In the Pan-Western Sea Academy of Natural Sciences.

Randolph Woodstock wears sunglasses and moves alone through the hallway.

He did not inform the Academy of Sciences in advance, but used his position as Speaker to come in directly to check the situation.

Arriving at a laboratory in the deepest part of the Academy of Sciences, Speaker Randolph pushed the door open.

"Your Excellency, Speaker?"

In the dim laboratory, illuminated only by computer screens and countless indicator lights, several researchers raised their heads, and a man led by them hurriedly stood up to greet them.

"Professor Dorne, is there anything out of the ordinary?"

Speaker Randolph looked casually at the center of the lab.

In the isolated glass room, a crimson crystal was quietly placed on a laboratory bench with a complex circuit board, the indicator light turned on and off, and from the surrounding computers, it seemed that something was flowing into the crystal at high speed.

This is the Philosopher's Stone, internally numbered 002, which is one of the [prototypes] of the Philosopher's Stone made by the ascended person named Paracelsus a hundred years ago.

There are almost no historical records that after comprehending the manufacturing technology of the Philosopher's Stone, Paracelsus used his own emotions and desires as raw materials to create seven Philosopher's Stones, which can be called [prototypes], and these seven Philosopher's Stones have the power to truly approach humans.

Even Randolph Woodstock, before he became Speaker, was unaware of these secrets.

He had only learned of these secrets through some channels a few years earlier, and at the same time, Randolph Woodstock had been given a true Philosopher's Stone.

This is a philosopher's stone that does not carry the three laws of alchemy dolls, and if it is carried on top of the current alchemy doll body, then it can create an existence that is almost equivalent to that of a human.

Speaker Randolph wasn't really very excited about this, and in his opinion, the Philosopher's Stone alone had no practical value, and what really made it work was to mass-produce it.

As a result, he set up an initial project, gathering the best researchers in the field of alchemical dolls, in an attempt to replicate the Philosopher's Stone, but undoubtedly all failed.

These Philosopher's Stones are the product of the Ascended One's extraordinary abilities, and one cannot create the true Philosopher's Stone unless one more historical fragment of Paracelsus can be found and an Ascended One can be cultivated.

As a result, the experimental project was shelved, and Speaker Randolph sealed it for a time.

However, a few years later, Speaker Randolph began to work on it again, and their previous research showed that the replica of the Philosopher's Stone, although it had become more advanced in architecture than the prototype Philosopher's Stone after years of technological iteration, was missing one crucial thing.

That is affection and desire.

The alchemy puppet is a completely rational existence, and the cornerstone of this rationality is the three laws of alchemy dolls, and the structure of all modern sage stones is based on the three laws of alchemy dolls, and it is naturally impossible to become a real [philosopher's stone] that reaches the gods.

And if you want to replicate the real Philosopher's Stone, you need human emotions and desires.

For example, the philosopher's stone in Speaker Randolph's hand contains an emotion called [greed].

Therefore, in response to this emotion, together with researchers, he developed a device such as brainstorming, which can absorb human desires, and they set brainstorming to make people feel free to satisfy their inner thoughts, and tap into the deepest and darkest desires of human beings.

Therefore, contrary to Bai Ge and Kluwa's guesses, Speaker Randolph is not just a brainstorm designed and promoted in order to break through the three laws of alchemy dolls, he is not clueless, but already has goals and means, and is advancing the plan really, little by little.

"There are no anomalies, Your Excellency, everything is going according to normal plan."

Professor Dorn, with his sparse hair and a white lab coat, is the lead investigator of the Brainstorming Project led by Speaker Randolph, a scientist with great insight in the field of alchemy dolls.

"Has there been any strange incident in the Academy of Natural Sciences recently?"

Speaker Randolph asked in a low voice with a casual glance at the others in the lab.

"I don't think I've heard anything like that."

Professor Dorn thought for a moment and replied.

"That's good."

Speaker Randolph bowed slightly, turned and left the lab.

As he left, Professor Dorn fell silent and turned his gaze to the Philosopher's Stone in the center of the board.

"It turns out that there is such a secret."

Professor Dorn made a white song sound.

Yes.

Professor Dorn was, in fact, Bai Ge pretending.

