Chapter 214 Detection and Departure
While Wang Xiaoming was busy in the laboratory, news about the conflict between the Perfect Church and the German Union and the God Church gradually spread.

Especially on the Ghost Riders website, an insider released the details of what happened. The Perfect Church fought one against two, and the number of Ghost Riders was less than half of the other side, but they still managed to make a comeback and win.

This result shocked many forces. A ghost-controlling organization that had been established for less than half a year could actually achieve this.

Although the strength of the German Alliance is currently at a low point, according to intelligence, the German Alliance also sent a top ghost rider this time. Together with the top ghost rider of the Church of God, the two of them were unable to capture the missionary.

This undoubtedly proved the strength of the missionaries. Of course, the intelligence also mentioned that the Lord of Perfection worshipped by the Perfect Church also took action, but most people still believed that this was the strength of the missionaries, because according to their experience, the so-called God of Perfection was actually a ghost controlled by the missionaries, but this ghost had special abilities, like a legendary god.

"The German League was so shameful this time. First they failed to win over the team, and then they failed to fight. It was really shameful to watch."

"Who says it's not true? But I think it's what they deserve. The world is in such chaos now because of the captain's evil spirit they released. Many high-ranking officials of various forces have been affected. If the Renguo headquarters hadn't discovered the problem in time, the whole world might have been occupied by evil spirits now."

"Stop arguing, big news! The latest news is that the Perfect Church has declared war on the German Union and the God Church!"

"Wow! Oh my God! Is this true? Is the Perfect Church crazy?"

"I don't know whether the Perfect Church is crazy or not, but according to the information I received, the German Union and the God Church have begun to shrink their forces, and the Perfect Church has begun to attack cities and occupy a lot of territory."

"Is this true? The Catholic Church is fine, but the German Union has no shame at all?"

"Oh my god! It's true! Someone has revealed more news. People from the Perfect Church have appeared in many cities in the German Union."

"Even the German Union has withdrawn. It seems that the Perfect Church has really succeeded this time. I guess the Perfect Church will rule Europe in the future."

"That should be it. After such a big setback, the German League will probably be quiet for a long time."

Because of Captain Li Gui's actions, the prestige of the German Union and the Jian Kingdom in the world has greatly declined, and many places are full of hatred towards these two countries.

Therefore, it is probably partly because of the German League's concession this time that they wanted to avoid the limelight.

But no matter what, the development of the Perfect Church is unstoppable.

The next day, at Renguo Headquarters,

In the new laboratory, Wang Xiaoming brought Zhao Kaiming to the room where they controlled the evil spirit last time.

After yesterday's busy work, he had already prepared all the auxiliary tasks for controlling the evil spirits.

The room was filled with various patterns drawn with spiritual materials. This was a new formation he designed, and it was far more complicated than the last one.

"Just like last time, stand on that symbol," Wang Xiaoming directed Zhao Kaiming to walk into the formation, "Don't be nervous, this time will not be as painful as the last time."

Zhao Kaiming nodded, walked into the formation and stood still. The pain he felt when he controlled the evil spirit last time was still vivid in his mind. Even with Wang Xiaoming's explanation, he was still a little nervous out of habit.

Then he saw a flash of light in Wang Xiaoming's eyes, his eyes blurred, his feet vibrated, and the formation was activated.

A familiar feeling came up, and Zhao Kaiming felt that his connection with the four evil spirits in the wish pendant became closer. At the same time, he could clearly see a long, slightly damaged, translucent line between himself and the evil spirits.

“Is it already broken like this?”

Wang Xiaoming also saw that this translucent line was the connection between the wish ghost and Zhao Kaiming. It was the curse line and the basis for his research on curse control.

"Let's fix the holes we found first, and then repair the cursed line!"

Wang Xiaoming activated the formation and sketched out various runes in his mind. Finally, he transmitted them to Zhao Kaiming through the formation and linked them with the wish pendant.

Because the experiment had been simulated before, it went very smoothly and the basic repairs were completed in less than ten minutes.

Afterwards, Wang Xiaoming used the forging fire again. A large amount of milky white flames rushed towards Zhao Kaiming along the formation patterns on the ground, instantly enveloping his entire body.

With the help of the forging fire, the runes that were originally simply attached to the wish pendant were completely integrated into it.

After seeing this step completed, Wang Xiaoming continued to push the forging fire and repaired the curse line with the help of the formation.

