"Really?" Donnie, Sammy, and Jones stood up at the same time, their surprises and doubts palpable.

Karl nodded heavily, "Of course, I wouldn't mistake my brother's handwriting and imprints. ”

"I mean, is he really sure?Has he explained what the reason is, and who is behind the manipulation?" Although Donnie knew very well that Carl's brother should be a big man with the same strength and power, but after all, he didn't have an intuitive understanding of him, and his own life was at stake, so he couldn't help but ask again and again, and refused to believe it easily,

Carl threw the note in his hand to Donnie: "If he can say that, it means that he is more than 90% sure, uh, he only explained that this is not a normal dream in the field of illusion, but involves something higher, and does not point out who the specific manipulator is, I estimate that he is still investigating this matter, there is no conclusion for the time being, the only thing that can be determined is that the other party is not as strong as we feared, so, we pretend to forget about this matter, secretly observe and wait......"

Donnie looked at the note in his hand, the content on it was basically the same as what Carl said, of course, it was certainly not as verbose as Carl, and at the very end of the note, there was a mark in the shape of a black top hat, which looked ordinary, but had a unique atmosphere.

"But I don't think it's ......safe," Jones muttered to himself, but there was no other way for him to report to the academy in a hurry, putting himself in danger.

Sammy exhaled, reached out his right hand to his left shoulder, patted the ghost, who had been listless for the past few days, and then yawned and said vaguely, "Since Carl's brother has said so." Then let's not worry too much about this matter, it's sleepy. ”

Donnie's facial muscles twitched: "Sammy, you seem to be too relaxed, at least so far, the real cause of the incident and the manipulators behind it have not been investigated, how can we really let go of our worries?"

"So what? What can we do? We can only be careful ourselves......" Sammy was quite a bachelor, and took off his clothes and got into the bed.

Carl had a smile on his face and his eyes shining: "With my brother's attention, there is really nothing to be afraid of. If there were nightmares like that again. We must have a good time exploring and adventuring......"

Once again, he was eager to try.

Donnie couldn't help but say in his heart, he seemed to have a lot of confidence in his brother.

............

The next morning, the four people in dormitory 202 were busy washing up, and suddenly. They heard a knock on the door.

Donnie buttoned up his magic robe two or three times. Turned around and walked over. Pull open the door: "Please...... Mentor Robert?"

Standing outside the door was the dead-faced Mentor Robert, whose dark red needle-like light and the clear veins on his sallow face sent chills down Donnie's heart.

Why did he come here personally?

Although Robert's appearance was terrifying, his voice was mellow and gentle: "I just passed by the 'Tower of Life'. So by the way, I wonder if you would like to join the 'Heidler Branch of the Genetic Laboratory' and become an apprentice-level assistant?"

"What is the Heidler branch of the genetic laboratory? Is it the institute that Mr. Felipe has set up at the Academy?'Do you' include Donnie, me, Sammy, and Jones? Or are there just a few of them?, Mr. Robert, I really like to study genetic factors, and I have a good experience in this area......" Carl took the toothbrush, and the white foam burst out of his mouth, blurting out a barrage of questions and confessions.

At this time, the apprentices who were about to go to the teaching tower noticed the special appearance of Robert, and they stopped nearby, and looked at Donnie and the others in surprise and amazement, the Heidler branch of the genetic laboratory?

Downey, Sammy, and Jones were all speechless in shock, huddled in the doorway, staring at Robert with blank eyes, waiting for his answer.

"Because of the special conditions of the necromantic realm, it is convenient to conduct some extremely demanding experiments, so Mr. Felipe has been planning to establish the 'Genetic Laboratory Heidler Branch', and just a few days ago, the layout of the 'Laboratory Branch' was basically completed, and the staff began to be replenished, and I was the first arcanist to be selected by Mr. Felipe. Robert explained the cause and effect without hesitation, "Because of your questions in the open class, Mr. Felipe was a little impressed with you, so when he was recruiting apprentice-level assistants, he casually asked me, and I was very satisfied with your usual study efforts, and recommended you to him in a serious manner." ”

After a pause, he added: "This includes Carl, Downey and Jones. ”

Only then did the surrounding apprentices come to their senses and let out a gasp, it turned out that it was really the Heidler branch of the Genetic Laboratory! They were really studying by Mr. Felipe! Why were they chosen? Why was it not themselves?

Shocked, envious and jealous, many apprentices secretly regretted it, knowing that when Lu Dao was in public class that day, he also rushed to ask questions like Carl, leaving an impression on Mr. Felipe - Carl's special appearance made him famous in the "Tower of Life".

"Really?" Donnie and Jones asked again in disbelief, while Sammy lowered his head gloomily, after all, he was an apprentice in the direction of the soul, how could he be picked by the genetic laboratory.

