The small metal door was finally opened, and Tang Tianyi led Luo Chao inside.

It was a small room of just over ten square meters, and its interior style was equally filled with a sense of technology.

But unlike the large laboratory outside, filled with various machinery and computers, this small room had only one table placed in the center.

On the table was a transparent cylindrical container, approximately forty centimeters high, with metallic bases on both ends.

Inside this transparent cylindrical container was a wisp of black smoke that seemed to have a life of its own, constantly swirling up and down in the space within the container.

Then, the wisp of black smoke noticed the arrival of Tang Tianyi and Luo Chao. It bowed slightly, as if trying to break through the cylindrical transparent container and attack Luo Chao and Tang Tianyi!

Luo Chao's observational skills and crisis-sensing ability were extraordinary. When he saw the black smoke's intent to attack, he instantly took a step forward, picked up Tang Tianyi in his arms, and swiftly dodged to the side!

At the same time, the black smoke inside the transparent container rushed towards the container's walls like a black lightning bolt, attempting to smash it.

But an amazing scene appeared. Just as the black smoke was about to hit the container walls, two finger-thick blue electric arcs suddenly erupted from the metallic bases at both ends of the container!

These two electric arcs struck the black smoke as if thunder had descended from the heavens!

The wisp of black smoke was hit by the electric arcs and immediately dissipated into a cloud of black gas, losing its momentum and floating dispersedly inside the transparent container.

But not long after, the black gas began to slowly condense again. It seemed that in just a few minutes, it would re-form into that malevolent wisp of black smoke.

"Put me down."

Amid Luo Chao's surprise, Tang Tianyi's cold voice suddenly broke the silence in the room, reaching Luo Chao's ears.

Luo Chao looked down at Tang Tianyi's icy eyes, gave an awkward smile, and set Tang Tianyi, whom he had been holding in his arms, down.

After being set down, Tang Tianyi turned her head to glance at the cylindrical transparent container and murmured to herself, "This guy is acting up again."

"This guy?" Luo Chao also looked at the black gas in the transparent container, puzzled, and asked, "Miss Tang, are you referring to the black smoke in this container?"

"Black smoke?!" Tang Tianyi's eyes lit up when Luo Chao said that. She raised her head, stared at Luo Chao with urgency, and asked, "Can you see what's inside this container?!"

"Of course, I can see it." Luo Chao shrugged, "Isn't it just now a wisp of black smoke that was dispersed by the electric arcs into a cloud of black gas in the container!"

Stopping mid-sentence, Luo Chao suddenly paused.

He opened his mouth wide in surprise, looking incredulously at the black gas in the container, then at Tang Tianyi's shocked face, and asked, as if suddenly understanding, "Miss Tang, could it be that you can't see it?!"

Tang Tianyi nodded, then held her forehead with her hand and began pacing back and forth in the room.

She muttered to herself, "Strange, why can he clearly see what I can't, what is this thing made of, could it not be a creature of our dimension? Or is his brain structure somewhat special? Or is it that..."

Seeing Tang Tianyi in this contemplative state, Luo Chao found it increasingly unbelievable.

Recollecting the way he encountered a ghost revealing its true form in the hospital, Luo Chao was almost certain that the thing inside this transparent container was also a spectral entity.

But, Tang Tianyi said she couldn't see spectral entities whereas he could. Could it be... he also possesses the Yin Yang Eye like Yu Xiaoling?

Regardless of whether he had the Yin Yang Eye or not, the most important thing now was to save Yu Xiaoling's life, and the time left for Luo Chao was running out.

At this thought, Luo Chao hurriedly reminded Tang Tianyi, "Miss Tang."

Luo Chao shouted once but saw that she did not respond and was still talking to herself. Knowing that time waits for no one, he hurriedly yelled even louder, "Miss Tang!!!"

"Hmm, what's the matter?" Lost in thought, Tang Tianyi was suddenly jolted back to the present by Luo Chao's call and didn't immediately react to why Luo Chao was calling her.

Although somewhat helpless, Luo Chao still urged and reminded, "Miss Tang, you're still asking me what's the matter, saving lives is urgent, don't you remember the purpose of my visit today?"

"Right, saving a life, no, a new species, I must acquire more of this Energy Body for further research." Tang Tianyi spoke some words to herself, which Luo Chao couldn't understand.

"Miss Tang, what method do you have to eliminate that evil ghost in the hospital? Time waits for no one." Luo Chao urged again.

This time, Tang Tianyi finally stopped her self-talk and led Luo Chao to the front of that cylindrical transparent container.

Tang Tianyi pointed at the container and asked Luo Chao, "Luo Chao, do you know what this container holds?"

Luo Chao looked at the black gas that was constantly reforming into smoke and tentatively answered, "A ghost?"

"You only got it half right." Tang Tianyi nodded, "What's inside is actually... a Pen Immortal."

Pen Immortal!!!

What the hell, is that not a bit too exaggerated?

Originally, to accept that there are ghosts in this world was already making Luo Chao doubt his worldview.

But now, even the Pen Immortal has appeared, and Luo Chao truly felt it hard to accept!

Luo Chao was full of surprise and couldn't even speak for a moment.

Seeing Luo Chao's reaction, it seemed Tang Tianyi had anticipated it.

She said leisurely, "For a long time, scientists like me never believed in ghosts. All sightings of ghosts were nothing more than fabricated lies or hallucinations created by the brain and mind. Until half a year ago, there was a case of a mysterious Pen Immortal murder in Huahai City."

"To my knowledge, it happened at Huahai City's Second High School, in Class 5 of Grade 3. Six students sneaked into the school's abandoned classroom to play the Pen Immortal game at midnight. The next day, all six were brutally killed. The classroom was on the seventh floor, and the door was locked tightly from the inside. The police had to break it down to enter."

"This ruled out the possibility of a human homicide, yet the scene was extremely gruesome. The bodies of the six students were severed into several pieces. Forensic examinations showed that the cuts were not made by any tool, but were hand-torn!"
