Wizards begin with Occlumency.

Chapter 175 Young people are not only reckless, but also ruthless! (Part 2)

In the laboratory.

The four men looked at each other in bewilderment.

They looked at the four antagonists and their formulas on the control panel, somewhat incredulous.

Yet they tend to believe it.

This is a very contradictory feeling.

After being infected, they, including the head of the drug research and development team and the entire drug refining team next door, did consider how to save themselves.

There was absolutely no clue.

They don't even know how they got infected, let alone develop an antidote.

Now, a young man known as a "genius pharmacist" claims to have solved the problem in less than an hour.

This is absolutely unbelievable!

This made the four men suspicious.

"I'll do it!"

The most handsome, best-built, and most heavily puffy male group member hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

He picked up an antidote and tilted his head back to gulp it down.

They were afraid that if they poured it too slowly, they would regret it.

He didn't want to be so reckless as to believe something based on just a sentence or two on a piece of paper.

I simply can't live like this anymore!

It happens every day, and not just with one person, and not just once.

It's three times for each person, three times, three times three equals nine, that's nine times!

No matter how gifted he is, he can't withstand such ruthless exploitation, right?

He was so thin and frail that he looked like a ghost.

The antagonist, gleaming with an alluring light on the control panel, was simply too tempting for him.

It was so loud that he seemed to hear a voice whispering.

Try it.

What if it works?

What if?

That devilish voice whispered in his ear and echoed in his mind.

The male team member's long-numbed heart instantly came back to life.

They would rather risk drinking poison and dying than miss that "what if".

Even if there's no "what if," and it's a bottle of poison that kills me, it's still better than living numbly like this.

The other three, witnessing this scene, were deeply moved by this fearless spirit.

They exchanged a glance, then stared intently at the warrior.

They hoped that the antagonist the warrior had taken was indeed effective.

It can truly free them from the shackles of aphrodisiacs.

Then they immediately followed.

Although this is a bit cowardly and doesn't save face, it's safer.

He gulped down the medicine in a few mouthfuls.

As soon as it entered my stomach, I had a reaction.

A faint, almost imperceptible fluctuation of mental energy emanated from the warrior.

The three onlookers felt as if they had smelled a rotten egg.

The warriors, however, felt a sense of relief, as if their minds had regained their clarity, and they felt wonderful.

The person's energy and spirit changed instantly.

Like a caged bird freed from its cage, it rediscovers the beauty of freedom, the wonderful freedom.

"It really worked! He wasn't lying to us!"

Looking at his three equally cowardly companions, the warrior offered them a taste test and urged, "Hurry up and drink it, what are you hesitating for?"

Before the words were even finished, Verzhni's shouts came from outside:

"Did you all die in there? Four of you couldn't stop one person! A bunch of useless trash, what use are you? Stop dawdling and get out here right now!"

The sound was extremely penetrating and had a great deterrent effect.

The three cowardly men were initially hesitant.

Spurred on by that shout, they all went all out.

Each of them picked up an antagonist and tilted their heads back to gulp it down.

Three fluctuations occurred simultaneously.

Three caged birds successfully escaped.

The four male team members, now freed, exchanged glances, tacitly memorized the recipe, then disposed of the evidence before leaving the private room and returning to their living/office area.

When Vergini saw the four of them, she was furious.

With a glare and a snap of the fingers, he's about to unleash his exceptional verbal skills.

But the warrior's courage had not yet faded, and he immediately glared back, angrily shouting:

"You bitch! I'm free now, and I'm not afraid of you catching me red-handed anymore! If you dare to utter another sound, I'll kill you right now!"

Words were not enough to vent the Warriors' anger that had been building up over the past month.

On the contrary, the more they were criticized, the angrier the Warriors became.

He was burning with anger, his blood was boiling, and his emotions were becoming increasingly agitated.

The Warriors couldn't help but recall the humiliation they had suffered these past days, and their anger reached its peak.

He disregarded all moral principles and attacked without warning.

The magical artifacts were activated instantly, and all the offensive level 1 magical spells were unleashed in one go.

In an instant, there were flashes of light, torrents of water, and cracks in the earth...

All sorts of magical effects appeared instantly, surging towards the unsuspecting Vergenie.

The overwhelming momentum and undisguised killing intent permeated everyone's hearts.

This person is truly intent on killing, seeking "justice"!

Vergini only had time to activate her innate magic and was unable to take any other action in time.

Of the various spells used by the warrior, the innate spell "Mountain Collapse and Earth Shattering" caused the most damage.

Not only did they successfully bury Virginie underground, but they also damaged the building.

A loud bang.

In the blink of an eye, the living/office area of ​​the pharmaceutical research team collapsed.

