"Ah! This passage is long and deep. You won't be exhausted walking down it. There is no train in this place. Dear Amy, please carry me and fly down there."
Lilia stared at the dark tunnel for a moment, then climbed on my back very consciously, and tightly clamped my slim waist with her white silk calves. This girl doesn't exercise much, but her legs are quite strong. Why is this?
Woolen cloth?
"Don't be so self-conscious, someone will come to pick us up later."
I peeled off Lilia's hands and feet and put her back on the ground. Carrying a steel plate on her back was not comfortable at all and I wasn't happy!
"Hey~ how did you know someone would come~"
"I heard."
Not long after, a small car drove from the depths of the tunnel. Lilia, who was still looking around, got behind me and hid like a kitten.
"What are you afraid of?"
I was a little amused by her reaction.
"Afraid of being beaten into a sieve~"
Lilia wanted to grab my clothes, but my sticker-like clothes were extremely difficult to grab, so she could only pull on the hem of my skirt.
"So you want to pull down my skirt and cause mental shock to the other person?"
"Stop making trouble, dear Amy~ quickly add a shield to me~"
"It has been added a long time ago."
"What about the duration?"
"24 hours."
Well, actually I don’t know how long my Holy Light Shield will be effective, but I guess it should be fine if it lasts for a few hours? I’ll ask Sister Aini to set an exact time next time.
The people who came to pick me up were still those unsympathetic men in black. They didn’t have any communication with me, they just parked there and waited for us to get in the car, and then drove us to the research institute without saying a word.
On the way, Lilia was peeping around to observe the situation around her, and the greedy light in her eyes shone brighter and brighter. I had to strangle her neck tightly and suffocate her to regain her consciousness.
The man in black did not go to the reception room, but took us directly to the gate of the core area. The middle-aged man in the mask was already waiting there, seeming to have guessed what we wanted to do.
"Hello, Miss Elumia, we meet again. If I'm not mistaken, you are here for a friend's business, right?"
The middle-aged man saluted me and said in a voice that was neither humble nor arrogant. This high-sounding tone was actually not that annoying.
"Um."
I nodded slightly coldly.
"Great, I have some good news for you. We happen to have spare treatment equipment here. Although it is not as exaggerated as the child's equipment, it should be no problem to treat your friend. We have carefully analyzed you
Regarding my friend’s condition, we all agree that we have the ability to control the condition and prevent it from getting worse..."
"Very good, she will be transferred to the hospital today. I have asked Cherry to handle related matters. You should be prepared now, she will come at any time."
I was in a good mood when I heard the news, so I interrupted his nonsense without hesitation. We hate formalities the most, so just saying the main idea is enough.
"Okay, young lady, I'll make the arrangements right now."
The middle-aged man agreed and started calling to dispatch his subordinates. I grabbed Lilia to prevent her from using her abilities to seize the laboratory. This research institute is so big, there must be a lot of equipment in it. I think Lilia
If it were to be controlled to death, I'm afraid it would directly kill people... I mean the lack of computing power would cause a blue screen of death, and then be sent directly to Yuli's company.
"Miss Elumia, I have made arrangements and your friend can come for treatment at any time."
After a while, the middle-aged man put away the phone and reported to me.
"Well, thank you very much, I will pay you accordingly."
I don't think these people will do good deeds for free. The only people in this world who do good deeds for free are fools and goddesses. In order for Youli to enjoy the best treatment, I must provide sufficient remuneration.
"You're welcome, Miss. It's our honor to serve you. We don't need any compensation..."
"You'd better want it, otherwise I won't worry."
I once again interrupted the middle-aged man's cliché.
"Haha~ Don't worry, Miss. Although we haven't found a complete cure yet, we are still very good at maintaining the status quo."
"Is there anything I can help with in this regard? This friend of mine has also made achievements in super energy conversion. Maybe she can provide you with some new ideas."
I pinched Lilia's head and pulled her out from behind.
"No, no, no~! I'm just a high school student who likes to make scientific inventions. I don't know anything~!"
Lilia denied it repeatedly in a very energetic voice, not knowing what she was afraid of.
"Miss Secorojack, right? I've heard of you for a long time. I heard that you are an expert in the field of super energy conversion, but you were assigned to Class S by the school without knowing it. What is your impression of our institute? If you like
If so, you can come directly to us to host a research project."
The middle-aged man seems to be very interested in Lilia. Is this girl so good? Then why is she still so miserable? The school must not be stupid, right? Since she has a lot of future, why put her in Class S? Middle-aged
Are people speaking politely or sincerely?
By the way, I didn’t even remember Lilia’s last name, but this middle-aged man actually knew it.
"No, no! I can't do anything, uncle, stop joking!"
Lilia shook her hand to remove the afterimage.
"Don't you want a research institute like this? Why don't you want to go?"
I asked as I patted her head.
"I have a phobia of underground facilities. I don't want to do research here!"
Lilia looked up at me with tears in her eyes and said cutely. Is this girl also a movie queen, and she cried so quickly?
"It seems she doesn't want to."
Helpless, I could only refuse on her behalf.
"It doesn't matter, I'm just suggesting it. But in order to overcome the difficulties as soon as possible, I really want to have some academic exchanges with the lady..."
"No communication, no communication! I have nothing to communicate with! You are much better than me!"
Lilia hid behind me again and shouted.
"I'll go back and talk to her, let's forget it now."
I shook my head at the middle-aged man.
"It's no problem, ma'am. I'll wait patiently."
The middle-aged man bowed.
"How is the child doing?"
I pointed to the isolation door behind the middle-aged man.
"It's still the same. All we can do now is maintain the status quo. Alas, we had made some progress before, but an accident occurred and our research results were wasted, so now we can only start over."
The middle-aged man sighed and looked regretful. From what he said, it seemed that there was an accident that caused the experimental data to be lost or something?
"What happened."
I asked out of curiosity.
"A competitor stole our research results and destroyed data backups."
"Is it very important data?"
"Of course, that is the result of the pathological basic research on the damage to consciousness caused by the loss of control of super energy. We were already close to figuring out the cause of this damage to consciousness, but we were forced to start over because of this accident. We are on this research
A lot of time and resources have been invested, and it is really sad that many research samples cannot withstand such research..."
"Do you know who stole the information?"
I interrupted the middle-aged man again and again.
"It's a pity that we didn't know, otherwise we could have gone through legal procedures to protect our own interests. This kind of behavior that undermines the interests of all mankind is really disgusting, but there is really nothing we can do... Sorry, please allow me to take a call."
The middle-aged man gestured to me and picked up the phone.
"Yes...are you serious?...Okay, I understand, I will do as I am told..."
Putting down the phone, the middle-aged man cleared his throat, stood upright and spoke.
"Miss, I've been waiting for a long time. My boss has just conveyed to me the investigation results of the theft. We are convinced that the information was stolen by an unknown organization called Qiluo Star Research Institute."
"..."
Is it that Qiluoxing again~ It seems that I have to find that ghost place~ But why do I always feel weird, as if I am jumping into a pit? Forget it, don’t care about it, just to save Yuli.
