In addition to Jeno, there are more than 200 people who are selected as contractors by Zhizhu sent by Jiang Yan, but only more than 100 people are still surviving, and the rest are all dead.

Some of the causes of death are force majeure. For example, in a struggle like Jeno, who is in a life-and-death underground arena, he has just obtained the key to the extraordinary power given by Jiang Yan before he could strengthen his strength.

Died under external factors.

Most of the contractors who died for this reason were judged by the intelligence brain to have insufficient potential. Although they were selected by the intelligence brain, they basically adopted the "free-range" cultivation method, and at most they only had 0.

The level intelligent brain silently conducts surveillance and records, and does not send a level 1 intelligent brain to guide it like Geno.

After all, among Jiang Yan's subordinates in this world, there are many level 0 intelligent brains, but the number of level 1 intelligent brains is still limited. If all of them are sent to serve as mentors for those contractors, some people are still short of staff.

Jiang Yan has developed a data-based intelligent brain-type sub-machine that is currently developed in this world. Level 0 intelligent brain is actually transformed by those wild animals with low intelligence, so the number is the largest, but this level of

Although the intelligence brain has improved its IQ after Jiang Yan’s transformation, their abilities are very limited due to their original soul strength.

The level 1 intelligent brain is transformed from the human soul. Based on the human intelligence level and soul level that is far higher than other wild beasts, the ability of the level 1 intelligent brain transformed in this way is obviously more powerful than that of the level 0 intelligence

The brain is much stronger, and the strength of software skills such as computing power and divine secret techniques is far beyond that of level 0 intelligent brain.

So, where did Jiang Yan get the level 1 intelligent brain now? The answer is obvious, it is transformed from the souls left by those dead contractors.

Therefore, the reason why Jiang Yan didn't feel too sorry for those contractors who had insufficient potential to die halfway through were obvious. For him, even if the human slaves who made the contract died, as long as their souls were not destroyed.

, then it is still useful.

The soul of the sub-machine after being transformed by Jiang Yan's superpower can directly abandon the original body and stay in the sub-machine network, and then use the network link to possess the sub-machine body within the scope of Jiang Yan's permission.

, to some extent, it can be regarded as continuing to survive in another form.

The legendary "ghost immortals, lichs" and others are also similar creatures that abandon their bodies and only have their souls.

Of course, after being transformed into a data-based soul, the original seven emotions and six desires of the intelligent brain will basically lose and will no longer have the potential to advance independently, and the thinking mode will become more cruel and rational. Such side effects will most likely not be caused by normal people.

I just like it.

Jiang Yan can understand those contractors who died because of force majeure, but in addition, he also found that many contractors died by themselves.

Many of these contractors who were dying were originally civilians or slaves from the bottom of society. They entered the extraordinary circle after being selected by the intelligent brain by Jiang Yan, and their strength became stronger.

, but their mentality did not change.

The contractor with slave status wanted to escape with his new power, and then was suppressed by the stronger thugs under the slave owner.

The contractor who is a poor person uses force overestimating his power to obtain wealth through criminal means, but was suppressed by the official guards.

Even contractors who are civilians use their new power for their respective purposes, and then are targeted by people with ulterior motives because they do not know how to restrain themselves, and their final outcome will not be much better.

These contractors who committed suicide either died at the hands of others or violated the confidentiality clauses in the contract that were integrated with their souls, and were silenced by the contract.

Jiang Yan doesn't feel guilty about this because he thinks he is quite tolerant. Not only does he develop the contractors based on the principle of "you love and I want to", but the terms of the contract he signed with them are also very complete.

, Everyone secretly asked the intelligent brain to follow and monitor around the clock, and Jiang Yan also gave the intelligent brain responsible for monitoring the authority to control the effectiveness of the contract according to the situation. Even if there is a situation where the clause is misjudged,

Intellectual brains can also correct it in time, which is foolproof.

Geno's situation is the best example. He violated the contract backlash mechanism set by Jiang Yan several times but nothing major happened. He was only given a small punishment and warned because of the intellectual brain interference of secret surveillance.

