"How did it go?" Theus asked with a grim expression.

"We tested coyotes, rabbits, sharks, snakes, and horse-faced fish. All of them mutated." Nini flipped through the notebook in her hands. "We didn't have many experimental animals prepared, so that's all for now. We'll catch some birds and insects later and see what happens then."

Theus stared at the coyote before him, which was a full size larger than a horse, his dark-circled face solemn.

There really was something wrong with electricity in this world!

He had always thought it was some kind of misunderstanding—that the people of this world simply did not understand electricity deeply enough, which was why this absurd situation had arisen.

It turned out that he had been the shallow one. There had been nothing wrong with the previous researchers; the problem lay with this world.

Theus was no stranger to electricity, so he had not randomly gone around electrocuting things for no reason. He had only tested its basic properties before leaving it alone.

No one had been shocked during the entire experiment, so they had never discovered the problem with electricity.

This time, Theus hurriedly conducted some experiments. He improvised a chemical battery and carried out quite a few tests.

He had not tested much yet, but he had already reached a preliminary conclusion—the electricity in this world was not much different from Blue Star's in terms of physical properties. It could generate heat through resistance, electrolyze water, and so on.

But living creatures that were electrocuted would turn into aberrations.

Theus felt like he was going insane. How could the directional movement of charged particles alter a life-form?

He conducted some simple tests on these aberrations and even brought over Ash's pet wolf for comparison. They were fundamentally quite similar.
