Chapter 101 The First Laboratory

Du Zhengyi took Roach to the end of the teleportation by the old moat five kilometers away from the office. This place was opened up as a green space along the river. Trees and dust-proof bushes were planted on the side adjacent to the asphalt road. It is the moat in the old days, and now it has become an inconspicuous muddy river.

Du Zhengyi let go of Roach's arm, looked around at the place he had chosen to stay temporarily, it looked like a small park, not far away there was a group of elderly humans in uniforms dancing bright pink fans, sanitation workers were on the road Clean up the garbage in an orderly manner.It was gray in the distance, cars were passing by behind the tree wall, and occasionally some people honked their horns against the rules.All of this is both mundane and peaceful, as if the confrontation he had with a venerable in the magical world just now never existed at all.

Even when he was standing here, recalling the moment when the sword was on the verge, it felt like a lifetime away.But his fingertips are still numb now. He has gathered enormous power just now. If he really releases these powers and puts them into the battle against the venerable, he will continue to release more power, as many as he is now The body has been unable to bear the strength.He wasn't sure what he'd just passed, perhaps a death god in a gray skirt and a gray horse.

"Hey!" Roach exclaimed excitedly in front of him, now that his face had returned to normal, he was glad he could still see that his mouth was a normal size.His smug face was shining, his eyes were full of happiness, he was so smug, he asked him anxiously like a monkey, "Am I awesome? Am I awesome?"

Du Zheng looked at him expressionlessly, but he couldn't really say much.He was trying to restrain the aftereffects of gathering too much strength, his hands were numb, his chest was palpitating severely, it felt a bit like he just drank two liters of espresso.A bitter taste rolled over his heart. He still remembered the time when he used his ability without any scruples, and he still remembered the feeling of majestic power rolling over his hands. Now he has just opened the gate of power, and the result is already like a useless person trembling as well.If Roach hadn't miraculously terminated the battle, he would have been in danger.

Roach waited a while, didn't get any candy, and put on a slumped face like a child's, ranging from unhappy to resentful, looking like a child who arrives at Disney only to find that the playground is closed due to heavy rain.

"Do you still want the pennant?" Du Zhengyi tried hard to restrain the slight trembling caused by palpitations.

His ability to control the external appearance of his body is very good, and Roach was too excited, and his mood of seeking praise has long been beyond words, and finally got Du Zhengyi's tactful affirmation, his whole body is like a cat that has eaten catnip. It can be seen that Du Zhengyi is abnormal.

He grinned for a moment, then asked, "Am I witty?"

Du Zheng smiled, feeling that he could no longer follow Roach on this ignorant and young route. He turned his gaze away from Roach and looked at the muddy moat.

Roach has always been good at observing words and expressions. Seeing Du Zhengyi's solemn expression, he became serious himself, and immediately started to analyze.

"Brother, what's the matter with you? Are you a bit greedy? That's right, you have been working for Qionglin since you were not an adult, right? They pulled it out... They turned their faces and ruthless, they are really a bunch of old fools."

But Du Zhengyi noticed that after Luo Qi finished speaking, he patted his mouth in surprise, with a strange look on his face, and didn't know what he was going to say, but it can be seen that no matter what he wanted to say, it didn't matter what he said. good words.

Luo Qi rubbed his nose, looked at Du Zhengyi as if nothing happened, and continued, "They didn't let Liu Li come, I think Fan Shi must want to make trouble."

Du Zhengyi didn't speak, and quietly listened to Roach's experience outside after he entered, and the feeling of excessive caffeine intake gradually subsided.

Roach roughly finished talking about how he was bullied by that stupid, black and thick mage in a tone that was almost complaining, and then highly praised his witty and brilliant actions later, and excitedly talked about his successful experience of calling the police for the first time.He had wanted a chance to call the police for a long time. The opportunity to find the police is not every day. He also experienced the live broadcast for the first time. Although there were no audiences at all, he still frightened those frustrated people. stunned.

He kept talking and laughing until his voice became hoarse in the end, but Du Zhengyi listened expressionlessly all the time. He felt ashamed, so he became serious.Showing a seriousness matching his age, he asked the crux of the matter, "What exactly does Fan Shi want to do? Is he and Li Xu in the same group?"

"Probably not." Du Zhengyi said, "But he represents Qionglin's current attitude. I am now a street mouse."

Luo Qi's expression froze, and he asked quickly, "What the hell is Pei Shu doing?"

"He is retreating in the Lonely Mountain Temple. The time of retreat is not completely fixed, but according to the usual practice, it usually takes at least three months." Du Zhengyi said, this time speaking honestly.Even Roach realized this, and raised his eyes to look at him with a hint of relief in his expression.It is said that the mind master can see the truth even without relying on magic, and now he kind of believes this rumor.

They were standing by the railing by the river, he watched Roach stretch out a finger unconsciously poking on the railing, and said while thinking, "Can I ask what Pei Shu is doing in retreat? Doing academic research? ? Then there’s no need to be so extreme, right? He squats in a cave to write a thesis, can’t he even answer a student’s phone?”

"It's an experiment by a mind mage." Du Zhengyi said, he hesitated for a moment, but seeing Roach's instantly frustrated expression, he really didn't want to let Roach down.If the time he stays in this world is limited after all, and the return date of his path is fixed, why should he really bear the responsibility of the world behind him?For whom was he keeping the secret, and whose guard was he?

He didn't want to owe anyone, and didn't want to be too deeply tied to anyone, but Roach no longer had parents, and even his legal position in this world was almost wiped out. He saved his life, Even use him as an anchor of consciousness.Roach is like the innocent goblin holding a spindle in the story, spinning a thin golden thread, ignorantly entwining them densely with the golden thread, thinking that he has obtained a precious friendship, but he has no idea of ​​the ending of fate. is ruthless.After Du Zhengyi died, how Roach would remedy his unbalanced consciousness world, as long as he thought of the difficult situation Roach had to go through at that time, he would fall into guilt.

"Do you know what is the Temple of the Lonely Mountain?" Du Zhengyi said, "It is the temple that I guard, the temple protected by the guards of the Lonely Mountain?"

Roach raised his head in surprise, "Isn't that a symbolic ancient totem or something?"

"That counts." Du Zhengyi said, his body relaxed a little, and he leaned back against the railing by the river, "There are many secrets in the lonely mountain, some of which I can tell, and some of which I will never tell." What I want to say, even if it is to you, I won’t say it.”

Roach straightened up happily, his face was shining brightly, as long as Du Zhengyi gave him a little secret, it would be like a deposit in exchange for a friend.

"But I can tell you about the Temple of the Lonely Mountain, because this part may be related to you in the future." Du Zhengyi said, "The Temple of the Lonely Mountain is a laboratory of thoughts. The cave located deep in the mountain is isolated from the world and relies on the mountain Isolate the radiation from the outside world, maintain a fixed temperature, humidity, and many subtle parameters. This laboratory is used to perform the most subtle and complex mind operations in the world."

"So awesome? And so..." Roach considered his choice of words, "So realistic? I originally thought that the Lonely Mountain Temple was an ancient relic, where His Holiness performed traditional rituals, such as meditation. The result turned out to be A laboratory? Our race of mages is very pragmatic."

"Your father, Archmage Lorian, is summoned there every year to assist Pei Shu." Du Zhengyi whispered, somewhat reluctantly.

Sure enough, Roach's expression changed, his happiness was like a crunchy shell, which shattered with a poke.
