A night of panic, a night of tension, a night of ups and downs of thought, a night of recuperation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The next day, the sun jumped out of the east, the sky was bright, and Orlando, who had been silent all night, made up his mind. He led the group to form the "Re-Study" team, determined to help everyone understand Sophia's past when she was a student. And the first stop is the old house in Orlando. Under the escort of Yang and Da Mengmeng, even though the whole world is looking for Orlando now, the old professor still returned to the old mansion peacefully.

In the old mansion, the professor took off his torn and unseemly honoured gown, and rummaged through the cabinets to find a set of old white clothes that had been washed and washed. This outfit is really old, shaking, dust-free, hot, and as smooth as new. When Orlando changed his clothes and walked out of the locker room, everyone seemed to see the old British pedants of the seventies and eighties of the last century.

Gentlemanly, elegant, but academically inherently insane and paranoid.

"It's not bad, is it?" Orlando twisted his waist and looked left and right: "It seems that I am in good shape, and I was worried that I would not be able to button it just now." Then he touched his head and smiled: "But unfortunately, the hair fell out too much, and I couldn't restore the hairstyle at that time." Then he looked at Su Muhua and asked expectantly, "Madam, what do you think this outfit looks like?"

"Sloppy, not good. Su Muhua was not polite at all: "However, there is an inexplicable sense of familiarity." ”

"That's right, because that's what I was wearing!" Orlando came to an old wooden table, removed the tightly covered tablecloth with a bang, and touched the table with nostalgia: "It was August 1978, and Zade brought her here and made her my student. I was sitting here, dressed in this outfit, and I met Sophia for the first time. ”

"In 1978?" According to the memories of the Void, Su Muqiong disappeared into the Void Rift in April 1976, which means that when Orlando met her, it was already two years after her disappearance. Su Muhua couldn't help but ask, "How did she look at the time?"

"No, not hurt, but she looked thin, very thin, as if she could fall if a gust of wind blew. ”

Jonathan couldn't help but be silent, his vague memory of his mother being extremely emaciated and extremely thin. Who knows what happened to her after being sucked away by the spatial rift, Jonathan thought about it and couldn't help but eagerly say, "Professor, what kind of person was she at that time?"

What kind of person? This question made the old professor scratch his head: "She...... How so...... She is complex and unique. I've done research all my life, I've taught all my life, I've seen all kinds of scholars -- but I've never met anyone like her, never. She is simple, chaotic, sluggish, detached, empty, and mysterious, and she is a person who is difficult to describe, even difficult to understand. ”

"Wait-sluggish?" Yang Qi couldn't bear it anymore: "Let's discuss and change the adjective to 'cute'?"

"I'm sorry for the poor wording, but it's hard for me to describe her state because she doesn't look like a human at all. She is very sluggish in things that she is not interested in, and can even be said to lack the intelligence that a normal person should have. Especially in the first year, it was heartbreaking. But in what interests her, there is no doubt about it—" Orlando said categorically, without hesitation, "the word 'genius' could not touch her at all." ”

"So exaggerated?"

"It's no exaggeration, she is like a scientific spirit descending on the earth with the will of the great universe!"

In the following time, Orlando and the group officially started the pursuit journey. He was like a tour guide, taking everyone step by step to browse the places Su Muqiong had visited. One of the most important is the school she attended, and where Orlando once taught, Cambridge University.

Gently, I'm gone,

As I came gently.

I beckoned gently,

Be the clouds of the western heavens.

The University of Cambridge is a real prestigious old school, and walking here is always reminiscent of Hogwarts from the Harry Potter series. The deep and solemn architectural style and the comfortable and open courtyard design are all filled with a strong historical, academic and artistic atmosphere. No matter how urgent the time is, even if the whole of Britain is now under full martial law, even if countless people are trying their best to track their tracks, everyone still slows down and wanders in the soft waves under Cambridge.

"This is my office at the time. Orlando opened a door, looked at the office that had changed a lot, and sighed: "In the first week, she didn't join the class, but studied here. The reason is funny, because her level of knowledge at the time was simply not enough to get into a normal college class. I could see that her level of education was not very high at that time, especially her English, and she had to learn it from scratch thoroughly. ”

Hearing this, Qi Meng subconsciously glanced at someone Yang, a man surnamed Yang whose English level was notoriously poor in the unit. And Yang Qi grinned and gave her a thumbs up with a hearty face - I'm proud of my English scumbag!

