Chapter 122: The Most Dangerous Place is the Safest
Chapter 122: The Most Dangerous Place is the Safest
The engagement between Yecheng and Kyokaku, which seemed like a joke, was ultimately put on hold, much to Yecheng's relief.
Although Kyokaku was a good person, Yecheng didn't know her well enough to agree to an engagement. He felt that it was too hasty.
However, due to Haiyan's interference, the relationship between Yecheng and Kyokaku had become somewhat peculiar.
Before, Yecheng only saw Kyokaku as a friend's younger sister. But now, he couldn't simply treat her as a sister anymore.
Kyokaku herself also seemed to have a different look in her eyes whenever she glanced at Yecheng, as if something had changed.
"Yecheng, I suddenly feel that our family's mansion might not be as safe as I thought.
With Kyokaku and the others constantly causing chaos at home, it might affect our plans and lead to failure in the end."
The conversation returned to the main topic, and Haiyan expressed his concerns.
According to his thoughts, Yecheng needed a safe and hidden place to revive Zhibo Tsuru.
Haiyan immediately thought of the basement in their family's mansion.
It was common for noble families to have basements, as every noble had some secrets they didn't want outsiders to know.
Setting up the laboratory in the Shiba family's basement would not only ensure secrecy and safety but also allow them to respond quickly in case of any accidents. It was indeed a good idea.
However, after returning home, Haiyan suddenly realized that Kyokaku and the others often conducted blasting experiments at home. What if the gunpowder explosions caused vibrations in the basement and disrupted Yecheng's forbidden experiment? Haiyan didn't know much about scientific research, but he understood that it required precision, and even a slight mistake could lead to failure.
"If there's no other suitable location, your family's basement is indeed the best choice for the laboratory.
As for Kyokaku and Yajiu, they are your closest family, so I don't think we should hide this from them. Besides, I trust them."
When Kyokaku overheard Yecheng and Haiyan's conversation, she was curious about what they were discussing so seriously. She quietly moved closer to listen in.
After hearing Yecheng's words, Kyokaku couldn't help but feel touched.
Although she didn't know what Yecheng and her eldest brother were planning, it was clear that it was a highly confidential matter, and Yecheng was willing to trust them.
Haiyan also believed that since the experiment would be conducted in their family's basement, Kyokaku and Yajiu, being the curious siblings they were, would eventually come down to investigate.
Rather than letting them cause trouble and create an irreversible situation, it was better to be open from the start.
A few minutes later, Kyokaku and Yajiu, who had followed Yecheng to the Shiba family's basement, learned about Yecheng's ambitious plan from their eldest brother.
"Can (Sister-in-Law) really be revived? Is this true? Are you sure you're not tricking us?"
Upon learning that Zhibo Tsuru could possibly be revived, Kyokaku and Yajiu were thrilled and excited.
Compared to Haiyan, who was often absent from home, Kyokaku and Yajiu had more interactions with their sister-in-law, Zhibo Tsuru, and they held great respect and affection for her.
If Zhibo Du could be resurrected, then their eldest brother could also shake off his previous listlessness and pick himself up again.
"Yecheng, and my brothers, rest assured. Although I love to cause trouble, I also understand the importance of matters. I'll go home and get rid of all the hidden gunpowder, and I won't let any accidents happen during Yecheng's experiment!"
This matter concerned the resurrection of their sister-in-law, so naturally, Konghe understood the severity of the situation. At this moment, she confidently patted her ample chest, making a loud sound as she assured them.
"No, actually, I'd rather you continue with your usual experiments at home, but just try to keep the noise under control."
When the three Zhibo siblings heard Yecheng's words, they were puzzled, but before they could react, Yecheng continued his explanation: "The reason I feel that the Zhibo family is safe is because of Konghe's usual penchant for explosive experiments.
Resurrecting Zhibo Du might also cause some disturbances in Liu Hun Jie, leading to fluctuations or tremors in spiritual pressure.
If Konghe's explosions can serve as a distraction, it would be better. Although I'm not sure if it will completely divert attention, the people in West Liu Hun Jie should already be used to the commotion caused by the Zhibo family by now."
After hearing Yecheng's explanation, the three Zhibo siblings fell silent, especially Konghe, who, after a moment of shock, couldn't help but show a proud expression.
She never expected that her past negligence in her duties would actually become such a significant help in the grand endeavor of resurrecting their sister-in-law.
Moreover, with Yecheng's explanation, she could now openly conduct her gunpowder experiments at home without having to hide. She could even set off firecrackers right in front of her brother.
"As for the experimental equipment, I'll also need Konghe and Yajiu's help. I heard you have connections in Liu Hun Jie? So, I'd like to trouble you with this matter. Please try to purchase the items separately and not all in one place to avoid arousing suspicion."
Konghe also enjoyed research, so she had connections to obtain some research equipment.
As for Yecheng purchasing them himself, it wasn't impossible, but the problem was that his identity as the Fifth Seat of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads was too conspicuous.
After receiving a large sum of money from Yecheng, Yajiu was also excited. He initially thought he couldn't be of much help, so at this moment, he solemnly promised to complete the task.
"Yecheng, I want to thank you again for what you've done for the Zhibo family. We will never forget this favor."
"And about the money you just gave us, with the Zhibo family's current financial situation, we can't repay it immediately, but I'll try to find a way to return it to you as soon as possible."
Yecheng was willing to help them despite the risk of being judged by Room Forty-Six, and Kaede Shiba considered this a great favor.
Kaede also believed that it was unreasonable for Yecheng to both provide funds and labor. After all, Zhibo Du was his wife, not Yecheng's.
"There's no need for unnecessary words. If Zhibo Du's resurrection is successful, it will also mean I've mastered a technique.
As a researcher, the data obtained from experiments is also a valuable asset. Even if the subject weren't your wife, Zhibo Du, wouldn't I still need to invest this time and money?"
