Chapter 112: Tianyi Workshop
After a brief greeting, several people sat down in the hall on the first floor.
"Sister Tang Yin, didn't Director Yan come back with you?" Fourier clasped his hands in front of his chest, "Is there any new resolution of the council?"
"No, I don't know why, but it may have something to do with what happened in South America recently. ”
"South America" refers to the case of the mysterious disappearance of multiple patriarchs in the Amazon, and has that finally brought to the attention of the Council......
"Well, this scroll illustrates that too. Tang Yin turned over her hand and took out the scroll that Yan Heling handed over to her, "This is what Director Yan gave me after the rating meeting, you can take a look." ”
"On the fifteenth of May, the Temple of Donom, bring Ouyang Valley and Fourier. "There were only a few short lines on the scroll, followed by a detailed map.
"Take us?" Ouyang Gu pushed his sunglasses and turned his head to face in the direction of Fourier, "What do you think." ”
"I'm okay with that. Fourier rolled his neck, "I haven't been out for a while, it's time for the event." ”
"By the way, that red-haired girl, is she still not awake?" asked Liu Ye.
From the time she was brought back in Jiangyue Park, this mysterious girl has been in a coma for two months. During this time, they did a lot of investigations, but they couldn't find out her identity.
"I was about to tell you about it. She hadn't woken up yet, and the medical magic had no effect. Zeng Chen and I wanted to try to send her to a hospital in the ordinary world, thinking that since magic doesn't work, maybe science will, unfortunately, the local doctors don't seem to have the ability to solve problems that magic can't solve. ”
Fourier took out a photo and put it on the table, and continued: "She has no identity and no archives in any country, but in this attempt, Zeng Chen and I successfully solved this problem. After hacking into the national database of hospital records, we found one person among all the patients who showed symptoms similar to unconscious. ”
"Carrien Derick, Chinese New Year's Eve and Nine-Year-Old this year, has been a mercenary for more than ten years, has a strong reputation in the world, has participated in several local hot wars, and has achieved remarkable results. Zeng Chen tapped a few times on the keyboard, turned the display screen one hundred and eighty degrees, and faced the others, above it was a one-eyed man with a cold face, a long scar extending from his left forehead to the right wing of his nose, and his left eye wearing a black blindfold? Pursed lips tightly? It looks very vicious.
"The same coma with unknown symptoms, and the time of admission was January 21? Was he taken to the hospital by ambulance? At 7:20 p.m. that night, he was found unconscious on the side of the road. Zeng Chen crackled on the keyboard again, and two new pop-up windows popped up on the display? " But his admission location is in Tianchen Hospital in the northwest of the border, which is a long way from where we are? If anything, there is a connection between the two? Only the time of admission to the hospital is similar to that of Jiangyue Park, which is this. ”
"Also, based on the monitoring of her physical condition for the past two months, Fourier judged that she had fallen under some strange curse? So this thing may have something to do with the wizarding world. ”
"Magic?" Liu Ye's nose twitched slightly.
Didn't meet directly, though? But the one who was arresting the red-haired girl that night should be Cheng Wenqiu's group. But how could they be related to the curse of the wizarding world because they belong to the highest technology?
"We can only say that there is such a possibility, and we do not have any evidence yet. Fourier sighed lightly, "After all, Director Yan has already seen it?" But there is no trace of magic in sight, saying it is a curse? However, it is only one of the two answers that survive after ruling out other possibilities. ”
"But if it's really about magic, then it's a big deal? It must be reported to the Magic Association in a timely manner, and an executive-level magician will take over the matter. "Tang Yin sat up straight? " Magicians attacking ordinary people? This is the most severe ban. ”
"What's the other one?" Shilan asked.
"Disease? Unknown disease. Zeng Chen replied, "Actually, compared to the curse without a trace, I think this possibility is a little higher." ”
"Is it ...... disease" Liu Ye felt that this possibility was very low, Cheng Wenqiu was not an employee of a charity, and he was definitely not searching for this girl to help her heal, but magic...... Is it really possible?
