Traditionally, there may be no supermarket in a mature rice community, but a bookstore that once existed as a social center for all kinds of people in the community is essential

However, in today's era of online reading and e-commerce, this tradition has gradually disappeared, and the small bookstores with different characteristics in most communities have long since closed.

All that survives is the modern and ornate decoration of the same cookie-cutter decoration, like a hotel lobby more than a bookstore, a large chain of book supermarkets that can provide air conditioning, drinks, CD previews, and book samples.

However, even such a book supermarket, Zhang Lisheng has never been to it once, and he finally found the right place by relying on the guidance of mobile phone navigation.

Pushing the door into the brightly lit 'Dupont Books' closest to his home, a pleasant cold air enveloped the young man entirely, making his hurried running body feel refreshed.

Standing by the door, he looked around at the people walking idly on the first floor of the book supermarket, and several young people in sweatshirts were in the CD sales area, wearing headphones and shaking their heads to listen to music;

Seven or eight families who seem to be parents with young children who want to cultivate their pleasure in reading are pacing slowly in the children's book area, occasionally picking up children's books with exaggerated animal patterns on the cover, making the children laugh quietly;

At the counter selling cold drinks and snacks, pairs of young people are lining up to enjoy their sweet time, and this 'exemplary' dating method is becoming more and more popular among young New Yorkers.

Feeling that no one had any abnormal performance, Zhang Lisheng shook his head. Walk briskly up the stairs.

But just as he was about to go upstairs, suddenly a young man who had been listening to music took off his headset, looked straight at him, and strode over.

Zhang Lisheng, who had a keen intuition, immediately noticed the young man's movements, and as the young man approached, a familiar feeling became stronger and stronger in his heart.

After carefully distinguishing the faintly familiar facial features, the young man showed a frightened expression on his face, greeted him, and asked in a low voice, "Is it you, professor?"

"I just tried to make a phone call, but I didn't expect you to actually come back. And they even recognized me. The young man spoke in an old-fashioned tone. The youthful voice admitted Zhang Lisheng's guess with a wry smile, and then asked bitterly: "How about Lisheng, I can be called a beautiful man when I was twenty-five years old, right?"

"Not only is he a beautiful man, but he also has a little more sense of humor. Zhang Lisheng replied with a smile. I couldn't help but say, "Hell, Professor." It really made you push down the mature 'stabilizer'. Judging by your personable appearance, Professor Afanie must have recovered her health, right?"

"Yes, Efanie is back to health. And they are also getting younger, at the cost of the lives of hundreds of patients and doctors at the New York Medical Research Association Hospital. Stephen bowed his head and was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head and waited for the student's face, and replied gloomily.

What he didn't expect was that Zhang Lisheng, who was far more ruthless than him, did not show the slightest color on his face at all, and said flatly: "Professor, the monkeys we usually use for experiments are not more than 30% different from humans from a biological point of view, and the orangutan is less than 10%.

This accident is actually no different from a failed experimental accident, you are too cautious now, I have inside information, the 'New York Medical Research Association Hospital' on the day of the incident was completely destroyed, and based on the surveillance video of the previous weeks, you were not in the hospital at all.

So you don't appear on the list of the dead, nor on the list of the missing, and the only trouble now is that you can't explain the way you appear in the university or in the lab.

But Hollywood's skilled makeup artists should be able to help you, and I recently visited the 'film capital of the world' and was amazed by the amazing skills of the special effects makeup artists there. ”

"I see, I thought I wasn't on the list because I was suspected by the police, yes, yes, the truth should be what you said is more reasonable.

Alas, now I finally understand the true meaning of the word 'weak heart'. Stephen was stunned for a moment, then let out a long sigh of relief.

After that, he recalled Zhang Lisheng's mention of 100 casualties just now, as if he had mistakenly dissected a frog in the laboratory, and said with a relaxed expression: "Child, although I guess you may have thought that the accident of the 'New York Medical Research Association Hospital' was caused by me."

But when you hear me admit it, your reaction is much calmer than I thought, and this attitude towards life is actually not advisable...

Of course, I was not qualified to say this, but I really didn't expect that there would be such a big accident that day..."

