Chapter 256: Manual Geiger Counter
It's a bad feeling to get an urgent notice not long after you start working, especially when it's a priority.
The two are dragged out of the sewers and the laboratory, respectively, and hurried to the scene of the incident, where they unexpectedly reunite early to exchange work progress and admire the work of Kraft's good student.
Like an artist who has gone into madness, he swings a large brush and splashes paint on the walls and floors as canvases, expressing a powerful impact by rendering a single heavy color that fills the vision.
The viewer's first reaction may not be negative feelings, but they are infected by it, empathizing with the author's will, consciously or unconsciously.
Colors erupt and flow freely from the constraints of the form, as if as a metaphor for something liberated, making the mediocre person feel a terrible release, and the long-term depression is expressed into a destructive substance.
A work with a clear theme.
But then they will realize the essence of this half-corridor work, seized by a belated chill, and hastily deny the appreciation that had been born in their hearts before.
By the time the professor and the priest arrived, the venue had been preliminarily cleaned.
The monks temporarily sealed the second floor of the clinic, sorted out the bulk intruders, took the girl away from the scene, rescued the clinic owner who had locked himself in his closet, and comforted his colleagues, who seemed to be a little unconscious.
They listened to Brother Robin and decided to ask Dr. David to do a preliminary examination of the suspected intracranial injury and try to correct him from the illusion that an underage girl had created this.
However, after a field investigation, various traces indicate that there are small but powerful participants who have developed new uses for candlesticks.
Even if the truth is already in front of you, the person concerned does not refuse to admit what he has done, all of which is still too difficult to accept. So they objectively conveyed what they knew to the priest, who in turn informed the professor.
Both of them had expected the situation before they came, but they were silent in front of the hallway for a while.
"Obviously, they weren't coming to see a doctor with a weapon, so that should be an unquestioned, supported form of self-defense." Kraft tried to divert the topic from the point.
"Hmm." Green speculated on the scene from the bloodstains, which were already difficult to describe with blunt force injuries, almost someone was partially torn apart.
The candlestick used as a weapon is partially deformed, and the copper branches are bent like metal plants growing on the base.
"My people say your students do all this independently, do you have any clue?"

Before coming, the professor had imagined that Yvonne had used wit and a dagger to perform a tracheostomy on two infidels with a carotid artery totomy or something, which could barely fool around.
In such a situation, it can only be said that people are more worried about the mental state of the parties.
But as we all know, that's what mentors do, endorsing students and occasionally cleaning up the aftermath. In principle, there is no problem with what Yvonne did, but there was a mistake in the way it was executed, and it was none other than Kraft who did the work afterwards.
"It may be contrary to the general belief, but medicine is actually a physically demanding activity. Architects may not have to carry the masonry themselves, but doctors must perform the surgery on patients themselves. β
"In a lot of operations, power is sometimes no less important than fine, otherwise you can't separate the contracted muscles and deal with the hard bones. Therefore, when recruiting students, surgery often also makes physical requirements. β
"So?"
"Yvonne is naturally a bit superior in strength to ordinary people, so I hope she can be the inheritor of her skills, and maybe the promoter, that makes sense, right?" The professor was so serious about the importance of strength in surgery that Green almost didn't notice that he was trying to deflect the subject.
"Born?"
"Yes, everyone has a gift from the Father, but some may get a little more." As the saying goes, if you don't try, you'll never know your limit, and Kraft doesn't know that he can talk nonsense so seriously.
"As for those, well. You have to understand that people who have not been trained are indeed prone to overexert themselves and mess up the scene when they are nervous for the first time. β
"Hmm." It can be heard that this explanation is not to explain, and the answer given by the priest is only one syllable, but any more argument is a waste of physical strength.
Overall, the result was good, and since the professor was able to bite the "innate divine power" to death without shame, he had no reason or way to figure out what was going on, as long as he made sure that the candlestick would not hit his own head one day.
"Hopefully you know what you're doing, and so do your students." Green sighed, skirted the pool of blood, picked up the candlestick and weighed it, holding the solid bronze for too long with his arms.
There is no point in arguing with someone who has made up his mind to play a scoundrel, "Don't talk about it, at least our reckless lads survived." Let's talk about something else. β
"First of all, the coat of arms behind the armor, I consulted an expert, the dynasty was in the early days of the establishment of the kingdom, the main body was the sword and the dragon, which belonged to a relatively powerful branch, but it has not been handed down since. Not only that, but the entire Pendra family's record there was like a bell tower on the first floor, floating in the air. β
"So you have a point, at least something must have happened that had to be hidden, but knowing it doesn't help us."
"It might be part of a key, but we don't know where it's locked yet." It was a real surprise to get feedback in a short period of time.
"What about you? How's the experiment going? β
"It's smoother than expected, and I've figured out the influencing factors, but it's just a little bit of quantitative analysis and practical application." Kraft beckoned Koop upstairs, and from the door he asked for a small, tightly sealed iron bottle, opened the mouth of the bottle to reveal the contents and closed them again, which contained the black granules.
He shook the bottle, and the distinct sound of the particles hitting the wall of the bottle was clearly audible, "Listen, take it out and shake it, that's the way it is normally." β
"So what does that mean?"
"When something is nearby that shouldn't be there, or when a phenomenon is active, the particles in it will temporarily melt and stick together like damp sand, and the bottle will become quieter."
The bottle quickly changed hands, and the professor didn't seem to like it for a long time in his hands, "At first I wanted to use white glass, which I could observe directly; But mild melting isn't so easy to see, and you don't want to touch a pile of glass shards with strange liquids, so you might as well listen to it. β
"I think it'll come in handy soon." Green tried to shake the bottle, which reminded him of some children's toys, the same small things that collide in empty containers, "How did you figure it out?" β
"Excluding other influences, that's the only one." Kraft replied.
"And is it sensitiveβI mean how close it is, how long it takes to change significantly."
"I don't know, but I don't need to be so precise for the time being. I've got three for you, and if they all suddenly go silent, it's recommended to run quickly, which means that the thing coming is either very big and close, or it's preparing some big show. β
"Thanks, I'll think about it."
