Chapter 143: Discussion Begins
Having understood the context, Luo Wen was left speechless. Before encountering this spiritual entity, he had experienced numerous “invasions.” However, it seemed that the Rat Folk simply lacked sufficient mental strength. They could find the “door,” but couldn’t explain the reason for doing so, leaving Luo Wen unnecessarily paranoid for a long time.
It was akin to someone knocking on a door, and when the homeowner asked, “Who’s there?” the person outside remained silent but kept knocking. Naturally, the homeowner wouldn’t easily open the door. This time, though, the visitor responded with a vague “It’s me.” While not offering much information, it opened the possibility for dialogue. Weighing the situation, the homeowner might just decide to open the door.
Yes, that was the general idea… right?
Once the spiritual entity merged into the Swarm Network and acquired the status of a “node,” it became indistinguishable from other Swarm units. Due to its absolute loyalty to Luo Wen, he could effortlessly delve into its mind using telepathy to examine its past life.
Upon investigation, Luo Wen discovered that this spiritual entity was once Morgan, a mentor to the Queen of the Kingdom of Kerrigan and the former director of the royal research institute.
After confirming that this energy posed no further threat, Luo Wen released his restraints on it and granted it network access—albeit at the lowest level.
However, the recent activity seemed to have drained Morgan significantly, and he had not yet awakened.
Still, it wasn’t feasible to leave him perpetually confined within the Swarm Network, was it? Staring at the spiritual entity before him—a rare experimental subject—Luo Wen’s scientific curiosity ignited…
When Morgan had fallen off the ladder, darkness gradually enveloped him. He knew death was imminent. Although many things weighed on his mind, he had long come to terms with mortality, having lived a long life by Rat Folk standards.
