Chapter 141: Great-grandson?
"Despicable and shameless!"
After listening to Gordon's account of Statham's purpose for returning here, Mitch Carr and other people at the European Institute were all furious, because Statham not only planned to ransack the real rooms of his colleagues to grab the research results that others had worked so hard to achieve, but also premeditated a list of research projects that he considered plagiaristic value according to his own preferences and visions, and unfortunately, the scientific research projects and achievements of the good friends were listed as "worthless garbage......
"I said, at this time, this kind of thing is not heavy at all, right?" Seeing that these two people were about to get angry and find someone because their research field was despised, I lamented that all the nerves engaged in scientific research were not normal, and I could only change the topic by saying that it was like appeasing the group of old immortals in our research institute: "What should we do now? Do we need to assign someone to stop Statham from breaking through the empty door and stealing things?"
"No, let's continue to the warehouse. McCourt, who had been contemplating and meditating, finally made up her mind and remained unwavering to prevent Chen Xiaoshan from getting the ether.
"Director~!" The two shouted in unison, and they couldn't blame the two for having grudges, although Statham's behavior was selfish, it also reminded us of one thing, since everyone felt that the European Institute could not be saved, then instead of moths fighting the fire and resisting in vain, why didn't they try their best to recover the loss before this natural disaster completely burned down their own homes?
Although in terms of behavior, we inevitably steal and steal like Statham, but our departure is more noble! We will return the things to the original owner...... Of course, from the perspective of fighting for power and profit, this is also the capital to continue to compete with the alchemy family for people's hearts and rights after the catastrophe......
As a result, McCourt still shook his head firmly: "I know what you guys are thinking, it is true that we may not be able to keep the aether in front of that monster, but we at least have the ability to prevent that monster from getting it!"
Then the old man turned on the impassioned mode again: "In order to stop that monster from continuing to grow uncontrollable, in order to pave more conditions and buy more time for others to find a way to destroy him, we need to use all the power we can use≦os_! Drain our resolve and let us lose the courage to deal with a strong enemy with all our might!"
"I know that we will suffer great losses as a result," McCourt said in a hurry when I was about to interject, "but I believe that we will give up these precious treasures to win a longer future, the future of our institute and the future of humanity as a whole......"
As expected, only Glebe's little hairy boy who was not deeply involved in the world was moved, and I pulled Mickey aside and asked, "You guys have diǎn weirdness, as if you are afraid that your research institute will not be clean enough......"
"I ...... I think so too," Mitchell hesitated, "But this doesn't make sense at all, the director has grown up in the institute since he was born, and no one can have a deeper affection for this place than him." ”
"Do you say...... "I'm thoughtful."
"No, it's impossible," Mickey shook his head, "If someone pretends to be the director, we will definitely be able to see the clues, as for hypnosis and other mental control methods...... Stimulation of electrical currents affects brain cells, synapses, and thus controls a person's memories, thoughts, and behaviors. ”
"Of course I know," I said, "I mean, this old man can't have embezzled the public funds of the research institute, so now he wants to take advantage of the disaster to destroy the corpse, right?"
"This ......," Mitchell was speechless, and only after a long time did he make up his mind, "I still believe in Mr. McCourt's decision, and although I don't understand the secret of what he did, I believe that any decision he made was not out of selfishness." ”
"Me too," Carl, who had been listening to the side, also stepped forward to make a statement, and the two old men looked at each other and smiled, looking like a couple of affectionate husbands and wives
Is it because ...... The old man is handsome, isn't it difficult for us ordinary men to refuse the reasonable and unreasonable demands of beautiful women?
Anyway, at McCourt's insistence, we decided to leave Statham to fend for himself, and the goal of the group remained the same and continued to the Omega warehouse, so I said to Gordon, who had returned to a taciturn state after answering our questions: "We're going to keep going, you can go wherever you want, since you heard what we just said, then you should also know your physical condition, and if you want to live, don't go back to Statham's house." ”
The corners of Gordon's stiff grin: "#¥%......&*))))——"
Mickey hurriedly helped translate: "He said that he has nowhere to go, and that his body has been transformed to this point, and he must rely on the maintenance and recharge of the Statham family to keep his body running...... Also, he said he was willing to help us protect the warehouse if we were willing to take him with us. ”
"Don't you need it?" I refused in as tactful a tone as I could, "This is an internal war in their scientific community, so don't join in the fun if you're in the service industry?"
This is not entirely ridicule, but really for the sake of the old man, although Gordon can also be regarded as a combat force, we repair the old man well, and then come up with the means of manipulating the alchemy puppet, it may not be impossible to force him to shine for us, but with the old man's current physical condition, after the burning, it must be the end of the oil and the lamp will dry up, and we are not Statham's grandson, how can we squeeze employees and abuse the elderly like this?
As a result, my joke still Gordon off, and the old man could no longer pretend to maintain his dignity as a prisoner of war, and shouted at me in words that I could understand: "Who said it has nothing to do with me!? I am also a member of the Alchemist Society!!
"Well, I admire you very much for having such a sense of ownership of the unit as your home," I continued to talk nonsense without much care: "But to be honest, temporary workers like us who don't enjoy the formal establishment and treatment don't need to rush to the front in case of trouble, just like me, if it weren't for Chen Sanshan's high salary of a few boards a month for me to drive, the ghost would be willing to go to Europe to break into this Longtan tiger's den......"
I tried my best to dig out my heart and lungs, but in exchange for the old man's indifference: "I repeat, I am a full member of the seventeenth Alchemist Guild of Alchemists, a royal alchemist who has received the Merlin Cross!"
"The Seventeenth Merlin Cross?" McCourt obviously knew something inside, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Then you are also a noble alchemist from a family!?"
Gordon's face was expressionless: "Statham...... It's me, Zeng, Zeng, Zeng...... great-grandson!" (To be continued.) )
