Luther did not bring Mai with him this time. Mai only knew that Luther had to go back to deal with some trivial matters and would be back soon.
Luther and Oleander set off at dawn, and returned to Shuangye Town just before noon. Kalunai and Sirona were already waiting at the roadside platform.
"Let me introduce you, this is Adu, the champion of the Kanto region."
Only then did Luther notice the red-haired hunk next to him. After shaking hands with each other, Luther realized that this time the lineup was unprecedentedly powerful.
In fact, this is what Oleander requested. She does not want to use people from Interpol to cooperate. The credibility of the champion is far beyond what can be compared within Interpol today.
"The elves from Dr. Yamanashi's Research Institute have also spread out nearby, and our elves are responsible for guiding them to build an encirclement."
No one thinks that such a large formation is wrong. They have already had several confrontations with the organization that researched the amplification device. Oleander, who suffered the most, almost lost his life. Now we finally have a clue. No matter what the final result is, just for this
Maybe, it's worth doing.
"Luther, you know your mission."
Kalunai looked at Luther.
"I sent a text message to Dean Qi Lan last night before going to bed. During my trip, I stopped by my old residence in Yangxin City and found a document left by my parents in the secret room. Because the content was very strange, I wanted to take it.
Come back and show him."
Everyone looked at Luther in surprise. The original plan was for Luther to say that he had some feelings when he returned to his parents' house, and to come back and ask Qilan about his parents' past to open up a gap, but Luther didn't seem to like it.
This statement changed the script.
"Let him do what he wants. He is the protagonist of this matter. I trust Luther's judgment anyway."
Kalunai's words can be regarded as approval of Luther's approach.
"Pay attention to safety. What you have to face may no longer be the strange blue you are familiar with."
Sirona warned.
Oleander gave Luther a ring tied with a transparent silk thread. Luther put it on his hand blankly with her help. There was a small mechanism on the other end of the silk thread, which was directly connected to the button of the elf ball.
The voice recorder was also stuffed into Luther's coat pocket with an oleander.
"The same model that Burning Rock used when he attacked you happens to be something I can do. You saw the triggering method at Burning Rock, so I won't go into details. Let me remind you, if it really doesn't work, it's important to save your life. It doesn't matter if you kill him."
"Oleander, don't instill your ideas into Luther, he is different from you! Also, if we kill him, how can we continue to discover the amplifying device incident?"
Kalunai's cold warning made Oleander shrug: "I'm reminding your boyfriend, why are you yelling at me? Clues or something, he has lived here for more than 20 years, doesn't he agree with his own?
Organizational contact? If you need clues, this sanatorium is the biggest clue. As long as you keep digging deeper, you won’t be afraid of not finding it.”
Too lazy to pay attention to Kalunai and Oleander, Adu gave Luther an elf ball and asked him to tie the thread and machine to the elf ball.
"I heard about your abilities on the road, but your elf may not have faced such a scene. My elf has more experience."
Luther held the elf ball containing the dragon and couldn't help but say thank you.
This is one of A'du's housekeeping elves. Depending on A'du's bond with Kuailong, this one can even be removed.
The trainer's ace elf cannot be borrowed easily.
Luther stepped closer to the nursing home where he had been away for more than two months, but the familiar scene in front of him gave him an indescribable sense of strangeness.
Memories rolled through his mind. He could remember playing under the tree when he didn't have the phobia, and couldn't help but hug the elves when he saw them.
You can see yourself feeding the sweet nectar to Nidorino and Nidoran who have turned into Nidoking and Nidoland, and you can also see the curious attention of the giant needle bees living in groups in a few trees not far away.
Hold yourself.
His former colleagues looked at him curiously as he left and returned, and their curiosity prompted them to come over and ask him what happened. Luther tried his best to keep a smile, answered a few perfunctory words, and went straight to Dean Qilan's office.
"Come in."
Luther opened the door as if opening a door to another world.
I didn't realize it when I first came to this world, but now I feel it is extremely obvious.
Qilan's office is full of an old, decayed and incongruous feeling, which is completely different from the exquisitely decorated nursing home.
Books collecting dust are crammed on the bookshelf. The clock that has an unknown problem has not been repaired by Qilan. The newspapers and magazines stacked in the corner have turned yellow.
Only then did Luther realize that the ivy outside the window of Qilan's office was about to squeeze into the window, but Qilan had no intention of taking care of it.
"I thought you would come back later." Qi Lan's smile was very warm, just like every time he saw it.
Luther sat down across the desk.
"You look like you're in a hurry in your message. Of course I can't delay."
