Chapter 197: Mo

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After returning to Star City for half a day and letting Wei Wei record the relevant data of the control mark, Feng Qi hurriedly returned to the Science and Technology Research Institute.

He left the abyss for a short while, but ultimately had to return there.

This was his fate of this timeline of sacrifice.

From then on, Feng Qi studied and worked at the same time. He wanted to obtain higher authority and collect more information before he died young.

He would also contact Wei Wei often to prepare for the upcoming battle against the Tiger Soul Research Institute.

During this period, he obtained a lot of information about the Science and Technology Research Institute.

Especially after learning that there was always a person locked in the Meta Laboratory right at the very core of the Science and Technology Research Institute.

His name was Mo®, and he was a super genius who was highly valued by the domain creatures behind the Science and Technology Research Institute.

At the same time, Mo was also the founder of the spiritual energy nanomites project.

He completed the entire framework for creating the spiritual energy nanomites alone.

However, no one in the Science and Technology Research Institute had seen his true appearance. No one even knew if he was a human or a domain creature.

His existence was like a legend in the core circle of the Science and Technology Research Institute.

If not for the new technological products constantly being launched by the Meta Laboratory, no one would believe that such a person existed.

Feng Qi’s understanding of him came from the latest technological product of the Science and Technology Research Institute.

Spiritual Qi Forbidden Zone.

The researchers in their core circle were only in charge of testing the effect of this technological product. The actual forging had already been completed.

When it reached their hands, it was already a finished product.

However, the subsequent test results shocked Feng Qi.

The Spiritual Qi Forbidden Zone was shaped like a black metal ball. There was a large amount of special spiritual energy substance stored inside.

The way it was used was similar to the hand grenades before the calamity.

It did not have any lethality, but it could be said to be the nemesis of spiritual cultivators.

When the Spiritual Qi Forbidden Zone was activated, with it as the center, all the Spiritual Qi within a one-kilometer radius would be expelled, turning the area into a forbidden zone of Spiritual Qi.

If used when fighting the spiritual cultivators of the cultivation system,

ilt was equivalent to cutting off their mana regeneration ability, turning them into lambs waiting to be slaughtered after exhausting the Spiritual Qi in their bodies.

According to the content written on the usage instructions, the Spiritual Qi Forbidden Zone they tested was only a first-generation product.

Mo, who created this Spiritual Qi Forbidden Zone could also upgrade and modify it, expanding the range of the Spiritual Qi Forbidden Zone to a radius of ten kilometers or even higher.

In addition to the Spiritual Qi Forbidden Zone and the spiritual energy nanomites project, Mo had also developed many black technology products.

These technologies greatly armed the Science and Technology Research Institute, allowing them not only to have elite domain combat teams, but also a large number of cutting-edge technological weapons, helping their strength to increase by leaps and bounds.

This made Feng Qi curious about “Mo”.

He really wanted to know why he had so many fantastical ideas and could even create super black technology like the spiritual energy nanomites.

However, with his authority at the fourth tier of the core circle, he could not come into contact with “Mo” at all.

He could only give up on this for the time being.

Other than that, it was difficult for him to carry out operations against the Tiger Soul Research Institute with his current level of authority.

The opportunity finally came when he was 30 years old.

The third domain combat team, in the core circle of the Science and Technology Research Institute, the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team, was severely injured by a mysterious force. Almost all the upper echelons of the combat team were killed.

This domain combat team was very important to the Science and Technology Research Institute.

Many missions that were inconvenient for the Science and Technology Research Institute to front would be resolved by the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team, including missions to assassinate the new generation of human geniuses.

The captain of combat team was a second-tier figure in the core circle of the Science and Technology Research Institute.

The core circle of the Science and Technology Research Institute held a meeting on the same day.

The final decision to send a core member to take over the position of the captain and continue to lead the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team on secret missions.

Feng Qi was on the list of candidates.

The secret forces behind the Science and Technology Research Institute thought very highly of his cruelty and believed that he could complete the mission very well.

However, he was only one of the candidates.

In addition to him, four core circle members were also on the list.

They had all contributed to the development of the Science and Technology Research Institute, and they all had a smart brain and the ability to command the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team.

Faced with a choice, the black shadow sitting at the head of the meeting table believed that ability was one thing, but to be the leader of the Wolf-Devouring Domain Combat Team, one needed to be capable and able to convince the crowd.

It was ultimately decided that in a month, they would be judged on their own capabilities to determine who would be the new leader of the Wolf-Devouring Domain Combat Team.

The decision of the meeting was beyond what Feng Qi had expected.

The exact reason why the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team was encircled was because of the Scarlet Research Institute.

The goal was to create a path for him to rise up.

As long as he controlled a domain combat team under the Science and Technology Research Institute, he could find an opportunity to launch an operation against the Tiger Soul Research Institute.

He originally thought that the domain faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute admired him very much and would definitely give him the appointment.

He did not expect that he would pull out four others to compete with him.

Over the past few years, he had spent all his time studying and had never cultivated.

The only enhancement was the genetic injection he had received at the Scarlet Research Institute. If he really wanted to compete for the position of captain as the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team with his strength, his chances were slim.

Faced with this predicament, Feng Qi did not give up.

Because he still had a month. He wanted to use this month to become stronger.

There was a place in the Science and Technology Research Institute that could do this.

