Chapter 217: The Researcher's Proof
The door opened with a "creak" sound.
Lomaria walked out of the bathroom in a white bathrobe. She sniffed her body as she walked. Although the aroma of the shower gel was tangy, she could still vaguely smell a trace of foul odor, and she didn't know if it was really or just an illusion.
Otherwise, wash it again.
After being annoyed, Romalia came up with the idea, but she immediately shook her head and threw the thought out of her mind.
She had been cleaned more than twenty times, and it was clean enough, and the stench she smelled at this time must be an illusion. It's better to suppress the cleanliness habit appropriately. Besides, Yelena must be waiting for a shower to stop delaying herself.
With that in mind, Lomaria looked up into the room, but she didn't notice Elena's figure.
Is it in the toilet?
Romania turned to look at the toilet, which was on the same side as the bathroom.
"Yelena!"
She didn't get a response, so she simply opened the door to the toilet. But it was as empty as the rest of the world.
The master bedroom, bathroom, toilet, there are only these three parts in this room. Since there is no sign of Elena in these three places, there is only one remaining fact.
She's out of the house, at this time, is there something important?
Thinking about it, Lomaria turned to look at the window, and her eyes swept over the desk under the window, noticing some words written on a piece of paper pressed against a cup. It looks like this should be a sticky note left by Elena before she left the house.
So, Romania walked over briskly and removed the paperweight from the cup, picked up the message paper and read it carefully:
Teacher Romania, I have thought carefully about what you said, and I have to admit that as you said, there are indeed many immature places in our "research center".
However, the enthusiasm and dedication of everyone is what I have seen with my own eyes for a long time, and we may not understand which direction and how to go, but the belief that we should continue on the road of researchers is genuine!
Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to blame you, if anyone needs to blame, it must be me. Until I was awakened by you today, I have not had the consciousness to be the representative of the "Institute of Inquiry". I got it wrong from the very beginning, and what should be shown to you is not my results, but the will of our collective.
Not only you, but I also want to apologize to everyone who has placed their hopes in me.
I'm sorry!
I want to do something at least to try to regain your impression. Please don't worry about me, I'll be back tomorrow morning at the latest.
After reading the message, Lomaria couldn't help frowning and sighed in her heart: What a stubborn child.
However, what exactly did she say she was going to do? In short, it must be something that would save her impression of the "Institute of Inquiry."
Rosea pondered. Although Yelena's message said not to worry about her, it is not in line with her character to really do nothing like this.
If you ask yourself, Romalia's impression of the "Institute of Inquiry" boils down to that they don't do what researchers are really supposed to do. If Elena had accurately guessed what this meant, what she was going to do must be what the researcher should have done, so that she could prove it to Romania.
Then the next thing to think about is what the researcher should do in the current situation.
What is it?
...... And what?
............ And what?
"No, it won't!"
Suddenly, Rosea let out a sudden exclamation, and with a wave of her hand, she changed into her outgoing gear with a few clicks, and then turned and walked quickly to the door.
"That fool!"
One of the research materials that Lomaria needed this time was a four-leaf lily, which grew on a cliff. It swayed in the howling winds of the mountain stream at night, but its roots were very tenacious and firmly grasped the rock wall.
Directly above it, Elena was crouching on the edge of a cliff looking down. The mountain stream was full of fog, and it was impossible to see clearly during the day, let alone at night, except for the occasional "whooshing" sound of running water to suggest that there must be a river below Elena.
However, after all, the height is here, even if you fall and just fall into the river, I am afraid that you will be killed immediately. If you don't have the aura of the top protagonist, I'm afraid it will be a miracle of miracles if you don't die or something.
Thinking about it, Elena couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva out of fear. Now, the voice that echoed in her heart was full of "impossible".
With this feeling of recalling the afternoon when Lomaria had examined Domu's feces, Elena felt a shock. Because, that kind of behavior must be "impossible" for the cleanliness of Romalia, but she didn't even hesitate to do it for the sake of research.
What a great act it is to turn the "impossible" into a "possible"! For the sake of research, one can cross the karmic obstacles of one's heart without hesitation, and this is the researcher of Lomaria Gorenville.
If you want such a person to agree, you can only go beyond the "impossible" like her.
With this in mind, Elena made up her final decision. She left the cliff and materialized the thick hemp rope, then found a conical rock on the cliff and bolted one end of the rope to it, then tied the other end to her waist.
After doing this, Elena returned to the edge of the cliff. She looked down at the mountain stream again, and her heart immediately thumped, no matter how many times she looked at something terrible, it was still terrifying.
However, the purpose of my coming here must be to prove my will by overcoming it.
Thinking like this, Elena took a deep breath and pulled the rope with both hands, and poked her foot down the cliff little by little. Little by little, she climbed down the cliff along the rope.