Ten minutes later, when everything had returned to calm, Wang Xiaoming said to Zhao Kaiming: "Come out! It's over!"

Zhao Kaiming opened his eyes in confusion. He didn't feel any discomfort in the formation just now. It was a world of difference compared to the first time. "Is this the end?"

"I've already said that I did a lot of homework for this experiment and improved many aspects." Wang Xiaoming picked up the spiritual thermos cup placed aside and replenished the spirituality in his body. "Now feel the changes first, what is different from before."

Zhao Kaiming immediately closed his eyes to feel it, and after a while he opened his eyes and said, "All the previous evil spirit invasion has disappeared!"

"During the experiment, I treated you."

"Also, I feel like I have more control over the wish pendant."

"Well, I specifically strengthened it."

Zhao Kaiming was still trying to feel the difference from before, and Wang Xiaoming directly took out the sleeping chamber: "As usual, go in and test it first."

Not long after, the two returned to the laboratory, with Wang Xiaoming holding Zhao Kaiming's test data in his hand.

Compared with yesterday's data, Zhao Kaiming's condition has not only fully recovered, but also performed very stably.

"It seems that this experiment can extend the time of controlling the curse a lot." Wang Xiaoming nodded secretly.

Yes,

Although this experiment has made considerable progress, it is still some distance away from completely solving the problem of curse control.

These days, Wang Xiaoming concentrated on studying the photo curse and found that he was too optimistic before. He wanted to study how to control the curse that could be applied to everyone, which was almost as difficult as copying a ghost.

With his current strength, it is indeed a bit of a stretch, but fortunately he has many reference objects, such as photo curses, contracted evil spirits, and other evil spirits.

Through the mysterious runes in the bodies of these evil spirits, Wang Xiaoming learned a lot of useful knowledge, which made him confident in researching and controlling the curse at Sequence Five.

After collecting all the data, Wang Xiaoming looked at Zhao Kaiming who was doing nothing, and asked Chen Wei to send this guy away so as not to affect his work.

Without being disturbed by others, Wang Xiaoming quickly got into the state and began to conduct further research based on this experiment.

Time passed, around ten o'clock in the evening,

In a remote abandoned building, Wang Xiaoming was observing the starry sky with a super telescope. After a while, he put down the telescope, closed his eyes, and felt the magic potion digesting in his body. "Slow, too slow! I have already visited the places around Dajing City. Next, I should go to a place farther away."

Thinking about the speed at which the magic potion was digested in Southeast Asia, and then looking at the present, Wang Xiaoming shook his head helplessly.

"There won't be any major new developments in the research of curse control for the time being, so I can take this opportunity to go out for a walk."

After making up his mind, Wang Xiaoming didn't think any more about it. He picked up the extraordinary telescope and started the next round of observing the starry sky.

At 3:30 in the morning, Wang Xiaoming had returned to the headquarters. Instead of resting immediately, he went to the airtight magic room.

He has been learning astronomy and observing the starry sky these days, and gradually some rudiments of starlight magic have emerged in his mind. Today he is just ready to try it out.

He drew aside the heavy curtains and opened the window, revealing a dark blue sky dotted with stars.

Starlight casting is actually possible even when there is no starlight, but with starlight, the power will be increased by 30% to 40%, and casting will be easier.

"@*#%&..."

Wang Xiaoming recited complex and tongue-twisting words while outlining relevant runes in his mind. As he cast the spell, a human figure made up of starlight slowly appeared in front of Wang Xiaoming.

The starry sky is beautiful and magnificent. If you look closely, you will find that the appearance of this human figure is 70% similar to Wang Xiaoming.

"Starlight Clone!"

This is the name given to the spell Wang Xiaoming invented for himself. Its function is to create an avatar with his own aura, which can be easily controlled to attract and confuse the enemy.

But these are not the most important things. What is important is that this clone carries Wang Xiaoming's own aura, and can block some attacks that aim to lock Wang Xiaoming's life breath.

In this world, most evil spirits have the ability to attack their targets by locking onto their life breath. For example, in the original novel, the scapegoat doll simulates the life breath of the ghost rider and accepts the attacks of evil spirits on behalf of the ghost rider.

Now, the starlight clone can also completely simulate Wang Xiaoming's life breath. By analogy, as long as Wang Xiaoming's spiritual power is not exhausted, he will have an endless supply of surrogate dolls to accept the attacks of evil spirits on his behalf.

As for the spiritual reserve? Wang Xiaoming looked at the spiritual thermos cup placed aside and smiled. With the thermos cup, it would be harder than climbing to the sky to drain his spiritual energy.

