Chapter 49: Whose Footprints Are These? Activate the Scepter!
The scepter was quickly brought over, and Professor Feng took it, carefully examining the black wooden scepter. After a brief sensing, he found no abnormalities.
As a lightning cultivator in the Spirit Yuan Realm, he attempted to inject the lightning Spiritual Energy within him into the scepter.
The Thunder Power continuously poured into the black scepter, but there was no reaction.
It was like a bottomless pit, constantly absorbing everything.
“This thing is quite interesting!”
“However, do you know how much energy this thing requires? My laboratory doesn’t do small business. If it’s too powerful and destroys this treasure, I won’t be responsible.”
Wang Wen was certainly unaware of this and could only look at Bai Yu.
Bai Yu smiled and said, “If it can be destroyed, is it still a treasure?”
“Oh, such big talk! Did you learn that from your teacher?”
Bai Yu shrugged helplessly and said without reservation, “I am just a member of the investigation team, not Professor Wang Wen’s student. He kept trying to take me as a disciple, but I didn’t agree. Now he shamelessly calls me a student. I have never seen such thick-skinned…”
Before he could finish, he was glared back by Professor Wang’s gaze, and Bai Yu could only awkwardly scratch his head.
I was wrong, but I won’t change.
As soon as Bai Yu said this, the expressions of the students of the two professors present became interesting!
Professor Wang actually did this!?
Could their teacher do such a thing?
Thinking back, the conversation in the car seemed off.
Professor Feng was also stunned for a moment, looking at Bai Yu, then at Wang Wen.
Seeing Wang Wen’s embarrassed expression, he knew Bai Yu wasn’t lying.
There’s a story here!
“Interesting! Haha, even more interesting! It’s been a long time since my place has been this entertaining.”
Then he changed the subject and got down to business: “However, do you have a rough idea of this treasure? My laboratory cost two billion to build, and it uses at least thousands of degrees of electricity. It’s possible it could be destroyed.”
“It will probably require hundreds of thousands of degrees of electricity.”
“Hundreds of thousands of degrees!?”
This time it was Professor Feng’s turn to be shocked: “Do you have any concept of how much energy that is? Hundreds of thousands of degrees of electricity is not a small amount.”
“Yes, it requires that much.”
However, Professor Feng, standing in his field, certainly didn’t think Bai Yu understood the significance of hundreds of thousands of degrees of electricity!
To put it in a more exaggerated concept.
【500,000 degrees of electricity is equivalent to 1.83 million tons of water falling from a height of 100 meters! 】
How could this small scepter store such a massive amount of electrical energy?
Currently, even after entering the Extraordinary world, things with such energy density are rarely seen.
He didn’t argue with Bai Yu, only saying, “Then let’s start with the minimum limit and test the waters. If it gets destroyed, don’t blame me.”
After speaking, he began preparations.
For his super-large-scale laboratory, every experiment required meticulous preparation.
Professor Feng’s students and the guards of the base were all busy.
Bai Yu also got busy and learned about the laboratory’s information.
In fact, he wanted to see if he could find any Trickery among the personnel, perhaps to expose them.
Unfortunately, he found nothing unusual.
Seeing this, he took advantage of a gap and walked to the scorched mud ground at the corner of the office building, avoiding people’s sight, and took out his phone.
Using the satellite communication function, he began to compose a text message.
‘Professor Feng has developed the Gungnir, and recently, the laboratory has discovered traces of Vampire Clan Modified Beings in the vicinity. During the recent Gungnir experiment, they were even used as targets.’
‘In addition, Professor Feng today.’
After sending the text message, Bai Yu also sent some photos of the personnel he had taken, thinking: Can the Analysis Team detect any Trickery? For example, if someone’s facial features are abnormal and differ from the original members, they might be Vampire Clan disguises.
After reporting, Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
He had to admit, this kind of thing felt like being a thief, and sweat was beading on his forehead!
Turning around, he walked to the corner and looked around. No one was paying attention to him.
But as he was about to leave, he looked down and saw footprints in the corner!
Because the ground had small ridges, the footprints were not complete.
“Wait a minute!!! These are not my footprints! And the angle of these footprints suggests they were looking at my back.”
He couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine.
“Who was watching me from behind? And without making a sound? This is not right.”