"Knock! knock!"
Hanging on the cliff, Elena could clearly hear her own pounding heartbeat. Fear made her hold on to the rope with both hands, and the tension made her palms bleed without feeling pain.
It's scary! I want to go back! But I can't!
Elena spent a long time battling the fear in her heart. She hovered over the cliff for about fifteen minutes before continuing to move downward.
Above the cliff, the noose at the other end of the rope slides up a little under the weight load.
However, Yelena is unaware of this potential danger and continues to move downwards, putting more load on the rope. She sped up as she got used to it, and finally came to the position of the four-leaf lily after ten minutes, only with a slight miscalculation.
Elena gripped the rope harder and harder with her right hand, then reached out with her left hand and reached out to the four-leaf lotus. The distance between the tips of her fingers and the herb was no more than a few centimeters, and it was usually just a matter of a hand, but for Yelena, who was hanging over the cliff at this time, it was as far away as the sky to the ground.
She cowered and reached out several times before she touched the four-leaf lotus, and the dialog box for collection finally popped up. However, Yelena didn't feel the excitement at all, she was only nervous inside.
Come on!
After cheering herself up, Elena reached out again, this time pressing the confirmation button in one go.
"Ugh. ”
With the effect sound that only Yelena could hear, the four-leaf lotus disappeared into a pale green light, and the dialog box popped up in front of her.
"Yes, I did it!"
Finally, Elena cried out in ecstasy, but it was at this moment that joy and sorrow arose. The noose on the cliff finally broke off the stone.
"Whew!"
The sound of the wind immediately poured into Yelena's ears, and her brain went blank for a moment, and then she immediately noticed the fact that she was missing.
In less than a second, and in less than a second, Elena saw the noose at the end of the rope fly out of the edge of the cliff.
What happens to you without a rope to pull you? you will keep falling, and then lose all your HP in an instant because of the slight fall from a high altitude, which is called "death".
I don't want to die!
Elena prayed aloud in her heart, begging for help.
Just at the last moment, the white and slender palm rushed out of the cliff and grabbed the rope, and Elena's body stopped falling in the air.
"Lo, Teacher Romania. ”
Looking at the owner who had saved her hand, Elena called out in a trance.
"Whew!" said Romania, clutching the rope on the edge of the cliff, relieved to see that Elena had not continued to fall. Immediately, she pulled the rope with all her might.
"I said, you can do something too!"
Hearing Roseia's reminder, Elena came back to her senses, responded loudly with a "yes", and then struggled to climb up on her own. And just like that, after a few minutes, Rosea finally pulled Yelena up.
Immediately, both of them were lying on the edge of the cliff in the shape of the word "big", panting from exhaustion and inner tension.
"I mean, you've got a bad head!" Romaria snapped as she adjusted her breathing.
"I'm sorry!" Elena replied with some guilt, and sat up, "But! I feel like I have to do something!
"Stupid! That's both subjective and objective. Objectively speaking, if you take one wrong step and you will die! Really, if it weren't for the danger to your life, I would have kicked you down myself in the afternoon!"
"I'm sorry!" Sensing her recklessness, Elena apologized again, "as if I had done something wrong again." I'm really sorry that you are worried about me!"
As she spoke, Elena got up on her knees and knocked her head to the ground at Romania.
"However, everyone at the 'Inquiry Institute' is not wrong! Everyone is very enthusiastic and serious, and I swear it is true! I can't stand seeing everyone suffer because of their confusion! Please, Teacher Romania, even if it's only for a while. Please guide you, we need your teaching!"
Listen to Yelena's heartfelt testimonials. Rosea sat up as well, and she turned her head to look at the edge of the cliff, the height she had seen from above in her mind.
"Even if there is a rope, but after all, it is this height, and it is really a shame that you can go down. With that, Romania looked back at Elena, "How did you do that?"
Hearing this, Elena straightened up and was a little embarrassed.
"That, I just thought I had to get it, so I went down. That's right!"
Yelena finally remembered the "four-leaf lotus" she had picked, and immediately materialized it and handed it to Romaria.
Looking at the good-looking four-leaf lotus, Lamaria smiled slightly.
"You've really changed my impression of your 'place of inquiry'. ”
"Really!"
"Well, you're a bunch of people who can do things like suicide without education. ”
"Eh!" Elena couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but Romania hadn't finished speaking.
"So, let me give you a little guidance. ”
Hearing this, Yelena showed a sluggish expression.
"Does that mean ......?"
"It's just temporary. If you can't satisfy me, I'll leave immediately. ”
"Hmm!" Elena nodded excitedly, "I, no, we'll do our best!"
Listening to Elena's words, Rolling Maria turned her head to look in the direction of Hatsuha City.
Sorry, Richard, it looks like I'm going to take one of the most excessive vacations I've ever taken.