"I feel that this starlight clone still has room for improvement!" Wang Xiaoming looked at the clone and fell into thought.

The sky gradually turned pale, and a red sun rose from the east.

After breakfast, Wang Xiaoming came to the laboratory and started packing up, throwing all the instruments that might be used into the wilderness of knowledge.

When Chen Wei arrived at the laboratory, she suspected that she had walked into the wrong laboratory. She saw that the laboratory in front of her had become empty and many instruments had disappeared.

"Professor, is our laboratory going to move?" Chen Wei asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"No," Wang Xiaoming shook his head, "I was going to be away for a while, so I took away some things that could be used."

"Go out?" Chen Wei was a little confused.

"Yes!" Wang Xiaoming nodded, "Take a look around. The laboratory will be vacant for a while. It just so happens that you haven't had a rest for a long time, so I'll give you a break during this time."

"What about your experiment?"

"I have brought many instruments with me. I am going to use them on the road. The experiments will not stop."

"Professor, why don't you take me with you? Someone will take care of you on the way."

Wang Xiaoming looked at Chen Wei, thought about it seriously, and refused: "No, it is very likely that you will encounter danger when you go out this time. You are an ordinary person, and I can't guarantee your safety."

Seeing that Chen Wei was a little disappointed, Wang Xiaoming gave her a few words of advice and left the laboratory.

At this time, Zhou Tong had already been waiting outside. He could be said to be the first person to know that Wang Xiaoming was going to leave the headquarters today.

"Professor, where are we going first?" Zhou Tong asked excitedly after taking Wang Xiaoming into the car.

"Let's go to the office building first and meet Minister Cao." Wang Xiaoming replied.

He had already spoken to Cao Yanhua on the phone today and informed him of his plan to leave the headquarters. Cao Yanhua did not stop him but simply asked him to come to the office building to meet him.

The office building and the new laboratory are very close. In less than five minutes, Wang Xiaoming arrived downstairs of the office building.

Before entering the door, I saw a man coming to greet me. It was Zhao Jianguo. After a few pleasantries, they came to Cao Yanhua's office.

As soon as he entered the office, Wang Xiaoming saw Cao Yanhua reviewing documents at his desk, and Mr. Qin sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

Seeing that it was Wang Xiaoming who came in, Cao Yanhua immediately put down the documents and walked over. Old Qin also put down the teacup in his hand and looked over.

"Professor, I'm very sorry," Cao Yanhua apologized as soon as he came up. "There are so many things going on at headquarters recently. Look at these documents. I didn't go home yesterday because of these things."

Wang Xiaoming nodded in understanding. The more powerful the headquarters was, the more things there would be to deal with, and no matter what the ghost riders did, there was no small matter, so most things needed Cao Yanhua's approval.

"Come, sit down first," Cao Yanhua pointed to the sofa area next to Mr. Qin, "I heard that you were leaving, and Mr. Qin said he wanted to meet you. He has something to tell you."

"Hmm?" After sitting down, Wang Xiaoming looked at Mr. Qin, "Is there anything I can do for you, Mr. Qin?"

After a few dry coughs, Old Qin said, "I have a few old friends. They were all ghost riders during the Republic of China period. The one who gave you the Chinese medicine powder last time was one of them. They have all heard about you and are very interested in you. Some of them want to meet you, so they asked me to bring a message."

"But I have to remind you that these old guys have been dealing with evil spirits all their lives, and they all have bad tempers. I can't guarantee that they won't attack you."

"Of course, it's up to you whether you meet me or not. I'm just a messenger."

Wang Xiaoming became interested: "Mr. Qin, please tell me clearly, who wants to see me?"

"One is the strongest ghost rider of our time," said Old Qin, with a hint of reminiscence on his face, "nicknamed 'Dongtian Emperor', real name Zhang Dong, and the other is Zhang Baihua, who specifically asked me to deliver Chinese medicine, and he was also the top ghost rider of our time."

Zhao Jianguo sat in the corner and asked curiously, "How strong are they compared to you, Mr. Qin?"

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Qin Lao coughed a few times and waved his hand, saying, "They can be said to be my predecessors. They are much stronger than me."

When Wang Xiaoming heard what Old Qin said, he just thought that the other party was humble and did not take it to heart. According to the information obtained from the original novel, Old Qin's strength should have reached the level of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China long ago, but he was not as good as Zhang Dong.
