Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 821
Chapter 821: Chapter 270: Shadow-Canceling Beam, Collect the Mother Source Core!
Boom!
The containment room door slammed shut, and the basic Shadowless Light illuminated overhead, suppressing the parasitic ability of the Ghost Shadow Spider.
This time, Yu Yong didn’t bravely mock but instead darted into the corner of the room like a frightened animal.
Cheng Ye strode forward, causing Yu Yong to swiftly move to the other side, playing a game of Qin King’s pillar dodge around the room’s furniture.
Perhaps due to the worsening infection, much like the cost brought by the Shrinking Earth Giant Louse, which enhanced physical abilities, Yu Yong’s physical condition seemed to have been further strengthened.
The two kept dodging each other inside the room, and Cheng Ye was shocked to find that he couldn’t catch the guy at all.
“What did I say last time I was here?”
He simply stopped, his muffled voice resonating from inside the armor, “I said, you’re actually afraid of me.”
Yu Yong’s expression remained unchanged, as though he hadn’t heard, yet he stood warily in the corner, retorting with undaunted words:
“Is this all you’re capable of? Come on, release the infection source within your body! Let me see just how weak its power truly is!”
Apparently, though Yu Yong’s mind had been corroded by the infection source, he hadn’t become completely foolish.
Realizing that resistance was futile, he instead wisely chose to hide and delay.
However.
Under Yu Yong’s vigilant gaze, the tall figure in the battle armor slowly raised his right hand.
A red button was pinched between the thumb and index finger.
“Researcher Yu, I initially wanted to have a discussion with you, but now, I invite you to join me in validating whether the Shadow-Canceling Light I developed works against the Ghost Shadow Spider!”
The words fell emotionlessly, as he gently pressed the red button with his fingers.
Puff.
The overhead lamp suppressing parasitism didn’t change color, but suddenly, a large retractable searchlight rose from the floor.
Evidently, the research institute worried that replacing all light sources might lead to a resurgence in the parasitic ability of the Ghost Shadow Spider, thus they’ve designed this cautiously.
Cheng Ye strode over to the searchlight, gripping the handle and slightly lifting it.
Buzz——
A violent vibration echoed steadily, as the searchlight gradually ignited a ray of light.
It wasn’t the bright white of the Shadowless Light, but an extremely strange blackish-blue, which under the support of energy, condensed into a beam visible to the naked eye.
“If your speed doesn’t exceed the speed of light, I suggest you…”
Cheng Ye said, abruptly lifting the searchlight, directing the blackish-blue beam straight onto Yu Yong in the corner.
Engulfed by the beam, the expression on Yu Yong’s face nearly froze, and his body stood immobilized.
Effective?
All the researchers outside the lab widened their eyes simultaneously, even the usually composed Yu Erlan couldn’t help but narrow her pupils, raising her wrist to slide across her watch, intently monitoring Yu Yong’s real-time vital signs.
Yet the data showed no changes at all?
Clearly fixed by the beam, Yu Yong’s life signs remained stable, without any fluctuation.
“Phew… it seems effective.” Cheng Ye turned around, even though his face was shielded by the armor, everyone could distinctly feel the smile in his tone, “I specifically studied light wave bands that suppress the Ghost Shadow Spider. The Ghost Shadow Spider possesses a special sensing substance, which is its core parasitic method. Previously, using Shadowless Light merely temporarily covered the signal transmission path of this substance with a special band, like encasing it in a signal shield, but its core activity continued, and as soon as the light withdraws, the parasitic ability quickly recovers.”
Yu Erlan frowned slightly, quickly tapping her watch, eyeing the screen’s flashing pale purple particles, asked: “So your approach is to directly negate its sensing substance?”
“Not entirely, my method attempts a resonant suppression, this sensing substance relies on frequency for locking, and the wave band of the Shadow-Canceling Light, precisely calibrated, can achieve reverse resonance with this frequency, akin to using equal force to pluck an opposite guitar string, silencing the originally vibrating string instantly.”
The logic is simple, Shadowless Light is about covering bands to screen, while Shadow-Canceling Light is about directional strikes to suppress.
Yu Erlan’s facial expressions fluctuated repeatedly, refraining from questioning how the frequency was discovered, she instead asked: “So, your idea is?”
“To weaken its strength first.” Cheng Ye’s tone remained calm, “Making Yu Yong fear us is useless, we have to let the Ghost Shadow Spider know who the real master here is.”
With those words, he turned and walked toward the immobilized Yu Yong.
Seeing Cheng Ye approach, an undisguisable fear surged in Yu Yong’s eyes, yet his body remained immobile, allowing Cheng Ye to lift him up like a chick.
“Don’t be so scared, this is just the beginning.” The voice akin to a demon echoed again.
Immediately thereafter, Yu Yong’s body was pressed against the light wall, audibly emitting a “sizzling sound,” like droplets of water falling into boiling oil.
Just like last time, black mist surged from his body’s surface instantly, and the Ghost Shadow Spider’s shrill scream pierced the air.
Yet this time differed, whereas the black mist would vanish upon emergence before, now it seemed immobilized, not scattering, but instead growing denser under the illumination of the Shadow-Canceling Light.
The chill in the air intensified abruptly, laced with a musty sweetness, causing Cheng Ye’s hairs to stand up instantly.
As the light revolved, the dispersed black mist began rapidly churning, seemingly drawn by an invisible force, gradually coalescing and condensing.
Initially a vague black haze, the mist twisted and entwined under the light, slowly outlining a clear shape.
Clusters of fist-sized spider forms!
Pitch black like ink, their exoskeleton glowing with a greasy sheen, the fine hairs barely visible under the light, and the eight slender legs sharp as blades, not fully formed yet exuding an eerie malice.
