Leader of the Ark Raiders

After bidding farewell to everyone, Shen Cangye returned to the student dormitory by himself.

"Academician Wendy, I'm back!"

As soon as the door was opened, Shen Cangye called out.

No one in the house responded.

"Wendy?" Shen Cangye wondered.

He went into the living room.

There was no one in the house.

Maybe Wendy just went shopping.he thinks.

Shen Cangye went back to the room and sat down, opened the social software casually.

I haven't had time to read the backlog of information in the past few days, and the news has already reached 999+.

He patiently turned over one by one.

When seeing the news from Pavel.

Shen Cangye's hand that quickly flipped the screen stopped.

Around the afternoon of January [-], Pavel sent him a message.

[Old Shen, you asked me to investigate the matter about Mentor Obaid, I really tried my best, but I only found out so little. 】

【These are just rumors, but I will tell you everything I know. 】

[That’s right, the main suspect is Obaid’s wife.She is also a teacher at the University of Catalona, ​​but from a certain day, she disappeared. 】

[I didn't contact any colleagues, and even the resignation procedures were handled by Obaid... Obaid just said that his wife was seriously ill and unable to work. 】

[But no one has seen his wife since then, she has never been to the hospital or the pharmacy, it seems as if she has disappeared. 】

[Not long after, Obaid suddenly appeared with two children of four or five years old.But his wife has only been ill for a year, and there was no sign of pregnancy before. 】

[By the way, some people say that he hasn’t aged at all since he came to school. This matter is more subjective, so I won’t comment on it. This is a photo of him attending church ten years ago. You can take a look for yourself. 】

[Probably that's all, they're all rumors, and I can't rule out the suspicion of embellishment. The more I investigate, the more terrifying I feel... This tutor is really a bit strange. 】

【Speaking of which, why don't you ask Wendy about this matter?She should be more familiar with his own tutor, right? 】

Shen Cangye clicked on the photo sent by Pavel.

The location of the photo appears to be a church.

In the photo is a blond man.

This man was probably Obaid.

Shen Cangye looked down and frowned.

——A badge can be seen pinned to Obaid's chest.

The mark of Deep Sea Church.

I don't know why he would wear this esoteric religion badge that is not often shown.

Maybe it's for the connection, maybe it's something else...

But Shen Cangye was sure that it was the emblem of the Deep Sea Church.

After closing Pavel's chat box, Shen Cangye planned to notify Wendy immediately.

It had been a few days, and Wendy's news had long been submerged in a sea of ​​other news.

Shen Cangye opened Wendy's chat box.

Xiao Hailong was still greeting him a few days ago, asking him if he would go home for dinner.

Later, I asked him why he didn't reply to the message and whether he was busy.

— until the last message of today.

she says:

[Dr. Shen, Mentor Obaid will happen to be in Catalona these few days. He asked me to meet and talk about the completion of the project. 】

[I didn't see your reply a few days ago, I guess you may be busy, so I won't bother you! 】

[I went by myself, remember to message me when you come back.I haven't had dinner with you for a long time, and I miss you. 】

Shen Cangye wanted to curse on the spot.

What are you afraid of!

He regretted it in his heart.

If he had contacted Wendy yesterday, he probably wouldn't have made things like this.

Shen Cangye immediately called Wendy.

But no one answered.

now.

Wendy's phone was in her bag, and she was on vibrate.

It is her habit to turn her mobile phone to vibrate when meeting people.

Obaid is infrequently active in Catalona.

Even so, he has his place in Catalona.

This is a set of villas located in the mountains.

The location is remote and undisturbed.

At this time, Wendy and Obaid were sitting in the study of the villa, chatting about the project.

397. Every Story Has a Mad Scientist

In order not to interrupt the conversation, Wendy did not bring Xiaoye, the bionic sea dragon, into the study.

——What she doesn't understand is.

Her beloved bionic sea dragon Xiaoye is currently being nailed to the kitchen wall by mucus of unknown composition.

Opposite Xiaoye, at the kitchen counter, stood a...creature.

Its body resembles that of a mummy, with a vaguely human face without a nose.

Its arms seemed to be leather over bone.

