Li Yao stared at Professor Luo De. His telepathic thoughts crawled into the professor's brain through his pupils. 32?? Sensing the shivering of his every brainwave carefully, Li Yao stared at him for half a minute. Then, he snapped his fingers softly, and the deep blue ray of light that was only half a millimeter away from the professor's eyeballs finally retreated.
Professor Luo De took a long breath in relief. The permissions to control all the pores on his face returned to his central nerves. He was finally able to squeeze out the cold sweat on his forehead.
"Alright. I'll believe you for now. I'll believe that you really know nothing and that you are just a tool to be manipulated."
Still staring at Professor Luo De's eyes, Li Yao said coldly, "Tell me. Are you 100% convinced that Captain Tang has defected and degenerated into an Immortal Cultivator?"
Professor Luo De's eyeballs shivered, with intense confusion beaming out of them. He struggled to reply, "I don't know."
"What if I tell you that Captain Tang is probably wronged," Li Yao said, "and that the real Immortal Cultivators are Speaker Cui Lingfeng, Cheng Xuansu, the head of the secret police, and Ding Zhengyang, one or all of them, and that you have been fooled by them, and that everything you have done will likely lead to the complete fall of Firefly into the hands of the Immortal Cultivators or even the arrival of the Black Wind Fleet in advance. Will you believe me?"
Professor Luo De immediately bulged his eyes. The bloodshot streaks inside his eyes were almost jumping out like flames. "… No!"
"I can't show you the critical evidence, either," Li Yao said. "I can't even tell you who I am. I can only assure you that I am a Cultivator, too, and I want to stop the arrival of the Immortal Cultivators! But to stop the Immortal Cultivators, I need your cooperation! "
Professor Luo De hesitated for a long time before he struggled to say, "I — I don't know. What do you want me to do? I'm just an ordinary Weapon Refiner! "
"I know."
Li Yao smiled. "What I want you to do is very simple. You are the best super-tiny engraving specialist on Firefly, and you know a lot about the production and dismantling of tiny magical equipment. Therefore, after the scarlet ball with remarkable craftsmanship was discovered, it was delivered to your place for study, right?"
Professor Luo De nodded. "Yes, so what?"
Li Yao continued unhurriedly, "This blood-red bead is an extremely important piece of evidence. It definitely won't stay with you for long. Instead, it will be sent to a more important person after you finish your analysis, right?"
"It's true that Cheng Xuansu asked me to complete the analysis report of the scarlet bead as soon as possible," Professor Luo De said. "Then, she will send someone to pick it up. As for who exactly it will be delivered to, I don't know."
Li Yao said, "Okay, now I will let go of the control authority of your hands. You will continue to work as usual and continue to complete the analysis report. Then use your usual method to disassemble and reassemble this little bead from beginning to end and show it to me."
"Right. There must be the experiment logs of your daily refining records here, right? Show me all the videos. I want to see what your hands look like when you are performing ultra-precise engraving. "
"Let me see … the jade chip storage cabinet over there. The size is very suitable. After everything is done, I will stuff you into that cabinet and lock your nerves and spiritual veins with barriers. Then, I will cover your entire body with a metal film that will block all spiritual waves and heat detection, but I will leave you with enough oxygen. You will not be able to move or shout for three days and three nights. Don't worry, this is a normal phenomenon. After three days, you will be free again. There will not be any sequelae."
"By then, if Captain Tang and your student Tang Xiaoxing are proven to be innocent and Cheng Xuansu is the real Immortal Cultivator, I will stand out and testify for you, too. I will prove that you have nothing to do with the whole thing and that you almost made a great mistake because you were deceived by Cheng Xuansu and Ding Zhengyang!
"What I want you to do is as simple as that. Do you agree?"
Every wrinkle on Professor Luo De's face was shivering violently. After hesitating for a long time, he still found it hard to believe. "Is — is Chief Mate Ding really an Immortal Cultivator?"
"I don't know, either."
Li Yao replied honestly. "But as long as you cooperate with me, we will figure out who the real Immortal Cultivator is very soon."
Professor Luo De was moved by his words. He nodded slowly. "… Alright. I'll cooperate with you."
It took Professor Luo De two hours to complete the analysis report. He then carefully disassembled and assembled the blood-red bead.
Li Yao, on the other hand, had basically figured out Professor Luo De's style of refining, the movements of his hands, and the idioms that he used when he wrote the report, through the abundant videos, experiment logs, and the way he wrote the analysis report.
