Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 317: Chatting genius

Views:

After doing all the inspections, Shang Jianyao waited in the lounge for a while, and saw the previous researcher named Liu Shiyan pushed the door in.

"We Mei Suo want to have a talk with you." Liu Shiyan paused and said again, "The talk is almost over."

"So early?" Shang Jianyao looked surprised.

What is so early? Don't you want to leave now? Liu Shiyan couldn't keep up with his thoughts at all, and could only look at him with doubts.

Shang Jianyao stood up and said regretfully:

"I thought you guys would take care of lunch at noon.

"I haven't eaten in the cafeteria of an institute like yours, so I don't know how."

"..." Liu Shiyan finally decided not to respond.

Shang Jianyao looked around and said:

"I'll go to the bathroom first."

It's in the lounge.

This is a normal requirement, and it won't take too much time, Liu Shiyan said "um":

"I'll wait for you at the door."

Soon, Shang Jianyao came out of the bathroom and walked to Liu Shiyan's side.

Liu Shiyan led him through the closed doors to an office with bright but soft fluorescent lights.

In the office sat a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses. His hair was dark and thick, slightly messy, and he was wearing the same white coat as the researchers here.

"Sit down." The middle-aged man pointed to the back chair opposite the table, "I'm Mei Shou'an, the person in charge of the 'C-14' project."

"Hello." Shang Jianyao responded politely.

When he was seated, Mei Shouan supported the edge of the table with his elbows, clasped his hands together and said:

"Let me briefly introduce, the 'C-14' project is mainly related to the Awakened. You have experienced so many things on the surface, and you should know what an Awakened is."

Seeing Shang Jian Yao just smiled and looked at himself, neither shaking his head nor nodding, Mei Shouan continued:

"We believe that awakening is actually a special aberration of the human body, which will inevitably cause a certain degree of change in a certain part, which should be checked out by scientific means.

"Do you know what I mean?"

Shang Jianyao looked at him with a smile, and didn't mean to back down.

But he still didn't speak.

Mei Shouan kept his posture unchanged, smiled and said:

"You don't have to be stressed.

"The company's attitude towards distortion and awakening is positive and tolerant, unlike many forces in many places, who think that this goes against nature and is a remnant of the apocalypse, which needs to be cleared away before the arrival of the new world.

"For the Awakened, the company has always given higher treatment and arranged better and more important work. It just requires them to cooperate with us on a regular basis to do some experiments, and these experiments are carefully designed and will not make the Awakened feel affected. humiliation and harm."

After he finished speaking, Shang Jianyao frowned:

"I don't quite understand what you said.

"What's the use of telling me this?"

Mei Shou'an's dark brown eyes behind the glass lens looked at Shang Jianyao quietly, and looked at him for nearly ten seconds.

Finally, he showed a slight smile and said:

"Today's follow-up observations are here, but there will be more in half a year."

Shang Jianyao pointed to himself:

"Then can I go?"

"Yeah." Mei Shouan nodded.

Shang Jianyao stood up and waved with a smile on his face:

"goodbye."

After watching him leave, Mei Shouan wrote at the end of a document:

"It is recommended to transfer to a secret watch list."

After making the annotation, Mei Shouan turned on his computer, logged in to the corresponding account, and prepared to submit this matter. After all, the follow-up needs the cooperation of other departments.

At this time, he found that there was an extra letter in his e-mail.

And this came from a powerful figure he didn't dare to neglect.

Mei Shou'an clicked on the email and found that there was only a very simple sentence on it:

"Completely stop the follow-up and observation of the 'C-14' project No. 32 volunteer."

"This..." Mei Shouan frowned and cast his eyes on the document at hand suspiciously.

After leaving the research area on the 3rd floor of the underground building, Shang Jianyao raised his hands and picked up his ears.

It didn't take long for him to take out a heavy mass of cotton from each side.

"Unfortunately, I don't understand lip language, and I don't know what he said..." Shang Jianyao muttered to himself and stepped into the elevator.

The two balls of cotton were stuffed back into his pocket.

The elevator went up for a long time and finally reached the 647th floor, while Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen were all looking through the documents in Room 14 and waiting.

"How is it? What examinations have been done, and what questions have you been asked?" Jiang Baimian, who was paralyzed on the back chair, flexed his waist and bounced straight up.

Shang Jianyao described his experience while closing the door of the "Old Tune Group".

After listening to the general conversation between him and Liu Shiyan, Jiang Baimian burst out laughing:

"You'll be beaten like this!"

"He can't beat me." Shang Jianyao was unreasonable but strong.

Jiang Baimian said "Bah":

"And how do you know that yours is different from others, do you have a reference?"

