Since Sun Hong disappeared that day, they have been practicing under the arrangement of the Academy of Sciences, so no one knows the current situation better than Shen Ming. After all, Shen Ming is the chief scientist of the Academy of Sciences.
After hearing my question, Shen Ming replied: "There is no progress. If they had made progress, the news would have spread throughout Yang Province. Now they are still stuck at the peak of the two-star level."
"Okay." I nodded helplessly.
Shen Ming did not hide anything about this matter. He told me that the Academy of Sciences provided many methods to help the three ancestors. Among them, the cultivation methods of Sun Hong and Zhao Congwen were full of novelty. In addition to taking those pills that calm the mind and calm the energy. In addition to medicine, various hypnotic suggestion methods are also used to help them find the true Tao in their minds.
It's a pity that the ending is not satisfactory. There are many kinds of Tao in the two people's minds. No one knows which one is the most important to them. Even testing with various high-end instruments is useless, so the progress of cultivation is actually stagnant. .
Due to his own choice, Wang Yu did not participate in this method of cultivation. Instead, he practiced as before. However, the origin of the cultivation place was extremely rich, quiet and suitable for cultivation, and there was an unlimited amount of pills. supply.
I am actually skeptical about the method Shen Ming mentioned. After all, the results have proven to be unsatisfactory, and I have always believed that practicing this kind of thing should be done at will, rather than through this formatted practice method.
"Professor Shen, do you think your cultivation method is really feasible?" I expressed my doubts.
In my opinion, Shen Ming's method is unprecedented and has not been verified by experiments at all. The advantages and disadvantages for practitioners are unknown. Using it at this period I feel that it is completely suspected of rushing the duck to the shelves.
In this regard, Shen Ming's answer was also very concise.
He said that Sun Hong and the others had been at the peak of the two-star realm for more than ten years.
More than ten or twenty years ago, they were still the heads of each family. In the end, in order to reach the three-star realm, and perhaps because they no longer wanted to get involved in family affairs, the three of them chose to retreat.
But after so many years, they still have not been able to break through to a new level.
Judging from the experience of the cultivation world, if a person stays in a state for more than ten years, he will basically be unable to break through this state in his life. Generally speaking, cultivators cannot break through after such a long period of hard training. The anger is basically gone.
"According to conventional methods, Mr. Sun and the others have almost no hope of breaking through. Otherwise, they would have broken through long ago. It is impossible for them to suddenly make progress in just a few dozen days. You see, Wang Yu didn't adopt our cultivation method. A breakthrough? We use extraordinary means in extraordinary times. What if we can achieve it?" Shen Ming replied: "Furthermore, our method is not to encourage others, but to use scientific methods to help them find the true path in their minds. , it just didn’t work out.”
"What you said makes sense." I nodded slightly.
I understand what Shen Ming means.
According to the rules-based method, it is basically impossible for Sun Hong and the others to break through. It is better to try hard according to the methods in ancient books, and maybe they can succeed.
"But Professor Shen, the concentration of Origin Qi more than ten years ago is not even a little different from what it is now. The inability of the older generation of strong men to break through may also be due to Origin Qi. Therefore, it is basically impossible to break through in a realm that has been stuck for ten years. There are still some flaws in the statement." I expressed my opinion.
"I don't think this sentence is completely correct. Source Qi is the foundation of cultivation. Without Source Qi, no one can break through. Therefore, in such a high-concentration era, those strong people in the past basically made breakthroughs with a cross. , maybe there is a chance to turn around." Shen Ming nodded.
After talking with Shen Ming, I found that this scientist is actually very courageous. There is often an element of gambling in his work. He dares to take a chance on many things as long as he has a 50% success rate.
There is a saying that there is often only a wall between a madman and a genius. I think this sentence still makes sense. A genius who is not sure about what he does is a madman.
After mentioning Sun Hong a few times, Shen Ming quickly shifted the topic to Qing Ling and Ye Xiao. I am not surprised that he knew the news. As the chief scientist of the Imperial Bureau, in terms of status alone, he is better than Chen Yi. Gao, so he has every right to know this kind of news. He probably knew it as soon as it happened.
"To be honest, the good news brought by Comrade Ye Xiao has made my burden a lot lighter." Shen Ming took a sip of boiled water and said, "I have been under a lot of pressure these days, and I am worried that I will fail in the end. , I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of failure, because if I fail, everyone will die."
"It's okay now. Even if Sun Hong and the others make no progress, we won't be in a dead end." Shen Mingdao.
