Chapter 850: The Undead of Monsters

“This isn’t just narrow-mindedness or a conflict of interests.”

A doctor from the Abnormal Beast Research Department, who was familiar with Meng Chao and Lu Siya, handed them a few brain scans.

On the walnut-like brain section, apart from the crisscrossed sulci, there were also a few groups of light spots that were very similar in shape.

As the biological electrical stimulation that entered the brain gradually increased, the light spots that danced like b.u.t.terflies gradually gathered together and turned into a hideous pattern that resembled a skull.

“This is…”

Meng Chao sucked in a breath of cold air.

It was not because the active brain areas of these patients happened to look like skulls..

Instead, he felt that these patterns looked familiar.

As expected, the doctor told them that there were ten brain scans in total.

The first five were the latest scans of the out-of-control superhumans who had just partic.i.p.ated in the chaotic battle.

The last five were from the humans who had been bewitched by the Supernatural Ent.i.ty, the Demonic Abyss Eye, during the attack on n.o.ble Descent Hotel, and the bandits, who had fallen into depravity and become the monsters’ puppets during the chaos in the Lair.

“Are you saying that Ma Hong and the others were also mentally attacked and brainwashed by the monsters?” Meng Chao was greatly surprised.

The Supernatural Ent.i.ty, the Demonic Abyss Eye, was one of the most terrifying enemies he had ever encountered.

That superbeast, which seemed to be a combination of a giant eyeball and a brain, had terrifying abilities that could magnify the obsession in a person’s heart and turn it into a psychological demon.

As the saying went, “talking about toxicity without talking about dosage is just acting like a hooligan.”

On the other hand, as long as the dosage was large enough, no matter how normal one’s thoughts were, they could turn into poison that would corrode one’s mind and drive one crazy.

Many ideas and methods to save Dragon City did not pose problems in themselves. At least they had the value of discussion.

However, if one was stubborn and dug deeper and deeper into the depths of an ox’s horn, it was very easy to fall into the abyss of error or even evil from a right and well-intentioned starting point.

It had been the same for Lin Chuan and Gao Ye.

They had all seen some problems in Dragon City, even structural contradictions.

Unfortunately, they had been bewitched by monsters, and they tried to solve these problems with wrong and extreme methods.

In the end, they destroyed themselves and almost destroyed Dragon City.

Could Ma Hong and the others have followed in their footsteps?

However, hadn’t the Supernatural Ent.i.ty, the Demonic Eye of the abyss, been killed by him a long time ago?

The monster civilization had been destroyed, and the mother could modulate the Supernatural Ent.i.ty had lost 99% of its activity. .

Why were there still people affected?

“We speculate that the extremely complicated spirit magnetic environment in the Hidden Mist Domain and the ancient information in the depths of Ruins No. 2 worked together and imperceptibly distorted the human spirit.”

The doctor said, “Since this is the place where the monster civilization was born, when humans stayed here for a long time and carried out high-intensity research and training, they would have to bear tremendous mental pressure. It was inevitable that some people’s thinking would deviate.”

Such a conclusion made Meng Chaoda frown.

They met Ma Hong in another ward.

Fortunately, Ma Hong had managed to break free from the effects of spirit energy deviation with his unyielding willpower and regained his consciousness.

Even so, his eyes were still deeply sunken and his expression was haggard. It was as if he had just completed a three-month survival mission in the wild.

“I don’t know how I became so crazy…”

Ma Hong’s face was pale and his lips were dry and cracked. He looked at his flesh and blood that had exploded due to overexertion, revealing his bones. His hands, which had just been st.i.tched up, said in a trembling voice, “At that time, my vision was blank, and I suddenly had an illusion. It was as if I had turned into a monster, and everyone around me had also turned into monsters—the most ferocious and ugly monsters on the ancient battlefield.

“However, there was a voice that kept reverberating in the depths of my brain. ‘kill it, kill them, kill all the monsters, devour their flesh and blood, and devour every bit of their bones and dregs. Evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve, evolve into the king of monsters, soaring above the starry sky!

“I was mesmerized by this voice.

“It was like… the meaning of my life.

“I completely accepted the ident.i.ty of a monster.

“Not only was I angry, but I was also filled with joy as I threw myself into the battle between the Monsters!”

Ma Hong’s self-narration attracted the attention of the medical team and the ancient ruins research center.

From the sound of it, it seemed that the ancient ruins’ summon had become even more powerful.

In the past, many superhumans in the depths of Ruins. No. 2 had experienced all kinds of illusions due to the interference of the ancient information.

They had even turned into monsters in their nightmares, secreting black mucus and forming giant pupae.

However, the nightmares could only harm themselves.

Before today, no extraordinary superhuman had lost control to such an extent.

