Chapter 45 The Fifth Laboratory

Chapter 44

Du Zhengyi appeared in an empty corridor. He let go of the girl's arm and waited for her to regain her balance.Traveling through a certain space is as easy as breathing for him, but it is not as easy as before.He needs to restrain himself, not to use his abilities as he used to.For example, don't travel through space just to go to the kitchen to get an apple.

But the feeling of using magical abilities is so good. When traveling through space, the world becomes slow and finely detailed.He can see the trajectory of space distortion, and he can see that space is still like sliced ​​jelly, and he really feels that he is alive, and that is the form of his existence.Now, however, he uses his power sparingly, like a car that works well but can never be switched to sport mode, can only be driven slowly in eco mode, and he can feel the engine rusting every moment.

So, if Roach can handle trouble on his own, he shouldn't waste his time coming here to save him.Du Zhengyi has never been a savior, and he never thought of being a hero.

If there is indeed a hero, it should be the girl beside him.Probably the role of a hero, once an adult, is no longer suitable for playing.

The moment they walked into the hall, Du Zhengyi knew that Guan Xinyue was definitely fine, and the girl put on a provocative expression of extreme contempt on her face.He knew that this expression might have come from Guan Xinyue's heartfelt hostility to the world of magicians, or it might have been a symptom of the second middle school disease mentioned by Roach.But in this hall where the top mages gathered, two-thirds of the people had this kind of expression on their faces. When Guan Xinyue walked in, it was as if she had come home.

In the open office hall, many mages came and went in a hurry. Du Zhengyi walked through these people calmly, occasionally nodding to one or two acquaintances. step distance.He stared at her out of the corner of his eye. There were several magic experiments going on in the sandbox barrier around here, and she still maintained an indifferent expression of no curiosity.He was about to yell for her, and now if Roach was following him, he would probably have to find a chain to tie him to pass safely.

This hall is not small. They finally walked through most of it, and they were about to walk out of the hall after ten meters. Du Zhengyi realized that he was secretly relieved, turned his head and glanced at Guan Xinyue, and exchanged glances with her.At the north end of the hall is a corridor. Most of the rooms in the corridor are the offices of the archmages, but they are only formal offices. They are usually not here. Having an office here brings more honor in form than in reality. use.In the middle of the corridor is a library, and the energy crystal that protects Qionglin's defense is located in this library.

His only hope was that no one was in the library right now, and if someone was looking up materials in the library, he would have to wait a while before he could act.Everything depends on this last luck. Generally speaking, people don't often go there during the day, and the probability of his success is still very high.His premonition about Roach's accident was getting heavier and heavier. He recalled the details related to Roach, and there were doubts everywhere.He even began to regret that he didn't pursue the matter of why Luo Qi followed him. It was all because of the nonsense of Master Liu Li with a particularly high l value that attracted his attention away. He couldn't understand how someone like Liu Li who was more dignified than the inkstone could say such nonsense.

He thought too much and was distracted. When he saw a yellow-brown flash from the corner of his eye, he didn't respond.Someone yelled "Be careful!", Du Zhengyi's body sensed the sudden approach of energy, and his instinct almost screamed for danger.Without thinking, he followed his instinct and dodged suddenly, and the first thing he saw when he turned his head was to see Guan Xinyue.She stood very intelligently beside the group of mages, one hand pressed to her mouth, but she made no sound or moved anything out of the ordinary.

He was relieved, and turned to look for the thing that attacked him. Several mages rushed up and restrained the thing together.He was so lucky that he was almost scratched in the face by a baboon while walking in the most respectable office building for magicians.

"What's the matter?" he said absently.He was eager to leave here, but he couldn't show that he didn't care at all. After all, revenge and not being easy to provoke have always been the labels on the back of his head.The boy who caused the trouble had already run over to apologize. Du Zhengyi was famous on this floor, and when the man saw that it was him, his legs were so frightened that his legs went limp.

Du Zhengyi listened impatiently as he stuttered to explain the accident of the psychic beast getting out of control. They had just started experimenting with primates, and they were a bit unsure about high-intelligence animals.

Just as he was about to drive this kid away, a voice came from behind him, "Du Zhengyi? Is that you?"

