Chapter 296 Wei Xin: Don't Be Superstitious About Science
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Chi Ri greeted his subordinates in a friendly manner, then shifted his gaze from the documents he couldn't understand to the faces of the other four people, where he paused slightly in surprise.
He read different meanings in the eyes of the four people. First was Cynthia, whose eyes were indifferent, as if she was not interested in him or the people around her.
Nemo stared intently at the Poké Balls on the waists of the other people around her, and the Pokémon beside them. Her eyes were burning with desire, and she was eager to try. If she wasn't a hidden Team Rocket member looking for an opportunity to steal other people's Pokémon, there was only one possibility.
She wanted to get into a fight with someone.
Pipa's gaze fell on him, filled with sympathy and pity, as if to say how pitiful this person was, so young yet so old, and the next second he would open his arms and ask his brother to hug him and tell him what was on his mind.
Wei Xin wore a smile on his face, just like yesterday, a forced smile, but his eyes revealed three parts coldness, three parts mockery, and four parts indifference, like a student who had a note stuck on your back but kept quiet, sending chills down your spine.
He felt like he was being talked about behind his back, but he himself had no idea what was going on. What was happening? Chi Ri was curious but also completely bewildered.
Could it be that his plan has been exposed? But his plan was only finalized last night, and no one else knows about it. Although he doesn't know anything, the clever Chi Ri still guessed something: the reason why the four of them are acting so strangely must be because of Wei Xin's scheme.
That kid has a lot of bad ideas.
Wei Xin was stunned. Slander! This is slander! Although I was talking badly about you behind your back, when we talk about the facts, don't you think you're completely innocent?
"Tell me about the tomb."
Wei Xin changed the subject to prevent Chi Ri from discovering the note that appeared to be from a law-abiding citizen.
"Let our scientist explain the situation to you." Chi Ri stepped aside, and the short, stout man in front of him turned around. "He is Pluto, the chief scientist of our Galactic Team."
"Hello everyone."
Despite having "Pluto" in his name, Pluto's appearance can only be described in four words: shifty-eyed and sneaky. In a spy movie, viewers would immediately recognize him as a bad guy, and indeed he is. In the comics, Pluto joins Team Galactic in order to use their power to control all the legendary and mythical Pokémon.
"Mr. Chi Ri, I suggest you include facial features in your hiring criteria next time you're recruiting," Wei Xin whispered in Chi Ri's ear. The meaning was clear: BYD doesn't seem like a good person even more than you do.
Why not just find a Sinnoh spear pillar and kick it down?
Chi Ri glanced at Wei Xin and thought to himself, "You're actually a pretty good person." Of course, he knew that Hades was not a good person, but neither was he. How could a good person join the Galactic Team?
Although Hades has a cunning look on his face, even a blind man like Crimson Sun could tell he was up to something behind the scenes. But there's nothing that can be done; these days, it's not easy to find a knowledgeable PhD or scholar.
I'll just have to make do with it.
"That's a great suggestion, I'll consider it later," Chi Ri said.
Pluto's forehead veins bulged, and he cursed inwardly, "You brat, you might as well be more explicit."
Wei Xin's mouth is really nasty; I'm going to glare at him.
Unfortunately, you can't glare at them.
On the one hand, he couldn't outdo Wei Xin; on the other hand, he wasn't qualified. Although he held the title of chief scientist, within the organization, he was not even second only to one person, let alone above ten thousand others, and he wasn't even considered a department head.
Ultimately, the Galaxy team, on someone else's soil, encountered an accident, said the wrong thing, and fell out. Wei Xin staged a scene of an envoy committing suicide, and whether Chi Ri could escape is unknown, but he certainly didn't have a chance.
They could only swallow their resentment and honestly disclose the results of the tomb's exploration.
"In conclusion, the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is indeed right beneath our feet, but it is protected by some kind of force. Neither manpower, machinery, nor Pokémon can enter. Even the detection of equipment is completely absorbed without any feedback."
"Have you tried waveguides?" Wei Xin asked.
"No, technology cannot simulate waveguides unless we find a waveguide messenger on site. It is said that the alliance applied for assistance from the Taoists of Wudang Mountain, but was refused by Wudang Mountain."
"Mr. Wei Xin, what are you doing?"
Chi Ri saw Wei Xin suddenly squat down, put his hands on the ground, take a deep breath, and instantly, a power surged from his body, a power completely different from the one he had at the airport.
"The waveguide you're looking for," Cynthia said, "is not the reason Wudang Mountain refused, not because they were unwilling, but because they didn't need it."
If someone knows waveguides, has a head full of knowledge, is proficient in both competitive and open-world battles, and can even use a beep code to summon mythical beasts and flip tables when pushed to the limit, then it's a problem that even the most difficult people can't solve.
