Chapter 318: Birth of the Second Supernatural Entity!
Meng Chao’s pupils narrowed to the size of a needle tip.
Before Gao Ye could say the last word, Meng Chao fired his chain sabers at the speed of lightning. He accurately cut off all the cables connected to Gao Ye’s helmet.
The ends of the cables let out crackling sparks and fell on the floor like dead snakes.
Meng Chao sighed in relief.
Gao Ye’s smile just became brighter.
“Did you think that I would use this superbrain helmet to transfer my consciousness outward? Was that why you have been eyeing the cables above my head all this while? Were you ensuring that they don’t release any powerful spirit energy ripples? Was that why you patiently stalled for time with me? Was that it?” Gao Ye asked faintly. “But how could I place the real equipment to transfer my consciousness in such an obvious place?”
Meng Chao had a bad feeling. He gritted his teeth and strode forward. He did not care about Gao Ye’s disability and kicked the wheelchair over.
Gao Ye fell on the floor like a torn ragdoll, which revealed numerous rows of cables connected to his spine.
These cables went into the wheelchair, and through it extended to a corner of the lab with really messy cables.
Meng Chao could sense powerful spirit energy fluctuations from them.
It was as if waves of spirit energy were being transferred from Gao Ye’s body to some part of the lab.
Meng Chao yanked off all the cables while saying, “What are these?!”
“It’s useless,” Gao Ye said calmly. “I’ve been talking to you for a really long time, and I was using the consciousness transferring equipment all the time. Now, we’re at the last step. I just completed it through the wireless network. Even if you disassemble the entire lab, you won’t be able to stop me.”
Meng Chao’s skin crawled. He remembered the Supernatural Entity from his nightmares and fear entered his voice. “Y-You’re mad! You turned yourself into an experimental subject!”
“The transferring of consciousness is extremely dangerous, and the research itself breaks ethics and morals. If I don’t dare to become an experimental subject, how would I have the dignity to look for volunteers to conduct the experiment?” Gao Ye asked faintly. “It’s only by turning myself into the first experiment that I will be able to gather a large amount of data, and the experiment will become more stable and safe. Then, I can progress to the next stage of the research.
“I was going to use the large amount of resources from Spirit Creation Creatures, which would have helped me complete the research wearlier and in a smoother fashion.
“But now, I have no other choice. Some elites have entered the company. There are at least three Heaven Realm elites among them. They’re the reinforcements you have been waiting for, right?
“I’m happy that I was able to meet a bosom buddy like you, Meng Chao, but I’m afraid that our conversation will have to come to an end for the time being. I believe that we will have a chance to meet again. At that time, I will definitely introduce my friends to you.”
Gao Ye extended a skeletal arm and gave Meng Chao a wave.
Meng Chao’s skin crawled. He yanked Gao Ye up from the floor.
Gao Ye did not have all limbs, so he was light and did not have much weight. He was like a skeleton with only skin covering it.
The light in his single eye quickly faded away along with the soul behind it.
“No…”
In Meng Chao’s eyes, Gao Ye was dying, and he did not know how he should keep the last bit of the man’s soul in his body.
Before he could think of a way, the light in Gao Ye’s single eye completely disappeared.
His breathing and heartbeat stopped completely and his vitality magnetic field vanished like a candle in a storm. Even if Meng Chao grabbed his shoulders tightly, all he would be holding was just a cold corpse.
Behind the strengthened window, the Ultimate Sandworm gradually woke up in the huge hatching pond.
Countless monitors screeched, and the researchers cried out in surprise. The red light signalling high security alert flashed nonstop. In the midst of chaos, the Ultimate Sandworm yanked off the dozen steel cables restraining it and raised its head like an aquatic dragon.
Meng Chao could clearly see a bump forming quickly behind the slits on its head.
Then, with a loud bang, the air that was sucked into the bump gushed out after it went through super high compression.
It blared in an airtight space like a huge horn. The airflow tore through the air at nearly sonic speed and destroyed the eardrums of the dozen researchers in the room. It also shattered the strengthened window in front of Meng Chao.
He felt as if two burning drills had been stabbed into his eardrums, and they reduced his ear canals, cochlea, auditory nerves, and brains into mush.
When he reached out to touch his ears, he felt blood.
Before he could focus, the second attack came charging at him.
This time, the Ultimate Sandworm did not use a soundwave. Instead, it used a mind attack that was so vicious Meng Chao could not block it.
The creature’s mental power was like an avalanche. It turned into visible ripples that rammed into the brains of researchers and Meng Chao.
The researchers cried out in pain. They rolled on the floor while cradling their heads.
Meng Chao could sense all his brain cells crackling as if they were popcorn, and his mental strength index started plummeting.
“Do you remember our conversation about whether monsters can possess intelligence?”
A dense row of small holes appeared under the Ultimate Sandworm’s slits.