After getting along with the people of Century Dawn for so long, Liu Ye also has a basic understanding of the magic world, the magic association controls almost all the channels of contact between the magic world and the world of ordinary people, and the industries of those big families in various regions are under the strict supervision of the magic association. Under the suppression of the absolute strength of the Tricontinent Council and the executives, in such an environment, would there really be any magicians who would dare to interfere with the order of the ordinary world?
Could it be...... Black Rose ...... No, this possibility is also very low, Liu Ye remembered what Ouyang Gu said to him in Italy, Black Rose is a magician organization that is extremely contemptuous of ordinary people, and it is unlikely that such an organization will have an intersection with Supreme Technology, let alone face great pressure from the Magic Association now.
"All in all, we don't have a clue about when she'll wake up. ”
"Don't have a clue......" Liu Ye half-lowered his head, his eyes slightly darkened.
He originally wanted to get some information about Cheng Wenqiu and Zhigao through this girl, but now it seems impossible.
"Let's talk about it later, Liu Ye, look at this photo. Fourier pressed his index finger to the photo on the table and moved towards Liu Ye, "This is obtained from the database of Tianchen Hospital, the physical examination photo of Carrien Derrick. ”
"Ah, this is ......" Liu Ye looked at the photo, and suddenly his face changed, there was a red tattoo pattern on the man's back, and there was a butterfly fluttering its wings in the burning flames, the butterfly's wings seemed to be flapping at any time, and the flames seemed to be swaying slightly, and the painting was extremely vivid.
Tang Yin and Ouyang Gu saw the tattoo on the photo, and their eyes narrowed slightly at the same time. Shi Lan's eyes widened as well, with a look of surprise.
"You know the pattern. Fourier nodded with satisfaction, "Although this may affect our relationship rationally, I still want to state this fact: we saw this pattern in the investigation of your identity half a year ago. ”
"This pattern is the symbol of a research institute called 'Tianyi Workshop', which was established after the completion of Boyun City in 2134, and is directly managed by the Boyun City Council, which is a public welfare scientific research organization on the surface, and all the facilities are purchased by the Boyun City City Management Center. Two years later, it undertook the most luxurious talent training program in history, the 'Hundred Talents Program', and with almost unlimited resources from all over the world, it became the world's most powerful scientific research center in one fell swoop. Zeng Chen said.
Liu Ye silently closed his eyes and quietly listened to his introduction.
"But strangely, about five years ago, this once-prosperous organization suddenly disappeared, and all the archives were never followed by that day. Zeng Chen's fingers slid a few times on the computer screen and opened a photo, "This is a photo taken by a reconnaissance satellite two days ago, the original site of the 'Tianyi Workshop'. ”
On the screen is an abandoned building, which looks no more than ten floors, the paint on the walls is mottled, the places where there is no sunlight are covered with moss, many of the windows are broken, and the building is empty, even during the day, it gives people an eerie and desolate feeling.
"Has it become like this......" Liu Ye looked at the photo, as if he had knocked over a five-flavor bottle, sweet, salty, sour, and spicy were mixed together, and he couldn't tell what it tasted like.
"Do you know anything about this 'Tianyi Workshop'. Fourier's eyes looked at Liu Ye intently, "This is the only clue we have now." ”
"Thank you. But, I'm sorry...... I didn't expect that the person I saved on the spur of the moment would cost you so much energy. Liu Ye lowered his head, "I brought the person back, and the 'Tianyi Workshop' is also my own past, don't follow up on this matter, let me investigate it myself." ”
"What are you talking about, you idiot!" Shi Lan stood up angrily and slapped his head heavily from behind, "Your business is our business, why are you still saying such frustrating things!"
"That's right, Ah Ye, driving us away at this time doesn't meet the rules of our partners' activities. Ouyang Gu pushed down his sunglasses with a smile, "From the moment you put her Century Dawn, it has been from your business to Century Dawn." ”
"Hmph, if you think that Zeng Chen and I are doing this for you in exchange for a thank you?" Fourier snorted lightly, "Then you look down on us too much." ”
"Uh...... I ......" Zeng Chen smiled and scratched his hair, "I didn't think about it so much...... That's what I did when I did it, and I'm idle anyway. ”
"You ......" Liu Ye looked at the group of people in front of him, and his heart seemed to have melted into a pool of clear water, and it suddenly warmed up.
