Containing monsters? Call me 749 the God of Slaughter!

Li Haotian felt a chill in his heart.

Because no matter what choice he makes in the face of this test, he will fall into Zhao Wenbin's trap!

half an hour.

He then said in a hoarse voice, "We will handle it according to procedure. Anomalies may be caused by faking emotions to gain sympathy."

"Very good," Zhao Wenbin said calmly, a glint in his eyes, "Then, carry it out."

A tranquilizer launcher appeared in Li Haotian's hand.

He aimed at the little girl and pulled the trigger.

The injection hit its mark, and the little girl slowly stopped struggling.

She closed her eyes, as if she were asleep.

Phase Two Completed

[Rating: Pass]

With the environment reset, Li Haotian returned to the platform.

Sweat had soaked through his training clothes.

Zhao Wenbin stared at Li Haotian with a cold gaze, but showed no appreciation for Li Haotian's perfect handling of the task; instead, he grew even colder.

Li Haotian, however, felt heavy-hearted.

The vengeful spirit is not dead; it has been perfectly contained.

The same scenario, but with completely different outcomes.

The answer is self-evident.

Zhao Wenbin continued in an emotionless voice, "Practical test."

The lights in the hall went out completely, plunging the hall into darkness.

Then, a new environment is generated.

This time it was an abandoned factory workshop.

Rusty machines, broken conveyor belts, and oil stains all over the floor.

The air was filled with the smell of rust and mildew.

[Simulated Environment: Abandoned Factory]

[Target: Unknown anomaly, estimated severity: E~D]

[Task: Investigate and handle]

[Special Instructions: Contain as much as possible; kill if necessary]

The last instruction is interesting: kill if necessary.

Li Haotian cursed inwardly.

Damn it, they're still testing me!

But now that things have come to this, there's nothing he can do.

All he could do was grip the net gun and jammer tightly and activate his psychic vision.

The dark environment became clear.

Faint gray energy particles floated in the air, like some kind of lingering resentment.

The sound of metal scraping came from deep within the workshop.

He took a deep breath and carefully moved toward the source of the sound.

There was broken glass and iron filings underfoot, making a soft crunching sound when you stepped on them.

His clairvoyant eyes allowed him to see details in the darkness: graffiti on the walls, footprints on the ground, electrical wires hanging from the ceiling...

The sound was getting closer.

In the innermost corner of the workshop, there is a huge hydraulic press.

A figure was crouching under the machine.

Li Haotian slowly approached.

When he was ten meters away, he could see what it was.

A man in overalls, with his back to him, was convulsing.

The work clothes were tattered, and the exposed skin was bluish-gray with black streaks.

The man's hands rubbed repeatedly on the hydraulic press's worktable, producing a harsh sound.

[Scanning in progress...]

[Target: Mechanical Vengeful Spirit (Fusion Type)]

[Grade: D-]

[Characteristics: A factory worker in life, whose resentment merged with machinery after death. Possesses both physical attack and mental contamination abilities.]

[Weaknesses: 1. Destroy its fused mechanical core; 2. Strong electromagnetic pulse; 3. True Name Call]

Grade D.

It's stronger than the infant spirit from last night.

Li Haotian did not act immediately, but instead observed the environment.

Tools were scattered around the hydraulic press: wrenches, hammers, and cutting machines.

There was an electrical control box on the wall, the door was half open, and the wires inside were exposed.

A strong electromagnetic pulse can be used.

But how is it produced?

He noticed a warning sign next to the switch box: High Voltage Danger.

If the current could be short-circuited, perhaps a pulse could be generated.

But doing so is very risky and could cause a fire or explosion.

It wouldn't matter in a simulated environment, but Zhao Wenbin observed that such reckless behavior might result in points being deducted.

Just as he was thinking, the man suddenly stopped moving.

then.

Slowly, little by little, I turned my head.

His face was deformed.

Half of it is a human face, and the other half is a metal part.

The left eye is a normal eyeball, while the right eye is a red indicator light that flashes in the dark.

Its mouth is wide open, revealing gear-shaped teeth inside.

"New... worker..." The voice sounded like the grinding of a rusty machine, "Come... work overtime..."

The man stood up.

Half of his body was fused with the hydraulic press, and the lower half was a metal structure connected to the machine.

When he moved, the entire hydraulic press vibrated.

[WARNING: Target has entered combat]

Li Haotian took a step back and raised the jammer.

But this time, the jammer didn't seem to have much effect.

The mental pollution caused by mechanical vengeful spirits may differ from that of ordinary spirits.

Sudden.

The hydraulic press started without warning.

A huge pressure plate came crashing down!

Li Haotian fell to the side, and the impact plate slammed down on the spot where he had just been standing, making a deafening noise that shook the ground.

"Overtime...more overtime..." the man muttered to himself as the hydraulic press lifted again, preparing to press down a second time.

We can't tough it out!

Li Haotian got up and ran to the other side of the workshop.

The Eye of Insight scans the surroundings, searching for weaknesses.

The core of the hydraulic press is at the bottom of the machine, an energy node that flashes red light.

But since the man is fused with the machine, to destroy the core, he must first be removed from the machine.

Or... kill him!

Li Haotian thought of one of the weaknesses mentioned by the system: the core of the mechanical equipment that was being destroyed during the fusion process.

If the vengeful spirit is killed directly, the machine may stop.

But if they choose to kill instead of attempting containment, what will happen to Zhao Wenbin...?

The hydraulic press slammed down again, interrupting Li Haotian's thoughts.

He rolled away, but this time he was a little too slow, and the edge of the pressure plate grazed his left shoulder.

My training clothes were torn, and my skin was burning.

[Suffered minor injury]

[Recommendation: Leverage environmental advantages]

Environmental advantages... Li Haotian quickly scanned left and right, his gaze landing on the electrical control box.

He needs an opportunity.

The hydraulic press lifted up once again.

This time, Li Haotian didn't run far. Instead, he waited until the pressure plate reached its highest point and then suddenly rushed towards the hydraulic press!

The man seemed taken aback by this action and paused for a moment.

In that instant, Li Haotian rushed to the switch box and smashed the exposed wires with the jammer in his hand!

Bang!

Sparks fly!

A strong current is instantly conducted through the wires to the entire hydraulic press.

The man screamed in pain, his body convulsed violently, and smoke began to rise from the part that had merged with the machine.

But the machine did not stop.

Instead, due to the current overload, it began to repeatedly and uncontrollably decrease the voltage!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The pressure plate slammed violently onto the worktable, shaking the entire workshop.

The man was screaming, but his voice was growing weaker and weaker.

Li Haotian watched this scene from a safe distance.

The current pulse was indeed effective, but it appeared to have triggered a more dangerous situation.

at last.

After a particularly violent downward press, the hydraulic press made a loud snapping sound, and the entire machine broke apart.

The man's body was torn apart at the point of fusion and fell to the ground.

It twitched a few times, then stopped moving.

The hydraulic press finally stopped operating.

[Target: The mechanical vengeful spirit enters a near-death state]

[Ability can be extracted after defeating the enemy]

[Should we kill him?]
