The surveillance system was focused on a group of white mice.
Each of the hundred mice was placed in a separate lab rat cage and placed neatly on the rack of the rat cage. Their shrill squeaks echoed throughout the lab, as if they were coming from a dark abyss.
These were all white mice that had visited the enlightenment website.
It was already the 15th day. The researchers from the Spell Department continued to observe them. From the third day onwards, the amount of food they ate changed significantly. They all became bigger, and their weight also increased every day. They became more active, manic, and violent. Some of the mice would even bite the cage from time to time.
This was faintly ominous. The influence of the enlightenment website on the visitors was not only on the spiritual level. Perhaps it was directly caused, or perhaps it was caused by the spiritual changes — the visitors were indeed experiencing physiological changes.
At least that was the case for the white mice. These white mice were mutating, they were clearly mutating.
However, what made the researchers calm down for the time being was that they did not show any abnormal mutations.
They ate a lot, their body weight increased and their mental state appeared to have gone insane. These were all conditions that they could understand with their scientific understanding, at least for now.
…
Zhou Haorui, 20 years old, male, from De Rao City, a 2nd year chemistry student at Da Hwa Institute of Technology. His academic results were above average, he had a peaceful personality and a good family background. His parents were normal workers. Zhou Haorui had no criminal record and was not punished by the school. He once applied for Phecda University but was disqualified due to insufficient mental power.
Yang Xinxin, 24 years old, female, from Da Hwa Normal University. Her parents were divorced. Her father ran a property management company and her mother ran a beauty salon. Yang Xinxin had been living on her own for a long time. She was currently unemployed and a member of the society. According to her records, she had tried to start up an online store and a make-up livestream but they all ended in failure. She had 16 credit cards under her name but she had a good credit record and no criminal record.
When the two of them entered the Spell Department base, it was confirmed that they were part of the Crows Colony. Their information was pulled out and shared with many people.
They were just a normal university student, a loafer in society.
If it was the Phecda of the past, even if he wanted to establish a partnership with them, he would not let them have the final say. Some of their conditions were simply unreasonable.
However, Tong Ye, who had rushed back from the headquarters, also called Dr. Shen, Yao Sinian, and several other new senior executives to receive the two young people with a very high standard.
"Don't worry, the prize money will definitely be a big number."
Inside the brightly lit room of the Spell Department, Tong Ye met with the two crow worshippers. He generously agreed to the terms of money. "Your contribution is not something that can be measured by money. It is only reasonable that you have a better life in times of peace. Phecda will not only give you a bonus, but you will also be rewarded in all aspects. "
To Phecda, money was really just a number. On the contrary, if the world collapsed, money would lose its meaning.
Yang Xinxin slammed the table in ecstasy. He told Zhou Haorui, "Then I have no objections."
Unlike Yang Xinxin, who came from a wealthy family, Zhou Haorui used to be nervous when he greeted his teachers. But after experiencing the horrendous situations, the number of times he had walked the line between life and death was uncountable. Facing these 'big shots' from Phecda, he was no different.
Besides, they were carrying the mission given to them by the crows …
"Director Huang," Zhou Haorui repeated his request to Wang Ruoxiang and Chen Jiahwa, "We can share information and not do anything hostile. But the Crows Colony is an independent existence. We have our own standards of judgement. Once we feel that Phecda no longer meets our standards, we will stop working together."
"The Crows Colony can exist independently as long as you don't do anything bad." Tong Ye's old face was serious. "As for what is bad, we have to have the same standards."
"What is the purpose of doing bad things? Basically, it's for money. "Yang Xinxin shrugged." You've already given us enough money, why would you do anything bad? "
Zhou Haorui ignored her, turning to Tong Ye and the rest. "Director Huang, we agree to your request. We need to have a common understanding when we are working together. We don't want to create trouble for each other. But when we're not working together … your words won't be any different. "
Tong Ye knew what he meant. The crows had mentioned that once he became like the higher-ups, the crows would come to kill him …
"No problem." Elder Tong nodded seriously, agreeing with this general direction. "I, Elder Tong, have come to power to bring about change. I don't play around with the bureaucracy, we can be friends with anyone who can deal with the forces of darkness. We've risked our lives not to become Emperors, but for the sake of peace in this world. As long as we have a common goal, everything else is a small issue. "
"Alright then." Zhou Haorui scanned them. "We won't reveal the identity of the Crows Colony for now. Also, could Phecda stop the search?"
"That's fine too." Tong Ye said, "But I suggest you reconsider. We have more people and resources, you can leave the protection of your family to us. If you're worried and think it's a threat, we won't force you. You can do it whenever you feel like it's okay. "
While Zhou Haorui was deep in thought, Prof Shen asked, "May I ask how many crows there are now?"
"About 20." Yang Xinxin answered directly. "Not many, but we have more than 20 people. We can do many things that you can't."
"Do you know how many crows are there?" Yao Sinian asked. "Do you have a summoning plan? We want to help the crows return to this world. "
"We don't know much, the crows never tell us much." Zhou Haorui replied, his aura turning heavier. "We know it's sealed … but we have a way to summon it to obtain power. We know what we need to offer."
Everyone from Phecda perked up. Chen Jiahwa couldn't help but ask, "What is it?"
"Crows hate sickness," Zhou Haorui said. "They want health."
Before they could ask further, Wang Ruoxiang frowned as she heard something from her earpiece. She walked to Tong Ye and said softly, "Tong Ye, something's wrong with the lab mice."
This situation was expected, so even though Tong Ye, Yao Sinian, and the rest's expressions changed, they weren't surprised. The storm that had been brewing for a long time had finally arrived.
Zhou Haorui and Yang Xinjin were confused. Tong Ye asked Wang Ruoxiang to speak directly.
"They've mutated." Wang Ruoxiang said in a low voice. "The lab said there are many different mutations."
