Chapter Twenty-Four: Underground

"In front of me is a trail with lush rabbit whisker grass growing on the side. In the winter months in the south, which is not cold, only this rabbit beard grass can still begin to bear lilac flowers, and the three petals as thin as the wings of a cicada are timidly crowded together, like the mouth of a rabbit. The trail is surrounded by solemn evergreen trees, and is blocked by a shallow stream. The stream is divided into several sections by aquatic butterfly lilies, during which you can also see lively aquarists swimming and foraging. ”

So Saltan told the unicorn to stop in front of the stream and wait.

In a short time, the sound of heavy horses' hooves came from far and near, and soon broke the silence of the forest. Necro Knight, Thor? Diggs rushed out of the other end of the trail. ”

When the woman finished reading this sentence, she closed the page.

So Yu Qingqing and Teresa both sighed dissatisfiedly: "And then? ”

"And then there's tomorrow's story." A slight smile tugged at the woman's lips as she placed the black-covered book on the table, "Now it's time for you two to go to the lab." ”

"Laboratory......" Theresa pulled out her voice and grabbed the woman's arm coquettishly, "Miss Vivien, read it again!" ”

Yu Qingqing also raised his head to look at the young woman sitting opposite, her big eyes reflected the light of the candle flame, full of expectation and longing.

Vivian smiled softly: "Don't be greedy, two little ones, this book has not been written yet, I listened to tomorrow's story today, maybe one day I won't hear it." ”

Teresa pouted in dissatisfaction. And Yu Qingqing thought for a while, tilted his head and asked, "Miss Vivian." In the book you read...... Is the magic in this the same thing as the abilities we see? ”

"Maybe?" Vivien smiled and spread her hands, "Maybe what is written in the book is what happened in this land before we humans appeared?" ”

Teresa whispered: "Then you are also surnamed Madil, and the woman in the book is also surnamed Madil, is she your ancestor?" ”

Vivien stood up, grabbed the hands of the two little girls, and pulled them up as well, "All right." Tomorrow we will continue the story. Now, you need to drink something. ”

The phrase "drink something" seems more odious than "go to the lab". Yu Qingqing and Teresa pouted in unison and stopped talking.

Vivien walked to the other end of the room. Open a box that is placed on the table. Inside the box is a padding of special engineering plastics. On the mat was a thermos flask-like thing and two tiny cups.

Vivien took out the thermos flask and placed it on the table, picking it up with one finger. So the cap rotates slightly, and a piece of metal in the middle of the cap sinks. Six ring-shaped holes then appear on the bottle, which spew out a very light white vapor.

Wait for the steam to dissipate. Vivien reached out and unscrewed the lid. Reveal a pool of yellowish liquid inside.

She carefully poured the liquid into the graduated cup. Close the lid again.

By this time, the two little girls had reluctantly walked to the table. But they still frowned, and quickly picked up two small cups and drank them all.

Then they grimaced at each other behind Vivien.

Vivien closed the box. Looking at the two of them tenderly, "You should be happy." This thing will make you ...... More different. ”

"It's still hard to drink." Teresa frowned, "It's like drinking rotten water that has been sitting for a year." ”

"Hmm......" Vivien frowned and nodded, "Actually, I've drunk something more horribleβ€”"

She looked at Yu Qingqing: "There was once a Chinese who soaked wine with tiger bones, and put a lot of things that he said were medicinal herbs, and brought them to me to drinkβ€”that taste was even stranger." ”

"But what's even more terrible," she said with a smile, ...... "I drank it and found that there was a little snake in the bottle, which was alive!" ”

Teresa's eyes widened in surprise: "Why do you want to make wine with tiger bones?" ”

"Because the Chinese believe that if you drink what is soaked in that bone, you will become stronger." Vivien replied with a smile.

However, Yu Qingqing blinked. Look at the box on the table, then at Vivien, and whisper, "Will it become more different?" ”

Vivien was stunned. But this subtle expression flashed on her face, and she leaned over and rubbed Yu Qingqing's head: "Maybe? ”

Then he stood up: "Let's go." ”

The door opened. Outside the door is a long, glossy white hallway.

The walls of the hallway are made of large sheets of fluorescent material, which emit a light that is not inferior to that of the electric lights of the past. There were also rooms on the walls of the corridors, where men and women in white uniforms and with blood crosses on their chests came and went, going from room to room.

Vivien carried the box in her hand, followed by Yu Qingqing and Teresa. She walked down the hallway to the other end, where people stopped and retreated in silence.

