Professor Guo looked at Cheng Ye, suddenly smiled, and said easily: "I still remember that when our institute was recruiting people, you were the most inconspicuous among that group of people."
"He looks like a young boy, with a simple and dull look."
"When you were promoted to associate professor, no one was optimistic about you... Dongsheng was obviously more suitable for this position than you. After all, professors have to do not only scientific research, but also interpersonal relationships. Not only do you have to report to superiors, , and you have to manage each team member well.”
"But I still put you in this position against all odds, because I think you have a bright future and you are a talent."
Professor Guo spoke very sincerely. He even narrowed his eyes slightly as if he was recalling.
Cheng Ye stared at Professor Guo with a confused expression.
It looks very much like the original owner's lack of understanding of the world.
In fact, I secretly cursed: Old fox.
What he just wanted to say was obviously not this. Now that he is trying to make up for it...if the original owner might have believed it.
But Cheng Ye didn't believe it.
The old fox changed his posture the moment he raised his eyebrows.
His body was leaning forward slightly, listening carefully to what he said, but now, he leaned back slightly, obviously not wanting to ask more questions.
Cheng Ye thought for a moment and then changed the topic: "Professor Guo, you are my most beloved professor... I just said so much, you have studied stones longer than me, haven't you discovered anything more? ?”
Professor Guo's expression froze, and then he started to laugh: "As soon as I discovered the anomaly, I immediately sealed off the original laboratory, and then changed the research direction..."
I've told you everything I can.
Cheng Ye lowered his eyes.
It's a piece of shit, but luckily, I also saved a few tricks...
Professor Guo obviously has a lot of things he is hiding from himself.
From the first meeting to now, he seems to be constantly testing, testing, and then feeding himself some bait from time to time.
Tempt yourself to reveal your findings and then get carried away.
Like just now.
He actually showed no surprise at the clues he had summarized.
Just pure appreciation and interest.
The excitement in his eyes was not the excitement of a scientific researcher, but some kind of pride.
Yes, proud.
It seemed that the original owner's upright and inhumane demeanor had penetrated deeply into his heart.
As a result, he was unwilling to even act in full.
The whole person's state is very relaxed.
It is a kind of pride: 'Even if I make no secret in front of him, he will never find any clues of pride. '
pity.
Cheng Ye looked at Professor Guo and suddenly laughed humbly.
Now Zhang Lin's body has changed a core, and it is no longer the original Zhang Lin.
Therefore, Professor Guo’s slight expression has nowhere to hide.
I only heard Cheng Ye say calmly: "Thank you Professor Guo for your support along the way. I suddenly feel uncomfortable and want to go back and rest."
He didn’t wait for Professor Guo’s consent.
Cheng Ye stood up directly and walked out of the laboratory.
Ah, yes.
He deliberately showed a different attitude than before.
Just to cause Professor Guo to panic.
Old fox, I want to go there one day.
Think carefully about why I have changed so much.
Cheng Ye's dark eyes shone with joy, and there was a faint smile on his lips.
The back is straight and the posture is handsome.
Step by step, we stepped out of the laboratory.
Professor Guo sat there, just as Cheng Ye thought, and raised his face in contemplation.
There was great confusion on his old face, and he seemed very puzzled...
.......
After coming out of the community, the streets were deserted.
Perhaps it's because the neighborhood has been emptied out that the people around it have become sparse.
Cheng Ye is now plagued by bad luck.
He could feel that his body was a little heavier than before.
It's like walking with a gas tank on your back.
Is the same fate shared by others?
'Move forward with a heavy load'?
By the way, if you are a starving ghost...
If you don’t eat or drink, will you starve to death or the ghost?
Cheng Ye frowned, feeling unprecedented urgency.
Yesterday, a bunch of bad luck stared at me, and some kind of bad luck chose me.
And today, I have become the nourishment of misfortune...
Cheng Ye sighed.
Fortunately, he had saved his mind just now and did not reveal one thing to Professor Guo.
That is: the two worlds are quietly merging.
That missing floor, that unreachable 18th floor.
