Chapter 38 Life Portal

(This book has been renamed: "This Spiritual Energy is Deadly". Book friends, please look at the old cover and don't delete it! The cover will not be changed for the time being!)

Wang Ailin started the machine, removed the probe handle from the mechanical fixed arm, and twisted the knob on the side.

"That corpse caused a stir in the institute. The professors all thought it was a new breakthrough in psychic research, so they wanted to know more about the details of last night's spiritual explosion. Then, I came." Wang Ailin explained slowly.

"Just for this? Then you can go and get the reports from CPA and FPI, which are detailed enough." Diana sighed.

"Those reports can fool others, but they can't fool the institute. The reports submitted by CPA and FPI to other departments usually omit important details. I know this very well~" Wang Ailin turned around and immersed the newly installed probe in the blue solution for disinfection.

"Whatever you say." Diana did not comment.

"So, since I have a classmate in CPA, and she just happened to enter the scene, why don't I ask her~?" Wang Ailin pulled out the probe and looked at the fluorescent light.

"Oh? Then why should I tell her?" Diana said with disgust.

"The evening at the Sherry Nine Chocolate Shop... hot chocolate cups... and... a little secret between two girls, don't you want to reminisce with me?" Wang Ailin sat next to Diana and said softly.

Diana couldn't hold it anymore, licked her tongue, and said, "Okay... but you have to treat me this time."

"Let me help you drain first." Wang Ailin smiled.

There were three tiny needle holes two fingers below Diana's neck, which were traces of needle insertion.

Diana has been exercising all year round, and she goes outdoors for high-intensity exercise whenever she has time, which makes her have wheat-colored skin and streamlined muscles. The six abdominal muscles are like a whole version of Dove milk coffee chocolate, which is extremely attractive.

Wang Ailin watched with interest and couldn't help but reach out and poke it.

"Drain quickly, my back is a bit uncomfortable." Diana urged.

Wang Ailin touched her neck and gently inserted the probe into Diana's skin. The soft and slender probe quickly penetrated Diana's lower skin. Wang Ailin guided the probe to the position of the spine and went deep into it.

Diana squinted her eyes and felt that her nerves were pierced by a sharp thing. No matter how many times, she could not get used to this feeling.

In the tube at the other end of the probe, blue liquid mixed with a trace of red blood slowly flowed into the sealed capsule of the size of a can of cola next to it. The injection volume of energy level 1 was not much, just enough to fill a capsule. But Diana is a psychic of energy level 2, and it takes 11 and a half capsules to extract once.

"These two weeks are just right to deal with the paperwork at hand... Oh... Paperwork..." Diana sighed. Compared with writing reports and documents, she prefers to deal with sudden psychic explosions.

After the psychic drains, it will be routinely repaired for two weeks, and the field work will be rotated by colleagues who drained the last time. It can also be regarded as a disguised paid vacation.

"You are still restless as before, Diana, are you still single? You should really use these two weeks of free time to go to the beach to bask in the sun and use your muscular body to hook up with some handsome guys in the gym." Wang Ailin said.

"Come on, Ailin, aren't you alone now?" Diana laughed.

"No, I have a lover." Wang Ailin said calmly.

Diana turned back in surprise.

"Knowledge, knowledge is my lover." Wang Ailin said.

"Go to hell, Ailin, go and make love with Cthulhu." Diana rolled her eyes at her.

"If there is such an opportunity, Diana... I will..." Wang Ailin smiled faintly.

...

At the same time, Chen Ke was sitting in the cafe opposite the original Xijin Building, No. 4679 Black Box.

That was where he escaped last night.

He took a sip of coffee and swallowed it into his throat. He felt that the liquid just slipped through his throat and disappeared out of thin air, but the aroma of coffee still remained in his mouth and tongue.

"This is also good." He raised his head and toasted the coffee.