The two little girls seemed to be accustomed to this situation, but Yu Qingqing still looked at the people next to her. After observing for a while, she sighed slightly, took two steps to Vivien's side, and hooked her fingers: "Sister, when will Sister Ye and Uncle Rong come back?" ”

Vivien smiled softly, "Don't worry, they're on a mission on the ground, maybe they'll be back in a week?" ”

Yu Qingqing pursed his lips and nodded.

The three of them turned two corners, passed through the large hall where people came and went, and finally followed the corridor to a metal door.

There are two muscular guards in the doorway. Vivien nodded to the two men, and the guardian turned and pulled the wrench. White steam gushed out from the cracks in the alloy doors, and the panels parted to the sides with a muffled "rolling" sound.

Vivien stepped back and smiled at them, "Go ahead." ”

So the two little girls went into the room. This room looks like it's only supposed to be in a science fiction movie. The wide walls are filled with robotic arms, and dense wires and steel beams crisscross across the ceiling, spewing a faint white mist from time to time. In the middle of the room is a large cylinder that takes up almost half of the room. And at the foot of this cylinder, there are two black "chaise longues".

Next to the "chaise longue" is a variety of electronic screens that pulse, pulse, and a silver-white, completely sealed helmet on top of it. The tip of the helmet is connected to a wire that extends into an interface at the foot of the cylinder.

In this room......

There was electricity.

In fact, the power supply is three people. Three capable people sitting in the other corner of the room, wearing special costumes as heavy as spacesuits. Their eyes were closed, and their faces were covered with tiny blue-black veins, which looked quite scary. It's just that another sturdy metal partition in front of the three of them separates them from the two little girls.

Yu Qingqing and Teresa climbed onto the two recliners and picked up their silver lightweight helmets. Before putting it on, Teresa was still asking Yu Qingqing: "Where are we going to play at night?" ”

Yu Qingqing thought for a while: "I still have homework." ”

Teresa sighed, "What about after you finish your homework?" ”

"Then it's time to sleep."

Teresa turned her head in discouragement: "...... All right. ”

Then she put her helmet on.

And Yu Qingqing held the big helmet and thought for a while, glanced quickly at the corner of the room, and put it on.

The two small bodies lay on the chairs, and the screen waveforms next to them trembled for a while, and finally calmed down completely.

Vivien stood behind a one-way glass wall, her expression serious and deep. She frowned and looked at the young man in front of the console beside her, "Did you notice?" Yu Qingqing glanced at the monitoring position. This has been the case every day for four days. ”

"It's not normal for her to notice." The young man put his hands behind his head, folded his legs on the console, and said lazily, "Look at her brainwavesβ€”how horrible they are." I don't even suspect that my abilities have worked against her. ”

Vivien stepped over and glanced at the screen, and sighed softly, "Incredible. ”

"Give me that thing, and I'll become a terrifying being than a king." The young man pouted, "The potion of the bones of the Holy Spirit...... It was used for such a little girl. ”

Vivien glanced at him, "Worse than a king?" And then what? Do you create more mentally handicapped children? ”

"Please, the Chinese call my ability 'Brain Dead Aura'β€”" the young man cried, "Haven't you heard of it?" 'The body of the tiger was shaken', and "bowed to the head and bowed" - it was me. ”

Vivien spread her hands, "Come on, Froude, I think you should finish your book quickly." They're more interested in your novels than you......"

The door opened.

So the two men stopped talking, and Froude scrambled to jump out of his chair.

An old man walked in.

Vivien and Froude respectfully saluted him: "Your Excellency. ”

The silver-haired old man nodded slightly, walked to the glass wall and looked at it for a while, then asked, "How is it now?" ”

"Looks like it's okay." Froude put away the expression on his hippie smile and replied in a low voice, "The potion has been given to Yu Qingqing for four months, and she has no rejection reaction or alienation tendency. Now her brain can take in 300T of information in one second. ”

The old man stroked the blood cross on his chest, was silent for a while, and then said, "You must have full certainty. This child is very calm and rational, and it is difficult for us to find someone with the ability to bear as well as her. ”

"Guaranteed, Your Excellency." Vivien also said softly, "We've actually delayed the progress by two weeks. ”

The old man sighed: "Okay. So...... Just today. Ask her to talk to the Holy Spirit. ”

===================================

Ha! Why do you all have tricks and I don't? So I got one for myself.

Mr. Shen is really dead, but this matter is not over yet. There are arguments in the book review section, and people in the novel will have all kinds of opinions.

But in order not to deviate from the topic for too long, I've moved the follow-up events back. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
