Chapter 629
The little girl opened her mouth, “You little-”
Before the word “heart” could be uttered, Ying Zidian moved.
With a swift move, she knocked the killers in ambush out.
The sharpshooters stationed on the skyscraper were horrified at the sight: “Quickly, shoot! Disable her!”
Although there were no top ten killers on the list among the killers who came today, at least they were all hunters on the list, and they were dealt with so easily?
Did they have five minutes?
“Boom boom boom!”
The gunshots kept ringing out, but none of the bullets could hurt Ying Zigui half a bit.
All of them fell to the ground when they were still half a metre away from her.
Truly walking against a rain of bullets.
The little girl was silent.
She rubbed her eyes, and then rubbed them again to make sure she was seeing things right or not.
The hunters who were still conscious saw this scene and were horrified.
Inner strength outwardly manifested, Ancient Martial Grandmaster!
Ancient martial artists from China!
The roar of the hunter responsible for organising this operation reached everyone’s ears through the transmission tool, “Retreat!”
“Go! Go, don’t confront the ancient martial artists!”
It didn’t even take half a minute for the hunters chasing the little girl to run clean out.
“……”
The whole street was silent.
Ying Zigui turned his head, raised his hand and withdrew his inner energy.
The little girl’s legs could only move then.
She jumped down, silent again, and pointed at the hunters lying all over the place, “You’re just going to lay them out here?”
“Someone will sort it out.” Ying dropped her sleeve, “I’m lazy.”
Since this little girl was ibi’s priority protection, ibi would send someone to catch these hunters back and put them in an international prison.
How long they were locked up for was not her concern.
“That’s fine, thank you for saving me, we’ll do it another day-” Before the little girl could finish her words, she was lifted up again.
The next second, all she felt was a blur before her eyes.
By the time her vision was clear again, the two had changed places.
Ying Ziji was still squeezing the little girl’s shoulder, and her eyes narrowed: “So it was you.”
Although her memory wasn’t bad, she couldn’t remember someone she had met two years ago at the airfield.
At most, there was such a thing in her memory.
The reason she could recognise it now was because she had felt the age of the little girl’s bones.
It was still six years old, but it didn’t match her demeanour at all.
It had been two years and the girl’s bone age hadn’t changed.
This was something that the ancient doctors could not do, and it could only be because she had taken some kind of alchemical drug.
The little girl was a little confused: “What is me, have we met before?”
“We met two years ago at the airfield.” Ying Ziji lowered her eyes, “I forgot to ask last time, what’s your name?”
“Eh, I forgot, but I did come to o continent two years ago, my name is Sinai Leingel, don’t you all know that?” The little girl struggled a little, “Hey kid, put me down, I told you, I’m older than you.”
“Sure enough it’s you.” Ying looked at the picture Fu Yunshen had given her, “Who’s after you?”
“Who else could it be?” Sinai clenched her fist, “A stinking woman, keeping me so long, wait until I find my niece, wait, she’s getting the hell out of here …… No! ”
Her eyes abruptly turned cold: “You’re not the one that stinking woman hired from the House of Sages to capture me, are you? Save me so that I can lower my guard so that you can take me back when the time comes?”
She had just looked very carefully.
The girl hadn’t used any high-tech means or weapons to beat back those hunters.
Apart from those with special abilities in the Sage Academy, who else could have such skills?
Ying Ziji let go of her and took a step back: “What is the House of Magi?”
“You’re not from the House of Magi?” Sinai squeezed her wrist and circled around her, “No way, are you all that powerful on Earth now? But I didn’t meet anyone as powerful as you last time I was out.”
She had gone round the underworld of O Continent last time, and those S-rank mercenaries were barely a match for her servants at home.
Ying captured the point: “Our Earth?”
“Ah, no, I misspoke, we Earth, we.” Sinai coughed a few times, “Since you’re not from the House of Magi, I’ll leave, we’ll meet again sometime.”
But she couldn’t slip away.
The acupuncture points were sealed again.
Ying Ziji took out a tissue to wipe her sweat and said indifferently, “You talk a lot of nonsense, I can save you and I can throw you back again.”
