Ye An transmigrated and became a mere passerby in an aristocratic academy. He thought that as long as he dutifully remained a student and graduated smoothly, he could go home, but he never expected...
Chapter 63 Bai Ke
Bai Ke didn't care after hearing the reply. He just smiled and changed the subject. "Okay, but for this academic exchange meeting, we're mainly discussing the newly invented pharmaceutical. Ye An, please listen carefully to the internal press conference later. After all, we're all betas and will most likely work in this field after graduation."
His hints were strong, trying to use gender to distance Lu Zhaoran from the issue. In the end, Ye An just smiled and did not respond.
Seeing his reaction, Bai Ke realized that he couldn't pry open the girl's corner, so he left with a message saying "see you later" and left without any further entanglement.
After Ye An and the others left, he looked at Lu Zhaoran, his eyes signaling him to quickly explain. He raised his eyebrows and asked Lu Zhaoran, "What's going on?"
Lu Zhaoran clenched his fists and said, "Stay away from Bai Ke. He's not a good person."
Ye An secretly complained in his heart. It had been less than a month since he came to this world, and he had already discovered that there were no good people here at all. They were simply worse than each other, and more cunning than each other. Lu Zhaoran's reminder was equivalent to nothing.
People like Bai Ke, the conversation just now was full of danger, not to mention that there was no trace of time left on this person. It was very strange, everything was very strange.
Ye An was daydreaming, and all he could think about was Bai Ke's danger level, which was currently sssss, far greater than those minor fights in school.
This man is really scary.
After the commotion, the main event finally began. Bai Ke took up his position at the previously deserted booth in the lobby, making it seem like his own personal press conference.
Bai Ke: "Long time no see, hello everyone, I'm Bai Ke."
"The main purpose of holding this academic exchange meeting today is to introduce our new experimental product, 'Tyasec'. This inhibitor has shown extremely powerful effects, primarily suppressing alpha susceptibility and delaying the onset of susceptibility."
"This is a significant step forward in our future ambition to control the susceptibility period of alpha."
"The drug is currently classified as a sex drug and is still in the clinical trial stage. The main extract is secretions of the American cockroach. Anyone here who is interested can contact us at Shengdi."
"The experiment is now at a breakthrough stage. We are short of people, and even more short of betas. In this deformed society where betas are ignored, Shengdi has always been the home of all betas."
This person seemed to be an expert at stirring up emotions. The more he spoke, the more passionate he became, and the atmosphere of everyone else in the venue was also lifted.
Everyone present applauded him unconsciously and was infected by his passion.
Ye An felt that the scene before him was as terrifying as a pyramid scheme, and unconsciously glanced at Lu Zhaoran beside him.
The man's brows were furrowed, and his whole body was unnaturally tense.
Ye An felt that something was not right with him and reached out to poke his shoulder.
Lu Zhaoran finally came back to his senses. He turned sideways and spoke to Ye An: "Don't believe it."
“People in Shengdi are not good people.”
Ye An was speechless. Lu Zhaoran just said a few words over and over again. Couldn't he see that Sheng Di was not a good person? Bai Ke looked like the leader of a pyramid scheme.
He asked helplessly: "I know, but is there any evidence, any solid evidence?"
Lu Zhaoran was silent for a while, then approached Ye An.
The difference in their body sizes was quite obvious, and the distance was a bit close. Ye An was about to step back, but Lu Zhaoran grabbed his shoulder.
They were so close together that Ye An seemed a little unnatural being trapped in the confinement. Even he himself didn't notice that his earlobe was slightly red.
This usually serious man lowered his head slightly as he spoke to him, his breath lingering around his ears.
Lu Zhaoran: "Ye An, Shengdi is the grave of beta."
“It’s really not a good place to be.”
"Li Ai has a partnership with Shengti. Many beta graduates who went to Shengti seemed to have found good jobs, but in the end, they were never able to contact them again. You have to be careful. Bai Ke seems to have been targeting you for a long time."
Ye An was deeply shocked. How could someone in this world forcefully snatch a Beta in broad daylight? He questioned, "Is it possible that you guys just don't bother talking to Beta, so they haven't contacted you since graduation? That's normal."
Lu Zhaoran seemed a little anxious and interrupted Ye An, "No, Li Ai's Beta classmate never acted like this before, until the collaboration with Shengdi a few years ago."
"And the class mentality in society has never been so serious before, until the emergence of Shengti."
He became increasingly anxious as he spoke, and finally revealed a shocking secret, "Even your recent jump from the building was most likely related to Sheng Di—"
Ye An was deeply shocked upon hearing this. He felt that all the previous mysteries had been solved, as if Sheng Di was the ultimate boss.
No wonder Bai Ke has so many search records on his home computer...
He began to sweat coldly, seriously wondering if he had been involved in some suspense drama. But at the same time, he felt excited, because this meant that his next year in this world would not be so boring, and there were many, many secrets worth exploring.
What exactly was this so-called Shengdi Hospital? Ever since the start of school, people all over the world had been touting it as a sacred place for beta graduates, implying that Shengdi was the ideal destination for all beta graduates. But now, Lu Zhaoran told him it was a demonic den.
Shengdi Shengdi, the homonym of holy land, is this the Shengdi that Beta has always dreamed of or the abyss where there is no place for burial?
Ye An didn't dare to think about it too much. He felt that there were too many things wrong with this world.
Before he could recover, Lu Zhaoran was called away by someone.
A man who looked to be around 40 years old took Lu Zhaoran and said they were going to see some new experimental products. Lu Zhaoran gave him a few instructions and followed him.
"Remember, stay away from Bai Ke. He is really not a good person."
"Don't run around. I'll come pick you up when I'm done."
After saying that, Lu Zhaoran left, leaving Ye An alone.
Ye An nodded and said "hmm", then turned and walked towards the dessert shelf. He was almost starving to death.
Lu Zhaoran is such a jerk. He made me wait at the school gate for so long and didn't even give me a single bite of food. I'm totally starving now.
Then he didn't notice that as he was walking on the way to find dessert, he was getting farther and farther away from the crowd, and finally he came to a balcony facing outwards with the cake in his hand.
He was just about to sigh at the beautiful scenery here when a familiar but annoying voice appeared behind him.
"Student Ye An, it's not appropriate to be alone in this kind of situation."
It’s Bai Ke.
