Chapter 287: The Past
Half an hour later, for the sake of the two people, the table was basically emptied, and only the table was full of leftovers.
The master smiled and began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, she now controls her weight, so she basically eats in strict accordance with the doctor's instructions, which is why Shao Chuan is here, or she won't bring cooking.
"Ah, it's really enjoyable, this is why you are here, I stained your light, otherwise your wife would not have taken a hand at all, and every day I eat broken hamburgers, I feel like I am about to become a hamburger."
Mike looked at the chair, his legs cocked comfortably.
Shao Chuan pouted, you don't want to be wiped at all, if it wasn't for his speed just now, it is estimated that he would not be able to eat a few pieces of meat, and he would have been eaten up by this old boy.
And seeing the other party like this, he didn't have the slightest doubt, if he hadn't come today, this old guy would definitely start snoring now, and this old man was more particular about enjoying life than anyone else.
Shao Chuan rested for a while, and saw that the old man next to him was already about to snore, so he hurriedly went over and patted the other party's shoulder.
"Teacher, don't sleep, I haven't talked about business yet."
Shao Chuan was a little helpless, so he fell asleep, and after chatting for more than 1 hour, he couldn't wait. He didn't come here to see him sleep.
Mike was woken up, the whole person was a little in a trance, and it took him a long time to react, looking at the depressed expression of his student, and suddenly smiled awkwardly. "You young people don't need it, if I'm 20 years younger, don't talk about this, I'll have nothing to do with it for two nights in a row."
Yes, yes, yes, you're the best, you're better than anyone else.
Shao Chuan's expression was helpless, he regretted it a little.
"Let's go, go to the study." Mike smiled, and led the student to the innermost room.
After Jinmen sat down, Mike suddenly looked at the other party with a mysterious expression, "If you have a cigarette, bring me one, your master and mother are in charge of it, there is no way." ”
Shao Chuan had long known that the other party would say this, so he took out a box of Huazi from his schoolbag, took out one from it and handed it to the other party.
He himself is a non-smoker, but he also knows the teacher's situation, so he secretly brings a box every time he comes.
But every time this kind of scene, he feels a little confused, how does this scene look like in China, if he ignores the other party's blonde head, he still thinks this is in a university office in China.
Mike took the cigarette, and if it was a treasure, he couldn't wait to take out his lighter and light it, and then let out a long breath, his expression intoxicated.
This reminded Shao Chuan of a movie he watched at the time, Resident Evil, in which a character was bitten by a zombie, and the last cigarette was simply a god, which made him feel a special feeling even if he didn't smoke.
But he didn't understand very much, what is there to smoke about this cigarette, isn't it just some nicotine in it, the more you smoke this thing, the more addictive it becomes, it's not good at all.
After Mike finished enjoying it, he looked at the student standing stupidly next to him, and frowned, why is this guy so blind.
Then he spread his hands, "Give me all the pack of cigarettes, what's the matter with one." ”
"Don't even think about it." Shao Chuan covered his pocket, it was good to be able to give one, but this old man was not satisfied.
He secretly took the cigarette, he had already reported it to his wife before he came, 1 is the limit, if he dares to give it all to the teacher, let alone eat next time, it is estimated that he will not even be able to enter this gate, and it is estimated that he will directly let Harry bite him. Although this big golden retriever is also in the same league as him.
Mike saw that the other party was not fooled at all, and immediately felt a little regretful. Then, like a treasure, he carefully smoked the remaining half of the cigarette slowly, this time it was much slower, maybe he didn't know when he smoked again, and he couldn't even wait to finish the last cigarette.
Shao Chuan waited for a long time, and saw that the old boy had been inking all the time, but he didn't rush it.
In fact, he knew in his heart that the teacher was not such a person, and the reason why he kept procrastinating was largely because he didn't want to face his own problems.
He knew that since he had come to ask him, he must have been fully prepared beforehand, and even had a considerable degree of certainty, or a certain judgment.
This time, I also wanted to ask the other party to help analyze it.
But Mike is old after all, let alone 20 years younger, even if time is going back 10 years, no, 8 years, he will jump up, pull his students into the laboratory, and communicate well, but he is already almost 80 years old, whether it is energy or anything else, he is no longer young.
Some people have said that for scholars, it is not enough to die at dawn, which is good, but not everyone thinks so.
For Mike, he just wanted to enjoy life for the rest of his life, spend time with his family, farm on the manor, and go to the forest to hunt a few fat hares.
