The people present listened quietly to the narration of the dean, and the earth seemed to appear tens of millions of years, hundreds of millions of years ago, and even the earth in a primitive state of desolation, under the gaze of various primitive animals and plants, one by one "passages" Although there is reproductive isolation between them and the indigenous inhabitants of the earth, if they adapt to the environment of the earth, take root and reproduce, evolve from generation to generation or are eliminated by nature, and survive until now, maybe they will eventually form some kind of species that everyone is familiar with today, maybe it is a cat or dog that is happy on their knees, maybe it is a bird flying in the sky, maybe it is a disgusting arthropod insect in the rainforest......

Although this was just a speculation that the head of the house had no evidence and could not find it, it still made the imagination of those present.

The head of the academy continued: "Even if we don't consider the creatures on the other side of the 'channel', only consider the influence of the source energy itself, objectively speaking, it greatly promotes the mutation and evolution of species, making every awakened creature stronger, including humans, so I say that if you look at it from the transcendent perspective of the history of the earth, the appearance of the 'channel' is the blessing and baptism of some invisible force on the earth every once in a while." ”

The hairs on Jiang Chanji's whole body stood up, and he seemed to have become a witness and witness of some kind of historical event.

Except for the sect master wearing a mask, everyone present was shocked.

The head of the academy carefully picked up the tray, "Maybe this woman is the distant ancestor of one of us, when the bloodline of the former transcendents has been diluted from generation to generation, there will always be some people who will retain a little more bloodline, maybe it is hidden in the garbage fragments that occupy 90% of the DNA, and when the source energy reappears, these garbage fragments that have always been considered useless will be activated, and they will be the first to awaken." ”

"In fact, recently we've started to extract DNA from the hair of children under the age of 10 in schools, and then store it, and if any of them awaken to transcendence years later, we compare the DNA before and after to see what happens...... But it can only be said that the work started too late, otherwise if we had obtained the skull earlier, the work would have started much earlier, and maybe the results would have been obtained by now. The dean said regretfully.

Lu Weijing nodded, this work was carried out by them, the school doctors, and only added a physical examination process for young students, that is, to pull out a hair with hair follicles and save it.

"Within two years...... If you're optimistic, you should be able to get results within a year. Lu Weijing said solemnly: "This matter must be kept confidential, even if the results of the study are obtained, we will not disclose a word to the public, because if we can judge which child is more likely to awaken through DNA, we are worried that it will lead to a new round of artificial fertility intervention - extract the fetal DNA during the mother's pregnancy for analysis, and if it is a constitution that is not easy to awaken, it will be aborted...... Believe me, there will definitely be a mad organization that will do this. ”

The possibility described by Mr. Lu even caused a physiological nausea when the boy Jiang Chanji heard it, because this kind of thing is really possible.

The dean of the academy pulled back to the topic, "We are in it, the so-called transcendent perspective is just wishful thinking after all, no matter how much benefit the 'channel' will bring, as long as it may lead to a large number of casualties for ordinary people, we cannot accept it, human life cannot be regarded as a string of numbers." The head of the academy sighed, "What's more, this is no longer an ignorant ancient time, and it is not a good thing for the 'passage' to divide human beings in modern society, so we can only decline this generous gift." ”

The sect master nodded, "I understand, thank you for your advice." ”

Jiang Chanji coughed dryly, he was so absorbed in listening to it just now that he forgot about Zhao Man, although there was no room for him to interject on this occasion, but Zhao Man's matter had to be said by him.

"Do you believe it now?" he said, turning to Number 15, pointing to the skull in the tray, "Why don't you touch it?" I don't think you will fully believe it if you don't touch it yourself, so don't pretend to be polite." ”

Number 15 glared at him, but was not provoked by him, walked over cheekily, and said, "It's rude." ”

As she spoke, she saw that the head of the academy did not stop her, and slowly put her hand on the skull, engrossed in feeling it.

