It still made Qiao Bai's body have a qualitative leap.

The most intuitive thing is the appearance.

Radiant.

It's like a magic potion.

"Maybe you think I'm more handsome and that affects your perception." Qiao Bai said nonsense seriously.

Cheng Liang and Peng You, who came to greet Qiao Bai and happened to hear this conversation: "?"

Cheng Liang and Peng You: Terrified.jpg Did they hear something they shouldn't have heard? Are they going to be silenced? When Qiao Bai turned around, he saw two guys with their eyes wide open and their mouths wide open.

Qiao Bai coughed.

"Has the Thunder Fang Tiger's evolution verification report been completed?"

Find something to talk about.

Change the subject.

Qiao Bai’s main point is to pretend not to understand.

Zhou Xinran: “Haha.”

Fortunately, Zhou Xinran did not continue to ask, otherwise it would be difficult for Qiao Bai to explain.

"Women's eyes are so sharp." Qiao Bai sighed.

How about he try to stay up late during this period to make himself look a little haggard? This thought only flashed through Qiao Bai's mind, and Qiao Bai decisively gave up.

Let’s forget about this.

It took a lot of effort to get better.

Don't waste it.

At worst, you can just eat and sleep well during this period, and it will be easier to explain to the outside world.

He knows nothing about anything.

If you ask again, I will play dumb.

Seeing that the atmosphere between Qiao Bai and Zhou Xinran had returned to normal, Peng You and Cheng Liang looked at them with curiosity in their eyes.

no?

What happened? "Professor Qiao Bai, what happened to the loss of contact in Wanmu City?" Peng You approached Qiao Bai cautiously.

I couldn't help asking out of curiosity.

Qiao Bai: "Want to listen?"

"Yeah, yeah!" Peng You nodded frantically.

Cheng Liang, who was silent at the side, also cast curious glances from time to time.

Take a look.

Take another look.

Although I'm embarrassed to ask.

But it shouldn't be a big problem to listen to them together! Then...

"Guess what you think. I'll tell you when I get the answer." Qiao Bai smiled.

Peng You and Cheng Liang: "..."

OK.

Professor Qiao Bai was just teasing them.

Qiao Bai was indeed teasing the two people. Looking at the depressed expressions on their faces, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

Pain can be transferred.

Happiness can also be easily obtained.

But Qiao Bai didn't go too far.

Amuse the child.

Just enough.

Then Qiao Bai changed the topic and briefly told them what happened in Wanmu City.

"…That's about it. I don't know the details, and it's not very important."

"Just bring the person back."

Qiao Bai said very simply.

"Professor Qiao Bai, you are really..." Peng You hesitated and wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

never mind.

As expected, he is Professor Qiao Bai.

There's really no curiosity at all.

Qiao Bai smiled.

No matter how tortuous the story is, it's just like that.

Originally, Qiao Bai was a little curious and had other interests in Wanmu City.

But after seeing Jianmu and taking Jianmu away, Qiao Bai no longer had any feelings for Wanmu City.

Whatever.

Anyway, there is a high probability that he will never go to that place again.

Qiao Bai didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all and set a big flag.

The other side.

Three days later.

Qiao Bai received a call from Jiang Heng.

"No one comes to visit you for no reason. I always feel that there is nothing good when you call me." Qiao Bai said calmly.

I don't feel guilty at all about saying bad things in front of others.

Because of Qiao Bai and Wanmu City, Jiang Heng, who was working overtime, was exhausted: "..."

Qiao Bai delivered a critical hit.

"Shut up."

Jiang Heng gave Qiao Bai a feignedly ferocious look.

Ning Ruxue, who also joined the conference call, couldn't help but laugh softly when she saw this.

Jiang Heng: “…”

I'm very angry.

Take two deep breaths.

Jiang Heng tried hard to calm himself down.

"Let me tell you first, you haven't forgotten that the day after tomorrow is the day you will receive the award." Jiang Heng looked at Qiao Bai sharply.

Qiao Bai said calmly without feeling guilty at all.

"Yes."

Jiang Heng: “Heh.”

From her expression, she knew that Qiao Bai really didn't think about it.

"You are really good at lying." Jiang Heng said unhappily, "If you really haven't forgotten, why did you go to Wanmu City a few days ago?"

"Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to come back in ten days or half a month?"

