Chapter 68: Not for me
"This... Is it a bomb?" and Celeste were surprised, for the bomb was not at all like a bomb, just two black hemispherical shapes.
"That's true, because it's this thing that Carmon was carrying and exploded when he flew into the air. This was found at the scene after the explosion was over and the crowd was evacuated. "But we don't know exactly how this thing works, how something so small can produce such a big explosion. ”
"Captain, all the wounded officers have been settled in the same hospital as the chief. At that moment, a police officer walked in and told Tapwe about the injured officer. With a nod from Tapuvi, the officer returned to his post.
Tapvi also turned around and said slowly, "Mr. Celeste, I need you to take this wreckage to the Scientific Research Bureau and hand it over to Arifa so that he can study what this iron ball originally contained. Kollorfen, you're an intelligence officer, gathering intelligence is your specialty, and I need you to patrol the black market. ”
"Leave it to me, Tapvi, I'm pretty good at this. Kolloven said confidently, after all, this was his specialty, and Serast nodded, and Serast could tell from Tapvi's spoken language that Tapvi's attitude towards him had improved now.
"I had to go to the hospital first to see the injured officers and their families. With that, Tapuvi took his things and left the police station. He was a responsible police officer, a sergeant, and since a police officer was injured by his orders, he had to bear the consequences for such mistakes.
"Arifa, can you analyze the composition of this thing?" Celeste came to the scientific research bureau and handed the wreckage to Arifa in the laboratory, who took the half of the iron ball from Serlast's hand and took a magnifying glass to examine it carefully.
"This iron ball is made of a special material, different from ordinary iron balls, it has a special heat shield inside, which seems to be used to stabilize the things inside. "Strangely, there are dents on the heat shields, and what type of dents are smooth, not like sharp objects, nor like dents caused by ordinary cones." ”
"What do you mean?" "This is not a direct dent caused by an intrinsic object, but by a flowing substance. But I don't know what caused it, and I need to dissect and test the wreckage. "The police have recorded it, and you can analyze it without any scruples. ”
After saying that, Arefa took the iron ball and entered the decomposition room. On the other side, Tapuvi walked out of a hospital room, which was inhabited by injured police officers, all of whom were injured to the same extent, and the degree of treatment was very difficult, although the officers were now in danger of their lives, but they were still unconscious.
Tapuvi closed the door to the room, sighed, and then walked to another place, and through a dark hallway, Tapuvi came to a ward. "I'm sorry, Director, but it was my mistake that injured so many good officers. "So, you should know by now whether Carmon is an enemy or a friend?"
In the dimly lit ward, only one person sat in one bed, and the other two beds were empty except for fruits and bouquets. The only person sitting on the hospital bed was the police chief Dinot, who had already woken up, and the news was only known to Tapwe, who did not let Tapwe tell anyone else.
"Yes, Director, you're right. No matter how notorious he is, he will still fight for the sake of the masses, he is not a person who fights for his own or his family's reputation. This is the truest thought in Tapuvi's heart, and it is also the thought that has been concealed.
"Good. However, you still have to remain semi-hostile to Carmon. "I know, Director. "Another point, you should be clear, we must not expose this in front of outsiders, otherwise, it will upend our entire plan. "Director, don't worry about this, I will definitely not disappoint you. ”
After saying that, Ta Pu Wei got up and prepared to leave, and before leaving the ward, Ta Pu Wei's face quickly pulled down, but this subtle change in expression was only visible to him.
"This explosion is full of doubts. What the hell is going on? What the hell did you want to tell me about?"
On the other side, Camon, who returned to the secret base, quickly returned to his room and went directly to the Psychic Prison to negotiate with Ksumofa. Because, although the explosion did not have any effect on him, he could clearly perceive that this explosion was extraordinary.
"I told you a long time ago, but unfortunately you didn't listen. "Think back to you, what was the image that appeared in your mind when you discovered this bomb through your mana perception?"