Luther felt that he really had the talent for acting, and his tone and speaking speed were the same as before.
Qi Lan still wore that familiar smile, and Luther finally understood that he only had such a smile, just like the professional fake smiles he had seen before.
Luther took the document bag out of his backpack. Qi Lan's slightly narrowed eyes showed a strange light. Luther saw the fleeting ecstasy on his face from the corner of his eye, and calmly moved Kaluna
Put the papers for yourself on your knees.
"I saw a lot of traces of my parents' past life in my old home in Yangxin City. I was still young when they left... I seem to have never heard you talk about them. You should be both teachers and friends, right? Can you talk to me?
Talk about them?"
"It's rare that you have such leisure. I really don't know what you saw in your old home." Qi Lan said, "What do you want to know about your parents?"
"When I was a student, I traveled for so long. I found that although the traveling school has encounters and adventures, it doesn't have the accumulation and foundation of the academic school. My parents...their stories in school are exciting, right?"
The smile on Qi Lan's face finally changed to something else, and the wrinkles on his old face were squeezed together. He laughed, and after a while he answered while wiping his tears.
"Contrary to what you might think, they lead a very boring life."
"They met each other and fell in love in college, but the way they dated was just to find a laboratory to verify their opinions and ideas. From the time they fell in love until they got married, they didn't seriously choose a gift for each other. Even the wedding
It's so sloppy, because they got married first because they had you first."
"The family members on both sides passed away early, so the wedding was only attended by a few senior students of the same grade, friends from the same department, the instructor Ralphie, and me."
"The first gift your father gave your mother was an ice and snow dragon. Guess where that ice and snow dragon came from?"
Luther shook his head.
"That was specially given to Professor Ralphie after Carlos's friend performed the fossil resurrection. He then gave it to your mother as a gift. Now you understand, your parents are actually far apart in the academy.
There is no such thing as a wonderful life.”
Luther smiled. Isn't this enough?
Maybe in Qi Lan's eyes, the standard of happiness is as misty as clouds.
"What are they studying in the academy?"
"Elf evolution and mutation are not considered unpopular subjects. Dr. Yamanashi also studied evolution when he was studying. Your parents are very talented. Professor Ralphie said that sooner or later they can become the leaders of the research school at Rainbow University. As a Latin American, I
Professor Erfi’s assistant also agreed very much.”
"You can't imagine their wild ideas and bold speculations. The paper they wrote was so amazing that Professor Ralphie destroyed the paper to protect them."
Qi Lan's eyes were fixed on Luther, who raised the document on his knee.
"Are you talking about this document? The Elf Evolution Controllability Device Experiment Report."
Qi Lan was stunned when he heard the name, and the smile on his face was gradually taken over by a visible desire.
"I have never heard of this name, and I am certain that it is not the content of your parents' thesis. Your parents' first paper was to discover the possibility of interfering with the evolution of elves and the feasibility of manufacturing elf ability amplification devices."
"Then what I have in my hand..."
"There is no doubt that it is a masterpiece left by your parents when they traveled around the world after graduation!"
Luther put the document on the table and handed it to Qi Lan.
When Qi Lan reached out to take it, he found that Luther was pressing tightly on the document and did not let go.
"I want to ask the dean a question, what do you think of my parents...?"
Qi Lan froze, looked at Luther deeply for a long time, and asked, "Have you ever seen a genius?"
"Does Sirona count?"
"Do you know what Sirona is called by some trainers?"
Luther shook his head slowly.
"Dream crusher." Qi Lan sneered, "Under her rule, no one can surpass her. Countless people comfort themselves that they can surpass her as long as they work hard. In the end, they have put in a hundred times or a thousand times of effort and boarded the
That stage was easily crushed by Sirona in an instant."
"In the eyes of outsiders, she is an unrivaled myth, an enviable benchmark. The glory, flowers, and applause all belong to her. As for the people under her shadow...who will notice them?"
"Your parents have been favored by Ralphie, who studies evolutionary propositions, since the day they entered Rainbow University. All the cheers, encouragement, and honors belong to them. If it weren't for that sharp paper... they would be members of the evolutionary school of Rainbow University.
The best."
Luther let go, Qi Lan took the document and opened it carefully.
When he placed a whole stack of files on the table, the look in his eyes when he looked at Luther was filled with shock and...coldness.
It's rare to see such an emotion on Qi Lan's face. At that moment when the fake smile peeled off, Luther finally saw Qi Lan's true side.
"Dean Qilan, this may be the last time I call you this." Luther leaned forward, his cold gaze piercing Qilan's eyes, "You are the real you now."
