A few hours later, on the highway.

"Quanshan County Health Center was established in the 1980s. It is close to the mountainous area of the county seat and the conditions are very backward. Three years ago, a fire broke out late at night due to aging circuits, causing heavy casualties." A woman in a white medical coat on the passenger seat held the materials and raised her eyebrows. "The health center was then completely abandoned. There was a legend that it was haunted in the local area."

In order to avoid attracting the attention of the locals, they changed to a smaller car after entering the county town. Bai Sheng arrogantly crossed his long legs and took up two seats in the back seat. Shen Zhuo was squeezed against the window by him, and he crossed his arms and pretended to be asleep, pretending not to see.

"Shui Ronghua, the coroner of the Shenhai City Supervision Department, is three years older than me." Chen Miao introduced her attentively while driving the car himself, then pointed a thumb at the back seat: "Brother Bai."

Bai Sheng stroked his chin thoughtfully, looking up and down at the female coroner: "I found that nepotism is quite serious in your Supervisory Office. Supervisor Shen is a senior, the coroner is a senior, and the second action team leader is a junior... Are your civil service positions still based on academic hereditary system?"

Shui Shihua had her long curly hair tied up behind her head, looking mature, charming and capable. She smiled and said, "Our central research institute originally engaged in genetic engineering. Five years ago, when the evolution occurred, all the meteorites in the country were sent to our school, causing many students to evolve suddenly overnight, even Yue Yang and Fu Chen—"

Shen Zhuo moved slightly.

Shui Ronghua paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "… He is also a fellow student in our research institute. We are all related, so we can recommend each other for jobs."

Bai Sheng smiled and raised his chin towards the metal collar around Shui Ronghua's neck: "Beauty, are you A-level?"

"I'm not a combat type, I'm just weak at A." Shui Ronghua blinked, "Remember to go first if we encounter danger later. I'll transfer the field allowance to you, okay handsome?"

Bai Sheng said modestly: "Oh, how can I be so embarrassed? If an outstanding student of our New Age Men's Morality Class hides behind a young lady when he encounters danger, he will be dragged out and physically castrated. By the way, young lady, please give me a referral opportunity. I bet that your Supervisor Shen is only thinking about kicking me out of the car now. I have been unable to find a job and have been relying on my parents for a long time..."

At this time, the car stopped and an inspector ran down from the car in front and knocked on the window: "Team leader, we're here!"

There are undulating mountains and forests ahead, and a charred and dilapidated building stands in the wilderness. The two upper floors were burned down to the point that only the concrete frame remains, and only the ground half floor has its shape left, barely recognizable as the county town style of the 1980s.

Shen Zhuo stood up, pushed the door and got out of the car, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he turned around, supported the car door with one hand, and looked at Bai Sheng steadily:

"Our recruitment requirements are that full-time employees must have a master's degree in science, engineering, literature, and history, and can be biochemistry, environmental science, and materials science. However, we do not accept graduates of philosophy. Sorry, Mr. Bai."

The air was still.

Bai Sheng looked incredulous, as if he couldn't believe his ears. He took a deep breath and said solemnly:

“‘Philosophy is the pursuit of knowledge in its broadest and most general form. It is the mother of all sciences.’ — Albert Einstein, 1905.”

Shen Zhuo replied politely: "Philosophy is dead. In 2010, Stephen Hawking."
