Pepper came out of the elevator, calmed down for
a moment, and then walked towards the front desk. When he got closer, he didn't call anyone, but frowned, looking irritated: "Why are you here?"
Chen Jing turned around and looked up and down at her son whom she hadn't seen for a year, her face numb: "I came to see you."
Pepper ran away from home, and they hadn't come to see him for more than a year, but he came at this time.
The boy suppressed his resentment: "There's nothing to see."
Chen Jing was much calmer than when he was young, and was used to Pepper's attitude, leading him to the coffee shop next to him.
After sitting down, Chen Jing said: "Your father and I are getting a divorce."
Pepper looked wooden, his eyes fell on the milk foam in the teacup, and he didn't react.
Chen Jing frowned and looked at him for a while, then looked away and looked outside through the glass: "What cram school are you in now? Are you doing well?"
Huo Jiao sneered: "I have signed the experimental subject consent form. After two more cram schools, I will not go to the cram school again. I will be a guinea pig in the Super Power Research Institute until I am used up."
After saying this, Huo Jiao's face was pleased for a while, but then he felt confused.
Even if he ended his childhood cram school and became an experimental subject, has his life really changed for the better?
He seemed to have walked from one cage into another.
Chen Jing would not get used to him, and the look in her eyes was as indifferent as the boy opposite her.
She said she came to see him, as if she was really just taking a look.
There was no good talk between the two of them, especially in recent years. The woman got up and left without looking back.
Pepper watched her walk out of the cafe. When she walked outside, she looked confused and puzzled. She didn't understand why she came here.
And from what she said, it seemed that she knew the owner?
Why did Lu Yao contact Chen Jing?
Pepper thought of the tutoring content in the morning and suddenly understood.
The location and situation of the man's company would not be so realistic without an on-site investigation.
That was something that did not exist in his memory. If it were someone else, they might be perfunctory, but the owner would not.
Pepper suddenly realized that whether he was willing or not, he seemed to have begun to trust someone uncontrollably.
He raised his hand and scratched his chest. Often when trust is given, expectations will be unconsciously projected onto that person.
And in the future, there will always be disappointment.

Childhood Tutoring Center.
The two tutors have gradually adapted to time travel, and Lu Yao plans to assign them tutoring tasks. However, before that, the owner thinks that a large tutoring room is not very convenient, especially since the teachers will have to receive students separately in the future. Most tutors are not used to analyzing their predicaments for everyone to see, so he plans to upgrade the tutoring room.
Lu Yao drew a circle along the large cram school room, "I plan to separate six small offices on the left and right sides, which will be used as private offices for the teachers. The data room is connected to the lobby, but it needs to be separated by glass, and a data manager will be hired later. The cram school monitoring room will also be set up inside the data room, and another monitor will be hired at that time."
Bai Yi had thought that there should be a private office area for cram school teachers before, but he didn't expect the owner to have an idea so quickly, and couldn't help but say: " Our classroom doesn't look very big. Wouldn't it be too crowded to have six offices with a data room and a monitoring room?"
Xie Molin also said, "For the time being, there are only four tutors, including Xiaoxiao, so four offices will be enough. Even so, the renovation task is not easy, and I'm afraid it will be delayed for about a week."
Their opinions are very practical. The space in the cram school is really not big enough. The wall opposite the door will take up a lot of space to build a data room and a monitoring room.
Lu Yao shook his head: "It doesn't matter, I have experience, and there is definitely enough space. There is no need to hire a decoration company. I will decorate the shop myself. You don't have to worry about it. The renovation will be completed tomorrow."
Bai Yi and Xie Molin looked at each other and didn't say much.
The owner is a mystery, and her abilities are also a mystery.
But during the time she has been working here, everything she said "OK" was done.
Just like what the owner said, she has experience.
Bai Yi feels this more clearly, after all, she knows that the owner owns an entire commercial street. And she heard that those shops, like cram schools, lead to different alien worlds.
Bai Yi only learned a little from listening to colleagues chatting in the employee office on the shopping street, and has not been to other shops.
