The sky was clear and cloudless.

ZERO'S MOOD WASN'T AS CLEAR AS THE SKY.

It's been a while since I visited Thirteen, but the strong impact of what happened that day is still vivid and etched in my heart.

Thirteen's last vicious look chilled ZERO's heart, and from that moment on, Thirteen gave ZERO a strong sense of strangeness, as if the girl who had been silently well-behaved had disappeared before he knew it, and was replaced by a foreign object crawling out of the abyss.

Sitting on the soft grass and looking up at the blue sky, ZERO didn't feel the slightest comfort.

The withered body of the tree gradually withered and shrunk like a rotting corpse, giving the impression that the once incomparably tall body would collapse in the next moment.

"Thirteen," ZERO muttered softly, a sad look appeared for the first time in the eyes of the happy sun.

The so-called teenagers don't know the taste of sorrow, but they haven't come to the time of sorrow.

"Maybe I did something wrong, I shouldn't have blamed Thirteen like that, in fact, she is not to blame for the death of the big tree, maybe it's just that it has reached its lifespan, didn't Sister Jing say that everything in the world will have that day?"

Thinking of Yuan Jing, ZERO's heart was stung even harder, and the hot pain on his cheek reappeared. YUAN JING HAD NEVER SHOWN SUCH A FURIOUS SIDE TO ZERO IN SUCH A LONG TIME, AND HER TERRIFYINGLY DISTORTED FACE SEEMED TO BE ABOUT TO BE EATEN ALIVE.

"Everyone... WHAT'S GOING ON?" ZERO PONDERED AGGRIEVEDLY.

Everything around me seems to have changed in the dark, only the sunrise and sunset, bright and sunny weather in this day have not changed.

"Maybe I should prepare a gift to apologize to Thirteen," ZERO muttered quietly.

While ZERO was sitting there thinking, a faint dark cloud had already hung over the institute's research institute.

...

The sunlight through the window began to fade, and Simon Harrison's face became as solemn as the weather.

As a once-world-renowned scientist, he has long been silent from the public eye, and what he has been working on for years is about to come to fruition.

The names of scientists with resounding reputations in history came to mind, and a disdainful smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

In front of themselves, these people are nothing!

Professor Simon picked up a photo frame placed on the windowsill, the photo was protected by the chemical protective glass layer and still did not fade even after a long period of exposure to the sun, the scene on it was as fresh as ever, Professor Simon looked at the photo a little distracted, as if returning to that moment in the photo.

In the photo, two young people sit side by side at an old table, one performing a scientific experiment through virtual reality images, while the other is leaning his elbows on the table, his eyes not closed, as if dozing.

Looking at this scene, Professor Simon smiled happily like a child.

The two people in the photo are the Simon brothers, Simon Harrison and Simon Wilson.

When they were young, the two brothers were so passionate and energetic, and they could see their infinite hope for the future and their enthusiasm for the realization of their ideals from their bodies and eyes. It's all a beautiful thing to come by.

Now Simon Wilson has begun to appear frequently on the television network, engaged in some scientific lectures, but much of the scientific knowledge he tells is considered pseudo-science with a lot of gimmicks, and Simon Harrison has only a silent attitude towards these things.

Simon Wilson has become a well-known citizen scientist.

And what about yourself?

A wry smile of helplessness appeared on Simon Harrison's face.

Although he has an incomparably dazzling aura in the eyes of outsiders and is the idol of many young people, he has long been no longer tolerated by this circle, his talent and ideals are restricted from all sides, and the earth-shattering career he once wanted to complete has already turned into an ethereal cloud and a dream.

I'll make it every one of them pay!

Simon Harrison's fingers clasped tightly on the frame, and the warmth that had just flashed in his eyes began to turn cold.

Distance to success... It's just one step away!

"What did you do with Owen?" Yuan Jing's voice came from behind Professor Simon, and her eyes began to fill with doubt as she looked at Professor Simon's back.

"Back where he came from, the East Island is no longer for him. Professor Simon whispered.

"Hmph! what a bargain for him!" Yuan Jing said hatefully.

Professor Simon shook his head and said, "We are not executioners who kill innocents, and although there will be unavoidable heavy costs in the course of experiments, we still want to minimize this cost. ”

Yuan Jing nodded, but the word "hypocrisy" appeared in her mind, and she didn't think that Professor Simon had good intentions in letting Owen go. A number of recent events have begun to make the staff panic, and if Professor Simon gets rid of Owen again, it will inevitably lead to a situation where everyone is in danger, and it will be difficult for the experiment to go in the normal direction.

For the sake of the bigger picture, Professor Simon must choose forbearance.

"Are you sure Owen won't leak out here?" asked Yuan Jing tentatively to Professor Simon.

Professor Simon turned his back to Yuan Jing and stared out the window into the distance.

Although he has been greatly hit mentally, he has not gone crazy yet, and he still has a lot of nostalgia in this world, so in order to protect these things, he will definitely keep his mouth shut. ”

Yuan Jing thought about it and was finally relieved, and then couldn't help laughing: "But the rest of his life will be quite painful." ”

Professor Simon nodded: "Every day is a torment for him, sometimes death is a relief, and choosing to live is a kind of strength." Yuan Jing nodded thoughtfully.

Professor Simon turned back to Yuan Jing and said, "We are all strong. ”

Yuan Jing pondered for a moment and said, "Thirteen is the strongest. ”

Professor Simon smiled, "Well, who would have thought that a child would have such a resilient spirit, this is a possibility that we could not have predicted in our experimental predictions." ”

"Because she has her own beliefs. Yuan Jing said in a low voice.

"ZERO," Professor Simon nodded.

"At first, I just wanted to use an ordinary person as the target of the group of children, so as to control their minds, to be precise, the existence of ZERO is a bait that they will never get, but people are not as good as heaven, and in the end, the reality is still different from my expectations. Professor Simon muttered.

"No one can escape from this maelstrom. Yuan Jing said suddenly, and Professor Simon set his eyes on her.

Yuan Jing looked at the white-haired teacher and said, "ZERO should also join this experiment." ”
