Inside the dream wasteland, there was a black mist zone thousands of kilometers away from Foundation City.
The so-called "black mist zone" was actually a breeding ground for sinful demons.
There was a pure white metal building nearby. The building was spherical, and there were no windows at all. There were only magic patterns on the walls that represented absolute defense to resist the invasion of the black fog.
There was a spaceport on the upper floor of the building, where several steam-shaped airships were docked. Just like the building, these airships also had no windows.
When Angor arrived at the dream wasteland from the real world, he saw one of the airships flying toward Foundation City.
He walked to the spherical structure and opened up a path on its smooth surface.
The interior of the building was bright and spacious. The walls were made of silver metal and transparent glass. Two minutes later, Angor stopped in front of a door.
He opened the door and heard Freud's voice.
"We've finished recording Sinful Demon No.7's information. Thank you for your hard work, but we're not done yet. We still need to analyze Sinful Demon No.7's abilities. Now, we'll transfer Sinful Demon No.7 to the simulated battlefield and let Torras do the test.
Where's Torras? "
However, no one answered.
After a long while, someone said, "Lord Thyssen, Constable Torras said that the research lab was a little boring and wanted to go out to relax, so he left. I think he went to the upper floor. We don't have permission to go there, so we don't know where he is. "
"The upper floor? Torras, you bastard … "Freud cursed." Wait here. I'll go find him. "
But before he could leave, a voice interrupted him. "You don't need to look for Torras. He's already returned to Foundation City on an airship."
With a click, the door of the lab was closed. He looked back and saw Angor coming in through the door.
"You're back, mister!" Freud greeted Angor happily.
Angor nodded at him and looked at the other people in the room.
Apart from Freud, there were seven other people in the room. All of them were wearing white uniforms. Some were holding measuring tools, some were operating instruments, and some were busy writing.
They were all researchers of the Evil Demon Laboratory.
The Evil Demon Laboratory was the spherical building they were currently in. It was built specifically for the sake of studying the Sinful Fiend.
Originally, only he and Freud were here to do research. However, things like recording information, creating relevant files, analyzing skills, simulating battles, and so on were too complicated. Before they could bring their abilities into the real world, they could only do it manually, which made the recording speed very slow. In order to increase efficiency, Freud hired a group of researchers from Foundation City.
With their help, the recording speed increased by several times.
Life here was actually very monotonous, but for these researchers who could endure loneliness, it was very suitable. Moreover, their research was to protect the citizens of First Heart City. They were willing to stay here for the sake of the greater good.
"Since Torras is gone, I'll take his place for the next battle simulation test. Krelles, give me the information on Sin Demon No. 7. "
Krelles, a young researcher wearing a pair of glasses, presented a stack of files to Angor.
When he left the lab last time, he was still working on Sin Demon No. 5. Now, it only took him two days to get to Sin Demon No. 7, which was quite fast.
He opened the folder and saw a sketch of a Sinful Fiend.
Angor had met Krelles several times during his research, so he knew about the man's style. Krelles wasn't good at drawing, but he was very good at capturing the characteristics of the Sinful Fiends.
"It looks like a sea anemone with a chrysanthemum face?" Angor muttered. "That's cute."
Everyone trembled a little when they heard that. They couldn't help but think about how cute Sinful Fiend No. 7 looked.
"Have you decided on a name for Sinful Fiend No. 7 yet?" Angor asked while reading the files.
"It's just a number for now."
"Sir, we haven't decided on a name yet, but I don't think we should be too hasty."
Angor gave Freud a doubtful look. "You're saying I'm too hasty?"
Freud chuckled. He didn't say it out loud, but he knew what he meant. Angor's naming skills were sometimes good and sometimes bad, and he was always full of confidence. Instead of betting on whether Angor's next name was good or bad, it was better for everyone to discuss and come up with a name that everyone agreed upon.
Angor curled his lips. "You don't know how to appreciate a good name."
He put the file aside and said, "Alright, I'm done. Time to check out this Sinful Fiend's battle simulation. "
Inside a glass room covered in black mist, Angor looked at Sin Fiend No. 7.
At first glance, Sinful Fiend No. 7 looked like a giant, oval-shaped meat plate. Its body was covered with tentacles that were enough to make people with trypophobia scream. These tentacles were still swaying in the wind. There was also a huge mouth on its body. Angor mistook the "mouth" written by Freud for a "chrysanthemum" face. There was nothing on its face, but when it opened its mouth, Angor could see countless sharp teeth growing out of its mouth. The teeth grew denser and denser as they went deeper into the mouth.
"I take back what I said. It's not cute at all," Angor muttered in a low voice. Not only that, its appearance alone was enough to hurt people's souls.
Angor couldn't imagine what would happen to a person if the Sinful Fiend was released.
Sinful Fiend No. 7 looked disgusting, but it was also strong. However, no matter how strong it was, it couldn't break through Angor's green shield. Angor walked around the monster as if he was taking a stroll.
A moment later, Angor exited the simulation.
"What do you think?" Angor looked at Freud.
"I recorded the whole process with a Shadow Stone." Freud paused. "This Sinful Fiend No. 7 didn't move at all. It only used its tentacles to fight. It looks like a defensive tactic. Maybe it's suitable for Knight Saber. "
"Suitable for Knight Saber?" Angor chuckled. "I don't know if that's unfortunate or congratulatory."
Freud chuckled. "I don't think Knight Saber cares about his appearance. Besides, he's not a human when he's not released."
Freud paused for a moment. "Anyway, if it's suitable for Knight Saber, we can finally record the changes of the Sinful Fiend's body."
They didn't have a single Demon Hunter yet.
Once they did, they would be able to do more research on the Sinful Fiend No. 7.
Besides, with the help of the Demon Hunters, Angor and Torras wouldn't need to participate in the simulated battles. They could simply let the Demon Hunters handle the battle himself.
"How's Rabu's test going?" Angor suddenly asked.
To create a Demon Hunter, they needed someone to inherit the authority of the Sinful Mist to suppress the Sinful Fiends. Rabu was the best candidate for that right now.
"So far, he's qualified for the test. Now it's up to his willpower. I'm going to take him to the Sinful Fiend's lab and let him get close to the Sinful Fiend. "
"Good idea. But remember, before you give him the authority, try to keep the truth of what happened outside the city a secret."
Freud nodded. "I'll do it the same way as the other researchers."
The researchers of Sinful Fiend's lab all came here by airship. Since the airships didn't have windows, they couldn't see what was going on outside. They might be thousands of kilometers away from the city, but they still didn't know what was going on outside.
"By the way, I have some designs for the new city. Would you like to take a look, my lord?" Freud suddenly asked after they were done talking about the Sinful Demons.
