On the morning of the 24th, Gao Ang and Xiao Hua returned to Changying Island, where Qian Sui and his brothers came out to greet them.
Still no movement?
"No, it's like he's dead."
Where is Lillian?
"There was no movement either. Neither facial recognition nor skeleton recognition could find any trace of it."
Rubbing the corners of his eyes, Gao Ang felt a bit overwhelmed.
Are all these people so damn afraid of dying?
You're supposed to be a big family, right? Where's your honor and self-respect as vampires? Have they all been eaten by dogs?
I didn't do anything to you guys, did I? And you just vanished without a trace?
"No, we can't just sit here and wait to die if we do nothing."
Gao Ang decided to take the initiative.
When he hovered above the Dort family castle, he did not notice anything different about the place.
The same underground space, the same equipment and instruments, but this underground space has no coffins.
Not only did they not have coffins, but they also had a lot more scientific research equipment and laboratories, even more than the Bethel family.
A large group of people were busy inside. The subjects of their experiments were not the vampires that Gao Feng had imagined, but many things he had never seen before.
"Your Majesty, I've hacked into the Dort family's independent network. Quickly copy their data and see what kind of stuff it is."
Some information isn't available online, so Gao Feng has to treat himself like a scanner...
Everything that could be seen and heard was copied to Qian Sui without missing a single word.
During the copying process, Gao Feng seemed to gradually understand something.
"Holy crap, these guys' technology is that advanced?"
They've already produced 1nm silicon-based chips... Isn't this the Bethel family's patent? How did it end up in the Dort family's hands?
The flu vaccine has been developed... but why isn't it being distributed?
Besides these, Gao Feng also discovered other things.
For example, there are viruses that have symptoms that are very similar to those of common diseases. These viruses are not just one type, but multiple types.
Black Death, Plague...
Gao Feng also discovered a manuscript on relativity, and the timestamp on this manuscript predates Einstein's birth year...
Not only is there relativity, but also alternating current, direct current...
There are also design sketches of the steam engine...
There are so many things that completely overturn Gao Yuan's understanding of history.
"It's a complete mess, a total mess!"
James Watt built the first practical steam engine in 1776.
After a series of major improvements, it became a "universal prime mover" and was widely used in industry. It ushered in a new era of energy utilization for mankind, leading humanity into the "steam age".
To commemorate this great inventor, later generations named the unit of power "watt".
In other words, the steam engine appeared around the 1770s, but the timestamp on the manuscript is from the 1720s!
In other words, if this manuscript is genuine, the theoretical invention time of the steam engine is at least half a century earlier than what is said in textbooks!
"This is the biggest lie of the century!"
Gao Ang suddenly had a bold guess, but he wasn't very sure.
"Looks like I'll have to have a good chat with my friends underground!"
Gao Yang at this moment could be described as extremely excited.
He felt that he had discovered the truth of history.
With a partial reduction in the force field, it crashed into Dort Castle at a semi-free-fall speed.
This time, he didn't hesitate and kicked open the partition between the underground space and the castle.
Immediately, the alarm sounded throughout the entire castle.
"Annoying!"
With a wave of his hand, all the alarms shattered instantly, and the entire castle fell silent immediately.
Of course, it wasn't particularly quiet; screams and shouts were still everywhere, but they seemed insignificant compared to the blaring alarms.
Upon seeing the intruders, the guards surrounding the underground space immediately rushed up.
They were all carrying strange weapons, which were actually just flashlights.
Before they even got close to Gao Ang, they all pointed their flashlights at him.
"What's wrong? Are you all blind? The lights are so bright."
Before he finished speaking, more than a dozen beams of bright white light shot out from the flashlights and shone on Gao Ang.
At that moment, Gao Ang finally felt a burning sensation.
As time went by, the burning sensation gradually intensified.
According to his estimation, the temperature around a certain bright spot on the surface of his skin could be as high as 3000°.
It was only then that he realized this wasn't a flashlight at all; it was a handheld laser weapon!
If a broken wall flashlight can emit lasers with temperatures of over 3,000 degrees Celsius, wouldn't it be even more terrifying if people were armed with it?
Now that he knew what these things were, Gao Ang lost all interest in continuing to play.
A thought flashed through his mind, and the group of people surrounding him were sent flying, their flashlights falling to the ground.
Gao Ang picked one up and shot it at the wall, and a red dot immediately appeared on it.
It was a red-hot steel plate, which even showed signs of liquefaction.
"Wow, these people are just too...unbelievable!"
These things, if taken outside, would cause a global sensation.
But now they are silently hiding in this underground space, and he really doesn't know what these people are up to.
After dealing with the group of low-level henchmen, another group of mid-level henchmen ran out from inside.
They are called "middle-ranking henchmen" because they are a size larger than ordinary people.
From height to weight to body shape, he's almost twice the normal size.
"Damn, giants?"
After observing them, Gao Ang found that their genetic makeup was exactly the same as that of ordinary people, and he did not find any particularly strange components.
It's like a normal person who has been magnified.
"Last time it was a laser weapon, what will it be this time?"