As an employee of the Security Department who has been on many field trips, although she has no experience in this area, she has long been cultivated to be thick-skinned, and she is the type who can make jokes with those veterans.

Of course, when encountering Bai Chen, who is a practical school, she still often doesn't know how to answer the other party's words, or she is stabbed in the weak underbelly and has to forcibly change the topic.

Just as he said the words "reference object", Jiang Baimian's heart suddenly froze.

Sure enough, Shang Jianyao turned his attention to Long Yuehong.

Long Yuehong didn't know whether to refute or get angry.

Fortunately, Jiang Baimian stopped Shang Jianyao's subsequent words in time:

"Have you seen Mei Shou'an?"

"Well, I chatted with him for a while after the inspection." Shang Jianyao nodded.

"What did we talk about?" Jiang Baimian asked.

"I don't know." Shang Jianyao shook his head calmly.

This answer left both Long Yuehong and Bai Chen at a loss.

Jiang Baimian asked angrily and hilariously:

"Didn't you say we talked for a while?"

Shang Jianyao took out the two balls of cotton:

"Before I went to see him, I found a chance to plug my ears, and I couldn't hear what he said at all."

Long Yuehong was dumbfounded and asked curiously:

"You, why did you plug your ears?"

Shang Jianyao Zhengshen explained:

"Since he is the scientist who studies the mysteries of the human body and presides over the 'C-14' project, I can reasonably suspect that he is also an Awakened.

"By blocking my ears, I don't have to be afraid of the 'reasoning clown', and I won't simply be friends with him and tell him everything."

Jiang Baimian nodded slowly:

"Too."

She had to admit that Shang Jianyao's approach was a bit strange, but it really had a certain meaning.

At this time, Bai Chen was also a little curious:

"You blocked your ears, how did you communicate with him

"Didn't he find it?"

Shang Jianyao showed a bright smile like sunshine:

"Most of the time, I just don't listen. I think he's done saying 'I don't know what you mean by telling me this', and when he's almost done, he asks 'Can I go'."

Jiang Baimian imagined the scene of the chicken and duck talking at that time, and inexplicably found it very funny:

"You're a chatting genius!"

The old world entertainment materials and the original Jiang Xiaoyue related documents gave her a richer vocabulary.

Long Yuehong laughed twice:

"Aren't you afraid of missing key information

"Maybe you have a deep exchange, and he will say something valuable."

Shang Jianyao thought about it and said:

"I don't think he would have made that mistake as a scientist leading the 'C-14' project."

That's right... I know how to speak properly this time... Jiang Baimian just sighed with emotion, when he heard Shang Jianyao add:

"You can't always save others by yourself."

He said it facing Long Yuehong.

Long Yuehong felt insulted, and then saw Shang Jianyao eagerly asked:

"Are you trying to say 'you can insult my personality, but not my IQ, go, go out and fight'?"

Long Yuehong weighed it and decided to keep her mouth shut.

Jiang Baimian's eyes quietly rolled up, and he paced back and forth a few steps:

"I think the company may have suspected that you are an Awakener. After all, we have done too many things beyond the level of a normal four-person team, and you have also shown mental problems, which is in line with the characteristics of paying a price.

"After that, they're likely to make some secret observations on you, you have to pay attention.

"But, I think you can take this opportunity to expose the identity of the Awakened to the company. You have experienced so many things outside, and you should be very clear that the major forces support the Awakened, either explicitly or secretly, and the company does not It will treat you as experimental material, um, just keep other things secret."

"It's time to see the situation." Shang Jianyao obviously didn't care too much about whether the identity of the awakened person would be known to the company.

He returned to his place and flipped through the materials he had not read before.

When it was almost noon, Jiang Baimian turned on the computer and habitually checked his mailbox.

She immediately "huh":

"Vice Minister Xi Yu has sent us an email."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Baimian had already clicked on the email and said while reading:

"Part of the information about the Awakened, based on what we can understand with our current authority."

Hearing this sentence, Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen all stood up, or ran or walked behind Jiang Baimian, and looked at her computer screen together.

What shows up there is:

"According to the analysis of all the intelligence collected so far, the Awakened can be roughly divided into four levels:

"One is the 'Hall of the Stars', the second is the 'Sea of Origins', the third is the 'Spiritual Corridor', and the fourth is the 'New World'...

"The level of 'New World' is just our reasonable guess. At present, no one has actually seen the Awakened who entered the new world, but those strong people at the level of 'Spiritual Corridor' believe that there is such a door in the 'Spiritual Corridor'. Leading to a 'new world', and many sects claim that their leaders have entered the new world and serve the corresponding elders..."
