Ascension journey - 726. Chapter 721-The Interview

The residual burnt smell after the burning of building materials, the pungent poisonous gas left by the violent reaction of chemical products, and the torn and tattered expensive instruments…

Cheng Bin, dressed in a smudged white lab coat and standing in the open laboratory like the scene of a fire, slowly recovered from his trance.

Looking up, a large number of people wearing gas masks and special police uniforms are cautiously moving in the laboratory. They observe, photograph, and sort all kinds of broken things, seeming to be searching for clues.

Cheng Bin, who was not wearing any protective equipment, and his face covered with black and gray hair, stood here quite out of place.

Fragmented memories slowly surfaced in my heart, and gradually weaved into clear veins-Cheng Bin opened his mouth silently, and squeezed the lips that were almost split due to anxiety and thirst.

Yes… this is the world he was originally born in, and now he is in the laboratory where he had just been accidentally invaded.

Is this going home? It’s…it’s like a lifetime.

No, it’s not like. Strictly speaking, he is indeed separated from his past self by at least one trial world.

It’s just that, the current self, is it the sub-body of Cheng Bin from the World Tree Pantheon covering the past self, or the Cheng Bin who originally existed in this “home” and received additional memory fragments?

Cheng Bin, who didn’t rely solely on his own power and knowledge to return to his hometown, had no way of judging, but he didn’t care much.

The miracle that was once so longing for, even if the soul is sacrificed, has come to him. Now he only needs to stretch out his hand…

The unfamiliar male voice from behind recalled Cheng Bin’s slightly vain mood of passing away——

“I’m sorry to see this happen.” A flat-headed man in his 30s and wearing a filter mask was standing behind Cheng Bin. He clasped his hands on his lower abdomen, and rubbed his left and right thumbs unconsciously against his fingertips. The tone should be as plain as possible, “You haven’t realized what the true value of your research will bring to you. You should agree to cooperate with us at the first time…”

After a pause, the man’s plain tone revealed a deliberate mood: “Science knows no borders, but scientists all have nationalities… Dr. Cheng.”

Hearing the term full of doubts and ridicule, Cheng Bin, who was gradually regaining the real sense of the world, was stunned. The cause and effect of laboratory-related events were converging and fermenting in his heart at this moment, and he faintly touched his face with complex causal context with his mind. There was a subtle expression of emotion on it-

The name Dr. Cheng itself contains quite complex meanings.

In terms of the national system he currently lives in, the Ph.D. is only the starting point for scientific research. If you want to rely on scientific research in your life from now on, there are still several classes on Dr. Mengxin’s head to climb.

Except for the onlookers who don’t know the truth, those in the circle who call him Dr. Cheng, it’s hard to say how much sincere respect there is in the words——

After all, he is an open-ended person who relies on extraordinary abilities to overcome countless obstacles to obtain research results. Some of his behaviors are closer to some businessmen who guide the implementation of scientific research results. On the road of scientific research, he does not have any visible climbing accumulation trajectory, and he is not recognized in the circle. How many relevant articles with actual influence have been published on the platform of.

Even setting aside the contradictions caused by issues such as funding status, seniors in the scientific community who have truly devoted their entire life to scientific research are still dissatisfied with him. After all, his research field is the human body. Any link in medicine that has not been fully verified will give him a conscience. The people yelled at him, let alone his exaggerated leap forward?

For many people, the research projects led by Cheng Bin are gadgets that are close to castles in the air and black technology, and their internal logic is naturally questioned.

However, the prolonged cell lifespan and cancer cure effect brought about by research are undeniable. Even if the results have not been verified by time, the world will chase and use countless profit awards to push Cheng Bin to the forefront.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Cheng Bin, who was considered by many to be lucky to master something, after refusing some “in-depth cooperation”, the laboratory was invaded.

The medical university located in the capital is naturally within the planning of the macro security system. It is hard to say whether there is any inner ghost doing things like this happening inside it.

