Hu Zhuangzhuang quickly removed the probe upon being reminded: "Sorry, sorry, it might not be well calibrated yet. I'll fix it when I get back."
"It's okay," Xia Ye looked out the window, where Gao Yanyan had just pulled the curtains shut, obscuring any clear view of the surroundings.
A bird? A wild cat?
Xia Ye frowned slightly, "Did something just pass by the window?"
The team members looked at each other; their attention had been on the sudden spike of the instrument's dial, and none had noticed anything outside the window.
Hu Zhuangzhuang tapped the instrument twice: "It fails right at the crucial moment. This never happened during the tests, did it?"
Xia Ye slowly shifted her gaze from the window to the instrument in his hand.
Was the instrument really... broken?
