Seeing the system’s prompt, Ning Shi finally calmed down. According to the game system, although it took a long time for Saturn’s origin treasure to awaken its instincts, it had absorbed a lot of the world essence power, which was not invincible compared to the Evil Spirit World origin power.
Hao Meng didn’t know about Ning Shi’s turbulent emotions. She analyzed after hearing Ning Shi’s description of the Evil Spirit World.
“In that case, the spiritual disaster must have happened in ancient times. Combining the information we’ve obtained previously and making a comprehensive guess, we’ve more or less understood the situation of the three disasters.
“The insect disaster and beast disaster were originally a species dispute within the Saturn World. For some unknown reason, the insect world and Saturn were isolated.
“As for spiritual disasters, they were created by the Evil Spirit World that connected many worlds.
“I’m sure that in ancient times, not only did spiritual disasters happen but there were also insect and beast disasters.
“So whether it’s Centuries in the West or the prophecies of our ancient people, they can accurately predict insect disasters, beast disasters, and spiritual disasters. The so-called prophecies are just the personal experience of the ancient people.”
Ning Shi collected his thoughts and said calmly, “With the threat of the insect disaster that could easily destroy a country, if it happened in ancient times, it would be impossible for there to be no traces.
“However, there are some records of spirit disasters, but there are no records of insect or beast disasters. The insect and beast disasters likely occurred before the Qin Dynasty.
The recorded information might have been buried in the long river of history.
To humans, the unknown is always the most terrifying. It’s normal for the ancient people to regard the invisible and intangible spiritual disasters as the most terrifying of the three disasters.”
Hao Meng nodded, agreeing with Ning Shi. She said, “That’s right. According to the prophecy and the analysis of the documents, the order of the three disasters should be the insect disaster, followed by the beast disaster, and finally the spiritual disaster.
“This order is probably the order in which the people of ancient Saturn experienced disasters, so the prophecy also predicted this order. But now, for some special reason, the spiritual disaster has appeared before the beast disaster.”
Ning Shi didn’t say anything. He knew the reason for the early appearance of the spiritual disaster. It was very likely due to the battle between the hosts of the original Supreme treasure.
The Evil Spirit World’s origin treasure might have sensed the appearance of the origin treasure of Saturn World, so it came to Saturn World in an attempt to devour the other party to strengthen itself.
The origin treasure involved his core secret, so Ning Shi was not going to tell Hao Meng and the others for the time being.
“If the evil spirit detector you invented works, then our country will at least have the ability to resist the spiritual disaster,” he said.
“The situation is the worst in other countries. It is said that the Evil Spirit gathered tens of millions of followers abroad, and the addictive stimulant music they produced become very popular in foreign countries.
“Evil spirits use emotions as nutrients. There’s chaos abroad and people are in a state of panic. The emotions that the evil spirit has absorbed have probably reached a terrifying level.”
Hao Meng sighed. “If the production of the evil spirit detector is sufficient, we can sell it overseas through the government. While earning resources, we can also help them resist the invasion of evil spirits.
“Otherwise, if all the other countries fall, our country won’t have a good time either.
“However, you do not need to be too worried. After 40 years of development, the awakeners in foreign countries are stronger than those in our country. They also have a larger number of Overlords. They will not sit by and watch the evil spirit expand without limit.”
Ning Shi saw Hao Meng’s red eyes and said to her, “You should go back and rest. Since the evil spirit’s attack is a spiritual disaster, it will not be eliminated in a short time.
“This is destined to be a long battle.
“Compared to the insect disaster, which devoured everything, the evil spirits are terrifying, but they have not caused many casualties so far.
“From the official’s attitude, they didn’t ban the cruel images of the evil spirit killing people. I guess they want to use this evil spirit incident to further stimulate people’s awareness of being brave and martial.”
“Alright, Brother Shitou. I’ll go take a nap. Call me if you need anything.”
Not sleeping for two or three days was nothing to a spiritual-type Overlord like Hao Meng.
It was mainly because the research and development of the evil spirit detector had consumed too much of her brain power. After a few days of high-intensity thinking and research, Hao Meng was exhausted.
After Hao Meng left, Ning Shi received a call from Yun Moxiang ten hours later.
“Consultant Ning, after actual combat, the evil spirit detector is indeed effective. Just now, at the Wucheng Area’s Awakener School, with the help of the evil spirit detector, Consultant Zhou of the Investigation Department found an evil spirit assassin and killed it.
