Hearing that the dean of the research institute was taken away by the consul, Yu Xingqiao's first thought was—could it be that the human consul was also controlled by Thrall
Jun Lv also frowned.
Laura's face was solemn, and she quickly asked, "Why did you take the dean away?"
The dean is just a pure scientist. Although he is very interested in the wild, he has never shown any ambitions except for research and investigation.
The doorman shook his head.
"I don't know about this, I'm just a janitor, how could those big shots tell me this?"
Laura paused, couldn't help but smiled and said: "You are always well-informed, I thought you knew something."
"Hey, in this world, you still can't know too much, or you might not even be able to keep your job."
The guard sighed, seeing her worried look, he still pointed out: "If you are really worried, go find Dr. Thorne, the day the dean was taken away, he chased him all the way outside the door, he probably knows something .”
"Dr. Thorne? Yes, thank you! Treat you to dinner another day."
Laura thanked the guard, and after completing the registration and security check, she entered the institute.
"Master, shall we go find Dr. Thorne?" Laura asked in a low voice at a blind spot where no one noticed.
After Jun Lu gave an affirmative answer, she continued to walk towards the research institute building.
Laura is a frequent visitor here, and she is very popular with people. She met many people who greeted her along the way. She greeted her all the way, and finally came to a laboratory on the seventh floor.
"Oh, Laura, you're alive!"
Just as he was about to knock on the door, the door opened. A woman in clothes and holding a folder was about to go out, and she was very surprised to see her.
"Fianna, long time no see." Laura smiled at her.
"It's been a long time!"
Fianna didn't go out either, and dragged her into the laboratory, asking her how to feel warm all the way.
"Before I heard the news that you died in the wild, I almost cried to death. Fortunately, you came back alive."
Fianna said.
It turned out that after Laura and his party did not come back beyond the agreed time, the research institute retrieved the driving records of the off-road vehicle—
It was a car allocated by the research institute. As long as it was not damaged, the research institute could retrieve the video at any time, and it was also convenient to record the geological environment in the field.
"We saw the scene where you encountered the monitor lizard, and we also saw you being abandoned, and the other two fleeing in a car. They were not human, and they just ran like that!"
Fianna murmured, and at the end she gloated a little, "But they don't have a good end either."
Laura was reminded of that rainy night by her, how desperate she was at that time, and how grateful she was after being rescued.
"Although there is an off-road vehicle, the two of them have insufficient experience and force. They accidentally broke into the wolf den and were killed by the wolves..."
Fianna didn't continue talking, but the rest of the words were self-explanatory.
Laura sighed a little, but at the same time felt lucky.
Not only was she rescued, she was also protected by Lan. Although she was hired as a nanny, compared with what she got, what she paid was nothing worth mentioning.
"Let's not talk about them." Laura said, "I came back alive from the wild by chance. These are the samples I collected and I want to hand them over to the dean."
"Ah... Dean, she..." Fianna showed a sad look.
"I know, Mr. Doorman has already told me." Laura patted her on the shoulder, "So can you take me to see Dr. Thorne? I am very worried about the dean and want to know the situation with him."
"It's okay..."
Fianna hesitated, "But because of the dean's affairs, he is in a bad mood and has a bad temper. He may not say anything to you, and may even scold you."
Laura said: "It doesn't matter, if I don't find out, I will be very disturbed."
Fianna nodded understandingly, and said, "Yes, you have always had a good relationship with the dean, so it's normal to be worried."
"In that case, I'll take you to meet him, but you can't blame me if you get scolded."
"Okay." Laura nodded solemnly.
So, the two went to a building deep in the institute together.
This side is heavily guarded. If there is no Fianna's key card, Laura will have no way to come in, let alone come in.
Yu Xingqiao hid in her pocket, lying on the edge, curiously looking at everything around her.
The scenery on the street outside was already enough to dazzle him, and it was the first time he had been to this kind of place in this research institute, so he felt that everything he saw felt fresh.
When going through the security check again, he was still a little worried that Zai Zai would be found out, after all, the inspection here was much stricter than that at the gate.
Then he saw the little boy melt into the shadows, nothing could be seen at all.
