151 Emotion Detector

Ning Shi took the document but didn’t read it first, nor did he respond to Yun Moxiang’s words.

His heart ached as he held Hao Meng’s hand and said, “Mengmeng, it’s been hard on you. I’ll give it a try first.”

After he finished speaking, he put on the large sunglasses.

It was more like a black cloth belt than a pair of sunglasses. It was wrapped around Ning Shi’s eyes and fixed on the back of his head.

Instantly, Ning Shi’s field of vision became very dark.

He looked at Yun Moxiang and found that her whole body was red, as if she was on fire.

Hao Meng explained, “Brother Shitou, when you put it on, you can judge the emotions of a person according to the color. If it’s Red, it means anger, panic, surprise, happiness, and other fluctuating emotions. If it’s green, it means that the other party’s emotions are extremely stable. If it’s yellow, it’s between red and green. The fluctuation of emotions is there, but not intense.”

Ning Shi looked at Hao Meng. There was a green circle around her, indicating that she was in a stable mood.

He took off the emotion detector and said, “What material is this thing made of? Is it difficult to make?”

Hao Meng flicked her messy hair and said, “Compared to the emotion detector I designed before, the evil spirit detector’s ability to distinguish emotions is not as detailed. It can only sense the fluctuations of human emotions by sensing the fluctuations of thoughts.

“Therefore, the emotions perceived by this device might not be right. For example, if someone is clearly angry, but has strong control and very little fluctuations in their thoughts, the device would think that they are not angry and is very calm.

“By sacrificing the accuracy of sensing emotions, the sensing range of this detector has been enhanced to about 20 meters.”

“As for the materials used to make the evil spirit detector, Brother Shitou, have you heard of the insect brain pill?”

Ning Shi still had a bottle of insect brain pills in his hand. He nodded and said, “I know. It’s a pill that can increase one’s spiritual power. It’s made by extracting the ‘Shen’ material from the bodies of shrieking bugs, scarabs, and other bugs that are good at spiritual power and elemental attacks.”

“That’s right,” Hao Meng said, following Ning Shi’s lead.

“According to my speculations, the ‘Shen’ substance might be an important component in the body of the Spiritual Power bugs for communication or perception.

“This substance is extracted from the insect’s body. Other than increasing one’s spiritual power, it can also sense the fluctuations of one’s thoughts.

“When there is no mental disturbance, the ‘Shen’ substance is evenly spread out. When the mental fluctuations of a living being are strong, the ‘Shen’ substance will start to move and gradually gather together.

“Based on this feature, I made a series of settings in the evil spirit detector. As long as there is a thought fluctuation from a living being, the ‘Shen’ substance will start to move, and the detector will appear in the corresponding color.

“In theory, as long as an evil spirit appears and has a consciousness fluctuation, the detector will display the relevant color and thus outline the body of the evil spirit.”

Hao Meng explained it as if the theory was simple, but Ning Shi knew that there was a long way to go from a theoretical basis to invention and application.

Hao Meng spent less than three days developing the evil spirit detector, which was really worth it.

“I can’t find any evil spirits to test whether this detector works or not,” said Ning Shi. “Anyway, I’ll speed up the production first.”

“Miss Yun, as you’ve heard, Teacher Hao Meng has invented the evil spirit detector. I would like to request the government to cooperate and fully produce this detector.”

Yun Moxiang had been troubled by the evil spirit murder case for the past few days, and she knew that the most powerful thing about evil spirits was that they were invisible.

Hearing Hao Meng’s description, she suppressed the jealousy and anger in her heart, picked up the evil spirit detector from Ning Shi’s hand, and put it on.

She stayed in the office for a while and then went to the detector outside the campus to observe some students and confirm the effect of the detector.

After returning to the office, she said, “There’s no problem with the detector. We will provide all the materials for free, including the precious ‘Shen’ substance. We will quickly create the evil spirit detector and send it to the corresponding awakened experts.

“I’ll also have to trouble Miss Hao Meng to provide technical guidance for the production process.”

Ning Shi frowned when he heard the rejection in Yun Moxiang’s words.

“Miss Yun, Teacher Hao Meng’s invention can effectively fight against evil spirits. Without the evil spirit detector, how can the government deal with evil spirits, protect the people, and maintain social stability?

“This is a huge contribution. I will ask Chief Hu for instructions. Such a noble scientific invention must be rewarded. Otherwise, who will work for the government in the future?”

Seeing Ning Shi so protective of her, Hao Meng’s heart was filled with sweetness. She looked at Ning Shi silently, her eyes as soft as water.

