The metal door of the storage room, and it was right below the law enforcement building, the security was quite tight.
Liu Long didn’t rush to go in. It wasn’t until Yun Yao, with her disheveled hair, walked over that he opened the door.
Li Hao nodded at Yun Yao, not knowing how to address her, so he just greeted her with a smile without speaking.
This doctor was very important to the entire team.
Li Hao felt that she seemed kind, but he also remembered Liu Yan’s warning.
It wasn’t that he had to believe Liu Yan, but Liu Yan’s caution seemed genuine to Li Hao, indicating that this doctor was not someone to be trifled with.
"Nice!"
Just as Li Hao was about to enter, Yun Yao suddenly looked at him and said, "Nice."
Li Hao was taken aback.
Was she talking to me?
Liu Long also looked at Yun Yao in surprise, what was nice?
In the team, Yun Yao didn’t talk much, but her position was important. Today, however, her words seemed a bit mysterious.
"Nothing!"
Yun Yao smiled and said, "Looking at Li Hao, it seems he has been training well after returning."
With one sentence, she changed the topic.
But Li Hao felt a bit uneasy.
Training well?
Indeed, he had absorbed a lot of mystic energy, but the mystic energy he saw had all dissipated outside his body, and only a little remained inside. This was inevitable, as it was impossible to absorb and digest it all.
Could she have noticed?
He couldn’t help but think so!
It was said that she specialized in extracting mystic energy in the team. Ordinary people couldn’t see mystic energy, so how did Yun Yao extract it?
Just as he was thinking, Liu Long had already opened the storage room door.
...
A completely metal storage room!
There wasn’t even a ventilation port.
The floor was also metal, and walking on it, one could feel the thickness of the metal, which was definitely not thin. The Demon Hunter Squad had really invested a lot, and they took it very seriously.
The storage room wasn’t large, but it wasn’t messy.
There weren’t many areas, just three small rooms, each with a door.
The mystic energy was placed in the third small room.
Liu Long didn’t introduce what was in the first two rooms, nor did he open the doors for Li Hao to see. He directly walked to the door of the third room, and this time, it wasn’t Liu Long who opened it, but Yun Yao.
Yun Yao took out a key, and a faint starlight seemed to emanate from it.
Li Hao’s heart was slightly shaken, this... a transcendent item?
The key was actually a transcendent item!
Despite the faint starlight, the presence of starlight meant mystic energy, which should be a transcendent item, right?
The Demon Hunter Squad indeed took mystic energy seriously!
"Click"
A light sound, the key turned, and the starlight flickered slightly. Liu Long couldn’t see it, but Li Hao could clearly see the flicker of the starlight.
As the starlight flickered, the door was opened.
And Liu Long said coldly, "The storage room for mystic energy was built with a huge investment by the Demon Hunter Squad! Even if a superhuman enters, without the key, they can’t easily open it!"
Li Hao nodded and praised, "Impressive!"
As for what was impressive... just saying. If superhumans could really get here, would the key even matter?
The storage room was just to prevent petty thieves, nothing more.
The iron door was opened, and this time, what came into view was a large glass dome.
A very complex glass dome device!
It occupied more than half of the room.
Li Hao’s eyes flickered slightly, starlight!
When he saw the glass dome, he saw starlight, and it was different from the starlight energy he had seen before.
The starlight energy he had seen before came from the jade sword, with a true star color, a bit cold and flickering.
But this time, the starlight energy he saw seemed to carry something else.
The glass dome seemed to be divided into several areas. In one area, the starlight seemed to be burning with flames.
In another area, the starlight energy seemed to have lightning flashing.
In another area, the starlight energy was mixed with some black mist.
The last small area was similar to the starlight energy Li Hao usually saw, just pure starlight, with no other elements mixed in, of course, it felt a bit scattered.
While Li Hao was looking, Liu Long was also looking, with a hint of fascination in his eyes.
It seemed that at this moment, he could see!
Sure enough, the next moment, Li Hao heard Liu Long exclaim, "This is mystic energy, see it?"
Li Hao’s heart was shaken!
Did he see it?
Was he discovered?
Liu Long knew he could see...
He quickly calmed himself down, no, it shouldn’t be like that. He glanced at Liu Long, and indeed, Liu Long sighed again, "It’s Yun Yao’s ability. Under normal circumstances, mystic energy can’t be seen! But Yun Yao can capture mystic energy and confine it in an ice crystal dome using special methods, even presenting its original form, making it visible to the naked eye!"
Li Hao was a bit surprised and looked at Yun Yao.
So, everyone can see the starlight energy at this moment, and it’s this woman’s technique?
What technique is this?
Liu Long had said that normal people couldn’t see it, and even superhumans couldn’t.
Yun Yao was calm, and seeing Li Hao’s gaze, she smiled and said softly, "Brother Liu is flattering me, it’s just a small trick! Mystic energy is a form of energy. Even if it can’t be seen, it fundamentally exists! To make it visible to the naked eye, it’s actually simple, just color the energy!"
Color!
Li Hao understood the meaning, but he didn’t understand how to color it to make it visible.
Yun Yao saw Li Hao’s curiosity and laughed, "Coloring isn’t too difficult. There are many ways to achieve it. The real challenge is preventing the mystic energy from dissipating! This is where the ice crystal dome comes in... strictly speaking, it’s thanks to Professor Yuan Shuo!"
Li Hao was slightly stunned and quickly thought of something, "My teacher... discovered the ice crystal dome?"
"Yes!"
Yun Yao seemed to admire Yuan Shuo, or perhaps anyone slightly involved in research knew Yuan Shuo, especially in the field of superhuman abilities.
"The ice crystal was discovered by your teacher in an ancient ruin. At first, no one paid attention, but later Professor Yuan Shuo developed the maximum use of the ice crystal, isolating energy dissipation!"
Yun Yao sighed, "If not for the discovery of the ice crystal, the development of superhuman abilities might have lagged for many years! Because of the ice crystal, the Night Watchmen were able to store some mystic energy, channel it into the body, and allow many people to qualify as superhumans!"
Liu Long nodded at this moment, "Yes, the discovery of the ice crystal is indeed very useful! Over ten years ago, without the ice crystal, the Night Watchmen had already been established, but only a few people could be initiated each year, relying on the Night Watchmen to pass on mystic energy and transform new members! This was not only dangerous but also costly... until the appearance of the ice crystal, the Night Watchmen developed rapidly!"
Li Hao felt a bit proud at this moment!
Teacher, you’re amazing!
It turns out that the development of superhuman abilities is closely related to his teacher.
He quickly thought of something and asked, "Then why can’t my teacher become a superhuman?"
"First, his martial arts cultivation is strong. Second..."
Liu Long smiled, "Your teacher isn’t a good person, either. He knows too much about superhuman abilities and keeps many things hidden, even some ancient ruins he hasn’t developed or revealed! Everyone speculates that your teacher must be in possession of several ancient civilization sites! So, if your teacher really became a superhuman... what would be left for the Night Watchmen?"
Liu Long continued, "There’s another key point. With your teacher’s strength, if he really transformed into a superhuman and gained benefits from several ancient ruins, he might become one of the strongest in the Night Watchmen..."
Li Hao thought about it and said softly, "Suspicion?"
"Yes, suspicion!"
Liu Long nodded and quickly added, "However, I think your teacher is about to become a superhuman!"
"Why do you say that?"
Li Hao asked, and quickly thought of something, speaking in a deep voice, "Brother, do you mean that the Night Watchmen have grown much stronger
