officials in Miga would be eager to get their hands on the Holy Power . They knew it was so powerful and compatible with dark energy .
So the potion was just an excuse . Their real target could be the Holy Power .