Sinai was a bit aggrieved: “Then what do you want?”
Ying Ziji looked at her, “I asked you to answer, what is the name of the place you came from and how do you get in?”
A single word made Xinae wary again.
She hesitated for a moment, “You are not from our place, you cannot know.”
Ying nodded and lifted the little girl up for the third time, just as she was about to throw her to the hunters.
“Ahhhhh, I said I said.” Sinai clung to her arm with a deadly grip, aggrieved, “Have you ever heard of some of the world’s unsolved mysteries?”
Only then did Ying stop, using her inner energy to block off the space around her, her eyelashes dropping, “What are you referring to?”
“There are many.” Sinai broke his fingers, “For example, a ship disappeared for no reason in a certain area of the sea, and a decade or so later the ship reappeared with the same people on board.”
Ying nodded slightly, “There are indeed many such instances.”
“Yes, they have entered the City of Worlds by mistake, but they are not qualified and are repatriated when they enter.” Sinai said, “But there might be some problems on the way to repatriation, blundering into the quantum realm or something, space and time fluctuations, ah, it’s quite troublesome, I hate physics.”
Ying whispered, “The City of Worlds?”
An extremely strong sense of familiarity filled the thoughts.
thecityoftheworld
“Alas, you’re also lucky to have met me face to face, you wouldn’t have heard me if I’d given it to you in the city.” Sinai looked old-fashioned, “Even lip-syncing would be useless, and all sorts of words would be blocked by the program, no avenue would work.”
Ying nodded; “Hmm, I know, how do I get in?”
“As long as you have a resident card of the City of Worlds you can get in, otherwise it would be bad if you were caught by someone from the House of Magi, there is an entrance in the sea near here.”
Sinai counted the time: “But there are still four months until it opens, and I can’t even get in until it does.”
“Four months.” Ying Zigui wrinkled her brow, “Time is a bit tight.”
She didn’t know how much of her ancient martial cultivation could be restored in four months.
Apparently, the World City possessed technology far above Earth’s level, even alchemy techniques as well as force.
“I’ve heard from the elders in my family that in previous centuries, one would be invited into the City of Worlds by the House of Sages on their own initiative if they had outstanding contributions or other awesome places.” Sinai added, “One could break the rules and make them a resident of the City of Worlds.”
“But no one has been recruited in from outside for at least a hundred years; I heard that something happened to the House of Magi that prohibited the active recruitment of residents from Earth.”
“I see.” Ying finished gathering the information and mused, “The last time we met, you also said that I was somewhat similar to your niece.”
“Did I say that?” Sinai rubbed his head, “Well, to be honest, I told at least half a dozen people that you looked like my niece, but in the end, none of them were.”
Ying Zidian raised his eyebrows, “What did you use to determine the resemblance?”
“It’s because she’s pretty, of course.” Sinai was righteous, “How could our Leyngel family’s genes be any worse?”
“……”
“But you really could be my niece, kid, where were you born?”
“China, Hucheng.”
“Then it’s not.” Sinai frowned, “I don’t know where my niece is, but I’m sure she grew up on this side of o continent in the East.”
Ying was not interested in that and his voice eased, “I’ll make a deal with you, I’ll help you find your niece and you take me into the City of Worlds.”
“What are you doing in the City of Worlds?” Sinai was a little curious, “It seems like you’ve been looking for it for a long time.”
Ying Zidian’s eyes were cool and light: “To take revenge.”
Sinai thought for a moment, “Deal, I can still bring someone in.”
Ying Zidian gave a hint: “What are the characteristics of your niece?”
“Good-looking?” Sinai was also distressed, “I don’t know any other characteristics, I managed to escape this time, I didn’t bring my sister-in-law’s DNA sample out, there’s no way to do this paternity test.”
Ying Zidian didn’t want to pay attention to her and turned around to leave.
“Hey, I’m serious, my sister-in-law is a rare beauty in the City of the World.” Sinai immediately chased after her, “My elder brother is good looking too, so my niece must be even better looking.”
Ying Zidian: “You’d better be quiet.”
Sinai: “…… Oh.”
The phone rang at that moment.
Ying Zidian picked it up.
