Chapter 208: Your Majesty, It's Time to Turn Over the Cards
"You're very sharp, and I feel more and more that choosing you to join our HX Institute is the right decision." The admiration in Wei Mao's eyes became more and more intense, "I didn't intend to hide this matter from the beginning, our work is indeed dangerous, and it will be life-threatening...... Of course, in the end, the probability of this possibility is still very small, and we have enough protective measures to not joke with the lives of our members. ”
"If you want to convince someone, you have to show enough sincerity...... I don't even know what your institute does, do you think I might promise you? ”
Li Mengnan now feels more and more that this HX research institute is more and more mysterious, ordinary scientific research, even if it is as dangerous as the nuclear physics room, its internal members may not need to face the danger of life, and listening to the tone of this euonymus, it seems that the danger coefficient they have to face there is no less than that of high-risk jobs such as building exterior wall cleaners and high-voltage line maintenance workers.
"Uh...... We are sorry, but there is an internal policy in our institute that we cannot disclose confidential information above D level for non-internal members. ”
Wei Mao shook his head in embarrassment, and in his heart he also scolded the eighteenth generation of his ancestors for making this rule--you go and invite people to join, but you refuse to disclose what specific work you do, what kind of process do you have to burn your brain before anyone agrees?
Fortunately, the recruitment treatment given by the research institute has been good, and there have been signs of continuous improvement in recent years, otherwise he really doesn't know what to say to impress those who are extremely vigilant.
However, Li Mengnan's situation made him a little headache, because he found that although the guy in front of him also likes money, he has a very indifferent view of money itself, and he doesn't know how this seemingly extremely contradictory character is formed.
But it is clear that the seemingly generous treatment of the institute has a rather limited appeal to the guy in front of him.
At least it wasn't enough to offset the doubts and vigilance in his mind.
"Three minutes." Li Mengnan glanced down at the time on his phone, there are still many beautiful things in life waiting for him to enjoy, he doesn't want to waste time with the perverted uncle in front of him anymore, "I'll give you another three minutes to convince me, if you can't do it, then I'm sorry, you better find another way." ”
Euonymus sighed, he didn't expect to enter the final moment of revealing his hole cards so soon.
He took the tablet and exited the illusion generator program, returned to his normal desktop to open a photo, and then handed it to Li Mengnan.
Li Mengnan took the tablet with suspicion, and when he saw the photo on the screen, he couldn't help but have his pupils suddenly constricted.
The photo shows a young man, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a slightly thin figure, dyed short red hair, and quite handsome.
Li Mengnan still remembers that not long ago he had a strange dream during his nap, in which a man in black with a double axe killed the entire education academy and bled into a river, and the young man in the photo was actually the man in black with the double axe in his dream!
Although the person in the dream cannot see the face clearly, Li Mengnan's intuition can replace the eye in a certain way, and it is even more precise.
What's going on?
Didn't the man in black with the double axe make up in his own dreams? Why is it happening in reality?
Or to put it another way, why did this person who existed in reality inexplicably enter his dream?
Seeing the shock that flashed in Li Mengnan's eyes, Wei Mao knew that his last killer weapon had an effect, and he couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart, and said with a slight smile: "It seems that you still remember this person." ”
"Who is this man?"
Since he can come up with this kind of close-up life photo, Li Mengnan can be sure that Euonymus must know the true identity of this young man, and it is obvious that this is the last bargaining chip for Euonymus to negotiate with him.
"This person's name is Ge Lanxiang, seventeen years old, he joined our HX research institute a year ago, and is now a second-level tester in our research institute."
Wei Mao knew everything, and he didn't plan to hide it from Li Mengnan anyway.
"Your institute still recruits child laborers? It's too black-hearted, isn't it? Li Mengnan was very surprised.
"Wait...... This shouldn't be your slot, right? ”
"I suddenly feel a little stressed, and I can relax the atmosphere." Li Mengnan snuffed out the cigarette butt and sat up straight, his expression instantly became extremely solemn, and said, "I want to know how this person came into my dream." ”
The illusionist can use hypnosis to form a projection of himself in the recipient's brain, but he cannot directly connect with his thoughts, and can only rely on the recipient's language to describe and feedback to adjust the action of his projection in the recipient's brain.
This may sound like an incomprehensible statement, but the simple answer is that no illusionist or hypnotist has been able to enter other people's dreams in any way.
And this red-haired boy obviously subverted Li Mengnan's perception of this common sense.
"You think that's your dream? No, the dream has something to do with you, but it's not a dream that belongs to you...... But one thing you did guess correctly, Ge Lanxiang can indeed enter anyone's dreams, and I can make an exception to tell you that in our HX Institute, people like him are not alone. ”
The two chatted for so long, and finally took the initiative in the conversation again, and the smug smile finally appeared on the face of the euonymus again.
"In other words, you have the means or techniques to enter other people's dreams?"
