Chapter 202: Fear Voyage 52

Obviously, these were just simple words of comfort. Compared with the words used by the speakers who were lobbying and giving speeches every moment in the starship to boost morale, these words were not even as passionate as before.

Besides, no matter who it is, no one would deliberately say something unpleasant at this time. This kind of comfort should be very common.

I just don't know why, but the student who was suffering from a mental breakdown could be soothed and calmed down so easily.

There was even a ridiculous kind of certainty and trust that was rapidly occupying his mind.

It was as if whatever Yuan Yuxue said would become an established fact.

It was as if he was not comforting or encouraging, but making promises.

—Since he said you will not die, then you will definitely not die.

The student was still looking at him in a daze, and when he raised his eyes, a faint red color extended under his eyelids.

He was very young among the group of people sent to Yuan Yuxue to "study". That was why he could not hide his thoughts and temper, and always revealed his inappropriate personal emotions.

At this moment, his eyes were wide open, as if he had forgotten to blink, and he was stunned. A lot of mist soon appeared in his dry eyes. When he closed his eyes, he saw some kind of crystal liquid dripping from them.

"I know."

He choked a little and said, "Teacher Yuan, I know—"

Whether it was his thoughts or his sentences, they were all a little confused at this time. But he was gritting his teeth slightly at this moment, and his red eyes exuded a sense of dependence and trust.

"I believe you..."

In the face of an increasingly dark and hopeless future, Yuan Yuxue is the only fulcrum that can support his sanity.

The young student uttered a low, hoarse "Thank you" from between his teeth.

The experiment that day did not go on because there were too many people who were distracted. Even a slow-witted robot like Yuan Yuxue could see the fear hidden under their calm appearance.

In fact, at this point, there was no point in continuing the research. So Yuan Yuxue simply gave them a holiday and let them go back to rest.

Those students seemed to have just come to their senses.

The psychological pressure they had been under during this period was too great. As a result, they were a little bit at a loss when they finally reacted, like a puppy that was being chased away and about to stray, or like a frightened bird, and they apologized desperately to Yuan Yuxue in panic, "I'm sorry, Teacher Yuan. We won't make the same mistake again. Please don't let us leave—"

"It's not because you made any mistakes. It's normal to have mistakes in experiments." Yuan Yuxue looked at them calmly.

There is not much change in his expression now.

Indeed, I am not angry.

But when Yuan Yuxue was about to continue speaking, she saw the distraught looks of the people in front of her, and it was as if her last tense nerve was about to melt at this moment.

He paused as he was about to say something.

At this time, Jie Zhouyan happened to enter the laboratory to wait for him because Yuan Yuxue announced the disbandment in advance. Yuan Yuxue also sat beside him, leaned slightly over, leaned on Jie Zhouyan, and told them calmly, "Because I also need to rest."