There may be areas like this in other parts of the city.
Perhaps the contagion of bad luck is not caused by a single stone.
They are already everywhere.
Therefore, he has a deeper guess——
Perhaps the people around him have been replaced.
.......
Cheng Ye stood on the side of the road and did not rush to the subway entrance.
He didn't want to wolf down another portion of the sugar-oil mixture.
The system had just updated the map of the old laboratory. He was going to go to the old laboratory to have a look, and also check the ways of death of other people.
After all, how they died was all learned through Professor Guo's mouth.
But Professor Guo's performance today made him hesitate...
Perhaps he is not as innocent as he seems.
Cheng Ye took a taxi and waited quietly on the roadside.
The whole street was empty, even the shops facing the street were closed.
This area seemed to have fallen into a deathly silence.
It's like a no man's land after a disaster.
Deserted.
Cheng Ye looked into the distance.
A car drove slowly from a distance.
It brought a touch of life to this sleepy area.
It was as if something alive had finally arrived in an uninhabited town.
Cheng Ye got in the car, told the driver his last number, and listened to the driver say a series of things he had to say.
I turned on my phone and decided to check if other people's deaths had been reported.
Especially Xiao Wang’s.
He died suddenly on the highway. Logically speaking, it would be reported as news...
Cheng Ye lowered his head and was immersed in his own world.
There is no information about the deaths of other researchers.
Perhaps it was because the death of the first scientific researcher made the institute prepared, so subsequent deaths were blocked.
If the old man (Professor Guo) is really as slow as he said.
When the experiment reached the third stage, I felt something was wrong.
So how could you make the next preparations so quickly?
Cheng Ye turned his face sideways and looked at the receding scenery outside the window.
His side face has clean lines, revealing a sense of indifference and alienation.
Is it possible that Professor Guo predicted the death of all members very early on?
And you are the last one?
Cheng Ye narrowed his eyes and suddenly remembered the way the curse spread in the [Missing] copy.
It is a concept that if you believe it, you have it, and if you don’t believe it, you don’t have it.
Professor Guo deliberately let himself read the documents from the beginning of the meeting.
In the words, the horror of doom is constantly exaggerated.
In the last stage of the speech, give yourself a heavy hammer and tell yourself that they are all dead.
Could these actions be all to convince yourself of the existence of bad luck?
What about this bad luck?
wrong.
Cheng Ye narrowed his eyes.
He didn't believe in bad luck, but he was already in a strange place...
Therefore, it is real that stones contaminate bad luck.
Professor Guo has another purpose...
What could it be......
Cheng Ye put away his endless speculations and looked back at the phone in his hand.
Search: "Highway, sudden death" and other information.
As a result, the news was not blocked.
Just as Cheng Ye guessed.
Because sudden death on the highway is a big news, it is curious enough, and the probability of happening is extremely small.
So it will be reported by reporters as soon as possible.
However, the information of the deceased is hidden.
I just scribbled a few words, saying that it might be due to too much overtime and the fact that the summer vacation was coming to an end and I wanted to go home to see my daughter, but this tragedy happened.
The ending is very official and tells everyone to pay more attention to rest and not to get on the highway when you are extremely tired.
hehe.
Cheng Ye turned off his phone.
There isn't any useful information.
The only thing of value is that of the female researcher.
...
The car arrived at its destination quickly.
The laboratory is not far from his home.
It is a large park with several roads up the mountain. One of the narrow roads has an electronic gate, and inside is the laboratory.
It is located halfway up the mountain and is a three-story house.
It looks no different from an ordinary building. Even if a sports person accidentally passes by here, not only will there be a door blocking it, but the straight-line distance will remain more than ten meters.
Very safe, separated from all buildings, well lit and well ventilated.
This should be a level four laboratory.
so......
Cheng Ye's eyes flashed with amusement.
Why did the old man have to move the stone from such a safe place to a temporary laboratory?
Since he has vaguely guessed that the stone is contagious.
How could he make such a dangerous move?
Can the safety index of a temporary laboratory be as high as that of a stand-alone laboratory?