Li Mengnan has never doubted the power of science, since this HX research institute can create something like an illusion generator with the same principle as illusion, then it is theoretically possible to create an instrument that can directly let one's own consciousness enter the dreams of others, just like the once smash hit sci-fi blockbuster "Inception".
"Uh...... You guess? "Euonymus's smile is very cheap and underwhelming.
Li Mengnan didn't say a word, got up and turned his head to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't be so stingy, okay! Only then did Wei Mao understand that as long as Li Mengnan did not let go, he would never be able to take the initiative, and hurriedly softened: "Our research institute has strict confidentiality regulations, I am not playing with you, but there is only so much to say...... Of course, if you can sign this contract and become a full member of our HX Institute, you can know these things you want to know. ”
As he spoke, Euonymus took out a contract in black and white from his small satchel, put it on the table and pushed it in front of Li Mengnan.
The contract is in triplicate, each with about a dozen sheets, stacked together in a thick pile, giving people a very formal feeling.
Li Mengnan picked up one of them and flipped through it briefly, and found that the more critical content in it was basically similar to what the euonymus said, and there was nothing important left in the other details.
It can be said that apart from the many welfare clauses and the accident casualty protection clauses, there is almost no difference between this contract and the employment contract of ordinary enterprises.
Li Mengnan buckled the contract, pushed it back in front of Wei Mao as it was, and said indifferently: "You are late, if it had been two days ago, I might have really considered agreeing to you, but now...... All I can say is that I'm happy with my life and don't want to change anything. ”
Li Mengnan is a person who does not have high requirements for material life, and he has recently become sensitive to money, and it is only because of Xiao Baoer's huge surgery fees.
But now that the shantytown demolition notice has come down, and Bao'er's surgery fee is no longer the biggest problem bothering him, his thirst for money has faded again.
Change means more unknown situations happen, Li Mengnan likes his current life very much, and he doesn't want to see any accidents.
"You...... If you think again, I can guarantee that you will love this job at our HX. ”
Although it had already been seen that Li Mengnan had eaten the scales and had an iron heart, the euonymus still tried to make the last dying struggle.
"Three minutes has been a long time."
Li Mengnan took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, ignored the persuasion of the euonymus, got up and walked straight to the door.
Pushing open the door, Li Mengnan suddenly seemed to remember something, stopped and turned his head and said, "I forgot to tell you that my dream is to be a teacher...... And by no means scientists. ”
……
In the days that followed, Li Mengnan's college life returned to normal.
The Euonymus of unknown origin seemed to have completely given up the idea of recruiting Li Mengnan, and had not appeared since noon on the day of the fight, which made Li Mengnan, who thought that the other party would "look at the thatched house" and persevere, was a little uncomfortable, and there was always an inexplicable illusion that the goods would suddenly jump out of the grass when walking on the road.
The welcome party was held as scheduled, as the only magic trick in the whole party, Zhao Yingjun's program was widely acclaimed, and this little fat man was also a little limelight in the school.
At the dormitory celebration banquet at the end of the party, Zhao Yingjun finally mustered up the courage to confess to Miao Miaomiao under the coaxing of several animals, the pseudo-Lori obviously didn't expect such an episode, and was very moved, and then ...... rejected Zhao Yingjun's confession.
Later, Li Mengnan learned from Minnie Mouse who slept with Miao Miaomiao that this pseudo-Lori had a boyfriend as early as high school, but the two were not admitted to the same university, and they are currently in a painful and happy long-distance relationship.
In this way, Zhao Yingjun's first love ended gorgeously before it began.
However, this little fat man's mentality is not bad, he is still happy all day long, and under the comfort of Liang Sanbo's undisciplined exercise of "as long as the hoe is swung well, how can there be a corner that cannot be dug down", he said that he would regroup and fight again in the future.
Although Zhao Yingjun's college love shot off the target at the first shot, that still romantic confession obviously stimulated the other two animals in the dormitory.
Since the celebration banquet on that day, Liang Sanbo and Gao Dingtian, the two animals, seem to have suddenly entered the estrus period, and the sleeping talk will inevitably be crooked without three sentences every night, and then the topic will revolve around the girls in their respective departments, and listening to the tone, the posture seems to have determined the goal.
Of course, these three animals will naturally not forget Li Mengnan, hearing that Li Mengnan does not have a girlfriend, they all want to introduce the girls in their respective classes to him, and even secretly took a lot of photos for Li Mengnan to choose.
At this time, Li Mengnan would have a feeling of becoming an emperor, and every night he was surrounded by three chief managers who asked to turn over the cards.
Touched is moved, but I have to say that the quality of the girls in this class is really not very good.
Liang Sanbo and Zhao Yingjun are not the places where beauties are recognized in Tunghai University, but because of the particularity of their majors, the appearance of female students can generally be above the average line, even if it is not eye-catching, at least it will not make people poke their eyes.
