He didn't waste any time. He first put on his hooded windbreaker that was soaked in blood, then found the entrance and violently opened it, then rushed in with a knife in one hand and a gun in the other.

Chapter 4000 Flame Demon Fragment ()

Luo Chen strode into the corridor of the research institute.

The security level of this research institute was obviously higher than any he had been to before. As soon as Luo Chen came in, the surrounding red lights immediately began flashing to sound the alarm.

There were also dense footsteps coming from the distance.

Soon, a group of fully armed security personnel appeared in front of Luo Chen.

"Stop!"

they said,

"No matter who you are. This is a private area, no trespassing. Otherwise, according to the law we can..."

"boom!"

Luo Chen shot him to death, then rushed forward with a knife in hand without saying a word.

After a bloody storm, there was no one left standing in front of him.

"What a bunch of trash..." Luo Chen thought to himself.

He walked in the corridor, intending to move forward and wipe out the enemy completely, but he did not expect a heavy iron door to appear in front of him.

Obviously, after the opponent realized that he could not beat Luo Chen, he chose to temporarily avoid the attack.

But how could this possibly stop Luo Chen?

Flames burst out of his hands and he thrust straight in.

“Puff, puff—”

The steel melted like pudding when it came into contact with a hot knife and fell to the ground.

Luo Chen crawled through the hole and continued to move forward.

................

"Look at this!"

In the core office of the institute, a group of researchers were about to evacuate urgently, but one of them suddenly screamed and shouted.

"If we don't leave now...it will be too late." Another researcher said impatiently, "What's wrong?"

These researchers belonged to Hyde, a newly established pharmaceutical company. But they all knew that the company's investor behind the scenes was Rhine Life, which had been established for less than five years.

As a new Rhine life, there are still many people in Colombia who hate it.

After all, for capitalists, seizing the market and plundering profits is even more painful than killing their own mothers.

Therefore, no matter who invades the institute, these researchers must run away quickly.

Otherwise, you will either die or be captured and made into a "slave", working like a slave in a laboratory for the rest of your life.

The researcher who was shouting ignored his colleague's words and focused on the images on the monitor.

"Yes... This level of melting... is absolutely no problem."

His words attracted a lot of attention, and many people wondered why he was yelling at a photo.

Seeing this, the researcher replayed what he had just photographed.

This time, everyone was silent.

"Is this our...target?" someone asked in a low voice.

"It's definitely him. No one else in Columbia can melt open a door so easily." Someone said with certainty.

"Come to think of it... our team sent a message earlier saying that they had captured someone... what happened?"

"I guess. He might be pretending to fail, but in fact he deliberately let those people escort him to our research institute." Someone speculated, "I saw this man in his fight with the Beach Umbrella Company - he is a cruel, vicious, and vindictive person."

"Just like a balrog," someone added.

“…”Everyone was silent.

These characteristics really seem like the extinct races mentioned in ancient books.

"We're not leaving." An old man with few hairs on his head said in a deep voice.

He is the principal investigator of the institute and the leader of this project.

"The experimental subject is right here. I must take a look at him...at least to verify my hypothesis!"

"Teacher...this guy is not an ordinary person." Someone whispered.

"Let's not talk about whether he is a fire demon or not. Just look at his cold-blooded killing behavior... If he encounters us, I'm afraid..."

"Yes, there are still some security personnel left in the institute. But... I'm afraid they are no match for him."

"Haha... a bunch of useless people with no scientific spirit!" The chief researcher snorted coldly, "We are not completely unsure. The previous experimental subjects can still be used."

"Experimental subject?"

The researchers looked at each other.

Ever since they obtained the fragments of the Fire Demon, they have been committed to studying this terrifying power.

They initially used at least over thirty experimenters, but most of them were burned to charcoal as soon as they came into contact with the fragments of the Fire Demon.

Faced with this situation, on the one hand, they screened experimental subjects that might be suitable for the Fire Demon Fragment, and on the other hand, they began to control the energy of the Fire Demon Fragment.

Since touching the fragments of the Fire Demon will cause ordinary people to be burned to death, what if we control the release level of the fragments of the Fire Demon so that it is in a special balance?

After this conjecture came up, researchers began to work on realizing it.

They used a special frame to contain the Balrog fragments, thus controlling its release.

The subjects who come into contact with it will not die immediately, but new problems will arise.

Perhaps the owner of these fragments did not die so peacefully, and the fragments are also filled with manic and angry thoughts.

