Three days later, on a bright afternoon, a group of us gathered again at a dessert shop.

"Strange, you say, isn't it strange? It stands to reason that we can't find any "Z" professors, but why can't we even find Alpha Technologies? You can't say this company was established in a day, right? The dwarf put down the cup in his hand.

"yes, I can't find any clues about it at all. It's like a company with a barrier, it's hard to detect. "I followed the gnome's words.

"It's been so long, and the result is still the same. I didn't find much here. Arthur looked at the newspaper in his hand, "There is no news in the newspaper, it is just the propaganda of some scientific research society." ”

"What? Scientific research society? Where is it held? "I found that since the last lecture by Professor Wu, I have developed a strong interest in scientific research.

"Smart technology or something. It seems to be in what AEF building. ”

"Okay, you don't want to study any science and technology research societies. You said that there is such a possibility, it is simply a joke made by the 'queen' of this world, you take a good look at Xiaoyu. "Xiaoyu didn't pay attention to our conversation at all, just thinking about how to eat the big cake in front of him." Look at her, there's a hint of a 'queen' there. ”

A lot of things have happened lately that have made my mind messy. It's hard for a person to think calmly, and I wanted everyone to think about what good ideas we had together, but I'm afraid it's very difficult to see the way it is.

"Let's think in a different direction. In fact, if we make that egg-like thing like the 'queen', can we travel through time on our own? ”

"Char, I know what you want to say, part of the reason why you went to China University of Science and Technology to be admitted to China University of Science and Technology is because of this, right? But that's so impractical. It's almost impossible with today's technology. "The gnome's words undoubtedly broke a plate of cold water for me.

"I'm just a proposal, you should all know that the real purpose of my admission to China University of Science and Technology is just to find a professor faster." I quibbled with some annoyance.

"Alright, alright, you don't have to fight anymore. The main thing is, what exactly do we do now?" Arthur was kind enough to persuade him.

None of us spoke, and even if we wanted to, we didn't know what to say.

"What!! Light rain!!! How can you eat all the cakes by yourself!! The dwarf looked at Xiaoyu angrily.

Xiaoyu didn't speak, just blinked at us.

"Whew, I... Thought you... If I'm not hungry, I'll just... Eaten. ”

I looked at Xiaoyu, she had been a lot more cheerful in the past six months, and finally spoke. Although he still stutters a little, he can fully express what he thinks, which can be regarded as an improvement.

The dwarf then shouted, "Light rain!! Do you know how expensive this cake is!! I didn't eat a bite!! ”

I looked at the swept plates and the red-faced dwarf, and shook my head helplessly, "Okay, Xiaoyu is still young, what do you and the child care about." ”

Since I bought a lot of pineapple bread with Yan Xiaoxue before, I finally finished eating it as if I was desperate, but I vomited for a whole day. I had no interest in these breads and cakes, and I lost my appetite when I saw them.

"Waiter..., take it again... Two and... The same as before... of cakes. Xiaoyu waved her little hand and said to the waiter who was making the table.

Then he took out his wallet from his schoolbag and said, "Woo, that, today... I pay for it..."

"Xiaoyu, you're really sensible, in fact, I just thought it was not good for you to eat so much sweet things as a child. Let me do it anyway. "The attitude of the dwarf is truly a big change.

I looked at them, and from the bottom of my heart I was angry and funny.

But when I think about it, we didn't find any clues. My heart suddenly became irritable again.

The waiter walked towards us with a cake in one hand.

The cake is surrounded by seasonal fruits. Put some chocolate sauce on the side.

Well, at least I can eat some fruit. (As long as it's not a pineapple.) )

"Light rain!! You've eaten a whole cake!! Why are you still eating!! The dwarf took the plate from Xiaoyu's hand.

"You adult, why do you still take children's food." Arthur put down the newspaper in his hand and helped Xiaoyu get the plate back.

Watching a few of them arguing over a piece of cake felt like a return to normal life. Suddenly, a large piece of cake flew out of the plate and landed on the newspaper on the table.

"Look at you, aren't you just a piece of cake? What is there to fight about. "I thought it wasn't for the pineapple bread I had eaten for a few days. Both of these chocolate cakes are mine.

I picked up the cake from the newspaper. Suddenly, I felt my head start hurting again. The cake in his hand slipped to the ground again.

What's wrong with me. It's been a few days since the last chess shop. I glanced at the newspaper on the table.

"What !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I shouted loudly, Arthur, Xiaoyu, and the gnomes all stopped arguing and looked at me.

"W-what the hell is going on?" I said to myself.

"What's the matter, Char, do you have a headache? Do you want to go back and rest?" Arthur asked, looking at me unmistakably.

"yes, Char, we're just joking, I don't take Xiaoyu's cake anymore. You're not going to be angry, are you?" The gnome put down the plate in his hand.

"No... No, look here. I pointed with my right hand to the newspaper on the table.

"Newspapers? What's wrong? It won't be to inform you that you have been admitted to China University of Science and Technology, right? ”

The gnome joked as he looked at the newspaper I was pointing to. All of a sudden, the smile on his face disappeared and was replaced by a shocked expression.

"What's wrong with you, what's wrong with the newspaper, why can't I read it?" Arthur looked at me and the dwarf quizzically.

Xiaoyu ate the chocolate cake that the dwarf had just put down.

"Arthur, what did you just say?" I folded the newspaper in half and placed it in front of her.

"The Scientific Research Society will be held on April 20, 2021 at the AEF Building. Organizer - AEF Corporation. What's the matter, isn't that what I said earlier? You wouldn't be so interested in it, would you? Arthur said as he took a sip of black tea.

"Didn't you notice? Organizers?" I specially put the organizer in these words very seriously.

"AEF? What do you mean? This... It's unlikely, right? "Arthur seemed to understand what I meant.

“AEF! Isn't that the abbreviation for Alpha's initials?! "I feel like we're going to find this company.

"But all this is just our speculation, and AEF is not necessarily the alpha technology company we are looking for." Arthur still didn't quite believe my conjectures.

"Either way, it's a good clue. Let's take a good look at this AEF company. The gnome stared at the news in the newspaper.

Xiaoyu has finished eating the cake on the plate again.

"Light rain!! Why are you still eating cake at such an important time!! And it's still mine!! ”

The dessert shop was bustling again after a tense atmosphere.

Outside the window, a gust of wind suddenly blew, rolled up several leaves, swirled in the air, and slammed them into the opposite tree.

I clutched my hands tightly and looked at the fallen leaves outside the window, my heart surging: Alpha Technologies, it's time for us to take a look at what you look like behind the veil.