Chen Ke once wondered what would happen if he ate now? After all, he was like a perpetual motion machine now, without any need for nutrition and sleep. If he ate too much, would he digest and excrete it?

And now, he felt more and more that his current situation was completely illogical. It was a very puzzling thing to be alive without a heart. It was too abnormal to swallow food into the stomach without swallowing, and not feel the fullness of water pouring into the intestines.

What was inside his body like? A black hole?

Now, Chen Ke still had 8 hours to live, and he had been sitting here observing for more than half an hour.

The reason why he came here was because of the strange vortex mark on his chest...

After coming out of Pihom's gun shop, the vortex mark began to rotate again. This feeling was very strange, as if there were many things crawling in circles under the skin, but it was not as painful as before in the rental house.

Chen Ke had just unbuttoned his clothes and secretly looked at the mark on his chest. The mark turned black, as if there was a small black hole in his body.

When the mark began to rotate, something suddenly appeared in his field of vision. He could clearly see that the Xijin Building opposite was shrouded in a white beam of light.

The light was not dazzling, it flickered, like a beacon shooting straight into the sky. Chen Ke knew very well that only he could see this beam of light, because no one else, including the investigators who were waiting in line at the entrance of the black box of the building, felt anything unusual.

In fact, it was because of this beam of light that Chen Ke followed all the way here. Unexpectedly, the place where the beam of light was located was where he escaped from before.

What does this indicate? Does this mark want him to go in?

Although Chen Ke also wanted to go into the black box space and get some holy objects by the way, he was not an official investigator. He had no documents to prove his identity, and it was impossible for him to enter any black river space through legal means. It was meaningless to break in by force. He didn't want to have a direct conflict with the official agencies yet.

Unless they posed a threat to him.

"Let's go over and take a look. Maybe there will be a way." Chen Ke thought so, paid the bill and left, pushed open the glass door of the cafe, and walked towards the building.

He crossed the road and set foot on the road he had escaped from before. He walked forward a few hundred meters and came to the alley where he hid after jumping out of the light crack last night. It was only eight or nine hours ago, but now I feel a strange sense of nostalgia.

The closer the mark is to the light column, the faster it rotates, and the more intense the feeling in the heart is. To use an inappropriate metaphor, it is as if the girl you love is right next to you, and the closer you get, the more excited you are.

The halo is already close at hand. Chen Ke stood in the alley on the side of the building, looking at this strange luminous body, and couldn't help wanting to reach out and touch it.

The halo is like a thin veil, expanding and contracting one after another. His fingers passed through the halo, without any touch, and without blocking the light.

Chen Ke looked up and looked at the roof and the sky along the light column. It was not shining from the sky, but from the ground up.

The mark on the heart was still rotating. At this time, it was as fast as a rotary engine, and a pulling feeling arose spontaneously, as if something wanted to burst out from the center of the vortex.

He couldn't help but cover his heart, worried that if he continued like this, he would explode on the spot.

"How to get in...?" He thought.

"Consume 1 hour of life to open the portal."

"You have 7 hours, 29 minutes and 47 seconds left..."

A line of orange words suddenly appeared in the corner of his eyes.

A drop of sweat fell from Chen Ke's forehead.

The vortex in his heart suddenly accelerated exponentially. Chen Ke felt something in his body was about to burst out from the center of the mark. He was pulled by this force and couldn't help but tiptoe and straighten his chest.

"Fuck! Fuck!" The feeling of bursting became stronger and stronger. Something was really coming out! Chen Ke breathed rapidly and looked uneasy. At the same time, he didn't forget to look around, fearing that passers-by would see his abnormality.

"Swish!"

A ball of white light burst out from his chest and stopped two steps away from him. The ball of light kept spinning in the air, spreading from the center to the surroundings, forming an elliptical portal 2 meters high and half a meter wide.

The portal was surrounded by a white halo and was still spinning. Inside the portal was a different scene. Chen Ke recognized it almost immediately. That was the place where he was lying when he just crossed over...
