Chapter 307: Chapter 222: Experimental Test, Another Moon Worshiper Dies
She whispered a few words to Lin Qi, briefly explaining the relationship between the three.
After hearing the explanation, Lin Qi sighed. ’Quite the love triangle.’
To think that in the Doomsday World, among only three Moon Worshipers, such a sordid story could still unfold.
’Make this poor guy who got pushed out be the guinea pig? And it would very likely cost him his life.’
This didn’t align with Lin Qi’s interests. Lin Qi wanted to sow discord among the Moon Worshipers to make it easier for Wei Yue to control them.
And so, Lin Qi made a simple decision.
He would pull the same old trick.
"You’re safe. You don’t have to do it. As for the other two, you can choose one yourselves."
The three Moon Worshipers were stunned. They never expected Lin Qi to pull something like this again.
The next second, in the face of life and death, all feelings proved false.
The man gave her a vicious shove, and the woman, Ni Huiqun, was pushed directly forward.
"No, it can’t be me! You go! You touch that thing! It’s deadly!"
Endless terror showed in the woman’s eyes.
The three of them had a much stronger reaction to this Extraordinary Item than Wei Yue did.
From this Extraordinary Item, they felt a profound threat of death.
"Cai Chang, help me! Push him over there! I’ll give you anything, anything at all!"
Realizing she couldn’t do anything on her own, Ni Huiqun immediately looked at the first man who had been pushed out.
But in the face of life and death, all desire is false.
Having barely managed to save his own skin, how could the unlucky Cai Chang possibly help her now?
’This is the third time! The third time this woman has screwed me over!
The first time, when Lin Qi was purging the Moon Worshipers, she left me off the list of survivors, putting me on the death list instead. Luckily, that demon Lin Qi killed in the reverse order.
The second time, aside from Wei Yue, there were only three Moon Worshipers left. The damn woman was whispering sweet nothings to me one day, trying to win me over, only to switch targets the next. She’d clearly distinguished the strong from the weak.
In her own words, "It’s the apocalypse. What’s wrong with me finding someone more powerful? Whether it’s combat power or *combat power*, you, Cai Chang, are no match for him!"
The third time was just now, when that woman shoved me out to die without a moment’s hesitation.
Under these circumstances, how could I possibly help her?’
Besides, Cai Chang already understood. The one who could truly decide this matter wasn’t any of the three Moon Worshipers present, but the terrifying Lin Qi.
’Based on the current situation, one of that wretched pair would have to be the one to die.’
As his eyes flickered, Cai Chang glanced at the other man beside him.
To be honest, Cai Chang was harboring a few fantasies.
’If, in the end, the one sent to die wasn’t Ni Huiqun, but...’
’Then...’
All sorts of dark thoughts erupted in his mind.
But Lin Qi’s Spiritual Vision picked up all these micro-expressions.
Lin Qi made his decision on the spot.
An invisible Spiritual Tentacle extended, then instantly materialized, coiling around the female Moon Worshiper, Ni Huiqun, and pulling her toward the box containing the Tier Five Extraordinary Item.
’If he left this woman alive, who knew what kind of trouble she might stir up later.’
’That Moon Worshiper named Cai Chang seemed to hate her to the bone right now.’
’But if the opportunity arose, Lin Qi couldn’t say for sure what might happen in the future.’
"No!"
"Don’t, please don’t!"
"AHH!"
The closer she got to the Tier Five Extraordinary Item, the more violently Ni Huiqun struggled, her voice turning into something close to a shriek.
Lin Qi opened his Spiritual Vision to observe. The Tier Five Extraordinary Item in the box also seemed to show a slight reaction.
A small amount of Exotic Spiritual Particles appeared, slowly gathering, seeming to be on the verge of bursting into a point of light.
But before the point of light could erupt, Ni Huiqun suddenly fell silent.
Her Spiritual Power was showing severe abnormalities.
It was overflowing, distorting, and even squeezing and colliding with her physical body.
Lin Qi’s expression shifted slightly as he witnessed this.
This scene felt very familiar to Lin Qi.
Those Exotic Spiritual Particles were strikingly similar to the Holy Light used by the Round Table Conference under the European Big Business Alliance in the Cyber World.
And the reaction of Ni Huiqun’s Spiritual Power was also very similar to how a Wizard reacted after encountering Holy Light.
