"So... I think the cylinder wall should be separated from the condenser, plus a suction pump..."
Jenny nervously presented her design in front of Sulu.
Immediately, she saw the mentor's expressionless face melt away like a glacier.
"Genius idea! I think this is the epoch-making difference between the old-fashioned steam engine and the new-style steam engine!" Sulu did not hesitate to praise him.
Being able to think this far without him giving many hints proves that Jenny does have a pretty good mechanical talent.
'Perhaps... this is also related to the fact that she has not received much formal education and her thinking has not been solidified? '
Su Lu smiled and nodded: "Ingenious design, perfect work! I hope you can make the finished product as soon as possible. Of course, I will subsidize you a sum of money, and then promote you to be nominated for this year's Invention Award and obtain a patent for a new steam engine …”
"Thank you, teacher."
Jenny blushed slightly with excitement.
It can be seen that she really likes the knowledge of mechanics.
It's just that this female student has not realized that the whole world has changed after a new type of steam engine comes out and brings powerful power.
Speaking of this, Sulu had an inexplicable smile on his face: "How about an improved steam engine called 'Jenny Steam Engine'?"
…
On the way home, Jenny's steps were quite brisk.
"Jenny, you have become an excellent 'artisan', and the next step is to pursue the mysteries of the extraordinary...'
she told herself so.
"Unfortunately... Mr. Turing still has no plans to accept me as a mysterious apprentice..."
In the bookcase of Mr. Turing's house, although there are books introducing occultism, there is no way to obtain a stigmata.
'Perhaps I should look elsewhere? No, no... That's too dangerous, not yet, and besides, I don't have that kind of financial resources...'
An idea came up, but was quickly vetoed by Jenny: "Let's wait until I become a famous mechanic scholar and accumulate a sum of money. At that time, I will have more channels..."
Jenny didn't notice that the scenery of the road on both sides of her had changed subtly.
A trace of mist continued to spread, making the surrounding buildings a bit hazy, as if they had come to two worlds.
Boom!
There was an explosion.
Jenny was startled, and suddenly found that the world she was in was only black and white.
"Is this... an abnormal event?"
Jenny wanted to cry in her heart, "Why did you hit me again?"
She glanced around, trying to escape backwards, but found that there was no way back.
"damn it… "
Jenny gritted her teeth, found a shadow, and hid.
In the eerie silence, the explosion came closer and closer.
She watched in amazement as the surrounding buildings quickly became decayed and aged, the ground was muddy, emitting a stench, and turned into unknown rotting things.
Pale palms, like thriving plants, sprouted from the soil.
"Believers of evil gods!"
A voice, like thunder, exploded above the decaying city: "In the name of Mother Nature, purify!"
Boom!
Another loud bang came.
Countless flesh and blood splattered in all directions, as if a rain of flesh and blood had fallen.
What's even more disgusting is that these flesh and blood squirmed quickly after landing, grew tentacles, and fled in all directions.
"ah!"
Jenny let out a low cry.
An eye with tentacles passed her side and got into her trousers.
A tearing pain came from the calf.
Jenny was paralyzed on the ground, feeling that the eyeballs had penetrated directly under the skin, devouring the flesh and blood, all the way up, and came to the position between her eyebrows.
Bark!
Her eyebrows were split open, and a strange black and red eye popped out, with a strange look, turning left and right, as if looking at the surrounding environment.
The sharp pain subsided.
Jenny supported the wall and stood up, and found that her eyesight had improved significantly.
She saw through the decaying buildings, saw the pastor of the Church of Nature who was doing a dragnet search to destroy the mutated flesh, and also saw where she was.
The black and white world suddenly became illusory, overlapping with reality, and I seemed to have found a way to leave.
'Now that I am caught...'
Jenny touched her extra third eye: "It will definitely be regarded as a monster." '
She moved back stealthily, out of the black-and-white world.
'Can't go home, teacher... go to the teacher...'
Jenny lowered her hat, covered her eyes between her eyebrows, and quickly fled back to the School of Mechanical Engineering, slapping on Sulu's door: "Teacher, teacher!"
"What's up?"
Sulu opened the door and asked a little strangely.
Jenny stepped in and closed the door: "I'm in trouble, sorry, I can only think of you..."
No matter how strong the girl was, there was a hint of crying in her voice at this moment.
"Come on... have a cup of hot cocoa."
Sulu asked Jenny to sit down and looked at the girl who was holding a drink cup in both hands and sipping: "What happened?"
Jenny trembled all over, and took off her hat, revealing the third eye between her brows.
"Oh? Poor little guy, did you encounter any weird incidents again?"
Sulu sighed.
"Yes, teacher..." Jenny told all the things she encountered.
Sulu thought for a while: "The resurrection of flesh and blood... What you encountered should be a group of encirclement and suppression. The guardians of nature are encircling and suppressing the believers of the evil god 'God of Resurrection'! The believers of this evil god are a group of lunatics. able to resurrect…”
"That world..." Jenny was still puzzled.
"It's a large-scale field. It should be the effect of a certain magical item, separating the battlefield from reality... Of course, you were a little unlucky and went straight into it!"
Sulu looked at the eyes between Jenny's eyebrows. This eye seemed to have a mind of its own, and it was turning and scanning around: "And this eye has given you a certain ability, allowing you to escape again... But, if you mess with it, you can't escape. This kind of weirdness basically makes it impossible to return to the life of ordinary people... "
This is also the sorrow of ordinary people. Once contaminated with 'mystery', it is difficult to turn back.
"So, what's the solution?" Jenny was not an ordinary person, and she could ask calmly.
"There are two ways. One is to go back to the Church of Nature and surrender yourself. They may 'purify' you, or they may absorb you and help you suppress this weirdness... The second is to become a 'saint' yourself and suppress this eye... "
Sulu sighed.
"The first way, is it possible to be 'purified'?" Jenny trembled, knowing that it was not an ordinary purification, but a complete destruction from soul to body.
"I choose the second one!"
