Chapter 152 The legendary gene

Chen Yan suddenly realized that no wonder he was so kind in sending money to his door. It turned out that he was pressed for time and had to find someone who knew his third uncle well.

Now that I think about it, time is really running out.

According to what he had learned before, more and more extraordinary beings who had been injured by Ogami were tracking Malina's whereabouts for the legendary "blood with strange healing power".

The third uncle is one of the people who knows the whereabouts of Marina.

Chen Yan thought to himself that what Colin Frankenstein said "there are too many people who want to find the whereabouts of the third uncle" may have been released by some thoughtful people because of the news that "the third uncle knew where the blood was."

.

So, those who couldn't find Marina turned to look for the third uncle.

Who is the person who deliberately spread the news?

Chen Yan didn't have any clues about that person's identity.

Chen Yan thought for a moment and responded: "As a graduate student at Miskatonic University, plus 25 pounds - a very generous reward, what do you need me to do?"

A response came from the microphone: "The project I am researching is [Research on Abnormal Evolution of Subhuman Races].

That is to study the [sublimation ritual] of demihumans in [abnormal conditions].”

"I want to find out how Liang Ansheng evolved from a lower-ranking bloodline [Diplastida, Squamata, Snakes] to a [Ophiosaurus, Arthroplasty, Anaconda] that originally only existed in legends

Gene."

Chen Yan's eyes were dazed for a moment as he listened to this unfamiliar outline.

"What did you say? Which class is it? I have never heard of it... I have reason to suspect that you are lying!"

Chen Yan's ignorance made the voice on the phone become very cheerful:

"It's beyond your comprehension, isn't it?

Mr. Chen, the world is actually very different from what you and I imagined.

Our civilization was destroyed in the Blood Moon catastrophe thousands of years ago, and all documents recording history were burned in the flames.

We do not know what happened thousands of years ago. We can only rely on our eyes to discern the original face of this world from the fog that has emerged in modern times.

Mr. Chen, this is the meaning of the existence of occultism - problems that cannot be studied from history should be studied and answered by occultism.

We are researchers of mysticism, we have the courage to face the fear of the unknown, and we have even found ways to enable the human brain to carry the knowledge of gods.

Now is an opportunity, Mr. Chen, I really appreciate you, and I really want you to seize this opportunity. After all... Senior Xiangu's recommendation is really valuable."

Chen Yan never said anything about what the so-called "Ophiozoa, Anaconda, and Anaconda" were.

In other words, the guy on the phone is losing his appetite.

Chen Yan understood what he meant, and therefore began to remain silent for half a minute.

Fine snowflakes beat on the windows, and the half-circle of the first quarter moon hanging in the night sky makes people feel more peaceful. The bells from the Moon Clock Tower in the city center are ringing from 1 to 8 - it is now 8 o'clock in the evening.

.

Colin Frankenstein quietly waited for Chen Yan's response, just like waiting for a prey that would surely step into a bear trap.

Half a minute later, Chen Yan spoke.

"No, you have to give me the 25 pounds first. Otherwise, if I go to the Lower City and die accidentally, who will be responsible for me!"

Colin Frankenstein's angry voice came from the microphone:

"Mr. Chen! You are such a common man! What a waste of your talent! Do you know that only one person in a million can awaken the eye in the skull! Those who are qualified to participate in the mechanical ascension experiment are God's favorites!

And you! You actually talked to me about money!

You've wasted everything!

You reek of copper! I despise you for this!"

Chen Yan pinched his nose: "Stop talking nonsense, just tell me whether you will give it or not."

An angry voice came from the other end of the phone: "No!"

Chen Yan: "Goodbye."

The person on the phone suddenly panicked: "Wait!"

Chen Yan: "Hmm?"

A distorted voice of compromise came from the microphone: "Five pounds! I will pay you five pounds in advance as your operational capital! The rest will be given to you after the matter is completed!"

Chen Yan was unreasonable: "25 pounds, even if it's a penny less, there's no need to talk about it."

There was a choking sound coming from the phone, followed by Colin Frankenstein's rapid coughing.

When the coughing sound fell, a response came from the microphone.

"OK!"

Chen Yan opened his eyes wide and said, "How can you give it to me?"

The voice on the phone was helpless: "I... will mail it to you tomorrow!"

Chen Yan immediately responded: "When will the money arrive, when will I start working?"

Colin Frankenstein said angrily: "As you wish! Mr. Chen! I hope you can really do it!"

"Good night!"

He hung up the phone angrily.

Huh? You agreed so easily? Didn’t you consider the fact that I took the money and didn’t do the work?

Chen Yan was not angry, and his inner emotions were only curiosity and emotion.

These academic people in the empire are really rich!

You can take out 25 pounds casually, and this 25 pounds is likely to be wasted - this Colin Frankenstein is even richer than some middle-class people on the high street.

Chen Yan knew in his heart that this guy casually dumped 25 pounds, not only because he was rich, but also because he had nothing to do - the matter in Xiacheng District involved too many people, and Colin...

Frankenstein obviously didn’t want to go in directly, so he had to pay someone to do it for him.

That 25 pounds was Chen Yan's remuneration and the opportunity cost that Colin Frankenstein paid for his research project.

Even if the speculation fails, the impact on him will be nothing more than a loss of some money.

For Chen Yan, who enters the body in the flesh, if he fails, he may lose his life.

Chen Yan thought to himself that Colin Frankenstein may not have only found him, but may have also found other people to find out about the third uncle - this was a research cost that that guy could afford.

But no matter what, Chen Yan feels that making money is feasible.

That’s 25 pounds!

If the Byron Weiss Group had not been able to reimburse the tax bill, Chen Yan would probably have been ruined by now, because his savings have been almost exhausted.

If it weren't for those tax bills that could be reimbursed, Chen Yan would have risked being targeted by gangs to sell those two pieces of gold.

Too many people are targeted for pawning valuable items and end up dying in dark alleys or suddenly dying in their own homes.

Even Third Uncle had specifically emphasized to Chen Yan before that he should never expose his money in front of others.

If Chen Yan could earn these 25 pounds, he would truly have his own savings, and he would not need to stare at the two pieces of gold that he could only look at but not spend every day.

At the same time, he also has to bear the risk of facing the corrupt third uncle - this is not a difficult task, and Chen Yan was originally entrusted by Lawrence to investigate the third uncle.

Interestingly, what Lawrence wants to investigate and what Colin Frankenstein wants to investigate are actually the same thing——

Namely [Why the Third Uncle was able to complete the ‘impossible’ sublimation ceremony].

If Chen Yan solves this matter, he will kill two birds with one stone.