However, her Spiritual Power lacked the trait of fusing with the physical body. After being squeezed against her flesh, it shattered violently.
Ni Huiqun was now dead.
But her physical body was not yet dead; her internal organs were still functioning.
What had truly died was her spirit.
For someone who had not yet formed a Sea of Consciousness, the shattering of one’s Spiritual Power was a fatal blow.
Lin Qi retracted his Spiritual Tentacles, letting Ni Huiqun’s "corpse" fall to the ground.
Lin Qi had already made his judgment: ’This Tier Five Extraordinary Item is basically a Doomsday World version of a super Holy Light, and the Blood Moon is clearly related to the Wizard Profession from the Cyber World.’
’Judging by how Holy Light suppresses Wizards, this thing will have absolutely no positive effect on the Blood Moon.’
At the same time, Lin Qi also felt a sense of relief.
’This isn’t some ordinary Tier Five Extraordinary Item; it’s a landmine.’
’Although a Wizard could analyze Extraordinary Items, who knew if his body could withstand analyzing an item that seemed to be imbued with a massive amount of doomsday-version Holy Light.’
"What happened to her?"
Looking at Ni Huiqun’s condition, Wei Yue had her suspicions, but without Lin Qi’s Spiritual Vision, she couldn’t see things clearly.
"Her Spiritual Power shattered. It’s a spiritual death, even more complete than brain death."
Lin Qi stated the truth bluntly, which also served as a warning to the two remaining Moon Worshipers.
After hearing Lin Qi’s reply, Wei Yue breathed a sigh of relief, then broke into a smile. "It seems your theory has been successfully proven. The plan to delay the Blood Moon’s mutation can proceed."
Lin Qi nodded.
Then, his gaze fell upon the two remaining Moon Worshipers in the conference room. "Drag her back to the workshop for the Blood Moon Descent Objects. A Moon Worshiper’s corpse should be more useful than a Zombie’s."
There was no need to have the Mo University Camp squad members handle such trivial matters. Since the two Moon Worshipers were right here, they could conveniently drag her away.
And the squad waiting outside the door could supervise.
Wei Yue showed no reaction. Even if all these Moon Worshipers died, it wouldn’t be much of a psychological burden for her.
With the Blood Moon’s mutation imminent, these three Moon Worshipers had been quite restless lately.
The hearts of the two remaining Moon Worshipers instantly turned to ice.
’What did he mean, "a Moon Worshiper’s corpse"?’
’She’s a corpse already?’
’Her heart is clearly still beating, she’s still warm and soft, and he’s calling her a corpse?’
’Sent straight to a pile of Zombie corpses to be made into a Blood Moon Descent Object?’
’He’s terrifying. The founder of the Mo University Camp is simply terrifying.’
’How could someone like him get the approval of the Headquarters? How could the Mo University Camp possibly become an accredited camp?’
’This demon is even more terrifying than a Moon Worshiper!’
They only dared to say such things in their hearts, not daring to show any hint of it in front of Lin Qi.
Under Wei Yue’s supervision, they could only strictly obey Lin Qi’s command, carrying Ni Huiqun toward the building where the Blood Moon Descent Objects were made.
Only Lin Qi remained in the conference room.
His gaze rested on the box containing the Tier Five Extraordinary Item.
Frowning, Lin Qi chose not to investigate it further.
’Who knew if this thing would react to a Wizard?’
Although Lin Qi didn’t feel the same disgust as Wei Yue or the threat of death like the Moon Worshipers, he was unwilling to touch the object right now.
The idea of keeping it to analyze for his breakthrough to Tier Five after reaching the Tier Four Limit had completely vanished.
Lin Qi’s current plan was simple: stick to the procedure, finish building the rocket as quickly as possible, and send this thing into space.
As long as he could curb the Blood Moon’s mutation, even two months’ time would be enough for Lin Qi to get a lot done.
Besides, there wasn’t just one of these Tier Five Extraordinary Items; there were four in total.
Even if the Headquarters’ launch failed, Lin Qi could bring back more advanced spacecraft from the Cyber World later to remedy the situation.
If everything went smoothly, Lin Qi could secure up to a year of stable development time.
By then, Lin Qi would have plenty of time to search for other Extraordinary Items.
Tier Four, Tier Five—both were within reach. There was no need to be hasty.
