Nightmare Light

Chapter 111 The truth behind the final promotion
In those wave-like images and sounds, the part about Wu Yiya was shattered like pieces of paper in a shredder.

"Report! Senior Researcher Wu Yiya of Esoteric Arts and Symbolism, reporting in!"

"The twelfth experiment is about to begin! Who is that idiot? Stay away from the damn experimental sample! Wu Yiya? Get that idiot out of here!"

"Wu Yiya! Take your data pad and get out of the experimental area! The next time you talk to the experimental subjects, I will sew your mouth shut, along with that stupid fog at the corner of your mouth!"

"Wugong! The experiment is about to begin! The high priest requires you to come over quickly!"

Lin Wang watched the figures in front of him coming and going. Among these figures, the man called "Wu Gong" gradually changed from a young man full of vigor and vitality to a middle-aged man with a slightly balding head, and the thickness of his glasses also became much thicker.

And this man gradually became much more vivid and clear in Lin Wang's eyes.

There was a cloud of fog on his left cheekbone, so his glasses would fall down from time to time due to lack of support.

Because of his poor eyesight, he always squints and leans forward when looking at things.

His catchphrase is "It suddenly occurred to me"...

He always carries himself with a hunchback.

From the middle of these scenes onwards, a rising shadow appears on his back.

That shadow looks a bit like a human head.

Lin Wang narrowed his eyes, staring at the rising shadow with a thoughtful look.

Later in these scenes, the entire research facility is deserted.

Lin Wang saw in the picture that Wu Yiya, with two heads, was running around in the entire experimental facility, fiddling with various experimental instruments.

He also saw that Wu Yiya, who had almost lost his human form, tried to tie himself up in the experimental cabin, and inserted various tubes into his body and injected some strange potions into his body.

At the end of the picture, Wu Yiya, who had been completely distorted and had lost his human form, was crawling in front of a row of bottles and jars with two heads (one of which looked more like a huge tumor).

He looked at the bottles and jars in front of him, was silent for a few seconds, and then mumbled, "The 1,300th experiment."

The picture shattered.

Lin Wang's gaze returned to the elevator room.

The giant flesh and blood monster in front of him was still fighting, but Lin Wang's look at him became a little complicated.

"I see." He sighed.

"I can't help you fulfill your wish... but I can help you escape from the cage."

As he spoke, Lin Wang raised his hand, and a white fire ignited from the palm of his hand, flowing down, landing on the surface of the giant monster, and spreading to the surroundings.

After a few seconds, the entire giant monster burst into flames.

The huge body was burning, the flesh and blood were collapsing, and under the pale flames, a pungent stench was emitted.

But at the same time, almost everyone present felt at the same time that a certain emotion of "relief" lingered in the air.

It was as if a silent sigh sounded quietly and dissipated in the air.

"Hey……"

The flames on Lin Wang's body went out, and he walked out from the pile of flesh and blood of the giant monster. Behind him, the fire that almost filled the entire room collapsed and shattered.

Tall northerners, mountains of white fire, pitch-black tombstones and coffins, and a cat playing the suona...

This scene, in the eyes of everyone, formed a bizarre yet shocking picture. Everyone ran towards Lin Wang.

"Mr. Lin!"

"Brother Lin!"

"Meow!"

"He is my husband!" The last sentence is a paper barrage.

"Everyone." Lin Wang interrupted everyone and looked at everyone: "I already know the origin of this monster."

No one spoke, all waiting for his next words.

Lin Wang took a deep breath and sighed, "It's... a member of the Mist Clan who has successfully been promoted."

"...What?!" Lao Gu was stunned for a moment, then his voice suddenly rose, his tone becoming incredulous. "You mean, promotion?"

"Given your status in the Mist Tribe, you should have heard of this plan, right?" Lin Wang glanced at Lao Gu, then turned his head and quietly looked at the giant monster that was almost completely burned. "I just saw a lot from its memory - I already know the plan completely."

"You mean, that monster is a member of my tribe who successfully advanced? You burned him to death!?" Lao Gu suddenly became anxious again. "Advancement is so important to our tribe, why did you burn it..."

Lin Wang interrupted him: "That's not just one member of the Mist Clan, that's almost all the members of the Mist Clan in this facility."

"...What?" Gu Shuochuan was stunned.

"This monster is composed of almost all the Mist Tribe members in this facility—including researchers and experimental subjects—combined together."

"So I saw the memories of almost all of them, including the complete 'Final Promotion' plan."

"In the middle of the Three Emperors era, the Mist Clan left their original territory and migrated into the mist. After entering the mist, their 'curse', the mist-transformed disease, became more severe."

"So after entering the mist, the Mist Tribe began looking for a permanent solution—your ancestors wanted to find a way to resolve this series of problems."

"At that time, within the Mist Tribe, two voices were most powerful: one was the desire to find a true home—this was what the majority of the Mist Tribe members had always insisted on. The other voice... was the desire to completely transform the entire race, allowing the Mist Tribe to achieve 'ultimate advancement' and become a new and powerful species."

"Racial advancement? What an arrogant idea!" Sen shouted angrily, "This is a realm only gods can tread!"

"You're right." Lin Wang nodded. "But within the Mist Tribe at the time, this was actually a very mainstream voice: the entire Mist Tribe was cursed, and they couldn't find any land suitable for survival..."

Gu Shuochuan said in a deep voice, "So, the idea of ​​the entire clan being promoted became a very mainstream view among the Mist Clan at that time. There was even a radical view that the Mist Clan's transformation into mist was a symbol of promotion."

Lin Wang continued, "What happened next is very clear—a group of Mist Tribe researchers established a research facility beneath the temple outside Qilou City, where they began studying methods for the 'ultimate advancement.'"

He took a deep breath and said, "I have to say that the Mist Tribe's research, whether from the starting point, the method, or the result, can actually be considered successful."

Gu Shuochuan frowned: "Then why did my people become such a monster?"

"Because your people... chose the wrong person to pray to."

"Pray? Are you saying that my ancestors prayed to some evil god?"

"No." Lin Wang shook his head. "In the memory of that giant flesh and blood monster, they were indeed praying to the righteous gods."

"But the problem is, the righteous gods they pray to..."

"It's three."
