Fang Ning decided to meet Black Robe and Zhi Nan since he had a few things to do at the same time.
In the next second, Sir System helped him teleport to the living room of Black Robe's villa …
"Oh, Venerable One, you came without notice. Is there something important?" Black Robe, who was making tea for his master, asked in surprise.
"Oh, it's like this. Many people value the all-purpose bacteria. It seems like it will be of great use in the future. Are there any hidden dangers?"
Monk Zhi Nan put his palms together and sighed. "If it were someone else, I wouldn't tell them. If it's you, Venerable One, you can tell me directly. However, Venerable One must swear not to let a third person hear. "
"I'll swear on it," Fang Ning said naturally.
"Hey, I can hear you." Sir System reminded him.
"You're not human." Fang Ning's words drove Sir System to the corner and drew circles …
Fang Ning immediately swore an oath.
"It's like this. The all-purpose bacteria has many functions. It can benefit the common people. It's actually a type of bacteria that can devour all living beings. However, its devouring mechanism has been completely sealed by me. As long as outsiders don't know about it, no one can break it. I don't tell outsiders because I'm afraid of triggering the ambitions of some evil followers. "Zhi Nan said slowly.
"I see." Fang Ning thought, 'That's right. It's like the mass-energy conversion equation. On one hand, it can completely solve humanity's energy problem. On the other hand, it can completely destroy humanity's living environment.'
However, human history did not completely abolish its use because of the latter's threat. They only used various mechanisms to control its harm and use it peacefully as much as possible.
It was the same for the all-purpose bacteria. Although it was a great threat, it could be tolerated in the face of its many benefits.
Fang Ning understood that even if he told Ren Ruofeng about this flaw, he would not hesitate to use it.
Ren Ruofeng had been pushing ahead with the population increase plan. He knew this very well. After all, the core of the population plan, the River of Blood, was only realized after he personally participated in it.
With an increase in population, food, clothing, and housing had to keep up. The pressure on the entire ecosystem would increase exponentially. With the current ecological capacity of the Earth, it was impossible for it to support too many people.
Not to mention a small arcane realm.
However, this bacterium could solve this problem.
After that, Fang Ning pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "I went to Morality City just now, and the yellow dog there asked about Red's Cloud Computing Center. Where did Black Robe move it to?"
Monk Zhi Nan turned to look at Black Robe.
Black Robe was stunned when he heard this. He felt a pain in his head and subconsciously hugged his head. "I, I can't remember. It seems to be placed in a very important place."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the two vortexes appear in Monk Zhi Nan's eyes again. They were pitch-black and extremely strange.
"Forget it, I won't force you." Fang Ning naturally noticed this. His conjecture had been verified, so he bade farewell and said, "When you remember, let me know. I'll take my leave first."
"Take care, Venerable One." Monk Zhi Nan put his palms together.
…
On the way home, Fang Ning said to Sir System, "If I'm not wrong, Monk Zhi Nan will eventually return to his original state. Sooner or later, he'll become a devil again. Looks like they've already made preparations. All they're missing is an opportunity to trigger it. "
"Then what should we do?" Sir System said gloomily. "It wasn't easy for them to settle down. We can't let them have the time to mess around."
"Forget it. If you go and destroy them, they'll transform at any moment …" Fang Ning said helplessly. "Let me think of a way. It's best to delay them. Sigh, no wonder people always say that the prodigal son is more valuable than gold. It's easy to become a devil but hard to wake up. "
"Hmm, that's your style …" Sir System said as if it was normal.
"Hmm, I have an idea." Fang Ning suddenly had an idea. "Don't they want to enlighten all living beings? In a few days, let them bring the all-purpose bacteria they've researched and go to that empty planet to develop the biosphere and pave the way for all living beings. There's no one there, so there won't be any conflicts and there won't be any human scourges. This way, we can prevent the demonic thoughts from recovering. "
"Mr. Rich Boss, you're really smart … You're so good at tricking people," Sir System said faintly. "No wonder I always fell for your tricks."