The other side of the phone spoke anxiously, “Hello, D**key, this is Teacher Chen.”
“Teacher Chen?” Ying Zidian took a step, “Is something wrong?”
“It’s like this, it’s really not a good thing to worry you about.” Teacher Chen’s tone couldn’t hide his anxiety, “Because this is something we as teachers didn’t handle properly.”
As a teacher, one had to protect one’s students.
You can’t just let students go out and fight it on their own.
Teacher Chen recounted what had happened in the past two days, “But Old Zuo he never came back, I suspect he might have been held by the International Physics Centre.”
“They definitely won’t hurt him, but you’ll be in trouble to get your thesis back.”
Ying Ziji’s eyes went cold: “The International Physics Centre?”
Chapter 630
When Ms. Chen mentioned this, Ying remembered.
She had written a paper last year on celestial bodies and parallel universes, and Zuo Li had submitted it to the International Centre for Physics for her.
He said he would help her apply for publication in a scientific journal and get an honorary title so that she could be promoted to a professorship.
Later on, Zuo Li told her that the International Centre for Physics had rejected her thesis, so she had to submit it to another astronomical institution.
Zuo Li had taken care of the thesis, and Ying Zigei trusted him.
I didn’t expect this kind of thing to happen.
“Okay, Mr. Chen.” Ying Ziyi answered indifferently, “I know, m country, I’ll go now.”
“No, you can’t go!” Teacher Chen got excited all of a sudden, “Listen to me, it’s all in this circle of the physics world, they definitely won’t hurt Old Left.”
“But if you go, you’ll definitely be held back by them too.”
Ying Ziji’s eyes grew colder.
Mr. Chen’s tone grew more anxious: “I’m calling just to tell you that I will go to the headmaster and will definitely get your paper back, you mustn’t get involved.”
“There are some shady parts of academia that you students wouldn’t even think about, and deaths are common.”
Just like the Ji family.
In order to prevent Wen Fengmian’s experiment from succeeding, they had gone out of their way to move and kill a dozen researchers.
Ying Ziji’s eyes stared, “I know, Teacher Chen, you don’t have to worry about this matter, I’ll solve it myself.”
Teacher Chen froze: “But this paper of yours ……”
Who would have thought that the president of the International Physics Centre would do such a thing, selling Ying’s thesis for money and power?
“Don’t worry, Teacher Chen.” Ying Zidian looked calm and steady, “The thesis, I will get it back, and Professor Zuo, I will also bring him out unharmed.”
She ended the call and immediately turned her direction, heading over to the airfield.
“Hey, hey, hey.” Sinai jumped, “Kid, where are you going?”
“M country.” Ying Ziji looked down and called for a private helicopter, “It’s up to you if you want to go.”
Sinai thought for a moment about how Ying Zigui had fought earlier.
There were indeed quite a few people after her here in o-continent, and there was no way she could find her niece by herself hiding in the east.
Might as well follow this very bullying kid around.
“I’ll go, of course I’ll go.” Sinai made an immediate decision, “I’ve never been to M. The earth is really bigger than our city.”
Ying called the plane and sent another text to Fu Yunshen, “Well, let’s go.”
“Ugh, I came out in such a hurry that I didn’t even bring transport.” Sinai squatted down and pressed the button on her shoe twice, “I still have to stand.”
After the button was pressed, her shoe plates turned and a dozen miniature tyres appeared, pushing her forward.
It was steady, and there was no need to keep her balance.
Sinai put his hands in his pockets and took his time: “Kid, let’s go, I’ve got this on auto-navigation, it follows you wherever you go.”
Ying Zigui: “……”
Technology is so advanced that it tends to turn people into real lazy pigs.

Afternoon.
Filippo.
Chateau Laurent.
On the third floor balcony, Elisabeth is sunbathing.
She has also got the sample issue sent to her by the International Centre for Physics and is perusing it.
Three hundred million dollars for a paper and, naturally, the International Centre for Physics gave Elizabeth the cover of this scientific journal.
The cover also featured the title “The once-in-a-century genius of the physics world” and a picture of Elizabeth.
Elizabeth was very pleased with this.
