Chapter 895: Qi Yao's New Assignment

The Laboratory he is in is completely sealed; not a single atom can get out.

The Laboratory is essentially a massive reactor. If necessary, we can burn this guy.

……

Early the next morning, Lin Feng stood with Qi Yao in front of the monitor, watching Deweisi in the Laboratory.

Deweisi stared unblinking at the computer screen, watching the continuously scrolling data.

Suddenly, his eyeball burst with a "bang" inside his socket.

Deweisi lifted his hand and peeled off the damaged eyeball.

Then, an eyeball constructed from Small Robots grew out.

Next to Deweisi was a trash can, already filled with a lot of skin and muscle tissue.

"While he's calculating, his body is also mass‑producing Small Robots,"

Qi Yao said lightly.

A look of interest appeared in her eyes.

Lin Feng said, "Huang Ziping and Yang Yi have analyzed it; this guy's body is essentially a complete factory.

One could also say it possesses a full production chain.

The robots inside him have very clear divisions of labor.

There are robots that form the skeleton, robots that form the skin, robots that gather information and perform computational processing…

Just like the cellular tissues that make up our bodies.

However, being machines, they aren't as complex as we are.

"Did we get a sample?"

Qi Yao asked.

Lin Feng shook his head, "If we obtain a sample now, he'll detect it.

I think, for Deweisi, that's an untouchable line, just as Yao Yao is to me."

Qi Yao grasped Lin Feng's hand tighter.

She loves these spontaneous remarks Lin Feng makes, whether there's a reason or not.

Although outwardly calm, her heart was sweet, stirring with waves of excitement.

Calming herself, Qi Yao asked, "Has his combat capability been evaluated?"

Lin Feng shook his head, "No! Lin Qiuxia, while interacting with him, has seen him devour a person.

They were ordinary people, without Enhancers.

Therefore, this guy's combat power is far stronger than that of ordinary people.

Lin Qiuxia wanted to send an Enhancer to fight him, but feared it would trigger him into becoming a combat‑type robot.

It would also activate his survival and emergency protocols.

In that case, if he escaped, it would be a huge trouble.

Fortunately, this guy's intelligence level isn't high, or rather, higher intelligence is disabled unless there's danger,

and only unlocks under special circumstances."

Qi Yao nodded, "Getting him tricked into coming here was truly difficult."

"Indeed!"

Lin Feng sighed, "Lin Qiuxia is almost turning into a yellow‑haired girl."

He said, pointing at his head, "Constant overthinking turns one's hair yellow."

Luring Deweisi over seemed simple, but in reality it was extremely complicated.

The hardest part was gaining Deweisi's trust.

If Lin Qiuxia hadn't received Jing Wu's inheritance, she wouldn't have earned Deweisi's initial approval.

During normal interactions with Deweisi, they must rehearse in advance.

Every sentence spoken must be thought over repeatedly.

Also Deweisi's surroundings.

The previous boss was devoured by Deweisi; someone reported it, but the police didn't come.

Many people nearby disappeared, yet nothing was announced.

And the daily occurrences of certain people on the surrounding streets.

Almost every incident was deliberately arranged.

In other words, they try to keep Deweisi in a comfortable environment, avoiding external stimuli.

Otherwise, even if Deweisi's murders go unnoticed, his methods would soon cause trouble.

Then, events would develop in an uncontrollable direction.

According to Lin Feng and Lin Qiuxia's estimates, a combat‑ready Deweisi would activate survival and battle modes.

His body would mass‑produce Small Robots.

Then one would split into two, three; three would split into dozens… until there is ample self‑preservation.

At that point, catching the guy would be virtually impossible.

Of course, this is merely speculation.

But what if such a situation arises?

Such a thing must not have any "what ifs."

Fortunately, all the Small Robots that compose Deweisi are now confined here.

"This time was our luck; from now on we must be increasingly careful in our actions."

After Lin Feng finished speaking, a wave of fear rose in his heart.

Fortunately, Heaven has always been on our side.

"What are you researching now?"

Lin Feng asked.

Usually he does not ask Qi Yao what she is researching.

But Qi Yao's research over the past few days made Lin Feng feel somewhat strange.

Qi Yao said lightly: "The follow-up research on the Enhancement Agent has reached a bottleneck."

Moreover, I feel there's no need to continue researching.

Because the experimental equipment we currently have cannot support my continued research.

If we want to continue researching, we must invest effort and time into researching more advanced equipment.

Enhancement Agent Eleven is also working on that; I've sent him all the data, so unless there's something special, I don't plan to continue with related experiments.

So, I recalled some past events...

Having said this, Qi Yao wanted to speak but stopped.

"Speak up!"

Lin Feng pinched Qi Yao's beautiful cheek.

Having given birth and become a mother, her skin remains as before, bouncy.

Qi Yao continued: "I told you before, one day while collecting evidence at the scene, a woman in red clothes was hanging from the beam behind me."

She looked exactly like the corpse in front of her, swaying back and forth...

Lin Feng felt his heart pound with fear.

He put himself in Qi Yao's position and realized that if he encountered such a situation, he would surely scream and run away.

"There was also another time..."

Qi Yao continued: "Once, a murder case occurred."

No trace of the murderer was found; when I went alone at night to investigate, someone was in the room...

"Stop!"

Lin Feng hurriedly said: "You mean you are now turning to research spiritual matters."

He did not want to say those two words, but used "spirit" instead.

Qi Yao nodded and said: "Witch Tribe members can all create Spirits that run onto Māo ér's body; then what about us humans?"
