Of course, the director did not intend to keep it a secret from anyone, but he did not want to bring psychological pressure to everyone at the beginning. The researcher was constantly testing and checking the feedback from the equipment, while other processors began to get busy. At the same time, several people also keenly sensed something, their expressions changed slightly, and they quickly found the director to tell him about it.
The director then told the other party about the existence of a huge heart underground, and at the same time asked them not to tell anyone else as everyone was under a lot of pressure at the moment.
At dusk, everyone planned to camp here, because this world was centered on this evil tree, and detection instruments had explored all the places around it, and there was nothing worth paying attention to.
Everyone brought some dry food with them, and after a quick meal, they sat down to rest. At the same time, several handlers were patrolling and keeping an eye on the evil tree.
About three hours later, the world seemed to be gradually shrouded in thick gray fog, and it was a bit like dark. The visibility around was reduced, and the handler who was on shift directly turned on the nearby searchlight, so the surroundings could be slightly visible.
But it is not limited to that tree. Currently, no one knows what the consequences will be if a living person gets close to that tree, so everyone dares not get too close. Therefore, when the gray fog began to cover the world, some people could no longer see the tree.
But there was one exception.
That's Xu Dongyou
When Xu Dongyou opened his five senses, he could even see the tree through the thick gray fog, including the evil spirits hanging on the branches and leaves, but these evil spirits were not yet mature and were still hanging there quietly. At first glance, it looked as if the tree was full of corpses hanging from it.
Especially weird and creepy.
Suddenly, Xu Dongyou noticed that one of the evil spirits seemed to be moving without wind, swaying as if it would fall down at any time. He immediately stood up and hurried to find the director to talk about the matter.
The director immediately mobilized people and asked Xu Dongyou to lead the way. Without getting close to the tree, they intercepted the evil spirit and conducted research. They needed to determine what different changes this evil spirit had in this world and in the outside world.
After a few minutes, the swaying evil spirit finally broke away from the branch and fell to the ground. It stood there quietly, with a faint smile on its blue face. Xu Dongyou felt uneasy for some reason and said to the director, "Director, we have to be careful. This evil spirit looks different from the previous ones."
He did not feel any sense of crisis at the moment, but the lingering weirdness in his heart was always there, making it difficult for Xu Dongyou to ignore it. He could only use this method to remind others to cheer up.
The evil spirit began to move forward. Its pupils, which were filled with darkness and looked grim but not flexible at all, soon arrived at where Xu Dongyou and the others were, and finally stopped.
It was not the first time that the handlers had seen evil spirits, but it was the first time they had encountered this kind of evil spirits that had not yet entered the real world. No one knew how these evil spirits were different from the evil spirits in the outside world and what abilities they had.
It's just like the evil spirits outside, which are generally invisible, but the evil spirits in this world can be seen with the naked eye.
The most important thing is that the evil spirit stopped in front of them.
Without the director's reminder, some people directly took out their best attack methods and weapons. Xu Dongyou did the same. He used a strengthened dagger, and at the same time he did not forget to condense his demonic power, ready to attack at any time.
However, the evil spirit did not react at all and just stood there motionless.
The atmosphere seemed to become tense at this moment.
"Chief, should I try to seal it?" one of the handlers asked.
The director frowned and said, "Not yet. Let's see what it wants to do first. Let's make way for it to pass. Maybe we are blocking its way."
Although their original intention was to stop the evil spirit from leaving, they now wanted to know why the evil spirit stopped.
Everyone did as they were told and quickly made way for the evil spirit to pass a path large enough for five people to walk side by side.
The evil spirit still did not move, quietly staring at some people, which made some people vaguely want to avoid its sight. The more they came into contact with the evil spirit, the more they understood how powerful it was.
At least evil ghosts have traces to follow, but evil spirits do not. They act completely according to the rules, and their ways of triggering murder opportunities are also bizarre. Some are even hard to imagine. Take the game event as an example. Who would have thought that playing a game could actually trigger an evil spirit event, and even get sucked into the game world later.
In fact, the longer the event lasts, the harder it is to return to the real world.
Therefore, this evil gaze made some people feel defensive, and no one knew whether the evil's killing intent might be related to the gaze.
"Director?" Some of the handlers couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to fight back urgently.
At the same time, Xu Dongyou opened his five senses and saw that the gray fog on the evil spirit seemed to be thicker and was spreading to everyone. Xu Dongyou's heart suddenly skipped a beat. This scene seemed a bit like the previous one.
