Chapter 5 The Demon Who Sleeps in the Crystal
"You are?" Ian asked.
"The guinea pig doesn't have to know that much." The man walked down the stairs and walked slowly towards Ian.
"Mice? Are you the ghost of my crystals? Ian asked excitedly.
"What do you mean by a ghost? We are clearly doing important work on the fate of mankind. The man said as he gently stroked his Infinity Crystal.
"Is the Intruder your masterpiece too?" Ian struggled with his body, but the restraints on his body rattled under the intense exercise, and he was instantly stimulated by the jumble of wires.
"You don't have to worry about that, you just have to play your part. You don't know, your Infinity Crystals thing, this thing is really what we did. In the third year, the year the intruder was discovered, our group also discovered something. With that, an experimenter slowly approached with a small cart.
"This is the key to changing the fate of mankind." He pointed to the car.
Ian looked over and saw a jar of green liquid on it, with something like an eye in the middle.
"Is this ......," Ian asked.
"This is the egg of the Intruder found in Temertari after that incident." The man said.
"And the researcher who was here was with me, and he had been experimenting for the past three years, and finally we made our own Infinity Crystal, which is the power extracted from this egg. He gave himself the crystal, but his body couldn't carry the huge and dangerous energy, so we asked him to find a new experimenter, and yes, you were our choice. As he spoke, he opened his arms and looked at the sky with his eyes.
"As long as you fully grasp this power, you can accomplish our goal."
"What do you mean by talking about the fate of mankind?" As soon as Ian heard him say this, he immediately asked anxiously.
"Only this force can completely defeat the intruders, if this crystal can't be put into use, how many days can we hold out on to the government?" The man said.
"Okay, I'm willing to cooperate with you." Ian didn't agree with the government's approach, but when he heard it, he directly agreed.
"But you're not the only one, I've got a lot of guinea pigs. They were all blamed by us for the death penalty of the Seth government, some people who could adapt to the crystal were brought here by us under our observation, and some weak people were either unable to bear the load and were drained by the crystal, or they were arrested and executed by the government. He said.
"But the one I want to see the most in this group is you, who have not only turned back into a human after being infected by the intruder, but also have the same ability to recover as quickly as the intruder. That's amazing! But......" The man hesitated and looked at Ian.
"What?" Ian asked.
"That's not enough, you can't use all your power yet, and I can't easily let you accomplish my goal. So, let me see what you're really capable of. With that, he waved his hand and walked out without looking back.
"Hey! What do you mean! Ian struggled and shouted.
"Be quiet and I'll tell you right away." Jiawen said with a smile.
Before Ian could reply, a group of people untied the wires on his body and put him in a pair of cold handcuffs.
"My name is Jiawen, and I'm the person in charge here." Garwen said, putting his arms around his neck.
"What are we going to do?" Seeing this situation, Ian asked uneasily.
"Of course it's a hellish trial, hahaha......" Garwen punched Ian in the stomach and knocked Ian to the ground.
"You ......" Ian poured up with a mouthful of old blood, unable to speak.
"It's not enough, isn't that okay? In that case, you'll definitely be eliminated in this trial. Garwen smiled and trampled on Ian on the ground. Ian seemed to fight back, but his hands were tightly restrained by the handcuffs, and there was no way to parry, so he could only wail silently.
The tattoo fought for five minutes, and Ian couldn't even see the human form. The plasma on the ground flowed like no money.
"Take it off." After stepping on the last foot, he walked away.
The men dragged Ian by the hair like they were mopping the floor and walked away, regardless of whether Ian was a human or an animal.
Blood, left a corridor.
"Get in!" The men threw the unconscious Ian into a filthy, rancid prison.
"Boss, there's another lump of rotten meat, what to do with it." A lewd-looking little old man walked up and said to a young man sitting in the middle of the prison.
"Aren't you dead yet?" The man known as the Boss asked.
"And tone, boss." The little old man said respectfully.
"Wake him up, this won't die should be a bit of a skill." The man commanded.
"Yes, boss, I happened to have a pee, hehe." The little old man took off his pants with a wicked smile on his face, and it was a strafing.
Ian slowly opened his eyes under this humiliation, only to see the situation in front of him, annoyed, I don't know that there was a force pouring out of it to support himself and threw a punch, right at the little old man's "tool of crime." ”
In an instant, he was punched into the wall by this punch, and his lower body was smashed into the wall even deeper, and disgusting liquid or solid hit the wall all over the wall, and his body couldn't be picked out.
"Okay, it seems that I have some ability, my name is Demar, if you kill my dog, then you will be my new dog in the future, now kneel down and recognize me as a big brother, and let you live a little decent." With that, he put on a posture ready to fight.
Ian felt that the injuries on his body were slowly recovering, just as the big man said, so he looked at the big man with thick eyebrows and big eyes in front of him, and threw a heavy punch.
Strike first!
Ian found that this speed was very fast, and he saw that he was also carrying a green infinity crystal in his hand.
