Chapter 375: Meet the Doctor
Xia Ren opened his mouth.
A doctor turns out to be S-class, so how many are S-class here?
"Sure enough, it's the headquarters of the Foundation, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
In fact, Xia Ren was wrong about this, even in the headquarters, there were actually only a few S-class members, and they either couldn't leave for some special reasons, just like doctors, or they came back to repair temporarily.
There are very few real S-class members, and they are basically burdened with important missions, otherwise if the S-level is all over the street, then there will not be only Yi Zhiyu and Tang Tangtang, who have just joined, who brought Xia Ren over this time.
The eighteen basement floors are very different from the seventeen above, and the most striking thing is that it is much more empty, with no criss-crossing metal corridors and more like a plaza, with no pillars to support the building at a glance.
"The Doctor is here?"
Xia Ren couldn't help but ask.
However, there is obviously nothing here.
Doctor Liao smiled and deliberately said, "The doctor is here." ”
"Huh?"
Xia Ren looked at him suspiciously.
Dr. Liao said the second half of the sentence: "But he and we are in a different space. ”
"What do you mean?"
"It's literal."
After Dr. Liao finished speaking, he said to himself, "It's almost. ”
As soon as the words fell, the air in front of them suddenly rippled, Xia Ren felt an extremely dangerous aura, but some familiar aura emanated from behind those ripples, and before he could think about it, the ground under his feet became soft like cotton.
Immediately afterwards, the space in front of him, which was originally a single color, suddenly bloomed with an incomparably brilliant light, and the feeling of weightlessness hit, and Xia Ren felt that his body was floating in the air, with nowhere to borrow.
He tried to scream, but the sound snapped back irregularly from all directions, as if the space around him had broken into pieces, each of which was a separate entity.
Xia Ren thoughtfully thought of the broken mirror in the bathroom for no reason, and the appearance of himself reflected in it was also divided into many pieces.
Fortunately, this feeling came and went quickly, and after about two seconds, the surrounding space returned to normal.
Xia Ren rubbed his eyes and found that Dr. Liao, who was standing beside him, was gone, and the environment he was in had changed, no longer the empty square, but a wide room.
There were no lights in the room, and it was pitch black around the walls, except for a faint light in the center of the room.
Xia Ren looked over and saw that the light source came from a transparent glass pillar standing in the center of the room.
Inside the pillar, a handsome boy of fourteen or fifteen years old was soaking in an emerald green liquid, floating silently.
"No wonder it feels familiar."
Xia Ren's gaze condensed slightly, and the emerald green liquid in the transparent cylinder was the dark water.
But what is the identity of the teenager who bathed in it?
I don't know what it was about, but the air in the center of the room was constantly distorting, like a summer heat wave.
Anyway, it's all here, Xia Ren simply didn't care so much, and asked directly loudly: "Hey! Did you bring me here? ”
After saying this, Xia Ren suddenly felt that something was wrong, in case the other party came to say, "First of all, I don't call Hey, my name is Chu Yuxing", then how should he answer?
But fortunately, not everyone has such divergent thinking.
The boy opened his eyes and looked over.
Xia Ren was surprised to find that the position of the other party's eyes turned out to be two pitch-black hollows, and when he looked down, there was still a simple silver-gray key hanging around his neck.
"Why is the shape of this key so familiar?"
Xia Ren muttered in his heart, but then, he immediately remembered where he had seen it.
Not long ago, when I entered the fantasy dreamland!
In that boundless darkness, huge and terrifying worms attacked him, and an old man in a white coat with a somewhat hunched back helped him to resist the terrifying existence.
And the old man had the same silver key around his neck.
"What is the relationship between this young man and the old man?"
Before Xia Ren could continue to ask, the young man spoke.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
He said that his voice was hoarse and old, like an old man who had reached his prime, and there was a far difference between his appearance and that of his youth.
How should I take this?
Xia Ren tilted his head slightly, hesitated for a moment, and answered: "Yes, I'm here." ”
But the later dialogue was not as Xia Ren thought, the other party said: "You shouldn't come." ”
Then he said, "I'm here anyway." ”
The boy paused, and said; "I'm the Doctor."
"Huh?"
Xia Ren was a little surprised.
In his original vision, the Doctor, as one of the leaders of the Foundation, would either be a mysterious middle-aged man, or a mysterious old man, and even a royal sister he could accept.
But who would have thought that the doctor turned out to be the appearance of a handsome teenager.
"You have many questions now, ask them one by one, and I will answer them for you slowly."
The doctor finished and closed his eyes.
Xia Ren thought for a moment and asked the first question: "Where is this?" Where's Dr. Liao? ”
"This is the eighteenth floor, which contains some important items, and our conversation can't be known to a third person, so I left him in the same space."
The Doctor spoke slowly, and there was a hint of exhaustion in his tone, but his words were clear.
After a moment's hesitation, Xia Ren asked the second question: "Who am I?" ”
This question is the point.
And the reason why he didn't ask first, leaving the first opportunity to a seemingly inconsequential question, was actually to test to see how much information the other party was willing to reveal to him, and then judge whether what he said next was worth trusting based on the feedback he received.
Fortunately, the results of the trial were relatively gratifying, and the doctor did not hide it, although the answer was relatively brief, but everything that should be said was said.
The doctor did not answer immediately, but was silent for a while.
This may seem like a simple question, but it's actually very complex.
Just from the information that Xia Ren himself currently has, he can vaguely see the smell of conspiracy.
Although the parents have always claimed that their sister Xia Qiudong was adopted and that they were biological, this is not the case.
In the investigation of Zhang Xiang, a ghoul cub in Jupiter City, Xia Ren once found Chen Qiwei, a trafficker who was used by a witch to send Zhang Xiang into human society.
In Chen Qiwei's hand, there is a notebook that records the specific details of the children he has sold over the years, including the year of the sale and the home address of the buyer.
Xia Ren then knew that he was not born by his parents.
Moreover, Zhao Mingyue's existence, as well as his mask, as well as Huang Qiuyuan and Jiufeng, were all reminding him that his memory had been tampered with.
Xia Ren can be sure that as long as he solves the mystery of his identity, many problems will be solved.
The time for the doctor to think was originally expected by Xia Ren to be longer.
I don't know how long it took for the other party to finally speak, "Your past is too long, so far away that I can't go back to that time and space. ”
"The evil cold mist is shrouded in the fault between the two planes, and whenever I want to peek behind the fog, the trembling and fear from my soul always stop me."
