"where have you been?"
Soon, Tan Yan's communicator rang, and Liang Xian's anxious voice came from the receiver.
"I went to the bathroom and will be back for the meeting soon." Tan Yan said simply.
Liang Xian on the other side was silent for a moment, then said: "Don't you know that you can't lie? The restroom has an infrared scanner, and there is no one in there now. It's because you disappeared in the restroom that triggered the alarm, and everyone is looking for you in a hurry."
Tan Yan didn't expect that he had tried to find a place where there were no people, but he was still discovered.
"Are you in front of the tombstone in Ping County?" Liang Xian asked.
"Um."
That was not Liang Xian's teleportation point, so he couldn't move directly to the tombstone. Liang Xian scratched his hair, "I guessed something, but I didn't hide it from you on purpose. I just didn't think it through myself."
He didn't say sorry, but his words contained an apology.
"I don't blame you," Tan Yan whispered as he sat on the ground leaning against the tombstone, "I just didn't expect it. I always thought I was an ordinary person. Anyone who encountered what I experienced could do better than me. But now, I suddenly found that there are some things that only I can do. Why?"
He finally understood that he was special, but he didn't know why he was special.
"I've taken the deer to the bathroom. There's no one else here. You can come back first. We can solve any problems together." Liang Xian said while holding the deer. "Minister Yu has suppressed the alarm. No one knows about it except you, Minister Yu, and Professor Qiao."
Hearing his voice, Tan Yan's flustered heart suddenly calmed down. He chuckled and said, "Xiao Lu also knows. He will be angry if you say that."
"Well, it's biting my hand now. Whenever something happens, it just gets angry and moves its hooves and mouth. I don't know if it's his own personality or who taught him. He's like a dog and not as docile as a deer at all." Liang Xian's voice came with disgust.
"hehe… "
Tan Yan's low laughter entered Liang Xian's ears through the receiver, and he felt his brain go numb: "Okay, stop biting! Bite your left hand instead, your right hand is made of metal, doesn't your tooth hurt?"
“It seems to hurt.”
The voice did not come from the receiver, but from the front. Liang Xian looked up and saw that Tan Yan had returned to him and was stroking Xiaolu's head soothingly.
He threw the deer to the ground and hugged Tan Yan tightly: "I'm sorry, I was uneasy and made you worried."
"I'm too stupid. I didn't notice anything." Tan Yan hugged Liang Xian back. "What did the consciousness attached to you want to say in the dark energy world?"
Liang Xian opened his mouth but still didn't answer.
"Isn't it appropriate for me to know now?" Tan Yan asked.
"Yes," Liang Xian nodded, "I didn't fully understand what he meant. At that time, I felt that I shouldn't let him continue talking, so I immediately regretted it and drove the consciousness out of my body."
"If you don't know something, I'm even less likely to understand it. Tell me when you've figured it out." Tan Yan looked at Liang Xian with trust.
Looking at his unreserved smile, Liang Xian felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
He didn't want his guess to be correct. How could Tan Yan be...
"Hey, you two! Why don't you go back to your room and talk about your relationship when you have free time? It's already 9:10, do you have any sense of time?" Cui Heyu said, standing in front of the bathroom door.
Tan Yan felt a little embarrassed. He was an introverted person and didn't like to show affection in front of outsiders. He quickly pushed Liang Xian away, but Liang Xian held him tightly and he couldn't push him away.
"You didn't want to hurt me, so you didn't use your consciousness and only used your body strength to push me. It seems that if we simply calculate physical fitness, mine should be better than yours." Liang Xian said with a smile.
"Let go quickly!" Cui Heyu gritted his teeth and said, "Do you still have some collective consciousness? Xiaolu, can you help me?"
The little deer, who was thrown away after being used by Liang Xian, said it was no problem and bit Liang Xian's butt hard!
"Ouch!" Liang Xian jumped up, covering his buttocks with his hands, and Tan Yan pushed him away.
"You bit too hard, you really broke it!" Liang Xian looked at the little deer in disbelief, "Who taught you to be so cunning? Qiao Zhixue?"
"Heh," Cui Heyu sneered, "Whoever you are with is the one who taught you quantum entanglement. Tan Yan is a gentleman. Then who influenced Xiaolu? Don't you have any idea?"
Liang Xian: “…”
The deer also didn't like Cui Heyu. After biting Liang Xian, it walked to the bathroom door with its head held high. Then it quickly stepped on Cui Heyu with quite a bit of force.
"Ouch!" Cui Heyu covered his feet and glared at Liang Xian, "See? I'm just like you."
The three of them and the deer returned to the conference room. Minister Yu looked at Liang Xian and Tan Yan and said in a deep voice, "Go back to your seats first. We'll talk about the punishment for being late later."
The meeting has already been partially completed. As everyone has already discussed this, this meeting is all about answering Lucas’ questions. The conversation process is basically as follows:
"My broken wrist has healed," Lucas showed everyone excitedly, "The healing ability of people with special powers will be enhanced!"
"Oh my God, unbelievable!" The members of the American exchange group exclaimed in shock.
"Oh." The research team and the special ability team looked calm.
Lucas: "My brain activity has reached 30%. The evolution of the brain is the source of superpowers!"
American exchange group: "Oh, my God! The activity level of normal people is only 10%!"
The Ability Team: "Oh, only 30."
Lucas: "Consciousness is the source of superpowers. The conjectures of quantum mechanics are fully reflected in superpowers. Consciousness can determine matter. Our discovery this time is enough to overturn the entire traditional physics and materialism!"
