As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 52: Jeha.Moro
Luo Shu's heart skipped a beat. Professor Philip had always given him the impression of being wise and calm, and he had never heard Professor Philip sound so panicked.

"Professor, what happened?"

"We seem to be surrounded by Chevrolets!" Professor Philip shouted.

Luo Shu never thought that there would be a day when he would be invited to have tea with the FBI. Those Chevrolet Suburbans are the FBI's special agents' vehicles.

"Name?"

"Shu Luo"

"Profession?"

"PhD in Astronomy, University of Hawaii at Hilo"

"Tell me in detail what happened today? What did you do?"

"Today, like every other Friday, I am doing my daily observation work at the Mauna Kea Observatory. I am mainly responsible for checking whether there are any abnormal signals from the observation instruments."

The white secret agent in a suit sitting opposite Luo Shu motioned for him to continue.

"Then I found that a radio telescope had received a series of radio signals from deep space, and by calculating the attenuation of the radio signals, I estimated that the radio signals came from Pluto.

At this point I was pretty sure there were no human devices on Pluto, and then I decrypted the radio signal and found it was a URL, so I logged in to the URL and was brought back here.”

After Luo Shu was brought back by the FBI, he realized that the content on that website was very likely true and the signal was also coming from Pluto.

His mind was full of questions. Who was Merlin? Did the soul really exist? What was on Pluto?
The white FBI agent seemed to see what he was thinking: "We don't know whether those things are real or fake, so don't think too much about it."

"The question is not over yet, are you sure you didn't see anything?"

Luo Shu nodded frantically, fearing that if he answered, the FBI would see him and he would be locked up for life or even disappear from the face of the earth.

The white agent took a piece of A4 white paper filled with words and said, "Here, sign this."

Luo Shu picked it up and read it word by word. The general content was that he was not allowed to tell anyone about the news of magic.com in any way. It was a confidentiality agreement with very strict requirements.

"Sorry, you don't have the right to refuse." The white special agent saw Luo Shu's hesitation.

"Okay, okay, I'll sign it." Luo Shu signed his name generously in the last column of the A4 paper. "Sir, can I go now?"

"I'm sorry, you may need to stay with us for a while, maybe a day, maybe a week, maybe a month." The white special agent said sorry, but his expression did not show any embarrassment at all.

Luo Shu asked, "Are those who came with me going to stay here too?"

When Luo Shu was arrested by the FBI, there were five other people at Mauna Kea Observatory, including Professor Philip, two researchers and two doctors.

White agent: "They should also stay here for a while. You can stay together while you are here, but you know what you can't say."

Time goes back to twelve hours ago, when Zheng Li teleported a modified tardigrade to Pluto.

After recovering his magic power for a period of time, Zheng Li was able to teleport creatures like tardigrades, which are only 50 microns in size, over ultra-long distances.

The modified tardigrades were transported to Pluto and continued to send regular radio signals to the blue planet.

Observatories on the blue planet and even astronomy enthusiasts can receive this wireless radio signal.

After America's Area 51 captured it for the first time, they used the strength of the radio signals received at different locations to accurately calculate that the location where the signal came from was Pluto.

After discovering that the radio signal was Morse code and deciphering it, they immediately reported it. Then the FBI in America began to operate, focusing on monitoring the network routes near observatories across America. Whenever they found a switch jumping to the magic website, the special forces would immediately go out and arrest the person.

"Can't the magic.com domain name be blocked?" Duke, the FBI's head of information technology, said dissatisfiedly.

"We tried to block magic through the firewall using DNS pollution, but found that we couldn't block magic.com."

"We now switch to using SNI detection and IP blackhole detection."

Person in charge: "Please hurry up, we have almost locked up all the astronomers in America, I need you to block magic.com as soon as possible."

Half an hour later, the subordinate was sweating and said, "I'm sorry, we tried every possible means but couldn't block magic.com. This domain name seems to be transmitted directly point-to-point, and it doesn't seem to pass through our network equipment."

"Fuck!"

Duke picked up the phone and dialed: "Dave, how are you doing over there?"

Dave is also a special agent under Duke, a technical special agent. He flew from Washington to California overnight: "I found through ICCAN that the magic domain name is in the hands of Larry Fischer, who is now in Texas."

Duke ordered, "I'll go find the boss and apply for the FBI's authorization in Texas. You go to Texas and find him right now."

The University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, the flagship campus of the University of Michigan system, is particularly friendly to Chinese students and is relatively easy to apply to.

Jieha was giving remote lessons to his students in his villa when there was a knock on the door. "Sorry, it looks like there's an anxious guest here."

Jeha stood at the window and looked out. The three men were dressed in black and two in white. Their bodies could be described as muscular. "I have a feeling trouble is coming."

"Professor, I'm sorry to bother you at this time. I'm Ali from the FBI, and these two are the Michigan State Police."

"We need to ask you for a small favor." said the black man among the three men.

After that, Ali and the other two showed their ID cards.

Jha took out three N95 masks from the room and put them on the ground. "You have to put these on first. I'm too old to bear the tossing."

The three men removed the medical masks from their mouths and replaced them with N95 masks. Jha continued: "We need to keep a certain distance."

Nothing could shock Jha, who was almost eighty years old. "Should I go with you guys or do you come in and talk?"

"Please tell me how long it will take so I can ask my students for leave."

Ali: "Let's go in and talk first. Professor, you also need to prepare. This may take a few days or it may take a long time."

Jieha sighed, "Well, normally this won't last for just a few days. I'll go ask for leave from my students first."

Only Ali and Jha entered his villa, while two other state police officers stood outside the door, acting as guards.

Ali waited quietly for Jha to sit in front of him again, then took out a special pad from his briefcase and handed it to Jha: "Professor, please look at this first."

Jieha took it, glanced at the title, and read it out directly: "On the method of proving the existence of the soul."

He chuckled and said, "Are you here to tease an old man like me? Where is the camera? It's rare for someone to be so serious about teasing an old man like me."

“Do you plan to upload the video to YouTube or Tik Tok?”