Seeing a look of relaxation on Shen Ming's face, I couldn't help but sigh. It turns out that even Shen Ming can feel this kind of anxiety and sadness, but if I think about it carefully, Shen Ming is still a human being no matter how cold-tempered he is. There will be pressure when things happen.
It’s weird if there’s no pressure.
"However, the matter of Qing Ling is not a sure thing. No one knows whether the ghost babies will have an uncontrollable outbreak during this period, and maybe the ghost masters just sent will also harass them. We must not be careless. "I said solemnly.
The situation in front of us is not so optimistic now. The ghost baby is right in front of us, and the ghost master is watching eagerly. The pressure is not as great as usual, but until Qing Ling borrows the door and comes back, we must hold on no matter how difficult it is!
Because the ghost master was mentioned, our topic naturally shifted to the bad things done by the Zhou family. I have always been worried about the ten victims. I asked Shen Ming if he knew their specific situation.
Originally, I didn't have much hope. After all, there was no news from the hospital, but after Shen Ming pondered for a moment, he slowly said: "These people, their condition should make people turn into puppets."
"Human puppet?" I said in surprise: "It sounds very similar to a spirit puppet."
"It is indeed very similar, but the human puppet is man-made, and the spirit puppet is not. There are specific differences. The spirit puppet is composed of dark energy and is a derivative spirit, but the human puppet is still a human in essence, but because his soul has been Most of it was destroyed, it lost its self-awareness, and a lot of dark energy was forced into it, so it turned into an irrational monster that no one would recognize." Shen Ming replied.
"Is there such an operation?" I asked slightly stunned.
It still sounds a bit like the black brother I met in Nigeria. He actually retains a trace of reason and soul, but that is probably because the concentration of dark energy is not high enough and the strength of his soul is strong enough.
But there is still a difference.
After all, spirit puppets are not man-made, human puppets are man-made, and judging from the sound and feeling, spirit puppets don't have any feelings, but just hearing the term "human puppet" gives off a disgusting feeling.
"So, can they be saved?" I couldn't help but ask.
In this regard, Shen Ming's answer is that there is a way to save it. As long as the dark air mixed with the soul is eliminated from the body as soon as possible, otherwise, when the dark air combines with the soul and becomes a "dark soul", the person will completely change. Now that he has become a spirit, it is more appropriate to call him a spirit puppet at this time.
When I heard the word "dark soul", I couldn't help but think of the evil soul Lin Huai once said. The two should be the same concept. The reason for the difference is that the Lin community calls evil spirits evil spirits, so they call them evil spirits. The source of life of evil spirits is called evil spirit.
Each world has its own name, but in our world, because we call the energy source of resentful spirits dark energy, for the convenience of naming, we naturally call the souls of resentful spirits dark souls.
But these are all trivial matters. When I heard Shen Ming say that these people can still be saved, I was extremely happy in my heart. This is a great good thing. But just when I was happy about it, Shen Ming sprayed me with a basin of cold water. He said, "Don't be too happy. Although the hospital is doing its best to eliminate the dark energy in their bodies, it does not mean that they will return to normal after it is eliminated."
"Their souls have been damaged to the core. If they want to regain consciousness, they have to warm their souls. This may take a long time, a few months at a short time, a few years or even forever at a long time. This is not bad. , maybe someone was seriously injured and even lost three souls. It is almost impossible for such a person to recover." Shen Mingdao.
"Ah?!" Hearing this, I was greatly disappointed.
Doesn't that mean that it will be difficult for the nine people except Zhao Zhihan to regain consciousness in a short time?
"There is no way, after all, they are not Xu Jian, they have Samsung background." Shen Ming said helplessly.
"Oh." I sighed slightly.
Shen Ming said so, so this should be the case.
I feel sorry for Sun Qing and the others.
After sighing, I still said a little unwillingly: "Is there really no other way?"
"No more, human puppets are like this, basically there is no possibility of saving half of them." Shen Ming replied.
After listening to this, I realized that the deeper meaning of Shen Ming's words was that human puppets seemed to have existed for a long time, and it was not just the current few cases. Thinking of this, I quickly asked: "Human puppets have also appeared before. Puppet?"
"It has appeared." Shen Ming pushed his eyes, a complicated look appeared in his eyes, and said slowly: "I don't know if the medicine on the puppet this time was provided by him, but it does look like his handiwork. "
"Who?" I asked in confusion.
"My former colleague." Shen Ming sighed and replied.
"Wang Gaowei."
