The end of the world starts with failing the exam

"Ha ha!"

"I'm really confused. It's the end of the world and these bastards still dare to make fun of me. Are they really afraid that I will confront them offline..."

Seeing that Chen Jing was a little angry, Jiang Jingzhe smiled and quickly comforted him.

"Oh, this world is already fucking over. It's not like you don't understand the concept of entertaining yourself to death..."

Just then, the elevator stopped.

As soon as the shabby elevator door opened, a middle-aged man with slightly curly hair and a uniform squeezed in.

He didn't care at all about Jegertos who was drawing his sword beside him. He took Chen Jing's hand and started shaking it crazily.

"Mr. Chen Jing, you are finally here!!"

"Hello..." Chen Jing was a little dizzy from being shaken by him, but he didn't forget to wink at Jagetos, meaning not to do anything yet. He knew he was one of his own just by looking at the uniform he was wearing.

"I'm Dr. Pickman."

This man who looked very similar to a certain Iron Man actor began to introduce himself, and there was a kind of creepy fanaticism on his old and handsome face.

"Welcome to Base One!"

Chapter 224: Foundation Tour Group

Dr. Pickman is a native of Europe.

According to Jiang Jingzhe’s helpful introduction, he was a veteran figure who came into the [Aether Association] when it was first established.

All previous research topics on "extraordinary beings" were led by him, and 80% of the papers within the association were written by him.

"This is an exaggeration..." Dr. Pickman's Chinese is good, and he can't even hear the slightest accent. It's standard Mandarin. "I just did something that I could do...it's not worth mentioning..."

"Don't underestimate Dr. Pickman. He was a strange person back then."

"Strange man?"

"Yes, before he joined the association, he didn't have a Ph.D. in physics and biology at all. He didn't even go to a regular university for further studies... I heard that he was originally a painter."

"painter?"

There is still an endless corridor outside the elevator. Except for the exponential increase in the number of surveillance cameras installed on the ceiling, it looks the same as the corridor upstairs. It is terrifyingly quiet.

"That's right." Pickman held Chen Jing's arm tightly, as if he was afraid that this red-faced "candidate zero" would escape, and he couldn't even speak with excitement, "I didn't like science. It’s philosophy and art…”

"Then why did you change your career?" Chen Jing calmly twitched his arm twice, only to find that the ghost guy was holding him tightly.

"Fun."

Dr. Pickman said excitedly, the enthusiastic expression on his face still unabated.

"Extraordinary, ancient, evolutionary... all of these unfolded before my eyes like a painting by Van Gogh. I saw the true meaning of life, so I had no choice but to join in!"

"..."

Chen Jing looked back at Jiang Jingzhe and asked her silently with his eyes.

"Has this Doctor always been this scary?"

Jiang Jingzhe obviously understood. He nodded silently and took a step to the side to distance himself.

"Mr. Chen Jing! Let me introduce this base to you!"

"OK, thanks……"

In fact, Dr. Pickman's introduction did not contain many new information points. What Chen Jing heard from Li Mobai was almost the same as what he said.

But Chen Jing could also see it.

Dr. Pickman's introduction was official and polite.

If nothing unexpected happens.

What he was thinking about now was probably...Yegetos and Baiage.

That's right.

Chen Jing had noticed early on that Pickman seemed to be concentrating on talking to him, but his eyes would glance at the heads of Yagertos and Baiage from time to time, as if he had discovered a new world. The excitement was unbearable. metaphor.

"Mr. Chen Jing! Me! Can I make a small request?!"

"Tell me first."

"Can I touch them..." Pickman looked very nervous, as if he was afraid of Chen Jing's rejection, "Please! Just let me touch them with my hands! I'm really curious about what these Familia creatures are!"

Chen Jing mentally consulted Bai Aji for his opinion, and then looked at Yegetos.

After getting an answer that no one wanted, he said...

"It's okay to touch the armor, but not its head."

"I didn't say..." Jegertos looked at Chen Jing blankly.

"Thank you! Thank you! That's enough!"

I have to say that Pickman was really brave. After getting Chen Jing's permission, he directly touched Jegertos's abdomen...

Then his whole body jumped up and down like a madman.

"Yes! This kind of touch! It's so powerful!"

"No... how can this be said to be powerful..." Chen Jing was dumbfounded for a moment, thinking to himself that Yergetos' armor felt like dead pork. How could this be powerful?

"Let's go faster! Mr. Chen Jing! I'll take you to see the core of this base! That palace that was lost in the long river of history!"

Pickman ran to the front excitedly, and his crazy look was even more exaggerated than Chen Bofu in the other world.