Then Orlando sighed, "But do you know that this girl, who is probably the lowest student in the history of Cambridge, became a veritable Dr. Sophia after only two years?" Her dissertation, word for word. Her project has become a global sensation. Even now, the project she led still has countless high-end scholars joining it, and they are working hard to follow the path she has blazed. Any small achievement will be tightly sealed by various countries that have the ability to participate in it, and become a national top secret. In my opinion, that project was simply the grandest scientific march of the end of the twentieth century!"

"So powerful?" Yang Qi suddenly became energetic: "Such a powerful project, we should have heard of it, right?"

"Of course you've heard of it. Orlando proudly, proudly, and emotionally said a name: "It's the Human Genome Mapping Project." ”

"Human Genome Mapping Project?!" Jonathan was instantly shocked, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and raised his voice: "That major scientific project, known as the 'Lunar Landing Program of Life Sciences', turned out to be my mother's project?!" Johnson is not a person who makes a fuss, but this matter really does not belong to the "little monster".

"Yes, she did take the lead. Orlando was proud and smiling: "To be precise, the human genome map is part of one of her grander, larger, more incredible plans." Its proportion, just like the nautical chart drawn by Columbus before he went to sea, can only be regarded as a certain step in the 'preparation', and a more magnificent expedition is still waiting for her ahead. ”

Hearing this, Yang Qi had already begun to inhale exaggeratedly.

"It was the winter of 1985, a day of heavy snowfall. She came to me and brought her idea. She didn't reveal much at the time, just casually, but as far as I could understand, it scared me. I realized that she had already reached a place I couldn't touch and saw a world very different from mine. I couldn't understand her perspective, but I was convinced that the scenery ahead of her must be amazing. It's a pity ......" Orlando was silent for a moment, shook his head and let out a long sigh, and then cheered up and said, "Come on, I'll show you around." ”

"Okay, let's go. Su Muhua looked at the Cambridge campus outside the window, and her eyes swelled with a sense of familiarity: "I want to take a good look at the place where she lived and studied." ”

Under the intervention of the Zade family, Su Muqiong did not leave any archives and records at Cambridge University that could be consulted. Even if I searched the entire Cambridge Archives, I couldn't find a single transcript with her name on it, and I couldn't find a single photo of her. But no matter how much energy the Zad family has and how carefully they cleanse it, there is one trace they can't remove, and that is people's memories of her.

"This is the library where she has been for a long time, and she has almost all of the books in it. ”

"This is her dorm, and she has a roommate with whom she is said not to be very close. ”

"It's the corridor she inevitably passes through when she gets to and from class, and she doesn't waste her time on young people's activities, it's two o'clock every day. ”

The banks of the river were green meadows, and the trees were not so tall, just a grove of trees, where she liked to read quietly. ”

Orlando spent a morning taking everyone through one place of memory after another. With a finger in his hand, he can tell an allusion and tell a few small stories. The old professor's memories came flooding back, and he couldn't stop talking at all, but Yang Qi's expression became more and more strange.

She abruptly interrupted Orlando's recollections: "You wait a minute, you wait a little - how do you know this stuff?"

The old professor was stunned for a moment, and his face changed slightly: "What are you talking about, I don't understand." ”

"Hehe, what are you pretending!" Yang Qi had a salty and wet expression: "Do you have a good relationship with your roommates, what you like to eat, where you sit, where you walk, where you read, you actually have a clear grasp of these? Old professor, you are really interested in your students~~"

"I-I didn't!"

"Well, you old pervert who secretly stalks beautiful women, and you dare to quibble? You take a mirror to look at your face, and it is obvious that there is something treacherous!" Slapped Orlando on the shoulder, Yang Qi's face was full of ill intentions: "Dare to covet my aunt? You really ate the heart of a bear and a leopard! Say, have you ever had any ambiguous little interaction with my aunt? Have you ever behaved out of the ordinary? Aren't Westerners very open-minded, did they take advantage of my aunt's cuteness to trick her into seeing a goldfish lick a lollipop? Hurry up and confess your guilt, you old soul!"

"Look, look at the goldfish, and lick the lollipop?!" Jonathan was about to go berserk when he heard this, and instantly rushed up and grabbed Orlando by the collar: "Say, is it true, is it true!"

"No, no, really not!" Orlando kept struggling, but his momentum was very weak, and after introspecting on his conscience for a long time, Orlando whispered: "I have that idea at most...... Besides, I don't have a wife......"

"It's not okay to have ideas, and it's not okay to have no wife!

When Yang Qi and the others were making a fuss, Qi Meng walked to Su Muhua's side and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong, Auntie, did you remember something?"

"It's a little bit. Su Muhua raised his hand and touched the big tree beside him, and there was a familiar trace on the trunk. Fingertips scratched the mark little by little, and Su Muhua confirmed: "I think, this time it will be easier than the last time." ”