Du Zheng turned his head impatiently.A gray-haired middle-aged mage was standing not far away, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, with a serious and dignified expression.

"Teacher Zuo Yu." Du Zhengyi had to stop. Zuo Yu is a colleague of his teacher. I heard that he was promoted this year and is the person in charge here.

"Come to see your teacher?" The archmage walked straight to him.

"Let's check some information." Du Zhengyi said, subconsciously glanced at Guan Xinyue.She probably realized that she should be wary of older mages, turned her back and merged into the middle of several girls who were talking about the magic coefficient, and opened a further distance from Du Zhengyi.

The young mage finally got his baboon back, Zuo Yu glared at him sternly, and the guy ran away without waiting for him to speak.Zuo Yu watched his back and shook his head, turned his head and looked Du Zhengyi up and down, his eyes were much gentler, as if he was looking at his own child. "It's been a while since I saw you, Mr. Pei is still calling you around? I remember you graduated this year, so come to our department."

"I still have to talk to Teacher Pei," Du Zhengyi said. Compared with the serious archmage, his attitude was rather cold. "You are not short of manpower here, and there are many new faces this year."

Zuo Yu shook his head with an annoyed smile, "I'm talking about this with Mr. Pei recently. There are too few good mages."

"How do you say that?" Du Zheng didn't want to talk too much, but he didn't want to leave immediately. "Aren't they willing to come to the Experimental Department?"

"There are some differences between me and Mr. Pei." Zuo Yu didn't answer him directly, his expression was indifferent, showing a little hesitation, "I hope to be more cautious from the beginning of enrollment, raise the admission requirements, and have some magician ratings If it is too low, even if you have some magical ability, it is not suitable for admission."

"Why?" Du Zhengyi thought of Roach, and subconsciously defended, "Some magician apprentices may have obstacles in the release of their own abilities, and they will gradually overcome the obstacles after years of study."

"But it's limited after all." Zuo Yu said, what he said was the truth, and Du Zhengyi couldn't refute it.

Zuo Yu continued, "What's more, these students are destined to go to the other side to survive. They naturally tend to be human, and they promote the human way of life in school, which has a bad influence on other students. One of you got the qualification of a first-level mage in the last session. Students, directly rejected the recruitment of the mage committee, and went to open a restaurant there. At that time, this situation was unimaginable."

However, Du Zhengyi thought that Zuo Yu's "that time" was a terrible time for human beings. The war was not completely over, and the ground was full of devastation. At that time, if any mage wanted to live in human society, it would be unimaginable.

"Many of your classmates also have the same idea. It is a bit difficult for us to recruit and execute mages. Even if we come here, many of them still have mobile phones in their pockets. I deliberately blocked the entire Qionglin electronic equipment. .”

Du Zhengyi had nothing to say, he never cared about what other people were doing, and he was very alienated from his classmates.Moreover, he had a mobile phone in his pocket.

"You are a rare child with a sense of responsibility." Zuo Yuyu said earnestly, "Although I can't talk to Mr. Pei, we still have something in common. I hope you can talk to Mr. Pei."

"What did my teacher say?" he asked.

"Mr. Pei always wants to give people a chance." Zuo Yu showed respect, but also disapproved. "Even if we give those children a chance, so what? After all, few students are willing to work hard to break through their bottlenecks. Most of them are not diligent enough. The lazy ones only know how to play games that consume human will."

Du Zhengyi didn't say a word. If diligence is a virtue, he knew that Zuo Yu was just being diligent. If Pei Shu wasn't a person willing to give people a chance, Zuo Yu's talent would have no hope of getting to where he is today. .When Du Zhengyi was 15 years old, he had already played the game of testing Zuo Yu's ability. Zuo Yu was like an open book in front of him, and this book was written in pinyin and illustrations. worth mentioning.

What's the point of judging others by your own standards?Zuo Yu's value is hard work, but hard work is not the most important thing in this world, but neither is intelligence, nor is magical ability.So Pei Shu was always willing to give others a chance, and was willing to wait to see other possibilities. Du Zhengyi knew this was wise.

But Zuo Yu admired him and regarded them as a kind of people.Zuo Yu patted his shoulder and changed the subject, "I heard from Liu Ziyu that they assigned you a partner with problems."

