He told Zhou Qing which hotel he was staying in.

Zhou Qing was thinking about how he was going to get to the hotel, when Bai Yingting suddenly said, "I'm downstairs in your dormitory." ”

Zhou Qing was stunned, he came to the windowsill and saw a slender man wearing a smoky gray windbreaker standing under the street lamp.

He seemed to feel Zhou Qing's gaze and slowly raised his head.

A silent wave surged towards Zhou Qing, sweeping Zhou Qing with a fresh and gentle breath.

Bai Yingting's eyebrows and eyes were elegant, and there was something indescribable in his gaze, as if he had walked a long way and had gone through a long time to finally meet Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing blinked vigorously, and a smile appeared on Bai Yingting's lips, he stretched out his hand and waved it gently.

"White ...... Professor Bai, how do you know I live here? ”

"It was left to my PhD student by your research assistant. Professor Zhou, if you mind me coming uninvited, we can make an appointment to meet somewhere else. ”

"Nope! Of course not! Zhou Qing looked back at his room, fortunately he didn't come back much, but the clothes that hadn't been washed before were still thrown on the sofa.

Zhou Qing opened the door after cleaning up the room as quickly as possible, while Bai Yingting stood there with his pocket.

Seeing Bai Yingting at such a close distance, Zhou Qing felt more and more that he and Bai Yingting were familiar...... Zhou Qing reacted suddenly, he really looked like the S-class creature he had met!

This resemblance is not in the contours of the facial features, but in a more internal overlap.

"Have I seen you anywhere before?" Zhou Qing asked subconsciously.

When he reacted, he felt that this question was a bit abrupt.

"Online?" Bai Yingting replied, and then he smiled again, "Professor Zhou, do you know that words like 'where have I seen you before' are outdated pick-ups?" ”

Zhou Qing's face suddenly turned red, and he moved out of the way: "I'm sorry...... Professor Bai, please come in! ”

"Actually, you call me Professor Bai, I call you Professor Zhou, will it be too polite for our professors to come and go?"

"Huh?" Zhou Qing didn't calm down for a while.

If he doesn't call each other "professor", then what should he call him? Mr. White?

"And......" Bai Yingting suddenly approached Zhou Qing, and at that moment his handsome face clearly appeared in Zhou Qing's field of vision, and Zhou Qing's mind was blank there, "I just joked that your words were like a pick-up, and your face turned red." It seems that Professor Zhou has not been in a relationship. ”

Bai Yingting is very tall, belonging to the type with long legs and long hands, and Zhou Qing, who is one meter seven and five, is still half a head short in front of him. He is different from a serious scholar with low emotional intelligence, he is personable, such a man is knowledgeable, and should be very popular with women.

In order to see Zhou Qing's expression clearly, Bai Yingting deliberately bent down, as if he was looking at a child who had done something wrong. At such a distance, the beautiful outline of his eyes was clearly presented in front of Zhou Qing, and his eyelashes were slightly raised, like a butterfly about to flutter its wings.

"Professor Bai is really joking." Zhou Qing turned around, "I'll make you tea." ”

Zhou Qing's heart was beating fast.

It seems that since he heard Bai Yingting's voice, his heartbeat does not belong to him.

When he brewed the tea and brought it out, he saw Bai Yingting with his hands behind his back and his head half out of the windowsill, as if he was looking at something.

Zhou Qing put down the teacup, also came to Bai Yingting's side, followed his line of sight, and found that he was looking at a small flower blooming in the crack of the wall.

It seems fragile, but it sways in the wind, free in the sun, and can be brilliant without anyone appreciating.

"It's my favorite place about creatures in this world." Bai Yingting said.

"What?"

"Growing under the most difficult and difficult conditions, it may be weak, it may be barren, and whatever kind of living conditions nature gives it, it will exert such conditions to the limit." Bai Yingting turned his face sideways.

There was a faint smell of grass on his body, and Zhou Qing had never smelled such a smell from anyone else.

"Drink tea, Professor Bai." Zhou Qing said.

"Okay." Bai Yingting smiled.

His smile was shallow and unhurried.

Zhou Qing found that even if Bai Yingting's facial features were far less delicate and elegant than that S-class creature, as long as Bai Yingting smiled, that sense of similarity would be doubled.

The two talked about their theory of plant evolution, and Bai Yingting had too many views that were consistent with Zhou Qing. Not only that, but he also guided Zhou Qing to make his views and ideas more systematic and convincing. If his paper was completed with Bai Yingting, there would probably not be so many people who couldn't accept his point of view.

When Zhou Qing's stomach gurgled, Bai Yingting raised his hand and looked at his watch and found that it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

"Oh my God, we've been talking for so long! Professor Bai hasn't eaten dinner yet! Zhou Qing's eyes widened. He and Bai Yingting were so compatible, they forgot the time.

