Chapter 53

The suspended car jumped over a row of high-rise buildings and stopped at a circular building. The sunlight fell on the glass, and the projected light was a little vague.

[Ding! Identity verification successful!]

A heavy circular mechanical door slowly opened, and after the person entered, it quickly closed again, blocking out all the sunlight outside.

The walls and the floor were silver-gray, and the cold white light hit the ground, making the whole space a little colder.

People coming and going were wearing a white coat and a pair of frameless glasses on their noses. Some jumping characters flashed on the lenses from time to time.

"Thank you, teacher."

Someone noticed the handsome young man who came in and immediately called him "teacher" respectfully.

The person who came was Xie Er, who had not been seen for half a year.

He nodded slightly, took a step forward, and walked to the other side.

"Do you feel that Teacher Xie is a little different?"

A researcher looked at Xie Er, who was thin and in poor condition, and sighed: "But it's true. No one would feel good after hearing the bad news about two good friends."

"Tsk, stop talking and get to work. The superiors said that the data is not good and asked us to do the experiment again."

Xie Er heard the conversation of the researchers behind him. That's why he was in a daze and was no longer suitable for high-intensity work here.

Plus... plus those clueless investigations.

The purpose of this trip was to resign.

Xie Er took a deep breath, raised his hand, and just as he was about to knock on the door, he found that the door was ajar.

Through the crack in the door, there was another person sitting in the office.

The person sat on a black sofa with his back to the door, and his face could not be seen clearly. The dean stood beside him with his head bowed. He bent over and smiled, without any of his previous arrogance.

"Where are my things?"

The smile on the dean's face froze, and he said with a bitter face: "Your Highness, the experiment is not that simple, how can it be..."

so fast.

"What I want is the result. I have invested so much money, you are a bunch of waste."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by someone indifferently. The voice of the person who called himself "this king" sounded familiar, as if he was a prince of the royal family.

For some reason, Xie Er stopped his steps to leave. He raised his eyes and looked at a green plant next to the office, on which an electronic bee was resting.

After thinking for a while, A+'s mental power covered it and quietly destroyed the monitoring system inside.

The conversation inside continued.

When the dean heard this, he lowered his head, and a trace of disgust and shrewdness flashed in his eyes.

"Your Highness, you also know that my research institute is short of resources and naturally cannot compare with the Academy of Sciences. If you can convince Vice Academician Xie, the progress of this experiment..."

The man sitting in the armchair sneered, and his contemptuous eyes fell on the dean's increasingly sparse hair, and said meaningfully: "You are also bold, calculating against this king."

He stood up and looked at the high-rise buildings outside the window. Taller than the high-rise buildings was the boundless sea of ​​stars.

"Xie Er, don't even think about it. He should come here to resign in a few days."

"Why?" The dean frowned, his slightly hoarse voice tinged with dissatisfaction, "Could it be that my small place can't accommodate a big Buddha like him?"

"He resigned from the position of vice-president of the Academy of Sciences yesterday." The man stopped talking and tilted his head slightly, "I will give you the last five days."

Five days later...

he must have an obedient army.

Xie Er lowered his eyes, and a dark light suddenly flashed in his eyes that had lost their light.

There were several footsteps coming from the corner in front of him, and he turned around and walked back to his office.

Before he could carefully recall which prince's voice it was, he heard someone knocking on the door.

Who could it be?

"Please come in."

"I wanted to visit you, but I was busy with work. How are you? Are you feeling better? Why did you come here today? If I hadn't heard other people talking about it, I wouldn't have known you were in the office."

The dean smiled kindly and gently on his wrinkled face.

He seemed to have forgotten that he used to dislike Xie Er the most.

Xie Er rubbed the bracelet on his wrist and smiled faintly, "I feel much better. Dean Long seems to have a lot of questions today. Which one should I answer first?"

He picked up the cup on the table, took a sip of warm water, thought about it, and temporarily put aside the matter of resignation.

Long Wensong smiled and said, "I'm just worried about you."

Then he sighed, stepped forward and patted Xie Er on the shoulder, and said in a heavy tone, "No one expected Alan's death, and the same thing happened to that girl. She must have been used to it, so she thought of going to the wormhole to look for General Jiang's whereabouts..."

Xie Er was not as gentle as before, but looked like General Jiang whose whereabouts were unknown, with cold and sharp eyes.

Under such sharp and cold eyes, Long Wensong felt a chill on his back, and suddenly felt scared, and his nagging voice gradually became smaller.

"I didn't mean anything else..." Long Wensong coughed twice to cover up his horror, and at the same time, he felt a little angry.

"Thank you for your concern, Dean Long." Xie Er spoke calmly, his eyes behind the glasses were as easygoing as before. He rubbed his brows, his back was no longer straight, and he looked exhausted.

Seeing this, Long Wensong breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Academy of Sciences is busy with experiments, and I have been absent for a long time. I really have no strength, so I resigned from the job there." Xie Er spread his hands helplessly, "I have no choice but to ask Dean Long for help."