Qiao Bai: "I believe in my ability, and I also believe in the ability of the authorities."

Jiang Heng sneered again.

Let’s speak in official language.

Whatever.

Anyway, as long as Qiao Bai doesn’t interfere with their business... well, even if he does, they won’t do anything to Qiao Bai.

Thinking of this, Jiang Heng couldn't help but feel a bigger headache.

Her workload grew little by little, inexplicably!

Sometimes Jiang Heng himself was helpless! "Anyway, you remember it now, the day after tomorrow! You can't forget it!"

"After all, you'll get a promotion! Please pay a little more attention to it!"

Qiao Bai nodded without much concern.

Professor of pets?

Okay, okay.

But he still prefers the title of Beastmaster.

Jiang Heng saw that Qiao Bai didn't care and knew that Qiao Bai would definitely do what he promised, so he felt relieved anyway.

Then he continued.

"We conducted a follow-up investigation on the subsequent situation in Wanmu City."

As Jiang Heng spoke, his voice gradually calmed down from being collapsed.

Qiao Bai: “?”

Qiao Bai noticed something strange: "Isn't it because of jealousy, or some other messed up reason?"

That one was called...what was it called?

Qiao Bai couldn't remember it anymore.

Anyway, it was that middle-aged man.

As soon as Qiao Bai took one look into his eyes, he knew that there was deep jealousy hidden in his heart.

To Darazaxi.

To Aza.

To other young people.

Under extreme jealousy and abnormal thinking, it is possible to do extreme things.

So at that time, Qiao Bai was too lazy to listen to his nonsense.

Just hold it in.

But looking at Jiang Heng's expression now, it seems that this matter is not that simple? "At the beginning, our thoughts were the same as yours." Jiang Heng said.

However, this matter involves many pet professors and experts.

Qiao Bai went there.

After thinking about it, they decided to conduct a serious and in-depth investigation.

"On the surface, this is what a middle-aged person who has achieved nothing, whose talent is not as good as that of a young person, and whose mentality is unbalanced does on impulse."

Jiang Heng quickly summarized the whole story in one sentence.

It was similar to what Qiao Bai thought.

"Including that guy named Rama, he thinks so too."

"But after our in-depth investigation, we found that things were not that simple."

Jiang Heng said.

Wanmu City is a rare city where all residents are related to each other.

Such complicated relationships as the second aunt's niece's sister's brother-in-law's daughter really exist in Wanmu City.

Because of the subtle blood connection.

The residents of Wanmu City actually get along quite well.

Be tolerant of each other.

Look after each other.

Even if there are some minor contradictions and conflicts, they can be resolved quickly and both sides can shake hands and make peace.

It is simply a world of universal harmony in our imagination.

Seniors will not be jealous of juniors.

They hope to see the younger generation flourish and become more capable than their predecessors.

That's exactly why.

That's why the old man didn't doubt his own people at the beginning.

Their own family would never do such a thing! Then.

Then there appeared a Rama who was particularly different in the Datong society.

"This is not right." After listening to Jiang Heng's words, Qiao Bai quickly realized the problem.

Although jealousy can make people do completely unimaginable things.

But the impact of the overall environment is not something that can be easily explained.

In the atmosphere of Wanmu City.

Logically speaking.

Rama might be jealous, but that jealousy should not be expressed in such an exaggerated way.

Something is wrong.

Something is very wrong.

"It's normal for you to feel something is wrong." Jiang Heng said, "Because there are people here who are maliciously guiding Lama."

Jiang Heng paused after speaking.

“It’s not just Lama, either.”

"There are also some other relatively ordinary residents of Wanmu City who have also been contacted and led in."

"Among them, Rama was the one most deeply influenced by the guidance."

"But we suspect there may be other means involved."

Qiao Bai: "Hypnosis? Brainwashing?"

"It's not that exaggerated. If he has been hypnotized and brainwashed, it's impossible for the people around him not to notice the problem."

Ning Ruxue interjected.

The hypnosis and brainwashing skills of extraordinary creatures are all time-limited.

It's impossible to maintain it forever.

“It tends to guide and amplify negative emotions.”

Jiang Heng nodded.

"That's right."

Qiao Bai was thoughtful and asked the most important question: "Have you found out who did this?"

It is generally difficult to find.

but……

"Although there is no direct evidence, we can identify the organization behind this."

