"Wang Zheng, do you know why I, even though I'm over 90, have chosen to return to work after retiring several times?"
This world is truly amazing.
Since the emergence of spiritual energy, countless novel things have been discovered, and all kinds of plants and animals have evolved wildly.
In just a few decades, they have completed a long evolutionary path, which fascinates me.
At first, I was just an ordinary biologist, and studying alien beasts was my greatest interest in life.
Later, the nation discovered the existence of the Heavenly Demons, a new species that could threaten all of humanity. When the nation summoned me, I resolutely joined in.
Researching demons doesn't align with my interests, but my patriotism outweighed my personal interests.
This research, undertaken for the great rejuvenation of humanity, is no less valuable than fighting on the front lines.
Looking at the old man who had dedicated his life to the country, Wang Zheng felt a pang of guilt, and even Chu Tianxing was moved.
Seeing that Wang Zheng was softening, Gu Min continued to persuade him: "I know you are young and passionate, only thinking about sacrificing your life for the country and guarding the frontier, but you need to know why I chose you out of all people."
This is our first meeting. Why don't I choose students who specialize in studying and researching alien beasts?
Students and researchers with relevant majors?
Because you have unique advantages, you have fought against the separated demons, and you know that only elemental awakeners can harm him, but what is the elemental system?
Elemental systems represent a high consumption of spiritual energy and astonishing destructive power!
Fire, water, wind, ice, and lightning—none of them have the ability to dispel the demonic energy from the human body, but your Holy Light spell can!
This is the first and only case to date where a demon has been eliminated from a human body. Now you know how special you are?
Although Gu Min's words made a lot of sense, Wang Zheng really didn't want to join the army, especially as a research soldier in logistics. Not only would he lose his freedom, but he also wouldn't be able to come into contact with alien beasts, which would truly waste his talent.
"Professor Gu, I admit you're right, but I'm still too young and don't know much. I've only been a freshman for a month, and I'm having trouble accepting your decision to send me to the army all at once."
If you need my assistance with research in the future, I'll be available whenever you call, okay?
The principal is here today, and he can make a promise to you.
Anyway, all you need is for me to coordinate the use of Holy Light. My own abilities are far from sufficient right now, but I will definitely do my best to cooperate with you when the time comes.
After saying that, he quickly gave Chu Tianxing a meaningful look.
Chu Tianxing had naturally received Wang Zheng's hint. Although he admitted that Gu Min's words made a lot of sense, he believed that one should cultivate oneself, manage one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world.
His home is Nanjing University, and he was counting on Wang Zheng to take over his job and revitalize the university. How could he let someone seduce him with just a few words? Besides, didn't you see that Wang Zheng himself wasn't happy about it?
Chu Tianxing sighed: "Old Gu, we've known each other for so many years, so I know your character. This child is only 16 years old, and he's still a long way from graduating. His knowledge is also seriously lacking. Even if you let him study and research with you, he won't be able to keep up."
As the president of Nanjing University, I assure you that if your research requires his assistance, he will be released unconditionally as long as he remains at the university.
On the one hand, he can continue his studies at university; on the other hand, you can give him extra lessons. After he graduates, whether he wants to continue his studies or go to the battlefield is up to him to decide.
Gu Min sighed. He knew in his heart that he had indeed been a bit too hasty.
He turned and patted Wang Zheng on the shoulder: "Kid, don't put too much pressure on yourself. I was just being too anxious. I'm just giving you a suggestion. If you change your mind, you can let me know anytime."
Seeing that Gu Min finally relented, Wang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't afraid of others pressuring him with the issue of national righteousness, but facing a living, breathing old man who had indeed dedicated his life to the country, he couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh.
While the three remained silent, Dang Liantao had already explained the whole story to Qian Ruibo and received a report from his subordinates, so he walked in directly.
He said to Gu Min, "Old Gu, we have already checked the entire resort and did not detect any Heavenly Demon aura. However, we have no way to identify the tourists and staff here, so we don't know if there are any Heavenly Demons lurking among them."
Hearing Dang Liantao's words, Gu Min also frowned.
Identifying whether there are lurking demons is never an easy task. To date, the country has not developed an accurate detection method. If it is an awakened being, it is better, as there will be some abnormalities when using their abilities.
However, if the possessed person is just an ordinary person, then it's like looking for a needle in a haystack; you can only rely on the other person's movements to find clues.
They rely on experienced special staff to detect any omissions of the aura of the Heavenly Demon.
However, if the Heavenly Demon doesn't use its abilities or reveal its aura at all, they won't be able to find any clues.
Seeing everyone deep in thought, Wang Zheng timidly raised his hand and said, "I think I can."
