Chapter 300: My death for my lover's new life! A merciless exile from the abyss.
In the ideal state, a fierce battle is also unfolding.
Ji Mingyu ran back breathlessly and first sent a message to Wang Tianyuan, telling him to stay at the command post and bring Xiao Yun back to the guild as soon as he returned.
Then, he rushed into the research institute and headed straight for Professor Kong's laboratory.
As soon as he stepped into the corridor, he sensed an eerie aura from a distance.
Kong Lao's research room emitted an eerie purplish-red light, and strangely twisted flesh enveloped the laboratory, making the entire laboratory look like a bizarre fleshy creation.
Inside the laboratory, chaotic and frantic chatter echoed, like the whispers of a madman or the roars of the dead.
Even Ji Mingyu felt his head spin after hearing these words.
"Damn it!"
Ji Mingyu shook his groggy head, and the black sun appeared behind him in an instant.
The corona transformed into tentacles, firmly fixing Gu Shen, who was standing at the laboratory entrance, in place.
He wanted to kill this bastard right now, but Gu Shen's ability was too strange; he could even create clones, so he didn't act immediately.
Moreover, the current anomalies in the laboratory are the most important thing.
Through the blood-soaked glass, Ji Mingyu could see Old Kong inside, who had almost turned into a bloody octopus.
Kong Lao's face was filled with joy and madness. He used countless tentacles dipped in blood to draw runes throughout the laboratory, while muttering something under his breath.
A cold glint flashed in Ji Mingyu's eyes. Without delay, Black Sun tore through the flesh and blood on the laboratory door and broke in.
"Master, I'm sorry, I can't—"
His tone was urgent, but his actions were ruthless.
An invisible spike burst forth, piercing through Master Kong's body.
Kong Lao's twisted flesh and blood body roared, but Kong Lao himself did not change his expression, and even showed a look of relief.
"It's alright, child."
Old Master Kong smiled faintly, looking at the slowly opening flesh-and-blood portal on the ceiling.
"Because I have already finished."
Ji Mingyu's pupils dilated in shock, and at that moment, the flesh-and-blood portal opened completely.
Beyond the portal lay nothingness, faintly flowing with dreamlike, dazzling colors.
However, Ji Mingyu sensed the chaos within it.
"That is—the unformed spirit world!"
Ji Mingyu's pupils contracted sharply, and he instantly understood what Elder Kong was about to do.
"Grandmaster! No! You can't find Master's wife's soul in the chaotic spirit world! You'll only attract chaotic aggregates of souls!"
Master Kong frowned in displeasure and said coldly, "No, no, this is a secret manual that Little Gu stole from the Land of No Worries! And I studied it myself, how could it be wrong!"
Ji Mingyu's lips twitched slightly, cursing inwardly, "Damn it! It was that kid who gave it to me, and it's definitely not good stuff!"
On the other side, Old Kong shouted a couple of times, then lowered his head and carefully picked up a well-wrapped box from the flesh and blood.
He raised his hand with trembling hands and carefully picked up a simple ring from among them.
"This is what I gave her when I proposed to her. I was very poor at the time, so I could only steal some scrap metal from the laboratory every day and ask someone to make these rings."
When she saw it, she said it was hideous and ruined the romantic atmosphere.
"But she still stayed until now, even losing the gold ring I gave her after we got married."
Old Master Kong's face was full of reminiscence, his eyes glistened with tears, and a smile played on his lips.
At that moment, he seemed to have returned to that vibrant era, becoming that penniless yet confident and spirited young man.
Back then, he wasn't bald and was still a handsome young man.
But compared to the gentle and refined young lady in front of her, she still seemed somewhat naive.
But this did not stop their love.
Ji Mingyu's body trembled slightly, his rational mind frantically telling him to stop what was about to happen.
But for some reason, he couldn't move his body forward even a single step.
The tentacles lifted Kong Lao's body and brought him to the portal of flesh and blood.
Just like that year, he knelt on one knee, head held high, and shakily raised the ugly yet unique ring.
"Cheng, are you willing—"
Just like last time, before he could finish speaking, a gentle female voice responded to him.
"Of course I would, you idiot."
A graceful and gentle figure slowly descended, and when Professor Cheng's familiar face appeared, Old Kong was stunned.
Then, just like before, he broke down in tears.
Ji Mingyu was also stunned, staring at the scene in disbelief: "How is this possible? It really succeeded?"
He turned around abruptly, looked at Gu Shen, and scrutinized him with his eyes.
Gu Shen smiled helplessly and said, "I may be a bad person, but I'm not a beast."
"Don't worry, although the ritual I'm giving you looks a bit evil and the price is a little bit higher, it's definitely effective."
But after hearing his words, Ji Mingyu's eyelids began to twitch wildly, and he felt even more uneasy.
In particular, when he thought of the "slightly higher price" that Gu Shen mentioned, a great sense of crisis rose in his heart.
And now, the ceremony has reached its final stage.
With a satisfied smile on his face, Confucius sighed softly, "Resurrection is both a blessing and a price to pay."
He raised his hand and gently touched his lover's illusory face: "I'm leaving now. You—live a wonderful life."
"Next time, be more careful and don't pick a bald guy; he looks awful."
A look of fear flashed in Professor Cheng's eyes. He opened his arms, trying to grab him, but the illusory arms passed right through Professor Kong's body.
At the same time, the entire laboratory began to shake.
All flesh and blood melted away like ice and snow, slowly transforming into a flawless human body in the center of the laboratory under the drive of the runes.
That was Confucius's final masterpiece, the pinnacle of flesh-and-blood alchemy.
Yes, it's a newborn gift for my loved one.
The price was that all the organisms that had been in this laboratory, including Confucius himself, were transformed into nutrients for this new body.
Kong Lao's body gradually dissolved, while Professor Cheng's soul slowly merged into the new body.
Finally, Old Master Kong turned his remaining head to look at Ji Mingyu: "Little Ji, this time—I was willful. Please apologize to Xiao Yun for me."
"Also, I've put all the experimental data and results into the guild database, but I haven't had time to organize them. Could you please organize them for me and give them to Xiao Yun?"
He talked on and on, and at that moment, he turned back into that rambling old man.
But this time, Ji Mingyu had no patience to listen to him and coldly interrupted him: "Go and say these things to Xiao Yun yourself."
Old Master Kong was taken aback, but then he saw Ji Mingyu raise his head, his eyes now completely black.
Behind him, the twisted black sun writhed, splitting open a bottomless chasm in the middle.
Chaos erupted from within, draping Ji Mingyu in magnificent robes.
As the abyss deepened, Ji Mingyu's expression turned utterly cold, reason prevailing over emotion.
He had promised Xiao Yun that he would take good care of Ideal Country.
Even if it means he has to bear the infamy.
"Abyss, banishment!"
The crack suddenly widened, engulfing the newly born Professor Cheng.
Master Kong's pupils constricted sharply, and he let out a furious roar.
Behind them, Gu Shen watched this scene quietly, without stopping them, only smiling faintly.
"As expected, you still made this choice—"