The one with a fever on his face was the sect master wearing a mask, because the head of the academy had shown extraordinary patience and sincerity to No. 15, and it was out of trust in Jiang Chanji that he was open and honest, otherwise it would never be possible to reveal these extremely confidential matters to them, even if there was still a little bit of shame, they should go down the slope, right?

As the Head of the House had said, the remnants of the source energy in the skull were extremely weak, but 15 did feel it.

Number 15 silently withdrew his hand.

"Well, I still have reservations, but ...... It's me who lost. She said.

The head of the academy looked at Jiang Chanji, what she meant: It's all here, you should always say what the important thing is, right?

"That's right, No. 15 and Zhao Man believe that the collider caused the emergence of the 'channel', so Zhao Man may now go to destroy the collider. Jiang Chanji said.

"Huh?"

The head of the academy and Lu Weijing's faces suddenly changed drastically, they knew better than anyone how much manpower and material resources the collider had spent, how many favors they owed, and how many relationships they had trusted, and the collider itself was particularly fragile, and if it was heavily damaged, I am afraid it would be difficult to recover for a long time.

"Where is she now?" asked the headmaster.

"I don't know, Zhao Man's ability ...... She should now be stealthy and stealthy near the collider, intending to wait for an opportunity to do it. He replied.

Zhao Man's ability is very tricky, as long as she doesn't take the initiative to show up, it will be difficult for others to find her out.

"It started because of me, and I will take responsibility for it. No. 15 Mu Ran said, "Please give me a chance to make amends." ”

The Sect Master finally spoke to her, "How are you going to remedy it?"

"Zhao Man can't hear the outside world in her stealth state, but she will listen to me, so please give me a blank piece of paper, I will write on the white paper that she should not do it, she should stop when she sees me holding this blank paper. Number 15 explained.

The head of the academy and the sect master exchanged glances, and now it seems that there is no other way, Zhao Man will not listen to others, so he can only let the 15th try.

There was a ready-made pen and paper in the office, and with their acquiescence, No. 15 took the pen and wrote a few big words on the paper: Manman, don't do it, I have something to say.

While she was writing, Lu Weijing took out her mobile phone, planning to contact the teachers who were ambushed outside the building, and to find more transcendent teachers to stop Zhao Man together.

"Don't go. "If she sees you around, she won't show up, and she might think I'm being coerced by you." ”

Lu Weijing asked the dean with his eyes, the dean frowned and shook his head slightly, so Lu Weijing put down the phone again.

Jiang Chanji found a blind spot and said, "There are two colliders, one above ground and one underground, which one are you going to go to?" Does Zhao Man know that there is one under construction underground?"

She didn't know it before, but anything could happen in one day. 15 muttered.

The head of the academy thought about it again and again, and made up his mind and said: "Then please go to the underground collider, the one being built underground is more important, and the one that has been built above is only a verification machine, if it is destroyed...... It's still painful, but it's barely a loss we can afford. ”

"I'm sorry!" the sect master bowed nearly 90 degrees to the head of the academy, "If you suffer any losses due to your unscrupulous subordinates, you will definitely compensate you in full!"

The Sect Master and the Academy Master are both the heads of large organizations and have equal status, although the Sect Master often refers to himself as "Zaixia", but that is only a humble title, and now the Sect Master is forced to bow to the Academy Master because of the trouble caused by the 15th, which may make the Sect Master feel quite uncomfortable.

"Things may not be so bad that way, we can only trust the 15th for the time being. "The head of the house's face is not very good-looking.

Jiang Chanji raised his hand, "That...... I've dealt with Zhao Man, and since I'm going underground on the 15th, I want to go to the collider on the ground to take a look, and if Zhao Man sees me, maybe I'll give me a face for the sake of carrying her out of the depression......"

Now, even if there is a glimmer of possibility, it cannot be easily let go, the head of the academy agreed.

"Number 15, help me write a few words on a piece of paper, she should be able to recognize your handwriting, right?" he said.

"Write what?"