Smoke and dust flew everywhere, and gray mist spread.

A tremendous sound echoed throughout the entire pharmacy.

Fortunately, the experimental area had been reinforced with defenses, which is why it was spared from damage.

It still stands, but some facilities and equipment have fallen to the ground due to the vibration.

Lin Keyuan felt the tremor even in his dormitory.

"Who's causing trouble?"

Soon, a powerful voice resounded throughout the entire pharmacy department, silencing all other noises.

Emergency measures deployed in the pharmacy department were also activated immediately.

Everyone felt their mental and magical power being suppressed, making it difficult to cast spells.

"Anti-Magic Barrier", a 3-ring rune magic array!

You can enter but not leave; no one inside the barrier can cast spells unless they have specific permissions.

The head of the pharmacy department, who arrived yesterday, is an old man named Murphy, whose only ear is intact and whose face is covered with scars. He is the only person whose movements are not restricted within the range of the barrier.

He stood suspended in mid-air, emanating a powerful aura and imposing presence.

His gaze was fixed on the collapsed living/working area of ​​the pharmaceutical research team's laboratory. His aura was overwhelming, threatening to turn on them at the slightest provocation, and he coldly demanded:

"I'm giving you 10 seconds, all of you get the hell out here!"

The three cowards were the first to emerge from the billowing dust, their faces filled with panic.

They really didn't expect the Warriors to be so brave.

Then came the warriors, heads held high, showing no remorse.

He hadn't planned to be so brave; he wanted to be patient and wait and see.

But once emotions got the better of me, I couldn't hold back anymore.

Just do it! Why hold back?

Sure enough, I felt much better after burying Verzhni.

After a moment, Grace appeared in old Murphy's sight, supporting Virginie, whose mouth was bleeding.

Grace was just covered in dust and dirt, but nothing serious.

Vergini was indeed injured.

Although it's not heavy, it's incredibly insulting.

The warrior actually used light-based witchcraft techniques to imprint a word on each side of her face.

The right side is "碧" (bi), and the left side is "池" (chi).

It was impossible to erase in a short time, so I could only keep my head down as much as possible.

Next came the disheveled head of the drug development team, and the radiant Hamus.

"snort!"

Old man Murphy stared at the disheveled research team leader for a long time, making no attempt to hide his contempt. He forced out a sound from his nose, his tone utterly disdainful, and said:

"Look at yourself, what kind of person are you? And look at your team members, none of them are serious. You're really bringing honor to your family!"

The R&D team leader's already flushed face turned even redder, a deep, embarrassed red.

He kept his head down, not daring to meet Murphy's gaze at all.

Bringing shame to his family is the greatest disgrace for a spoiled brat like him who relies on his family's connections to become a formal wizard.

Especially losing on things like this.

From that moment on, he was never able to lift his head again.

"What happened?"

Old man Murphy grew increasingly disappointed, then looked at the culprit, "Warrior," and demanded, "Give me an explanation."

The Warriors have already gone all out.

With his head held high, ignoring the presence of numerous staff members from the pharmacy's administration, materials processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, warehousing, and transportation departments watching from afar, and whether it would make him even more embarrassed, he loudly proclaimed:

"I broke free from the 'aphrodisiac' control of those bitches Hammuse, Grace, and Vergne. In a moment of excitement, I wanted to kill those bitches who had exploited me for a whole month, leaving me almost unrecognizable. But I couldn't control myself, and the power of the witchcraft was a bit too great, causing the room to collapse."

Murphy's focus is not on the Warriors being exploited, nor on the Warriors becoming unrecognizable.

He was focused on how the Warriors broke free from control.

The frontline command is not deaf, blind, or stupid.

The fact that the pharmacy department was in such a bad state must have been noticed long ago, and people must have been sent to investigate the cause.

The fact that the entire pharmaceutical research and development team and pharmaceutical refining team fell for the "hostile forces'" scheme, were caught red-handed, and were demoralized has long been investigated and confirmed.

The reason it took a month to send out old man Murphy was because Wizard Paro didn't have many trustworthy people.

The frontline medical department was busy treating the wounded and refining medicines that should have been the responsibility of the rear pharmacy department. They simply couldn't spare any manpower in the short term to study how to crack the needle-grinding scheme.

After Murphy investigated the pharmacy department, he made cracking the aphrodisiac his top priority.

Once this problem is solved, the pharmacy department can operate normally and support the work of the frontline medical department.

Old man Murphy was planning how to get more manpower from the front-line command.

This thing just happened suddenly.

Suddenly, I heard that the aphrodisiac had been broken.

How could old man Murphy not be excited and concerned?

