Chen Yuan looked at her stunned and blinked subconsciously.

"You...... Say...... You've been working in this agency for a long time?"

Zhou Ran nodded, "But I'm not in the main department, I'm in the third branch under the southern branch, and the place of work is in Yuling." ”

"Wait, wait, wait......"

Chen Yuan's mind was a little confused.

He looked at the mark on the syringe and said blankly, "In other words, this thing was made by the research institute called Esper, and you, who used to work in this institution?"

"Yes. ”

Chen Yuan scratched his neck, according to his previous reasoning, the thing in this syringe should be an amplification potion similar to a stimulant, if what Zhou Ran said is true, then this thing can definitely be made by this research institution. He couldn't help but think about it, assuming that this institution was still there, then it was most likely in a safe city. Moreover, the thing that was able to suppress one's ability before, could it be that this organization also made it?

He rolled his eyes and asked, "Don't you know what's in it?"

Zhou Ran shook his head slightly, "Well, I don't know." Most of the injections developed in the institution are filled with this type of syringe, and if there is no label and box, there is no way to confirm what was originally contained in it. ”

"And what exactly is this research institute researching?"

Zhou Ran replied seriously: "There are many projects in the institution, and I am involved in the one related to cancer, and the purpose is very simple, that is, to completely inhibit the spread of cancer cells through drugs." ”

Chen Yuan followed up and asked, "Succeeded?"

"Of course not. ”

Zhou Ran smiled helplessly, "This project has started since I didn't graduate yet, and it has been eight years since there are still no significant results. ”

Chen Yuan's ghost said in a hurry, "Do you think your research will have anything to do with zombies?"

"How is that possible, what do you want?"

Zhou Ran looked at Chen Yuan angrily and funny, "We're just researching drugs." ”

Chen Yuan thought about it for a while, Zhou Ran didn't look like he was lying to him, and listening to her, that institution was so huge, maybe there were many things she didn't really know.

"And where is the headquarters of this institution? Have you been there?"

"The headquarters is in the imperial capital, and my authority is not enough, so I have never been there. ”

"The Imperial Capital......

Chen Yuan repeated it in a whisper.

He had never been to that city before, but he knew that it was a northern city, and if that institution still existed, then the imperial capital would be the truly safe city.

"Well, what are you thinking?"

"Nope. ”

He looked at the syringe, "I just feel that if this thing wasn't made a long time ago, then the agency should still be functioning right now." Compared with other divisions, the main department is naturally more likely. Assuming this possibility is true, then it is very likely that the imperial capital is a very safe city. ”

Zhou Ran thought for a moment, and then responded softly: "Well, there is indeed such a possibility. ”

She returned the syringe to Chen Yuan, "Are you going to go to the imperial capital to have a look?"

Chen Yuan put away the syringe, "Let me think about it again, this matter is not a trivial matter, and I will discuss it with everyone when I think about it." ”

"Well, if you think of anything, you can always come and ask me, maybe I can help you. ”

"Well, I will. ”

After separating from Zhou Ran, Chen Yuan did not immediately go to Chen Yuting.

He leaned against the wall of the villa and thought quietly for a while.

The information obtained from Zhou Ran can be said to be a precious piece of unexpected information. While a lot of things aren't entirely certain right now, there's just a clear direction.

After a while, he turned around and walked into Uncle Jiang's villa.

Jiang Min just went downstairs to drink water, and the two of them greeted each other.

Chen Yuan asked her with a smile: "Xiaomin, is Chen Yuting upstairs?"

"Well, yes. ”

"Okay, then I'll go up, I'll have something to do with her. ”

"Oh, okay, the easternmost one on the third floor of her room. ”

“ok。 ”

When he arrived at the door of Chen Yuting's room, Chen Yuan stopped and looked, the door was hidden and not locked.

He naturally knocked on the door, "Hello Chen Yuting, I'm Chen Yuan." ”

Noticing Chen Yuan's voice, Chen Yuting, who was sitting at the desk in a daze, quickly looked towards the door.

"Ah, please come in, please come in. ”

She never seemed to have thought that Chen Yuan would come to her room to look for her, so her expression at this time looked very surprised.

Chen Yuan sat on a chair a little farther away from her, scratching his neck and laughing, "That, it seems that I haven't seen you go out for a walk recently?"

He picked up a random topic.

Chen Yuting also smiled shyly, "Oh, I've been a little tanned recently, and then, I haven't gone out much, I want to nourish my skin." ”

"Ah, that's ......"

The relationship between the two was not very familiar, and they were alone in the room at this time, so the atmosphere became inexplicably more awkward.

Chen Yuting looked at Chen Yuan and asked with a light smile: "By the way, did you come to me for something?"

Chen Yuan smiled awkwardly, "Yes, I do have something to do with you." ”

Chen Yuting nodded, "Then you can say it." ”

Chen Yuan grabbed his hair, "Hmm...... How can I say it......"

"It's okay, you can just say it. ”

Chen Yuan's gaze swayed back and forth on Chen Yuting's forearm.

"Last time, you lied to me, didn't you?"

"Huh?"

Chen Yuting looked at Chen Yuan in astonishment, and subconsciously thought that she had heard it wrong.

"You say...... What?"

Chen Yuan pointed to her forearm, and the pinhole was basically no longer visible.

"The pinhole in your arm before should not have been accidentally pierced by yourself. He gestured as he said, "No matter how you sew clothes, it seems that you can't get there." ”

Chen Yuting's face really changed significantly because of Chen Yuan's words, but she quickly calmed down and barely maintained the smile on the corner of her mouth.

"It's just a pinhole, why do you care so much?"

Chen Yuan waved his hand again and again, "Don't get me wrong, I don't have any malicious intent, I really just asked you out of pure curiosity." ”

"If you're just curious, then don't ask me again, I don't have any self-harm tendencies anyway, and I won't hurt anyone else, you can rest assured. ”

"Well, I see. ”

Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment, then took out the syringe from his pocket.

"Do you know this thing?"

The moment she saw the syringe, Chen Yuting's eyes trembled obviously.

"How do you have this?"

Chen Yuan stared into her eyes, "So you really know it." ”

Her thoughts spun quickly, and Chen Yuting immediately shook her head, "I don't know." ”

Chen Yuan frowned, "Don't you remember what you just said?"

"I'm sorry, I don't really know what this thing is. ”

Chen Yuan patiently said to her: "I understand that you may have hardships and many concerns. But I'm really not your enemy, I'm just trying to figure out why you suddenly have an extra pinhole on your body, and whether that pinhole has anything to do with this thing. ”

"I'm sorry...... I can't give you the answer you want......"

Chen Yuan grabbed his hair hard, "Why are you so stubborn......

He sighed helplessly, "Let's put it this way, I used to have such a strange pinhole on my body, but I don't know who made it on me, and I don't know what the other party injected into my body." So I wondered if your situation would be the same as mine. Maybe through you, I can figure something out. ”

Chen Yuting bit her lip lightly, she looked up at Chen Yuan's eyes, and responded in a flat tone: "I'm sorry, please go back......"

"Okay. ”

Chen Yuan nodded vigorously, "I hope your choice is correct." But I still have to tell you that if the rest of the people on the farm are implicated because of you, I will definitely not let you go. ”

Chen Yuting looked at Chen Yuan quietly and did not speak again.

That night, Song Yanan's cold became more serious.