“According to Consultant Zhou’s description, when the evil spirit appeared, the red and green monster’s shadow would appear in the field of vision of the detector.
“We’re rushing the production of the detectors, but due to the lack of ‘Shen’ substance, the initial production is set at 200,000 pieces.”
In theory, it would be best for everyone to have this kind of detector that can see evil spirits. However, the ‘Shen’ substance was extracted from the bodies of scarabs and other insects with developed mental power. This kind of insect rarely appeared at the border, so the government did not have much of the ‘Shen’ substance in storage.
200,000 pieces would be enough for the time being if distributed to the entire country.
If it was not enough, Ning Shi planned to find time to go to the insect world to hunt some related insects and sell their corpses to the officials in exchange for cultivation resources.
Ning Shi picked up the evil spirit detector and thought for a while, then found Ilya and said, “Ilya, I want you to help protect the safety of the entire school. Can you do it?”
Ilya blinked her scarlet eyes and said, “I can do it if you want me to.”
“My students, family, and friends are all in the school,” Ning Shi said solemnly. “I’m counting on you. With you protecting me from the back, I can take the initiative to attack without worry.”
Now that the evil spirit detector had been developed, the First Strength School had also arranged for Zhao Youlin, a Tier 9 lightning-type awakener, to lead a team for protection, apart from Ilya.
Ning Shi passed the detector to Zhao Youlin. With his and Ilya’s double insurance, the school’s safety should be guaranteed.
Ning Shi planned to take the initiative to find and track the evil spirit assassins in the dark and find out their stronghold in Yunmeng Kingdom.
If they couldn’t find the base camp of the evil spirit assassins and had to defend passively, it would be a headache. Moreover, the experts of the government were different from Ning Shi. They didn’t have an origin treasure and couldn’t absorb the world essence in the bodies of the evil spirit assassins.
Even if he killed the evil spirit assassin, it would only cause the Evil Spirit World to lose some distress points.
The world essence in the evil spirit assassin’s body would still return to the Evil Spirit World origin treasure, which could use its emotions and the world essence to create new evil spirit assassins.
As long as there was enough emotion, there would be an endless stream of evil spirit assassins.
Ning Shi began to patrol back and forth between many schools in Donglin City. Finally, after three hours, he found traces of an evil spirit assassin.
The evil spirit assassin was discovered by the military expert wearing the evil spirit detector. It did not force the battle but instead used its blink skill to flash behind the students and nimbly escape.
When Ning Shi saw this scene, he remained silent and transformed into an evil spirit assassin, quietly following behind the escaping evil spirit assassin.
The evil spirit assassin’s perception was not strong and did not notice Ning Shi’s tracking.
It kept jumping forward, and after a certain distance, the evil spirit assassin’s entire body began to melt, gradually turning into a cloud of light smoke.
The light smoke seemed to be pulled by some kind of force, floating in a certain direction at an extremely fast speed.
Ning Shi followed behind, and the light smoke drifted further and further away, gradually leaving the urban area of Donglin City and floating to Green Dragon Mountain. After making a circle at the foot of the mountain, it suddenly disappeared.
Ning Shi maintained his evil spirit assassin transformation and carefully walked closer to check.
He found a tiny crack in the rock wall at the foot of the mountain. He mimicked the evil spirit assassin, turning into a wisp of smoke and floating in through the crack.
The crack snaked down until it was more than ten meters underground.
To his surprise, it was not a cave below the crack, but a solid and spacious underground building.
There were rows of houses made of reinforced concrete, and many people were walking around inside. This was an underground building complex that occupied a very large area.
After Ning Shi turned into a light smoke state, he had no vision and relied on his super perception.
He extended his senses and could still feel the rumbling coming from underground. This meant that the buildings were still being expanded.
Ning Shi instantly recalled what Yun Moxiang had said more than a month ago. The officials had chosen the location of Donglin City’s underground city to be near Green Dragon Mountain.
“I’ve entered the underground city newly built by the authorities. The fact that the evil spirit assassins are here means that their base camp is hidden in the underground city!
Ning Shi instantly remembered that when the He family had looked for trouble with him before, they had mobilized a Section Chief of Donglin City’s underground construction management department.
The officials arrested the followers and cleaned up the underground construction management department.
However, the evil spirit’s method of controlling people was very strange. Clearly, there were still people being controlled by the evil spirit in the underground construction management department.
They helped the evil spirit to set up a stronghold in a hidden place in the underground city.