I heard that the movie theater next door is in an ancient world, but the owner has promoted holographic movies there. New movies are released every now and then, and the employees have the opportunity to go and watch them, which is a kind of employee benefit.
Bai Yi is looking forward to the next time her colleagues go to the movies together, so that she can broaden her horizons.
Lu Yao finished drawing the drawings and put them away. In fact, he had already handed them over to the system, and started maintenance and upgrading after closing the store in the evening.
Just after lunch, the customer who had made an appointment for tutoring arrived.
The original appointment for this day was for an adult experimental subject, the one who came with Du Haoling and Xiaomei two days ago, but the experimental subject who came today was very young and looked less than twenty years old.
He took out the tutoring bracelet of the previous experimental subject and explained: "No. 365 just did a new experiment yesterday and is still recuperating in the nutrition chamber. He has no time to come. I am experimental subject No. 52, and he gave me the tutoring quota."
Experimental subject No. 52 has a soft appearance and can be easily mistaken for a girl when he doesn't speak. Once he speaks, his voice becomes hoarse and even his expression becomes lively.
However, Lu Yao did not agree to receive him immediately. Instead, he asked him to wait for a while and called the Super Power Research Institute to clarify the situation before returning to receive No. 52.
No. 52 walked past Lu Yao and looked at her with her head tilted: "Young boss, you are quite cautious. You probably don't know that you are famous in the research institute? The experimental subjects heard that you can go back in time and go back to the past to change the future, so they all want to find a chance to come out and find you. And those white coats in the research institute are also trying to find a name to trick you into being an experimental subject."
When he said this, No. 52 and Lu Yao had already walked into the cram school.
Xie Molin and Bai Yi looked up.
Seeing that the owner's expression remained unchanged, No. 52 smiled meaningfully: "You don't believe it? Or are you confident in your own abilities?"
Lu Yao recalled the first time he went to the research institute to pick up Jiaohe. It was not as simple as Xiaomei explained at that time.
However, the people here could not imagine that she had no superpowers at all. The owner did not explain for the time being and planned to let this oolong continue.
Lu Yao took out the childhood test form from under the table.
After No. 52 filled it out, she held the test form and looked at it for a long time.
After a few minutes, Lu Yao said, "Sir, you can take the bones."
No. 52 had already found out from No. 365, walked over and sat down, stretched out his hand, and waited for the owner to take the bones.
Bai Yi and Xie Molin both came over.
Even though they have seen it several times, this scene that goes against medical common sense always makes people curious.
No. 52 does not want Bai Yi and Xie Molin to participate in his tutoring, and only allows Lu Yao to be his tutor.
After the mind key was made, Lu Yao took No. 52 back to his childhood.
No. 52's request was to go back to his childhood, find his parents, and no longer need tutoring.
The white light faded, No. 52 opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows.
The black floor, white ceiling, and the empty room were full of silver transparent nutrition capsules. He really returned to his childhood.
Lu Yao walked out and pasted a transparent piece of paper on the back of No. 52, and she had also pasted one on her own back.
The environment this time was indoors, and it had many similarities with some of the facilities she had seen before at the Super Power Research Institute.
There must be monitoring facilities inside such facilities.
However, Lu Yao had already considered this situation. In the first minute that the time machine took them across the time and space line, they would not be captured by this time and space to ensure that the tutor and himself landed safely.
After affixing a sticker engraved with an invisible magic emblem, the two of them were like air in this facility for two hours, invisible, odorless, and colorless, and would not be captured by heat sensing equipment.
"Where is this place?" Lu Yao asked.
No. 52 couldn't suppress the excitement in his eyes: "We really traveled through time and space! You are so amazing!"
After going crazy, No. 52 took Lu Yao's hand and lowered his voice: "We must have been discovered. We must hurry before we are caught."
Lu Yao grabbed his hand: "Don't worry, I have taken measures. Is this the research institute?"
No. 52 blinked and looked Lu Yao up and down again, "You are so capable, this makes me want to kidnap you."
Lu Yao narrowed his eyes: "???"
No. 52 confirmed many times that they were indeed not discovered, and immediately relaxed, but did not let go of Lu Yao, pulling her around a row of nutrition cabins.