Carmon struggled to recall what it had been like at that time. "I remember finding out that the ball was a bomb because it wasn't what it was supposed to be in an office building. Moreover, there was a pink-purple mixture of energy fluctuations from inside......"
"This is the compressed mana that is already in a state of chaos. "What!?" "The mana compressed in the iron ball is generally blue, and in a stable state, he will always maintain this color, even if there is a bump in the body, or if he falls to the ground by mistake, there will be no change inside, and the compressed mana will still remain stable." ”
"In other words, someone activated these mana and made it chaotic?" "I'm afraid that's the case. Once the compressed mana is in chaos, a fairly powerful mana explosion will occur. "No wonder, no wonder there was no smell of gunsmoke, and not even the buildings were damaged. ”
"Magical explosions are not any of the gunpowder explosions. The explosion of mana is mainly an explosion of invisible mana, just like an electromagnetic field, it will penetrate the building and hurt the people inside the building, but it will not destroy the building, which is why those police officers inside the building can be injured. "However, even I have been hit so hard, and this is because I have your strength and have a strong mana to protect me. But the officers didn't, so why didn't they die on the spot?"
"The people who are targeted by the magic explosion are those who have mana, and for those who don't, the best case is coma. Moreover, you should have noticed that in the instant of the mana explosion, your health drops by 20% instantly, although because of my strength, your health is restored very quickly, so you may not notice. However, this is only possible because you are closest to the center of the explosion point to deal such damage. ”
"You've told me before that people with mana don't die unless their health drops to 0%. However, the group of people clearly said that this bomb was within the explosion range, and everyone would do the same damage...""That's just for people who don't understand. For people who don't know mana and don't have mana protection, it's natural to think that mana spreads out from the center point and will disappear only after reaching the extreme critical point. "And when will they wake up?" Because the principle of magic explosion is that special magic power enters the body, and repulsion with one's own mana will cause damage, and if oneself has no mana, this special mana will stay in that person's body, and if it is not ruled out, it will exist forever. ”
"Then how do we eliminate it?" "It can't be ruled out, because the special mana can only be eliminated in a unique way, and if you don't know the principle, you can do it without permission, if it is triggered to the opposite point, the magic will implode again, and you will die directly and cannot be cured." "So... My found the prototype?" "That's right. Unless you find a complete, non-anomalous prototype, I will be able to analyze the flow of mana inside, and create a reverse flow of mana, so that I can save the unconscious police officers. ”
"In this way, others already have magic weapons, mana is not exclusive to me now, and opponents already have weapons of equal power, although I don't know where they got them, but it is clear that opponents have more than one or two. "Carmon has analyzed it very thoroughly, this time it is just an experiment, Vicanlo definitely has a lot of bombs, and there are quite a few plans.
"How's it going, Siota?" "I confirmed with Lord Rafithorne that this bomb can deal 20% pure damage to Carmon. On the other side, Rafisohn and Siota had just returned from outside, and they had been near Riel Pedestrian Street to watch Carmon's every move.
And the so-called confirmation was confirmed by Raffi Thorne, because he had learned spells, but they were only auxiliary spells, not combat ones. However, because of this, he could see subtle changes in Carmon's health, so he was able to determine what the maximum damage of the bomb was.
"I saw it, but I couldn't confirm what the area damage was, because Carmon was in the center of the explosion point, at the center of the maximum damage. ”
"It doesn't matter. Vicanlo, who was on the side, said proudly, "This operation was supposed to let him know that we had weapons that could deal with him, so that he could take precautions in advance, so that our future actions would be more difficult to figure out." And he will know whether his so-called protection is right or wrong. ”

Note:
In this chapter, there is a 'health' and X% health reduction, because the world still has a 'health and mana' system at this time, and those who know mana have a 'health bar', and those who can't are just like normal people. (Systemic things like health will be removed after the 'Age of Warcraft: A New Era' storyline.) It still exists now because it was in time.)
