Within minutes, word of such a major experimental error had spread throughout the experimental site.
Both Dean Norman and Herman rushed over.
By this time, the self-destruct sequence of the testing room had already been activated, and the whole testing room was reduced to rubble.
After the self-destruct program was activated, the doors were able to open as well.
Although the rescue team had already gone in, everyone knew that with an explosion that big, the people inside would be dead even if they were bronze.
Charlotte was still a little confused.
She did see a man go inside, what was going on?
At the news of who was trapped inside, Dean Norman’s eyes went black and he simply pa*sed out.
The researchers who were still at the base followed suit.
Several of the researchers who were close to Sinai were shocked to the point of losing their tongues.
Anne was among them.
She looked warily at the ruined testing room, and then at the cold-looking Celie, and suddenly shivered.
This was the plan Celie had talked about then?
This was not a plan to drive Sinai out of the experimental base, it was clearly a plan to kill her.
Moreover, if the remaining ten researchers didn’t escape, it would be eleven lives that were wanted.
The researchers who were able to join the Cosmic Carrier Experiment Project were the pillars of the field in the future, even if they hadn’t achieved anything yet.
For the sake of her own selfishness, Celie was able to ignore the lives of so many people.
The more Anne thought about it, the more panicked she became.
She looked at the team of inspectors who were checking every instrument and hesitated, her foot moving a step.
Just then, Celie spoke coldly, “I advise you not to confront me without proof.”
Annie’s body shook violently and her face turned white little by little.
“Where is an experiment that doesn’t involve bloodshed or sacrifice?” Celie smiled slightly, “That’s why we have to be more careful, don’t you think?”
Annie’s face went even whiter as she froze in place, cold sweat dampening her back.
Célie’s words were a clear warning to her not to meddle or she too would be finished.
Anne vaguely knew that the power behind Celie was not small, with ties to several plutocrats in continent O and several international research organisations.
Otherwise she wouldn’t have gotten a double offer from the International Centre for Physics and Norton University.
Celie’s demeanour was unchanged and calm.
She hadn’t been putting her hostility towards Sinai on the surface and would be friendly enough to invite her to tea.
The inspectors would never have come to her even if they had started to track down the murderer.
What’s more, it was just an accident and there was no evidence to link it to anyone else.
As it turned out, the inspector team tested half a day and couldn’t find any sign of human involvement.
There was absolutely no evidence.
“Impossible!” Charlotte shouted back, “We’ve checked several times and there’s no sign of the elements being over the limit at all, it must be thought!”
“Ma’am, calm down, please calm down.” The inspector captain soothed, “We’ll check again and make sure we don’t miss any suspicions, but ma’am, whether it’s man-made or accidental, anyone left behind ……”
All were definitely out of life.
Charlotte was cold, she stared blankly into the darkened, blackened testing room, her breath coming hard as tears fell from her eyes, “No …… it can’t be, Ms. …… Ms. She’s obviously still so young… …”
Celie stood for a moment longer, seeing nothing worth watching, shrugged and was about to leave the place.
The door outside was slammed open at that moment.
The girl strode straight in, followed by Cloudy Hill and Cloudy Mist.
She was like a harsh blade, breaking through all the thorns and stepping into the light.
“……”
There was a moment of silence in the room.
Celie’s body was pinned in place, her feet not moving.
Her brow furrowed imperceptibly.
How could there be such a pretty and young girl on this base besides Sinai?
And a Chinese?
Without looking at Celie, Ying Zigui knelt down in front of Dean Norman and simply fished out a few silver needles from his sleeve and stabbed them into a few acupuncture points on his body.
After a few stitches, within a few seconds, Dean Norman woke up leisurely.
At the sight of the girl, his heart settled down at once.
“Little apprentice!” But at the thought of what had just happened, Dean Norman didn’t catch his breath, “Your aunt …… your aunt she’s in there!”
Ying Ziyi looked up abruptly.
The rescue team came out just at that moment.
The captain wiped a sweat and took a breath before saying, “Gentlemen, I’m sorry, we didn’t find any traces of anyone’s activity inside, was there a mistake?”
The crowd was stunned.
Celie’s expression shifted.
No one?
Even if there had been an explosion, there couldn’t have been no bones.
Could it be that Sinai could still walk through walls? Run through the wall?
Celie sneered in her mind.
She, a researcher, would have such an idea.
It was ridiculous.
Dean Norman was also confused: “Apprentice, it’s you ……”
Ying Ziji’s voice eased, “Teacher, don’t worry, Auntie will be fine.”
“Oh oh.” Dean Norman drifted off and let out a long breath, “You mean, little Sinai she can fly too?”
Ying Ziji: “……”
It was true that the last thing she should worry about was Dean Norman’s mental state.
The old man was always able to reconcile himself.
From the moment Ying Zidian entered, everyone’s eyes were focused on her.
It was as if she was born with such an absolute ability to attract people that they couldn’t take their eyes off her.
