Chapter 2295: 2295

From the perspective of the super-tiny mechanical spiders, the inside of every crystal bomb was a bizarre, enticing new world .

The crystal wires that were as thin as hair shimmered in vague light, constituting the veins and bridges of the new world . The chips were constructed on each other in the most believable way and formed complicated mazes . The rune arrays shaped the spiritual energy into different splendid forms and blossomed deep inside the mazes like translucent flowers of energy .

The new world that seemed to be alive was also so sensitive and fragile . Even if it was slightly frozen by the “Jade Dragon Marrow”, it was still like a tower of sand hung by a thread . The whole world might collapse at the slightest touch .

Now, it was time for Li Yao to do his best!

Li Yao took a deep breath inside the cocoon-shaped cabin, and the pores all over his body slowly expanded . Countless tiny bubbles popped up from the nerval buffer liquids . Around the ring on his head, the bubbles evolved into foams and flowed out of the cocoon-shaped cabin .

Li Yao’s telepathic thoughts were boosted to the maximum when they flooded to the nearby hospital like an overwhelming river .

All the super-tiny mechanical spiders jumped agilely at the same time, like phantoms made of crystals dancing crazily on the tip of a saber .

Going deeper and deeper, the mechanical spiders dissected the sensors and the detonation chips of the crystal bombs in absolutely accurate and synchronic movements as if it were a surgery, without even an error of 0 . 01 threads in any movement . While removing the chips, the spiders also needed to further spray “Jade Dragon Marrow” to freeze the deeper parts of the crystal bombs .

While the Jade Dragon Marrow froze the sensors of the crystal bombs, it would also disrupt the telepathic thoughts of remote control . Only a bomb expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage such as Li Yao was capable of doing the operations in such a harsh environment .

Dismantling dozens of crystal bombs was a huge burden on the soul . Even Li Yao had a drop of cold sweat on his forehead .

He was not holding anything in his hands, but veins were protruding on the backs of his hands . His fingers were also trembling, with feeble noises coming from the joints .

“Gotcha…”

Li Yao mumbled . Dozens of scarlet chips vaguely popped up inside his brain, as if he had pushed aside the petals and saw the hidden pistils inside .

They were the central trigger chips of the crystal bombs .

As long as the dozens of central trigger chips were frozen and removed at the same time, it would be possible to prevent the self-destruct devices from being activated .

However—

Li Yao suddenly rolled his eyes quickly, and he vaguely had a sense of danger . He felt that things shouldn’t be so simple .

“The guy who planted the serial crystal bombs must’ve been an expert among experts . The polishing of the shells of the crystal bombs, the deployment of real and false wires, and the structures of the control chips are all flawless . Barely anyone can break such a thorough defense .

“But his methodology seems to be too straightforward . There is not a single trap here at all? It does not befit the style of such an expert .

“There must be something more to it!”

Li Yao stopped at the last moment . Considering carefully, he released the super-tiny mechanical spiders for reconnaissance again .

“If I were in his shoes, how would I have set up such a set of self-destruct device that was of paramount importance?”

Li Yao retrieved the map and the structural graphs of the environment near the anonymous hospital again, considering the problem from the perspective of the designer of the self-destruct device .

The underground city of the capital was teeming with people in the first place . Cave buildings that were like beehives and ant nests could be found in every corner possible .

Since it was a secret institute, there was little room for retreat and counterattack .

Therefore, the room to deploy the self-destruction device was also highly limited . The design couldn’t have been too magnificent .

Most of the crystal bombs had been discovered and controlled by Li Yao . If there was any hidden crystal bomb, it must have been planted in the most vulnerable place on the structure of the anonymous hospital in order to blow up all the evidence . In that case…

“It’s right here!”

Li Yao found the last crystal bomb in an extremely inconspicuous tube below the anonymous hospital .

The crystal bomb was planted in an extremely treacherous place at the axis that supported the entire twenty-seventh district . Once it exploded, it might result in the collapse of the entire underground city . Tremendous rocks and metal structures would fall brutally . Not only would the anonymous hospital and the twenty-seventh district be completely buried, but the underground towns further away would be affected too . Eventually, the whole underground chasm would be buried by the landslide .

If that happened, the innocents that would be buried alive would be more than a hundred thousand!

In order to destroy the evidence, they did not hesitate to drag hundreds of thousands of people to die with them—Li Yao gained a deeper understanding of the brutality of the Immortal Cultivators .

Li Linghai’s team failed to detect the crystal bomb beforehand because it was covered in a shell made of special metal materials and sealed by complicated barriers . Also, it was in the hibernation state itself .

Li Yao investigated for a long time and discovered that the trigger system of the crystal bomb was rather interesting . The dozens of crystal bombs outside would send an extremely feeble wave to it every ten seconds . As long as it received dozens of waves at the same time, it would remain in the hibernation state .

