Looking at Vincent who looked calm, Lin Cheng couldn't help but shook his head, "But the final result is that since the end of the world, you have completely lost contact with your teacher. Not only do you have no idea what they are doing in Japan,
development status, and we don’t even know whether they are still alive.”
"They must still be alive!"
As if he was a little dissatisfied with Lin Cheng's last sentence, Vincent frowned immediately and said with certainty: "Even a person like me who was only injected with the diluted 's' gene survived. Teacher and the others, as
For those with super abilities who have been injected with pure 's' genes, there is no existence in this world that can threaten their lives!"
"Innocent……"
Looking at Vincent with a determined look on his face, Lin Cheng felt a little funny, "I'm afraid you've been staying in this damn place for too long, and you don't even know what's going on outside? If you don't say anything else, just say me.
On the way here, I encountered at least ten life-threatening dangers! I admit that from what you just described, your teachers and colleagues in the institute are indeed very strong, even stronger than me, but
On this blue star that has completely fallen into the apocalypse, all of us are just stronger ants!"
Hearing this, Vincent shook his head and did not intend to discuss this matter with Lin Cheng again, "Anyway, I have never doubted the teacher's judgment, and the appearance of your group has indeed confirmed the teacher's judgment.
Speculation…”
"so what?"
With a sneer, Lin Cheng looked at Vincent sitting across from him and asked with a playful face: "You have indeed entered this underground city that no one can enter, but what can you do?
In this desolate ghost place, no matter how many shocking secrets you know, how can you pass these secrets on?"
Although he had heard the meaning of Lin Cheng's words, Vincent clearly had no intention of hiding anything at this time. He spread his hands and said: "Since you can come here, it means that I can also walk out from here.
"
"Ah……"
Lin Cheng shook his head speechlessly. Lin Cheng really didn't know what to say. What made him come here was not just his outstanding strength. The help of the capsule system was the most important thing. If there were no support provided by the capsule system,
Those magical props, even if he has great abilities, there is no way he can pass through the extremely harsh natural barrier outside to reach this human restricted area.
But he didn't plan to tell Vincent too much, because even if he spared his life and let him leave, when he got to the ice and snow outside, he would find that it was a fool's errand to leave here on his own!
"Let's not talk about how to get out of here for now, let's continue talking about what we just said."
No longer intending to persuade the other party, Lin Cheng thought for a while and said: "You said that your teacher and colleagues from the institute had left here a year before the end of the world, right? Then before the end of the world, did your teacher follow
Can you tell me something about that underground city in Japan?"
"No."
Shaking his head, Vincent said: "As I said just now, since the teacher and the others left the Tiankeng for Japan, we have not talked about anything else except necessary regular contact and reporting on the situation here.
This is also the teacher's character all along. Once a new job is started, except for the employees involved in the job, no one else, even his relatives, can inquire about any news about the job."
"Tsk..."
Hearing this, Lin Cheng couldn't help but smacked his lips. He originally wanted to find out the specific reasons for the coming of the apocalypse from the other party's answer, but looking at the current situation, Vincent seemed to have no idea about this matter.
Do you know?
But he still wanted to give it a try, so he asked: "So... do you have your own opinions and thoughts about this sudden apocalypse?"
"ah?"
Hearing Lin Cheng's inquiry, Vincent felt that he couldn't keep up with the other person's thinking. He thought for a while before replying: "This..."
"kindness?"
Realizing that something was not right about Vincent's reaction, Lin Cheng was moved and quickly asked: "Why, is this question difficult to answer? Or...do you really know something?!"
"No no no..."
Sensing that Lin Cheng's tone suddenly turned serious at the end, Vincent was startled for a moment, then quickly waved his hands and said: "I have spent almost all of the past three years in the underground research institute. The apocalypse has come so hard."
How could something terrible be related to me! But..."
At this point, Vincent seemed to be hesitant, but finally gritted his teeth and said: "Let's talk first, what follows are all my personal guesses, just listen to it, don't take it seriously!"
Seeing Vincent who was ready to risk his life, Lin Cheng suddenly felt happy, and he nodded quickly and assured: "Don't worry, no other person besides you, me and Bai Ling will know about the conversation that happened here today.
"
"I trust you."
Although it was just a verbal agreement, Vincent felt that the other party would never lie to him for some reason, so he no longer hesitated and said: "Before, we were asking questions and answering questions, but although the things I just answered you are
It sounds like a lot of information, but if you recall it carefully, you will find that it is at most the history of Mr. Christopher’s fortune..."
"kindness……"
After listening to Vincent's words, Lin Cheng thought for a moment and understood what he meant, so he nodded without speaking, but used his eyes to signal him to continue.
After receiving Lin Cheng's signal, Vincent carefully sorted out the language and continued: "Regarding the research and origin of the 's' gene, I have done a special data integration, and these data are also classified as first-level within our research institute.
Confidential materials, I can do these integrations only because of Teacher Christopher’s approval. This is why I have always insisted that I have not been abandoned by the teacher. If I do not have enough weight in the teacher’s heart, these important information will be given to me.
There is no chance to look through it, let alone reintegrate it.”
"According to the information recorded in the materials I integrated, the 's' gene is a pineal gland liquid extracted from the corpse in the pyramid building in the underground city. I don't know the specific extraction process.
But this is the origin of this gene, and you should have guessed it from the conversation just now..."
"The emergence of the 's' gene can be said to have completely shattered the long-standing traditional concepts of Mr. Christopher and the employees of the institute. As a dungeon clan carrying this magical gene, it is even more mysterious and abnormal. This is why the teacher
The ultimate reason for not giving up exploring other dungeons even after becoming an esper is to imagine that an animal that has always relied on herbivorous food tastes the boundless deliciousness of meat for the first time. This is simply equivalent to
It opens a never-ending door to the plundering of new things!”
