Late at night, in the office of the vice president of Mantis Software, Luo An once again watched Li Mu crawl out of the screen like a ghost.
This time the old man came not empty-handed, but carrying a huge metal suitcase.
"Did you really bring that person here?"
Luo An was still a little surprised.
"Nonsense, who do you think I, Li Mu, am?
"What I'm talking about is faith! If a person doesn't have faith, he doesn't know what to do..."
But when he opened the box while boasting, no living person emerged from the box, but a stream of cold mist emerged.
This is because there are a lot of dry ice packs stuffed inside. It's not about antisepsis, but about inhibiting something's ability to reproduce.
The fog dissipated, and apart from the complicated circuits and dry ice used to maintain low temperature, the most important thing inside was four glass bottles arranged together.
The glass bottle is full of amber liquid. The liquid was soaked in a red substance similar to meat balls.
Not only are these substances obviously alive, they even appear to be conscious.
When Luo An got closer and took a closer look, they seemed to shrink back in fear.
"I didn't even expect you to actually find him."
It's part of their deal.
He gave Meng Fei to Li Mu, and Li Mu not only revealed to him the project bidding for the goddess's return plan, but also promised to use Meng Fei to find someone.
"A true flesh clone, and a level III grown flesh clone.
The eyes on Luo An's face kept flashing.
"You have to be careful. Once this thing spreads, most of Wutong City will suffer. It took us a week to disinfect Zhangdao."
Luo An nodded.
“I know how to handle it.
"But aren't you missing something?"
"This thing can be reproduced, so you can have as many as you want."
Li Mu reminded him.
"I know this, but its total amount of consciousness is fixed. No matter how little it reproduces, its consciousness will not increase."
"Well...the amount I can take away is already the limit. I can't give it all to you, right?"
Li Mu looked helpless.
"And this time Meng Fei arrived in Rongdu and reported another incident."
"What's up?"
He did not speak directly about Meng Fei, but whispered: "Judging from what he reported, he met that clone again in Rongdu."
"oh?"
"That one is a demon."
Luo An was obviously very interested.
"Conscious clone...
“Catch it and give it to me.
"Whatever you want in exchange, I can give it to you."
…
The Rongdu Hot Pot in Ghost Street is really popular.
It is a whole pot of red chili oil soaked with chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns and various pungent condiments.
The dipping sauce is also very exciting. Completely raw minced garlic soaked in rich sesame oil. There is no entrance yet, and it is already very offensive.
However, when the fiery red beef turns brown in the red oil and numbs all your taste buds, you will never be able to stop.
Meng Fei felt that this was his own fault. His stomach felt like it was on fire. Of course, going shopping with a woman after eating is a self-inflicted suicide.
Suzaku is wearing Xiao Han's clothes. After entering the shopping mall, she started shopping frantically, especially high-end goods.
Li Mu just applied for all the necessary documents for her, but did not include any bank cards.
Xiao Han's treat only included delicious food and did not include shopping.
So she used Meng Fei's credit card. It was maxed out in one night.
Although she said it was just a loan and she would pay it back, Meng Fei was not optimistic about getting the money back.
Xiao Han enthusiastically drove them to visit many places. Finally, he thoughtfully sent them back to the hotel and asked Meng Fei not to play too late.
After returning to the room, she threw the shopping bags that could no longer be carried on the sofa, and decisively occupied the bathroom.
Meng Fei was very sleepy. He moved the shopping bags piled on the sofa to the carpet, glanced at the empty bed with some resentment, and then lay down on the sofa.
Miss Zhu came out of the bathroom, wearing the high-end silk pajamas she just bought.
She got under the quilt, patted the empty space beside her and said:
"I don't mind if you sleep here."
"Didn't you say you're not that kind of woman?"
"Of course I'm not!"
But she smiled and said:
“But I don’t mind you yeah.
"I can pay for it."
"..."
Damn it, you asked me for money. Is this a gesture of kindness or a humiliation?
In order to avoid being shaken in his heart, Meng Fei decided not to talk to her anymore.
He wanted to simply run away, but he was afraid of encountering another nightmare attack.
Why did the authorities send such a super alluring woman who took the initiative to seduce him to protect him? The motives are highly questionable.
Isn't this a test deliberately given by the Ai family? The result of the collusion between Ai Yun's insidious guy and Li Mu? Or is Ai Ting also involved?
Even if you die, you must hold on!
He opened the goddess system and started to look at the results he asked Chen Fat to investigate.
It was an investigation he started on his own.
What Fatty Chen sent him was the list and information of all the guests staying in the hotel today, as well as all the people who had been in and out of the hotel when he was attacked in the afternoon.
When he was attacked in his dream, he guessed that the attacker should be in the same hotel.
According to his experience, consciousness attacks have a certain distance limit.
For example, Kang Qin's hypnosis must be within thirty meters and cannot penetrate walls. The distance that Xiao Han's super consciousness can control the puppet toys is also limited to a few hundred meters.
The psychic requirements that Suzaku taught him were even more stringent. Low-level psychics either have eye contact or physical contact, and advanced psychics cannot be too far away.
So he initially suggested that Li Mu immediately send people to cordon off the entire hotel. But Li Mu refused.
Li Mu said the blockade was pointless. What he encountered was not a person with superpowers, but a so-called "demon spirit".
Demonic spirit is the internationally accepted abbreviation, which comes from the name of "demonic spirit" of Taotie believers, while the folk tradition of Qingmang people calls it "nightmare".
It is a kind of immortal consciousness that will invade human consciousness silently and like to cause trouble in dreams.
Most of the time it is possessed by a human being. The person himself cannot detect it.
But if you really mobilize the military and police to blockade the hotel with great fanfare, or even capture its host, it will easily change its host, making it even harder to capture in the future.
Moreover, any physical attack is ineffective against a demonic spirit. Ordinary bullets and ionization guns can only damage his host, but do no harm to the demon itself.
So how can we get it done? Li Mu should know, but if he doesn't tell, Meng Fei can't do anything.
Ask Suzaku tomorrow and she might know.
Meng Fei's eyes scanned the information sent by Chen Han line by line, and he soon discovered something strange.
"Liu Gang? He actually stayed in the same hotel as me?"