For example, the man in a suit who is faintly mocking him behind him and represents the will of a certain pharmaceutical group and scientific research institute that he has refused to cooperate with, his role is definitely more than just a spectator who gloats after the incident.

But no matter who it is, I am afraid that this time the accident will bring about what kind of results, right?

Silent cities, mutant monsters rampaging between reinforced concrete, atmospheric viruses, dark and dirty laboratories, lunatics with antibody obsessions…

The gloomy memories of the doomsday that emerged from the bottom of his heart made Cheng Bin’s floating mood quiet again. Ignoring the surrounding noise, he pulled his white coat slightly, and fumbled in the inner pocket of his clothes.

The sharp touch of the fingertips made Cheng Bin’s hand pause, and then he took out what he had fumbled–

A touch-screen phone with a black case and a simple golden arrow carved with exquisite patterns.

After rubbing the arrow with his fingertips for a while, Cheng Bin exhaled, retracted the arrow, and turned his attention to his mobile phone.

Unlock the screen and open the communication log.

Dad… Mom… Aunt Wang… Xinxin…

The most recent call was recorded yesterday, but to Cheng Bin, the last time he heard the voices of his relatives seemed to be a matter of his previous life.

The finger placed on the dial was unable to press for a long time. What emerged in Cheng Bin’s mind was the pain of his loved ones being infected, dying and mutating after the end of the world, and the comforting words spoken to him under the pain——

“…It’s not your fault…Be optimistic and live well…”

Click——

Cobweb-like cracks burst and spread on the phone case, and the screen plunged into darkness after a brief garbled screen.

The mania and anxiety precipitated in the depths of the soul poured out, and the crimson humanoid figure emerged from the overlap with Cheng Bin, turned and leaned his hands to grab the head of the chattering man in the suit.

The huge power pinched a visible dent on the head of the man in the suit, and the man lifted by the air attracted the horrified gaze of the surrounding crowd, but then everything in the world appeared infinite ghosts, reflected in the soul vortex of the crimson king’s eyebrows Down into a blurred chaos.

Confusion, pain, complacency, contempt, hesitation, fear… the faces of men in suits with different emotions and encounters rise and fall in the chaos. Numerous chains of cause and effect extend towards the upper and lower ends of the time axis, and all possibilities converge into something that mortals cannot understand. Picture scroll.

Cheng Bin stretched out his right hand and picked out the focus of the infinite line of cause and effect that implicated the lives of hundreds of millions of people from this chaotic picture.

The chaotic haze faded, the burned laboratory full of pungent smell disappeared, and the bright, white, intact laboratory reappeared in front of Cheng Bin’s eyes.

The virus preservation solution at minus tens of degrees Celsius was flowing in a sealed transparent container. Cheng Bin ignored the surprised sight of Researcher Zhou and the frostbite of his right hand, and looked carefully at what should have been hidden in the instrument against the light.

The power of the Crimson King·Soul Song wraps around this container, following the main branches of this doomsday. The past has been rewritten and the future has been distorted. Some people’s life links have been cut, and more people’s life trajectories have been continued. …

“…The power of the Scarlet King is concentrated on the current world line, and he has not observed and interfered with more world lines. According to the teaching materials given there, the time line is only a description of the current state of the world line, except for the illusory history. In addition, it is impossible to have multiple timelines at the same time, and compared to the editing timeline, the current performance of the Crimson King seems to be more inclined to split the possibility and trace the cause and effect… From what perspective does this stand-in work? ?”

What kind of power does the Crimson King have after awakening as a soul-suppressing song? Guijia Cheng Bin as one of the carriers has not yet unearthed much, but it is already easy to destroy the source of the tragedy of the doomsday from the past.

——In any case, the miracle I desire has indeed been achieved, so as the price of miracle realization, I should also do…what I want to do?

Cheng Bin, the young red dragon version, didn’t expect him to do anything right away. Instead, he gave quite ample growth time and provided a platform for him to explore the direction of growth.

