Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 563 Price Transfer
As mentioned before, the group of defectors from the Haixin Society had very few combat members; most of them came from laboratory backgrounds.

On the eve of their escape, the group naturally made use of what they had on hand, taking a lot of things from the laboratory, who knows, they might come in handy during their escape?

At the very least, they could use those devices to detect any strange auras in the surrounding area and thus determine if they were being pursued.

Standard data analysis glasses are an essential item for every DX project researcher, so naturally, they are not omitted.

Having dealt with the supernatural all day, they immediately noticed something amiss through the data detected by their glasses.

The strange entity inside Chuck was unusually quiet, showing no signs of eroding Chuck's body or mind.

This is incredible.

Hearing their shouts, Lydia instinctively backed away, asking warily, "What do you mean 'something's not right'? Is the strange thing inside him about to go berserk?"

"No! It's not a berserk state, quite the opposite, the strangeness within Mr. Battier has not caused any damage to his body!"

One of the researchers pushed up his glasses and said excitedly.

No erosion at all? How is that possible!

Lydia instinctively wanted to question it, but after thinking about it carefully, she held back.

Although these two are terrible fighters, they are researchers who can participate in top-secret projects, so their ability to study the bizarre is definitely not bad, and the possibility of them being wrong is very low.

In addition, having been away from the Haixin Society for so many years, I am unaware of whether the Haixin Society has made any breakthroughs in its research on reducing the strange side effects.

What if Hai Xin Hui has already found a way to completely eliminate the side effects of ordinary supernatural substances?

Lydia couldn't help but imagine things in a way that would be advantageous to her.

For Lydia, whose bizarre corruption had seeped into her very bones, the advancement of the Sea Heart Society's technology was all the better.

This proves that her betrayal of Zhu Lan and the others was a wise move.

Humans are like that; once they embark on a path with no turning back, they will constantly seek rational explanations for their actions to convince themselves.

Unlike Lydia, who was lost in thought, the two researchers, who hadn't been involved in their work for many years, were both nostalgic and excited.

People who dare to study the bizarre are more or less abnormal.

They were already tired of the dull and tedious secluded life in Asia Union.

However, due to Chuck's identity and their current environment, they dared not go forward to observe him closely, and could only hide behind Lydia to peek at Chuck.

The dangers of bizarre research need no further explanation. This is not a laboratory. If Chuck suddenly goes out of control, they will be the ones in trouble.

Chuck, confused about his own situation, turned his attention to the two researchers.

"Can you detect the strange thing inside me?" Chuck asked.

The two researchers exchanged a glance.

One of them replied, "Our glasses were specially customized for Project DX. They can analyze some strange, normal data, such as activity level or erosion level..."

Chuck glanced at their glasses, then at his own body, and fell into thought.

"Hey, is that weird thing inside you some new technology from the organization?"

Lydia couldn't help but ask.

Chuck ignored Lydia and bypassed her, asking one of the researchers, "Have you ever encountered a situation like mine?"

Chuck wasn't sure whether his current state was a good thing or a bad thing.

Who knows if the strange creature's current silence is a prelude to gathering strength for an explosion?

In Chuck's view, since the other party was a researcher of a top-secret project, his understanding of the supernatural and strange things was at least superior to that of him, a combatant.

Professional matters should be handled by professionals.

The two researchers looked at each other, bewildered: "You mean...?"

"The strange object fell silent and no longer has any negative effects."

Chuck succinctly explained his physical condition.

"I have encountered it before, but..."

"Just what?"

Before the researcher could finish speaking, Lydia preemptively questioned Chuck.

With her body on the verge of collapse, she was more concerned with ways to reduce the strange corruption than with Chuck.

Lydia's health began to deteriorate rapidly in the last two years; she had never taken the strange infestation seriously before.

Lydia only felt fear when death was truly near.

If she hadn't been so busy establishing connections with Haixin Association and only recently met up with these two researchers, she would have asked the question long ago.

The researcher gave a wry smile and explained, "There are two types of cases where the bizarre silence is completely absent."

One possibility is that the supernatural entity evolves and enters a dormant period. During this period, driving the supernatural entity does not incur any cost, but the cost to be paid in the future will increase exponentially.

The advantage is that unorthodox users may possess power at the level of a fusion warrior.

"anything else?"

Lydia pressed for an answer.

She wasn't interested in increasing her power; reducing the erosion was her top priority.

"Another possibility is that someone compensates for the strangeness within you; internally, we call this 'secondary domination'."

To ensure the two could understand, the researchers avoided using technical jargon.

He used a simple example to illustrate his point: "Simply put, it means finding someone who is at least a Fusion Warrior level, establishing a link between you and them, and bringing the strangeness within you under their control."

In this way, when the parties involved drive the bizarre secondary domination, they do not have to pay any price.

The Special Affairs Bureau used a similar principle to distribute the bizarre side effects of the drive evenly among everyone on the South American continent…

"Wait a minute, I remember that Apostles can ignore strange corruption, right?"

According to you, as long as there is one apostle in the organization, everyone in the organization can use strange powers without any side effects.

Why would the Special Affairs Bureau then have to share the cost with ordinary people in South America?

Chuck questioned the researcher's claims.

The researcher in charge of the explanation rolled his eyes, while another researcher quipped, "Who knows if this method will work on Apostles? Anyway, our Sea Heart Society has never produced an Apostle..."

Chuck fell silent, and at the same time, his heart began to waver.

He didn't believe that the dormancy of the strange creature inside him was because someone had compensated for the side effects; he was absolutely certain that the strange creature was about to evolve.

Under Ai Liang's subconscious suggestion, Chuck wouldn't even consider another possibility.

The defectors also didn't believe that anyone would be kind enough to help Chuck share the burden of the supernatural's corruption.

Lydia was utterly disappointed with the researcher's explanation.

This means that her only way to survive is to adapt to the medication.

Lydia didn't believe that any Fusion Warrior within the Heart of the Sea would be willing to endure an extra layer of this bizarre corruption for the sake of a traitor like her.

Just as Chuck was about to ask more questions about the bizarre evolution, Lydia's phone rang.

The person they had been waiting for finally arrived.