That was the area under his jurisdiction, the biochemical genetic research laboratory.

However, the process of becoming stronger would definitely be very painful.

A month later, the captain selection meeting was held again.

The core members of the Science and Technology Research Institute sat in the conference room, waiting for the final decision to be announced.

The other four people were all present, except for Feng Qi.

However, the meeting continued as usual and they did not choose to wait for him to arrive.

Next, the four people on the list were tested by the black shadow one after another and their strength was evaluated.

However, just as the black shadow was about to announce the results,

the door of the conference hall was kicked open. Feng Qi, who was covered in blood, walked in with a sinister smile.

Presently, his appearance had completely changed.

His entire body was covered in festering wounds, and there was a twisted scar on his face that looked like a centipede.

He walked to the empty seat meant for the captain of the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team and sat down casually. Then, he looked at the black shadow and said,

“I’m taking this position.”

Hearing Feng Qi’s words, everyone in the conference hall fell silent.

Even the four people who had participated in the fight for the position with him were shocked by his aura.

Looking at his body that was covered in wounds, they shuddered but also understood what Feng Qi had done.

For this position, he hardened his heart and biochemically modified himself.

Even if the price to pay was his lifespan and pain he had to endure every moment in the future.

Looking at Feng Qi, their expressions became very complicated.

11

I’m taking this position!” Feng Qi said again as he looked at the black shadow.

As he spoke, the blood on his body continued to drip, dyeing the floor red.

At this moment, the entire conference hall was silent. No one spoke.

Looking at Feng Qi, the black shadow suddenly laughed and nodded.

“This seat is yours.”

“My Lord…” One of the candidates standing beside him immediately began indignantly.

However, before he could finish speaking, the black shadow interrupted him.

“If you can also endure the pain of his biochemical transformation, 1’11 give you the position.”

Hearing this, the candidate opened his mouth and chose to remain silent.

After the meeting ended, Feng Qi took over the position as captain of the Wolf-Devouring Battle Group as he had wished.

Next, the operation against Tiger Soul Research Institute could finally be launched.

However, during this period, he had no choice but to continue doing evil.

He would lead the demons to roam human society and hunt the new generation of geniuses.

What he did put him in a lot of pain, but he could not show it. When he was sad, he still had to smile.

Physical and mental torture ate at him at all times.

But he was in so much suffering that he kept silent.

Ever since he joined the Science and Technology Research Institute, he had been all kinds of sad every day. He realized that one could get used to suffering.

During this period, he used the information gathered by the Scarlet Research Institute to launch a series of operations against the Tiger Soul Research Institute in an attempt to start a war between the two domain forces.

At this moment, the Science and Technology Research Institute already knew that the Tiger Soul Research Institute was controlled by another domain faction. For this reason, a related meeting was even held.

However, the final option chosen was to infiltrate.

Just like how they had arranged for Le Ping’an to join Star City Academy.

They also arranged for several spies to enter the various cultivation institutes.

They planned to have them work hard to enter the Tiger Soul Research Institute to steal information.

At this stage, the domain forces behind the Science and Technology Research Institute believed that they should not act rashly before completely understanding the details of the domain forces behind the Tiger Soul Research Institute.

This was clearly not the outcome Feng Qi wanted.

In order to achieve his goal, he began to secretly carry out operations against Tiger Soul Research Institute. He even chose to deliberately expose himself just to start a war.

Just then, Feng Qi received the latest news.

The Science and Technology Research Institute was preparing to launch a plan against the Scarlet Research Institute.

After understanding the situation in detail, Feng Qi understood the specific reason.

It turned out that an expert protecting geniuses from the Scarlet Research Institute had been caught by the Science and Technology Research Institute.

He was very strong. Even until his death, he did not reveal any information about the Scarlet Research Institute.

However, the Science and Technology Research Institute still found some clues. They searched for this person’s identity using powerful artificial intelligence and finally locked onto the Scarlet Research Institute.

Although they couldn’t be 100% sure that the Scarlet Research Institute was secretly targeting them,

the Science and Technology Research Institute decided to continue investigating and find out the details.

Someone suggested in the meeting that it was best to destroy an important experimental base of the Scarlet Research Institute first, then obtain core information from the base to understand what the Scarlet Research Institute was doing.

Then, they could carry out the subsequent plan.

In the discussion, their target was temporarily the Scarlet base outside Twilight City.

However, this plan was only a suggestion. There was no need to carry it out for the time being.

The Science and Technology Research Institute planned to continue to conduct an in-depth investigation of the Scarlet Research Institute before deciding whether to launch the sabotage plan.

This sudden event made Feng Qi realize that history was back on track.

In the previous timeline was, the Scarlet base outside Twilight City was destroyed, and information was stolen. Then, the Science and Technology Research Institute launched crazy attacks on the Scarlet Research Institute.

As a result, the Scarlet Research Institute had no choice but to retreat and hide in a secret base and be isolated from the world.

Feng Qi wanted to stop this matter, but the team in charge of this investigation was the first domain combat team group, and it had nothing to do with the third domain combat team that he led.

All he could do was inform the Scarlet Research Institute in advance.

He asked them to delete the core information stored in the base outside Twilight City as soon as possible to prevent future confrontations.

After this matter came to an end.

Feng Qi began to continue his plan to fight against the Tiger Soul Research Institute, attempting to start a war between the two domain forces.
