Chapter 140 Madman

Linyuan University, at the door of a laboratory.

Hongling's fingers quickly moved on the screen of her mobile phone, edited a line of text, and after sending it, she pushed the door and entered the laboratory.

In the laboratory, Shen Tongguang was holding a glass test tube with a light blue liquid in it. He shook the test tube and then raised it to observe the color of the liquid.

"Brother." Hongling called softly.

"You are here, Hongling." Shen Tongguang shook the test tube in his hand again, observed it, and then put it on the test tube rack, smiled indifferently, and looked at Hongling.

"Why, why do you do this?" Hongling's expression was serious, and she asked.

"Oh, what are you talking about?" Shen Tongguang looked calm.

"The light-avoiding beast in the black forest, and the candidate whose spirit was invaded by the monster in the abyss on the stage, are all your work." Hongling said.

"Yes, I did it all." Shen Tongguang did not quibble, but directly admitted it.

Hongling was slightly surprised. She didn't expect Shen Tongguang to admit it so easily. She actually held a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that she had guessed wrong.

The only one in Linyuan City that was researching the light-avoiding beast was the research laboratory of Linyuan University, and Shen Tongguang was the person in charge of this research project. He was also the invigilator of the entrance examination, the Black Forest Secret Realm.

He couldn't have been unaware of the light-avoiding beast that appeared in the Black Forest.

All signs pointed to Shen Tongguang, so Hongling came here. She wanted to hear Shen Tongguang tell her the reason for the incident.

"Why do you do this? They are all living beings! Why collude with the monsters in the abyss, why help them come to this world?" Hongling's emotions gradually became angry, and her tone became heavier.

"Help them? No, no, no, I'm just doing my own research, not helping them. They are just my experimental subjects, just my pawns." Shen Tongguang showed a disdainful look on his face, as if the Yamata no Orochi was not worth mentioning in his eyes.

He looked up at the sky outside the window, with white clouds flying and the blue sky clear.

"Do you still remember when you first started researching the light-avoiding beast?" Shen Tongguang spoke slowly.

"Remember." Hong Ling said coldly.

I remember that it was 4 years ago, when Hong Ling had just entered Linyuan University. The Abyss Research Team of Linyuan University captured a strange beast in the abyss. They only appeared in the dark and would completely disappear in the light environment. Once they were separated from the group, they would instinctively make a low, hoarse and desolate sound.

That was the light-avoiding beast, the first light-avoiding beast discovered by Linyuan University.

After it was brought to Linyuan University, Hong Ling's mentor Wang Qingwen began to study it.

The monsters in the abyss not only have strange shapes, but also have completely different properties from other creatures.

There was no progress in the research in the first two years.

Until one time, because of an unexpected accident, the light-avoiding beast was released from the completely closed culture dish. It was night, and everyone in the laboratory had left. When all the lights dimmed, the light-avoiding beast instinctively activated the sleep talk skill to call, which lasted for a whole night.

That night, a student on duty was affected by the mumbling and became mentally disturbed. He is still in a mental hospital.

His thoughts and memories were completely wiped out. He remembered nothing. All memories and cognition disappeared. It was like returning to childhood. He didn't know anything and didn't know anything, like a two or three-year-old child.

After this incident, the tutor Wang Qingwen kept the light-avoiding beast more strictly and put its research on hold for a while. After going through layers of protection and passing various reviews, it was able to restart.

However, after that, the research on the light-avoiding beast did not make any progress. Until Hongling graduated, there was no further breakthrough.

"The light-avoiding beast gave me inspiration." Shen Tongguang said, "We studied its shape and its characteristics, but in fact, we started in the wrong direction. What we should study most is its influence on the human spirit, which can clear human consciousness and completely clear the soul consciousness that belongs to this body."

Shen Tongguang changed the subject and looked at Hongling and said, "Have you visited the teacher recently?"

Hongling nodded.

Teacher Wang Qingwen, who is already 80 years old, was hospitalized for health reasons some time ago. Hongling visited him several times.

"The teacher has studied the creatures of the abyss for a lifetime, mastered various theoretical knowledge, has rich practical experience, and is very strong. But now, look at him, he can only lie on the hospital bed helplessly, unable to do anything, the experiment had to be terminated, and all the subjects could not be participated in. He can't even guarantee a normal life now, let alone scientific research. The biggest enemy of mankind has always been only one - time." Shen Tongguang emphasized his voice, he stood up, and looked at Hongling with shining eyes.

"For scientific researchers, time is precious and cruel. As long as there is enough time, we can continue to study, explore the mysteries of this world, and solve one puzzle after another. However, life is so short. Often when a research is just started, life is about to come to an end, and it has to be terminated and given up. Do you know how painful this is? Unable to explore the truth, can only wait for the arrival of death on the hospital bed, the mentor is like this now."

"He entrusted me with the research on photophobia. The last time I visited him, he didn't even remember what happened yesterday, let alone the research on photophobia. Time is ruthless and can take away anything. No matter how outstanding your talent, how high your IQ, or how strong your scientific research ability is, it is not worth mentioning in the face of time!"

Shen Tongguang's face showed a lonely expression.

"So what is your purpose?" Although Hongchen had a guess, he still asked as if to verify it.

"I need time, a lot of time." Shen Tongguang said, "As long as I am given enough time, I can solve all the mysteries in the world and explore the secrets of the abyss. But you see, I am 35 years old now. I can feel that my energy and physical strength are declining, and I don't have much time."

"I need time. Since this body only has 100 years, how about changing to another body? As long as my spirit lasts, no matter whose body it is, I can use it to continue my research."

Shen Tongguang raised his head, his eyes full of longing.

"So you want to live forever!" Hong Ling said in surprise. She couldn't believe her ears. What did she hear?

In this era, there are still people who want to live forever. The ancient emperors ruled the whole world. They controlled the life and death of all living beings. Standing at the pinnacle of power, they had nothing else to ask for except immortality.

But after spending a lot of time, manpower and material resources, no emperor could achieve immortality.

Now Shen Tongguang, he raised this question again. He wants to live forever.
