562: Chapter 562: The Truth Behind the Green Liquid 562: Chapter 562: The Truth Behind the Green Liquid Xiang Yu had originally hoped to bluff the other party with his gift of gab, but Director Wu spotted the deception immediately.

Because Director Wu recognized the little ball, he knew it was just an ordinary container for liquids, with a tiny hole on one side that was hard to detect, through which a syringe could inject something.

Xiang Yu wasn’t a professional, so he didn’t understand, while Wu Tao had spent a lifetime in chemistry, and was very familiar with this kind of container, so he saw through Xiang Yu’s lie at a glance.

But seeing the young man’s determination, he decided to help him analyze what exactly was inside.

When Xiang Yu saw his lie had been detected, he didn’t feel bad about it, he simply followed Wu Tao to his small laboratory.

Wu Tao was very serious about his work, as one could see, he was meticulous about his scholarship.

Nowadays, such people are rare in society.

Most people, whether they are scientists or so-called experts, are all striving for money, and few can settle down to pursue scholarly work with such dedication.

Xiang Yu didn’t disturb him and just stood there quietly.

Wu Tao was very serious as he dripped the liquid onto a precise instrument, then he began to operate the instrument.

Finally, he moved to the computer to do the analysis.

Xiang Yu stood by his side and watched earnestly, seeing the computer screen displaying many elements and their proportions.

Xiang Yu didn’t understand those, but he felt that the green little thing had a rather complex composition.

However, Wu Tao’s face color was getting worse and worse.

He looked at the element proportions displayed on the computer screen, and at last his body even shook uncontrollably.

“Professor Wu, what’s wrong?” Xiang Yu quickly asked.

Wu Tao hastily returned to the instrument, then hurriedly removed that drop of liquid.

He opened a high-temperature furnace on the side, placed it inside, turned it on, and the drop of green liquid instantly vanished into nothing.

Then Wu Tao suddenly remembered the syringe from before, and took it to be destroyed as well.

“Who exactly are you?” By now, Wu Tao had pushed Xiang Yu out, then returned the little ball to him.

“Director Wu, what on earth is that stuff inside?” Seeing the other’s grave expression, Xiang Yu also became somewhat anxious.

Wu Tao looked at Xiang Yu with a serious gaze, holding his phone in his hand, obviously considering calling the police.

Seeing his expression, Xiang Yu hurriedly said, “Director Wu, don’t be nervous, I’m not a bad person, let me tell you the truth, I’m actually an undercover police officer, I obtained this little ball by chance and just want to know what’s inside?”

Xiang Yu knew the other party wouldn’t easily believe him, so he directly took off his shirt, revealing a body full of scars.

“I was a soldier, then I rejoined civilian life and became a police officer,” Xiang Yu said earnestly, knowing that now was the time to make the other believe in him.

After seeing the scars on Xiang Yu’s body, Wu Tao believed most of his story; anyone could tell that most of Xiang Yu’s scars were from battle.

Finally, Wu Tao nodded and then sat down at his spot, looking at Xiang Yu with a somewhat reverent gaze and said, “Kid, you’ve really had it tough.”

Xiang Yu gave a bitter smile and shook his head, then put his shirt back on.

“I am a police officer, and this is my responsibility,” Xiang Yu said very seriously, when in fact, he was just spouting nonsense.

But after having been hammered out over such a long time, his ability to spout nonsense had reached a state of self-forgetfulness.

Wu Tao sighed and said, “This substance is very dangerous.

Although I don’t know what this green stuff is called, judging from the elements inside it and the signs it exhibits, this substance is not dead, but alive.”

Xiang Yu was so frightened by the news that it was alive that he almost threw it away.

That was too outrageous.

Seeing Xiang Yu’s reaction, Wu Tao gestured for him to calm down and continued, “If my guess is correct, this contains a kind of super bacteria, or it might be more appropriate to say a virus.”

“What does it do?” Xiang Yu quickly asked.

“I cannot guess its specific use, but what’s certain is, if this stuff gets on a person, it will definitely cause changes in the person’s physiological mechanisms.

This kind of drug is banned around the world and research on it is not permitted,” Wu Tao said very seriously.

Xiang Yu finally understood the seriousness of the issue.

The substance inside was bacteria.

And it was contagious.

He didn’t know what the other side intended to do.

If it was as Wu Tao said, and this substance could change a person’s physiological mechanisms, then wouldn’t humans potentially mutate?

At that thought, Xiang Yu couldn’t help but shiver all over.

He handed the sphere back to Wu Tao and said, “Dean Wu, do you think this substance can be destroyed?”

Seeing Xiang Yu’s cautious gaze, Wu Tao fully believed in his identity for the first time.

Perhaps he really was an undercover police officer.

“Handle it yourself.

The substance fears heat, and fire can kill it,” Wu Tao said directly.

Xiang Yu nodded, and then took the sphere back.

Now that he held the substance in his hand, it was like a time bomb.

If he was not careful and let the substance inside get out, it could likely be a disaster for humankind.

He didn’t know who had put the substance inside or what their exact purpose was.

If the other side still had more of this substance, wouldn’t that be very dangerous?

No wonder the national government valued this substance so highly and had even mobilized the military.

But at the same time, Xiang Yu was curious.

If this substance was so dangerous, why was it stored in a bank?

“Dean Wu, I hope you can keep this matter confidential for me, as it involves my personal safety,” Xiang Yu pleaded.

Wu Tao nodded kindly and said with a smile, “I’ll pretend you’ve never been here, young man.

Be careful.”

After finishing his words, he did not look at Xiang Yu again and continued reading his book.

Actually, Xiang Yu felt somewhat guilty in his heart.

Dean Wu was a good man, but he had deceived him and had not been completely honest.

However, all of this was necessary for the mission, and he had no other choice.

Xiang Yu hurried away with the green sphere, intending to destroy it quickly.

But then he thought, if this substance can change a person’s physiological mechanisms and had been taken from a national bank, it might well have been developed by national personnel.

If it could change a person’s physiological mechanisms, perhaps it could be improved for the better.

After indulging in some wild speculation, Xiang Yu eventually decided to keep the substance.

The significance of the substance was profound, and before figuring out the full picture, Xiang Yu did not want to tamper with it.

This matter was related to the Evil God organization.

The fact that the Evil God organization wanted this substance meant that they definitely had an unknown scheme, and a grand one at that.

Considering that the Sect Leader of the Evil God organization was Liu Lianyu, a person who harbored extreme resentment towards society, it was very likely he intended to use this substance to take revenge on society.

With this in mind, Xiang Yu was even more convinced of his idea that the Evil God must be eliminated, or else it would always be a hidden ticking time bomb for the country…
