I am the Ruler of the Kingdom of Mysterious-Chapter 387 - 351: Containment Facility

The containment of the institute is housed on the eighteenth underground layer, Ye Changqing explained that the construction of the institute has not only utilized the latest technology but also borrowed from many aspects of folk culture.

The Eighteenth Layer of Hell is a place for imprisoning evil ghosts, so it is specially used for containing ghosts.

Even on the doors of the elevator going down, there are images of the gate god printed, and the interior of the elevator is adorned with Zhong Kui battling ghosts, so lifelike it seems as if the fierce-faced Zhong Kui might emerge from it.

Xia Chan was so frightened at first sight that she cried out, stubbornly refusing to enter the elevator with Sang Que, always feeling that Zhong Kui would come out of the painting to attack her.

In the end, it was Sang Que who coaxed and deceived her, covering Xia Chan’s eyes and embracing her in his arms to get her into the elevator.

The containment facility resembled what Sang Que had seen in movies, it was a vast underground space, with only the outer areas being lit, leaving the inside in total darkness, neatly lined with many square glass rooms, occasionally streaks of silvery white light flashing through different glass rooms.

Sang Que stood by the glass window outside carefully looking at the outermost few glass rooms, only then discovering that different evil spirits were trapped inside, invisible to ordinary people. Whenever the evil spirits tried to approach the four-sided glass walls, some mechanism on the walls would be triggered, quickly electrifying to form a runic arc, repelling the evil spirits inside.

The combination of high technology and Daoist Technique was very peculiar.

However, as far as Sang Que could see, all the glass rooms held low-level evil spirits, mostly in the first or second layer, with very few even reaching the third layer, and none reaching the Ghost Level at all.

Ye Changqing took Sang Que to the laboratory in the containment facility, seeing five researchers, one of whom was even wearing a Daoist robe, eating instant noodles there.

Xia Chan, who had been covering her eyes, smelled the aroma of the instant noodles, her nose wrinkling as she immediately let go, "Smells so good, Little Chan wants to eat too."

The Daoist eating the noodles quickly wiped his mouth and stood up, "Professor Ye, you’re here." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Sang Que patted Xia Chan’s hand, Ye Changqing asked others to sit, calling the leading middle-aged man outside to introduce him to Sang Que.

"This is the director of the containment facility, Professor Qin Zhixian. Professor Qin, this is Sang Que, the person you’ve always wanted to meet."

Hearing this, Qin Zhixian’s eyes lit up, staring at Sang Que he asked, "You said you know the Five Ghost Transport Technique of the Taoist Sect, and that you can tame Fierce Ghosts, can you show me? If we can find a safe way to tame Fierce Ghosts, it will change the position of Huaxia in the Mysterious Domain, significantly reducing the casualties of team members while capturing Fierce Ghosts."

Just as Qin Zhixian finished speaking, he felt a chill behind him, the surrounding lights flickered with a crackling sound, and on the third flicker, the facility’s alarm suddenly blared, turning all lights red.

"Alert! Alert!"

Qin Zhixian caught a glimpse of a red hue from the corner of his eye, stronger than any Fierce Ghost in the containment.

Qin Zhixian turned stiffly, seeing a Deceitful Bride covered with a red veil, but as he looked over, the Ghost Bride flickered, turning her back to him, with her face pointing towards the laboratory.

The people in the laboratory, hearing the alarm, all rushed to the door, panickedly checking the situation, one young intern suddenly became stiff all over, his eyes widening in shock trying to call for help, but unable to utter any sound.

He vaguely saw a bride in red appearing before him, a strange force pressing on his back, slowly bowing with the bride.

A sound resembling electricity quickly charging was heard around, Sang Que hurriedly addressed the Deceitful Bride, "Come back!"

At Sang Que’s words, the Deceitful Bride vanished on the spot, leaving only a bone-chilling aura, the intern targeted by the Deceitful Bride took a deep breath and collapsed to the ground, face pale, drenched in cold sweat.