"Intruder Crystal!" Ian exclaimed.
"Hmmm! I'm going to live to the end and be the last intruder crystal enlightener! De Mar instantly got up and threw punches in quick succession.
Ian drew his sword and flickered at it, but Demar's attack was faster, and the green light enveloped him slammed into Ian's weakened body like a meteor moving at high speed. Ian didn't resist so passively, and he was ready to see the opportunity to fight back.
He felt the power in his infinite crystal slowly pouring out, and he immediately manipulated his body to fly behind Demar, a sword ready to stab him in the back, but he punched Ian at a faster speed!
Ian was directly knocked out with a sword, he quickly got up to organize a counterattack, he groped to pick up the sword, but felt a force pressing his hand, he raised his head suddenly, his face was kicked hard, he felt that his nose was bleeding, and his mouth was full of blood.
"Speed, it's too fast...... Ian wiped the blood from his nose.
"I thought it was so powerful, it turned out to be just a cheap life to resist the fight." DeMar laughed maniacally and walked back to his bench.
"So, aren't you also a lamb to the slaughter in this hell?" Ian said as he looked at the self-respecting man in front of him.
"No, no, no, wait until the Eye of Life chooses me to become the strongest enlightener in this world! And I'm the only one who has it, and as you can see, I'm the strongest person to have this crystal!! DeMar looked at Ian arrogantly.
"The Eye of Life?" Ian heard a new term and hurriedly asked.
"The cell they showed you when you came, that's the Eye of Life." DeMar said, "Only those who have reached the limits of human function can fuse with that cell and have an existence beyond the intruder." ”
"Limit?" Ian said.
"Well, I've already defeated countless people, except for these few who know the times, the rest of them have disappeared from this world, and if you count you, it seems that there are exactly 100 of them." DeMar motioned for the younger brothers next to him to set Ian up, and walked towards Ian with his own fists.
"Be a stepping stone on my way to success." Demar pulled out a sword identical to Ian from the Infinity Crystal and stabbed Ian only in the heart......
At this point, the group of people observing in the monitoring room could not sit still.
Jiawen shouted: "This kid is going to rebel!" With that, he hurriedly picked up the knife and rushed out......
When Gawen arrived, there was only a bloodied corpse on the ground.
Garveen shouted angrily, "Do you know what you did? It's over, it's all over! ”
But Demar said nonchalantly: "Isn't it just a dead test subject, you still have to come and see it in person, usually you don't even accept a corpse when I kill these things." ”
"Didn't I tell you before! You can only fight to death, but you must not kill you! Garve stared at DeMar with a fierce glint on his face.
"I've been killed, so if I become an enlightener, I won't be able to come." DeMar said with a smile.
But to his disappointment, Jiawen did not agree, but drew a knife and rushed directly at him, shouting: "Then pay for his life!" ”
DeMar knew that he was no match for Gabriel, and a green light passed and ran unusually!
Jiawen angrily took out the walkie-talkie and scolded: "Hey, help me solve him, pay for that kid's life!" ”
"Hmm." It came from the other end.
DeMar thought that by killing Ian, he would be able to become a Enlightener, but he didn't expect to be killed, and now he only thinks about how to escape from this hellish place.
Garven and a large number of enlightened people and heavily armed guards searched for the traces of Demar, while the president sent someone to bring Ian's body back to his lab.
Demar made a quick assault like a slash, and saw a shining light in his eyes, he saw that he was about to succeed, but he saw a figure appear in the light, he touched the infinite crystal vigilantly, but found that his crystal had long since been unresponsive, and when he was anxious, he was already in a different place.
The Striped Bandman had just arrived, and when he saw that De Mar was dead, he angrily walked up and kicked his head out like a football, but he still couldn't vent his hatred.
"Okay, the matter is settled, I'll go first, don't bother me if you kid is fine. By the way, you go to Phoenix, I'll tell him how to solve Ian's business. The man who had killed Demar waved his hand and disappeared into the light.
Garwen hurriedly rushed back to the laboratory and saw the Phoenix that the man had mentioned earlier, that is, the president of the Apos Group.
"Did the dead boy tell you what we should do now?" Garwen asked, pointing to Ian's corpse on the ground.
"I can only force that thing to fuse with him, and there is no other way now." With a wave of his hand, Phoenix motioned for the surrounding personnel to begin the experiment.
"Is that okay? People are dead! Jiawen asked uneasily.
"If the Eye of Life doesn't bring that powerful vitality, we don't have to continue our plans. Let's go! Phoenix took Gawned's hand and walked slowly.
"Well, let's try it then."
A group of people threw Ian into a huge container, and the liquid in the container was instantly stained crimson by Ian's dark red and even slightly purple blood.
One person pulled out the cell, known as the "Eye of Life", and threw it down the edge of the container.
"Ready to inject fusion gas." Phoenix commanded from the command room.
"Roger!"