"It's okay, what's in your fridge?" Bai Yingting got up.

"Why are you embarrassed to let Professor Bai cook, we still ......"

Bai Yingting smiled: "At this time, the nearby restaurant is already closed, as for Professor Zhou, who often stays in the research room twenty-four hours a day, can he cook?" ”

Zhou Qing was embarrassed again.

Bai Yingting opened the refrigerator and found that in addition to eggs, there were only some shiitake mushrooms and potatoes inside.

This made Zhou Qing feel embarrassed again, he was probably a person who didn't understand life in Bai Yingting's heart.

"We can spread the egg cake and eat it." After Bai Yingting finished speaking, he took out two eggs from the refrigerator.

"You're going to make it for me? How can this be! Professor Bai, are you a guest, or am I here to ......"

Before Zhou Qing's words were finished, Bai Yingting approached him again. Those eyes were extremely deep, which made Zhou Qing feel inexplicably weightless.

"Professor Zhou shouldn't even know how to make tomato scrambled eggs, right?"

"I ...... I ......" Zhou Qing wanted to say that he would do it, but in fact he really wouldn't.

Most of the time, he went back to his dormitory after eating in the research room. Some time ago, when Zhou Yu was there, it was also Zhou Yu who bought vegetables and cooked, and even the eggs in the refrigerator were left by Zhou Yu before.

In the final analysis, he Zhou Qing is indeed an idiot in life.

"Oh, Professor Zhou will do it? So do you scramble tomatoes or scrambled eggs first? Bai Yingting asked again.

His smile was a little bad, but there was no ridicule or contempt at all, and he even seemed to have known Zhou Qing for a long time, so he could joke casually.

Zhou Qing opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer.

Bai Yingting stretched out his hand and scraped the tip of Zhou Qing's nose.

His heart seemed to be swept by a feather, and Zhou Qing's blood and breathing stopped at that moment.

"Professor Zhou. You have dark circles under your eyes. Why don't you sleep for a while and we'll have dinner together in ten minutes? ”

"Oh, thank you......"

Zhou Qing did not leave the kitchen, but stood not far away and watched Bai Yingting's back.

His wrist formed an elegant arc, and with a slight tap on the edge of the bowl, the egg slid into the bowl. Even if he is with firewood, rice, oil and salt, he still exudes a certain aristocratic demeanor.

Until a plate of egg cakes slipped into the plate, Bai Yingting turned around and looked at Zhou Qing and smiled; "Professor Zhou, why don't you take a break?"

"I'm learning from you." Zhou Qing found a reason for himself to keep looking at Bai Yingting.

Bai Yingting walked past Zhou Qing's side with a smile: "Then taste my craft and see if it's worth learning from you?" ”

The two sat down at the dining table, and Bai Yingting handed the chopsticks to Zhou Qing.

The ingredients of the egg cake are very simple, there are no rich ingredients, but Zhou Qing felt the tenderness of the eggs and the fresh aroma of the mushrooms in the first bite.

It had been a long time since he had been taken care of like this, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

"Originally, my research team will go to the Cockash Mountains next month for a biological expedition, and I would like to invite you to go with me, but I heard that Professor Zhou, you have just recently undergone surgery, and that kind of environment is not suitable for you. It's a shame. ”

"The Cockash Mountains?" Zhou Qing's eyes lit up.

It was a paradise that had just been discovered by an expedition, inaccessible and relatively intact in nature, and because it was in a closed environment, many new species had been discovered.

But no matter how interesting and rare the creatures of the Cokash Mountains were, Zhou Qing had already seen the world of the Nibelungen.

"yes, the Cockash Mountains. But it doesn't matter, when Professor Zhou's body is well, we can go together. ”

Zhou Qing knew very well that it was impossible for his tumor to be cured. If he were sick and dead in this world, he would rather lie in a place like Kokash.

He and Bai Yingting were so compatible, he even felt that if the two of them worked together, all the research would get twice the result with half the effort. If one day he can't do it, maybe only Bai Yingting can continue his research in this world.

But the Nibelungen ...... That world was too dangerous, how could he put Bai Yingting in danger? And even if he recommends Bai Yingting to Juli Group, he may not be accepted.

In the next few days, Zhou Qing and Bai Yingting were either in the research room or on the balcony of Zhou Qing's dormitory with tea, discussing each other's opinions. Sometimes their arguments are quite intense, it is a collision of opinions, but no matter what, Bai Yingting can maintain a gentlemanly demeanor and push Zhou Qing's thinking to another broader level.

At the same time, Zhou Yu finally got the task of sending him to the Nibelungen.