To be precise, Professor Dorne in this dream world was disguised by Bai Ge.

Speaker Randolph was still in a dream.

Everything he saw and heard was based on his innermost memories.

Therefore, by disguising himself as a person related to brainstorming, Bai Ge spied into Speaker Randolph's inner thoughts and learned about the Philosopher's Stone.

This is also a form of "theft".

Stealing, it's the idea.

"However, the Philosopher's Stone made by the last Paracelsus......"

A smile appeared at the corner of Bai Ge's mouth, he stretched out his hand, and an invisible dagger appeared, and at the same time, the surrounding space began to beep and resonate, as if it was about to collapse.

[White Rainbow Sun]!

Bai Ge and Koluwa did not intend to actually assassinate Speaker Randolph from the beginning, as they discussed before, killing a Speaker would not end such research, what they wanted to destroy was the research itself.

At this moment, Bai Ge's [Assassin Vision] has revealed the flaws on the red Philosopher's Stone, once it is destroyed, then not only in Speaker Randolph's consciousness, but even this Philosopher's Stone in reality will be destroyed, and related to it is also the technology of copying the Philosopher's Stone, as well as the absorption of human desires by brainstorming, these technologies and developments are based on this [archetypal] Philosopher's Stone, once its existence is erased, then these related technologies and knowledge will lose the basis for existence, changing to something else.

This is the corrective effect of the world.

Anyway, according to Colua, many demigod-level abilities have this kind of wonderful and weird effect, and [White Rainbow Sun] is just a special part of it.

Bai Ge forcibly endured the restlessness and whispering that kept surging in his heart, and towards the crimson point in his vision, the dagger sank into it.

At this moment, the door to the laboratory was slammed open.

"Sure enough, it's still a dream."

Speaker Randolph was unhurried, his right hand, the illusory burden of gold armor, and a long sword shone brightly.

"I declare that all things cannot be destroyed."

As soon as he spoke, Bai Ge saw that the crimson light, which was originally as bright as day, was rapidly dimming, and the dagger he was heading towards the light did not pierce the surface of the Philosopher's Stone, but was like facing an indestructible steel armor, and it was difficult to leave a mark on it.

Everything cannot be destroyed, that is to say, in this space, during this period of time, all attacks cannot cause damage to other things, even if Bai Ge has [White Rainbow Sun] can forcibly create weaknesses, but he has lost the means to attack.

However, correspondingly, Speaker Randolph's attack could not hurt Bai Ge.

It's a world where no one can hurt anyone.

Bai Ge felt confused, and the result of forcibly using [White Rainbow Sun] was a great drain of spiritual power, if it weren't for the increase in Koluwa's spirit in this dream world, he might have fainted on the spot.

"Who the hell are you, and why are you sabotaging my plans?"

Keeping the "declaration", Speaker Randolph did not rush to make a move, but came to the panting Bai Ge and asked in a low voice.

Bai Ge didn't answer, but snapped his fingers.

Boom –

The entire dream world was shattered suddenly, and Speaker Randolph could only watch Bai Ge be buried by countless bricks and stones and disappear in front of him.

He opened his eyes and found himself still in the council's office, with the same pen in his hand, as if nothing had happened.

“...... Can compete with the power of demigods, which one is the ascendant? ”

Speaker Randolph thought to himself, he knew that the other party should have learned about the Philosopher's Stone through the dream just now, and now the Panxi Sea Natural Academy was very dangerous.

However, he did not panic because of this, and calmly continued his unfinished work.

It wasn't until late in the evening, when Speaker Randolph was about to go to dinner with his wife, that he saw his real secretary hurrying in.

"Your Excellency...... The Pan Western Sea Academy of Natural Sciences was attacked by unknown persons and several laboratories were damaged, but fortunately there were no casualties......"

The Secretary was not aware of Speaker Randolph's research at the Pan-Western Academy of Natural Sciences, but the attack on such a Greenwich-based research institute would certainly be a big deal for the Speaker.

"I know, send someone to quickly investigate the relevant situation and compile it into a report, I will see it tonight."

Speaker Randolph waved his hand and motioned for the secretary to leave.

When the young man left, Speaker Randolph stood up and went to the fireplace on the side of the Speaker's office.