No one around had seen the Deceitful Bride, all unaware of what had happened.

"Did the Fierce Ghost... leave?" Qin Zhixian asked Sang Que in horror.

Sang Que nodded, "I’ve contained it, don’t worry."

Only then did Qin Zhixian let out a breath, quickly heading to the instrument next to him to turn off the containment facility’s alarm.

"How exactly do you tame such a powerful Fierce Ghost?" Qin Zhixian asked, both scared and curious about Sang Que’s ability to tame Fierce Ghosts.

Sang Que looked through the nearby glass towards the inside of the containment facility, "Actually, according to the old terms, what you are currently containing can only be considered low-level evil spirits, not reaching the level of Fierce Ghosts. Before arriving, I had already agreed with Professor Ye to assist you in performing taming evil experiments, but as you just saw, once I release my Fierce Ghost, if it encounters a suitable target, it will act on its own."

"Therefore, taming such entities requires extremely strong willpower, and good physical condition to suppress the backlash of these entities. You should already know that using the power of such entities comes at a price. Also, to assist you, I need to absorb some evil spirit power first."

Qin Zhixian nodded, calling Ye Changqing along to talk with Sang Que in the meeting room inside the containment facility.

Sang Que first briefly explained the distinction between the levels of evil spirits and ghosts to them, also learning from them that there are currently no Ghost Level entities in the facility, only Evil Level, totaling around five hundred.

Moreover, some of these are yin objects, the facility has no concept of yin objects, considering this type of evil spirit as existing because of items, and separates item-based evil spirits from pure spirit-type evil spirits for containment.

Regarding methods of taming evil spirits, and information related to the Heart Lamp, Sang Que also informed Qin Zhixian, claiming it was what her master had told her, ancient solutions from those hermit masters.

Through communication, Sang Que was more convinced of her previous assumption that Huaxia’s level in the supernatural field generally remained within the Evil Level range, and the items used to deal with evil spirits mostly consisted of Taoist talisman and high-tech weapons related to electromagnetism, which are currently the two most effective methods.

In addition, there are some methods related to folklore, such as those used by the Buddhist Sect, Shamanism for exorcism.

The institute is currently only able to contain these evil spirits, lacking means to directly kill these evil spirits.

They had long discovered some evil spirits could devour each other, but after devouring, the remaining evil spirit becomes stronger, so the facility dared not continue this experiment, fearing it might create overly powerful evil spirits.

Currently, the facility has a few Third Layer evil spirits, with a very high risk of containment failure, which was why Ye Changqing brought Sang Que here immediately, hoping Sang Que would help deal with these Third Layer evil spirits.

Sang Que had Qin Zhixian’s subordinates, the few researchers, prepare some food for Xia Chan, telling her to wait obediently in the lab without touching the expensive equipment.

Sang Que followed Qin Zhixian into the inner part of the containment facility, where low-level evil spirits, sensing her presence, already shrunk back, not daring to move.

Modern evil spirits aren’t like those in the Deceit Dynasty, such as Corpse Mud Evil, Wheat Evil, Wind Demon, which are more nature-related evil spirits. Modern evil spirits largely form after a person’s death, aligning more with the traditional concept of ghosts.

She also saw things from Xujiawan Village here, the whole front door and wall of the July Photography Studio were moved here and placed inside a glass room. As Sang Que passed by, many children’s faces appeared on the broken, dirty glass door, and she even saw those spirit-seeking broadcasters who had previously disappeared.

There was also a bloodstained sewing machine, a chipped traditional medicine jar, and the large clock that once housed the Golden Child, all present here.

Ahead appeared grids of electric nets, twisted into complex runic shapes with conductive materials, with a passage behind, flanked by larger glass rooms, still pitch black inside.

Qin Zhixian said to Sang Que, "The more powerful ones are inside, if they escape, there will inevitably be major casualties. It’s best if you can eliminate them directly. If they cannot be controlled, there’s no research value."

Sang Que nodded, and Qin Zhixian opened the electric net door, letting Sang Que in.