Seeing Ning Shi and Hao Meng exchanging glances, Yun Moxiang immediately felt bitter and said coldly, “There will be plenty of credit and rewards. The information on the spiritual disaster is in the document. I still have to organize manpower to produce the evil spirit detector, so I won’t be staying here any longer.”

Yun Moxiang turned around to leave, but when she reached the door, she turned back and said to Hao Meng, “Ms. Hao Meng, aren’t you coming with me? I need your technical guidance to produce the detector.”

Hao Meng looked away from Ning Shi and said indifferently, “I’ve already uploaded the production technology and specific process of the evil spirit detector to the secret warehouse website. The production process doesn’t have much technical content, so I won’t be going in person. If there’s anything I don’t understand, I can guide you through video calls from afar.”

Yun Moxiang was so annoyed that she slammed the office door and left.

Hao Meng rolled her eyes at Ning Shi and said, “Brother Shitou, how many good sisters do you have? Even a blind man can see Miss Yun’s feelings for you.”

Ning Shi touched his nose and smiled awkwardly. He said honestly, “There are two more. You’ll see them in the future, but Yun Moxiang is definitely not one of them. I don’t have that kind of feeling for her.”

Ning Shi indeed didn’t have a good impression of Yun Moxiang. In terms of looks, she was worse than Hao Meng, and her behavior was difficult. She wasn’t Ning Shi’s type.

Although Ning Shi was lecherous, he wasn’t someone who couldn’t move when he saw a woman.

Hao Meng wasn’t really angry. She had already accepted the fact that Ning Shi had many women. Her complaints just now were more like coquettishness.

Ning Shi quickly changed the topic. He picked up the document Yun Moxiang brought and read the information inside.

Ning Shi’s expression didn’t change as he skimmed through the information. He handed the information to Hao Meng and asked after she had finished reading it.

“What do you think of the speculations in the official information?”

Hao Meng rubbed her temples and said, “The contents of the document can’t be fake. Yunmeng Kingdom’s five thousand years of history have been put to good use at this moment. The government used the ability of a space-type awakener to enter the tombs of many emperors, including the first emperor, and collected many precious documents.

“The description of the spiritual disaster in the literature is the same as the characteristics of the evil spirits that have appeared now, so it should be correct.”

Ning Shi couldn’t help but nod. “According to historical records, invisible evil ghosts had killed people in the Qin, Tang, and Song Dynasties. The number of casualties was huge and it caused great panic. These invisible things were called differently in each dynasty. Some were called ghosts, some were called devils. The last time it appeared was in the Ming Dynasty, and they called it a spiritual disaster. However, I have a question. Why is there no record of such a large-scale death in the history of each dynasty? It’s fine if there’s no official history, but why isn’t there any in the unofficial history or folk legends?”

Hao Meng agreed with Ning Shi, saying, “There’s indeed something strange about this. Since there’s no record of it in the official history or among the people, why did these emperors bring documents that recorded the spiritual disaster into the tomb? Could it be that they hope for future generations to raid their own tombs?”

Ning Shi couldn’t figure it out either. He had learned about the fragments of the Evil Spirit World from the game system. The game system evolved from the origin treasure was not omnipotent. A lot of information was unknown to the world that he had not come into contact with.

“As far as I know, the Evil Spirit World is a relatively high-level world. It is connected to many worlds and can collect the emotions of living creatures in various worlds. Evil spirits appeared in ancient times to kill people. They should be deliberately absorbing negative emotions in Saturn.”

At this point, Ning Shi suddenly stopped talking, because he suddenly realized that evil spirits were natural products without any consciousness. It was the origin treasure of the Evil Spirit World that gave them consciousness and spirituality, which gave birth to evil spirit assassins.

If evil spirits had started killing people since the Qin Dynasty, it meant that the origin treasure of the Evil Spirit World had been around for at least two thousand years!

It had been less than three months since he had obtained the origin treasure, and he already had such power. If the origin treasure of the Evil Spirit World and its host had already developed for more than two thousand years, how powerful would it be?

Thinking of this, Ning Shi felt a sense of crisis from the bottom of his heart. No wonder the game system was so secretive about the origin treasure of the Evil Spirit World at the beginning.

At the critical moment, the system gave him a prompt.

[ There is no absolute connection between the time when an origin treasure awakens its instinctive consciousness and its final strength. An origin treasure that has not awakened its instinctive consciousness will also passively accumulate the world’s essence power. Please judge the enemy’s strength correctly. If there is no chance of winning, the system will give a prompt. ]
