Chapter 1804 Strange Movement
Nasto felt unhappy when he heard everyone’s complaints.
“I’m afraid this matter is not that simple. The higher-ups will come over later to conduct the inspection and certification before the handover. I’m worried that they will push the problem to us. If there really is a problem, in the worst-case scenario, everyone might be subject to a special review by the Federation.”
Fang Heng and Lu Yanlong exchanged glances.
Special inspection?
This was troublesome.
Lu Yanlong felt even more wronged.
Indeed, they were prepared to play some tricks on the sarcophagus.
But they hadn’t made a move yet!
How did they end up becoming scapegoats?
His luck wasn’t too good.
Nasto was frustrated.
If something happened to these people, he would also be in trouble.
Fang Heng thought for a moment, then leaned over and whispered a few words into Lu Yanlong’s ear.
Lu Yanlong’s expression immediately turned stiff.
“What’s wrong?”
Nasto couldn’t help but glance at Fang Heng, who was beside Lu Yanlong. This young man in the necromancy uniform rarely spoke when he participated in the commission.
Nasto had a deep impression of him.
Firstly, Fang Heng did not like to talk. Secondly, Fang Heng’s ability in spatial studies was extremely outstanding, much higher than other players.
Lu Yanlong said, “I’m afraid we’ll really have to take the blame. My companion has already discovered that there’s a slight fluctuation in the sarcophagus. I’m afraid that some changes have occurred to the corpse inside. It’s very likely that there’s no problem with the test conducted by Michaux Company.”
“D*mn it!”
Nasto did not doubt Fang Heng’s perception. He scratched his head in frustration and thought about what he should do to get rid of this blame.
One of the players said, “But even if there’s something wrong with the corpse in the sarcophagus, they can’t prove that it was caused by our transportation, can they?”
“If something goes wrong, someone has to take the blame.”
“At most, we can argue with them and say that it’s their test results.”
“If we argue until the end, we might have to go through the Federation’s investigation. Won’t this delay things…”
Everyone started discussing again.
Nasto only felt his ears buzzing non-stop, and he felt more and more irritated. After discussing for such a long time, they still could not come up with an effective plan.
Lu Yanlong suddenly said, “Nasto, we actually have a way to solve this problem.”
Nasto’s heart skipped a beat as he raised his head to look at Lu Yanlong.
“What?”
“Just like you said earlier, the Federation’s commission department will start the coffin inspection together with Michaux Company. I mean, if we inform Michaux Company in advance that opening the coffin will cause a special space explosion, causing the corpse in the coffin to change…”
Lu Yanlong pondered and whispered, “The twelve corporations definitely won’t believe it. They’ll definitely choose to insist on opening the coffin for inspection, right? Then, if something happens and the sarcophagus is completely destroyed, we will have nothing to do with this matter, right?”
Nasto was stunned.
Beside him, the other two spatial science players also looked at Lu Yanlong in confusion.
What did he mean?
At first glance, it didn’t seem like there was any problem.
But…
What would happen if the coffin was opened?
Didn’t Michaux Company already try to open the sarcophagus once?
Everything was safe. There was no news of any anomaly.
Nasto said seriously, “Tell me in detail.”
Lu Yanlong looked at the crowd and said in a low voice, “My friend is a high-level necromancy mage. He can do something to the corpse. He can think of a way to stimulate the corpse to enter a berserk state. When the time comes, as long as they open the sarcophagus, we will definitely give them a big surprise.”
Nasto was still thinking about how to get rid of the blame, but when he heard Lu Yanlong’s words, he was suddenly tempted.
There was actually such a thing?
Nasto immediately lowered his head and pondered for a moment.
Indeed, if it was really as Lu Yanlong said, it was indeed a way to shift the blame.
If it really exploded, it would only be because the research team of Michaux Company was not professional. It had nothing to do with them.
“Are you sure you can handle it? They’ll be here after daybreak. They’re expected to arrive in four hours at the earliest. We’re running out of time.”
Lu Yanlong turned his head to look at Fang Heng. Seeing Fang Heng nod at him, he agreed, “No problem. We can handle it!”
Nasto was still a little hesitant. Although this move was ingenious, it was also very risky. Moreover, if anything were to happen…
“What do you all think?”
Nasto asked for the other players’ opinions.
“I think we can give it a try.”
The players hired by the Federation did not want to cause trouble.
The main reason was that the follow-up high-level review by the Federation was very disgusting.
Which player dared to say that they were 100% clean?
Even if there were no problems, it would be very inconvenient to do things after being checked for no reason, wasting so much time, and even getting on the Federation’s review list.
Right now, everyone was already in the same boat.
It would be best if they could think of a way to fool them.
But…
A player asked softly, “What will happen if we fail?”
Another player added, “I’m also worried about that. The research team of Michaux Company is not stupid. What if they see a problem?”
No one could answer this question.
The cave was silent for a moment.
If it was as Fang Heng said, it would be fine if they succeeded. If it failed, wouldn’t they be even more burdened?
Fang Heng took advantage of the fact that everyone’s attention was focused on the discussion with Lu Yanlong to approach a sarcophagus in the middle of the cave without leaving a trace. He reached out and touched the lid of the sarcophagus.
His spiritual perception entered the coffin through the lid.
Soon, the cyborg in the sarcophagus was stimulated and entered recovery mode.
The players were unaware of Fang Heng’s little tricks and were still discussing, “I think we should find a more reliable plan. It’s too dangerous.”
“Do you have a better idea?”
“I can’t think of any.”
“Why don’t we find a testing team to come over and argue with them? We can’t let them have the final say…”
Fang Heng saw that it was about time. He put down his hand and took two steps toward the sarcophagus. He raised his head to look at the crowd and interrupted them, “Everyone, hush. Listen…”
Fang Heng made a gesture to keep quiet.
The players in the cave immediately shut up and stopped their discussion.
“Ka ka, ka ka…”
Once it quieted down, everyone heard a small cracking sound.
The sound was extremely clear in the quiet cave.
It came from the sarcophagus!
The players immediately looked at the sarcophagus behind Fang Heng.
There was really something strange?
Everyone shifted their gaze to Nasto again.
Nasto stared at the sarcophagus nervously.
What the hell?
Could it be that what the twelve corporations said was true? Did the corpse in the sarcophagus really show signs of mutation?
How did this blame fall on him?