"Thank you for the compliment." Fang Ning did not care about Sir System's mood.
After the discussion, Fang Ning put these matters aside and waited for the completion of the all-purpose bacteria's testing.
…
However, after half a month, there was still no news of the completion of the all-purpose bacteria's testing.
It was already the end of April in the fourth year of Shenyuan. Spring was warm and flowers were blooming. The city and the countryside were green and full of vitality.
However, under the vitality, there was a revival of ghosts and strange occurrences.
In the news and forums, all kinds of strange stories were no longer news. It seemed to be more frequent than the car accidents that happened every day.
"Sir System, I realized that your demon-slaying business seems to be a little too busy. You used to complain all day long that there weren't any monsters to fight, but now you probably can't finish all of them." Fang Ning suddenly said one day.
"What can I do? I'm helpless too … "Sir System muttered. A sword energy descended from the sky and purified a zombie that had just crawled out of a dirty alley.
Its tattered clothes and dirty hair showed that it was the most common vagrant when it was alive.
It might have starved to death, died of illness, or froze to death. In any case, its hatred for the living made it crawl again.
"That's true. Even if you can teleport, it still takes time to solve the problem. During this time, strange things will happen in other places. No wonder I feel that your reputation has dropped. I'm afraid there are many people complaining about you behind your back." Fang Ning sympathized.
"That can't be helped. The concentration of vitality is increasing day by day, and the Mysterious Maxim is strengthening. Some living beings with potential may only have a one in ten thousand chance of becoming a spirit and causing trouble, but now it can increase to one in a hundred. Most importantly, they're just small fries. If we kill them, we'll gain hundreds of experience points. If we don't kill them, they can really kill people. It's not a problem for them to bring disaster to a small village. We have to deal with them when we see them." Sir System sighed.
"Wait, I'll ask Anderson." Fang Ning still had some conscience. He immediately went to the Draconic Penitentiary.
Upon hearing this, Anderson immediately explained, "Sir, this is actually a necessary stage for natural evolution."
"Tell me in detail." Fang Ning urged.
Anderson continued, "The resentment and hatred left behind by people who died unexpectedly will evolve into a source of strange things.
"In the past, the Mysterious Maxim wasn't strong. People who died were dead. No matter how wronged or how tragic their death was, it was not enough to cause mutation and affect the living.
"It's different now. Those who died unnaturally, those who were unwilling to die, and those who were not in a good mood will become the nourishment of evil energy. Humans are fragile creatures. Even those old people who died of natural causes, most of them are unwilling to leave this world willingly and are full of obsession. After the Mysterious Maxim strengthened, these obsessions began to transform into strange forces and counteract the real world. "
After listening to this, Fang Ning finally understood why Sir System was getting busier …
Statistics showed that the number of deaths in the world every year was more than 50 million. With so many deaths, one could imagine how big of a source of resentment it was.
There weren't enough cultivators on Earth to purify them at the moment.
"No wonder Oldman Ren urgently needs the all-purpose bacteria. It looks like he wants to move all the people in China into the arcane realm. Over there, the dead can be managed and purified together. It'll be much more convenient." Fang Ning said to Sir System.
"That's true. Slowly, only cultivators will be able to live in the outside world." Sir System affirmed.
"Now that I look at it, even though those gods are high and mighty and make people uncomfortable, they're right. Mortals really don't have the right to live on Earth …" Fang Ning said helplessly as he recalled the contract between humans and gods that he had made before.
"Yes, cultivators have the ability to resist strange events. They can even gain a lot of benefits from it. They can kill to nourish themselves. Although they can't compare to me, they can at least obtain cultivation materials from killing monsters, and they can still earn some money. However, ordinary people don't get any benefits. They're lucky not to be scared to death. "Sir System agreed.
