"Cough, cough, we'll talk about the Force Tester later. Let's look at other things first."

Professor Guo awkwardly pulled Wu Liang over to another machine.

Rather than calling this thing a machine, it's more like a giant-screen 3D projector, with several virtual figures constantly moving inside.

Looking at this machine, the pride on Professor Guo's face was undeniable. He picked up the helmet in front of the machine and said, "Put this on and imagine a specific object in your mind. The machine can project it virtually based on the strength of your Spiritual Power."

"The closer it is to reality, the stronger your Spiritual Power."

After saying this, he pointed to a delicate rose flower dancing in the air and said, "This is the manifestation created by the Awakened woman next to you."

Fu Juan nodded and smiled slightly in response.

As for Professor Guo entirely forgetting her name, there was no need to investigate such details too deeply, given his status.

"It's a pity she can only make three layers of petals grow, so her Spiritual Power is only slightly above average." His tone was full of regret.

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang understood.

The more detailed the appearance of the imagined virtual object, and the more realistically it can act in reality, the stronger the Spiritual Power.

"I created this thing! It's the only one in the country, right here at the headquarters! How about it? Pretty good, right?" Professor Guo was as proud as a child who scored full marks on a final exam.

Under his eager gaze, Wu Liang put on the helmet, curious.

The moment it was secured, he felt his brain seemingly connect with the machine in front of him. He could even feel that his thoughts were being gradually accessed.

This sensation was quite peculiar, like suddenly having a limb that wasn't originally his—controllable yet quite unfamiliar.

"Hmmm, what should I project... Alright! How about this!"

Seeing a glint in Wu Liang's eye, Professor Guo leaned over with great curiosity to see what Wu Liang was about to manifest.

One thing he hadn't mentioned, something even the whole headquarters of Awakened didn't know—

The first thing an Awakened imagines with this machine can reflect their personality and danger level.

Take Fu Juan, for example. She imagined a rose—beautiful beyond measure but also dangerous with sharp thorns, just like her.

Generally, what Symbionts project tends to be a little deranged. Like Chengyang City's Zodiac Dragon, he had once projected a dragon-shaped monster covered with bizarre eyes, looking similar to the mythical Yinglong from a distance, yet hideously nauseating.

This proved Zodiac Dragon's dangerous nature; essentially, he was a battle-loving monster.

Come on! Let's see what a special Symbiont with multiple Fierce Ghost abilities will bring forth!

Buzz—

On the projector, a rectangular block resembling a brick slowly appeared, ragged as if it was a relic from the last century.

Professor Guo's expression froze instantly.

"Huh? This shouldn't be! This is... a book? Why?" He was at a loss.

He's seen people project weapons, animals, plants, and even beauties.

But what can a book represent?

Is this Shadow eager to learn?

What a joke! A Symbiont's basic cognition should be at least partially influenced by Fierce Ghost, right? Could it be that the Fierce Ghost that merged with Shadow is some kind of Ghost Scholar?

Meanwhile, Wu Liang, his eyes closed, felt his Spiritual Power being guided as he grinned.

He felt no obstruction throughout the process of projecting this fake "Ghost Compendium," as if it was as easy as lifting a finger.

"Uh, could you try turning the pages imagining the content inside?" Professor Guo said uncertainly.

The number of pages one could turn should represent the strength of the Shadow's Spiritual Power, though he was still quite curious why it had projected a book.

Swoosh—

As he finished speaking, under Wu Liang's guide, the projected fake "Ghost Compendium" started to flip crazily at a speed like a fan spinning.

This wasn't just a few pages, it was like a real book being flipped at will in Wu Liang's hand, without any difficulty!

Soon, it reached the last page.

Professor Guo was so stunned his mouth hung open, perhaps he'd just encountered the Symbiont with the strongest Spiritual Power he'd ever seen!

Wait, hold on... there's a flaw!

"Cough, cough, Shadow, you see, while you can flip the pages at will, it's a blank Celestial Book. It proves that although your Spiritual Power is incredibly strong, you can't control it with precision!"

"Power without skill!"

"So the training plan I will formulate for you later will help you master your Spiritual Power more meticulously, make your ability more effective, and truly make the skills given by ghosts yours!"

Professor Guo became more and more excited as he spoke; he was eager to witness the birth of a strong individual through his training!

The sense of achievement was no less than when he developed this Spiritual Power testing machine!

But Wu Liang didn't respond immediately; he simply frowned and looked at the projected "Ghost Compendium," attempting to slowly turn one page at a time.

Then he glanced at Professor Guo and Fu Juan, as well as Jin Chenghua, with a strange look.

"They... can't see the things on it?"

From the moment it was projected, the fake "Ghost Compendium" Wu Liang saw was exactly the same as that in his mind!

It was packed with information about Fierce Ghosts worldwide, even updating in real-time along with his consciousness, with the text almost overflowing the pages.

But now, Professor Guo said it was a blank Celestial Book? The two beside him didn't refute?

"So, even using the projection method, the contents of the 'Ghost Compendium' can't be discovered by others?"

At this moment, a thought Wu Liang had never considered before suddenly exploded in his mind.

"What if I verbally conveyed the contents of the 'Ghost Compendium' to others? What would happen?"

The more Wu Liang thought, the more shocked he became.

The shock wasn't from such a method that even an elementary school student might think of, but rather why—based on his own logic—he'd never thought to completely disclose the contents of the "Ghost Compendium" before?

The second Supernatural resurgence is about to occur. If he could inform the authorities of these Fierce Ghost details in advance, wouldn't it be possible to better handle the disaster?

Although he wasn't someone with a Holy Mother or savior personality, it was likely he wouldn't really disclose the "Ghost Compendium" information.

But why hadn't such an idea come up from start to finish?

"Hiss... Wait! Something's not right!"

The more deeply Wu Liang thought about this issue, the more a piercing pain throbbed in his mind.

It was like a needle had pierced the depths of his mind, now being violently stirred, leading his entire mind into turmoil!

This agonizing pain caused his face to instantly turn pale!

Seeing this, Professor Guo quickly disconnected the machine, thinking that the projection had overexerted Wu Liang's Spiritual Power, and stepped forward to support Wu Liang, offering comfort.

This top research subject mustn't face any issues!

After taking a couple of deep breaths, Wu Liang gradually regained his composure, stabilized himself, and said with a smile as if nothing had happened, "Let's move on to the next test."

Despite his outward smile, Wu Liang's emotions weren't particularly happy at that moment.

Because during that headache, a memory flashed in his mind — it seemed that he'd once disclosed the existence of the "Ghost Compendium" to someone when the great disaster first hit!

But now he had no impression of it whatsoever! Truly terrifying upon careful thought!

His memory, it had gone wrong!

This wasn't due to something like the Monkey Claw, but an issue arising from Wu Liang himself or the real "Ghost Compendium" in his mind!

What does it want to conceal!?