"Just write it...... Partners in justice. ”

It was really a bit ashamed for him to say such a second word in front of the sect master and the head of the academy.

No. 15 was stunned, and she didn't know why Jiang Chanji wrote these words.

Zhao Man considers herself a righteous partner, but she hasn't said these words to anyone before, except in the virtual world of Squid Whiskers.

On the 15th, he wrote these five words on the paper as required, "If there is nothing else, please send someone to take me there, otherwise it may be too late." ”

"Follow me. ”

Lu Weijing greeted her, and No. 15 followed her out of the office.

"I know the way, just go by yourself, head of the house, please say hello to the teachers in the laboratory, don't let them stop me. Jiang Chanji said to the head of the academy, nodded to the sect master, and left the office.

The head of the academy let No. 15 go underground because the underground collider was more important and could not afford to be missed, but Zhao Man would not necessarily know that there was another collider underground, and Jiang Chanji felt that Zhao Man was not very smart, and it was more likely to destroy the collider in the laboratory.

He hurried to the door of the laboratory, and the teacher at the reception desk had already received a call from the head of the college and let him go straight in.

The head of the academy did not explain the reason for his coming on the phone, but only asked the teachers in the laboratory to provide him with all conveniences, because once the teachers learned the news, they would not behave too naturally, and if they were detected by Zhao Man, they might start in advance.

In the evening, most of the teachers in the lab were off work, and basically the first floor was still brightly lit, including the control room of the collider.

Jiang Chanji asked the teacher at the reception desk for the route and came to the control room of the collider.

To his surprise, there were several teachers busy in the control room, and all kinds of display screens were on, not like they were just on duty.

The teachers received a notice from the head of the house and looked at him curiously, they had never received such an instruction before, so they should not ask more, just cooperate with him unilaterally.

"Teachers, are you still working? haven't you left work?" he asked, puzzled.

"We're just getting started, and we're busy until about 12 o'clock at night, and then we're going to rest in the next room until dawn. One of the teachers pointed to a nearby room where the teachers could take a makeshift break.

Seeing that he was puzzled, she added: "When the school was built, it did not take into account the need to build a collider, so the reserved circuit carrying capacity was not enough, so this collider could only run at night, and if it was run during the day, the voltage of the entire campus would fluctuate violently...... The new collider, which is under construction, is a circuit that is brought in directly from the outside, and is not affected by this. ”

He suddenly realized that no wonder these teachers were so busy at night.

"In addition, if the collider is activated at night, you can enjoy the preferential electricity price of the trough...... Don't laugh! The collider consumes so much power, and the electricity bill saved in a year is not a small number!" the teacher said seriously.

Jiang Chanji walked around the control room, looked east and west, and asked again, "Is there anything tonight...... Anything is exceptional. ”

"No, everything is fine. ”

Several other teachers also nodded in agreement, and they watched him hold up the words "righteous partner" and dangle back and forth, which was very funny.

In Jiang Chanji's mind, if you want to destroy the collider, the most convenient thing is to destroy the control room, right?

However, Zhao Man has not appeared in the control room so far, she probably didn't expect the teachers to be at work so late, she is not sure if there are any transcendents among these teachers, so she does not dare to show up rashly.

This is also a blessing in misfortune, if the teachers are working during the day, Zhao Man comes here and sees the empty control room, maybe it will be over.

The teachers would work here until late at night, but he felt that Zhao Man was unlikely to have the patience to stay until late at night.

At that moment, he noticed a series of numbers on a display that kept jumping, like some kind of countdown.

"Teacher, what are you doing here?" he asked, pointing to the countdown.

"Oh, that's the crash countdown, after all, it's a working collider, isn't the goal to hit? When the countdown is zero, it means that the particle beam has reached the maximum speed designed by the system, as for whether it can hit the source energy ...... I had to resign myself to fate......" the teacher explained.

"I understand, then the teachers are busy, I won't bother for now, go for a walk elsewhere. ”

Jiang Chanji took his leave and temporarily withdrew from the control room.
