"For us, the investigation is not just about the mage who summoned water elementals at this science and technology innovation biotechnology press conference."

There are also reasons for the current situation in London. Has London always had its unique characteristics, or has it only become like this in recent years?

And why it has become like this, what is the fundamental reason for London's uniqueness?

After Wiles finished speaking, Werner added, "And who taught magic to these people?"

This is a completely different system from Merlin's magic.

We have a lot of work to do lately, so perhaps we could seek Merlin's help.

"Is it possible that Merlin was behind this?"

"It's unlikely; he has no motive to do that."

"For Merlin, if he only saw Earth as his private laboratory, we were the research assistants he selected."

London was the subject of his experiment; he used the entire city of London for a large-scale experiment, whether it was a social experiment or a magical experiment.

"I personally think it's possible," Jürgen added.

Pierre's eyes revealed sadness: "How extravagant, using the entire planet Earth as his private laboratory."

Jürgen chuckled and said, "Isn't that normal?"

In the past, it was not uncommon for Japan and Germany to use Third World countries as testing grounds and conduct large-scale human experiments.

That's what being backward is like. The gap between our civilization and magical civilization is even greater than that between them and third-world countries.

Even what our biopharmaceutical giants have been doing in third-world countries in recent years—the outside world may not know, but don't we?

Jürgen was a key figure in the second generation of the Frankfurt School of Marxism, and he was adept at using terms like "Third World countries."

Pierre replied directly, "I'm sorry, I really don't know much about it."

Mathematicians tend to think more about metaphysical things, mostly relying on logical deduction, and have a certain sense of detachment from the material world.

Philosophers, on the other hand, have a need to guide the real world, and therefore pay more attention to specific things.

Wiles, not wanting the atmosphere to become too tense, interrupted, "Regardless of whether this incident is related to Merlin or not."

"It's unlikely we'll be able to find the person who taught the magic, because after investigating Charles, the first new mage to be identified as the person who posted on Facebook, we found out..."

There is no such thing as a dark web. All his internet devices have undergone a thorough investigation by technicians, and his usage records show that no dark web exists.

White asked doubtfully, "Is he lying? Or did he delete the data?"

Wiles explained, "We conducted cross-examinations with several of the most professional criminal psychology practitioners and also added physiological indicator tests."

Based on the above, it can be concluded that the other party is not lying, unless they have extremely good psychological qualities and no one can detect anything unusual, but the probability of this is too small.

The technicians also had no problem; due to the short timeframe, they didn't have time to clean up much of the data, let alone deal with any physical damage.

Therefore, the data was 100% recovered.

According to the timeframe provided by the other party, the dark web access records do not show any of the websites they mentioned.

We are currently applying for a professional lie detection device based on brain-computer interface technology in China.

Once the equipment arrives, Charles will be questioned again regarding the relevant issues.

China has published papers on its lie detector devices and has exported the systems to some ASEAN countries.

Based on feedback from various countries, the results have been quite good.

It's not that developed countries don't want it, but that China simply refuses to sell it.

Japan and Korea expressed their desire to import lie detector equipment through diplomatic channels long ago, but China firmly refused.

They only sold to some ASEAN countries.

China has not even sold lie detector equipment to its eastern allies, in order to prevent them from using it in internal struggles.

Once the East gets lie detector equipment, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the internal power struggles will be unstoppable.

When China refused, many people in the East breathed a sigh of relief.

The willingness to sell a lie detector to England is also due to significant concessions made by the Europa League behind England.

"A lie detector? That thing that Zheng Guo came up with?"

"Yes, we paid a rather high price."

"Actually, it's not too bad. In the field of life-extending drugs, the Chinese have also made due contributions. Without their cooperation, we could not have developed life-extending drugs so quickly."

Yes, through cooperation between the Europa League and China, they developed a life-extending drug with lower efficacy based on the life-extending drug provided by Merlin.

The effects typically last between one and two years, and there are clear and relevant human tests proving that the effects are real and effective.

The definition of life extension here refers to the extension of human lifespan, not the slowing of aging as traditionally practiced on Earth.

"If all else fails, we'll release the news of the successful development of the longevity potion and divert attention from the London magical incident."

"We were going to release the news about the life-extending drug anyway, it was just a matter of time, and it's good to do it a little earlier."

"Yes, no planes were allowed to take off or land in the whole of London, and they weren't even allowed to fly over London. If there hadn't been other news to cover it up, this would have generated a lot of buzz."

It's inevitable that outsiders will speculate about something.

"Now that we've reached a consensus on this point, and following the reactions from Downing Street and Brussels, what we need to consider now is how to find the person who summoned the water elemental and uncover the truth about the magic."