The American exchange group said: "This is truly a cross-century discovery, even greater than the mass-energy equation and the theory of relativity!"
Research Group + Special Ability Team: "Oh, we have just progressed to quantum mechanics."
They have gone beyond quantum mechanics and started studying string theory. When Lucas talked about those things, not only people with high IQs like Liang Xiancui and Yu, but even Tan Yan almost understood them. After all, he had studied quantum mechanics theory for a whole semester.
After Lucas expressed his opinion excitedly, Minister Yu said, "Then I'll need you to take care of the cooperation with your country."
The American delegation immediately changed their expressions, and the ambassador immediately said: "Minister Yu, your country has shown sincerity, so we will certainly consider it carefully. But you asked for our most advanced technology right away, we really..."
"What's the most advanced technology? What technology can be called advanced before human evolution?" Lucas said excitedly, "I applied to stay in China and join their research group and superpower group. I want to keep entering the 'void' to explore the mysterious universe. God, you don't understand the wonderful feeling of being broken down into the smallest particles. I feel that at that moment, I seem to feel a lot of things, but I can't grasp anything. Let me enter a few more times, I will definitely be able to understand more of the universe!"
American Ambassador: “…”
He is still bargaining. Can he stop dragging his feet
"I'm sorry, Dr. Lucas," Minister Yu showed a very official, fake political smile, "You are entering our country with weapons. In order to prove the danger of the 'Void', we have approved you to enter with weapons so that you can protect those who enter the 'Void'. But this entry time is limited, only today. I have prepared a plane for you, and it will take off on time at 10 am. You still have... half an hour. If it were me, I would pack my luggage now."
Exchange group: “…”
"Oh! No!" Lucas held his head and almost cried, "You can't do this to me, you can't chase me away, I want to see more!"
Minister Yu continued to smile: "Your country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs once said that 'voids' are just a problem for our country. It is really not worth exchanging your most advanced technology for it. In our country, I am just a staff member and I don't have any say. Using technology in exchange for help is our condition. If you don't agree, then we can only continue to fight alone."
American exchange group: “…”
"Of course, if you are willing to study the 'void', you can send people in. What if someone comes back?" Minister Yu smiled again.
Exchange group: “…”
Lucas cried, "Ambassador, please go back and convince the country immediately! We really can't leave them. I bet that no one from our country will come back alive after entering the 'void'. Even if they come back, they may not be the real person! I have been possessed before, I know it well!"
"Then I'll ask Dr. Lucas to speak for us." Minister Yu stood up and made a gesture to see the guests off. "The meeting is over. Everyone can go back and pack up. Your visas are about to expire."
On Chinese soil, even if the American exchange group brought weapons, they would not act rashly.
Minister Yu’s attitude was very tough. They had the upper hand and would never allow the other party to bargain.
The American exchange group had no choice but to forcibly send them away and return to their country to fight for their chance.
When the exchange group was here, the special ability team and the research group did not live in their secret base, but temporarily stayed in a temporary disguised military base in City B. Now that the exchange group has left, they have moved back to their position.
On the way, Minister Yu was in the same car with Liang Xian, Tan Yan, Qiao Zhixue and Xiaolu. He frowned and said, "Kid, why don't you change your habit of hiding things? What did you hide this time?"
Liang Xian said calmly: "It's nothing serious, don't worry too much, I will tell you when I can."
He was no longer the same as before. Although Liang Xian had a bit of a temper in the past, he still trusted the organization. Now he had his own concerns and was unwilling to tell Minister Yu and others what he had guessed.
"I won't harm you." Minister Yu said.
"I know," Liang Xian said, "but I'm not sure if this will harm our world. Once you put us on the scale against the world, you will choose to sacrifice us."
Minister Yu: "Don't you know how to do that? Why did you stay alone in the zombie world? Wasn't it to protect everyone?"
"Yes, I can sacrifice myself, but Tan Yan can't." Liang Xian looked at Minister Yu and said, "He has sacrificed too much for this world. Only this world owes him. I don't want him to sacrifice again because of an unfounded speculation! Before I think this matter through, no one can get a word out of me!"
His eyes were bloodshot, and there was a hint of determination in the look he gave his father.
"I know what your guess is," Qiao Zhixue suddenly spoke up, stopping the dispute between father and son, "Do you think that the 'Void' follows Tan Yan? When he was in Ping County, the 'Void' never left Ping County. And when he arrived in City B, the 'Void' appeared in City B. Do you two both suspect that the 'Void' was created because of Tan Yan's existence? As long as Tan Yan dies, the 'Void' will disappear?"
Liang Xian and Tan Yan paused at the same time. The words they had wanted to say but had not yet said were easily said by Qiao Zhixue.
"Looking at your performance, it's true." Qiao Zhixue sneered, "Oh, too childish."
"If our world is really affected so much by one person, it would be the end of the world!" Qiao Zhixue said while holding the little deer that he had pulled into his arms at some point. "Tan Yan does have some secrets, but his existence will never threaten the earth. I guarantee that with my IQ!"
The author has something to say: Author: Why is it IQ instead of personality
Qiao Zhixue (squinting): To show my intelligence more convincingly.
I'll record the first two bugs and will modify them after the next chapter is updated: First, the exchange student initially helped Qiu Qizhen to think of a way to exorcise the devil with the cross, but later he didn't even know that Qiu Qizhen's soul had left (my brain was not working well at the time); second, with the American exchange group present, how could they return to the secret base? This also needs to be changed.