Robert bowed his head slightly: "What is there to deceive you about this kind of thing?" Mr. Felipe has an impression of you because he admires the saying that an arcanist who doesn't ask what is wrong is not a qualified arcanist. ”

This is what Speaker Douglas once said, and all the apprentices present knew it, and now that they heard it again, regret was like a rat gnawing at their hearts, and they should not be bound by shyness, fear, and other emotions to ask questions!

"Thank you, thank you, Mentor Robert......" Donnie thanked excitedly, although there was a reason for Mr. Felipe's direct inquiry, but also thanks to the mentor's recommendation.

Jones stood there stunned, a dumb smile appeared on his face, as if he had entered his own "domain", this surprise came too suddenly, and he was completely unprepared!

Robert nodded, still expressionless: "It seems that you are all willing, then come to my office later, and I will take you to the 'laboratory branch' to report." ”

"Mentor Robert, what do we do as apprentice-level assistants? Assist in the production of experimental materials, make observation records of cultivated creatures, feed them, or directly help with observations, analyze with the knowledge of magic crystallography......" Carl saw that there were many people, and quietly put down the toothbrush and removed the foam from his mouth, he was an elegant gentleman who paid great attention to appearance and etiquette!

"Someone will tell you then. Robert's face moved, ignoring Carl's question of the rainstorm, and turned to leave.

"That's wonderful!" it wasn't until Robert was gone that Jones came to his senses and waved his arms vigorously.

............

When the elevator descended down the hall, it did not stop, but glowed with a pale light, connected to the coat of arms of the Mentor on Robert's chest, and then it continued to descend, and it was pitch black all around.

"Hmm, the lab is underground?" Carl looked to the left and right excitedly and curiously.

Donnie turned his head, as if he didn't recognize him, and although he looked quiet and gentle on the outside, like a quiet lake, he was actually like a kitten with teeth and claws.

Robert didn't squint, deaf to Carl's incessant voice.

After a while, the elevator stopped, the pale light curtain opened, and a silver-gray metal fusiform appeared in front of it, and Robert was the first to walk up.

"Do you have to sit on an underground shuttle?" Karl asked happily.

Neither Downey nor Jones had ever seen such an item, and were a little apprehensive, but fortunately there was an "introduction" from Carl next to him.

"Hmm. Robert nodded slightly.

The underground shuttle closed and walked quickly along the tunnel, and after two or three minutes, it slowly stopped, and on the left was a silver-white metal gate that was open to the side, cold and indifferent, very magnificent.

Robert took out a strange badge and shook it, and the door retreated to both sides, revealing a corridor with walls like an orange beecomb, which was so unique and shocking that even Carl subconsciously stopped talking.

After passing through this road quietly, there are roads in all directions, each with a different metal gate.

"I'll take you to the entry and exit badges first. Robert said briefly.

Before he could finish speaking, the metal gate on one of the roads opened, and Felipe walked out with his hands in the pockets of his long black trench coat.

"Good morning, Mr. Felipe!" Donnie and Jones greeted excitedly, and Karl, who was half a beat late, also saluted in the manner of a mentor.

Felipe glanced at them, his gaze lingering on everyone's face for a moment, and then said lightly: "I'm not a place to play here, I hope you remember." ”

"Yes, Mr. Felipe. As Donny and the others answered, Felipe had already walked past them on his own and walked to the other side.

Suddenly, he stopped, and without turning his head, he said, "Don't arrange for Carl to do experiments yet, let him get acquainted with the work of various research groups." ”

Donnie chuckled in his belly, does Carl's reputation as a "lab destroyer" worry even Mr. Felipe?

Carl pursed his lips, a look of grievance.

At this moment, Donnie's heart beat suddenly, as if something was calling him in the depths of the laboratory, or a little further underground.

Donnie looked at the wall next to him in amazement, not sure if it was his hallucination, because the sense of summoning was fleeting.

He looked at Carl and Jones, who were almost ignored by him, and saw that they were unaware, and his heart was even more puzzled, could it be that he was too worried that he hallucinated?

"It's not convenient to ask now, I'll discuss it when I get back to the dorm......" Donnie pressed nervously.

............

At night, the "Tower of Life" 202 dormitory.

Because neither Carl nor Jones felt that way, and neither did Sammy in class, Downey's feeling didn't get noticed, anyway, they believed that someone was paying attention behind it.

In the drowsiness, Donnie's heart beat faster again, and a little fire seemed to appear in the dark vision.

He snapped open his eyes and was stunned to find himself lying in front of a tombstone, with Sammy, Carl, and Jones nearby, looking around blankly. (To be continued......)
