When Dr. An, Research Institute, returned to the Qinggang Spiritual Power Research Base, it caused a big reaction.
It was already late at night, but the researchers had slept very little.
They never seem to care about day or night, they only have research work in their eyes...
...Lu Xin appreciates this attitude..
Because of this, when Dr. An led a group of Eclipse Research Institute researchers to appear in the base, they immediately attracted countless eyes. Even some bald professors who were busy with research suddenly raised their heads and looked at Dr. An with stars in his eyes. Both men and women, young and old, looked at her chest as if they were attracted by a magnet...
... That Eclipse Research Institute badge.
That is Eclipse Research Institute, the holy place that every researcher dreams of.
Even a woman like Dr. An is not as attractive in their eyes as this little breastplate.
"Welcome welcome..."
Even late at night, Professor Bai, still wearing an elegant gentleman's suit, with his beard and hair neatly combed, and the silver-inlaid cane in his hand polished, came out with researchers from Qinggang and extended his hand to Dr. An from a distance. "I thought Research Institute would be the first one to come, but I didn't expect that you would come just now. We are eager to ask you to guide our work..."
"It was delayed because of some small things."
Dr. An smiled and shook hands with Professor Bai, saying, "Hello Professor Bai."
"Looking at it, I should call you senior brother. If you had stayed at Research Institute, you would definitely be on your own now."
"..."
Professor Bai smiled and said, "It's just necessary for research work. It is valuable no matter where it is."
"For this research project, I wonder if Research Institute has given any guidance or suggestions?"
"..."
When he asked this question, other researchers around him stopped what they were doing and listened carefully.
This question has already touched upon the essence of this research.
"The guest does as the host does."
But unexpectedly, Dr. An just smiled and said, "We are just joining as an ordinary research team."
"Don't worry, we will hand over all the crowdfunded research funds."
"..."
Hearing this, all the researchers around him breathed a sigh of relief, and their expressions were even more surprised.
Professor Bai smiled so hard that the folds he usually tried to hide were exposed. He smiled and waved his hands, "Okay, okay, hurry up, hurry up."
"First arrange a place for Research Institute's experts..."
"..."
"No need to be so polite..."
Dr. An smiled and said, "Just let them have a place to sleep first. As for me..."
She glanced slightly sideways, looked at Lu Xin who followed him in, and said, "Tonight, I have to go to his room first."
"Shua..."
Suddenly, a group of strange eyes looked at Lu Xin at the same time.
Lu Xin was also caught off guard and glanced at Dr. An a little helplessly: Do you have to talk like this?
In full view of everyone, Dr. An really followed Lu Xin back to the room.
This is a temporarily built spacious aluminum room. Although it is simple to build, it is very comfortable inside.
The space is much larger than an ordinary room, and it even separates the inside and outside.
The reason is that when Lu Xin came over at the beginning, he made it clear that he would come with "Ms. Lu", so Qinggang considered it inconvenient for them to live together, so he connected the two rooms together...
"Qinggang is very good, but in some aspects, it falls into the cliché."
Dr. An came to this room, feeling as comfortable as returning to his own home. He turned around and looked around, then threw his small bag on the canvas seat. Then he chuckled in the eyes of the people peeking outside the door and gently closed the door.
It even locked with a click.
"How much time will it take to explain the misunderstanding..."
Lu Xin thought helplessly, then looked at Dr. An and said, "How do you say this?"
"Researchers are supposed to discover problems and solve them."
Dr. An smiled, took out a pack of red gummy candies from his pocket, and gave Lu Xin a smile while eating.
After Lu Xin waved her hand to refuse, she continued, "When people like Professor Bai start to consider these real-life issues of power struggle.
, as a researcher, my heart is somewhat no longer pure. In fact, they were worried that Research Institute would affect or hinder their research, but they were overthinking it. Eclipse Research Institute, will not compete with anyone for these..."
"Of course..."
She changed the topic slightly and said with a smile, "If we really want to compete, no one can compete with Research Institute."
"It's just human nature..."
Lu Xin didn't quite agree with her words. He whispered, then raised his head and cast a questioning look at Dr. An.
He also wanted to know what Dr. An wanted to tell him.
"Hey, let me give you this gift first..."
Dr. An smiled and took out a few broken cards from the bottom of the bag containing red gummy candies.
He gently dropped it on the table and immediately attracted Lu Xin's attention.
