"Dean, please rest assured about such a small matter. I will definitely make you feel at ease when I handle matters like this."
Lu Qi cupped her hands and watched the dean leave. Then she turned back to the room and slowly lay down on the bed.
Lying on the bed at this time, he did not fall asleep immediately, but he had some doubts about the decision made by the doctor and the dean.
He was struggling and hesitating. He didn't know whether the bold decision was right or not, and he didn't know whether such a decision was stupid. But now he had no way to go. Since he had embarked on this path, he would start from one side of the matter.
From the beginning, the way back was already blocked.
Although he had some regrets, he had no choice but to retreat.
Not only for my family, but also for myself to get rid of the poisonous problem.
Therefore, he must do this, even if he doesn't know what is right or wrong, he can only do it.
After a long time, he slowly fell asleep while struggling, and the next drama had just begun to unfold.
...
"Phew, we're finally here."
I shook my aching arm slightly, and couldn't help but reveal a wry smile: "It's really exhausting me to go through all the tests. It's true. There are too many test subjects."
The reason I feel tired is not because of anything else, but mainly because we have killed many numbered test subjects along the way.
Although it was really nice to absorb energy during the journey, the problem was that due to the long battle, my arms were a little sore and my whole body was a little tired.
My whole person felt like I was about to escape from exhaustion.
So much so that when I looked at Jiang Teng on the other side, I was even more tired.
After all, the weight of your weapon is determined here.
And it's okay to fight a few monsters. But protecting others while fighting monsters will be exhausting.
Qiu Wuyun is defenseless, and if we let her get hurt again, then we will be doing a big sin.
So I seemed a little tired along the way.
As I said that, I took a step forward and used the key to open the built-in lock in front of the door, and slowly pushed the door open.
I poked my head into the corridor, and sure enough, it was.
The corridor was deserted, there wasn't even a mouse. After seeing this scene, I breathed a sigh of relief and stepped into the corridor.
Sure enough, I didn't even see where the light bulbs or wires were installed in this building. It looked like it was indeed a building without a lighting system.
I don't know if it's because I'm afraid that the monster will damage it, it will be troublesome to repair it later, or for some other reason, but it's extremely dark here.
So much so that I couldn't help but shudder even when accompanied by two people.
As I moved forward, Qiu Wuyun and Jiang Teng followed closely behind.
"Let's take a rest. I'm a little tired. Let's eat something and drink some water. Let's talk about other things later."
I put my backpack on the corridor with my backhand, and couldn't help but sigh tiredly.
"Well, since you said that, let's take a break."
Having said this, Jiang Teng also sat down on the ground, expressing his agreement with my idea.
"Is there any fabric?"
I glanced at Jiang Teng and asked softly.
"have."
Jiang Teng nodded.
Soon, Jiang Teng took out a square cloth from his backpack so that we could place the food on it.
Of course, Qiu Wuyun and I also quickly took out some fast food such as hamburger instant noodles and compressed biscuits from our backpacks to quickly reduce the weight of the package.
"By the way, let me ask you something."
I chewed the dry noodles in my mouth again and again, and raised my head to ask Jiang Teng, who was eating a burger in front of me.
"What's the matter? Tell me."
Jiang Teng quickly swallowed the object in his mouth, turned his head and asked me what I thought.
"Should we go directly to settle accounts with them, or should we go upstairs to collect souls and improve some armor?"
After I finished eating the crispy noodles in my hand, I drank again and again.
Take a sip of water to relieve your physical fatigue.
"Let's improve the armor first, otherwise, I'm afraid based on our strength alone, people will die."
Speaking of this, Jiang Teng smiled bitterly and sighed.
"By the way, do you know anything more about these coins?"
I said this, stretched out my hand and rubbed my nose: "I always feel that there are many things you haven't told me."
"Well...then what do you want to ask?"
Jiang Teng glanced at me, and then swallowed the burger in his hand in three bites.
"I want to ask you. I always feel that it is definitely not that simple for him to collect the corpses of these monsters and the armor activators. I want to know if you know the inside story?"
Having said this, I did not forget to reach out and take out a few bags of snacks and taste them quickly.
"The inside story...well...I don't know much about this, but I know that if I collect five activators and combine the power of the activators, I can completely dispel all the problems in the five coins.
The power it contains, if nothing unexpected happens, this power should be able to open the door to a tunnel in another world, and this other world is called the Land of Nothingness."
When Jiang Teng said this, he raised his hand and drank a bottle of water: "Having said that, the Land of Nothingness is really a wonderful place."
"The land of nothingness? What is that?"
I frowned slightly, and some strange fantasies appeared in my mind.
An empty place? The void? The birthplace of aliens? A strange planet? Other planes? Parallel worlds?
But I quickly shook my head and rejected my idea.
"The Land of Nothingness, according to legend, is a place without human beings or advanced intelligent life. There, it is not only rich in mineral resources, but also extremely interesting creatures and plants. Such wonderful scenes are recorded in the records
The description is extremely beautiful. The richness of various resources is simply astonishing."