As long as it did not receive the signals from other crystal bombs in time, it would explode immediately without any hesitation, blowing up the supporting axis of the entire underground city and raising a chain reaction to destroy all the crime evidence as well as the lives of hundreds of thousands of people!

Li Yao narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth without him knowing it .

The design of such a vicious self-destruct device alone was a reason good enough for him to catch the monstrous doctor Dongfang Renxin and crush the Dongfang family!

Now that he had found the trigger system of the last crystal bomb, it would be much easier from there .

Li Yao went back and studied the dozens of crystal bombs that he found earlier . As he expected, he discovered a group of tiny signal transmission tubes in the deepest part of the bombs, which would send out a certain wave every ten seconds . Also, the wave from every crystal bomb was different . It seemed to be some sort of code or password .

All the signal transmission chips were connected to the control chips of the crystal bombs . If the control chips were dismantled or terminated, the signal transmission chips would be burnt up at the same time and stop sending the waves .

Due to the urgency, Li Yao did not have the time to simulate dozens of different signals .

Pondering for a moment, he reconstructed the circuits of the spiritual energy of the crystal bombs by cutting the signal transmission chips to the control chips and connecting them to new routes .

It was a way to deceive the signal transmission tubes and mislead them into thinking that they were still connected to the main routes .

After finishing the critical step, Li Yao was finally able to take a long breath in relief and start the final dismantling work .

A hundred and eight super-tiny mechanical spiders were activated at the same time, spinning the “pistils” inside the crystal bombs and plucking all of them .

The self-destruction device was destroyed!

Li Yao leaped up from the cocoon-shaped cabin and spat a mouthful of nerval buffer fluids before grinning .

He gestured Li Jialing to fetch a bowl for him while he turned on the communication channel unhurriedly .

As he expected, the communication channel was filled with the anxious roars of Yue Wushuang, Tu Zhengdao, and the rest of them .

Li Yao smiled and said, “The self-destruct device has been cracked . You may attack boldly without worries now!”

After he said that, the flames and explosions from the anonymous hotel were immediately intensified to a new level .

The secret studies that Dongfang Renxin had been conducting in this place were clandestine and even kept from a lot of people within the Dongfang family .

Therefore, although it was defended by the experts such as the “Thirty-Three Limits”, it was still impossible for Dongfang Renxin to summon a few crystal suit legions to garrison the place openly .

The reformists, on the other hand, had dispatched all the elite troops for the long-prepared arrest, even giving up a lot of bureaus on the ground . They were obviously determined to accomplish their goals .

The impasse between the two parties did not last long when the arrest team of the reformists broke into the gate of the anonymous hospital and pushed further into Dongfang Renxin’s secret institute .

Tremendous pictures inside the secret institute were delivered to Li Yao’s portable crystal processor in real time through the surveillance cameras on the crystal suits of the arrest team, allowing him to get a glimpse at a full picture of the man-eating place .

Inside the frozen containers, all kinds of abnormal, bizarre-shaped organs were soaked inside the suspicious nutrition liquids . There was no telling whether they came from humans or from alien beasts at all .

Many organs were connected to crystal wires, which were fluctuating as if they were alive!

There were also the brains of dozens of human beings that were connected to the bloody spines, the end of which slowly protruded like an egg in the dark gold color, suggesting that they were the brains, spines, and “cores” of the experts in the Core Formation Stage!

The devastating and disgusting pictures made Li Yao feel like vomiting .

The picture was a hundred times more ghastly than the scene he saw in Elder Nether Spring’s laboratory in the Blood Demon Sector where human beings were transformed into demons!

At the end of the secret institute was an operating room .

On two platforms that looked like both operating beds and devilish altars, two young people were lying unconsciously . However, one of them was locked by barriers tightly, unable to move at all .

His skull had been opened, and his brains had obviously shrunk, as if everything inside, from the spiritual root to the soul, had been pumped away and transmitted to the brains of the other young person .

The other young man, who looked rather elegant, was wide-eyed with spreading pupils . He had already died .

It appeared that the procedure was disrupted by the sudden assault at the most critical moment . Something wrong happened to the young man who was being purged and reborn . He was killed abruptly, and there was even no time to bring away his body .

“Haha . The Dongfang family is truly screwed this time!”

Tu Zhengdao’s delighted laughter echoed from the communication channel . “We have discovered a dozen experts of the Li, Yun, and Song families from the secret institute . All of them have been transformed into training materials and samples . Quite a few of them were reported to have gone missing mysteriously on the battlefields . Also, this is just the tip of the iceberg . Even more samples, materials, and files that they failed to destroy have fallen into our hands . It seems that there are thousands of victims in this place . Let’s see how Dongfang Wang and Dongfang Renxin are going to explain themselves to the four families!”