She called the International Centre for Physics back and said she would pay a further $10 million for her efforts.
“Thank you, Miss Elizabeth.” The president was respectful, “But there is one thing that I need to talk to you about, and that is that the original owner of this paper you sold, her teacher, has come looking for her.”
“We held him back to prevent unnecessary trouble.”
“Sought it out.” Elizabeth frowned, faintly, “Then he did have the nerve to not tell him I had bought it?”
“Said so, but he was bent on it.” The President said, “Mainly because he’s also submitted his student’s paper to a celestial institution over on O Continent.”
Elizabeth looked puzzled, “When did that happen?”
“Don’t worry Miss Elizabeth, their journal doesn’t come out until early May.”
Elizabeth was then rea*sured.
That way it wouldn’t be her who was caught up in the plagiarism fiasco.
“All right, buckle up.” Elizabeth was noncommittal, “If you can’t, use the money to shut him up, and if it bothers him any more, get him out of this world.”
The president got the word and got his back up, “Yes, Miss Elizabeth.”
Elizabeth closed the journal and made a cup of coffee.
Her father, Brewer Laurent, walked in at that moment, “Something happened to your thesis?”
Brewer Laurent was not the head of this Laurent family, but the brother of the head of the family.
Because Elisabeth was brilliant, Brewer’s status in the Laurent family had increased considerably.
“It’s all right, it’s settled.” Elizabeth shrugged, “There were ungodly people who cleaned up and became honest, I have no time for them, I am still waiting for an audience with my master.”
“The master does hold you in high regard.” Brewer was delighted, “Professor Helvin’s lab is not easy to get into, I didn’t think the master would make a special connection for you.”
The first thing that the man in charge of the Laurent family, ah, had personally done was to find a few juniors in the Laurent family and send them into Helvin’s lab.
Elizabeth smiled a little, “Butler Jobe said that the master contacted not actually Professor Helvin, but the first researcher in the lab, and my profile just happened to fit, so I was let in.”
“Since it’s the first researcher, it’s not far off from Helwyn’s position in this experiment, so keep this matter under wraps.” Brewer nodded, “You’re not that far along in physics anyway, a paper would just be like a tiger.”
Several other family members and Elizabeth were contenders.
And they were only a*sistant fellows at the moment, they hadn’t moved on.
There can only be one full researcher at the end of the day.
If she wasn’t desperate to move on, it wouldn’t take much to pay big bucks for a paper to cement her position.
“Naturally.” Elizabeth took a sip of her coffee, “The IPC side won’t actively expose it, and as for the student and the professor, they have no proof and no higher authority than the IPC.”
No one would believe it.
Brewer was relieved now and left the balcony.
Elizabeth looked that paper over again and gasped again.
It was indeed more creative than what she had written.
The ideas and theories mentioned in this paper were not necessarily something that even those old professors could have come up with.
It was a pity that she had to get the title of a full researcher.
When the time came, she would send some money to the original owner of the thesis to console her.
**
This way.
International Centre for Physics.
The president looked at the extra ten million dollars in his account and was in a good mood.
He left his office and went to the room where Zuo Li was being held.
Zuo Li was confined to the bed, except for his hands, which could move, his torso and legs were handcuffed with chains.
He stared dead at the president and did not say a word.
“Professor Zuo, that’s no fun for you.” The president sat down opposite him and smiled faintly, “That student of yours is very agile, with surely he can write more papers, so what if this one is sold?”
“You sell Miss Elizabeth a favour, when the family head changes, won’t you have the Laurent family as your backer?”
The chairman simply could not understand Zuo Li’s stubbornness.
Zuo Li spat on the chairman’s face and sneered, “I pooh! You’re a businessman, do you understand how important the paper is to us?”
The president’s eyes turned gloomy for a few moments, “You really don’t know what’s good for you, someone!”
Several bodyguards walked in, holding guns.
“Miss Elizabeth has said that he can be allowed to-”
Before the president could finish his words, a cacophony of noise came from outside the door.
A voice sounded anxiously.
“Mademoiselle, you can’t go! Miss!”
“Miss, if you keep this up, we’re going to call someone!”
“Boom!”
