Chapter 46: The Temptation of Power

Claustrophobic laboratory

Claire was staring at the black hedron emitting a strange purple light on the rectangular platform, and swallowed the saliva in her mouth unconsciously.

This black spar, which was not so dazzling yesterday, seemed to be like a black hole at this time, attracting Claire's attention. However, it is estimated that due to the fact that the energy has just erupted and the energy has dissipated somewhat, this black spar makes Claire feel that it is not as mysterious as yesterday.

Perhaps it wasn't just the little bit of energy that had just released the purple fire, Claire raised her head and looked around at the corpses scattered all around, and then held her chin with her hand and fell into deep thought.

Before Claire could think about it, the black hedron began to flicker, as if to attract Claire's attention, and the frequency of its flickering gradually increased from the beginning of the length.

Claire looked at the black hedron again. At this time, the black hedron seemed to feel Claire's gaze, and it no longer flickered, but resumed its initial continuous glow.

It can be seen that this strange black hedron is trying to get Claire's attention to it.

However, just as Claire had just set her eyes back on the black spar, a voice rang out:

"Human, do you want power?"

The voice sounded hoarse and evil, and it felt like it wasn't a human voice at all.

Raising her head, Claire shook her head, he suspected that he was hallucinating at this time, after all, the whole audience was dead except himself, how could anyone speak.

However, as if to deny his idea, the cramped and strange voice sounded again, and the volume was raised:

"Human, do you want power?"

Claire had already made sure that he was not an auditory hallucination, and he looked at the black spar in front of him again, if there was anything strange in this confined space, what else could there be besides this black spar?

Claire stared at the black hedron on the rectangular platform, but didn't say a word.

However, the strange voice just now did not sound again, and the atmosphere in the laboratory fell into a silent weirdness.

Finally, Claire, who was no longer planning to spend any more, suddenly spoke:

"Where are you?"

A second or two after Claire's question was asked, the strange voice sounded again, but its answer was somewhat incorrect:

"I am from nature, I am natural, I am everywhere, I am omnipotent."

In the end, the voice changed from the previous weirdness to a calm and cold voice, like a cold machine.

Claire frowned slightly in dissatisfaction after hearing this answer, and just as he was about to ask the next question, the voice sounded again, and once again with a sense of evil.

"Human, you haven't answered my question yet, tell me, do you want power?"

As he spoke, the strange voice already had a hint of seduction.

Claire, however, did not answer its question immediately, and he looked down and pondered for a moment before replying unhurriedly:

"The power I want, you probably don't have."

Suddenly, as if poked at the point of laughter, the laughter of that strange voice echoed throughout the laboratory:

"Hahahahaha Hahahahaha! ”

In the midst of this laughter, the black spar, which had been motionless, trembled, and then floated slowly.

Then, Claire felt that something strange had happened, and the suspended stone began to shake violently in the air, as if something was about to come out of it.

After a while, however, the stone stopped shaking, and the laughter ceased, and he said to Claire again in a meaningful tone:

"Human, I think you should think about it carefully, after all, some opportunities are only once, I will give you time, I believe, you will need strength."

With that, the sound stopped abruptly, and the black hedron fell from mid-air as the sound stopped, landing on Claire's hand.

Claire looked solemnly at the black hedron in her hand that was fading away. The strange thing is that after all the purple light on the black spar disappeared, the lights in the laboratory turned on in the blink of an eye, as if the lights in the laboratory had been sucked away by the black spar before.

Suddenly, the sound of "stampede" gradually came from outside the laboratory door, and then Claire faintly heard the sound of a gun bolting.

"Boom!" With this roar, the door of the laboratory creaked and fell. Then, Claire saw a heavily armed special forces squad in the dust, and behind them stood the three members of the angry squad who had disappeared before.

Raising her hands, Claire calmly asked the team of special forces to search herself. Soon, after making sure that Claire was not armed, the special forces let him go and went to check on the laboratory.

Seeing Colonel Seaton and them again, Claire only felt inexplicably relieved in her heart, thanking God, he didn't want to be transferred to other units just after he came, but fortunately, this bad situation has not happened at present.

Looking at the puzzled eyes of the three members of the angry team, Claire, who reacted, knew that at this time, she needed to show her own incorruptible tongue to explain the previous situation.

After detailing what had happened before (of course, Claire didn't tell the mysterious voice, after all, it was a bit terrifying. Claire regained her silence and looked at her boss instead.

Colonel Seaton stroked his non-existent beard, struggling to digest Claire's explanation. It seems that he still doesn't quite believe what Claire said.

However, soon, in the face of the evidence found by the special forces, Colonel Seaton finally dispelled his suspicions about Claire.

Claire himself really wanted to know what had happened, but when he saw Colonel Seaton frowning, he turned his head and whispered about Ralph.

Ralph made a look of disdain, and then said to Claire:

"Hey, it's not that the researchers died on their own, there was nothing going on at the time, but a stunned young man said that he wanted to strengthen the means to probe the broken stone, and then they heated the stone with a flame, and also used high volt electricity, and the broken stone emitted a purple light, and then we escaped, and then, the scene is like you see."

As he spoke, Ralph craned his chin and pointed to the researchers' corpses.

Claire thought carefully about this series of accidents after listening to what Ralph said.

It was fine, but it suddenly erupted after high voltage electricity and flames, what the hell?