But the photo Gao Dingtian brought was quite weird, Li Mengnan and Liang Sanbo Zhao Yingjun, the three heads were together, and they couldn't see which of the burly men in the photo was a woman.
Okay, it's not your fault that you're tall and strong, and having no chest, no waist, and no ass is also a legacy of history, but at least you should have long hair as a woman, right? With this clear and watery head, you are comfortable, is it possible that others have to pick up your pants to confirm your real gender?
It was once difficult to turn the sea into water.
Although Li Mengnan is not a person who cares much about the appearance of girls, but by his side, there is either a long-legged royal sister like Wu Ansu, or a burst = milk Lori like Qing Che, and even has two **bone-eroding passions with the gorgeous and charming Minnie, such an experience obviously directly raises his aesthetics, so that it is difficult to mention interest again when you look at these ordinary girls who are not ugly.
Therefore, for the kindness of Liang Sanbo, Zhao Yingjun and Gao Dingtian, he can only thank Bumin.
Speaking of Minnie, since the spring breeze last Saturday, the other party's attitude towards him has changed significantly.
Although he still has that cold face in school, he no longer intentionally avoids him, and even in crowded situations, he can communicate normally like ordinary classmates.
And when no one is around, such as in the empty classroom for evening self-study, among the woods by the artificial lake, although Minnie does not take the initiative, she will not refuse his affectionate actions such as hugging, touching, and kissing.
There was even an emotional situation, and the two fought a field battle in the sky.
Li Mengnan didn't know what the current relationship between him and Minnie Mouse was...... Brother and sister are not like brother and sister, friends are not like friends, and couples are not like couples.
However, whenever he wanted to confirm with Minnie, he was either told by Minnie that he deliberately diverted the topic, or was forcibly interrupted by the other party, and it was obvious that Minnie didn't want to answer the question at the moment.
"I'm sure I like the feeling of being intimate with you now, but I'm not sure I'll love being with you at other times as well...... So, for the time being, keep the relationship between the two of us as it is, and in the meantime, I won't interfere with you going to find other girls to fall in love, and you won't try to make me take a stand, okay? ”
This is probably the clearest explanation Minnie has ever given to the strange relationship between the two.
Li Mengnan is a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder, although he doesn't necessarily have to determine the relationship between the two, but he always feels a little entangled in dragging it out like this.
Although he also knows that emotional matters are inherently muddled and unclear.
Although there has been no progress on Minnie's side, the relationship between Li Mengnan and Qingche's little girl has been improving by leaps and bounds during this time.
Since Monday morning's "study hard and go up every day" text message, Qingche's little girl has been texting Li Mengnan from time to time, the content is actually very boring, mostly talking about what she is doing now, it feels like she is reporting her itinerary to Li Mengnan at any time, and this little girl is still happy to do it.
Later, the frequency of the text messages was so high that Li Mengnan began to feel sorry for his phone bill, so he simply gave his WeChat account to this little girl.
There is no limit on phone bills, Qingche, this little girl, is even more intensified, as long as it is a break, she will chat with Li Mengnan from time to time, and if both parties have wifi, they will even make video calls.
Li Mengnan is not good for people to know that there is such a teenage little Lori who sticks to him all day long, otherwise the animals in the dormitory may have to button him up with the big hat of "perverted Lolita", and then spread to most of Tunghai University.
But he couldn't bear to explain directly, hurting Qing Che's little Lori's heart, so he had to hide it every time he chatted in the bedroom, and several times even because of Qing Che's sweet and greasy voice, he was mistaken by the three animals for playing that kind of vulgar video chat room, and he also held a special meeting to educate him bitterly.
Later, after the little girl learned about this, she was almost unable to get up with a smile, but she was also very considerate and said that she would only do the most normal chat in the future, unless Li Mengnan took the initiative to apply, she would never open the video again.
Li Mengnan generously forgave her.
Although during this time, Qing Che's little girl's chatting behavior regardless of time and occasion was close to harassment to him, but from the words of this little girl's chat, Li Mengnan could also clearly feel that the depression and pressure in this little girl's heart dissipated a lot with the chat, and even occasionally joked or coquettishly played with him.
However, as for the words that he said that he wanted to be his girlfriend that day, this little girl didn't say a word anymore, obviously kept her promise, but she didn't hide the intimacy that came to her heart.
Although it was not intentional, this move of the little girl can be said to have directly hit Li Mengnan's weakness.
He suddenly felt that if five years later, the little girl Qingche could still maintain the current thoughts and mentality, he really couldn't choose this little girl.
……
Two weeks have passed, and the demolition notices of the shantytowns have been plastered all over the walls, and almost everyone is immersed in the joy of moving to a new house.
But on the morning of Friday, Li Mengnan suddenly received an urgent call from Xiao Baoer during class.
"Brother, come back quickly! Something happened at home! Something is wrong! ”
