"Cough cough...cough cough cough! No...no!"

The old man looked at the scene inside, burning with anger, and turned his head to look at Lin Guang, Lisa, and Vishdair, without any fear, but roared, "What exactly have you done!!"

"As long as my research succeeds, it can allow humans with special talents to fuse with Spirit Beasts of high compatibility, or even fuse with humans possessing complementary talents. As long as we find the right direction, it can stimulate the spirit and achieve the miracle of talent advancement!"

Lin Guang slightly frowned: "You even tried human and human fusion?"

"So what? What's wrong with sacrificing those muddleheaded people for the future of humanity?"

His words resembled those typical mad scientists in movies: "What is the true difference between humans and Spirit Beasts? Why can talents control Spirit Beasts? What is the essence of talent? All these will be deconstructed in the experiments. I will stand on the shoulders of previous researchers and open a new chapter on the path of the Spirit Master. I will establish a school and be remembered in history!"

"If I succeed, human strength will experience an unprecedented leap and eradicate those Demons completely!"

Lin Guang coolly said, "So, have you succeeded? Or is there an example of talent successfully advancing? Or in the matter of human-human fusion, what achievement have you made?"

The old man suddenly was at a loss for words: "I..."

Lin Guang looked at him and said, "In fact, without tangible results, the effects of this highly touted technology of yours are barely comparable to those of Spirit Patterns and Inheritances related to animalization."

"Perhaps the effects have different focuses, and since you indeed have made contributions in the area of Chimeric Spirit Beasts, I won't make blustery criticisms about the technology itself."

"But when looking at the input-to-output ratio."

"By using Spirit Beasts with Purple Legendary Level potential, forsaking humanity, and conducting countless human experiments, you can only achieve this step. I can only say—"

"Your delusions are laughable to me."

Vishdair, on the side, curled her lips.

For some reason, she felt that Lin Guang's indifferent attitude at the moment resembled a person.

His teacher... Doctor Kaiwen.

Professor Gu was dumbstruck.

In an instant, his face turned from blue to white, then from white to purple, so angry that he couldn't say a word for a long time.

After a dozen seconds, he finally caught his breath and roared loudly, "It's all your fault!!"

"This time it should have succeeded!!"

He let out a hysterical shout: "But you ruined everything! Such a level of compatible candidate and Spirit Beast is not something you can come by easily!!"

"You are interfering with a great experiment that could go down in human history, you are a criminal against humanity!"

"No!! You're the criminal!!" Lisa suddenly shouted loudly.

The old man was stunned, calming down a bit, and finally looked directly at Lin Guang and the other two, his gaze finally resting on Lisa.

Lisa stubbornly took off the cloak from her body.

Revealing those huge fox ears... and the nine tails behind her.

Professor Gu muttered, "This Spiritual Power, you are... you are that successful fusion?"

"The runaway Nine-tailed Fox?"

"A Terran Demon?"

"..."

"!!!"

Professor Gu seemed to realize something, suddenly his eyes brightened, looking at Lin Guang: "You can make a pact with a Terran Demon, and remain unaffected mentally? Are you perhaps possessing a highly exclusive talent?! Therefore, you can resist her assimilation!"

"Your Spiritual Strength is extremely high, a Two-Star matching an average Four-Star, what quality is your talent? It must be Purple! And it must rank highly! Definitely within the top five hundred of the Talent Sequence!"

He looked at Lin Guang, the jubilation and excitement in his eyes were clear: "You must be a better choice! If you were the main focus, it might be possible to create—"

Lisa didn't speak, just condensed her gaze, and tightly gripped the Magic Staff in her hand.

Then...

With both hands swung wide, she swung the staff head fiercely, and with a thud, struck this mad scientist's head!

"Ugh—"

Professor Gu's head was covered in blood, he groaned and collapsed onto the ground, unable to get up.

"With me is already too much, but you even thought of involving Brother Lin Guang..."

Lin Guang had never imagined that Lisa's delicate and gentle little face could show an expression of such intense anger.

"Utterly disgusting... unforgivable!!"

She raised the long Magic Staff and heavily poked it a few more times on the man's body, Vishdair and Lin Guang distinctly heard the sound of bones breaking.

The two exchanged glances, seemingly feeling a sense of chill: "..."

But Lisa ultimately was the gentle girl she always was.

Looking at the unconscious old researcher, she pursed her thin lower lip, the hand holding the Magic Staff tightened then relaxed, eventually letting out a long breath, her eyes clearing, she refrained from continuing.

She released her grip, letting the Magic Staff disperse into glittering golden particles.

Lin Guang couldn't help but bend down to look into her eyes: "Lisa... are you okay?"

She didn't answer but suddenly turned around, hugging Lin Guang tightly, burying her small face into Lin Guang's chest, and the nine fluffy large tails wrapped tightly around his hands.

Lin Guang felt the warmth seeping through the clothes on his chest, his hands following the pull of her tails, gently encircling her small frame.

The girl seemed to enjoy it, obediently twitching those giant ears.

After holding like this for a while, Lisa reluctantly released Lin Guang, then turned around suddenly, and threw herself into Vishdair's arms, who already had a somewhat subtle look in her eyes, hugging her tightly as well.

"..."

The silver-haired girl was slightly taken aback, and her facial expression suddenly relaxed.

That face, typically wild-looking, had at this moment a hint of what could be called a gentle expression.

Lisa soon let go of Vishdair, revealing a genuine smile to the two: "Brother Lin Guang, Sister Vishdair."

"Thank you both."

"There's really no need to specially thank us... By the way, are you really not going to kill him?"

Vishdair extended the long black leather boot, nudging the old researcher a few times with her toe and asked like this.

"He doesn't have many years left to live, otherwise he wouldn't have been so eager to finish the experiment just now."

"Probably just now was his last chance to complete it, also his most hopeful experiment."

Lisa shook her head, speaking softly: "Letting him spend the rest of his days in hopeless regret is the best punishment for him..."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Guang walked up to a middle-aged researcher who seemed to have some status and asked, "Where's the base's database?"

This base has been built for at least two years, and having conducted so many experiments, there must be a server dedicated to storing data.

That man, being willing to stay and continue experimenting with Professor Gu at this critical moment, indeed had a tough backbone, initially unwilling to answer, but under the intimidation of Vishdair's [Fearful Face], his legs trembled, and he eventually surrendered, leading the three to the server room on the fourth floor.

Guarding the server was a rare Tier Four mechanical Spirit Beast [Firewall Beast], but its main ability was to prevent others from hacking the server online, and it had almost zero physical protection offline—after all, when this base was constructed, who could have imagined anyone would actually break into the deepest part of the underground fourth floor?

So, it didn't even have the authority to destroy server data and withhold it from the enemy.

Even the data of this base was integrated into a single standard cubic meter block resembling a black stone brick core database for easy transfer.

Other equipment in the room merely aided in operations and established a computing matrix as needed.

Lin Guang was initially prepared for a scenario where they self-destruct and gain nothing, but it surprisingly turned out to be effortlessly acquired.

"!!!"

However, just as Lin Guang placed the one-meter-by-one-meter massive hard drive into the Storage Spiritual Artifact, he suddenly felt a whirlwind, his entire body unsteady, swaying as if about to collapse.
