Chapter 480: Fishing Plan (2)
The pillar of light on the tall watchtower behind the wall scanned the vicinity of the base and checked the surrounding situation.
Arriving at the metal door, Feng Qi took out his ID card from his pocket. Beep!
After the card was swiped, the green light scanned his body, and the metal door slowly opened.
It was already late at night, but the Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute’s sub-base was still brightly lit.
It was the same for every research inst.i.tute.
It worked non-stop for 24 hours. The researchers did not have fixed working hours.
Typically, upon waking, they would engage in work and rest when fatigue set in.
There were also frequent instances where researchers didn’t take a break for an entire day and night.
For example, when inspiration struck.
If they couldn’t doc.u.ment their inspiration, there was a high chance they wouldn’t be able to recapture the feeling of inspiration, potentially leading to a missed opportunity for spell innovation.
After pa.s.sing through two security checks, he entered the Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute’s sub-base.
A moment later, Feng Qi returned to his room.
Sitting on the bed, he looked down at the Miracle Bracelet on his left wrist.
This bracelet appeared to be composed of pure energy. A green stream of light extended with a long tail, swirling around the center to create the bracelet.
After thinking for a moment, he stood up and dragged out the metal box under the bed that contained the memory-erase potion.
After unlocking and opening it, he placed the Miracle Bracelet inside.
To him, who was on the sacrifice timeline, the effect of the Miracle Bracelet was almost useless.
It was too eye-catching to wear, so it was better to put it away for the time being.
On the way back, he had considered sending the Miracle Bracelet to the Scarlet Research Inst.i.tute to be stored and handed over to his other self 1,500 years later.
This way, his other self could obtain another miracle item without any effort.
The plan to use the Miracle Bracelet as a medium to transmit power could also be tested.
But after thinking about it carefully, he gave up on this idea for now.
If he wanted to continue this timeline, he needed to stay by the owner of the fog’s side.
Seeing that he was not wearing the Miracle Bracelet, the owner of the fog would be puzzled and ask where the Miracle Bracelet was.
If he could not answer this question, it would affect the subsequent development of this timeline.
Therefore, keeping the Miracle Bracelet by his side was the best choice at this stage.
He pushed the metal cylinder containing the items into the metal box. With the sound of metal colliding, the box automatically locked. The three red lights above switched to green in refrigeration mode.
He pushed the metal box back under the bed.
After washing up, he turned off the lights and lay on the bed with his eyes closed.
From the moment he returned to Star City, the future of history was no longer clear. He could only take it one step at a time.
As he was thinking about his worries, sleepiness overwhelmed him.
He lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
The next day, when he woke up, he met Lin Ran at the cafeteria of the sub-base.
During the meal, they did not talk about him applying for leave last night.
When Feng Qi returned to the laboratory, he explained the situation without waiting for Lin Ran to ask.
When he learned that the owner of the fog had given him the Miracle Bracelet, Lin Ran was also shocked.
“Brother Qi, if not for your differing perspectives, the two of you might have truly become friends.”
Hearing this, Feng Qi could not help but nod.
After so many years of interaction, we can be considered friends. However, our perspectives are fated to be on opposite sides. The path it wants to take is also one of my obstacles.”
Lin Ran didn’t say anything and just nodded silently.
After explaining the situation, they talked about how to investigate the higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute.
The owner of the fog said that it would investigate when it arrived. It felt that he was only an experimenter who had just joined the Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute. He did not have any influence or authority and could not investigate anything.
If he acted rashly, he would alert them.
But the owner of the fog didn’t know that he had Lin Ran by his side.
Lin Ran’s status in the Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute was unique.
He had become the founder of a spell school at a young age and had a transcendent status in the entire spell world.
In terms of popularity, it was something that no spells or cultivation techniques researchers in the Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute could reach.
While he hadn’t reached the core executive level yet, the Tiger Soul Research
Inst.i.tute would essentially meet Lin Ran’s requests.
This time, investigating the higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute was deemed impossible. He hoped that the hidden domain factions might take the initiative to reveal themselves.
During the discussion, Feng Qi raised an idea.
They needed to throw out a bait to lure the possible hidden domain factions into it.
And this bait had to be attractive enough.
Since there might be a behind-the-scenes domain faction controlling the Tiger
Soul Research Inst.i.tute for the sake of researching spells, he would give them a big show first.
Then, he would use this bait to lure the “fox” to reveal its tail.
As the discussion continued, the plan was gradually perfected.
That night, they decided to officially carry out this plan.
Before that, Feng Qi called the owner of the fog first.
The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up.
Noisy voices came from the other end of the phone, making Feng Qi realize that the owner of the fog seemed to be outside.
“Where are you now?” At the thought of this, he could not help but ask curiously.
”I’m dancing in a club. I don’t comprehend why moving one’s head can bring joy to these humans.”
Realizing that the owner of the fog was experiencing human life again, he was speechless. Then, he said.
“Let’s find a place to talk.”
“Just a moment.”
The noise on the phone gradually faded away..
