"Besides, my current shadow is not the one that ran back from the laboratory."
"I don't know where the shadow that came back after 'transcendence' has gone now. I only know that it was still on me before I participated in the freshman competition, but after the freshman competition, it ran away... not only ran away
, it also packed up a lot of the knowledge and experience I brought back with me!”
The young public-funded student spoke sincerely and looked at the 'big researcher' in front of him with a sincere expression. He tried hard to distance himself from the relationship between himself and that damn shadow, lest he accidentally catch him and stuff him for dissection.
On stage.
Of course, even so, his description still had reservations - in fact, according to Xiao Xiao's explanation afterwards and the communication between the relevant department personnel codenamed 'Forty-one' brought by Lao Yao, Zheng Qing
You can probably guess where your shadow that 'transcended' from the two-dimensional world is now.
But in his opinion, this kind of thing is of great importance, and the fewer people know about it, the better.
Dr. Chen, who was floating in mid-air, tilted his head and stared at the young public-funded student without saying a word. The person he stared at with those bright eyes was hairy all over.
It took a long time until Su Shijun broke the silence.
"We can all see that he is not lying." Beauty Su adjusted the wide red glasses on her face and raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "In this case, there is no use in cutting off his shadow."
"Honesty and truth are not the same concept." Dr. Chen smiled kindly, but the meaning behind his words was very sharp: "Even if he told the truth, it does not mean that it is the truth."
"The fact is, I can allow him to help you complete some questionnaires and then provide some experimental data of DYDX-S-NO.1. That's it." Su Shijun's tone became slightly colder.
"Thank you very much." In mid-air, Dr. Chen's illusory figure nodded slightly, and after briefly expressing some gratitude, it turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the increasingly dimming night.
Zheng Qing's eyes chased the stream of light, watching it pass through the corridor, passing by the treetops, branches and the shadows of tall buildings in the distance, and finally seemed to disappear into the horizon, and he felt a faint uneasy feeling in his heart.
"Are you going to stand outside all night? Or do you want to go back now?!" Su Shijun's cold voice sounded from behind the public student, immediately drawing his attention back from his wandering distance.
Looking back, the senator of the Yuexia Parliament had already entered the laboratory building, and was about to turn into the corridor of the lobby on the first floor. Several fox maids followed her quietly, looking at the man who had fallen outside the laboratory building.
The witch doesn't care or ask.
Zheng Qing scratched his head.
He really wanted to leave now. Reason kept warning him that if he stayed with the most beautiful woman in the wizarding world, there would be a steady stream of troubles coming to his door - but listening to the tone of the witch's words just now, Zheng Qing felt that
If he really slipped away quietly, he might be kidnapped by a group of fox maids and thrown into Linzhong Lake.
Moreover, like any wizard in the wizarding world, Zheng Qing also likes to stay with Su Shijun for a while. This is true sincerity, not cowardice.
With these thoughts still running through his mind, the young public-funded student had already followed the witch's footsteps obediently.
"Pullingleng!"
A sound of flapping wings sounded in the air, blocking Zheng Qing's footsteps, and then a hoarse and vague shouting sounded in the empty and quiet hall:
"This is the Applied Magic Research Institute of the First University, the Dimension Ascension Experimental Research Institute... Please register when entering and exiting the gate, and irrelevant personnel please stay away..."
Zheng Qing listened to this familiar line, his eyes widened, and he looked at the fat budgie squatting on the birdstand at the front desk. After a while, he pointed at the retreating figure of Su Shijun and his group, and said calmly: "I
It was with them..."
"Are you a vixen?" The budgerigar tilted its head and blinked its small green bean-sized eyes, looking stupid.
"I am a human wizard." Zheng Qing felt like his head was full of black lines.
"So do you work in that laboratory with a long name? Do you have a work permit? I remember you were only a freshman in college! Hong Kong Zhen, we are already acquaintances, so you can't fool me." Budgie
It flapped its wings and kept chattering in its mouth.
Zheng Qing sighed and took out a quill pen and a handful of bird food from the gray cloth bag.
"I'd better fill out the application form." He resignedly pulled out a visitor form from the front desk, signed it hastily with his quill, and stuffed the handful of bird food into the budgie's food trough.
"Polite child." The parrot on duty praised. Without even looking at the form Zheng Qing filled out, he lowered his head and buried it in the pile of bird food.
At the same time, its muffled voice came from the trough: "Just fill in the form and go in directly... We are familiar with each other! No need to go through that troublesome process!"
After Zheng Qing filled out the form and put away his quill, he glanced suspiciously at the parrot that was eating with gusto - he suspected that he was stopped because the parrot wanted to catch the autumn breeze and get some food.
But it is better to do less than to do more. Zheng Qing would not spend an entire night arguing with a parrot whose brain is no bigger than a walnut over a handful of bird food.
"Excuse me, see you later!" Zheng Qing put down the completed form at the front desk, exchanged polite greetings, and turned around to find Su Shijun's laboratory.
"GOOD LUCK!" The budgerigar raised its wings and revealed a small eye from the food trough: "We heard that your shadow was cut off by those foxes last time... You must be careful this time! You are a good person, and you will live a good life.
Safety!"
Zheng Qing twitched his lips and finally decided to pretend that he didn't hear the parrot's blessing.
Turning along the long corridor into the depths of the laboratory building, Zheng Qing found the laboratory after a short walk - it had the same door, the same door number, and the same decorations as the last time he visited.
In the laboratory, it is still a long, square, air-raid shelter-like strip, empty and closed, with blue-gray walls, metallic-shiny skin, neatly arranged hexagonal stone platforms, and the stone platform on which
Large milky white light balls.
Everything was the same as Zheng Qing's previous visit, as if there had never been an explosion here. Although Zheng Qing was not at the scene of the explosion not long ago, based on the vibration and fire he felt in the distance, he originally thought that this place had been.
It was in ruins.
"This is the power of magic." The young public-funded student thought to himself. He glanced at the researchers in black robes and the big balls of light. Without stopping, he walked skillfully towards Su Shijun's office.
.
Maybe it was because Beauty Su had already spoken, or maybe it was just because the researchers were concentrating on their own work. In short, there was no one to guide or stop Zheng Qing from walking alone.