Xu Dongyou paid close attention and discovered that the more someone stared at the evil spirit, the stronger the gray mist on his body would be. Could it be that staring at the evil spirit would trigger the so-called opportunity to kill
Xu Dongyou immediately informed someone of his discovery, and after hearing this, someone became nervous. As long as they knew the evil spirit's reason for killing, they could avoid the possibility of being targeted.
The director immediately ordered someone to stop staring at the evil spirit, and at the same time asked the handler with the strongest mental resistance to stare at the evil spirit and keep moving towards the researcher so that he could conduct close research on the researcher.
The handler did as he was told and after staring for about five minutes, the evil spirit finally moved and began to approach the handler. Everyone was ready to attack at any time, and someone was setting a trap in the back to trap the evil spirit.
The handler kept backing away, like flying a kite, leading the evil spirit into the trap, and then immediately put an invisibility talisman on himself.
is an invisibility talisman, which is not actually invisible in the true sense, but a way to reduce the sense of presence. It is also effective against evil spirits, but the duration of the effect varies, mainly depending on the power of the evil spirit.
The evil spirit, having lost its target, stayed where it was, motionless.
At this time, the researcher immediately went on stage to set up the equipment and started testing. After about ten minutes, the invisibility talisman took effect.
The evil spirit found its target again and immediately approached the handler, but was trapped in the trap and was spinning in place. It was estimated that the trap would be destroyed in ten minutes.
Some people also used this to judge the power of this evil spirit.
It's considered to be of the first-class level.
Everyone relaxed a little at this moment. Not only did they have so many handlers, but most importantly, they had updated the equipment, so they could completely defeat the evil spirit.
However, since no one knew what effect eliminating the evil spirit in this world would have on the evil spirit tree, after discussion, they decided to trap the evil spirit, although they also thought about letting it leave this world.
But the problem is that this evil spirit has already formed a killing opportunity for the handler and will not leave this world at all, so the only way to temporarily trap this evil spirit is to use the sealing stone, not to seal it.
The crisis is over.
The handler exhaled.
The evil spirit suppressed by the sealing stone has actually lost all its activity and ability, and is no longer of great reference value. However, this researcher is the first time to encounter an evil spirit that is invisible for him to study. He finds the director and asks to absorb some of the evil spirit's tissue.
Someone: “…”
The people in the research department are really cruel.
The director thought about it and agreed. The researcher immediately thanked him excitedly, then ran to the evil spirit and used tweezers and a knife to remove a part of the tissue. However, strangely, after this part of the tissue was separated from the evil spirit, it turned into gray mist and quickly disappeared.
The researcher's excited smile froze instantly.
It was a bad idea.
But when he thought about it carefully, it seemed to be true. After all, these evil spirits themselves had no entity, so there was no natural way to really remove the tissue. He refused to give up, so he simply absorbed some of the tissue again and put the tissue into the sealed instrument at an extremely fast speed.
He shook the instrument and saw gray mist floating inside, which did not disappear.
The researcher nodded in satisfaction and carefully put away the sealing instrument. He also found a very tiny sealing stone and stuck it on the instrument.
He is a very careful researcher.
At night, everyone started to rest, but Xu Dongyou was still on guard. After all, he was the only one who could see the evil tree. When it was daybreak, everyone let Xu Dongyou take a rest.
There were still many people who seemed a little unfriendly, but Xu Dongyou felt that it was nothing. Since his strength had become stronger and stronger, he actually didn't need to sleep much. He could even maintain full energy for three days and three nights.
However, this was indeed a bit too outrageous, even unusual. When the fog was about to dissipate in the morning, everyone urged Xu Dongyou to catch up on his sleep, while the others began to approach the evil tree.
After a busy morning, some people already knew that the heart of the tree was underground. They always felt a little uneasy, and had the illusion that they were being monitored by the evil tree no matter what they did.
On the first day, they stopped about 300 meters away from the evil tree and began to set traps made of sealing stones around it. They then moved another 200 meters closer and continued to set traps.
During this period, several evil spirits have matured and landed. How could anyone not understand what is going on
The tree has sensed the crisis, and is now letting the evil spirit mature to deal with someone!
It could also mean that... this tree does have some thinking ability, or it could be an instinctive reaction. Whatever it is, it's not a good thing.
