"Why are you back again?"
The deputy director's face clearly showed no joy, and there was even a hint of sleepiness lurking within it.
He raised the device in his hand that was flashing red light, indicating that Ji Yongxing's actions were under his control.
"Teacher, please come here quickly. I have made an important discovery."
Ji Yongxing pointed to the nutritional paste on the table, and the expression on his face cheered Zhou Zhuo up.
He knew this young man very well. After he forcibly closed the laboratory, his return was somewhat strange.
Zhou Zhuo walked over, and Ji Yongxing began to tell him the third-hand information that had been simplified by Fran and himself.
Although the source has been distorted, Zhou Zhuo is still worried about the possible terrible consequences.
He quickly walked to the microscope and leaned in, but soon shook his head regretfully:
"I'm old, and I can't see through such a thick paste. How did you find it?"
With suspicious eyes cast upon him, Ji Yongxing hesitated for two seconds and decided to reveal a little bit of his secrets.
"Teacher, I have something to tell you."
Zhou Zhuo stared at the boy who was much shorter than him and said calmly:
"Are you a superpower?"
"ah?"
Ji Yongxing's brain froze on the spot after being perfectly predicted by the other party. He never dreamed that the other party would actually ask this question.
"Uh, I'm not. No, I am."
After talking nonsense for a while, Ji Yongxing said seriously:
"Yes, teacher. I am a superpower."
A satisfied smile appeared on Zhou Zhuo's face:
"Did it start from that outing?"
Ji Yongxing was even more surprised. His original plan was to reveal the secret that he was a super-powered person in order to cover up more and bigger secrets.
You know, he didn't even tell his parents about becoming a super-powered person.
But Zhou Zhuo seemed to have a pair of eyes that were more powerful than his and he easily saw through his changes.
Ji Yongxing's heart suddenly started beating violently. Could it be that the teacher already knew everything?
How did he do it?
Is he also a superpower?
Forcibly suppressing his inner excitement, Ji Yongxing exaggeratedly wrote a shocked expression on his face:
“How do you know?
"Are you also a superpower? Did you discover my changes with your power?"
“Hahahahahaha.”
Seeing that his bluff had worked, Zhou Zhuo stretched out his fingers and tapped his temple twice with satisfaction and said:
"Kid, use your brain."
Zhou Zhuo pulled a chair over from the side and sat down and said:
"Let me ask you, what is the age range for humans to awaken their abilities?"
Ji Yongxing seemed to be back to the state of being asked questions in class, and answered seriously:
"A roughly normal distribution with a center of ten years old and a range of six to fourteen years old."
Zhou Zhuo nodded and shook his head:
“You’re right, but now there’s new data.
“The young man named Wang Xiao that you mentioned in your investigation report on the outer city was already 20 years old this year, but he awakened his abilities before he died of illness.
“This shows that our statistics in the past were not accurate enough.
“And you, kid, you were in a visibly bad mood before the investigation, but you became much more confident after you came back.
“I firmly believe that an inspiring heroic story and a psychiatrist who has been certified for less than a year will not lead to such a significant change.
"Combined with Wang Xiao's age when he awakened, I have a bold guess."
Ji Yongxing responded to Zhou Zhuo, nodding from time to time and sometimes falling into deep thought.
When he heard that "a psychiatrist is not enough to make him have such a change", his heart finally settled down.
Zhou Zhuo was still immersed in his own reasoning.
“I think that the awakening of abilities is related to physical and mental health in addition to genes and age.
"When the body is seriously ill, or when the inner state is experiencing drastic fluctuations, it is possible to induce the awakening of abilities.
"Of course, this is just my guess."
When Zhou Zhuo said this, he seemed very satisfied with his logical reasoning.
And Ji Yongxing finally put his mind at ease.
His teacher only used limited information to deduce a result that seemed to explain everything, but did not really touch upon his most core secret.
But this is also amazing.
Ji Yongxing nodded sincerely and said:
“You guessed it right. My abilities did awaken during that period. I don’t know how to explain the specific process, but I just fell into a deep sleep when I was feeling a little desperate, and entered a very relaxed state.
"When I woke up the next day, I found that I could see many things that I couldn't normally see."
"I see."
Zhou Zhuo looked at the paste under the microscope:
"In other words, you saw substances in this part of the nutrient paste that were similar to the mycelium you found during the day?"
Ji Yongxing nodded. Since Zhou Zhuo couldn't find those things, he would have to do the separation work himself.
Now, the former teacher has become an assistant, and the former student has become the main force in the research.
With Zhou Zhuo's help, Ji Yongxing quickly extracted the broken but still alive mycelium from the nutrient paste.
The two men applied the ten tortures they had used during the day to this half of the mycelium and found that, apart from being more fragile, this half of the mycelium was exactly the same as the mycelium extracted from the bird-shaped beast.
The first idea has been confirmed, and both of them looked solemn.
If these hyphae really managed to survive because of the super-powered "Holy Shield", then what terrible consequences have the recent waves of beasts brought?
Zhou Zhuo suddenly stood up from his chair and began to debug the communication equipment he carried with him.
As the deputy director of the institute, the power he can mobilize in the inner city is enormous.
The other end of the communicator was quickly connected, and a vibrant male voice came:
"Mr. Zhou Zhuo, how can I help you?"
"Contact the hospital and ask them to send the superpower 'Holy Shield' to the laboratory of the Life Technology Department of the Institute as quickly as possible.
"It's urgent. We must hurry."
The person on the other end of the communicator was obviously stunned for a moment, but after hearing Zhou Zhuo's serious tone, he quickly agreed.
Zhou Zhuo hung up the phone. The person just now would solve everything for him and he just needed to wait here.
On the other side, a weak man was awakened from his sleep.
His body looked very strong, obviously he had many years of fitness habits, but at this moment he seemed like a powerless body, collapsed on the bed.
"What's up?"
He subconsciously prepared to use his arm to block the light that suddenly came on in the room, but the needle embedded in his arm obviously pulled his arm, making him alert instantly.