“Is the mother not dead yet?”

Meng Chao was highly suspicious. “Its cells are still barely active, and its vitality magnetic field is spreading out to the outside world

“It depends on how you define the ‘mother’.”

Luscia said, “To put it in a narrow sense, if you define the mother as a micro brain and giant brain, even if the two thinking organs have not completely lost their activity, they are still under the absolute control of human beings. We have sealed them firmly with a lead shield mixed with seven layers of superalloy plates to ensure that not a single spiritual ripple similar to brainwaves can leak out.

“However, in the end, the mother’s body is a crystal lode that is several kilometers long, wide, and high, and buried deep underground. Its tentacles can even extend to hundreds of kilometers away. It is an enormous ancient creature. Many of its cells are characteristic of plant cells, and many plants can give birth to new life by cutting off a branch or spreading spores.

“Therefore, even if they were attacked by the s.p.a.ce-based orbit of the ancient civilization and bombarded by us incessantly. There is no guarantee that the mother is completely dead.

“Let’s broaden the definition of life. Who said that only a body of flesh and blood is a real life form? After all, the Ancients had already embarked on the path of spirit energy ascension. For the Ancients, the importance of magnetic field of life was probably greater than the body of flesh and blood in the beginning.

“Although the mother is not a life form in such a pure energy form, it is, after all, the creation of the Ancients. Naturally, it is affected by the Ancients.

“As you know, during the long hibernation that has lasted for billions of years, the mother’s vitality magnetic field has gradually merged with the magnetic field of the surrounding planets. The extreme weather in the Hidden Main Domain, the direction of the crystal veins, and the mist surrounding the Monster Mountains are all more or less affected by the mother.

“Then, can we consider the entire Hidden Mist Domain, and even the entire Monster Mountain Range, as a part of the mother’s body and an extension of its will?

“In that case, although we have defeated the monster civilization, the undead of the monster civilization might still be lingering in the foggy Heaven and Earth!”

Lu Siya’s guess made Meng Chao’s hair stand on end.

What was even more horrifying was the results of the psychological test that belonged to the out-of-control superhumans.

After a series of rigorous psychological tests, the average psychological index of the out-of-control superhumans was 134.

Even the test results of Ma Hong and the others were only 173.

That was a very strange thing.

The psychological index was the only standard that could measure the superhumans’ mental health under Dragon City’s current technological level.

The spirit index was usually maintained at 100 units, which represented mental health, strong will, and a balanced state of mind.

If one encountered a strange event and saw an indescribable horror, such as a hideous monster gnawing at human organs, the spirit index might fall all the way.

When the spirit index fell below 80, humans would feel a deep fear.

When the soul index fell below 60, the fear in the soul would be reflected to the physiological level, and humans would have shortness of breath, weakness in their limbs, and even the strength to lift a sword.

When the soul index fell below 40, the human brain would be completely blank, completely engulfed by fear.

When the soul index fell all the way below 10, humans could go crazy at any time, or even directly experience brain death.

Of course, with the successive victories of Dragon City’s civilization, such a situation did not happen very often.

In the flood of steel and the high and mighty strategic attack, the brainwaves of countless people stimulated each other, and the courage of one mind burned brightly, illuminating everyone’s mind.

Even if it was an ordinary soldier from the Red Dragon Army, it was not easy for his spirit index to drop to zero when facing Apocalyptic Beasts.

However, although the drop was terrifying, the increase in spirit index was also harmful.

When the spirit index exceeded 120, humans would feel that their courage had doubled and that they were ready to face death.

When the spirit index exceeded 140, humans would feel that they were invincible. No matter how violent the beasts were, they would not carry weight in their eyes.

Once the spirit index exceeded 160, humans would gradually be controlled by the urge to kill and destroy, and they would gradually lose their rationality.

When the spirit index exceeded 200, it was just like when the spirit index reached zero. Humans could go berserk at any time and become a pure killing machine.

When the killing reached its peak, it would no longer differentiate between monsters and humans who fell under its sword.

From the performance of Ma Hong and the other runaway superhumans earlier, their spirit index should be almost the same even if it had not broken through 200.

How could it be, the average index was only 134?

It should be known that, unlike the drop in the spirit index, the benefits of an increase in the spirit index were more than the disadvantages. The combat theory of Dragon City had always encouraged superhumans to increase their spirit index and enter a state of “controlled anger.”

Many cultivation systems had secret methods to stimulate the brain and increase the spirit index to the range of 120 to 140.

Experts believed that maintaining the spirit index within this range could not only ensure rationality but also increase one’s fighting strength through anger. It was also filled with fearless courage and was the most suitable state for fighting.

Such a spirit index could not be possessed as it prevented one from differentiating between friend and foe.