Having said this, Jiang Teng grabbed another chicken leg, chewed it, and added: "In addition, according to legend, there are some good things there that humans can't get on earth, but what are they specifically?
, I don’t know.”
"Then what you said is true or false, is there any basis for it?"
When I heard this, I couldn't help but frown slightly, and I was also skeptical about this kind of thing.
After all, without evidence, these hearsay words are just bullshit.
"I have evidence, and the evidence is very obvious."
Speaking of this, Jiang Teng drank several sips of mineral water again.
"Huh? On what basis?"
Hearing this, I quickly asked.
"That's what we can clearly see when we go down to the ancient tombs. We see in the ancient tombs strange flowers and plants that are not found on our planet. And even after so many years, they still have not withered and remain the same as before.
color.”
Having said this, Jiang Teng also stretched out his hand and gestured: "Based on the texture that our fingers touched, we found that this thing is no different from normal flowers, and the fragrance is also very special, so..."
"Is there any other evidence?"
Qiu Wuyun asked.
"Yes, yes."
Jiang Teng nodded and continued to explain to us: "There are many ores and elements that have never been seen in this ancient tomb. Moreover, the stone tablet recording this incident is also very old, and there is no explanation of its root cause.
There is a possibility of fraud. So, this is why I believe this."
"If you say that, then I understand."
Hearing this, I nodded thoughtfully.
"What, do you have any unique ideas?"
Jiang Teng stopped chewing and asked softly.
"It's not a unique idea, but I have a bad idea."
At this point, I slowly raised my head and explained softly: "After so many years on this planet, I don't know how many civilizations were born here, and I don't know how many civilizations are peeking in.
Looking at this land of nothingness. If the door to the land of nothingness is opened by then, what if other civilizations appear? Will we be slaughtered? Whether all kinds of weirder things will happen, I don’t know.
"
"Your idea is what Dr. Chen was worried about at the beginning."
Jiang Teng took a sip of mineral water to moisten his throat: "After all, what you need to know is that Dr. Chen has read poetry and books all because he is afraid of this kind of dark forest situation happening."
"Then what do you mean..."
When I got here, my voice became slightly lowered.
"This was the biggest disagreement between Dr. Chen and his assistant, who is now the dean."
Jiang Teng put down the mineral water in his hand and explained very seriously: "The assistant at the time believed that the Land of Nothingness should be opened as soon as possible, and then the discovery should be slowly announced to mankind, and then receive a lot of praise and recognition from the scientific community. And Dr. Chen
It is believed that this dangerous force needs to be protected. Therefore, this is the key to the problem between the two."
"If this problem is eliminated, can the two of them continue to cooperate?"
I asked softly.
"Probably...but now that the matter has reached this point, it is difficult to recover. The result cannot be changed."
Speaking of this, Jiang Teng also showed a wry smile.
"Well...it's exactly what I expected."
When I heard this, I nodded thoughtfully.
"Huh? So what do you think?"
Jiang Teng glanced at me and asked softly what I thought.
"My idea is to be on the safe side. Not because I am a coward. But because there is no need to take risks now. After all, mankind has not reached the moment of life and death. But if you open this thing, it will be like opening Pandora's box.
There will be an astonishing disaster."
Having said this, my sixth sense is already trembling crazily: "My sixth sense is trembling crazily, which seems to prove the accuracy of my idea. If such a thing comes true, the consequences will be disastrous."
"I understand, but no one thought at the time... things would develop like this."
When Jiang Teng said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "I originally thought that everyone was going to develop in harmony... but I didn't expect that something like this happened."
"I hope we can successfully rewrite this kind of thing and never let humanity risk falling into crisis."
I slowly stood up and reached out to pat Jiang Teng on the shoulder.
"Well, you're right."
Jiang Teng nodded, agreeing with my opinion.
"Qiu Wuyun, what do you think?"
I turned my head and took a look at Qiu Wuyun, who was just feeling a little bit underneath.
"To tell you the truth, my thoughts are actually more terrifying."
When Qiu Wuyun said this, her whole expression became a little gloomy.
"What are your thoughts?"
Jiang Teng was a little confused.
"For example...I mean for example."
When Qiu Wuyun said this, she pursed her lips, and there was a hint of worry in her expression: "If we say that this civilization has been pretending to be weak from the beginning, and then it is waiting for humans to explore on a large scale, it will use all its power to devour us.
civilization, and then restore this place to life and reuse this method to continue fishing?”
Listening to Qiu Wuyun's thoughts, Jiang Teng and I couldn't help but froze in place. For a moment, you looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing what to say.
After all, although such an idea is horrifying, it is not impossible.
After all, no matter how much you think about it, it always feels too false when you hear that there is no civilization on a planet.
Therefore, this kind of worry is not impossible, and is even an excellent idea.
If we say this, then we have to think about human civilization.
"By the way, the stone tablets at that time also recorded that there were various monsters there, but the monsters were not strong enough. They were as weak as ants."
Jiang Teng suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly added.