To be honest, Gao Ang was a little curious.
When these people pointed something resembling a small radar at themselves, Gao Feng seemed to understand.
"I'm such a disgrace, old strategist!"
That's right, this group used infrasound!
It turned out to be infrasound, which he was very familiar with.
Moreover, they even mastered a method to avoid infrasound, and the principle was exactly the same as the one he came up with.
It's even more advanced than his infrasound weapon; the latter has area-of-effect (AOE) damage, while his crappy weapon can only target individual targets.
After dealing with the giants, Gao Ang picked up a small radar, intending to conduct another test.
"Huh, something's wrong?"
After the switch was turned on, the small radar did not emit infrasound waves again.
After a quick inspection, Gao Feng knew the reason: the sound source was damaged.
"I knew it! How could you possibly be more awesome than me?"
He casually tossed the small radar aside and continued walking downhill.
After these two failed attempts to stop them, the commanders finally realized something was wrong.
They probably knew that Gao Feng was an unstoppable formidable opponent.
In a large hall in the underground space, Gao Feng and a group of people stood at opposite ends.
The person leading the group was bald, but his bald head was decorated in a gaudy way, resembling a pot lid, and covered with all sorts of strange and unusual patterns.
"Who are you, sir? Isn't it a bit too much to cause trouble for the Dort family?"
"Are you a wizard?"
Gao Ang gave an irrelevant answer; he had only one purpose in coming here, which was to study those wizards.
Now there is another purpose: to uncover the truth of history.
Hua Guangtou was stunned. He didn't expect Gao Ang to ignore him like this. "Does it matter whether I'm a wizard or not?"
"Of course it's important. Only if you are qualified to talk to me. If not, get out of here and find a wizard to talk to me."
On the surface, they appear nonchalant, but in reality, they are fully prepared.
Because he didn't see fear in the eyes of this bald man.
What is he? He's a monster!
Laser weapons couldn't kill him, and he destroyed infrasound weapons one by one. What else could such a person be but a monster?
Any normal person, upon seeing such a scene, would either run away immediately or beg for mercy, right?
But this guy, and all the people around him, none of them ran away.
Judging from their demeanor, it seems like they're watching a play.
Yes, he was just watching the show, and he deliberately kept his distance from the two of them.
"Sir, don't you feel... a little sleepy...? Look at the light above your head..."
The murmured words came from the bald man's mouth. He looked up at the light and asked, "Nothing special?"
"Don't you think these lights... are sacred lights?... blended... beautiful... like a mother's embrace... warm... compassionate..."
Upon hearing the word "mother," Gao Ang was genuinely momentarily dazed.
He thought of his childhood, in the dead of winter, when there was no heating or air conditioning, and only his mother's embrace was the warmest.
"Sleep...sleep..."
To be honest, listening to that rousing music actually made me a little sleepy.
This was the first time he had felt tired since his mutation.
He had previously forced himself to fall asleep; his body cells did not tell him, "I am tired, I need to rest."
This time was different; it seemed like all the cells in his body wanted to go into hibernation, to go on strike.
Just as his consciousness was about to drift off to sleep, Gao Ang suddenly woke up with a start, "Wait a minute, you're hypnotizing me!"
The bald man opposite him only showed a hint of surprise before looking down at his own chest.
There was a flashlight there that went straight through his chest X-ray, shattering his heart into pieces.
"you……"
He made a few grabbing motions in the air with his left hand, and then the bald man collapsed with a thud.
"Damn it, you're trying to hypnotize me? Looks like you're one of the wizards, aren't you?"
According to Biob, a wizard's abilities are primarily manifested in the unknown.
He had never seen it before, but the bald man's abilities just proved that point.
Hypnosis, after all, is something that can't be seen or touched, so Biob's statement isn't wrong.
The cheering crowd had already scattered and fled. Gao Ang was too lazy to catch any lackeys and rushed straight to the bottom floor.
They really charged through, sending people flying and doors shattering!
One thing that puzzled him slightly was that the two people at the bottom were very calm, completely ignoring the chaotic crowd around them, and quietly carrying out their experiments on their own.
Apart from a few assistants still helping out, the last underground level was almost completely depleted.
This made Gao Ang a little suspicious; his demeanor clearly indicated that he was fearless.
He wouldn't believe these two didn't have some trump card.
He didn't believe the two men were unaware of what was happening outside. Although the surveillance screen in front of them was black, Gao Feng hadn't stopped his men from tipping them off.
Gao Ang searched carefully for a long time but found nothing unusual.
"His brain is fried... That guy just used hypnosis, which is a mental attack. Logically speaking, these two should have the same ability..."
After making a self-deprecating remark, Gao Ang cautiously approached the laboratory little by little.
Despite the short distance, Gao Yuan was exceptionally cautious.
He was fully focused, paying close attention to every movement around him.
As soon as he stepped into the laboratory, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
He could clearly feel an inexplicable energy attacking the cells of his cerebral cortex.
It can't be called an attack, but rather a seduction, a seduction that entices his neurons to resonate at some peculiar frequency.
