Chapter 14: The Scientists
Everyone was surprised by the old man's words, and what was more attractive than his question was the color of his skin. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the moment he raised his head, everyone finally saw his face, what kind of face it was. The old man's skin could not be described as simple white, it was the color of a dead man, and there was no trace of blood at all. Even Song Xiaoxue looked a little dark standing next to him, let alone the bronzed professor.
"I, I. Nie Fei said hesitantly, of course, he never expected that this old man would actually call his name. He glanced back at everyone, and everyone shook their heads silently, indicating that they didn't know.
"Okay, then you can come with me. The old man said weakly, and the man was slowly walking towards the door.
"What about us?" asked Mr. Yang at a moment's notice.
"You?" the old man was stunned for a moment, then he turned his head again and began to examine the rest of the people carefully. He turned his head slowly, and there was a stiffness like a corpse, making one wonder if his neck would break suddenly.
He squinted, his gaze slowly swept over the crowd, and everyone he looked at felt as if they had been exposed to unknown radiation, and they were uncomfortable. So you can see that when his gaze sweeps, Mr. Yang pretends not to care about his hair, the fat man pulls the folds of clothes on his stomach intentionally or unintentionally, and even the professor carefully tidies up his sloppy pajamas and nightcaps. Nie Kai thought it was funny, but when the old man's gaze swept over his face, he swallowed the smile that floated to the corner of his mouth.
"Come on, too. The old man finally spoke, turned his head again, and walked in on his own.
Everyone exhaled lightly, and everyone looked at each other with tears and laughter, and hurriedly and cautiously followed the strange old man. Behind him, the heavy iron door actually closed by itself, and with a bang, Nie Kai was frightened.
A group of people followed the old man without saying a word, and they found that the old man not only turned his head strangely, but also walked in a strange way, his steps were fast and slow, left and right, awkward like a baby who had just learned to walk, or a rusty old machine. Nie Kai stared at the old man for a while, and actually felt that his steps were also messed up, he quickly looked away, looked at the woods in the distance, and tried to find the correct way to walk.
"Who is this old man?" Nie Kai finally found his rhythm, so he cautiously asked the fat man next to him.
The fat man shook his head vigorously, Nie Kai then looked at Mr Yang again, Mr Yang also spread his hands, and everyone looked at the professor together.
"What do you see me doing? I come here every day, but this old man is the first time I've seen him. The professor clasped his hands to his lips and whispered.
Everyone widened their eyes and looked at the old man in front of them.
"I am the director of the research center. The old man said coldly, still limping away, without even looking back.
Everyone gasped, and Nie Kai was surprised that the old man's hearing was so good. Song Xiaoxue was surprised that the reason why she got up so early was nothing more than to avoid the crazy researchers in the research center, but now, she has not yet arrived at the research center, and she has actually planted it in the hands of the director of the research center.
Their surprise was understandable, but there was one person who was 10 times more shocked than they were at this time. That person was none other than a professor. Why was the professor shocked? Because he was the only one who had heard of this strange director.
The director of the research center, in the professor's mind, is a legendary figure. As far as the professor knows, none of the current staff of the research center have seen the director. Because, it is said that this director has disappeared for a full 40 years. So all they know is that there is a director of the research center, and this director is said to be an old friend of Dean Martin, who came to Yog at the same time as Martin 50 years ago. As we all know, Dean Martin is over 100 years old, and when you think about it, this director is definitely not young.
So where has the director been in the past 40 years? In fact, he has not been anywhere. It is said that there are two floors in the basement of the Yoger Research Center, but the lower level is not accessible to ordinary researchers, and the director is said to live in it. The legendary director lived in the basement for 40 years, and for 40 years, he never left there. If it weren't for the fact that every morning when the staff went to deliver food, they would have received the empty bowl from the previous day, and everyone would have thought that the old man had died in the basement.
And now, this scientist who has been hiding in the basement for 40 years is actually walking in front of them! How could the professor not be surprised, in fact, so surprised that he thought he had seen a ghost.
Why did the director suddenly appear? Was it just for Nie Kai's physical examination? What is Nie Kai's origin? Could it be that Nie Kai has some secrets hidden in his body? The professor suddenly felt that his head was not enough, and he stared at the old man and Nie Kai in front of him, as if he wanted to dig something out of their bodies.
The professor was very entangled, and Nie Kai was also very entangled, but he didn't think as much as the professor, in fact, all he was worried about was, why did this old man walk so fast? Nie Kai couldn't believe his eyes, the old man looked very pinched at every step, but he walked surprisingly fast, as if he was about to burst out the strength that had been accumulated for decades. In order to keep up with him, Nie Kai had to trot, and as soon as he ran up, he realized that the others were already running.