"Is there anything I can do for you?" Long Wensong narrowed his eyes, wrinkles appeared at the end of his eyes, and his eyes were full of love and care, as if he regarded Xie Er as his own junior.

Xie Er smiled faintly: "Now I only have your position and work left."

Long Wensong smiled knowingly, understanding the implication of Xie Er's words.

His Highness's final ultimatum today resounded in his mind, and his cloudy eyes were covered with a layer of brilliance.

You bumped into me yourself, don't blame me.

The lens flashed a faint blue light under the reflection of the lamp, and Xie Er's lips raised.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Who is the mantis and who is the oriole?

Who knows?

The dirty things hidden in the dark began to appear in the sunlight from an unknown time, emitting a foul stench.

The most anxious people are often the first to reveal their flaws.

The next morning, a new experimental report appeared on Xie Er's desk.

This report...

Xie Er frowned. What kind of experiment requires various parameters of the human body?

As a scientific research boss, he saw at a glance that there was something wrong with these data.

Interstellar scientific research is not like the research on the ancient Blue Star. Their various experimental samples use bionic human parameters, and there is no need for humans to participate in the experiment. Even if there are, they are only a few.

Xie Er rubbed the soft paper. The experimental report, which was as thick as a finger, was full of professional terms and hidden data.

He opened it and saw that there was indeed no golden seal of the Research Institute on the last page.

All experiments in the empire must be approved by the Research Institute. Without the seal of the Research Institute, it means that the experiment is illegal.

As a former vice-president of the Research Institute, Xie Er has handled countless experiments. As long as it is not an illegal experiment, the Research Institute will stamp its approval.

Unless...

"Unless their experiments are against human ethics."

Jiang Yunqi's eyes sank slightly, and a layer of coldness appeared in his eyes.

Xie Er's lips were a little chapped. He drank a sip of water and swept his eyes around.

Long Yilan didn't look very good.

Long Wensong is a collateral branch of the Long family. According to the generational system, he is also her great-uncle.

The collateral branch of her great-uncle has never participated in the royal family and nobles' stance.

But from Xie Er's description, Long Wensong has already taken a side in secret.

The Long family is the top noble family in the empire. Even though the royal family has already established a crown prince, it still cannot stop the wolfish ambitions of other princes.

They have taken a fancy to the power of the Long family and have privately extended olive branches many times, but without exception, they have all been rejected.

"I... died... when I left, the fourth prince suddenly fell ill and died soon. The ones who could call themselves 'this king' should be the princes who were crowned kings at that time."

Long Yilan scratched her hair. What she hated most was the struggle and calculation for power. That's why she chose to join the army. However, there were also conspiracies and schemes in the army.

Xie Er naturally thought of what she could think of.

That year, Jiang Yunqi 'died' on the battlefield, the marshal and the emperor died of illness one after another, the prince disappeared, and the fourth prince succeeded to the throne...

All these things connected together seemed to be a huge conspiracy. The fourth prince, the biggest beneficiary, seemed to be the driving force behind it.

However, he also died strangely that year.

According to the imperial palace physician, he was scared to death.

Tang Yichao was eating melon seeds, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, listening with great interest. It was more exciting than reading a novel!

"Scared to death?" Chu Wanyue frowned, "How can you... be scared to death?"

Long Yilan blinked, retracted those messy thoughts, and nodded: "The fourth prince was kidnapped during the division, and was thrown into an ice cave in the ice land by the kidnappers. After being rescued, his body was damaged."

"What is his gender?" Tang Yichao asked curiously.

"The fourth prince is a genius, his mental power level is second only to Ayun, but unfortunately, he had an accident during the kidnapping."

Tang Yichao muttered: "So much, then what gender did he differentiate into?"

Xie Er: "Omega, an Omega that is not completely differentiated."

"What do you mean by not completely differentiated?" Tang Yichao asked. This was the first time he heard Xie Er and the others talk about the distant interstellar, so he was curious about everything.

Long Yilan suddenly thought of an old story, her eyes fell on Jiang Yunqi's face, and a playful smile flashed in her eyes: "The fourth prince also has a crush on our admiral, and the two of them almost got engaged."

Gu Bingchen paused in peeling the orange and looked at Jiang Yunqi, who had a calm face.

Jiang Yunqi noticed that the mood of the person next to him seemed to have changed a little, so he looked sideways and explained seriously: "Nothing."

"Really."

Gu Bingchen broke the peeled orange, stuffed a slice into Jiang Yunqi's mouth and said: "Try it, it's very sweet."

Jiang Yunqi lowered his eyes and took a bite of the orange. It's

not sweet, but a little sour.

Xie Er's eyes circled between the two of them twice, stopped Long Yilan's rising interest, and answered Tang Yichao's question first.

"An Omega that is not completely differentiated cannot smell the smell of pheromones."

After saying that, he did not want to continue to elaborate, and returned to the original topic.