He watched the warrior's every reaction intently, and asked in a deep voice, "How did you get away?"

Warriors directly revealed the reason: "Our new colleague today developed an antagonist for 'aphrodisiacs' right away. He left a few finished products and the formula in the lab, and we saw them, so..."

"You drank it?"

"I drank it."

"And then it was solved?"

"And then it was solved!"

A few brief and quick exchanges convinced old man Murphy of the Warriors' story.

He waved his hand, and there were a few clicks.

Eight metal cages descended from the sky, imprisoning all three women and five men in the drug research team.

Among the onlookers, several female staff members witnessed this scene and their expressions changed.

Before they could react, old man Murphy waved his hand again.

Nearly twenty metal cages fell like rain.

The entire potion-making team, regardless of gender, along with two female staff members from other departments, were imprisoned.

In order to disrupt the war plans and combat rhythm of the Paro Wizard, the "hostile forces" sent eight carefully trained female spies from the rear of the apothecary department.

This is utterly insane and utterly perverse.

After doing all this, old man Murphy descended from the sky and landed in front of Link, who had walked from the dormitory to the courtyard.

He looked her up and down carefully for a few moments, then asked, "How did you solve it?"

Link replied calmly, "That's how it's resolved."

Old Man Murphy asked again, "Not difficult?"

Link replied again, "It's not difficult."

After a moment of stunned silence, old man Murphy suddenly burst into a tirade:

"Damn it, are all the frontline medical staff brain-dead idiots?"

Such an easy problem, yet they say it's very difficult and takes time, but they can't spare the manpower right now, and they want me to wait patiently.

"What the hell am I waiting for?!"

"Well……"

Upon hearing this, Link was speechless for a moment.

He had no idea that there was such a thing behind it.

It would be terrible if his honesty hurt his colleagues in the frontline medical department.

But it's really not difficult.

It only lasted for 20 seconds of "multi-threaded thinking".

"Alright, that's all for you. Go back and rest. Once I've cleaned up, you can take over the drug development again."

Old man Murphy waved his hand, signaling Link to go back to his dormitory.

The following scenes are too gory to be suitable for children.

Link turned and left without hesitation.

Clearly, old man Murphy had received instructions from wizard Paro and knew their division of labor.

Then let's wait for the completely renovated pharmacy department.

However, as soon as Link returned to his dormitory, he heard a scream.

The tone sounds quite familiar.

It was Virginie, who claimed to know a great deal and had extensive connections.

It's hard to tell whether old Murphy used more interrogation techniques or Virginie used more.

He activated the "Brain Lockdown Technique" at full power, blocking out the screams and wails that echoed throughout the courtyard.

Link leaned back on the bed and closed his eyes, pretending to doze off.

From the moment I left home today until now, I've been either on the road or doing experiments; I haven't had a break.

It's quite tiring.

The pharmacy staff's ears are even more tired.

The screams and wails lasted for most of the day.

Bound by the "anti-magic barrier," they could neither use witchcraft nor magical artifacts, and could only listen to the increasingly loud screams and wails reaching their ears.

They had to endure the torment and psychological shock of the noise.

Nobody's a fool.

As everyone knows, the reason Mr. Murphy pulled this stunt—by not interrogating people in front of everyone, but instead directly torturing and inflicting torture—was to make an example of them.

I'm warning everyone: first, don't cause trouble; second, don't get dragged into it.

Otherwise, the outcome will be just like this: miserable and helpless.

"That's ruthless!"

After a long while, someone let out a sigh.

"Yeah, that old man Murphy is really ruthless!"

Another person chimed in agreement.

To everyone's surprise, the person who had spoken earlier glanced at him sideways, looking at him like he was an idiot, for a long time before explaining, "What I meant was, the new recruit assigned to the potion research group is really ruthless; he took over both the potion research group and the potion refining group as soon as he arrived!"

"That's really ruthless!"

Even though the two of them deliberately lowered their voices, some people could still hear them clearly.

Thus, this sentiment spread and reached the "outside world," where, unsurprisingly, it was distorted.

Before long, a rumor began to circulate throughout the rear camp.

It is said that a newcomer named Link Grand went on a killing spree in the potion department as soon as he arrived, slaughtering everyone in the potion research and development team and the potion making team.

This rumor is so absurd that many people don't believe it.

But the next day, the entire pharmaceutical research and development team and pharmaceutical refining team of the pharmacy department really disappeared.

Thinking hard!

In that case, you have to believe that claim whether you want to or not.

As a result, most people in the rear camp learned the following news:

The newcomer, Link Grand, is a serial killer.

If you see it, just walk around it.

Don't mess with him!
