Chapter 606: Interferon
On the other side, Blue Star had been living in constant fear lately.
Ever since knowing about the ant theory, Director Wang and others felt that even if they managed to cast the altar, it still wouldn't affect divine power at all.
How could the tricks within an ant's cognition possibly threaten humans?
It was as if ants thought a large rock was extremely difficult to cross, and so, they united to mobilize hundreds or even thousands of rocks in front of the deity's door.
The next day, when the deity opened the door, they looked at the ground full of rubble and fell into deep thought.
So, regarding the altar near the Nika Tribe, other measures must be taken.
Meanwhile, at that moment, an unexpected discovery gave them a glimmer of hope.
During a serendipitous experiment, they discovered a special substance, which seemed to interfere with or even weaken divine powers.
Director Wang promptly organized a dedicated research team, whose mission was to conduct an in-depth analysis and study of this special substance.
This substance was temporarily named "Interferon."
Because it seemingly had peculiar effects that could interfere with or even weaken supernatural powers.
In the laboratory, a group of scientists gathered around a sealed transparent container, which held a piece of faintly glowing mineral, this was their accidental discovery, the "Interferon."
They tested it with all kinds of precision instruments, recording every data point, every experiment was thoroughly recorded and analyzed.
"Look here, every time we bring the 'Interferon' near samples influenced by Sun Wei's power, the energy index of the samples shows a significant drop."
One scientist pointed at the data curve on the screen, excitedly speaking to Director Wang.
Indeed, they had invited Sun Wei. Even if they couldn't contact the deity for now, they used Sun Wei's peculiar power as a sample for experiments.
Director Wang furrowed his brow, knowing that this could be the key to combating unknown creatures.
He ordered to intensify the research while dispatching more teams to search for potential "Interferon" mineral veins.
At this moment, a researcher suddenly shouted loudly.
"Director Wang, during the analysis of 'Interferon's molecular structure, we found some anomalous patterns strikingly similar to runes we discovered in some ancient ruins!"
"Ancient ruins?" Director Wang frowned: "Speak plainly, what ruins?"
"Pyramids!"
Pyramids?
This discovery instantly heightened the tension within the laboratory.
If the "Interferon" is truly related to the pyramids, then they may be the key intersection of human civilization and mysterious powers.
Director Wang immediately ordered to report this finding to higher authorities and requested more resources to support this research.
He knew that if the secrets of the "Interferon" could be unlocked, humanity might find a glimmer of hope in the fight against these unknown creatures.
Director Wang lightly tapped his fingers on the desk, his gaze lingering between documents and screens, while the researcher's words echoed in his mind.
Pyramids...
Indeed an ancient and mysterious symbol.
It has always been the focal point of studies for scientists and explorers.
However, despite the tremendous progress in modern technology, many secrets of the pyramids remain unsolved mysteries.
"What if we let Sun Wei in?" Director Wang muttered to himself, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
Sun Wei, possessing an enigmatic body, her sixth sense far exceeded ordinary people, perhaps she could perceive secrets unreachable by technological means.
Director Wang knew this was a gamble, most notably, he felt it would be unfair to Jiang Xiao.
Perhaps, using the opportunity to inform Jiang Xiao and see if he would allow his wife to venture into the pyramid?
Even if the cost was high, they needed to take this risk under the current circumstances.
....
Soon, Jiang Xiao received the message from Director Wang.
Blue Star wanted Sun Wei to enter the pyramid, where there might be forces that could restrain It?
As for who It was, Director Wang couldn't explicitly say, but Jiang Xiao understood that It referred to the deity.
After a slight hesitation, Jiang Xiao felt such matters shouldn't be his to question.
"I don't want her to go, but if she insists on going, I won't be upset."
Everyone is their own person, Jiang Xiao had no right to make decisions for others.
If Sun Wei didn't want to go and he suggested she should, it wouldn't be right.
Conversely, if Sun Wei wanted to contribute to this crisis and Jiang Xiao didn't want her to, that would also be an unpleasant act.
After gaining Jiang Xiao's approval, Director Wang breathed a sigh of relief.
He decisively picked up the phone and dialed Sun Wei's number.
"Sun Wei, I have a task that might require your special abilities."
Over the phone, Director Wang succinctly explained the relationship between the newly discovered substance and the pyramids to Sun Wei.
Over the phone, Sun Wei's voice was calm and determined.
"Okay, no problem, I'm ready."
....
At the entrance of the pyramid, Sun Wei stood firm, an unusual glimmer shone in her eyes.
Surrounding researchers and security personnel stood aside at a distance.
Actually, Director Wang had dispatched numerous experts and guards, intending for them to accompany Sun Wei into the pyramid, but all were rejected by Sun Wei.
She wanted to go in alone.
Even Mu Xitang and Bai Yi were kept in the dark.
Staring at the ancient structure ahead, Sun Wei took a deep breath.
She could feel her peculiar power surging and fluctuating in front of this ancient building, as if a mysterious resonance was calling to her.
She closed her eyes, allowing her senses to extend outward, and slowly entered the pyramid's interior.
With each step she took inside, her sixth sense became increasingly acute.
The murals and reliefs on the walls were merely Ancient Egyptian artworks to ordinary eyes.
But in Sun Wei's perception, they seemed to come alive, each stroke and line harboring a profound power.
She gently touched the wall, and the runes seemed to emit a faint glow under her touch.
"Director Wang was right; there indeed are energy fluctuations here similar to the ones on that stone."
Sun Wei slightly frowned, her intuition told her things might not be so simple.
She continued to explore cautiously, mindful of possibly triggering any ancient mechanisms.
The deeper she ventured, the more sensitive her peculiar power seemed to become.
She could distinctly sense the energy inherent in each stone, even hear their whisper-like resonance.
Suddenly, she halted her steps.
In an unremarkable corner, she discovered an exceedingly ordinary stone slab.
But due to a strange and eerie intuition, she felt something was amiss with this slab.
The things engraved on it were...
