This was the fifteenth cigarette butt Richard had put out.

There were a dozen cigarette butts of varying lengths piled up around him, and the pungent smell lingered around him. He anxiously glanced at the time, and soon after, he took out another sixteen cigarettes, but this time before he could light them, the person he was waiting for arrived.

He Yuan has changed his outfit. Except for the brown hair that he dyed with dye, which cannot be changed back for the time being, all other disguises have been removed. However, because he is not wearing glasses, he does not look as gentle as before.

The young man stopped when he was ten steps away from him, frowned and pointed to the no-smoking sign above.

Richard followed his gaze, swore, and spit out the cigarette in his mouth. He anxiously pulled at his already loose tie and explained in a low voice, "I didn't smoke in the research department."

"In fact," He Yuan took a few steps back, further away from the mobile pollution source, and his pronunciation was very clear, "...the entire La Perri is a research institute."

Richard really cursed out loud this time.

He took several deep breaths before squeezing out a sentence from between his teeth, "Okay, you have the final say."

As he spoke, he stuffed the cigarette in his hand into the pocket of his uniform pants. He Yuan frowned again at his sloppy behavior.

Richard originally planned to formally meet the young master today. He did not rely on his ability to sneak in as he did before, but went through the application process and even put on his formal uniform for a rare occasion.

However, his appearance at the moment was worse than that of wearing nothing. His bow tie was half-untied, the buttons of his shirt were loose, and the hem of his shirt was half loose from his tight belt, which was pulled out when he unconsciously reached into his pocket just now.

It is rare to be able to destroy a straight uniform into such a wrinkled state in just a few dozen minutes. This is also fortunately because he is the boss here in La Poli. If it were somewhere else, he would have been singled out as an example.

But Richard obviously didn't care about his image. He scratched his hair, which had grown a lot longer in recent days, in annoyance, as if thinking about how to start the conversation.

Is it confirmation, or...

It’s like that, why bother confirming anything?

Richard had seen too many tragic and desperate situations. Tragedy does not lose its heaviness just because you see it too often, especially when it happens to people you care about.

However, enough experience did make him mentally prepared to accept the current situation.

His anxious expression finally turned into dejection, and he leaned back against the wall as if he had lost his strength.

He asked, "Didn't you ask him to get a checkup or something?"

He Yuan glanced at him, but this time he didn't hide back.

He lowered his eyes slightly and spoke calmly.

"From the year 3823 to the present, in the 462 years of medical records of the Alliance, there have been 3593 cases of acquired mental power damage, of which 1284 were experimental accidents, 583 were... 1 was caused by the explosion of an unqualified mental connector..."

He Yuan's voice had a special sense of stability, as if he was born to read out these numbers. Then this cold voice was like a sharp scalpel, dissecting the reality bloodily for him to see -

“…So far, no case has been cured.”

Richard let out a "fuck" and almost got so angry that he grabbed the man by the collar and said, "That's all the bullshit you say to me," but luckily he held back.

He clenched his fist and hammered the wall hard, gritting his teeth and saying, "Just because it didn't happen before doesn't mean it won't happen in the future!"

Because of the previous experiences of being choked, Richard had already determined that he and Director He in front of him were incompatible. After blurting out this sentence, he immediately took a deep breath to avoid being so angry that his brain blood vessels exploded due to the content of the other party's retort.

But unexpectedly——

"Medical technology is constantly advancing... In general, I agree with you."

The young man answered calmly.

“Even if…” you said.

Richard was about to say something when he realized that he was actually being agreed with. He felt a little uncomfortable at the suddenness.

Although he was stunned, he acted quickly after he realized what was happening.

"Then I'll contact Tate."

As he spoke, he immediately took out his communicator and wanted to contact the other person's brother.

Although Richard and He Yuan are not ordinary people, the medical resources Adrian can get are definitely more than the two of them combined.

But when Richard turned on the communicator, he found it was locked.

He was stunned for half a second before realizing it - it was that rubbish confidentiality agreement.

Richard yelled "Fuck!" and looked up at He Yuan who was doing something. He couldn't help but swear, "What the hell do you want to do?"

He Yuan's expression remained unchanged, "I said, he doesn't want to go back."

After Richard realized that Luther had a problem with his mental strength, he guessed why the young master didn't want to go back.

Not everyone can bear the loss of their proud talent. Sometimes even "concern" and "compassion" can become weapons that hurt people, especially for someone with a high self-esteem like Master Luther.

