408 Demon Restraining Cuffs (1/2)
In an enclosed environment within the underground laboratory, time passed very quickly.
A month had passed.
Xi Menjian rubbed his forehead as he left a meeting.
Everyone was worried about the outbreak of evolvers around the world and the strict security protocols that were put in place to deal with the situation.
'Fortunately.... The probability of such an obvious special ability is extremely low among the evolvers... However, considering the slow increase in energy as well as the 3rd occurrence which is about to happen...'
Xi Menjian started to have a headache. 'Finally, the information about the old cultivators... Sigh, could this world be plagued with demons in the future?'
”Chief of Bureau!”
At this point in time, a secretary came running in. ”There's news from the research centre. Experiment No. 2 was a success!”
”What?”
Elated, Xi Menjing peered out. ”It's Comrade Fang Yuan, one of the two evolvers with evolved brains! Great! Let's return now, for this is a rare piece of good news!”
At this point in time, within the underground base.
Fang Yuan gazed at the screen and saw a familiar face.
The subject was tall and skinny and had a tanned skin. It was his friend from the orphanage, the national athlete who did the country proud - Liu Fei.
”Let's begin the experiment now!”
”The subject of the experiment is Liu Fei, a speed evolver. After the second occurrence, nothing happened. His previous record for the 100m sprint still stands at 8.9 seconds!”
...
The assistant by the side used a robotic voice to report the details.
Fang Yuan nodded his head. Even among the first few evolvers, there was only a handful who were able to awaken their special ability under the influence of the second occurrence.
However, they were normal humans who became supernormal overnight as well! This was the potential of the evolvers!
”Ready... go!”
Liu Fei had volunteered himself to become the subject of experimentation and contribute to his country.
Without emotions, Fang Yuan coldly gave the order.
”Whoosh!”
On the screen, Liu Fei sped towards the finish line like the wind.
”The data obtained during experimentation is a new record! 8.5 seconds!”
The researcher exclaimed.
This result was able to shatter the world record once more.
'It seems like the second occurrence is still effective!'
Fang Yuan nodded his head and commanded. ”Let's commence the control experiment!”
”Yes!”
In the screen, a researcher made Liu Fei wear a metal bracelet.
”Kacha!”
As soon as the bracelet was fixed on Liu Fei's arm, his expression changed.
”Let's begin!”
”Whoosh!”
It was another 100m sprint, and the new results came out. ”13.02 seconds!”
”After a body checkup, we found out that the energy in his body was restricted and the muscles in his legs are stiffened...”
”Let's change the subject!”
Fang Yuan nodded his head and changed the subject.
”This is a volunteer from the army, Qian Yingming. He had awakened his special ability to spit fire after the second occurrence. The fire which he spits out can reach 1,000 degrees Celsius and he has no control over it...”
The screen changed and now displayed a charred interior of a laboratory.
A young man was coughing and sneezing inside. Every time he did so, sparks would come out from his nose, charring the entire room.
With that, he was being made to wear a metal necklace around his neck. With a look of confusion, he started to sneeze and cough with all his might but there were no longer any sparks.
”Send in the 3rd group!”
”4th group!”
...
”Hmm, the experiment on subject No. 2 is still the most successful!”
After comparing 10 groups together, Fang Yuan rubbed his chin.
”Congratulations!”
Li Zilong walked in. ”The metal cuffs made from special gold are smelted with your hidden needles, which will pierce through their acupunctures, disrupting the flow of their internal energy and from there, disrupt the balance in their small worlds! This is a genius idea... But only you will be able to think of it!”
”How? Have you thought of a name for it?”
”Let's call it the 'Demon Restraining Cuffs'!”
Fang Yuan rubbed his chin and a playful thought came to his mind.
”Mmm... no matter how powerful and evil the evolver may be, as long as he is wearing the Demon Restraining Cuffs, he will have to obediently face the law... This is great!”
Xi Menjian walked in and shook Fang Yuan's hand. ”Comrade Fang, your design is going to help us so much!”
”Chief, please be patient. There are still a few things to be improved. Firstly, we have to consider the rarity of this gold. Furthermore, the detailed smelting will have to go through rounds of discussion, for the hidden needles and engravings in the cuffs will have to be extremely accurate and be manufactured according to the standards of the human anatomy...”