Cheng Ye stood far away, staring at the small three buildings in front of him.
He recalled again what the old man had said.
Suddenly I felt extremely ridiculous.
Professor Guo's stereotype of Zhang Lin led to his own mistakes.
Perhaps in the old man's view, Zhang Lin only thinks about experiments and has only experiments in his mind, so he can get by with a simple lie.
In order to prevent the stone from having worse consequences, the stone that exudes bad luck was moved from the laboratory with the highest safety index to a temporary laboratory...
He really has it...
Cheng Ye stepped forward and opened the electronic access control with his employee card.
It seems that no one has been here for a long time. The fallen leaves in the yard have fallen all over the floor, and no one has cleaned them.
It looked desolate and desolate, like a forgotten place.
Maybe this laboratory is just for their research...
yes!
Cheng Ye suddenly stopped.
How could he have missed this detail.
His specialty is the study of infection!
He is a professor of infectious diseases.
The radioactivity of that stone is none of his business!
Maybe what he was studying at the beginning was infection?
They entered this project halfway.
Maybe someone had noticed something was wrong before them.
They got involved in the project by trying to figure out what the stone was and why it was contagious.
On the first day he came to this world, the system gave him information about him.
Just a few sentences.
And these few words must be valuable.
Cheng Ye's mind suddenly recalled the appearance of the stone.
A colorful stone.
Glittering light flows.
Although the texture is so heavy, it can easily float in mid-air.
Anyone who sees this will not think it is ordinary.
But Professor Guo downplayed it and said it was picked up casually on the ground.
If Professor Guo hadn't tricked him, the stone would have changed day by day.
If it's really the same every day, then studying is useless!
Professor Guo was lying from the beginning.
What he was arrogant about was his understanding of Zhang Lin.
In his stereotype, Zhang Lin would not be interested in these trivial matters.
All he cared about was research.
Cheng Ye remembered what Professor Guo said to him when he first met him:
"Have you forgotten? We have moved the laboratory a long time ago."
"They all noticed something was wrong, but you were the only one who was focused on studying it."
"The other members of the institute are dead, did you know that?"
...
He was so sure of himself that he would never care about these things.
He even explained why we should study this stone.
This is all because, in his opinion, Zhang Lin, a fool, will not notice this at all.
Therefore, perhaps a lot of what he said was lies.
Professor Guo's constant attempts to test things were all due to Zhang Lin's sudden lateness and his seemingly human touch.
This made Professor Guo feel something was wrong.
That's why he tested it.
Cheng Ye's face became solemn.
This research is extremely confidential and taken very seriously.
It is a high-level study.
Something that has never appeared in the world is enough to make everyone wary.
so.
Professor Guo can only say that if a community is blocked, then the community should be blocked.
If you say you want to move the laboratory, move the laboratory.
Because he is the top person in charge of this project, he has his own purpose, but he uses research as a cover.
Everything he has done from the beginning to now has been for a certain purpose.
Professor Guo's face flashed through Cheng Ye's mind unconsciously.
Yesterday, when he was taken downstairs by the staff, he was clearly reminded that Professor Guo wanted to see him.
But Professor Guo was completely unaware of his arrival.
He lowered his head and pretended to read a document seriously.
Let yourself be curious, so come in quietly and try to read the words clearly.
He deliberately set himself up to discover what was written on that document.
It is more real because what you discover yourself.
This was all a trick Cheng Ye had failed at before, but he didn't expect that he would end up here this time.
Cheng Ye looked up at the building in front of him.
Suddenly, endless fear surged in my heart.
What on earth was Professor Guo trying to guide him...
What is the purpose of what he is throwing out step by step?
Cheng Ye closed his eyes and sighed.
The only thing that is certain now is: Professor Guo is not a good person.
When he opened his eyes again, Cheng Ye became calm and calm again.
Since you are confused, you can only move forward bravely.
He has been plagued by bad luck, who knows what unreasonable things will happen.
He must find a real way out before the worst results come.
Cheng Ye's eyes became firm and he strode forward.
In the building ahead, there will be the information he wants.
...