The intense and stimulating infinite trial suddenly returned to the daily life at home, and Cheng Bin, who had achieved the miracle, fell into a goalless state of confusion for a while.

After half the payment, Cheng Bin’s container and the frostbite on his hand disappeared in the tremor of time. He erased the black technology that he had realized and exposed by the leap forward, pulled out the timeline of normal academic research, and went home to visit. I asked my parents.

Unlike Crimson King’s original timeline editing that was stingy and accurate, the local reality rewriting, the current reality change operation by Cheng Bin will reverse the timeline shape along the time axis, and the profound impact produced by the same interference is not an order of magnitude at all. , But also caused a lot of confusion in Cheng Bin’s memory and self-recognition.

However, these are all obstacles that must be overcome in the growth process. In order to save everything, Cheng Bin, who doesn’t even care about sacrificing his soul, is not caught by this self-contradictory ethical logic.

After handling some chores related to relatives and friends, work and business, Cheng Bin, who arranged his life trajectory, officially triggered the key from Red Dragon Casa in his free time.

An unfamiliar and complicated information flow emerged in Cheng Bin’s consciousness-it was a bizarre high-dimensional service platform called the “Knowledge Seeker System”. Looking at the long logo, it was already in the third stage of the public beta. I don’t know how many versions. Things out.

Cheng Bin, who had an inexplicable infinite space trial panel, namely visual perception, after pondering the various functions that the seeker system opened to him, he opened the flashing taskbar in the system with his mind.

The taskbar is mentioned in the function description. Generally speaking, ordinary life who comes into contact with the seeker system will not encounter any mandatory tasks that must be done, and the task publisher and task content tend to be deep secrets from the seeker system. Regarding, low-level system users will not have access to those things.

But Cheng Bin’s treatment is obviously different. There are already several conspicuous items in his taskbar that are circulating with luxurious dark gold——

——Main task: Traceability and completion of the stand-in system (Phase 1) (not opened)——

Description: Tracing the life trajectory of the group of trialists in the outer trial world under the “substitute reinforcement system” in the domain of the infinite master, and intervene according to the specific circumstances. At the same time, during this process, locate the beacon “Arrow” and cooperate with the incarnation of the dragon god Io to capture the traces of the immortal lizard and Dr. Cheng.

Reward: Several redemption points, basic permissions for the seeker system management platform, derived from Dior’s special research materials.

Remarks: Differentiating the tester is a necessary part to deal with the Lord of Infinity, and you have to play if you are unhappy (help me find my good friend who was taken away by the Lord of Infinity~Thank you~——Fu).

——Main task: Sub-item of the existence verification research of the Supreme Sage “The Arrow of Time” (Phase 1) (not opened)——

Description: Different high-dimensional beings have completely different perspectives of the universe. As part of the avatar system and holding the power of the Scarlet King, you can make useful supplements in the research on the rules of information progression between time slices in the world. Please work hard. To improve their own level in all aspects, while exploring the deep compatibility of the seeker system and the stand-in system, until the basic requirements for participating in the formal experiment are met.

Rewards: Several redemption points, advanced access to the knowledge seeker system management platform, and first-level qualification certification on the research side of the quantum avatar cluster.

Note: Does the Most High Sage really exist? Is it really a conscious life? ——World Tree Red Dragon Casa.

……

After watching the series of extremely remote and very tall main missions, and the optional side missions of unknown significance, Cheng Bin remained silent for a long, long time.

——Well, anyway, the thing about a certain “Dr. Cheng” is actually his own business, and so is the problem of the substitute system. Sooner or later he has to take the initiative to do it. This is indeed regarded as “to be yourself” What you want to do”.

But certain main tasks…Ignore those tall rhetoric, isn’t it just calling him to be a guinea pig?

Cheng Bin, who turned off the seeker system, sighed quietly-it seems that the return to the ordinary peace of daily life is only temporary, and his future days will be wonderful…