Listening to Jiang Heng's words, Qiao Bai showed a curious expression on his face.

There is no evidence.

But it can be locked? No?

What kind of organization is this? What kind of villain is this? "Imperial Spire."

“A notorious troublemaker.”

Jiang Heng said with a smile.

"We also suspect that the Empire Spire was involved in the previous fun between Celia and the Fire Sakura Nation."

"And if that's the case, it would explain the origins of the two papers and the content report."

The imperial spire that has dug into the corners of various countries.

If you want to find two awesome professors, it is difficult to figure out their favorability based on just a few bits of information in a short period of time.

But it is still easy to write a semi-finished paper.

…

"The Imperial Spire..."

When Qiao Bai learned about this organization for the first time, he couldn't help but have a strange expression on his face.

Ah... "I always feel that this organization is secretly planning something bad behind the scenes." Qiao Bai touched his chin.

After the phone conference between Jiang Heng and Ning Ruxue ended.

Qiao Bai searched for information about the Imperial Spire on the Internet.

The polarization is very serious.

Supported.

I believe that the Imperial Spire is a truly borderless academic organization.

It also provided a place for persecuted scholars to stay.

No squeezing.

Don't force.

Let them walk freely on the path of scientific research on pet animals.

Against.

The Empire Spire's poaching efforts are too ruthless.

Very cruel.

There is no country that has not been dug.

Including China.

Qiao Bai: “?”

"This Imperial Spire is really something." After reading all the true and false stories about the Imperial Spire on the Internet.

Qiao Bai crossed his fingertips and fell into deep thought.

Some things.

You can't just look at how others do it.

It depends on what they got behind the scenes.

For example, the incident in Wanmu City...

"The shape of the wreath does not affect its power. Does the Imperial Spire know this?" Qiao Bai murmured.

Darazaxi didn't know.

Is it possible that the Imperial Spire knew?

Qiao Bai wasn't sure.

He decided to ask the person involved directly.

Whoosh~ a small sapling jumped out.

Following closely behind are the little blackbird, the catworm, the little white snake and the little jellyfish.

"Qiao Bai!"

Jianmu·Lily·The sapling excitedly waved its branches towards Qiao Bai.

Even without a face, you can tell that little Jianmu is very happy.

"I have something to ask you." Qiao Bai simply told Xiao Shuimiao about the Imperial Spire.

"Think back, have you ever come into contact with any of them?"

Jianmu Lily: "Huh?"

The sapling's waist bent.

Under Qiao Bai's expectant gaze, Jianmu Lily said embarrassedly but confidently: "I don't remember!"

Qiao Bai: “…”

"You can't blame me for this!" Jianmu Lily tried to move her body.

it is a pity.

He is a tree.

It was a small sapling that had shrunk and its strength had been greatly reduced, making it difficult to even move its body.

Qiao Bai still couldn't bear it anymore, so he picked up Jianmu Lily and put her into the flowerpot that had been prepared long ago.

Jianmu Lily feels the abundant energy in the soil.

It happily shook the branches, swayed left and right, and finally took root completely in the flowerpot.

"I love it here! I'm going to live here!"

"I want to breathe fresh air and bathe in fresh sunshine!"

Qiao Bai: "Okay, but you are not allowed to move around during normal times."

Although after being discovered, Qiao Bai was able to explain the origin of the sapling.

But try to avoid any trouble you can.

"Okay." Jianmu Lily agreed immediately.

Qiao Bai looked at Jianmu Lily's happy expression and asked the Imperial Spire again.

"I really don't remember." Jianmu Lily said in a thin voice: "I spent most of my time sleeping."

Qiao Bai thought about it and changed the way he asked the question.

"The space you are in is not accessible to all humans, right?"

"Besides me, has any other human been inside?"

Jianmu Lily: "Um... yes, there are five of them besides you, but I don't even remember what they look like."

Qiao Bai was not surprised at this answer.

no way.

Time is the least valuable thing to Jianmu.

In that void where no one knows where, the passage of time is even more difficult to feel.

Jianmu spent most of his time sleeping.

During the few times when he was awake, he would encounter some humans who, by chance, entered that void.

There are both men and women.

To Jianmu, they looked very similar.

The scent they exude seems to be similar.

They are all human beings, ordinary people.

Jianmu didn't communicate with them too much and just sent the people out.

Qiao Bai is the only exception.
