There is a certain area of the building city that ordinary residents have no right to enter.
There is a closed hall here, covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters. It is brightly lit at this moment, and figures are walking or communicating.
In the central area, there is a high platform with a cage.
In a cage covered with runes, a dragon-like monster was imprisoned, drooling and dying.
Looking at the broken scales and scars, you can tell that it has suffered a lot of damage before, but if you look closely, the injuries are clearly caused by the monster itself.
Scratching oneself crazily with sharp claws is an obvious act of self-mutilation.
Footsteps came and a familiar voice sounded.
"Is it still hurting itself?"
Another voice replied: "As long as you have the ability to move, you will carry out self-inflicted attacks. If the two consciousnesses didn't compete with each other, you would have scratched yourself into pieces."
Tang Zhen nodded, looked at Venerable Mo Tong who was locked in the cage, and couldn't help but shake his head gently.
The elite monks who came from the upper world have become like this. They are simply worse off than dead.
But having said that, thanks to Venerable Mo Tong's clever manipulation, the cornerstone platform discovered anomalies and then discovered the existence of the parasitic beast.
Tang Zhen, who knew the secret, could not remain indifferent, so he took advantage of this incident to start planning.
If you go to the true spirit world in the future, you will inevitably encounter many dangers and bring great trouble to Loucheng.
In order to prevent Lou Cheng from receiving more attention, Tang Zhen must make a big news, enough to attract everyone's attention.
When everyone's attention is attracted by this incident, the building city will naturally disappear from the public view.
Being famous is indeed a good thing, and ordinary people can only dream of it. However, in the cruel world of spiritual practice, it has become the source of trouble.
The higher your reputation, the more people will stare at you, wanting to knock you down and then pounce on you to drink your blood and eat your flesh.
The person talking to Tang Zhen was none other than True Lord Aries, who has now advanced to become a venerable one.
He is sensitive and eager to learn by nature, and is more interested in knowledge research than cultivation. The real purpose of advanced breakthroughs is to study and study for a longer life.
After successfully advancing successfully, I began to focus on my interests again, and practice became a secondary matter.
Such an indifferent mentality is enough to crush most practitioners.
Tang Zhen knew about this, so he established the Academy of Sciences within Loucheng and appointed Venerable Aries as the dean of science.
You can't always rely on the cornerstone platform for everything. Loucheng must also find ways to grow on its own, so that it can calmly deal with various changes.
Children who do not grow up can never be successful.
The establishment of the Academy of Sciences is only the first step in growth.
The Academy of Sciences can recruit residents and apply for research projects from Loucheng, and will also receive special funding support.
The first task of the Academy of Sciences is to study parasitic beasts and figure out ways to control and solve them.
This is a super hard question, and it’s not easy to get the answer.
Fortunately, the Cornerstone Platform helps and provides some solutions, but it is just a framework.
Whether it will work or not, and how to operate it during the period, all need to be improved by Loucheng residents themselves.
Being able to point the way is actually half the battle.
When Lord Aries and his subordinates saw the series of plans, they were all stunned and couldn't help praising them.
They even asked Tang Zhen to let them visit me, hoping to get advice from him.
Such a request is not excessive, but it is simply impossible to realize it.
After rejecting True Lord Aries' request, Tang Zhen sent Venerable Mo Tong over to see if he could gain some useful information from this mutant.
Unexpectedly, Venerable Mo Tong, who was released from confinement, suddenly began to go crazy and self-harm.
If he hadn't controlled it in time, he might have scratched himself to death on the spot.
After observation and analysis, it was confirmed that there was a problem with Venerable Motong during the fusion process, resulting in two souls controlling his body.
One should be Mo Tong himself, and the other soul consciousness must be the parasitic beast in the body.
When Venerable Mo Tong discovered the truth, he always wanted to kill the parasite, or wanted to die together, which led to the crazy self-mutilation behavior.
Once the cause and effect are analyzed, things will become much easier to handle.
Tang Zhen came here this time to negotiate with Venerable Mo Tong and ask this guy to quickly hand over the Water Spirit Pearl.
Until now, the Water Spirit Pearl is still missing, and it is most likely that it was hidden by Venerable Mo Tong.
One person hides something and thousands of people search for it. Without clues and information, it is really difficult to find an item.
Tang Zhen flicked it casually, and a pill fell on the monster, dissolving in an instant.
After three breaths, a plant seedling appeared, with a well-developed root system growing rapidly at the cracked wound.
Perhaps due to the irritating pain caused by the growth process, the monster lying in the cage began to twist and twitch continuously.
At this time, you can see how awkward the monster's body is. It is obvious that two consciousnesses are fighting, resulting in weird and exaggerated movements.
Obviously, the competition between the two sides is evenly matched, and neither one can do anything to the other at the moment.
Tang Zhen intervened and changed the dispute.
In a short period of time, the seedlings grew rapidly and sprouted five black, slender leaves.
After the leaves appeared, another strange scene occurred, and traces of black mist continued to gather.
These mists have no roots and origins. They can be said to appear out of thin air, but are eventually absorbed by the slender leaves.
After absorbing the mist, it is sent directly to the root system and penetrates into the monster's body.
The shattered wounds on the monster's body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and something like black fluff grew.
The body that was shaking violently gradually became quiet, and then the monster opened its three eyes.
His violent and crazy eyes stared at Tang Zhen, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.
But in the next moment, his eyes changed, and there was panic in one of his eyes.
In the other two eyes, there was a light of confusion and shame, and they were still switching alternately.
These changes in his eyes showed that Venerable Mo Tong's mental state was extremely bad.
After more than ten seconds, the monster slowly spoke.
"Lord of the City, what do you want to do?"
The body controller at this moment should be Venerable Mo Tong. He can recognize Tang Zhen and communicate rationally.
If it were a monster, it would be impossible to do this.
"I use secret methods to help you maintain your soul and gain control of this body, but it is only temporary.
There are still many things to do in order to return to normal, and the first thing to do is to expel the monster consciousness from the body."
As soon as Tang Zhen finished speaking, one of the monster's eyes changed, revealing a violent and ferocious aura.
"Ant, this is my body, it's that idiot who should get out.
And you, an ant, who dares to treat the gods like this will definitely be severely punished!"
The voice that suddenly came was crazy and violent. It was obviously not Venerable Mo Tong, but the parasitic beast hiding in his body.
Tang Zhen couldn't help but sneered when he heard this.
Venerable Mo Tong did not expect that there would be a monster parasitic in his body, and it would awaken due to his self-righteous actions.
He was now helpless and could only choose to commit suicide, but he was unable to achieve his wish because of the monster's obstruction.
Venerable Mo Tong deserved his crime and deserved to be tortured.
But this parasitic monster who didn't know whether to live or die actually dared to provoke Tang Zhen, simply because he didn't want to live long.
Tang Zhen didn't know very well how the gods would retaliate, and he didn't care at all.
One thing is very clear, this monster who dares to yell at him will soon realize what it means to live worse than death.
"Very good. I hope you can continue to be tough after a while."
As soon as Tang Zhen finished speaking, he lightly snapped his fingers, and the clear voice echoed in the empty hall.
Venerable Aries and other Loucheng monks stood aside and watched intently, curious as to how Tang Zhen should operate.
As soon as the thought came up, a shrill wail resounded through the hall, and the monster in the cage turned and twisted again.