The will and thoughts of the experimenters who have come into contact with the weakening fragments will be completely wiped out in a short period of time. At the same time, their bodies will develop some different organs and master strong fire source stone skills.

The experimenters in this state basically only have killing and causing destruction in their minds.

Even if the Flame Demon fragments were removed, the subject would not wake up, but would faint and become a complete vegetable.

Their research got stuck at this step.

If we want to go further, perhaps we can only find a more suitable experimental subject who can resist the erosion of the Fire Demon fragments.

Now...the goal they have always dreamed of is right before their eyes.

"We need to urgently create a test subject that has been fused with the Balrog fragments," said the chief researcher, "and place it in the corridor."

"How clever!" A researcher quickly understood his plan.

The Flame Demon experiment had no brains and only thought about killing people. If it ran into Luo Chen, a fight would probably break out immediately.

If Luo Chen wins, they can use the experimental subjects to delay time and collect more experimental data.

If the experimental subject wins, they can get Luo Chen's body and speed up the experimental process.

Compared to Luo Chen, although the Flame Demon experiment subject looks scary, it has no brain and is very easy to control.

Therefore, this plan can be said to be the best of both worlds.

The researchers immediately took action, starting to separate the fragments of the Flame Demon and create experimental subjects.

.......

Luo Chen frowned slightly as he walked in the corridor.

The current situation is a bit strange. I have been walking for so long, but I haven't met anyone. The corridor keeps extending, and there are iron doors blocking the way from time to time.

"How about using [Soul Separation] to determine the opponent's position?" Luo Chen thought.

But the next second, he felt something move in his heart.

In combat situations, Luo Chen's "momentum" is always released.

Now, he felt a very strange force coming towards him.

..........

"Clap!"

A strange sound suddenly came from the ventilation duct on Luo Chen's right hand side, and then a corpse slid out.

The body lay motionless on the ground, seemingly dead, but not completely dead.

If I have to describe it...it looks like the body was just pushed into the crematorium and then dragged out after being burned for a while.

While Luo Chen was observing, a string of flames appeared on the corpse.

Its skin quickly cracked, replaced by layers of dense scales, and even two small bulges appeared on its forehead.

Luo Chen could clearly sense the power in him...

It was unlike any other he had ever experienced.

To be honest, Luo Chen has seen quite a few "powers". He has tasted two of the inner guards alone. This time in Colombia, he didn't see many "powers". The one that impressed him the most was Jeston's.

Although Jeston is a bit of a clown, his style still has some universal characteristics.

For example, his "momentum" at that time was directed towards Luo Chen, and his target was very clear.

But the one in front of me...

Its momentum is complex, changeable, and its goals are erratic.

It was like a heavy rage that he didn't know where to vent. Although the momentum felt strong, there was a hint of sadness and confusion in it.

"Gu! Huh——" The corpse moved, and then actually crawled up.

His eyes opened, scarlet eyes with an orange-yellow vertical pupil in the middle, and they locked onto Luo Chen almost instantly.

"Sa——"

Without any words, the attack began immediately!

Luo Chen raised his hand to block the opponent's claws, which had become mutated and hardened, and then kicked directly into the opponent's stomach.

"Boom!"

The blow was so powerful that the opponent was kicked away instantly.

"That's it?" Luo Chen shook his head slightly. He was very sure that the kick just now had completely shattered the opponent's lumbar vertebrae.

Luo Chen's attacks had long been accustomed to being fully coordinated with the "momentum".

In other words, Luo Chen's combat not only crushes the opponent in physical tactics, but also suppresses the opponent in momentum.

In the previous battle, the opponent had completely fallen below. Now, even if it was not dead, it would be paralyzed.

but.....

"You can still get up like this?" Luo Chen looked at the corpse in the distance, and the other party actually struggled to stand up.

The flames enveloped the wounds caused by Luo Chen, and the momentum became more aggressive.

It seemed dissatisfied with Luo Chen's suppression.

In other words...it doesn't want anyone to overpower it.

Luo Chen suddenly had a feeling...this corpse was like some kind of cage that imprisoned power, and he had just opened a corner of this cage.

The changes on this corpse...are even more thorough.

Two giant horns extended out, and flames gushed out from his facial features and every crevice on his body.

...........

"Our restraints are broken!" the researcher yelled.

The limiting device is the device they use to control the energy of the Fire Demon fragments.

It stands to reason that if there were no such restraining device, a normal person would be burned into a pile of charcoal in a short time after coming into contact with the fragments of the Fire Demon.

But now... ah... the situation is different!

Not only did the experimental subject not die, but it also underwent mutations that had never occurred before!
