How to Feed an Abyss! - Chapter 73

Shi Yuan got the work card of the scientific research center, which said [the first scientific research team – level 5 personnel]

Professor Guan said: “This is my group. You don’t need to contact other people. With a work card, you have permission to enter and exit the building. Your working hours are from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. You have lunch in the cafeteria and you get off work There is a shuttle bus at the entrance of the scientific research center, and the schedule will be changed when there are special circumstances.”

“Okay.” Shi Yuan said, “What should I do now?”

Professor Guan pushed his glasses: “Let me take a look at your… main body first.”

Shi Yuan entered the isolation room and released black mist.

The infection detector lasted for two minutes, then exploded and stopped working at all. Prof. Guan’s nose was sweating, holding the hard-won data, he said, “Stop, stop, stop! There are too many, too many!”

Shi Yuan:?

He had no idea how high his pollution value was. Under the instruction of Professor Guan, he turned into a black mist and moved, stayed, and changed back into a human form again.

All kinds of high-precision instruments that he doesn’t understand are running and recording data, densely packed in a large area.

From time to time, Professor Guan uttered “Fuck”, “Damn”, “Hey” and “Awesome”.

At noon, Shi Yuan went to the cafeteria of the scientific research center for dinner.

There were people in white coats everywhere, and he found a corner to stay and eat a very good potato risotto.

In the afternoon, he returned to the scientific research building and continued to change back and forth between the people and the black mist.

Finally, Professor Guan said, “You can go back.”

Shi Yuan asked: “You don’t need to take a film, do you need to detect brain waves?”

These are the procedures that hospitals use to check for infections.

“You have had several physical examinations before, and I have read all the reports.” Professor Guan sat down and looked at a bunch of detectors that exploded with distress, “There is nothing abnormal, and it is meaningless to test again. Wavelength data is fine. I can’t let you infect other creatures, can I? Otherwise the city will be gone.”

Shi Yuan asked again: “Then I’m off work?”

“Let’s go.” Professor Guan said, “I will hand over these things to trusted people to study together. These are enough for us to study for one night. No,” he rubbed his browbones, “I really have to figure it out, it will take several years It’s not enough, I hope, I hope this can help us understand what the abyss is. You come back tomorrow, and some data needs to be supplemented. Oh, and—you remember to look at the account, the salary is settled on a daily basis.”

Shi Yuan was a little surprised: “I still have a salary?”

Professor Guan explained: “You are a formal researcher and a member of the alliance establishment, so of course you will be paid.”

Shi Yuan: “Oh…”

Professor Guan patted him on the shoulder and smiled: “You are welcome to join our scientific research team.”

So at 3:30 in the afternoon, Shi Yuan left work earlier than ever before.

There was an extra 80 alliance coins in the account, so he went around to the market to buy some feed.

After returning home, he fed the wretched fish and the big white bird, played with his tail on the sofa for a while, and fell asleep with his head drooping while playing.

Halfway through his sleep, he rolled over and fell limply to the floor. He yawned, rubbed his devil horns, and was about to stand up but stopped—

When he fell, he took some books under the glass table with him. In the “Military History of the Alliance” that Lu Tinghan reads most often, a sketch floated out. Shi Yuan picked it up and opened his eyes wide.

He packed up the book and put the sketches back.

Today, Lu Tinghan couldn’t rush home, so they made a phone call before going to bed.

Lu Tinghan asked, “How was your day?”

Shi Yuan told him that Professor Guan made him change around.

Lu Tinghan asked again: “Are you not afraid?”

Shi Yuan: “Don’t be afraid, I quite like Professor Guan.”

“I’ll be back the day after tomorrow,” Lu Tinghan said, “I’ll be with you when I have time.”

“Okay, you have to come back early.” Shi Yuan’s tail swayed happily.

But Lu Tinghan hesitated to speak, and finally said: “Good night, Shiyuan.”

The next day, Shiyuan went to the scientific research center again.

Professor Guan asked him to do some supplementary experiments, such as contacting two drops of inhibitor solution with black mist, or spreading himself away at the fastest speed.

Shi Yuan complied one by one.

After collecting the data, Professor Guan said, “Shi Yuan, take a walk around the neighborhood, we’ll call you again if something happens.”

Shi Yuan: “So fast?”

It is not yet noon.

Professor Guan has dark circles under his eyes, and it seems that he has two white hairs. It can be seen that he stayed up late last night. He said: “Shi Yuan, you are too complicated… You don’t even know, you don’t have any rules at all. I guess we won’t be able to study it in ten years with just such a little data.”

“Okay.” Shi Yuan said. He glanced at the curves and values ​​on the screen, which were so dense that his scalp tingled. He studied for a few seconds and came to a conclusion: “It seems to be more complicated than Sudoku.”

Professor Guan: “…you are right to say that.”

Shi Yuan left Professor Guan who was scratching his head frantically, wandering around the research center, and made up an experiment in the afternoon, walking through different colors of light.

Professor Guan also asked him: “Shiyuan, what is the bottom of the abyss?”

—This is probably the thing that humans most want to know in the “Deep Dive” project.

“The bottom?” Shi Yuan was a little confused, “I don’t know either. Where I am, the bottom is a normal earth. I’m not sure what’s under the other abysses.”

Otherwise, there is no way to pile up garbage.

“What about the other abysses?” Professor Guan asked, “Do you have a way to contact and communicate with them?”

“No.” Shi Yuan replied, “They are a little different from me. We are completely unfamiliar, and they are not polite enough to talk to me.” He thought for a while, “So I guess they can’t be so sad that they deformed Well, at least not now.”

“…Understood, I have one last question.” Professor Guan wiped his presbyopic glasses and squinted at him. “Is there any way for you to go through the black mist and reach the bottom of other abysses?”

Shi Yuan: “It doesn’t work either. Before I came to the city, I met Abyss No. 2—I didn’t know it had a number at the time. I talked to it, but it ignored me. I turned into a mist and touched it, and was bounced back. “

“Yes, yes.” Professor Guan murmured, “Infections are mutually exclusive, I should have known.”

“Why do you ask about this?”

Professor Guan: “It’s nothing. I wanted to say that if you can take the instrument and go to the bottom of other abysses, things will be easier… It seems that my thinking is too simple.” He looked out the window, the sky was blue Ru Xi, “Today is a good day, let’s go out for a walk. I will be miserable. I have to stay with these data. I don’t know how many hairs are left.”

Shi Yuan went out to wander around again.

The wind is cool, the solar panels are shining brightly, and the windmills are spinning slowly.

It was a very good day, and he began to miss Lu Tinghan.

The next day, Lu Tinghan came back.

He did not break his promise, and accompanied Shi Yuan to the scientific research center in the morning, watching him conduct experiments.

Lu Tinghan asked Professor Guan: “Any results?”

“No.” Professor Guan sighed, “This is a protracted battle. How can it be so simple? In the past few days, more than a dozen detectors have been scrapped. Do you know what the only result is?”

“what?”

“My red bean pancakes are gone too.”

“It’s going to expire anyway,” General Lu said, “It doesn’t matter if you eat it.”

At three o’clock in the afternoon, Shi Yuan and Lu Tinghan left.

When Shi Yuan got into Lu Tinghan’s car, he found that the co-pilot had released a bunch of snow.

“Wow!” His eyes widened, “Where did you get that?!”

Since Gleaning City fell, even Lu Tinghan couldn’t find a few flowers.

“I saw it in the main city.” Lu Tinghan said, “I happened to see someone raising them on the balcony. I sent an adjutant to ask if it was for sale, and that person readily divided the bunch.” <