But with his talent, if he is really cured, he can still be the proud young man who raises his chin and says "I will be the best pharmacist in the league."

And even if it doesn’t work…

With the determination and courage that the child showed in the critical moment, even if he did anything else, it would definitely be enough to achieve success.

Richard was anxious: "This is not the time to lose your temper! The sooner this kind of thing is treated, the better!!"

"Tantrum?"

He Yuan's voice was cold, and his phoenix eyes, which were particularly sharp without the obstruction of lenses, were fixed on Richard.

Richard looked away with some discomfort.

He knew that these three words he blurted out seemed too disrespectful for the other person's experience, but...

"In any case, he needs treatment as soon as possible,"

He paused for a moment, then said with difficulty, "Whether it's physical or psychological..."

He Yuan suddenly interrupted, "He's not that fragile."

He looked at Richard, and the corners of his straight lips suddenly lifted up a little bit, "Just wait and see, La Perri is the most suitable place for him."

He was once worried and afraid, and even dared not show up in front of the other party.

But... that man was so determined and strong that all his speculations seemed ridiculous.

That's a "genius".

Not just in terms of mental strength.

Just watch...

That person will go back.

With the same pride as always.

Two years later.

Diliyaxing, the Lola Awards ceremony.

Although the Rolla Award is the highest award for scientific and technological progress in the alliance and a sacred place in the hearts of every researcher, due to its popularity, ordinary people can only exclaim "Oh wow" to express their amazement, and the actual attention is not high.

Its official live broadcast has always been miserable and deserted.

But the situation was a little better this time because when the previous list of nominees was announced in advance, a nominee for the Pharmacy Award became famous with his face and caused a sensation on Star Network.

How many people paid a lot of money to get the information of this handsome and talented guy. But this researcher named "Wei Lu" has very little information on the Star Network, no birthplace, no previous study experience, and even no Star Blog that almost everyone on the Star Network has.

The fans who had burst out with great fighting power in order to please his face only found out that the other party was a researcher belonging to "Source" and became the person in charge of the La Perri project a year ago.

Another "truth king" pointed out that he looked very similar to Master Luther played by Lloyd. But this statement did not arouse much response.

The growth period is inherently unreasonable. After a few years, the originally delicate and soft lines on the boy's face have become more mature. Although not to the extent of cold and hard, it is definitely not as soft as before. The long hair that grew long on the abandoned planet and was hardly trimmed later is tied low behind the head, adding a bit of gentleness of a researcher and softening the increasingly sharp facial features.

Moreover, over the years, because of the huge popularity of the movie "Courage", there have been a lot of imitations of Master Luther's makeup, and some have even managed to make it so realistic that this researcher named "Wei Lu" is not even in the top ten.

…

In short, for various reasons, the live broadcast of this year's Lola Awards can be said to be the most watched one in history.

…

…………

It is an inexplicable shock to intuitively feel the process of humans cautiously exploring the boundaries of cognition.

In the lengthy introduction, the host tried his best to present the latest and most influential results in a way that ordinary people who are not experts in this field can understand. Although some parts were inevitably obscure, there were always enthusiastic people in the live broadcast comments to help explain.

Wen Weiwei was originally like many other girls who were attracted by the handsome boy. She came in just for the sake of admiring his looks. However, after reading the introduction, she felt inexplicably moved. She glanced at the physics figure who was squeezed into the corner by the poster, and she had the rare urge to touch that breast.

...definitely next time.

She thought quietly in her heart, and finally turned her gaze back to the live projection screen.

However, the well-known big shots who came on stage made her mouth open into an O shape little by little.

What's up Fat Four?!

Wen Weiwei knew that this young man was outstanding, but it was not until this moment that she intuitively realized how outstanding he was.

Look at these big names who received awards on the same stage with him.

Even though Wen Weiwei was not usually interested in the alliance's cutting-edge technology, she knew how well-known those names were.

…

Seeing a very familiar and amiable old man whose face was even printed on the cover of a textbook striding forward to give a speech, Wen Weiwei opened her eyes wide in astonishment: Is Mr. Bian Xueliang still alive? !

Because the other party's name appeared too frequently in textbooks, and even several planets were named after him, Wen Weiwei had long since conceded that this gentleman had become a historical figure like those black and white portraits in textbooks.

In her heart, she silently apologized to the old gentleman who looked still energetic, and then she belatedly remembered the great achievement she had made in scribbling on his portrait.

Wow——

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please be magnanimous and don't care about such a small matter.
