After three days of entanglement, Lu Xin came to the door again, and after making Meng Fang suffer for three days, this time he sent out an invitation again, and Meng Fang did not hesitate at all, and agreed with his mouth.

After more than half a year of investigation and research by the expert group of the Institute of Paranormal Phenomena, the Netherworld Array did not come up with any results, giving a Netherworld Array that was not active and there were no obvious indicators of activity, and the construction site of this area was listed as a forbidden place, and the surrounding safety line was still pulled.

The most dissatisfied with this attitude of extending the construction time indefinitely belongs to the developer, and the relevant government departments have only compensated the developer for the land, and the cost before the construction of the Nether Array is discovered is also completely wasted.

The Institute of Paranormal Phenomena is not headquartered in Beijing, as Meng thinks, but in the Three Gorges of Hubei Province in the Yangtze River basin, not far from the Three Gorges Dam, the world's largest hydroelectric power plant.

The car stopped at the gate of a temple, and the door plate was hung with the four big characters of the Covered Boat Mountain Temple, and everyone saw the temple, and their hearts were full of doubts, but no one asked questions, and walked in behind Lu Xin.

The temple looked very ordinary, there were many Buddha statues everywhere, Meng Fang was curious, so he secretly asked Fang Friends who were hiding in the shadows: "Fang Daxian, do you know all these Buddhas?" ”

"I know, they are all disciples of my second senior brother, but they have long since disappeared."

Meng Fang was stunned in his heart, these days he only knew that Fang Youren was an ancient immortal and had a close relationship with Fuxi Shennong, but he didn't know that he still knew these Buddhist saints, and he was even more puzzled about the origin of Fang Youren.

Bypassing the big Buddha statue in the main hall and turning to the back of the Buddha statue, Lu Xin stopped in front of a glass-framed landscape painting behind the Buddha statue, pressed one hand on the glass, and pointed his eyes at one of the positions, and the identification of pupils and palm prints should be hidden behind this painting.

After a series of movements, the floor behind the ground, where a lotus flower was originally painted, cracked apart, and a red carpet rose from the ground.

Lu Xin took the lead and beckoned to everyone: "Come on, in the last few steps, we will arrive at the place." ”

Looking at a series of security measures, Meng Fang's heart was very interested in this research institute that only existed in legends, and walked on the red carpet with great anticipation.

As everyone got on the red carpet, they began to move down, and the top of everyone's heads did not pass the ground, the original lotus floor began to close, and the lights around it were instantly lit up, Meng Fang inadvertently glanced up, there was more than one floor above his head, and the floor was constantly moving, closing the hole.

The red carpet elevator came to an end after less than a minute, and the people inside were not as many as Meng Fang thought at first, in the huge space, more than 20 scattered people were busy with their own work, until everyone walked out of the elevator, and no one looked up at them.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the dean's office to meet the dean first." Lu Xin motioned for them to follow him around the corridor a few times left and right, came to the door of the dean's office, and knocked on the door.

A deep middle-aged man's voice came from inside the office: "Come in." ”

Walking into the door, there was an iron office in front of a desk, a middle-aged man in his forties, who was looking at the computer, and when he saw everyone coming in, he hurriedly got up and shook hands with them one by one.

Meng Fang and Lin Xin were stunned on the spot, not because the middle-aged dean was special, but because his appearance was so familiar, they couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts.

The middle-aged dean also saw their strangeness, but just smiled and quipped, "What? Is there anything dirty on my face in such a closed environment? ”

Only then did the two react, they were a little out of shape, coughed twice, and looked at each other awkwardly.

"I know what you want to say, don't guess, I'm Zongshu's father and the director of this research institute, my name is Zongnan." Dean Zongnan interrupted their thoughts and expressed the doubts in their hearts.

Although there was an answer, which just confirmed Meng Fang's psychological speculation, he still didn't understand it, and asked: "Dean Zong, Zongshu does look very similar to you, saying that he is your son, as long as people who have seen you will not doubt it, but I am a little puzzled, since you are the dean of such a super research institute, why is Zongshu there with us?" ”

"That's a good question, then please answer one of my questions first, what do you think of Zongshu's academic level and business level?" Zong Nan asked with a smile.

Meng Fang looked left and right, and then looked at Zong Nan, who was waiting for his answer, this question was really a bit tricky, thinking that if he still wanted to mix here, commenting on the son of the supreme leader in front of so many people, it was really a little difficult to speak, and if he didn't offend the leader, he was afraid that before he could start work, he would have to roll up and get out of the house first.

After thinking for a long time, Meng Fang found the wording: "Zongshu's academic level is not bad, he can be regarded as an elite, and he is not very old, and his future development prospects are still very great......"

Zong Nan waved his hand and interrupted Meng Fang's speech: "Xiao Meng, you are not a person who can say things against your will, your sentence can be regarded as an elite has already explained everything, in terms of academic research, Zong Shu has his own strengths, but he has no advantages, and in terms of business level, he has no ideas of his own, compared to you, it is not a star and a half, what reason do I have to recommend him here?" ”

"Recommended?"

"Yes, recommended, do you think that as the director of the Institute of Paranormal Phenomena, I have the right to come in as many people as I want? I only have the right to recommend and eliminate here, so even if I want to let Zongshu come here, I have to go through strict scrutiny by the organization, including you, of course. ”

Zong Nan explained the relationship structure of the entire research institute at once, here, all people are independent bosses, the dean only has the right to allocate resources and recommend personnel, and has no right to execute personnel, and all personnel execution is completed outside the research institute, so the direction of each person's research here is determined by themselves, and has the best resource allocation in the world today, and at the same time, they can also find the elite of their weak links here to make up for their shortcomings.

Under Zong Nan's inquiry and Meng Fang's request, the three of them jointly formed an experimental group, with no fixed topic, no fixed direction, and it was all up to them to play freely, but a group would have a three-month inspection period, during which if the dean or other team members found any reason to prove their uselessness, they would be turned on a yellow light, so as to prove the value and necessity of their existence in the next three months, otherwise they would be forcibly eliminated.

For those groups who find their reasons, if the other team proves their worth, otherwise they need to prove their worth, and also come up with a research result that can be put on the table within three months, otherwise they will also face elimination, if the other team cannot prove their worth, then all the scientific research funds and resources of the other group will be accepted by them as their own.
