When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 910 - 354: Miracle from Birth_3
The group responded with a nod, and under Professor Xu’s command, they divided into two teams, one to rest and the other to keep an eye on the data.
Li Xiu kept watching from the side; with such high-tech stuff, he couldn’t offer much help, just observing.
The tall demon spirit corpse emitted a dazzling orange light, and Li Xiu wore the same special work suit as the researchers to protect against the orange light affecting his body.
His eyes never left the demon spirit’s body. Even though all the data seemed normal, Li Xiu felt uneasy.
Everything was too smooth. Even if it was an imbecile demon spirit, an imbecile should still have some sense.
No matter how foolish someone is, if blood is drawn from them, they should know pain and fear.
Yet this demon spirit showed no reaction, like a vegetative state.
Li Xiu wasn’t sure if vegetative people felt anything; he hoped they didn’t and wished for everything to continue smoothly.
"Commander, you should go rest for now. We’ve got everything here covered, and I’ll have someone notify you immediately if anything unusual happens," Professor Xu said, walking over.
"No need, seven days are nothing for the Trial Taker," Li Xiu planned to oversee everything from start to finish, ready to address any emergency immediately.
"This isn’t just a one or two-day task. Can you sustain vigilance for seven days, or perhaps a month? To reduce the demon spirit divine position’s light energy to the ideal level, it would take at least two months to complete even if all pipelines were activated simultaneously. Can you stay sleepless for two months?" Old Guan said, approaching.
"Old Guan, I feel a bit uneasy — are all the metrics truly stable?" Li Xiu hesitated and spoke.
"I just checked, very stable, not a ripple — don’t worry," Old Guan replied.
"It’s precisely because there’s not a ripple that makes me uneasy. If there were disturbances we could fix, that would be better," Li Xiu said.
Professor Xu and Old Guan exchanged glances, then Professor Xu said, "Your worries aren’t unfounded. I have similar concerns. Yet, with the current stability and no anomalies, we can’t just stop now, can we?"
Old Guan remained silent, walked over, and checked all the instrument readings again. After reviewing them, he returned to Li Xiu and said, "All values are indeed stable to the point of unease. Do you have any thoughts?"
Li Xiu shook his head. "I don’t have any thoughts or discoveries, just a feeling of unease."
"Unease isn’t just a feeling; it’s your subconscious realizing something, hence the unease. Since we’re all a bit uneasy, let’s halt for now," Old Guan decisively commanded the researchers to shut down the light energy extraction devices.
The transparent pipelines transporting the orange light energy gradually dimmed and finally ceased extracting light energy.
Staff approached and disassembled the light-absorbing devices from the demon spirit.
The first light-absorbing device was removed smoothly, but while the staff were disassembling the second one, the demon spirit’s body suddenly shook.
The sudden jolt sent the staff tumbling from the scaffold, but Li Xiu reacted quickly, catching both workers mid-air with his hands.
As Li Xiu descended, he saw the demon spirit’s body shivering, and at its abdomen, armor-like orange-blue crystals swelled up rapidly, soon resembling a pregnant woman’s belly.
Everyone’s faces changed drastically. Old Guan and Professor Xu immediately commanded everyone to activate various containment devices.
Light burst forth from the devices containing the demon spirit, crisscrossing its body like rainbow webs, enveloping it within.
Enclosed by the light web, the demon spirit’s body trembled less, yet the bulging abdomen showed no signs of stopping and continued to enlarge.
The rainbow-like radiance had already sunk into its belly, yet the belly continued to grow.
At the first moment, Li Xiu activated the Evil Spirit Token’s Dual Casting Spirit, merging the red and blue casting spirits with his body.
Simultaneously, he summoned the Forbidden Spear in Gatling form, and blood vine-like casting spirits surfaced on its barrel.
Li Xiu aimed the Forbidden Spear at the demon spirit but did not immediately attack.
"Light Energy Activity...1785...1986...2059...Huh...Light Energy Activity began decreasing...1987...1682...957...571...271...168...88...now within normal range..."
Although staff reported values returning to normal levels, most already back to standard levels, no one believed the demon spirit truly returned to normal.
The demon spirit’s inflated belly suddenly contracted, condensing into a strange face in its abdominal cavity.
The face, egg-shaped, was much smaller than the three faces atop the demon spirit’s head and resembled a face-shaped belt buckle in its abdominal area.
The small face had ears, eyes, and a mouth but no nose. The mouth curved just like a clown’s smile, slightly upturned at both corners.
While the small face had eyes, they lacked pupils, emitting orange light and drooping in a crescent-shaped manner.
As the little face began to grin, what appeared to be a smile suddenly transformed into a demonic grimace, with saw-like teeth showing inside its mouth.
The containment setup proved effective; no matter how the little face twisted, it couldn’t tear through the rainbow light web that entrapped it.
Seeing the apparition break free, the researchers collectively let out a sigh of relief.
Although the containment might not last long, it was better than having no buffer time.
Old Guan intended to say something to Li Xiu, but suddenly, an eerie moment occurred.
The little face ceased its writhing, its drooping eyes glaring at Li Xiu, emitting an eerie voice: "Commander, are you here to kill me?"