Isn't this a bad life?
But from the moment he received the call from the other party, he had already reacted instinctively in his heart, so during the time Shao Chuan came, he was also thinking about whether to tell the other party. Countless times when I picked up the phone to dial, I stopped at the last step.
Dragged around until Shao Chuan appeared in front of him. It was only at this moment that he realized that as a scholar, he still wanted to explore in his bones.
So he's always looking for something to divert his attention from a dilemma.
Shao Chuan looked at his teacher quietly and did not speak.
Mike thought about it and let out a long sigh of helplessness.
"You know, in fact, we have already studied the results of parallel worlds before."
This sentence was like a depth charge, and suddenly Shao Chuan couldn't keep calm anymore, and his face was full of shock.
"What do you mean? Didn't you say that the project had been stopped for funding reasons? ”
Shao Chuan suddenly stopped when he said this, as if he had thought of something.
Mike nodded, this time with a very serious expression.
"In fact, at the beginning, because of the amount of money spent and the delay in the results, our team was notified to stop." Speaking of which, Mike seemed to be recalling something, and his emotions were a little difficult to control.
After a while, he quieted down and continued, "Originally, everything was going to end, but there was one member who had to make a name for himself. ”
"Actually, we weren't reconciled, but that's the way it happened, so on the last day, we all left the lab one after another, leaving only that person alone."
"But something strange happened, in the middle of the night, all of us suddenly got a text message on our phones, saying that I had found the gate, and if I hadn't come back in the morning, please continue my path." Speaking of this, Mike looked confused, and his mind unconsciously remembered what happened back then.
The night of 15 years ago.
Mike was already lying down and getting ready for bed, and the project was going to stop tomorrow, so he decided to let himself relax and go to the university in a few days to teach, so as not to let his knowledge be buried.
Not long after he lay in bed, just about to fall asleep, his mobile phone suddenly rang, and it was a reminder from a text message.
Who would message him at such a late hour? Even with a damn ad, this point will not appear again.
Mike didn't want to pay attention to it, but the ghost got out of bed and took his phone to look at it. I was a little surprised.
"Dear friend, the door has been found, haha, now I'm going to try it, if I don't come back in the morning, don't look for me again, you must continue my footsteps and continue to move forward, this is simply a major discovery in human history, Thai pants."
After reading the text message, Mike felt as if there was something wrong with his nerves, and it was possible that the other party couldn't accept the call to stop the laboratory and hallucinated.
However, he was still a little worried about the other party, and then dialed the phone.
The phone rang for a long time, no one answered, he felt that something was wrong, and then called again.
This time, after a few moments, the phone was finally connected. There was a cacophony inside, as if the wind was heard in the air.
This made Mike extremely curious, whether the other party was still on the plane on the big night.
"Jerry, are you there? I heard a reply. ”
But no matter how Mike called the other party, there was no sound on the other side of the phone, and the wind lasted for less than 1 minute and suddenly hung up, and when he called, the other side could not be connected.
This makes Mike feel that something is wrong, and quickly puts on his clothes and drives to the lab, and when he gets downstairs, the lab is still lit.
What he didn't understand the most was that the door of the laboratory was locked from the inside, as if it was locked backwards, and it couldn't be opened from the outside.
He shouted for a long time, but there was no response from inside, which made him even more suspect that something was wrong.
Then he called the police.
While waiting for the police, he called other colleagues, and after a while, the police and several other colleagues arrived at the scene.
The police also tried for a long time, but found that it could not be opened at all, and then there was no way to let the firefighters come, take the ladder to enter through the window, and open it inside, so that everyone could enter.
As soon as they entered the door, everyone was stunned, and the originally tightly arranged room was in a mess.
There was chaos everywhere, as if there was some kind of fight going on here.
However, after the police investigated, it was clear that there were no traces of human fights here, and it was more like it was caused by something interference, such as the wind.
These make everyone even more puzzled, the windows are closed, how can the house be like this even if it is windy. It doesn't make sense.
And there was no one inside, there was no Jerry at all.
At this time, several members communicated with each other, and then they realized that everyone had received a text message with the same content.
It's just that as long as Mike calls himself, he thinks about it now, and it is estimated that the wind heard on the phone should be here.
But what about the Jerrys? It's impossible for a big living person at the end of the end to say that he can't see it, and this is still a closed space. That is, no one can open it from the outside.