A puff of green smoke slowly poured into the liquid from the top, and the liquid gurgled with it. After a few minutes of bubbling like this, the cell changed, and from it came long, slender, green tubes with sparse fluffs, scurrying aimlessly through the water until Ian was found.
It enveloped Ian in an instant at breakneck speed as if it had gone crazy, layer by layer like a dense cocoon.
"Well, it worked. It's all about waiting for this day, plus! Our dreams can be realized! Phoenix happily patted Garved on the shoulder.
"The vitality of this thing is really tenacious, and it is not in vain that we waste so much time to break through his limits, maybe only such a body can withstand the power of this thing." Gawen smiled.
"This also puzzles, the Infinity Crystal of the Intruder can be used by anyone with the Infinite Crystal physique, but this key cell can only fuse with him, this ......" Phoenix's happy smile was followed by a burst of contemplation.
"President, it's starting to molt!" There was a burst of excited shouts on the other side of the camera.
Phoenix hurried to the screen, saw which tubes had almost drained Ian's blood, and then injected it with the green liquid it had brought, circulating all of Ian's blood back. The wound on Ian's heart was also slowly filled by the cells, and the surrounding tubes slowly shrank and seeped into Ian's heart, and gradually, Ian's body appeared intact in front of everyone.
"The gas did work, it was an air sample of Z3 that was infected and mutated around it, and it was also an important tool to make the invader's cells full of activity." Phoenix said to himself.
Garwen couldn't wait to go down, motioning for the people to fish him out.
Garwen looked at Ian on the ground, gently touched his chest, and found that his heart began to react weakly, so he shouted for someone to come and check Ian.
Ian felt an awe-inspiring and somewhat familiar female voice in his head, and she said the same thing as that time:
"Now is the time to awaken, you are me, I am you."
The words echoed in Ian's mind like a bell, and he asked, "Who are you?" Am I dead? ”
"Follow your heart." After that, the voice stopped abruptly.
Ian suddenly felt a cramping pain in his head, and he opened his eyes violently, and saw the tattoo in front of him and the "little white man" who was examining his body.
He pushed the bystanders away, glaring at Garve.
"Welcome to you again, congratulations, you have completed the test, now you are welcome to integrate into our Apos family, and work together for our ideals!" Garveen held out his hand to Ian.
"Are you kidding me? Almost killed me and now I want to join, don't even think about it. Ian said firmly.
"It's all about pushing you to the limit, so that you can merge with the Eye of Life and become the strongest Enlightener. If you know our purpose, won't there be no sense of crisis? Jiawen saw that the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing, and silently scolded Phoenix's brain-dead plan in his heart, pretending to explain happily.
"Life, it's not something you play with casually, I have experienced the death of my friends, the death of the spirit, the death of the body, life, not a stepping stone for you to accomplish your purpose!" As soon as Ian heard Gawen's explanation, he was even more angry, and drew his sword from the infinite crystal and began to attack.
"Then hit me to relieve my anger, but only if you beat me." Although Garwen listens to Phoenix talk about the power of the Eye of Life every day, he is still ready to go up and fight Ian to the death.
The texture is holding a knife and dancing wildly, and the blade of the chopping blade is so fast that it can even cut the ripples of the air. But after Ian fused with the Eye of Life, he was not at the same level as before, he rushed to Gawen's side like a fast-moving small comet, and the green qi wave around him directly knocked Gawen's wielded sword to the ground, and punched him closely, and the sound of his glasses shattering echoed back and forth in the silent and empty environment.
Jiawen pushed his eyes, smiled and said, "I've grown a lot, it's not the waste wood that I killed in seconds before, but I'm going to do my best." ”
Ian didn't pay any attention to it, and continued to impact quickly, but the speed of the texture was also very fast, perfectly avoiding Ian's collision. Seeing this, Ian gathered all his strength and jumped into the air, raising his leg was a flying kick, and a brilliant green light surrounded him.
But this time, Jiawen did not dodge, but took out a short knife of tens of centimeters from his waist, and easily blocked Ian's full blow.
"What?" Ian shouted in surprise.
"Although you have fused the Eye of Life, your fusion degree is only 1%." Jiawen took advantage of the gap and quickly pulled out the knife inserted in the ground.
"What do you mean?" Ian stepped aside and looked at Garveen with alarm.
"It's not interesting, it's just that you're still quite weak now." Holding a knife in each hand, he began to counterattack in a clear manner, using a sword as fast as a wind to attack, and using a defense that was as immobile as a mountain.
Ian was still suppressing the garment at first, but slowly his physical strength began to run out, and some chaotic sounds began to appear in his head. He began to lose his strength, and was slowly dragged down by the grain, and fell to the ground weakly.
Phoenix, who was watching the battle, walked up, patted Gawen on the shoulder and said, "That's good, as the fusion between Ian and the Eye of Life increases, and when it reaches 100%, it will be when the demon in the Infinity Crystal awakens!" ”