He and Wu Yun will take six newcomers on a shuttle mission to Base 12. This base is a reinforced and renovated old base, and it is known as the strongest otherworldly fortress of Juli Group. In addition to the six newcomers, a number of residents were among the arrivals.

Zhou Yu glanced at the list, there were Li Qian and Doctor Daniel, as well as Zhou Qing's name.

This is a mixed bag for Zhou Qing. The bad thing is that in that world, Zhou Qing has almost no ability to protect himself, and he will even be lured by that S-class creature. The good thing is that if he can't return to the Nibelungen, Zhou Qing's glioma will recur sooner or later. There is a limit to what a person can bear, not to mention that his brain is the most delicate part of the world, and it is impossible to undergo surgery again and again.

The name next to Zhou Qing is a university professor named Bai Yingting.

Wu Yun's head leaned over: "It seems that there are a lot of oil bottles this time!" ”

Zhou Yu replied coldly: "Aren't you too?" ”

Wu Yun was speechless. His old fritter has become a burden in front of Zhou Yu...... What a self-esteem!

A week later, all dispatched personnel were picked up by Juli Group.

When Zhou Qing and Dr. Daniel entered the shuttle cabin together, Li Qian was already inside. He excitedly gave Zhou Qing a big hug.

And Zhou Qing's gaze crossed Li Qian's shoulder, and when he saw the tall man with a gentle temperament, he was stunned.

"White ...... Professor Bai? Zhou Qing's eyes widened.

That man was Bai Yingting.

"You know?" Zhou Yu walked over and asked.

"Yes...... Yes. Zhou Qing nodded.

Bai Yingting stretched out his hand towards Zhou Yu: "Hello Captain Zhou, I have admired the name for a long time. ”

Zhou Yu didn't shake his hand, but looked at him with scrutinizing eyes.

This man has a special temperament. The other people who were about to enter the Nibelungen, even the "old men" like Li Qian and Dr. Daniel, who were not sent for the first time, were somewhat nervous at the moment. But this Professor Bai was calm, as if he was just going to participate in an academic seminar in another country.

"Hello." A few seconds later, Zhou Yu took his hand.

Bai Yingting's hand is very steady, and the temperature of his palm is not high, which shows that he is really not nervous.

"Professor Bai, you were also recruited by Juli Group?" Zhou Qing couldn't help but ask.

"Yes. To be honest, when they came to me, I didn't believe in the world they were talking about. But when they told me that you had joined the program, I decided to join. Bai Yingting replied.

Zhou Qing's brows furrowed, and he grabbed the other party's arm: "Do you know how dangerous it is there!" It's a completely different world from the world you know! ”

"I know." Bai Yingting nodded, "There is no need to pay a price for any knowledge. The more we know, the higher the price. And it's my greatest pleasure to work with you. That's what you're looking forward to, aren't you? ”

At that moment, Zhou Qing felt that Bai Yingting seemed to understand all his thoughts. Bai Yingting patted the back of Zhou Qing's hand, signaling that he didn't need to be nervous. Only then did Zhou Qing realize his gaffe and quickly let go of his hand.

"I'm sorry, I ......"

"Didn't care. Happy cooperation, Professor Zhou. ”

There was a soothing hint in Bai Yingting's smile, as if no matter how nervous Zhou Qing was, he could calm him down.

Zhou Yu watched silently from the side. He didn't leave Zhou Qing's side for a short time, when did this Bai Yingting come out? And Zhou Qing still cares about him very much......

Dr. Cook came to Zhou Yu and Wu Yun and handed over the information on Base 12 to the two of them.

When Zhou Yu saw that the column of the person in charge of the base was filled in with Song Zhi, the heart that had been hanging finally calmed down.

Song Zhi is still alive, which means that Mo Ye has won the night spirit.

Everyone entered the shuttle cabin.

As soon as Wu Yun opened his mouth to say something, Li Qian preemptively said: "Shut up!" ”

blocked Wu Yun's crow's mouth in advance.

The shuttle pod ejected.

Li Qian closed his eyes, nervous Cheng dù was the same as last time.

Zhou Yu observed the white professor, who closed his eyes and seemed to be resting.

Other people who were traveling through the magnetic field for the first time were also very nervous, and occasionally a few people talked to each other, but the topic could not continue due to nervousness.

Nearly an hour later, the shuttle pod suddenly stopped. The personnel in the cabin slowly recovered from the suspension state and recovered gravity.

Li Qian's breath finally exhaled: "We arrived safely, right?" ”

The safety device was raised, and everyone sat up cautiously, looking left and right.

"You won't open the hatch and find that the base has been blown up again, will you?" Li Qian was still very uneasy.

Wu Yun chuckled: "Your crow's mouth is not inferior to me." ”

Li Qian was so choked that he couldn't speak.