"Professor, it's not convenient to stay at the staircase to talk about these things" Seeing the tutor's expression of painful memories, Zhang Lisheng interrupted him, "I'll go buy some drinks and snacks, let's go to the resting place and talk slowly." ”

"Buy some drinks and snacks, talk slowly, oh, I admire you a little bit now, Li Sheng, you really seem so calm and unhurried at all times. Stephen was stunned for a moment and said with a wry smile, but did not stop the students from running to the counter selling drinks and snacks to buy coffee and cola and cakes of various flavors.

After buying snacks and drinks, the two walked to the lounge area on the second floor of the bookstore, sat on the sofa around a small coffee table, and began to continue his narration with a distraction, "Let's start from the beginning."

Li Sheng, the last time we met more than a month ago, after you left the 'Sea Shrimp B1 Island', I felt like I had been blessed by God, my mind suddenly opened up, and one after another wonderful inspirations and good ideas came out one after another, which can almost blow my head up.

In this way, it took less than ten days and more than 20 equations to optimize more than 20 equations to formulate a stabilizer that can prevent gene failure when the cells of white mice mutate.

The first monster rat almost appeared alive in my hands, and if I hadn't broken the connection between it and the 'Jindan' fragment in time, that monster would have broken free from the shackles of the test bench and eaten me.

After that trial, the success of the small mammalian stabilizer made me even more confident.

After knocking out the new experimental monkeys and sending them to the island, with enough materials, I began to formulate primate stabilizers, which occasionally had obstacles, but were quickly overcome, I don't remember how many days later, anyway, when the monkeys in the laboratory were sent to the third batch, I succeeded in deducing the 'stabilizer' suitable for primates.

It was a bigger adventure, but I managed to kill the monkey monster that had become like a chimpanzee, and it quickly turned to ashes without the golden pill as a 'source of energy'.

After the success of this experiment, there were still two fragments of 'Jindan' that did not decay into lime, and I wanted to immediately select a fragment with fuller particles and transplant it to Efanie immediately, but it suddenly occurred to me that according to the experiment of mice and monkeys, whether or not the transplantation of 'Jindan' fragments to Efanie was successful, I was almost certain to die.

In that case, it would be better to take a small risk and conduct a human transplant experiment to give myself a pill first, but I didn't expect that I would gain unexpected magical abilities and become a monster..."

As he spoke, a crazy smile appeared on the corner of Stephen's mouth, and he stretched out his left index finger and pointed at the empty Coke can that Zhang Lisheng had drunk, and in an instant, his hand turned red, surrounded by faint flames, and soon burned a big hole in the iron can, "Actually, I didn't know that I had obtained such a magical ability at first.

Because after transplanting the fragments of 'Jindan' to myself, except for the immediate recovery of my body, there was no abnormality at that time.

It wasn't until I transplanted the last fragment to the dying Ephanie, who had lost consciousness for too long and did not immediately regain her senses, but became very violent, turning into a magma giant and attacking me, inducing me to have the same abilities as her, and finally the two of us caused the terrible disaster of the 'New York Medical Research Association Hospital'.

Now Avena is sober, but she feels too guilty to forgive herself, and she almost breaks down. ”

"So you still need to slowly channel Professor Aiffany's emotions first," the story told by the tutor was not much different from Zhang Lisheng's conjecture, he grabbed the iron can with the hole on the table and looked at it, casually pinched it into a piece of scrap iron, and threw it into the trash can on the side of the table, "She is different from you, even if her emotions return to normal, it is impossible to appear in her previous identity again." ”

"Yes, no one can reasonably explain how a dying and comatose patient with multiple organ failures managed to miraculously recover from a fire. Stephen nodded.

"It's okay, my legal officer has a good idea, and he should be able to help Professor Afanie forge a new identity..."

"That's really good, but the most important thing now is to enlighten her emotions first, this matter is too secret, there is no way to ask a professional psychologist to do it, I can only take my time, I have found the hiding place, but the credit card on my body has turned into ashes, and now there is no way to reissue it..."

"This simple professor, I will withdraw tens of thousands of cash for you immediately. Zhang Lisheng understood the purpose of the tutor coming to find him, put the last piece of cake in his mouth, and took the slightly restless Stephen out of the bookstore, found a self-service bank nearby, and took out the cash in the ATM, "More than 70,000 meters should be enough for you to live for a while." ”

"Xie Lu, thank you, child.

I'll get to you as soon as Efhanie's condition improves. Putting stacks of large rice bills into the CD bag, Stephen looked left and right to see that no one was paying attention, said goodbye to Zhang Lisheng, and got into an alley on the side of the road, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