They were fragments of several playing cards, the big ones still had half of them, and the small ones had less than a third of the corners left.
There was blood or other unknown sticky substances on it.
One of them is a club and one is a diamond.
Lu Xin What surprised him was that he immediately recognized that these playing cards were consistent with his own Jack of Spades.
It looks like it was pulled from a deck of cards.
"We received a request for help from Qinggang before and learned that a pair of mysterious eyes appeared in the sky above Qinggang. In addition, the pollution from Midnight Court has also appeared around Qinggang, so we rushed over from Research Institute and prepared to help."
Dr. An noticed Lu Xin's curiosity and explained with a smile:
"It's just that when we arrived here, we found that the situation in Qinggang was different from what we imagined."
"Not only was he not swept away by this world-level pollution, he even happily fired a cannon into the sky..."
"So, we immediately changed our target and tracked a knight group participating in the attack."
"..."
"That's them."
She nodded slightly to the broken playing cards on the small table. "Spades Office."
"Sure enough, it's Spades Office..."
Lu Xin felt a slight movement in his heart.
He once met a person with abilities named Black Jack when he was Black Marsh City. When the other person was dying, he asked him to take out a spade playing card from his mind and, if there was a chance, return it to a mysterious organization called Spades Office.
But I never met him again and almost forgot about it.
Unexpectedly, this mysterious organization would appear in this attack.
... You're not here to ask for a debt, are you?
"I originally wanted to capture these people alive."
At this time, Dr. An continued to explain, "However, the process was not too smooth, and there was a bit of a storm."
"Although these people were indeed eliminated, there are only a few playing cards left."
"But fortunately, I found some clues from these people that may be of interest to you."
After a slight pause, she smiled and said, "This clue is my gift to you."
"..."
Lu Xin was slightly startled and asked quickly, "What?"
Dr. An smiled and said, "Have you forgotten the terms of cooperation we agreed on?"
Lu Xin was just startled for a moment, then suddenly stood up, and the expression on his face became serious at the same time.
Of course he hadn't forgotten it.
When I met Dr. An at Central City, the two parties had agreed that Lu Xin would, to a certain extent, help Research Institute deal with some special pollution within its capabilities, and Research Institute would use the power of Infiltrator to help him find a person...
...Old Director.
So, Research Institute has...
"Yes."
Facing Lu Xin's somewhat surprised look, Dr. An said, "The mastermind of the escaped laboratory incident, the betrayer of Research Institute, the mastermind behind a series of Forbidden Experiment and strange events, Professor Wang Jingyun, appeared in this Qinggang attack."
"It's just that now he has left with some mysterious people, and these people are related to Spades Office..."
"More importantly, judging from some clues, Professor Wang Jingyun's departure does not seem to be voluntary."
"To simply understand, you can think that he was kidnapped."
"..."
"Kidnapping?"
This word made Lu Xin slightly startled, even a little confused.
How could Old Director be kidnapped?
However, this does illustrate some of my doubts.
After every trial, this Old Director seems to leave some traces and comment on his own performance.
But this time, after the trial ended, he actually completely lost track of him.
Is this because he was kidnapped?
Too much information poured into his mind at once, and Lu Xin even felt slightly confused.
I couldn't figure it out. "What on earth is going on?"
"If my guess is correct, it should be someone related to Spades Office who kidnapped Professor Wang Jingyun. Judging from some clues left by Professor Wang Jingyun, it seems that he was kidnapped on purpose so that we could focus on a certain group of people."
Dr. An said something convoluted and said softly, "The process of this matter is very complicated, but the conclusion is very simple."
"There are some terrible people behind this incident."
"..."
Lu Xin still doesn't understand it, and even thinks it's ridiculous.
Dr. An is a person from Research Institute. People from Research Institute actually think other people are scary?
"It would take a lot of words to explain this in detail..."
Dr. An gently picked up a corner of a card on the table and said softly, "But I have a simpler way for you to understand."
"Spades Office is a mysterious organization, and most of the members of this organization are Abyss Team ability users."
"But what we need to understand is that Abyss Team's other ability users are basically outside the thirteen ability groups, because they did not develop their own abilities due to the impact of mental shock. Including the Xia Chong you know, they are more of a group of artificially created ability users. Spades Office is especially obvious, just like these playing cards with abilities."
"Actually, this should all be part of Genesis Hard Drive."
