Chapter 1776: Explosives Expert

When Luther parked the car near the abandoned school, he left it onthe side and went to the passenger seat to pick up the unconsciousAlisha.

The night was dark, and the darkness seemed to devour everythingaround. There was no moon tonight, and it was nearly pitch black, withvisibility almost nonexistent.

Luther carried Alisha and walked into the empty school.

Following the designated location, he headed straight to thegymnasium on the ground floor of the abandoned school.

Upon arrival, the faint light ahead brought him a sense of reassurance.As he had expected, this location, after his discreet investigations,matched Felix's replaceings, confirming each other's discoveries. Theunlocking device for the detonator was hidden in the gymnasium.

It was a large device, and only an open and spacious place like thegymnasium would be convenient for concealing it.

Carrying Alisha, Luther entered the gymnasium.

When Luther saw the person waiting for him, he was genuinelystunned. It was Reuben?!

Felix didn't come because he and Vicki were in charge of divertingAthena's attention. The doctor Felix had arranged would be waiting forhim in the gymnasium.

But standing before him was Reuben!

Luther looked around and asked, "What are you doing here? Where isthe doctor?"

Reuben lightly tapped himself and said, "It's me."

Luther was taken aback. "You're the doctor? How is that possible?"The most crucial question was, how did Reuben know Felix? Lutherimmediately looked around, searching for Joyce's presence. If Reubenwas here, did that mean Joyce was here too? Did Joyce finally replace outabout everything and become involved in the entire plan?

"Don't bother looking. Why is it impossible? I am a medicalprofessional, with degrees at the bachelor's, master's, and doctorallevels. I have worked at the Royal Hospital, and my surgical skills areexceptional. The new anesthetic you mentioned is also exclusive to theRohomes royal family. Let's not waste any time." Reuben pointed to atemporary medical bed beside him. It wasn't large, just enough for anadult to lie on their side. It was the perfect size for a child.

Luther didn't have time to inquire further and quickly placed Alisha onthe small bed.

Reuben opened his toolbox, preparing for the procedure, and asked,"What's wrong with her? She doesn't seem like she's asleep. Why didshe pass out?"

Luther didn't deny it. "She was crying and throwing a tantrum, so Imade her faint. Can you really perform the surgery and anesthesia?"He confirmed once again, not entirely at ease.

“I can. But where is the person who will dismantle the unlockingdevice? Are there only the two of us?"

As Reuben spoke, he had already set up a plastic sheeting tent. Itwasn't large, just enough to cover Alisha completely.

He himself put on a full set of sterilized clothing and gloves. "This is aprofessional temporary sterile tent, allowing for aseptic operations. Afterall, we need to open the chest, although it won't go too deep. Butconsidering Alisha’s fragile condition, it's better to be cautious. We don'twant any surgical infections.”

"Okay." It wasn't until this moment that Luther truly felt it. He finallybelieved that Reuben was indeed a medical professional. Reuben'sactions looked extremely professional, and he had thought everythingthrough.

“I will dismantle the unlocking device myself. We don't need someonespecialized in explosives.” Luther spoke while opening his own toolbox."I already saw the location of the unlocking device earlier. You prepare,and when I'm ready, I'll give you the signal. You can start. I willdismantle the unlocking device simultaneously. Once I dismantle it, youcan safely remove the detonator. But you only have five minutes. Onceunlocked, I can interfere with satellite signals, blocking them for fiveminutes. It's impossible to maintain the blockage for too long. Once itfails, it will trigger the alarm in Athena's hand, and she will know that weare attempting to remove the detonator and micro-explosive devicefrom Alisha's body.”

Luther emphasized, taking a deep breath. "So, you only have fiveminutes. Once you remove the detonator and micro-explosive device,you must throw them into this bucket.”

As he said this, Luther handed a cylinder to Reuben, placing it at hisfeet and opening the lid.

"Don't underestimate this cylinder. It was specially made by my people.The explosion-proof lining inside is sufficient to withstand severalkilograms of TNT. You throw the detonator and micro-explosive deviceinside, immediately cover the bucket, and lock it. This way, thedetonator and micro-explosive device will explode inside, withoutcausing any external impact. That willensure our success. Becauseonce the detonator is removed from the body, the micro-explosivedevice will explode one minute later. So, you have to be quick, notwasting even a second.”

"Wow, this is high-tech, amazing. Luther, I didn't expect you to know allthis. You can dismantle it yourself." Reuben didn't hesitate to praisehim. "You have thought of everything. Don't worry, I will finish within fiveminutes."

"Good. I will start now." Luther didn't waste any more words.

In fact, he had spent a lot of effort studying this micro-explosivedismantling technique recently. During his free time, he had conductednumerous experiments. He had some basic knowledge before, havingdelved deeper into explosives after Joyce was bound with a timedbomb by Yan Jun. After Joyce disappeared, he regretted it and spentcountless sleepless nights full of remorse. Over those thousand-plusnights, he read many books on explosives because he didn't want sucha thing to happen again. With his extensive reading and his naturaltalent, he had become an expert in explosives.

That's why he didn't need a military explosives expert for this operation,nor did he need Felix's support in explosive dismantling.

From the beginning, he had planned to study and solve it himself.

In this operation, he didn't want to disturb Joyce, but he couldn't trustoutsiders. Only he could save Alisha. He had to bring his completedaughter back home.

He quickly approached the unlocking device and turned on hisflashlight.

Opening the outer cover of the device revealed a complex array ofcircuits, with thousands of connections, more intricate than he hadimagined. The red display continuously flickered, resembling the eyesof a crimson beast in the darkness. It looked ominous.

Luther held his breath, forcing himself to calm down. He quickly andcarefully traced the circuits, then cut the first copper wire.