Two hours later, when the old officer knocked on the door, there was only one 'Professor Luo De' left in the refining workshop.
Naturally, it was the one that Li Yao played.
"Professor Luo De, have you finished the analysis report?"
The old officer stood before Li Yao with his hands on his back, not having the slightest suspicion.
"Yes. This is a real masterpiece. A marvelous work of art. A priceless treasure!"
Li Yao glared at him and waved his hands in front of the old officer, as if he were fascinated. "Look. Such a delicate structure of seven floors and such marvelous carving technology. This is almost —"
"Well, Professor Luo."
The old officer coughed. "If you have finished the analysis report, I will take the item and the report away now. This is an urgent matter that concerns the safety of Firefly."
"Alright!"
Li Yao sniffed, with regret written all over his face. Thinking for a moment, he asked again, "After you read it, can you send it back so that I can continue my studies? It is too beautiful, too delicate, and too unbelievable. I'm going to study every rune array and the different materials on every floor carefully! "
"About that …"
Pondering for a moment, the old officer nodded and said, "Professor Luo is one of the best specialists of super-tiny carving on board. I believe that the ball will be sent back to Professor Luo for further studies in the end, won't it?"
"That's good!"
Li Yao pushed the blood-red ball over from the table.
But this time, it was stored in a cylinder that had metal rings at both ends and bright green liquid inside.
"I don't want to completely destroy its structure."
Li Yao explained, "But the rune arrays inside are too precise and mysterious. Common 'block gels' might not be enough to stop it from sending and receiving telepathic thoughts. It's better to preserve it with the 'super gel' and the 'wave blocker' that I have here. Be careful. Don't let it fall to the ground, or it will suffer intense quakes."
The old officer nodded and took the metal cylinder with both hands respectfully, taking it away together with the jade chip that contained the analysis report.
Li Yao was still wearing the expression of reluctance and regret on his face. It was not until three seconds after the door of the refining workshop was closed that his expression suddenly changed. He took out his tactical crystal processor and activated the light beam.
Bo … Bo … Bo …
A red spot was moving slowly at the center of the light beam. As the vague redness spread out, the precise structure of all the channels and cabins nearby, as well as the passersby, were all scanned!
Furthermore, according to the intensity of the heartbeat and breathing of the passersby, it was even possible to tell whether they were civilians or Cultivators, civil servants or well-trained warriors!
As the red spot gradually moved toward the core, the heart of Firefly was gradually unveiled in front of Li Yao. There were no more secrets to be kept!
Naturally, such powerful scanning and localization rune arrays could not have been carved into a blood-red ball that was no more than three millimeters in diameter. Even if Li Yao's refining skills were three times better, it would still be impossible for him to accomplish such a difficult task.
Therefore, he had installed the scanning chips and the localization rune arrays into the metal cylinder that was used to 'seal' the blood-red ball.
The metal cylinder was as thick as a baby's arm. It was enough to hide all the chips and rune arrays that he needed, as well as the marrow crystals that could drive them.
It was true that the blood-red ball was just a bait. It was a piece of magical equipment that 'looked awesome'. However, because it was too small, the marrow crystals that were as tiny as dust at the center of the cylinder were not enough to trigger intense spiritual waves at all. Therefore, even if a lot of intelligence was detected, it was unlikely that it could be launched to the outside world through the thick cabin walls and the shell of the starship.
The ultimate purpose of implanting such a blood-red ball into Tang Xiaoxing's throat was to deliver the metal cylinder that was large enough into the enemy's heart!
Li Yao sat on Professor Luo De's swivel chair comfortably. He tapped his feet on the desk and whistled softly before he turned on the communication channel.
"The 'rod' has been delivered."
Li Yao smiled. "With the precision and technology of the blood-red ball that I produced, and with the analysis report written by Professor Luo, I believe that the 'rod' will certainly be delivered to the culprit of the whole incident. Chances are that the culprit will even bring the 'rod' to Captain Tang and interrogate him about the information about the blood-red ball.
"After all, we are the fourth force other than the Immortal Cultivators, Firefly, and the Xing Yao Federation. To this moment, nobody knows of our existence at all!
"If a culprit does exist, it is very likely that the culprit will consider the person who tried to rescue Tang Xiaoxing to be Captain Tang's trump card. He will certainly try to figure out the truth about the trump card.
"Of course, if Captain Tang is the culprit himself, he will certainly be very interested in the blood-red ball of mysterious origins, too.