The result is.

"Is there only one hundred people in total? And there is no one with a second-level strength... Intelligent Body, let's start to expand the scope of the future contract targets!" After looking through the information of those contractors compiled by Intelligent Body,

Jiang Yan thought about it and ordered.

"Since our sub-machine network has laid out the Dulagon Empire and has begun to radiate to neighboring countries, we don't have to hide too much when doing things. The principle of random grabbing for contractors should be as long as possible.

Let those who are interested see what clues can be seen through regional screening.”

Jiang Yan knew very well how magical and precious his superpowers were, so before he was sure that he could protect himself in the face of the top powers in this world, he would adopt the principle of being as safe and secure as possible in all his superpowers.

Even Jiang Yan ordered the plan to recruit humans to develop into new sub-machines through the Dream Contract, after Jiang Yan deployed his sub-machine network to most of the empires, in order to confuse the public and avoid those who are interested in taking the mastermind directly.

Locking the suspicion to the city of Billon thus increasing the risk of his own exposure.

"Yes, expand the selection scope immediately." The Zhizhu responded to the order and asked again: "So, will the second-level extraordinary person be included in the selection target?"

"...No! The second-level extraordinary people in this world all have the strength level of a single-player Pojun, which is slightly better than the innate warriors in Canglan Domain. If the contract fails, it will cause trouble if it fails.

!" Jiang Yan shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Unless it is a kind of goal that can be confirmed that even if it fails, there will be no future troubles. For example, if a person is already in a desperate situation of serious injury and dying, then you can consider it.

If you find such a person, you can notify me first before taking action. Do you understand?"

"yes."

After handling the routine review work, Jiang Yan pulled his mind back from the Internet and truly relaxed and began to enjoy the leisure time of afternoon tea.

...

Unlike Jiang Yan who spent his leisurely life, many outside forces are busy because of his various actions over the past period of time.

Dulagan Empire, No. 11 Technical Institute, some advanced laboratory.

Under the bright surgical lights, Dr. Lux, with a gloomy face and several research assistants were surrounding a test bench, holding various tools to perform creepy dissections on a corpse.

Dr. Lux held a test tube with a strange yellow-green fluorescence. While pouring the strange colored reagent inside on the decomposed corpse, he carefully observed the reaction of the reagent.

The yellow-green reagent fell on the flesh and blood, turned into light mist and spread out suddenly, wrapping the entire body directly, causing the body to emit a strange green fluorescence.

After a while, the green fluorescence dissipated, and no abnormalities appeared other than that.

A hint of doubt flashed in Lux's eyes: "Well - is this also unresponsive? If the elixir of the epiphany with the addition of the Nether Bone Melon doesn't work, it means that there is indeed no soul residue in this one..."

He put down the empty test tubes and asked his assistants to leave the aftermath. He changed the white coat that was stained with a lot of blood and left the laboratory directly.

Lux just returned to his office and saw a middle-aged man in military uniform standing up from the sofa, bowed slightly and asked with some anticipation: "Doctor, what is the result?"

"It's still the same." Lux sat down casually, made a cup of coffee for himself, and shook his head while drinking, "Everyone of the corpses you brought back had no soul reaction, and it was all empty.

It's a shell."

"That would be tricky." The middle-aged officer frowned and a serious look appeared in his eyes.

It’s not a big deal that he showed this expression. In recent months, intelligence personnel have reported it from all over the empire, and some original ordinary people suddenly gained extraordinary power. If it were just a few examples, it would be fine, after all

It may also be because of the luck that I got some adventure, but the same thing happened too many times, so it cannot be explained by coincidence. This naturally attracted the attention of the intelligence officer and sent someone to investigate the information of these abnormal people.

As a result, it was found that these people with abnormalities had many similarities: they were all ordinary people, their identities were ordinary and low, and they faced difficulties and had a strong desire for power.

The official originally decided to wait and see for a while, but after catching a few guys who relied on the sudden gain of their power, a bigger abnormality appeared.

