At this time, he started to chase after him, but he could not catch up with the homeless man pushing the bicycle.
This physique...
Can you support yourself by delivering food?
Fortunately.
The homeless man was probably unfamiliar with the nearby roads, and in a panic he rushed into a dead end.
"stop!"
"Stop right there!"
Barrow blocked the man in the alley. Under the dim street lights, the figure swayed. He grabbed the man's shoulder and said, "Run, keep running..."
"Professor Jim!"
The tramp turned around, and the familiar look made Barrow's heart beat wildly. A chill ran from his tailbone to the back of his head, and his body shivered involuntarily.
What the hell! How could the deceased Professor Jim appear in front of him?
"It's me."
Professor Jim, dressed as a tramp, nodded slowly:
"Barro, don't panic. I'm not dead. Someone just wanted me dead, so they had to create an accident to cover it up."
"ah!"
Barrow came back to his senses, his mind buzzing, and he subconsciously asked, "Someone wants to harm you?"
"Then call the police right away! Arrest that guy. Tracy hasn't been in a good mental state recently."
Tracy is Professor Jim's daughter, a top student majoring in literature and history, and also the object of Barrow's secret love.
"Call the police?"
Jim shook his head with a complicated expression: "The police can't handle them."
"Listen!"
He grabbed Barrow's shoulders and said solemnly, "Barrow, I need you to do something for me."
"hiss……"
Barrow felt as if an iron clamp was clamped on his shoulder, causing his skin and bones to ache. He couldn't help but gasp.
What a great strength! How can Professor Jim still have such terrifying strength at such an old age?
"You tell me, you tell me, I will definitely help if I can."
"Remember the culture medium in the safe?"
"Remember?"
"Are you still there?"
"Here I am."
Barrow nodded:
"Professor Carl's research does not require the culture medium, so it is temporarily stored there and has not been touched."
"That's good." Hearing this, Jim breathed a sigh of relief and slightly relaxed the strength in his hands.
"Help me take out the reagent number seven."
?
Barrow was stunned and whispered, "Professor, the things in the laboratory belong to the Bito Group. No one except the person in charge can take them out."
"Even if you and Professor Karl want to take anything out, you have to report it first."
"I……"
“I couldn’t get through security at all.”
"Heh..." Jim chuckled.
"Barrow, you are still so obedient."
"You should ask in the school, which student has not taken things from the laboratory, or brought things into the laboratory that should not be brought in?"
Barrow pursed his lips.
He has always been careful and never allows himself to do anything that is not in compliance with regulations. It gradually became a habit.
"professor."
Barrow lowered his voice and said:
"I think if you have a problem you should go to the police. Hiding like this is not a solution."
"Tracy is waiting for you to come back."
"Bang!"
Jim's face was filled with anger, and he punched the wall behind Barrow, leaving a fist mark on the hard concrete wall.
If it falls on you...
Barrow's eyes narrowed, his face full of disbelief.
How could Professor Jim, who has always been frail and often takes vacations, possess such terrifying power?
"Barrow, you are really useless. I have always had high hopes for you." Shaking his head, Jim suddenly opened his mouth and bit towards Barrow's throat.
"puff!"
Barrow only felt a sharp pain in his neck, then screamed and stepped back. He reached out his hand and wiped the place where the pain came from. His palm was covered with blood, and he was horrified:
"Professor, what did you do to me?"
"A little poison."
Jim sneered:
"Look at your blood. Is it turning blue?"
"I'll give you three days to bring me what's in the lab, or you'll be poisoned to death!"
As the blood on his hand gradually turned blue, Barrow's face turned pale and his body became cold.
"Don't think about asking a doctor to detoxify you. It's useless." Jim hummed: "In this world, only I can detoxify this poison."
"Three days!"
He raised his voice: "I only give you three days."
“Swish!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Professor Jim rushed towards the wall behind him, tapped the wall lightly with his hands and feet, and leaped upwards like a nimble gecko, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Looking at this scene, Barrow's eyes were dull, and he felt that the values he had held for more than ten years were almost collapsing.
How could a person do this? That person...
Is it really Professor Jim? He is just an ordinary college student and never thought that he would encounter such a thing one day.
He walked out of the alley in a daze, holding his bicycle. The cold night wind blew, and Barrow subconsciously tightened his clothes.
How could this happen? In the dark.
Two figures fell into the depths of the alley. One of them sniffed and said in a muffled voice: "That thing has been here. There is also a strange smell."
"Jim..." The other person lowered his chin and said slowly, "The shapeshifter in him should be a special mutant. It took so many years of fusion to awaken the extraordinary power."
"Find out who the other person is."
"yes."
The figure flickered and disappeared.
* * * “Professor Carl!”
"Rayli!"
In a corner of the library, the two men shook hands and sat down.
"I didn't expect that Professor Karl is also interested in history." Ruili smiled and handed over a few books:
"It looks like we'll have something in common from now on."
"When I was observing some biological evolution data, I found that there were special changes a few hundred years ago, which seemed to be related to the historical environment at that time." Carl took the book and flipped through it casually:
"So I want to look for history books of that time. Thanks to you, otherwise it would be really hard to find such information."
"In the chaotic era six hundred years ago, due to the collision of the earth's crust, various regions had a complex migration process. It is indeed not easy to understand." Ruili nodded: "Whether it is biology or history, it seems that they are all classified as geology in the end."
Carl smiled but said nothing.
Six hundred years ago, there were many countries on this land, but now it has become a unified federal government.
Dozens of states form a federation, which in some cases are independent and not subject to the jurisdiction of the federal government.
Looking at the world map, one can vaguely see traces of the countries on the continent of the Eastern Kingdom, but they have changed a lot.
Six hundred years ago?
He remembered that it had only been a few decades since he left the Eastern Kingdom, but so much time had passed here.
and,
Topography, history, environment...
Everything has undergone tremendous changes, even the gods who have ruled this world for countless tens of thousands of years have been wiped out.
You know.
The gods of the Eastern Kingdom continent are not ordinary gods. Each of them can be traced back to ancient times.
The lowest level was level six! One level higher than him.
Such beings are almost impossible to kill, so what happened then? "Six hundred years ago is also known as the Age of the Gods. At that time, science and technology had just awakened, and ignorant people who believed in gods began to suppress science, causing chaos."
Ruili said: "Coupled with the crustal movement during that period, the world situation was in great turmoil for a period of time."
"It wasn't until the establishment of the Federation two hundred years ago that things became completely stable."
Karl nodded and continued to flip through the book in his hand.
For some reason, this world doesn't do much research on the history of six hundred years ago. Perhaps it's because of the lack of historical records from that time, so there are relatively few authentic books.
"Bang!"
suddenly.
A loud noise in the distance made both of them look up.
"That's..."
Ruili stood up suddenly, her eyes showing experience: "The laboratory is on fire!"