It's like... in a bar, he was quietly drinking when suddenly someone played a DJ track, and his body involuntarily started to sway.
What terrified Gao Feng was that he couldn't control this cellular-level resonance.
As the neurons resonated, he discovered that the full-force field had lost some of its function.
He originally intended to smash those two guys against the wall, but his will was roused, yet it was all in vain.
The expected scenario of the two flying together did not occur; the two continued their experiment with unusual busyness.
The test tube in my hand was still swaying, and the flame of the alcohol lamp was still flickering.
Do you feel like you can't move?
One of the male voices came over; it was soft, but loud enough to be heard clearly.
He could even hear the "pop" sound of burning alcohol and smell all sorts of other odors.
I tried to move my feet, but they wouldn't budge.
"Would you like to remove your mask yourself, or shall we do it for you?"
One of them put down the test tube in his hand and came to a short distance in front of Gao Ang.
"Oh, I forgot, Your Excellency is currently unable to move. It was my presumption... Well then, I will take the liberty of showing you just how invulnerable you are."
As the approaching person's hand drew closer to the mask, Gao Feng's heart grew increasingly restless.
Since the mutation, he has never felt so frustrated.
The last time was Robert, who awkwardly jumped into a ditch and had a close encounter with all sorts of garbage.
This time, the situation was even more serious than before. He had lost control of his body and turned into a piece of fat fish, lying on the chopping board at the mercy of others.
"Damn it, I was careless. It seems there are still loopholes in the full-force field!"
The mask was removed from his face, and the newcomer suddenly paused, "Oh ho, you have an Asian face. Let me guess..."
The newcomer, holding a mask, began circling Gao Ang, muttering something under his breath.
"An Eastern face... exceptional abilities... coupled with the recent upheaval in the Bethel family... and my previous great prophecy... if I'm not mistaken, you must be the mysterious figure who killed Biob, right?"
"Who are you?"
Suddenly, Gao Ang discovered that he could speak.
Now that he can speak, does that mean the two wizards are less restrictive towards him?
I coughed twice, and my respiratory system seemed fine; I tried to move my arms and legs, but I still couldn't...
"Who am I? I am the wizard you are looking for. Let me formally introduce myself: Natren, and this is my partner and close friend, Hart."
Natren performed a Western aristocratic ceremony before picking up a small stick from the table.
"Actually, I noticed something was off the day Biob disappeared. I knew a great terror was coming for me, so I ran away from the Bethel family beforehand. Unfortunately, those idiots who love drinking stinking blood ignored my advice and even said things like 'noble vampires are invincible'... Luckily, I ran fast, otherwise, would I have... in your Eastern language, followed in their footsteps?"
"Don't be surprised how I know you're from the East, because I possess great prophetic abilities!"
Natren muttered to himself for a while, like a chatterbox, not giving Gao Ang a chance to speak at all.
"I have no ill intentions; I just want to uncover some of the truth."
He started his deception, Gao Yang.
"Oh?" Natren poked Gao Gao's body directly with that little stick. "Hmm, it's pretty hard. What are you wearing?"
Instead of answering Gao's question, Natren reached out and touched him again.
As the hand drew ever closer, Gao Ang could no longer contain himself. He opened his mouth and let out a soft infrasound wave at a predetermined frequency.
Before coming down, he had already observed that the vibration frequencies of all the organs here were about the same, which meant that infrasound was equally effective for them.
Sure enough, everyone in the lab, including Natron and Hart, was writhing on the floor in agony.
But as they began to roll around, the inexplicable rules that bound them suddenly disappeared.
The situation immediately reversed; Gao Ang snatched the small stick from Natren's hand and glanced at it:
"Its hardness is pretty good, almost as hard as carbide. I just don't know whether you're harder or this stick is harder."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Gao Ang stuck the stick into Natren's calf.
"Aww!"
With a mournful cry, Natren let out a deafening scream.
"What the hell? Are you even a man? Why are you yelling like that?"
The mournful cry startled Gao Ang, who was squatting next to him. He never expected that a wizard could be so fragile.
It's just a hole in my leg with a stick stuck in it, is it really that big of a deal?
"Oh, sorry, the infrasound was a bit too powerful. I reckon you're about to kick the bucket, right?"
After examining it with X-ray, I found that the guy was still alive, with some minor ruptures in his internal organs. He shouldn't die anytime soon.
Normally, Gao Ang would never have used such force, because he still had many questions that this guy needed to answer.
But his loss of control just now made him nervous and scared, so he hit a little bit harder...
After spending some time, Gao Ang repaired Natren's internal injuries to a considerable extent. "Stop pretending to be dead and answer my questions."
"How many wizards do you have left?"
What are your abilities?
What is the scientific basis for your capabilities?
What about those manuscripts?
"What other secrets do the Dort and Bethel families hold?"
"Most importantly, are there any other monsters like you on Earth?"
Gao Ang stepped on Natren's neck and asked a series of questions, word by word, "Think carefully before you speak. If I'm not satisfied with your answers, there might be a few more holes in other parts of your body."
