Tang Tianyi faced real danger with an unflustered demeanor, which Luo Chao observed closely.

"Miss Tang, are you saying that even though you closed your eyes at the time, you could still feel something being absorbed into this Super Ion Isolator in that instant?" Luo Chao, coming back to his senses, asked, seemingly to confirm again.

"Yes, regardless of whether what I saw was an illusion, something was indeed absorbed into the Isolator, and I am one hundred percent sure of this!" Tang Tianyi spoke with a firm expression, full of confidence.

With Tang Tianyi's clear answer, Luo Chao couldn't help but bow his head in thought.

A shadowy figure, a scream, a wisp of black mist in the Isolator...

All these clues entangled and connected in Luo Chao's mind, as he activated his extraordinary analytical reasoning skills, analyzing carefully.

At this moment, in Luo Chao's thinking palace, time seemed to stand still.

In the world of Luo Chao's mind, he stood alone in a magnificent hall.

This grand hall was Luo Chao's thinking palace.

Since following his elderly master in cultivation, whenever Luo Chao concentrated entirely on analytical thinking, his consciousness would involuntarily open this miraculous thinking palace.

In the thinking palace, Luo Chao's mental awareness operated at a speed hundreds of times faster than normal, which made the flow of time in the thinking palace seem almost stationary.

In fact, this wasn't true stillness, but a relativistic phenomenon appearing after Luo Chao's thinking speed reached a certain realm.

In reality, the time flow rate in Luo Chao's thinking palace was not stationary, but because Luo Chao's thinking speed accelerated, it appeared as if time in the thinking palace was exceedingly slow, almost still.

Luo Chao had already discovered that one hour of thinking in the palace was equivalent to just one second in the real world!

Thus, whenever Luo Chao encountered complex and mysterious problems, he would open the thinking palace and frantically think of countermeasures or study solutions to the problems.

As a result, what might seem to others like a complex problem or a difficult situation could be resolved by Luo Chao in just a few seconds, or even less than a second, with a solution that others could scarcely conceive.

It was by relying on this special ability that Luo Chao accomplished many bizarre and highly difficult tasks that most people found hard to complete or even comprehend.

And it was precisely because of this capability that Luo Chao was able to join the special elite military unit of Huaxia—the Dragon Fang Team—at the age of twenty-two!

In the thinking palace, Luo Chao stood with hands clasped behind his back, eyes slightly closed, and at a certain moment, as Luo Chao pondered, strips of clues materialized in the air around him!

The first to catch his eye was a pitch-black shadowy figure, immediately followed by the Super Ion Isolator designed and manufactured by Tang Tianyi, and the black mist swirling and dancing inside it.

Next appeared Tang Tianyi's panicked appearance, Jiang Xuming's battered corpse, and the terrifying classroom of that dreadful night, even the wildly spinning ceiling fan above Tang Tianyi's head, all manifested in Luo Chao's thinking palace.

Luo Chao suddenly opened his eyes, and although the manifested clues before him were so vivid and terrifying, as if he were present at the scene, Luo Chao remained calm, seeming to disregard these frightening visions.

His reaction was closely linked to his identity as a soldier of Huaxia.

During his time with the Dragon Fang Team, Luo Chao had witnessed all kinds of terrifying assassins and gruesome scenes, so the imagined entities couldn't scare the battle-hardened Luo Chao.

Yet, the most crucial point was that this was merely a virtual world, in Luo Chao's thinking palace.

It's no exaggeration to say that in this thinking palace, Luo Chao was the god of this virtual world.

Just like the lucid dreams an ordinary person might occasionally have, Luo Chao, in his self-created thinking palace, held absolute control!

Whatever he wished to appear would appear, and whatever person he wanted to disappear would vanish from his thinking palace, this was the power of a god!

"Shadow?"

Luo Chao paced towards the pitch-black shadow in the thinking palace, holding his chin, eyes narrowed, closely observing the shadow while muttering to himself.

"Black mist?"

After studying the shadow, Luo Chao nodded slightly, appearing to be deep in thought, and proceeded to the front of the Super Ion Isolator containing the black mist, still muttering to himself.

At this moment, the black mist inside the Isolator continued to writhe restlessly, as if it could break through the Isolator and pounce on Luo Chao at any moment.

"Hmm, be still!" Luo Chao suddenly shouted at the black mist.

A miraculous scene ensued, as soon as Luo Chao uttered these words, the black mist immediately stopped its erratic movements, becoming as still as a solid object, obediently resting in the air, submitting to Luo Chao's inspection!

Luo Chao bent down, bringing his face close to the Isolator, carefully observing the shape of the black mist.

"Come out!" Luo Chao suddenly shouted again, and astonishingly, the black mist seeped through the Isolator's body, emerging from within!

Then, under Luo Chao's mental control, the black mist slowly floated and stopped in the palm of his hand.

"Getting a closer look makes it clearer indeed!" Luo Chao toyed with the black mist in his hand, his expression self-satisfied.

However, Luo Chao's self-satisfied expression quickly restrained, gradually becoming very serious.

At this moment, through close observation of the black mist in the thinking palace, Luo Chao had discovered some clues.

Luo Chao realized the black mist was not merely "mist" but had a vague outline shape.

In other words, the black mist was not "gas" but an object!

It's just that this object appeared in a gaseous state, floating uncertainly under some unknown force!

"What on earth is this? How can such an object exist in this state!" Even the well-informed Luo Chao felt the black mist before him was incomparably mysterious!

"This! This is!" Suddenly, Luo Chao's eyes widened in shock, a surge of terror coursed through his heart!