Yu Xingqiao had to sigh with emotion, the shadow skills are really against the sky in terms of concealment, and Zai Zai, who can always realize new skills by himself, is simply a genius among geniuses!
He really deserves to be his cub!
Yu Xingqiao only felt proud for a while, and while he was thinking wildly, Fianna had already brought Laura outside a laboratory.
This laboratory looks very high-end from the outside.
At this point, Fianna's authority is no longer enough.
When she came to the right side of the door, a camera appeared on the wall, scanning her, and after confirming her identity, a mechanical sound sounded:
"Ms. Fianna, may I help you?"
"I want to see Dr. Thorne."
"Sorry, you didn't register for an appointment."
Fianna did not give up, "Please tell Dr. Thorne that Laura is back."
"OK, just a second."
After a while, the camera came out again and said, "Dr. Thorne asked Ms. Laura to go in alone. As for Ms. Fianna, Dr. Thorne asked you to submit the experimental report he requested as soon as possible."
Fianna curled her lips, turned to Laura and said, "Okay, you go in, I'll continue writing the report."
Laura thanked her and stood at the door.
A blue light emerged, scanning her whole body again, and after confirming that there was no problem, the closed door in front of her was finally opened.
It's just that she just took a step, and the whole person suddenly disappeared.
"It's being transmitted, please stand still and support it."
When the mechanical electronic sound sounded, Yu Xingqiao felt his world spinning for a while, and he quickly grabbed the edge of Laura's pocket so as not to be thrown out.
"The teleportation is over, this time it took 31 seconds."
When the electronic sound sounded, Yu Xingqiao was already dizzy, and after a while, he finally regained his clarity.
And Laura seemed to be very comfortable with this kind of teleportation, and it took only a second for her to return to normal.
She looked around and found that it was an ordinary reception room.
Laura didn't move or try to talk to Jun Lu, but waited quietly in place.
About three minutes later, a man's figure walked in.
"Dr. Thorne, hello."
Laura greeted first.
Yu Xingqiao, who had just regained his clarity, could not help but look at the visitor curiously when he heard her words.
Thorne is about forty years old, with brown hair that looks a little sparse, wearing a pair of rimless glasses, and has a gentle temperament.
"Laura, you came back alive."
After the first sentence of the meeting, he squinted his eyes and looked Laura up and down, his eyes full of scrutiny and consideration.
Laura blinked. Although she didn't understand why, she explained it again according to the previous statement.
"It's great that you can come back from the field alone without equipment." Dr. Thorne said solemnly, with a bit of unusualness in his words.
Laura pretended not to hear it, and asked about the dean being taken away.
"I knew you came to me because of her." Dr. Thorne said, "You two have always been very close."
"Well, I really want to know why the consul took away the dean? Dr. Thorne, can you tell me?" Laura asked directly.
Yu Xingqiao immediately pricked up his ears, and Jun Lu, who had merged into the shadows, also showed his figure, tentatively extending his spiritual power.
"I can tell you." Dr. Thorne said, "but you have to convince me first. After telling you, can you help this terrible thing?"
Laura paused.
She vaguely understood what Dr. Thorne meant, and asked following his words: "What do you need me to do?"
"That depends on how much you are willing to do for her." Dr. Thorne said.
Laura frowned, "I don't understand what you mean."
"Are you willing to give your life for her?" Dr. Thorne stared into her eyes and said bluntly.
"She pulled you out of the slums and gave you this high-risk, high-reward job. Because of her, you are here today, so are you willing to save her? Even at the cost of your life?"
Laura looked back at him.
"I am very grateful for the dean's kindness to me. It is true that she gave me the opportunity, but everything I have achieved today is through my own efforts."
Dr. Thorne looked at her with deep disappointment in his eyes.
"It seems that you are unwilling to save her."
"No, I would."
Dr. Thorne was taken aback, and then showed ecstasy, "Very well, she did not trust the wrong person!"
"But before that, Dr. Thorne, I have a request."
"What request?"
"I know the Buta City Research Institute has the most detailed database, and you are one of the people with the highest authority. I hope to use your authority to call the database and find something."
Dr. Thorne adjusted his glasses.
Under Laura's nervous gaze, he said:
"If this is the case, maybe you can rescue the dean and ask her to check it for you. After all, she is the person with the highest authority."