So, who else can solve this?
Chi Ri's expression was complicated. The fact that Wei Xin was the Waveguide Envoy was not written in the encyclopedia, but the facts were right in front of him. It couldn't be a charade or a show of force.
The students in front of you are hiding many things you don't know.
Chi Ri abandoned his idea of causing trouble in Donghuang.
Wei Xin's strength is unfathomable, and Donghuang is too complicated. Moreover, there is also the Sinnoh champion on the side. Even he may not be able to handle it. He should just honestly play the role of an assistant, get the job done, and ask Donghuang to share the information afterward.
"I was just joking," Pluto, a firm believer in science, never believed that something as mysterious as waveguides could be useful. He arrogantly said, "The purpose of technology is to replace human labor. How can human labor accomplish what technology cannot?"
You, Wei Xin, if only you could use waveguides to detect underground conditions.
I, Pluto, immediately swallowed the exploration equipment.
About three minutes later, Wei Xin frowned. After about five minutes, Wei Xin's face turned pale. Everyone felt the ground beneath their feet tremble, as if a huge creature sleeping underground had turned over. This was a phenomenon they had never seen before, even after studying the area for a long time.
Wei Xin's waveguide penetrated the soil and touched the boundary of the mausoleum. The Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum beneath his feet seemed to be shrouded in a huge membrane, inside which existed a myriad of waveguides, ever-changing, colorful and diverse.
Pokémon! There are actually Pokémon living in this tomb.
Wei Xin couldn't distinguish which Pokémon these waveguides belonged to. The tomb was protected by a special power, and he could only make out a general idea. They looked like constantly moving red dots on a radar. Clearly, there were living beings inside, a large number of sentient and living creatures.
It was practically an underground kingdom, where countless subjects lived. Within the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, there was only one extremely unique waveguide that remained completely still.
The moment it sensed Wei Xin's presence, it raised its head from the deep, sunless tomb and asked curiously, "Who are you?"
The ethereal voice pierced through the membrane and struck Wei Xin's mind directly.
Telepathy, is it a legendary Pokémon?
Legendary Pokémon are actually inside a tomb?
No one at the scene heard a sound and stood still, looking bewildered. They saw leaves falling from the trees around the camp and confirmed that it was not an illusion; the mounds under their feet were indeed shaking.
"What's going on?"
Pluto's eyes widened, and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that waveguides really work?
The tremors quickly stopped, and the unknown giant creature fell asleep again. Leaves fell to the ground, and Wei Xin opened his eyes. The color that had faded from his face due to the rapid depletion of his strength quickly returned.
"Did you find anything?" Cynthia asked.
"No." Wei Xin shrugged, looking regretful.
"Then what was that tremor just now?" Chi Ri didn't believe Wei Xin's words. "You release the waveguide and the ground shakes, and now you're telling me nothing happened? Do you think I'm stupid?"
'
"Emmm," Wei Xin's expression was complicated, he hesitated for a moment, and then awkwardly said, "Just now my aura disturbed the sleeping Ground-type Pokémon underground, which scared it into using Earthquake, and then, you know—remember to keep it a secret for me."
Everyone understood that Wei Xin was worried that the earthquake would damage the underground tomb and its contents, and that he would ultimately be held responsible.
Wei Xin was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Alliance simply for using waveguides to probe the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum.
"By the way, don't you guys clear out the Pokémon around when you're doing your exploration?" Wei Xin asked, shifting the blame onto Chi Ri.
"Ah, this—" Chi Ri gasped in shock. You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. What if you're right? Are you treating us like interns?
"It's possible that the Kyoto University archaeological team lacked experience and made a mistake."
He shifted the blame for the matter to the Kyoto University archaeological team.
Because the archaeological work had stalled, the professor from the archaeological team, who was slacking off at the hotel, sneezed.
Pluto chuckled: "I already said that what technology can't do, human power absolutely cannot do."
My heart was pounding, and I almost thought I was really going to eat the research equipment.
"So, is there any other way to get into Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum?" Wei Xin ignored Pluto's sarcasm. He didn't want to talk to someone who was superstitious about science, nor could he let Pluto freeload off him, and he certainly wouldn't reveal his discovery.
"Yes," Pluto said. "According to our investigation, the source of this power is beneath Mount Li. There, we discovered a passage, and at the end of the passage, the main entrance is very likely."
"The main gate?" Cynthia asked, puzzled.
“Yes,” Pluto said. “We speculate that opening the main gate is the only way to enter the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, but the problem is that a huge boulder blocks the way between the main gate and the passage, and we cannot move or destroy it.”
"It's hard to explain the situation just by talking. Why don't we go to the scene and see for ourselves? Mr. Long is there too," Chi Ri suggested.