“Madam.” Yun Shan cupped his fist, “There is indeed no one inside.”
“Hmm.” Ying Ziyi turned her head, looked at Celie and faintly, “Arrest them.”
“Yes, Madam!”
Yunshan and Yunmu didn’t give Celie any chance to resist, they immediately pinned her down and put the special shackles made by the Ancient Martial World on her.
Shackles that even Ancient Martial Arts Grandmasters could not break free from, let alone Celie, an ordinary person.
“What are you doing?!” Celie felt the sharp pain coming from her body and she panicked, “Who are you to arrest me? What have I done wrong?!”
The other fellows were even more baffled.
They all knew Ying Ziyi too, only because of the venus group and the international investigation directorate ibi.
The fact that Fu Yunshen was the top executive officer of ibi was still a sensation, even after almost a year.
I didn’t expect that Ying Zidian would join the experiment and be in contact with the core of the project.
Isn’t that a bit too young?
Besides, why did she take Celie away?
Celie is well liked in the experimental base, at least more so than Sinai, a cold beauty.
Ying Zidian rolled up his sleeves, his eyebrows still cold: “Take it away.”
Yunshan and Yunmu only listened to Ying Zidian’s words and pressed Celie to go outside.
“Madam Fu!” The other fellows couldn’t stand still and hurried forward, questioning, “Madam Fu, what do you mean by that?”
“Attempted malicious murder and causing major damage to the experimental base.” Ying Ziyi had a rare extra explanation, “Congratulations, international prison awaits you.”
No one would doubt the veracity of the last sentence.
Given the relationship between Ying Ziji and Fu Yunshen, it would be easy for her to send anyone to international prison.
“Madam Fu! You have no evidence, you cannot use public office for personal gain.” The researcher’s expression went cold for a moment, “You don’t even have any evidence, so why are you arresting people? Where is ibi’s credibility when you arrest people like this?”
Ying Zidian lowered his eyes, his voice so light that it was not warm: “What evidence do I need.”
“……”
“However, if you want evidence, you can do that too.” Ying Zidian looked at the inspector, “Check her bedroom, and the villa at 12 Cheyo Road, and ……”
The girl’s voice was unhurried as she gave the names of nine places in a row.
Each one, little by little, caused Celie’s mental defences to crumble.
She trembled all over, simply in disbelief.
These residences of hers, the property deeds were not even written in her name, not even ibi would check her head.
How come Ying Ziji was so accurate when she said that?
What’s going on here?
Without even looking into it, everyone who saw Celie’s breakdown knew that she was involved in this matter.
“Be honest.” Yun Shan didn’t have any mercy, he kicked Celie hard in both knees, he sneered, “You dare to bully even our lady’s aunt, you don’t want to die!”
Once the charges were carried out, Celie would be executed.
This time, no one stopped.
The researchers who were friends with Celie were unbelievable.
Celie was even more alarmed.
Sinai, the aunt of Ying Zidian?
If she had known that Sinai and Ying Zidian had such a relationship, she would have found a different way to deal with Sinai.
“No! You can’t arrest me!” Celie suddenly screamed, “I have a professor’s employment letter from Norton University in my hand, if you want to arrest me, you have to ask Norton University first!”
She knew Norton University was secretive.
Norton University must have the power to bail her out!
“Norton University?” Ying paused and smiled, “What a coincidence, he has a score to settle with you too, only, not now.”
Celie’s mind buzzed, not even able to comprehend the meaning of the words before she was pressed into the plane sent by ibi by Cloudy Hill and Cloudy.
**
ibi International Prison.
Bored with idleness lately, Anthony would occasionally run in to gossip with the prison warden.
“Yo, there’s someone else.” Anthony greeted Yunshan Yunmu, “The chief must have some kind of special body, how come there’s crime everywhere he goes?”
Cloudy Mountain glanced at him, “No young master, we’ve been following the lady.”
Anthony: “……”
f*ck.
He was so jealous.
Since the results of the trial were still pending, Celie was temporarily taken into custody in the detention room.
The detention room had no windows and no lights.
Celie was located in the darkness, her whole body trembling and her teeth creaking.
She still couldn’t understand how Ying knew so much, even more details than she herself did.
Originally, according to her plan, she would take over Sinai’s experimental project without a hitch.
How did it get to ibi all of a sudden?!
Celie’s mind was a jumbled mess.
I don’t know how long it took, but Celie was all groggy from her night’s sleep, before the door to the detention room was pushed open.
A tall, erect figure walked in.
Celie looked up hastily, her eyes hopeful.
This look sent a jolt through her body.
She had seen this man before.
She and Anne had been at the café when this man had accompanied Sinai on her shopping trip.
It was rare to find a man with such good looks and body among the Westerners.
Naturally Celie was impressed.
The man sat down in front of her.
His posture was lazy, but the kind of pressure he exuded was breathless.
