Chapter 379: The Ultimate Kill Under the Black Spirit Umbrella (5600 words)
Zhang Chengjing gave a faint smile, didn't immediately answer, holding the Black Spirit Umbrella in his hand, and then took the Turquoise handed over by Yan Junze before saying, "You follow me into the isolation room, and you do whatever I tell you to do."
In surprise, Yan Junze followed Zhang Chengjing into the isolation room.
Once inside, the door behind them shut, and Zhang Chengjing said, "First, stand in the corner, no need to come over here."
Yan Junze did as he was told and went to stand in the corner by the door of the isolation room, only to see Zhang Chengjing had already opened the Black Spirit Umbrella, set it up on the ground, and then placed the Turquoise beneath the umbrella.
Stepping back twice, everyone's gaze was fixed on the Turquoise beneath the umbrella.
Yan Junze stared unblinkingly at the area covered by the umbrella. At this moment, he could clearly feel that Zhang Chengjing had set up a magnetic field nearby. Although it was hard to detect, now that he was closer, he could still feel it.
About four or five minutes later, the Turquoise twitched, flipping over in the exact same way it had the last time.
After a while, a stream of black gas began to emerge and quickly solidified into the upper half of a human figure, almost entirely occupying the space beneath the umbrella.
At that moment, the black shadow seemed to realize something was wrong, as its own shadow could only stay under the umbrella and couldn't move outside.
It began to roar and thrash around, and before long, not only had its upper body fully emerged, but its legs also freed themselves from the Turquoise. However, due to the limited space, it couldn't fully stretch out and was forced to hunch within the umbrella, enraged.
Yan Junze glanced at Zhang Chengjing, who said, "I've just released his seal."
"Can he escape?" Yan Junze asked.
"Not for now," Zhang Chengjing shook his head.
It was apparent that the magnetic field seal around the Black Spirit Umbrella was only temporarily established by him and wasn't very stable. It could only momentarily restrain the impact of this Semi-Ethereal Spirit.
If it kept on ramming, there was a high chance it would break through the confinement of the umbrella.
Now, this Semi-Ethereal Spirit seemed very frustrated, its body the size of an adult's, and having discovered it was released, was about to leave. When it was unable to do so, it tried to extend its power beyond the perimeter of the umbrella to perform its most adept manipulation.
For example, finding two substitutes to help it do some tasks; with three people gathered, it could directly switch bodies and leave.
But now it seemed that its power still could not extend beyond the magnetic field surrounding the umbrella.
However, after bumping into it two or three times, the Semi-Ethereal Spirit found that the magnetic field started to loosen, so it began to muster its strength, preparing to break through this layer of confinement at once.
The vibrations from the collisions reverberated endlessly within the isolation room.
As soon as the Semi-Ethereal Spirit fully emerged, Zhang Chengjing signaled Shi Yanan to turn off all the lights in the lab.
Shi Yanan did not ask why and immediately ran to cut off the main switch.
The next moment, the space plunged into total darkness.
Yan Junze still stood in the corner by the door, motionless, his gaze fixed on the Semi-Ethereal Spirit that was trying to break through the magnetic field seal. The moment the lights went out, his hand suddenly tightened, seized by someone.
Instinctively about to shake free, Zhang Chengjing's voice immediately rose in front of him, "Don't move, I'm pulling that woman out of your shadow."
Yan Junze immediately stayed still, then he understood that Zhang Chengjing could perform such an operation.
Definitely last night, when testing Fang Ning's energy strength, Zhang Chengjing must have done something to her, so he could now, in the darkness, pull Fang Ning from Yan Junze like this.
Zhang Chengjing kept holding Yan Junze's hand, and not far away, one could still hear the Semi-Ethereal Spirit trying to break through the magnetic field.
After a short while, Yan Junze felt a shock, as if something was being peeled away from him.
This feeling was as if he had always had an extra layer of skin attached to him, unnoticeable before, but now it suddenly manifested and was being torn apart.
During this process, Yan Junze felt no pain or discomfort, just a strange sensation overwhelming his mind.
The next second, a piercing scream erupted beside him; the voice was undoubtedly Fang Ning's.
The screaming continued, evidently Fang Ning was being progressively stripped away.
Meanwhile, the collisions beneath the umbrella also persisted.
Just then, Yan Junze felt Zhang Chengjing's grip on his hand suddenly release, Fang Ning's screams ceased, and a gust of wind blew towards the Black Spirit Umbrella.
The collisions from the Semi-Ethereal Spirit also stopped instantly.
"Turn on the lights!" Zhang Chengjing shouted.
Shi Yanan, stationed by the power switch, immediately turned on the lights. In the isolation room, the Black Spirit Umbrella, which had been propped open on the ground, now stood upright, not falling over.
Zhang Chengjing's right hand formed a claw, hovering over the top of the Black Spirit Umbrella. Though the umbrella was upright, it still swayed from side to side, the umbrella surface bulging and then deflating.
The powers of the Semi-Ethereal Spirit, Fang Ning, and the Black Spirit Pearl had all come into contact within the umbrella.
Without moving his right hand away, Zhang Chengjing said to Wan Shouguang, "Old Wan, you can now activate the full control of the isolation room's magnetic field."
Upon these words, Wan Shouguang immediately pressed a button.
Yan Junze felt within this isolation room a humming sound akin to a surge of static electricity, causing goosebumps all over his body and even his hair stood on end.