When the hatch opened slowly, standing in front of them was Song Zhi who was holding his arms.

He was still the same as before, in a meticulous suit, rimless glasses, and a cold expression on his face.

"Welcome to Base 12. The Nibelungen's rules of survival, I'm sure everyone knows very well. I'm also very happy to see old faces. ”

Song Zhi's gaze stayed on Zhou Yu's body and nodded.

When the dispatched personnel were assigned, Zhou Yu quickly followed Song Zhi.

Song Zhi knew Zhou Yu's purpose, and the two were silent all the way, until only the two of them were left in the passage, and Song Zhi suddenly stopped.

"Where's Ink Night?" Zhou Yu asked.

Song Zhi didn't turn around.

"Are you sure you want to know where he is? I'm afraid you'll regret it later. ”

"It's not dead, is it? If it's dead, you can't be alive. Zhou Yu's brows furrowed, he didn't understand what Song Zhi meant by saying this to him.

"Do you know that Base 12 is the largest, most well-equipped and most robust base of Juli Group here?"

"I heard Dr. Cook say it."

"Because, there's an S-class creature here." Song Zhi replied.

Zhou Yu did not speak. He had a hunch that what Song Zhi said next must not be what he wanted to hear.

"His name is Moye."

When that name sounded, Zhou Yu's heart instantly felt as if it had been cracked.

"What do you say? Ink Night is a night spirit...... It's an A-class creature ......"

"Don't you know that S-class creatures can mimic any biological form? And not just humans, but also the Eidolens. Song Zhi replied.

Zhou Yu's heart was beating wildly like a volcanic eruption, and after more than ten seconds, it gradually calmed down.

He remembered the silver creature that had saved him when he dropped the angel horns, and it had turned into a teenager. It held him and saved him.

He remembered that every time he encountered the most dangerous moment of life and death, that young man would appear.

The past was quickly replayed in Zhou Yu's mind, the most subtle expression of the corner of the young man's eyes and eyebrows, all the deep meaning in his smile, every movement of his gestures, and Mo Ye's big innocent eyes...... They are different.

"Don't you believe it?" Song asked.

Zhou Yu remembered every time that young man appeared, whether it was saving himself in the angel horn, bringing himself out in the lair of the Overlord Silver Bead, or dealing with the bone eater in the observation station...... None of them appeared at the same time as Moye. And, whenever he leaves, Moya will return to his side!

It is not a coincidence that he will be saved, but because that boy is Mo Ye!

When I thought of the feeling of Mo Yehan biting my fingertips, the blood seemed to gush out.

"Do you still want to see him?" Song asked.

"Of course." Zhou Yu's fists clenched tightly.

The little thing that often snuggled up in his arms and was extremely attached to him...... It turned out to be an S-class creature! What is its purpose in doing this?

"If Moye is an S-class creature, how did you catch it?" Zhou Yu immediately thought of this question.

Song Zhi clutched his pockets, lowered his head and chuckled: "Because I told him that if he doesn't shoot himself, the shuttle cabin you are riding in will disintegrate because I implanted a code." ”

"Neurotoxin in the gun?" Zhou Yu asked.

"It's a neurotoxin for him...... Your spinal fluid. ”

Song Zhi's answer made Zhou Yu suddenly angry.

He grabbed Song Zhi's collar and knocked him against the wall: "You guy! You took a sample of my spinal fluid in the name of examination, and you were worried that I would be infected and parasitized, but it turned out that it was used to deal with Mo Ye! You've known for a long time that Ink Night is an S-class creature? But you never sued me! Did you do it on purpose? ”

Song Zhi's gaze looked into Zhou Yu's eyes without evasion.

"Are you angry, Zhou Yu? It's a rarity. At first, I didn't know that Moya was an S-class creature, but I suspected it later. But have you forgotten the purpose of S-class creatures approaching humans? ”

"So what? Do you want to say I'm the nourishment of the ink night? Is it his prey? ”

"You'll have to ask him about it yourself...... If he is honest with you. Song Zhi patted the back of Zhou Yu's hand, "It's not easy to iron a suit here." ”

Zhou Yu let go of Song Zhi and said coldly, "I'm going to see him now." ”

"Follow me." Song Zhi smiled, "You are different from anyone we have here. No matter how much we instill in you the rules of survival, you have your own judgment. ”

"Because you can't be trusted. So what you say is not credible. Zhou Yu replied.

"Looks like I'm in a crisis of confidence." Song Zhi smiled, "But that's fine." ”

"What?"

"You won't make the same mistake as I did." Song Zhi turned around, his words always made Zhou Yu unable to understand.

Zhou Yu followed Song Zhi and walked through the layers of guarded passages.