The cylindrical nutrition chamber was about two and a half meters high, filled with an unknown liquid, and connected to the top by three breathing masks with hoses.
All the nutrition chambers Lu Yao saw were empty. After walking a dozen steps, he saw someone being placed in the nutrition chamber, naked, with eyes closed and a breathing mask on his mouth. Lu
Yao couldn't help but stop. It was like a scene from a science fiction novel. The shock of watching it through the screen was completely different from that of seeing it with one's own eyes. At this moment, Lu Yao felt a kind of discomfort that went beyond the limit.
She frowned: "Is this how No. 365 stayed in the nutrition chamber?"
No. 52 shook her head: "This is an old facility from more than ten years ago. The technology is much better now. But it's about the same."
The door of the room suddenly opened slowly, and three or four people in white coats walked in and walked straight to the nutrition chamber that Lu Yao and No. 52 had seen.
Before the door closed, No. 52 pulled them and ran out quickly.
"It looks like this should be when I was three years old. At that time, I thought they should still be in the research institute, but I couldn't find them anywhere." No. 52 ran all the way and turned back to Lu Yao.
Just now, it was confirmed that they were indeed not discovered, and No. 52 became particularly bold.
No. 52's parents were both experimental subjects. They met and got to know each other at the institute, and later gave birth to No. 52 in the laboratory.
But No. 52 had never seen his parents since he was conscious. He had been looking for them, but he couldn't find them anywhere.
Now, thinking from an adult's perspective, it was incredible that his parents could give birth to him under such circumstances.
And he, who was born by a pair of experimental subjects, became an experimental subject again.
Life is full of irony.
What kind of mood did they have when they gave birth to him?
No. 52 wanted to find them and ask them face to face.
The two searched the institute from the first basement to the sixth floor, but found nothing.
Two hours passed quickly, Lu Yao pulled No. 52 and said, "The transparent magic will soon fail. And the time limit has come. Let's go back first."
Lu Yao and No. 52 returned to the cram school. Bai Yi and Xie Molin were drinking coffee and having afternoon tea leisurely.
It only took three minutes from the time they turned on the time machine to the time they came back.
This trip was more tiring than expected. The two of them really ran up and down the research institute many times.
No. 52 looked thin, but his physical strength and spirit were still good. Lu Yao
, on the other hand, was almost exhausted after this trip.
Bai Yi poured the owner a cup of tea, "How is it?"
Lu Yao glanced at No. 52 and shook his head: "I didn't find it."
Lu Yao turned to look at No. 52 again: "Maybe they are not there. The only place we can go is your memory." Although
the goal was not achieved this time, No. 52 was not disappointed. He looked at the owner with amazing eyes: "I have understood the principle of your ability. As long as you have the bones of the corresponding person, you can see all the experiences of this person's life. They are not in my memory, but I know who has them. I want to make an appointment for the next tutoring, and I will bring new clues then."
Lu Yao frowned slightly: "You are not going to take someone's finger bones, are you? This operation is not something I can do. Don't try it yourself."
Lu Yao's intuition has always been accurate. The young man in front of her gave her an extremely dangerous feeling.
A trace of regret flashed across No. 52's eyes. After a moment of silence, he consoled himself by saying, "The stronger the ability, the more it will be constrained by strong rules. Your ability is so strong and stable, I can imagine how strict the constraints are. I will find a way to bring him or them here, and please make an appointment for me for the next tutoring time."
After No. 52 left, no guests came for a while.
Lu Yao, Bai Yi and Xie Molin sat together to drink tea and eat snacks.
Du Haoling would come later.
Lu Yao had to replenish her energy in advance, and she was going to take Bai Yi and Xie Molin to participate in the tutoring later.
Bai Yi received the instructions from the shop owner and pretended to be a resident of Sanhua City like Xu Xiaoxiao and Xie Molin.
In order not to reveal her true identity, she searched for a lot of information on the computer in the lounge in her spare time and explored the other world crazily.
Even if she only learned about it through videos and pictures on the Internet, Bai Yi found it very surprising and interesting.
If you look closely, you will find that the world of Sanhua City looks similar to the shopping street, but there are actually many differences.