On this wall, there are photographs of the ninety-two speakers of the Pan-West Sea Business Community Parliament since its establishment.

The photographs are facing the Speaker's desk, and on weekdays, if he looks up, Speaker Randolph can see the gaze of the seniors who used to sit in this position.

The middle-aged speaker looked at the photos and was silent for a long time.

"I beg your pardon."

Speaker Randolph sighed and said to himself.

...

...

Late at night, in a hotel in Greenwich, Bai Ge and Koluwa were lying in their respective beds, seemingly sleeping.

And in the dream world, in a room exactly like this one, two people are sitting on opposite sides of the table, and they are having a discussion.

"Speaker Randolph sensed that it was a dream, but he didn't hide the information, or even pursue us, why?"

Bai Ge's fingers tapped on the wooden tabletop, thinking.

He and Koluwa have been using this method to discuss lately, and in the dreams of both parties, the conversation will never be eavesdropped, snooped on, and will not leave traces in the real world, and it is very convenient to be able to reproduce the content of the thoughts in the dream.

"Moreover, the attack on the brainstorming laboratory was not met with fierce resistance, and the ascenders of the guards were apparently not alerted by Speaker Randolph."

Koluwa attacked several laboratories of the Pan-Western Sea Academy of Natural Sciences, including the Brainstorm Laboratory, in the afternoon, on the one hand, it was a multi-line operation that overwhelmed the guards, and on the other hand, it was also to hide the real purpose, of course, before the attack, she had used her ability to make all the researchers leave the laboratory subconsciously, causing no casualties.

And more importantly, Speaker Randolph, who is the strongest fighting force, did not appear to be present in person, and seems to have abandoned this place.

"However, it seems that the Philosopher's Stone has been transferred ahead of time, which is why he has no fear?"

When Coluva attacked the Brainstorm Lab, she didn't find the Philosopher's Stone in the circuit board, so she deduced that the Philosopher's Stone might have been removed when they invaded Speaker Randolph's dream, and that the dream was most likely just a decoy or an illusion.

"No, I think that the Speaker Randolph I see today is so frightening that even the most central things are exposed, and it seems that he cannot shake his mind, and according to the thinking of the perpetrator, there is only one possibility, and that is that the actions we are taking now cannot be any obstacle to his plans."

Bai Ge held his chin and thought secretly.

He briefly reviewed the whole incident.

First of all, Speaker Randolph reached an agreement with Councilor East of the Alexander Consortium, and at the same time developed a copy of the prototype of the Philosopher's Stone, promoted brainstorming, and created a series of models that could break the three laws of alchemy dolls to a certain extent, including alchemy dolls for riot control.

These aircraft then caused a series of incidents across the Pan-Western Sea, which attracted the attention of the military, and General Yegor began to investigate, finding Yassen Hercule.

When Yassen Hercule went to the city of New Macedonia to investigate, he was attacked by alchemy dolls used by riots, and the conspiracy of the apparent Alexander consortium was deduced, and Councillor Esther withdrew from the general election, and Speaker Randolph's approval rating was surpassed in one fell swoop.

At this time, Bai Ge discovered the relationship between Speaker Randolph and Brainstorming, and thought that he was researching an organism that could break through the three laws of alchemy dolls, and carried out the assassination.

But in reality, Speaker Randolph's real research was a copy of the [archetype] Philosopher's Stone as the handiwork of Paracelsus.

Eventually, the Philosopher's Stone was removed and disappeared.

If Bai Ge and Koluwa searched carefully, the dream of the investigators would definitely be able to find some clues, and the best way to keep it secret was for Speaker Randolph to kill all these researchers, but he didn't do that.

In other words, in Speaker Randolph's view, this matter is not something that touches on core interests.

"So...... This is actually a plan that succeeds better and fails without continuing...... Is it a hidden trick? ”

Bai Ge suddenly thought of something and came to such a conclusion.

"This is a plan that needs others to investigate, excavate, and discover, and the truth obtained after such a difficult and complicated investigation will be thought to be a conspiracy of Speaker Randolph, but in fact, the ultimate goal of Speaker Randolph is not related to the Philosopher's Stone, but something more far-reaching!"