Du Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and was aroused interest, "What Liu Ziyu said? How did she know?" She is also a student of Pei Shu and has been working here. She is a girl who is only interested in innovative magic, and he has not talked to her much. have spoken.It was strange enough to hear her gossip, let alone things she wasn't supposed to know.

"When your partner was arrested here, he went to pester her." Zuo Yu said dissatisfied, "Li Xu's things are getting worse and worse. I don't know why he wants to arrest a child with no ability. Qionglin is here."

"How does Teacher Zuo know that he is incapable?"

"His parents came, but Li Xu in the security department detained the child and prevented him from meeting his parents." Zuo Yu said dissatisfied. "I happen to know his parents. Dr. Luo and his wife are the most outstanding doctors. It's a pity that this child is not like them."

"Dr. Luo and his wife are both doctors?" Du Zhengyi asked in surprise, his voice lowered, "Both their husband and wife are mind masters?"

This time it was Zuo Yu's turn to be surprised, "The list of masters of mind is confidential, how do you know?"

This is tantamount to an affirmative answer, but Du Zhengyi also knows that Zuo Yu has never regarded him as an outsider, and Zuo Yu has never even regarded him as a student. He always regards him as a colleague, and even as a future successor to Pei hub people.Although a master like Zuo Yu is stubborn and difficult to deal with, he also has a sincere side.

But these were not what Du Zhengyi wanted to consider. He had a thought that had been on his mind for a long time.Although Zuo Yu is not a great genius, his diligence also gave him a wealth of knowledge. "Mr. Zuo," Du Zhengyi said eagerly, the sincerity of asking for advice made his attitude much more sincere, "Mr. Zuo, I heard that telepathy is a rare ability, and it is often a generation after generation in families with this ability. appear. But if both husband and wife are telepaths, then the chances of having such a child are very high. Isn't that true?"

"That's right." Zuo Yu said with a little surprise. It seemed that Du Zhengyi, who had been drowsy all the time, suddenly had no lack of sleep, which surprised him a little. "When Dr. Luo mentioned that their only son lacked abilities, it was a pity. Although I don't know how you got the news, Dr. Luo and his wife are dragons and phoenixes among people, and they are almost the best mind mages in this era. Yes, and helped Qionglin solve many problems."

"Roach said... their family's spiritual ratings are very low..." Du Zhengyi murmured, the tingling feeling in his heart suddenly became clear, and a clear trajectory was drawn, pointing to an unbelievable but obvious Vain conclusion.

"What are you talking about?" Zuo Yu asked suspiciously. Seeing that Du Zhengyi didn't come back to his senses, he didn't think he was disobedient. He shrugged and guessed, "Are you talking about their children? Telepaths They all have a kind of ambivalence, the privacy of ordinary people has no place to hide in front of them, but they often regard telepathy as their greatest privacy. However, this is not difficult to understand, right? "

He looked at Du Zhengyi with some concern, and he often heard those young people talk about Du Zhengyi's high rebellious tendencies, as if he couldn't understand the ordinary feelings and privacy of many people.Although he didn't believe these words, he was still worried about Du Zhengyi.

"Yes." Du Zhengyi answered him vaguely, "I still have an experiment result that I need to confirm with Liu Ziyu. I'll go to her and ask."

"Wait," Zuo Yu said, stopping Du Zhengyi.

Du Zheng raised a little vigilance in his heart.

As a result, Zuo Yu looked at him and asked, "Is your body okay recently? Your face doesn't look very good."

Du Zheng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Zuo Yu to care about him, he was a little at a loss for a while.

"Fortunately, there's no problem." He said vaguely, nodded slightly to Zuo Yu, turned and walked away.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Yu stopped him again, "Since you have been a partner with Dr. Luo's child, do you want to go and see him? I think no matter what happens, Master Li will come to you for questioning sooner or later. Anyway, you I also came here today, why don't you go talk to him directly and ask what's going on."

Du Zhengyi's face gradually became tired, he blinked and said, "What does that have to do with me?"

Zuo Yu sighed, as if he still wanted to tell him about the relationship between people, but he had already walked away.