There are some very outrageous rules. For example, as long as the superpower rating of this world reaches A+ in middle school, students can enter the top universities in the region.
When graduating from university, if the superpower rating reaches S, they can directly enter the most advanced and cutting-edge research centers and scientific research institutions in the entire region.
These top researchers were all sixteen years old when they started working.
Sixteen years old, what does that mean?
Have they understood the books? Have they developed a sound self-awareness? Have they perfected their personalities?
Bai Yi continued to search for information while complaining, and unexpectedly saw Xie Molin's photo and a report on the official website of a top research institute.
The report was from a few months ago, and Xie Molin has resigned now, but the news has not been updated.
Bai Yi looked up at Xie Molin from time to time, and Xie Molin was frightened by his gaze, "What's the matter?" Lu Yao
also looked over.
Bai Yi was suddenly caught and felt embarrassed, but he was really curious, so he took the opportunity to ask: "I saw a lot of news reports about you on the Internet. You are so amazing, why did you resign?"
And after resigning, he came to the Childhood Tutorial Center.
Bai Yi doesn't think the cram school is bad, but compared to the institution where Xie Molin used to work, which is well-known nationwide, the Childhood Tutorial Center is indeed not as good.
Or, the existence of the Childhood Tutorial Center is only attractive to certain people, and a big shot in the industry like Xie Molin should not be interested.
Xie Molin put down the cookies in his hand, lowered his head and thought, as if considering how to explain, "Simply put, because I don't see hope."
Xie Molin's original institution was dedicated to individual psychology research, but he didn't know whether it was the wrong research method or the wrong direction, and he never achieved satisfactory results.
One of the topics he studied was how to regulate and eliminate the purple sand tendency of the experimental subjects.
Many experimental subjects are prone to that tendency when they are older, and once they have this tendency, most of them will die within less than half a year.
Xie Molin gently stroked the patterns on the glass teacup with his fingers, his eyes full of confusion: "Some experimental subjects like to eat, we try our best to meet all his requirements and provide food according to his preferences every day. Some experimental subjects want friends, we hold cocktail parties to provide them with social venues and opportunities. Some experimental subjects say they don’t want to be experimental subjects anymore, we arrange for him to leave the institute, but pay him normally to ensure that he will have no worries for the rest of his life. But before long, bad news will come. No matter what we try, we can’t save those experimental subjects."
Xie Molin went from being unbearable at the beginning to getting used to it and being numb and indifferent. In the past six months, he found it unbearable again.
Suddenly one day, Xie Molin felt that the air in the laboratory was so oppressive that he couldn't breathe. It made him feel cold, as if he didn't escape from that environment, he would be the next person to get into trouble.
Xie Molin wrote a letter of resignation on the first day he realized that something was wrong with him. After nearly a week of negotiation, he finally resigned successfully.
"After I resigned, I went straight back to Sanhua City. I stayed at home and never went out. I felt that life was a fog. Even though I had left the institute, I still often thought about my previous job. I couldn't understand why I couldn't find a way to save them." Xie Molin is still troubled by this problem. "The day my senior called me, I searched for information about the Childhood Tuition Center on the Internet. It turned out that it really existed. There was even a video of the owner successfully persuading a suicidal person."
Everyone knows what happened next. Xie Molin successfully joined the tutoring center.
Bai Yi tilted his head to look at Lu Yao, "What does the owner think is the reason?"
Xie Molin raised his eyebrows. Do they know?
Lu Yao frowned: "Everyone's situation is different, and it is impossible to judge without in-depth understanding. However, such a common phenomenon must have an obvious common cause. The reason why humans are humans is that they are different from ordinary animals because they have consciousness and emotions. When the survival crisis is solved, people will naturally have higher-level needs."
Bai Yi nodded: "This need must have been precipitated for a long time and has a concrete image. Generally, For a normal person, the next step is to think about how to meet this need. If you hit a wall, adjust your behavior and try again until you reach a state that you can accept. "
Xie Molin fell silent, and then said, "Isn't this how we do it?"
A few people were about to continue discussing this issue, and Du Haoling walked in along the narrow aisle: "It's so lively."