"What's more, now this girl may have something to do with the magician, and if we want to sit idly by, it doesn't quite conform to the work rules of Century Dawn. Tang Yin tilted her head slightly, her jewel-like eyes flashed with a faint blue light, "Tell us about the situation you know, about ...... 'Tianyi Workshop', your past." ”
"Okay, I got it. Liu Ye nodded slowly but firmly, "I will tell you everything I know." ”
"Eleven years ago, when I first came to Boyun City, Tianyi Workshop was still a scientific mecca that everyone yearns for, just like Zeng Chen said, Tianyi Workshop, which has unlimited resources, can be called a miracle dream factory, and many incredible technologies have been broken through there - food synthesis, gene kneading, controlled nuclear fusion...... There are so many things that humans once dreamed of coming true here. ”
"At that time, everyone in the school was proud to be able to enter the Tianyi Workshop, after all, no matter whether they were really talented or not, as long as they entered that place, they could grasp great wealth and power. ”
"In July 2153, the last batch of places in the Hundred Talents Program was open for auditions, and Chen Siyun and I signed up with an attitude of trying. For example, Li Wenqing, who was in the same school as us at the time, was even better than us. ”
"But the fact is that you and Chen Siyun accounted for two of the five places in that issue. Ouyang Gu touched his chin, "Li Wenqing is not on the final list. ”
"I'm also very strange, because almost everyone around me thinks that Li Wenqing will be elected. But in the end, on the day the results came out, the names of me and Chen Siyun were written on the list. Because of this, Li Wenqing has always had a bad relationship with the two of us, and he thinks that we cheated and robbed him of his place. ”
"It seems that maybe the selection mechanism is not as simple as you think, in addition to talent and achievements, the selection of candidates for the 100 Talents Plan may have some deeper considerations. Ouyang Gu grinned, "And then?"
"It didn't take long for Chen Siyun and I to receive a notice that we should go to Tianyi Workshop to report, and the location is the place on this satellite photo. ”
"I can't tell that it was a scientific research institution at all...... "Shi Lan muttered as she looked at the pictures on the screen.
"It was still very imposing at the time, at least from the outside. ”
"Xiaolan, don't interrupt him. ”
"Oh. Shi Lan covered her mouth, "Woo-okay, Sister Tang Yin." ”
"Heh......" Liu Ye couldn't help laughing.
"Go ahead. ”
"Chen Siyun and I were very excited at that time, thinking that our life had embarked on the most glorious road since then, and being famous all over the world was only the starting point, and leaving a name in history was our expectation. ”
"In the beginning, it was true, the school curriculum was drastically reduced, and we spent nearly half of the week in the laboratory of Tianyi Workshop, where we could have first-hand access to all academic research, and everyone had a team to work together, and the speed of progress was unimaginable. ”
"At first, I said that, but then it wasn't, what happened?" Ouyang Gu frowned.
"Everything, from the moment I opened the door to another lab, changed completely. ”
"The interior of the Tianyi Workshop is very large, and these are only administrative and management institutions on the ground, and the experimental facilities of several square kilometers are all underground. Each person in the 100 Talents Project has an independent laboratory and research team, and there are other research going on in Tianyi Workshop, and the 100 Talents Project is just a part of it. ”
"You can only use the magnetic rail car to go to the underground facility, and only one person can sit in one room, and you can use it by swiping your card, and everyone's ID card can only go to the laboratory to which he belongs. ”
"But one day, when I opened the door of the rail car, I saw an ID card that had fallen on my seat, and my unquenchable curiosity made me swipe the card on the sensor. ”
"The moment I opened the door, the moment I saw it, I will never forget it. Liu Ye's eyes swayed with a faint fear, "In a wall of dark green containers, soaked in countless eyes entwined with muscles and bloodshots, a man with white hair stood in front of the pool with his back to me, washing one, heart. ”
