Chapter 241 Neither Human nor Demon
The underground floor of Tianhai City Special Management Bureau also has its own ecological chain.
Considering that many staff members cannot go home for several days in a row, many corresponding entertainment facilities have been set up here.
Although the KTV, cinema, gym, game hall, billiard room, etc. are not as good as the big shopping malls in the city, they are small but have all the necessary facilities.
The most popular one is the Special Management Bureau canteen.
When it comes to the canteen, many people's first impression must be that the food is unpalatable, but the canteen of Tianhai City Special Management Bureau is different. It is managed by the logistics department, and the chefs are jointly served by aliens and humans.
Some alien species have unique tastes, and there are quite a few who like to eat raw food or offal. These are relatively easy to deal with.
There are also some outliers who are extremely picky about food, almost to the point of gourmets. Once the chef performs poorly, the logistics department will receive a bunch of complaint letters, some with the simplest firepower output, some with long speeches, and some even teach the chef how to cook.
At this moment, Lin Ze was entertaining guests in the cafeteria, and this guest was none other than Lingying, who had just rushed over from Li Muhan's home.
"Director Lin, you're so stingy! It's a rare opportunity for me to come to Tianhai City, and you only let me eat in the cafeteria?"
Lingying held her chin with her hand and said with a smile while looking at Lin Ze across the table.
"In Tianhai City, the cafeteria of the Special Management Bureau is the best reception venue."
Lin Ze had a smile on his face as he stirred the coffee in the cup while responding to Lingying's teasing.
"Oh~ Really? The cafeteria at our Special Management Bureau is not very good, so let me just look forward to it~"
At this moment, a quarrel was heard from the direction of the kitchen.
"What are you doing! Didn't I tell you to take the food out quickly? Why are you eating here again?"
Lingying turned her head slightly and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a cute girl with snow-white hair and cat ears being pushed out directly from the kitchen. She was holding a plate with delicious food on it.
The cat-eared girl listlessly brought the dishes to Lin Ze and Ling Ying's table, and then yawned.
"How is it, Bai Ran, are you used to it?"
Lin Ze looked at the girl and asked with a smile.
"...Yeah, I'm just very sleepy. I have to get up very early every day. And that damn fox is really annoying. I just ate a little secretly, why is he so fierce?"
"I know you two had conflicts in the past, but the six-tailed fox is now the cafeteria manager, which means she's your boss. You should stop arguing with her."
Lin Ze picked up the food on the plate with chopsticks.
"Come on, open your mouth, ah~"
"Meow~"
Bai Ran immediately bent down and opened her mouth towards Lin Ze, and Lin Ze put the food into her mouth.
"Oh, that's so cute."
Lingying raised her hand and rubbed Bai Ran's head.
"This must be the cat demon that Captain Li Muhan rescued earlier."
"Well, thank God, he didn't attack the new alien this time."
Lin Ze felt a headache when he thought of the monsters that Li Muhan had captured before. They kept saying they wanted to see Li Muhan every few days, especially the Nightmare, who seemed to have some obsession with Li Muhan.
"But now that she's already taken, it's not easy for you to be a leader."
Lin Ze couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head helplessly, and reached out to pat Bai Ran's head gently, indicating that she could leave first to deal with other matters.
After Bai Ran disappeared from his sight, Lin Ze refocused his gaze on Lingying. His expression became serious, and he asked in a low voice, "Have you dealt with everything?"
Lingying's lips curled up with a confident arc. She looked at Lin Ze, pondered for a moment, and then spoke slowly.
"You really are worried about me! Let me tell you, everything went smoothly according to your instructions. However... I find Li Muhan's situation a little strange. Although he wields the demonic power within his body, that power is closely connected to his life source and has become an indispensable part of his body. However, the Fu Jiang Zhenmo we recreated doesn't even have a trace of human aura. This is really a bit unreasonable."
Lin Ze seemed to understand what Lingying wanted to say.
Lin Ze seemed to understand the concern hidden behind Lingying's words, and there was a glimmer of understanding in her eyes.
But she herself couldn't give a clear answer. She just shrugged apologetically and replied softly, "Li Muhan is indeed a very special person. You don't have to worry too much about it."
Hearing Lin Ze's answer, Lingying frowned slightly, and her narrow eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a vigilant and curious look. It was obvious that she was not very satisfied with Lin Ze's answer.
Her tone was inquiring. "So, there are secrets here that even I, the Director of Engineering at the Special Management Bureau, can't touch?"
"Don't worry, when the time is right, you will know."
"Tsk tsk tsk~ Director Lin, you're becoming more and more like a human. You only speak half-heartedly and are not happy."
Lin Ze gently picked up the coffee and took a sip, and then his eyes became a little dim.
"I'll just... take it as a compliment."
......
At the same time, in the rest area on the second underground floor of the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau building, Wu Qin had quietly spent three long days.
Since the Tai Sui research leak, although Lin Ze has been mediating overnight and trying his best to suppress the surging public opinion that is eager to bring Wu Qin to trial, the Supervisory Commission has obviously not let the former chairman of the Science Council off easily in view of the great value and potential dangers of the research.
Therefore, following Lin Ze's advice, Wu Qin chose to remain silent. He waited here safely, waiting for the storm to subside.
In this empty and silent space, he could only rely on his own hands and wisdom to continue his research.
At this moment, Wu Qin was sitting quietly in front of an old desk, on which was piled a mountain of research data that he had written down with pen and paper over the past three days.
In this room without computers or advanced scientific research terminals, he seemed to have become a stubborn and lonely researcher. To outsiders, this almost crazy and persistent behavior undoubtedly made him more like a madman who was out of touch with reality.
However, it is precisely this kind of person who has created one brilliant achievement after another in the world of science and technology.
Pah...
Pah...
At this moment, a strange sound slowly came from the central air-conditioning outlet above my head.
But Wu Qin did not look up and continued to concentrate on his research.
Until the sticky mass of rotten meat slowly fell from the air vent to the floor at his feet.
"Why did you come back to me?"
Wu Qin did not look up, and his tone did not change at all. The piece of rotten meat slowly moved to his feet, making a gurgling sound.
