Hu Yuli had a wry smile on his face: "We did report the theft of laboratory drugs, but it was the staff who took advantage of the chaos. We did not realize the seriousness of the situation at first and focused on searching for drugs - and the facts proved , this direction is completely wrong.”

"real or fake?"

Off the stage, Zhang Yingying accidentally twisted her wound and grinned again. But she is not so easy to believe Quantum Company's words. On the one hand, it is out of trust in its own intelligence channels, on the other hand, it is distrust of Quantum Company's consistent practices.

She communicated with Susan in a low voice: "This group of people has always been aloof. They believe that they have the Burner and the dark blue platform in their hands. They have always ignored us, but today they knocked their heads on the ground. They must be deceitful."

Susan nodded, then shook her head: "It depends on what the president says."

Hu Yuli's explanation was definitely unconvincing, and the audience was filled with doubts, which made the business tycoon break into a sweat and gradually became overwhelmed.

At this time, Ouyang Chen tapped the table. The sound was not loud, but the whole venue quickly fell silent.

"Everyone, since we are not convinced by Quantum Company's explanation, don't waste time on it. If you want to get the answer, go find it yourself. Since Quantum Company hopes that the association will intervene in this matter and help them deal with the problem of the spread of the virus, it should reflect Show corresponding sincerity.”

"Natural, natural." Hu Yuli agreed first, no matter what the request was.

Ouyang Chen paid attention to the audience and spoke calmly: "The activities of the association are not mandatory, and organizing activities requires the consent of more than half of the members. Now, let me tell you the reasons for supporting the activities. It's very simple. According to reliable information, this head' The 'Human-Faced Spider' is the first batch of living experimental materials transported from that 'portal'."

Not many people in the audience reacted:

"Portal, which portal?"

On the other hand, Hu Yuli's pupils instantly dilated, and his whole body pushed upwards, but his buttocks just left the position. Ouyang Chen's cold eyes swept over him, killing his sudden impulse and making him collapse on his seat, unable to get up again.

It was also at this moment that the participants finally digested the most critical information. Amidst the sudden roar, someone jumped up and asked loudly:

"Ouyang, which portal are you talking about?"

Ouyang Chen adjusted the frame again: "The origin of the aberrations, the starting point of a new era. Thanks to Quantum Company, the 'portal' that we have always suspected but have not confirmed its existence can finally be locked."

"Where, where?"

"It can be determined that it is in the central and southern part of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean. The association hopes that Quantum Company can provide specific coordinates and information. Of course, this requires further negotiation. Now, let's get back to the topic."

Ouyang Chen looked around, scanning everyone's face: "There are martial artists, blood wizards, priests and monks here. In the new era, we will become awakened people together. In the past 50 years, our power has grown. Our abilities are getting stronger, which includes our own efforts, but there is also the elusive 'X factor'.

"Why, since 2059, has the original insurmountable limit of power suddenly been released? Why has the qualitative gap between us and normal people really widened? Why do legendary abilities appear in us one by one? What have we paid? ?What has been gained? Can we equate effort and gain? Do we really control our own destiny, or is there some unknown god controlling everything

"We are eager to know this secret and have been searching for its roots, but we have never found the answer. But now, the path that seemed to be cut off before suddenly cleared the obstacles and was placed in front of us again. I don't want to miss this opportunity, I think, So does everyone.”

The venue was filled with rumbles of drums, but Ouyang Chen's sentences remained straight and calm:

“Initially, I gave the codename for this association’s activities ‘Breaking the Net’. The invisible devil has spun a big net and is trying to prey on this metropolis. We need to cut it off.

"But now, I want to call it a 'signpost'. After decades of exploration, we have found nothing. Until the emergence of format theory, which opened the first page of human beings' pursuit of individual evolution, this is a theory for ordinary people. We As an awakened person, if you fall behind, you will inevitably feel a little embarrassed.

"As awakened ones, our pace must be accelerated. We should be leaders. We need to seize every opportunity, make brave adventures, and then tell others what the road ahead is like and where humans should go. —The signpost for moving forward is here with us, and the glory will always be in our hands!"

The sound of the train arriving at the station woke Ronan up.

Once the withdrawal reaction starts, it is not easy to get over. In spite of the crazy class system and the shifting course arrangement, at the end of the day, Ronan's five major courses were changed into five classrooms, across four teaching buildings, and traveled between the north and south campuses.

In the past, when he was in good physical condition, he didn't realize that after today's run, Ronan was already in a daze. Sitting on the school tram, he fell into a semi-drowsy state.

He patted his cheeks to cheer up and got out of the car slowly.

It is now 3:40 pm, and it is time for club activities. Ronan’s destination is the Precision Electronics Interest Club, where technical masters from various electronic manufacturing companies have been invited to provide maintenance teaching for many years. It is also a paradise for DIY enthusiasts.

The purpose of Ronan's visit was naturally to repair the damaged imitation paper soft screen. The habitual tools were damaged, and the feeling of being restricted everywhere was even worse than the withdrawal reaction.

However, his luck seemed to have run out in the morning's "psychic painting". The Precision Electronics Interest Club has made its maintenance teaching business take off and the business is booming. Today, we invited a certain super expert in the industry, and the vast business hall was packed with repairers, enthusiasts, and help seekers.

He had been squeezing in the crowd for twenty minutes, and he had just gotten the reservation number.

Finally, Ronan couldn't bear the crowds in the hall and hid outside to breathe fresh air. However, dizziness and overly keen senses bothered him all the time.

The afternoon sun pierced the shade of the street trees and fell on the side of Ronan's face. For the first time, he felt that the autumn sun was so hot that half of his cheeks were almost burning, and he could even smell the stench of roasted flesh.

There is no doubt that this is an illusion.

Ronan stopped by the roadside, standing like a nail, his lips squirming slightly, the sixteen-character mantra entered his heart from his mouth, and flowed from his throat like an icy spring, gradually washing away and drowning the confused and distracting thoughts.

Just as he got better, a shadow crossed his half-closed eyes.

Ronan suddenly opened his eyes, which surprised the person waving his hand. He took half a step back and lowered his elbow to block the gap between the two of them.

After finishing the action, the man realized that he was overreacting and smiled awkwardly: "Classmate, are you okay?"
