Chapter 326: No Clue

Their brainwave activity is 50% higher than before, which means they can hear things that ordinary people cannot.

As for what those things that ordinary people cannot hear might be, generally speaking, there are a few options.

First, whispers from the Old Ones, that is, the so-called deities in Cthulhu mythology, such as the three pillar gods Shub-Niggurath, Yog-Sothoth, and Nyarlathotep.

When a mortal hears the whispers of the Old Ones, their sanity will vanish and they will transform into a thrall; the only solution is to kill them, to kill those mortals who have heard the whispers of the Old Ones.

It cannot be said that the only way is to kill the mortals; if this mortal's sanity value is high enough, they can also endure it.

Second, a certain stubborn Tzeentch has truly invaded this place, and everything is part of his plan.

The only solution... is still to kill them.

Because this thing called Tzeentch is truly like a stubborn plaster; it simply cannot be shaken off! Unless one kills Tzeentch directly.

Third, it is that they have truly gone insane.

To tell the truth, Ye Cang would rather they be insane; at least they would live happily and not have to die.

But if it is the first two... then the only choice left for them is a dead end.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Cang looked at those researchers with a hint of killing intent in his eyes.

If it were the Old Ones or Tzeentch, then he would have no choice but to send them on their way.

Whichever of these two it is, there is no saving them; letting them depart without pain is the correct solution.

At this moment, Ye Cang did not speak, just quietly watching them.

After a good while, they finally came back to their senses.

The researchers who had come back to their senses had faces full of disappointment.

"Tch, there's no sound at all! I think you're the one who wanted to hear that sound so much you had an auditory hallucination!"

"I agree, I think it was just a hallucination; I suggest locking him in a mental hospital!"

"Since that's the case, let's put it to a vote!"

Just then, Ye Cang, who was standing at the very front, coughed lightly.

This cough made all the researchers snap back to reality.

"Ah, sorry, Chief Engineer! We were just..." the researcher standing at the very front said with an apologetic look.

Ye Cang waved his hand, interrupting them.

"It's fine, it's fine."

"I'm quite curious about that sound you mentioned; what is going on with that sound? Can you tell me about it?"

Upon hearing this, the researcher immediately said: "It's like this, Chief Engineer, we aren't too sure about the specifics either."

"It's just that ever since we had a fever, some of us have been able to hear some whispers in our ears from time to time."

"But no matter how we listen to those whispers, we can never hear them clearly; there hasn't been any progress at all!"

When he said this, that researcher suddenly looked around.

Then he leaned into Ye Cang's ear and whispered: "Chief Engineer, there is something I must tell you alone."

"It's that among us, someone's brain has developed a problem!"

Ye Cang:...

Sometimes he really didn't know what to say; shouldn't the whole group have a problem with their brains in this situation?

Although he really didn't want to say it, it was the truth.

Seeing that Ye Cang was not speaking, that researcher continued: "Didn't I tell you just now that we could hear a series of whispers, but could never hear them clearly?"

"One of us said he heard it clearly; he told us it was a whispering sound emitted by machines, that the machines had endless things to say, with different emotions."

Hearing this, Ye Cang ruled out the option of the Old Ones' whispers.

The whispers of the Old Ones are incomprehensible; once understood, one either goes directly insane or transforms into their thrall.

Currently, the options left were Tzeentch and mental illness.

With two options remaining, Ye Cang himself did not know how to choose.

Both of these had a high probability.

After finishing these things, the researcher retreated back to his original position.

Ye Cang nodded and said he understood.

Then he collected blood from everyone on site, preparing to go back for testing.

What if it wasn't Tzeentch or mental illness?

What if there was another reason?

Nothing could be said for sure; only through experimentation could the correct answer be obtained.

After collecting the blood of everyone present, Ye Cang chatted with all the researchers for a little while longer before turning to leave.

The first thing he did after coming outside the Underground Base was to immediately contact the Dayi Base on the Moon, and after confirming that the personnel stationed there were fine.

He had them aim their Laser Weapon at the Underground Base.

As soon as he gave the order, they would fire immediately, destroying the entire Underground Research Base.

At the same time, he had tens of thousands of Sub-secondary Warriors surround the exit of the Underground Research Base tightly.

Sub-secondary Warriors refer to warriors with strength above 5 tons.

After doing all this, Ye Cang immediately returned to his laboratory, preparing to test the blood of these research personnel.

A moment later, Ye Cang returned to his laboratory.

Kaisha assisted him, and the two began to test all the blood samples.

Attempting to find where the problem lay this time.

Just as Ye Cang and Kaisha were busy working away.

Di Leina suddenly appeared and strongly demanded that Ye Cang find some tasks for her as well.

Being the only one idle made him feel uneasy.

Immediately, Ye Cang assigned a task to Di Leina.

"Di Leina, just go back to my house, sit cross-legged on the sofa, eat snacks, watch TV, and play games; do whatever you want, but you are not allowed to disturb me!"

After receiving this order, Di Leina was completely confused.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, she began to protest strongly.

"Wow, Ye Cang, you are really going too far, how can you be so perfunctory with me!" Di Leina said, feigning sadness.

"I also want to help you out; I am a Lieyang Main God after all, I can't just stay idle all the time!"

To this, Ye Cang replied as follows.

"Di Leina, then look at the blood tests, the data comparisons, and the microscope; which of these three jobs do you think you can do?"

"If you think you can, then come ahead."

After hearing this, Di Leina immediately quieted down, turned around, and left without saying another word.

Just kidding, she couldn't do any of the three jobs Ye Cang mentioned.

She had better just go be a quiet couch potato.

After Di Leina left, Ye Cang began to busy himself again.

About two days later, the blood analysis reports for all the Super Soldiers and the personnel at the Underground Research Base were all completed.

They showed that everyone was in good health with no problems at all.

This left Ye Cang in a difficult position.

If there were no problems, then why did they still have persistent high fevers?

And the people at the Underground Research Base... they had all heard the whispers.

Furthermore, according to the news from the last two days.

The situation over at the Underground Research Base was becoming increasingly serious.

Now, all the research personnel could hear the whispers from time to time, and the frequency of hearing the whispers had increased significantly!