All the people caught were unwilling to disclose any information related to the incident. If they were tortured by force, they would not be able to death. Methods such as mind reading would even make the other party commit suicide directly!

You should know that many of these arrested people are civilians. They cannot have the cruel willpower to withstand torture and refuse to surrender! The only explanation is that these people are not willing to surrender and confess,

But they can't do it!

I felt that the strange empire officials had conducted a more in-depth investigation, and then I was surprised to find that after these people died, the souls in the corpses seemed to disappear strangely.

In this world where spiritual power is the dominant power system, it is no secret that the existence of souls is even among the public. Regardless of other worlds, in this world, even if the soul of human body dies, it will be returned to the human body after death.

The world should also remain in the corpse for some time temporarily.

But those corpses are obviously different. The experiment Lux just conducted proved a conclusion: even if those corpses were just dead, there was no trace of the soul inside them!

This phenomenon suddenly attracted the attention of the empire because-

"Satisfies the wishes of those who desire strength and then collect their souls... This method looks so familiar!" Lux narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice: "The crazy demon worshippers of the Dark Church,

Have you actually extended your tentacles to the empire?"

"Doctor, our military department has the same speculation about this, but no trace of them has been found yet." The officer also frowned: "In addition, according to the information sent back by overseas intelligence officers, this abnormal event is not only true.

Due to the limitations of our empire, many neighboring countries around us have the same incident!”

Upon hearing the news, Lux frowned unhappily: "Oh? Such a large range? This is really bad news!"

Being able to make trouble in such a large range without revealing its strength not only means that the person behind the scenes is very strong, but also means that it is difficult to hide this matter from some guys.

"Yes, it's really bad news!" The officer smiled bitterly: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has just heard the news that the Church of Holy Light has sent a notice of entry investigation, and there has been a team of priests and apology knights in a red dress.

The bishop led us to our country and we will probably arrive at the church in the imperial capital tomorrow."

Lux said sarcastically, "Ha, before I could even confirm whether it was the devil's work, these guys wanted to come over like a wild dog that smelled the fishy smell?"

The officer said helplessly: "Doctor, although I think you are right, don't say it out loud. After all, our country is not suitable to have conflicts with the Church of St. Angel."

The Duragang Empire is still in a situation where foreign enemies look around, especially the dispute with the Kingdom of Rheinz is simply a thorn stuck in the empire's throat. It can't be pulled out even if you want to, and it is impossible to leave it alone.

At this time, it would be undoubtedly very bad if you offend the St. Angel's Church, which is stronger than the Empire and Kingdom combined.

"Of course, you don't need to remind me about this." Lux smiled.

"Oh...If the power of the empire has returned to its past, why bother with these things as we do now... Speaking of which, Doctor, I heard that your plan has been successful?" the officer asked suddenly curiously.

Dr. Lux's eyelids moved slightly and glanced at the officer who looked curious and expectant.

"Do you care too? That's right, as long as the 'plan' is in the later stages after a while, and when the experimental results are formed, Rhines and other things will naturally be worth worrying."

The officer asked slightly excitedly when he heard this: "So, can those mass-produced experimental subjects be put into actual combat?"

"Don't be too anxious, Major." Lux waved his hand and smiled lightly: "You know, it's artificial after all, and some innate defects still need time to repair them. According to my estimate, wait for another six more

In seven years, the latest batch should be officially put into the battlefield.”

"Do you have to endure it for seven years..." The officer looked regretful, but he also knew the difficulty of this kind of experiment. It was already rare for Lux to be able to do it to the present, and he would no longer force it.

"Then, it's almost time for me to say goodbye."

After watching the officer leave, Lux's leisurely eyes suddenly became gloomy. He raised his hand and picked up a communicator from under the drawer of the desk. After starting it, he whispered: "Go and check, check if Major Greer has recently

What's wrong with it?"

【yes.】

Lux put down his communicator and looked at the direction where the officer just left, with his eyes entertained.