Disgusting mucus kept pouring out of its mouth.

. . . it was covered with Mrs. Obaid's clothes.

This poor woman did not successfully complete the transformation from Agor to Haisi.

She couldn't maintain the normal shape of the Agor for a long time.

Therefore, except for the necessary time to meet with others, she... no, it—it can only maintain a form similar to the xenophobia.

"Lady Obaid" made tea and came out of the kitchen with the saucer in hand.

The moment it stepped into the living room, its appearance quickly changed, turning into a human.

It's just that the bumps on the cheeks that rise and fall from time to time are still a little inconsistent.

Xiaoye only felt fear in this creature.

When it flew into the kitchen and tried to pour water for its owner, it was blocked by this creature.

It can do nothing.

He could only stare blankly at the monster walking towards the room where its master was, step by step.

※※※

Shen Cangye glanced at the watermelon that was still charging.

Several calls he made to Wendy didn't get through.

Obaid's address can be found on the official website of the University of Catalona.

But there was only his residential address in Madreno.

Shen Cangye didn't know where his stronghold in Catalona was.

At this time, the watermelon regained its momentum.

The bionic sea dragon rushed over, bit Shen Cangye's clothes, and wanted to drag it out.

"What's wrong?" Shen Cangye waved the watermelon away, "Stop making trouble, now is not the time!"

Then, he seemed to think of something.

Small leaves and watermelon will have a strange resonance.

Could it be... Xiaoye is...

"Watermelon, can you locate Xiaoye?" Shen Cangye asked.

He subconsciously called Wendy again, hoping to contact her.

woo... woo... woo...

The vibrating sound of the mobile phone can be clearly heard in the huge study.

Wendy couldn't help but turn her gaze to the bag placed aside.

Her phone kept vibrating.

——Maybe Dr. Shen is back, she thought to herself.

Wendy wanted to finish talking with Obaid quickly.

All she could think about was to hurry back to the dormitory and have lunch with Shen Cangye.

"What's the matter?" asked Obaid. "Is it urgent?"

Obaid's face was as handsome as it had been in his youth, unchanged.

His eyes were light blue, revealing a strange look as if they had been soaked in chemicals.

"Nothing." Wendy smiled and shook her head.

She continued what she just said, "As you can see, mentor Obaid. My independent project in Catalona has been completed, and I will leave the University of Catalonia in about a month. About your pharmacology The project I learned, I want to hand over to you today."

With that said, Wendy turned on the laptop, "I have sent you the final report, have you read it?"

"I've seen it, there are basically no problems, you did it perfectly," Obaid said, "You are leaving Iberia?"

"Yes." Wendy nodded.

Thinking of the guy who tried every means to bring her to Rhodes Island, she couldn't help but smile again.

"Why not stay?" asked Obaid.

Wendy said: "I am going to join a pharmaceutical company, and today I will say goodbye to you by the way."

She still had a little hope in her heart, and asked again: "Marianna... is she okay?"

"Don't worry, she's fine." Obaid smiled. "She has fulfilled her wish, and now she no longer needs bionic prosthetics."

After a pause, Obaid continued: "Dr. Wendy, I heard that your family's physique is naturally weak. Have you ever thought about wishing to have a strong body and eternal life?"

Wendy frowned suspiciously, "I don't quite understand what you're talking about."

"You have finished this experimental project, but you still don't understand it." Obaid pointed to a picture on the final report, "Unlock the lock of telomerase, prevent cells from dying, and allow organisms to continuously replace themselves, Adapt to the environment..."

Wendy still looked puzzled.

"—until immortality is achieved." Obaid stood up.

He raised his hands to the ceiling, "Let me tell you now, this is something within my ability."

He closed Wendy's laptop and put his hand on the desk in front of Wendy.

Obaid looked straight into the eyes of the Agor girl, "You have a good brain, Dr. Wendy. I also need an assistant, so I mentioned your matter to the bishop, and he liked you very much, so he decided to give you an assistant who doesn't need one. Through the trials, you can gain the chance of eternal life..."

The inexplicable sense of oppression and weirdness made Wendy stand up instinctively.