"His brain is not normal." Jiang Jingzhe explained in a low voice, "Apart from being like a normal person when doing research, other times... you know."

"clear."

Chen Jing nodded.

Isn't there a fine line between genius and madness?

"I heard that the Third Prince is particularly fond of you." Jiang Jingzhe said coldly.

"Which third prince?" Chen Jing asked doubtfully.

"Huangfu Huaisui is the vice president of our association." Jiang Jingzhe raised his eyes and looked at Dr. Pickman who ran ahead and explained patiently, "His nickname within our association is the Third Prince."

"Who came up with this nickname..." Chen Jing was a little curious.

"I don't know either, but he might really be a prince. I heard that he went abroad to settle on the other side of the ocean in the third year of Xuantong's reign..."

"wait!"

Chen Jing was stunned and subconsciously counted on his fingers.

Xuantong three years.

Until now... 112 years? !

"The old man lived for more than a hundred years?!" Chen Jing was shocked and felt that his brain was a little insufficient. "But I don't think he is a transcendent or an old descendant. How did he live for so long?!"

"I don't know about this..." Jiang Jingzhe shook his head, "I heard that he is very optimistic about you and is planning to nominate you as his image spokesperson. If they weren't busy today, they would probably come over to receive you."

"Li Mobai also said that he had something to do." Chen Jing sighed, feeling somewhat uncomfortable staying in this unfamiliar place.

"He is with the Third Prince." Jiang Jingzhe lowered his voice and said, as if he knew something inside, "They went to visit the president."

President?

Chen Jing couldn't help but think of what Li Mobai said...

The president of the [Ether Association] seems to be a half-dead old man.

It is said that he was paralyzed in bed.

So in these years, Huangfu has always been out in public when he was pregnant.

"Mr. Chen Jing! Come quickly!"

Dr. Pickman had now reached the door at the end.

He entered the password on the password lock next to him and swiped his retinas while waving to Chen Jing and the others without looking back.

"I'll take you to see that palace! You will definitely be shocked by it! That's..."

During Dr. Pickman's excited narration, the metal door slowly slid open to both sides in a silent manner, just like the sliding door in Chen Jing's home, except that the thickness was much ridiculously thicker than a normal sliding door...

It's almost thirty centimeters.

As thick as a wall.

at this time.

Jiang Jingzhe seemed to see something through the crack in the door that gradually opened, and the expression on his face suddenly became ugly.

"Why did they come down..."

"Who?"

Chen Jing tilted his head and glanced past Dr. Pickman. His expression instantly became as ugly as Jiang Jingzhe's.

behind the door.

The place was packed with hundreds of people wearing [Dawn Foundation] uniforms.

"so troublesome."

Chen Jing turned around and gave Jagetos a look, indicating that he must pay attention to his looks.

Jegertos nodded and directly pulled out the cross sword.

"The person who came here is evil." Jiang Jingzhe frowned.

"What are you afraid of?"

Chen Jing put his hands in his pockets and still had that harmless smile on his face.

"Let's go. Are you still afraid of outsiders in your own home?"

Chapter 225: List 2: Old Descendent - Xue Shiguan

On the way to the base hall, Jiang Jingzhe introduced the situation to Chen Jing as briefly as possible while suppressing his voice.

The situation is probably similar to what Li Mobai said.

This so-called "Base No. 1" is no longer exclusively managed by the [Ether Association], because various countries have selectively released the association and are even using various means to restrict their development.

Currently [Ether Association] and [Dawn Foundation] are competing for the management rights of this base, so the situation inside the base is particularly chaotic. Those wearing [Dawn Foundation] uniforms only came yesterday...

"They used to live in the lounge upstairs, and the main research hall required formalities before they could come, so they were always wrangling..."

"Is this the end of the story?" Chen Jing looked at the dense crowd of people in the hall.

"may be."

Jiang Jingzhe muttered, and suddenly his eyes flashed, and he suddenly realized.

"Oh, it seems not."

At this time, Chen Jing also saw those people lying in the corner of the hall covered in blood.

Judging by the uniforms they wear.

They should all be from the [Ether Association].

"How did you get in! You can't enter this place without formalities!" Dr. Pickman stood in front of the door and shouted, looking nervous, "Don't touch our instruments! Don't adjust the parameters that have been adjusted with difficulty... …”

Chen Jing and Jiang Jingzhe walked over and looked at each other with the members of [Shuguang Foundation].

The expressions on both sides are very subtle.

Chen Jing felt troublesome, so his expression was a little helpless.

And those people from [Dawn Foundation] looked like they had seen a ghost.

Yes.