It was as if he was suppressing something, and the air pressure was low throughout.
After a few seconds, Norton finally spoke, “Norton University? Who granted you that?”
Celie froze, and before she could say anything, a large 3D projection screen appeared in front of her.
On the big screen was an overhead view of an overhead screen.
It was a huge island with buildings lined up and a gloriously ma*sive clock tower at the centre.
The world’s number one university, Norton University.
The overhead image soon disappeared and the screen switched to an office.
Celie also recognised the person working at the computer.
The Vice Chancellor of Norton University.
She had only received a letter of employment from Norton University, she had not been officially inducted.
So she only knew of the existence of the Vice Chancellor and had no contact with it.
Celie looked at the man with short silver hair and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
It wouldn’t ……
Norton answered faintly, coldly, “Decker.”
“Yes!” Suddenly named, the vice-principal gave a jolt, “Headmaster, I’m here! Where are you?”
The headmaster had always been a godsend and always liked to contact him in such a way.
He was having a heart attack.
Norton faded: “Where’s the head of recruitment?”
“Huh? I’m sending him over.” The Vice Principal rushed to dial the intercom, “Principal, take it easy!”
“……”
There was silence in the detention room.
It was as if Celie’s sense of hearing had all but disappeared at the sound of one headmaster after another.
She stared blankly at Norton, her body shaking as if it had been electrified.
Nerves broke down completely in a flash.
This young man, the president of Norton University?!
What a joke!
And, with a strong relationship with Sinai?
Celie’s ears perked up.
What the hell was she doing?
And how out of her mind was she?
The power behind Sinai was so big that she couldn’t even imagine.
“I don’t like to follow rules.” Norton lowered his eyes slightly, “I just like to do unto others as they do unto me.”
He smiled, “Good luck with that.”
Norton pushed out and closed the door behind him.
Celie hadn’t looked back.
Not until she saw the white mist that was gradually coalescing and rising.
Little by little the white mist deepened and finally engulfed her.
Outside the door.
Ying was at the front desk, chatting with Anthony.
At the sound of her voice she turned her head: “How is it?”
“It’s fine.” Norton stubbed out his cigarette and exhaled slowly, “I’m going to the hospital first.”
I wonder if some idiot will cry when he wakes up.
Ying spoke, “Wait a minute.”
Norton stopped and turned his head.
“I heard my demon child say-” Ying Zidian nodded, “You want to be my little aunt?”
Norton: “……”
**
After a long, long time, Sinai slowly opened her eyes.
The slightly warm sunlight shone in through the window and fell on the bed, spreading a golden hue.
The curtains were drawn in general, not blinding, just enough to allow one to adjust to the slightly dim environment.
Sinai was stunned for a few seconds before consciousness dawned on her.
She was alive?
Not dead?
But how had she survived when it was clear that the unknown elements had eroded her protective suit?
Sinai’s hands groped for the bedpan and tried to sit up.
But after inhaling so many harmful chemical elements, even after being cleared out, Sinai’s body was still weak and it was difficult to get up.
“Don’t move.” A voice dropped from above her, “Lie down.”
Sinai was stunned again and with some difficulty lifted her head.
It was her familiar face, and her familiar figure.
But under his eyes was a greenish black, and his brow was thick with exhaustion.
He had always been haughty, lonely and untouchable.
She hadn’t seen him like this before.
The moment she saw Norton, Sinai’s eyes reddened at once.
The memory was also coming clear.
She remembered that she had seen a man running towards her.
It turned out that it was not a hallucination that had occurred just before she died.
Someone had really come to her rescue.
Norton bent down and whispered, “Why are you looking at me like that, don’t you recognise me?”
This worry of his was not without reason.
Fifth Moon had woken up then and lost her memory.
The structure of the human brain was very complex, and even alchemists could not study it thoroughly.
Sinai: “……”
Psycho.
She turned her head away, not wanting to pay attention to him.
Norton picked up the cup and handed it over, patiently, “You just woke up, drink some water.”
His tone was so gentle it sent a shiver down the spine.
Sinai’s nose soured and her voice was hoarse, “I can’t drink it, just have them give me the nutrient solution.”
She had dreamed that someone would come to her rescue when she was in danger.
She also dreamed that someone would be by her side as soon as she opened her eyes.
But now that it had all come true, she was very sad.
But he is still treating her so well when he is obviously getting married.
She is falling deeper and deeper into it, but he can pull away at any time.
The world courts love, and the knife laps the honey.
The first taste of it was close to cutting her tongue.
Sinai felt a little aggrieved and held back her tears.
Why should she listen to him.
And who was he to control her.
“As well.” Norton’s voice paused and faded, “You really can’t drink when you’re lying like that.”
Sinai didn’t understand what he meant by that.
She was sleepy again and slowly closed her eyes, still not giving a response.
But the next second, someone moved gently to cradle her head.
The man pressed against her lips and little by little began to ferry the water.
