"What's going on!"
"What's happening!"
"Who's in the main control room?"
"Nobody!"
"Over at the terminal! Old Wu, shut the safety valve! Shut it now!"
Hearing the cries of alarm and the chaotic running footsteps echoing through the laboratory, watching the giant mech that had suddenly begun to move, the visiting students outside the railing were all dumbstruck. One female student was so terrified that she fainted on the spot.
Nobody knew what had happened, or why this giant mech called Thunder God had begun moving without receiving any commands.
The laboratory was in chaos. The student from the main campus also wore a look of shock, and even Director Cui was somewhat flustered.
Zhong Lizi was nervous too. She held Jiang Yuxia with her left arm, constantly comforting her, while her right hand instinctively grabbed Jing Jiu's hand.
Jing Jiu came back to his senses and realized that he had caused rather too much of a stir.
A flash of Sword Light appeared deep in his eyes and vanished. The faint glow on his ring disappeared, leaving it looking like an ordinary accessory.
A stream of code in the laboratory's computer also silently disappeared, leaving no trace to be found.
Only the tiny cut in the cable on the wall could prove that someone had done something.
With a humming of electric current, the light inside the giant Thunder God mech's helmet went out. Its enormous left mechanical arm also stopped in midair, as though it had turned back into a metal statue.
Every sound in the laboratory stopped at that moment. Everyone stopped running and looked toward it, their mouths still open, their hands still clutching their hair.
The next moment, all the sounds rose again.
"It stopped! It stopped! We still need to shut the safety valve!"
