Chapter 24: Lightning Fiber (Part 1/2)
Actually the thread wasn’t that long. It was approximately seven, eight centimeters in length. But it naturally felt different from the delicate electronic circuit in comparison.
The students’ attention were naturally drawn over due to the extraction of the long thread. Someone asked: “What’s that?”
“Metallic properties? It appears to have decent toughness.”
“How was this mixed inside? Was it there in the first place?”
Zhai Gong did not give an answer to the aforementioned questions. As he looked at the object, he also looked at the state of the scanning tool. A moment passed before he directly put on a thin pair of membrane gloves. He pinched the long thread in his fingers, weighing it a bit before speaking:
“The mass is strange. There’s quite the downward force.”
Upon speaking, Zhai Gong prepared to place the long thread onto a digital scale. The students all gathered around in curiosity.
“Wait a moment.”
Luo Nan suddenly spoke out, causing everyone’s gazes to fall onto his face. Luo Nan spoke with a downcast head: “I’m sorry.I don’t want it repaired anymore.”
His words prodded the hornets nest. The group of society member by the repair stand spoke irritated:
“You did this on purpose then!”
“Damn. You really came to cause trouble? What grade are you?”
“The case is already removed. What are you playing at? Do you think we at Precision Electronics are easy targets?”
Luo Nan’s expression did not change. He repeated his prior words: “I’m sorry. I’ve decided not to get it repaired.”
On one side was boiling emotions. On the other was a stubborn attitude. The two sides collided against each other. Things were becoming more and more intense.
After a moment of startlement, Zhai Gong actually smoothed things over: “If he doesn’t want it fixed then we won’t fix it. In the end, it’s not our stuff. I believe that this student wouldn’t go so far as to make fun of us…… Anyway, the labor costs will certainly be paid right.”
Zhai Gong had intended to smooth things over with a bad joke, but no one laughed. On the other hand, Luo Nan was wholeheartedly thankful. He bowed once more:
“Thank you Zhai Gong. I’m sorry for today.”
Zhai Gong laughed in great delight. He did his best to calm the surrounding society members: “Alrighty. I’ll first restore the device back to normal. It won’t take too much time. Anyway, there’s some tricks to this. Y’all should pay attention.”
Luo Nan really admired Zhai Gong for demonstrating this much concern. Yet he had no choice but to remind Zhai Gong of something: “Zhai Gong. That thread……”
Zhai Gong immediately understood. He spoke chuckling: “In truth, I really had forgotten where I placed that toy.”
He took a small sealing membrane bag from the side and placed the long thread inside. Then he handed it over to Luo Nan.
Luo Nan already lost count how many times he gave thanks. He reached out and retrieved the bag carefully and cautiously. A dozen cold eyes fell on his body. It was without a doubt that he had turned into the most unwelcome person of the Precision Electronics Interest Society.
Luo Nan didn’t care about this at all. He only had that fine thread in his mind at this very moment.
Luo Nan walked out of the society hall ten minutes later. He held the notebook in one hand and he held the sealed bag in the other. He was somewhat puzzled. It wasn’t clear which side was heavier.
The rays from the sun gradually fell from the west onto his body. It felt warm and comfortable, like a light warm breeze brushing past.
Thinking for a bit, Luo Nan lifted his hands to let the sun’s rays illuminate the sealed membrane bag. He squinted his eyes. Something seemed off. He probably got hurt from the bright circulation of light from lightning.
The lightning originated from the long thread. Obviously, things could be explained as such:
The thread existed within a bolt of bright blazing lightning.
But there was no one at all in the surroundings who had a change in behavior in regards to this. Those who did notice things over here, only noticed due to Luo Nan’s unfathomable posture.
This bolt of lightning was like the burning wraith. It was also like the glowing cloud band that coiled around Zhang Yingying’s body. It only revealed itself on the mysterious and unobservable plane. Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to see it nor hear it. They wouldn’t know of it or be able to observe it.
This splendid light, this burning eye-dazzling sight only existed in Luo Nan’s eyes!
Luo Nan lowered his arm and his five fingers gripped tightly, nearly ripping the bag. The more Luo Nan gripped, the more he experienced the marvelous qualities of the long thread…… It was completely disharmonious with its fine and delicate shape.
