Seized by the System

"Ah, this is great. My dear, Chao, you haven't let me down." The white bald man, Dr. Madson, said excitedly, "Sir Burakh Pao, look, our project has made such a great start…"

Black Robe was surprised but grew doubtful. He asked, "Will it be that easy?"

Beside him, Saki Yamanashi was delighted, "That looks fun. I want to spin it as well."

Wang Chao, who was operating the machine, quickly said, "I'm terribly sorry, Miss, but these are precision instruments, so they can't be fiddled with carelessly."

"Nevermind then." Saki Yamanashi was disappointed.

"You'll certainly have a chance in the future. Please be patient." Dr. Madson reassured.

A white woman standing behind Black Robe frowned lightly.

She was Claudia, and unlike her two colleagues, she had lived in Europe with her brother Claude for many years and was extremely familiar with certain scientific activities.

She knew exactly how difficult this project was.

Although the Devil Lord had given them some experimental data, she doubted that they would be able to research these results so quickly just by relying on that data.

Thus, she whispered, "Boss Black Robe, you should take a look at their equipment. I feel like there's something wrong, things might not always go so smoothly. For the effect to be so obvious, it's really unexpected."

Black Robe nodded and explored spiritually, probing the generator, light bulb, and the unknown blue material.

Then, he suddenly flew into a rage. With a stare, that hand generator cracked…

A tiny hidden black stone was revealed… which seemed to contain a trace of devilish energy.

It turned out that entire 'energy transformed into vitality' was just a lie!

It was just to extract material containing devilish energy by some means and conducting it out… Although the technical difficulty was as high as the former, it was still completely different.

"Damn it. You have the guts to lie to me!" He glared vehemently at the two scientists.

"Ah, this, how could this be? Wang Chao, didn't you say that everything went well?" Dr. Madson was so panicked that he quickly shirked responsibility.

"I, I also don't know… Didn't the experiments succeed time and time again?" Wang Chao hurriedly waved his hands and acted innocent.

"Damn you, you still dare to lie till the very end! In that case, I'll send you both to your ends!"

The higher one's hope was, the higher the disappointment. Before, Black Robe had been filled with the desire to take credit from his master, but now that he found out that it was a fraud, how would he be able to bear it?!

At that time, he even forgot a certain commandment…

He grabbed with his hands and sucked the two people before him, and grabbed their necks.

"Sob… sob." The two men whimpered speechlessly with expressions of begging.

"I want you two to die slowly. I want you to understand just how big a sin lying to the supreme Devil Clan is!" Black Robe said cruelly and ruthlessly.

"Uuh, ah…" The two men's bodies suspended in the air and struggled desperately.

Saki Yamanashi could not help but want to intercede after seeing this, but Claudia shook her head and motioned for her to not do so.

Although she was only ten or so years old, she had experienced many ups and downs, and her heart had matured rapidly.

At present, she simply turned her back and did not dare look again, much less plead aloud.

That was because she knew that Black Robe was her Master's trusted confidant who was in charge of everything, while she was just a disciple who did not have much real power.

At this time, if she pleaded mercy for those two liars, it would bring more harm than good.

Black Robe was indeed not in a hurry to kill the two, because killing them was simply to easy for him… He wanted them to understand that they could not lie to just anyone!"

However, it was exactly this idea that saved the two men from death.

"Halt!" A voice a distance away sounded from the window.

"How dare you commit such evil in broad daylight! Stop what you're doing this instant!"

"Sh*t, it's you again!" Black Robe grew furious, but in the end, let go of his grip.

Narrowly escaping from death, Wang Chao and Madson rolled and crawled away before rising and hiding in a corner.

"What's going on? Wang, didn't you say that everything was going well?" Madson asked with both surprise and anger.

"Yes, the experiment was clearly successful. Ah, I get it!" Wang Chao suddenly said, "It must be that lab helper. He must have been afraid that the effect was not obvious, so he added a catalyst. However, that catalyst itself was a devilish energy material…

"Would they accept this explanation? It's over, it's over, we're all finished…" Madson cradled his head in his hands.

At this time, a person entered from the window.

The two men raised their heads to look. Was that not that the Pharos of the East they saw passing by the sky every day?

They used to think that he was too idle, but now they were overjoyed. Fortunately, there was still such a meddlesome guy…

"Hmph, Vigilante A, these two damn liars cheated me out of billions of dollars! If such a huge sum of money was put in China, it would dictate a death sentence as well. Why can't I just kill them instead?" Black Robe tried to appear tough but was actually afraid inside.

"Oh, is that so? But, did they really cheat you? Or do you mean that you're ignorant and blind?" Vigilante A said coldly.

"How dare you insult me so! Do you think I don't understand modern science and technology? They obviously used a devil stone to extract devilish energy, but they lied to me by saying that it was energy that was transformed to vitality. How is this not cheating me?" Black Robe justified solemnly towards Vigilante A.

"Hmph, why don't you just let them remove the stone and repeat the test?" Vigilante A said lightly.

"Fine. You two, repeat the test in front of my eyes now!" Black Robe said ferociously.

"Yes, yes, I'll start preparing right away." Wang Chao, who had just narrowly escaped death, had already understood why the incident had happened and quickly began to move.

After half an hour, right under Black Robe's nose, a new hand-cranked generator, as well as a new light bulb and blue translucent material were reassembled together.

Wang Chao's hands were trembling so much he could barely turn on that easy-to-use generator. He almost could not hold the handle several times.

"Let someone else do it." Vigilante A said lightly.

Saki Yamanashi raised her hand, "Let me do it."

Black Robe nodded. He was also worried that they would cheat again, so it would be better for someone on his side to turn it instead.

Vigilante A remained noncommittal and did not object.

Thus, Saki Yamanashi stood on a chair and began to crank the hand generator.

The lightbulb slowly lit up, but that faint black energy did not appear again.

"You really did lie to me!" Black Robe said viciously.

Wang Chao collapsed weakly on the ground with nothing left to say.

"Be patient. Don't you know that Edison tested more than a thousand materials before he found the filament?" Vigilante A did not seem to be in a hurry.

Half an hour passed, and if Saki Yamanashi had not been a cultivator, she would not have been able to last this long.

At this time, the blue translucent material surrounding the light bulb suddenly flashed with a black energy.

"Is that?" Black Robe said in disbelief.

This time, he carefully checked that the entire test device had absolutely no vitality materials. It was a completely modern industrial product.

However, now, it seemed to have really transformed normal energy into devilish energy?

Was it real or fake?