Although they were chatting happily, this was a critical experimental site. He was clearly the sneaky type. This person saw him, shouldn’t they have reacted? Or perhaps, they were secretly reporting him from behind?
“I was a bit careless this time.”
If this attack were to fail because of him…
He couldn’t help but pat his face, starting to get a headache.
This was the first time he had felt so annoyed since he transmigrated.
However, after calming down and thinking, the person staring at him from behind, even if they were a Mole, wouldn’t necessarily think he had discovered the plan in advance, right?
This place isn’t very hidden, and it doesn’t look like a place for passing secret messages.
The number of enemies dispatched for this attack was not small. Would they cancel the operation because of a small action? Probably not.
Professor Feng, Professor Wang Wen, and the soon-to-appear Scepter of Thunder were enough to lure them out.
It was already an open ploy! Even if the other side detected something unusual, they would likely still make a move, just with better preparations.
“First, take a picture of the footprints, see if they have mud on them, and quickly find that guy.”
“Of course, there’s also a possibility that I’m overthinking it, and someone just looked from behind and went to report it.”
“We’ll see.”
Walking back into the crowd, Professor Wang Wen approached and asked Bai Yu in a low voice, “What were you doing in the corner?”
Hearing this, Bai Yu’s heart stirred, and he said, “There’s a secret mission within the team, it’s inconvenient to say. Professor, please don’t mention it to anyone else.”
After speaking, he quickly asked, “Did someone go to that corner just now and secretly observe me? Did you see who it was, Professor?”
“I only noticed you coming out of there, I didn’t see what happened before. By the way, you were on a secret mission here? I don’t believe it.”
“Professor Wang Wen can go back and ask Deputy Director Yang for details.”
Hearing Deputy Director Yang’s name, Wang Wen’s suspicion began to ease.
Bai Yu thought to himself: ‘I should have known to openly take out my phone and send messages. Going to the corner, others might not pay attention, but it’s easy to attract the attention of a Mole.’
I can’t correct this now, I can only avoid it in the future.
It’s just that
In the more than an hour of subsequent preparations, no one was heard reporting him.
Nor was anyone found whose footprints matched the mud.
The method of examining the mud on people’s soles to solve cases was also useless.
It wasn’t until around 3 PM that everything was ready, and the weather was also cooperative.
Bai Yu and the others watched the scene outside from within the control room building.
Dark Clouds hung low, and the sky was covered by a vast black curtain.
The people in the laboratory eagerly awaited the impending Thunderstorm.
The first step: the barbed wire began to slowly release electrical energy.
“Rumble~”
A bolt of lightning instantly struck from the sky, like a long dragon, charging into the field.
A Rainstorm began to fall.
Thunder rumbled, lightning flashed.
As the lightning became more violent, numerous Electric Arcs flickered throughout the entire test site.
The scene was incredibly spectacular!
Suddenly, another thick bolt of lightning descended, directly pouring into the scepter.
This was like a trigger.
The next moment, seven bolts of lightning struck simultaneously, pouring into the scepter.
Within the area enclosed by the barbed wire, violent Electric Arcs transformed into electric snakes, converging towards the center and surging into the scepter.
The electricity consumption numbers on the side continued to rise.
100030008000
The scepter seemed to show no reaction!
Professor Feng couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, “Your scepter is indeed something!”
Soon, the electricity consumption accelerated, and the entire test site was a sheet of white, making it impossible to see the scene clearly.
However, according to the data monitoring, a large amount of lightning Spiritual Energy had indeed disappeared inexplicably.
In a short while, the electricity consumption jumped to 100,000, 120,000, 150,000, 200,000, 300,000…
It was even possible to see the barbed wire distorting and flickering.
Professor Feng frowned. He was a proud man; if his laboratory couldn’t even fill this thing, what was the point?
Fortunately, when the electricity consumption reached 360,000 degrees, the Scepter of Thunder finally showed a reaction.
It floated in the air, as if guiding the surrounding Thunder Power, like a monarch, making the violent lightning become docile and orderly.
Numerous strange Inscriptions also appeared in the air.
Finally, the electricity consumption stabilized at 469,527 degrees!
Looking at the perfectly formed scepter in the field, Professor Feng felt a surge of excitement.
If it weren’t for the fact that the area outside the building was still in a state of lightning, he would have rushed out immediately to pick up the scepter and test its power.