The door was kicked open.
The president frowned, “Who, doesn’t know you can’t come in here?”
He turned his head to look and froze violently.
The girl’s features were extremely full of colour, and her pair of clear brimming phoenix eyes favoured a chilling coldness.
One dared not look directly at them.
Before the president could react, he was kicked to the ground.
The kick just hit him at his most vulnerable spot.
“Ah…!!!”
A heart-breaking scream resounded through the room.
The president rolled around in pain and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
A few of the bodyguards were also stunned.
They just watched in awe as the girl walked over to the bed and directly disconnected the shackles from Zuo Li’s body with her hands.
Zuo Li: “……”
What kind of force value is this?
Hands harder than a knife?!
The president finally took a breath, but was still shaking from the pain
He spoke through clenched teeth, “Give me, give me to arrest, arrest her ……”
“One paper, three hundred million dollars.” Ying lifted him up and pressed him against the wall, “The money is quite good, better than I can earn.”
The chairman shivered, “I’m warning you, this is an international physics centre, don’t mess around, or you won’t be able to work in the physics world in the future!”
He had seen Ying Zigui’s picture.
The only one who could come to Zuo Li’s rescue was also Ying Zidian.
As soon as he said this, Ying Zidian twisted his wrist without much expression.
There was another scream and the chairman almost fainted from the pain.
Ying Zidian squatted down, clasped his shoulder, squeezed it tightly and slowly crushed the bone, indifferently: “Do you think I am not caring about this?”
The chairman was completely scared out of his wits, screaming in agony.
He was just a businessman, usually exercising at most and protected by bodyguards, where had he ever suffered such injuries?
“Stop it!” A black-clad bodyguard spoke in a stern voice, “If you don’t let go of the chairman, I’ll shoot her dead!”
The gun in his hand was aimed at Sinai, who had followed him in, and he sneered, “The gun in my hand doesn’t have eyes!”
Ying Ziyi turned her head.
“No way, no way, you don’t really think I’m easy to bully, do you?” Sinai pressed her watch again, “When I’m normal, I’m at least an imperial girl, you’re not even as tall as my legs, you know?”
“With a swish, a laser shot out of the watch and hit the gun in the black-clad bodyguard’s hand.
As if it had come into contact with a hot furnace, the gun began to melt like snow and soon turned into a puddle of liquid.
The bodyguard in black was stunned.
His legs shivered and he fell to his knees with a thud: “Forgive me, forgive me!”
Sinai put his hands back in his pockets, “No point.”
“Let’s go.” Ying Zidian led Zuo Li out.
The president was still lying on the ground, unable to move.
“Student Ying, I’m sorry.” Zuo Li was really blaming herself, “I couldn’t get your paper back and I had to ask you to save me.”
“Power looks at people, it’s very common, without power you have to be suppressed.” Ying recoiled and placated him, “Professor Zuo doesn’t have to say sorry.”
“There’s nothing wrong with me, it’s just that you ……” Zuo Li frowned, “Ying, go and tell Professor Helvin directly, with his position in the physics world, he’s perfectly capable of escorting you. ”
“This will treat the symptoms but not the root cause.” Ying raised his eyes, “They’ve obviously done this sort of thing many times before.”
“Good.” Zuo Li clenched his fist, “That bullsh*t president just now even told me that I don’t have other people who know how to behave.”
How many people should have lost the honour that was theirs then.
And how many people were flaunting in the academic world with someone else’s stuff on top of them.
But they, again, didn’t have Ying Zidian’s background.
Ying Zidian glanced at the sign on the wall on the ground floor and pondered: “The investor of the International Physics Centre, is the venus group?”
Zuo Li froze: “It seems to be, oh oh, are you looking for Mr. Fu? But he is only the president of the Asia Pacific region, and all investments related to academics are executed from the o-continent headquarters side.”
It was the o-continent headquarters, not the o-union region.
Even the president of the o-continent region was not qualified to sway academic investments.
Although the Asia Pacific region was developing well, because it was established late, it was no match for the o-continent region.
“He is not the president of the Asia Pacific region.”
“Huh?”
Ying pressed the number: “He is the chief executive officer.”
