Rebel Demon King

Chapter 485 Black Prince (2)

Medieval oil lamps glow faintly in the long and narrow corridor, one by one sticking to the wall and extending deep into the corridor, like this corridor is endless, the light shines on the yellow sandstone wall through the glass cover sprinkled on the cracked stone slabs, reminding him that this is an ancient college with a history of more than 700 years.

However, Yan Funing looked at the corridor where only the two of them could walk side by side. He didn't feel that there was an academic atmosphere at all. He only felt that it was eerie and terrifying, like the prison where the Inquisition imprisoned heretics.

Yan Funing, who was wearing a mask, calmly passed several surveillance cameras in the corridor, and found no one blocking him, so he was a little relieved.Yan Funing knew that it wasn't that All Souls College's security measures were poor, but that the building above it wasn't the point. This was where the people of All Souls College studied and conducted academic research. The secrets that truly belonged to the inner world were all underground. I don't know how deep it is.

He recalled the map given to him by Li Jiting. It was speculated that the location leading to the real All Souls College should be in the library, but Yan Funing was self-aware and could use the carrier and the shielding ring to touch the surface of the not-so-secret All Souls College. Trying luck is a fluke, if you want to try to see if you can enter the basement, it is purely to die.

Yan Funing saw the moonlight pouring in from the pointed hole in front of him. He quickened his pace a little, walked to the hole and looked out again. It was also mixed with grass, soil and smells, and it was not far from the location of the Institute of Biology of Wanli College that Li Jiting circled for him.

Yan Funing took a deep breath quietly, and continued to walk in along the corridor. He did not take a shortcut, but chose the inner circle of the academy that seemed to have more escape routes, and seemed to have no more surveillance, and still walked in a relatively closed area. In the corridor, even though walking in the inner circle would make him feel much safer, he still chose the seemingly more dangerous path.

In fact, this is the first time that Yan Funing has officially performed a mission. He has not really "done any work" during the years he was sent to Imperial College of Technology. The official foreign mission to contact Tai Chi Dragon is this summer vacation in Russia, but that It is more of an "internship", familiar with Taijilong's work process, and doing insignificant things such as monitoring.

Before today, Yan Funing's main task was to upgrade, establish contacts, and research academics. In fact, he was indeed assigned to the Qianlong Group at the earliest, and was trained as a hidden stake in the UK for the Qianlong Group. dragon group.

Originally, Yan Funing did not have the right to choose, but the reason why he had the right to choose later was because of his outstanding academic performance, which made the upper echelon of Tai Chi Dragon feel that it would be a waste if a talent like him was only used as a "hidden stake in the Qianlong team".

The paradox is that without people of Yan Funing's level, it is difficult to break into some important research institutes in the UK. Therefore, which department does Yan Funing belong to? The upper echelons of Tai Chi Dragon are very entangled, so they simply choose Respect Yan Funing's decision.

Yan Funing himself had already made up his mind to return to China. For him, the Qianlong team was far less safe than other teams. Anyway, it was only a matter of time before he could get into the top ranks of Taijilong with his ability, so naturally he had to choose the safest path.

Originally, Li Jiting had already agreed to his application, and then the "Black Death" happened at this juncture, so Li Jiting added a condition to him to successfully complete the "Black Death" task, even if he After completing the internship satisfactorily, let him return to China. As for entering the "Flying Dragon Group" for scientific research, or entering the "Kanglong Group" for law enforcement, he can choose whatever he wants.
At the beginning, Yan Funing disagreed, and even wrote several emails to the big boss in China who admired him. The other party was also the chosen one, and he was in charge of the mathematics research work of the Feilong group. However, Li Jiting only brought out one thing from his childhood , it was easy to force him to submit.

Whenever he remembered that Li Jiting pretended to mention that old incident inadvertently, Yan Funing wished to kill Li Jiting immediately, but he knew that he lacked such strength at present, so he could only believe that Li Jiting would keep his promise.

But will he?

Yan Funing doesn't know, but he will find a way to force him to obey.

He looked up at the black curlicue "Aedificium edificium biology" sign hanging on the other side of the hole door in the corridor and thought.

-------------------

Oxford University's biomedical engineering, biophysics, biochemistry, life science base classes, molecular biology, medicine and pharmacy are all in the forefront of the world, and the research of individual disciplines can be said to be one of the best, not inferior to the United States, which is currently the strongest in genetic research The reason for this is not only the strong research strength of the United Kingdom itself, but also the fact that the United Kingdom and the United States are countries that wear a pair of pants. Compared with Europe, which is separated by a strip of water, the relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States is actually closer.

This is not only because the cultures and historical traditions of the two countries are similar, but also because the two countries are natural allies geographically. The transfer of hegemony was completed peacefully, and the two countries also formed a "special" ally relationship, which is reflected in the words most often said by the leaders of the two countries: "The United Kingdom has always been the most trusted and most trusted by the United States. reliable and most capable ally".

In view of the special relationship between the two countries, many scientific research results are shared by the United States and the United Kingdom.

However, Yan Funing managed to sneak into All Souls Academy this time, not because he coveted the secrets that he could hardly get access to, but because the Qianlong team discovered that the "Black Death" seemed to be in contact with an important figure in All Souls Academy.

Li Jiting's task for Yan Funing is to get in touch with this important person, and find a way to get some secrets out of the other party's mouth, whether it is threats or temptations, whether it is the secret of All Souls College or the secret of the Black Death.
At this moment, Yan Funing is going to try his luck in the biology building. The other party is a genius in biological genetics, and is naturally an academic madman. It is very likely that he will do experiments in the laboratory on weekends. If he is lucky, he may be able to come into contact with it today. The other party, even completing the task is not impossible.

But it seems that his luck is not so good, because at a glance on the first floor, he can see that there is no laboratory. Now Yan Funing has reached the second floor of the biology building, and the entire corridor is silent, which is completely different from the simplicity of the first floor. The decoration on the side is very modern, and all the doors and windows have been turned into alloy doors and windows, which are very tightly sealed.The marble in the corridor is also brand new, and the wall lamps on both sides are no longer installed, but fluorescent lamps are inlaid in the ceiling of the corridor, and there is no light in the rooms on both sides from the frosted windows.

The carrier in the shielded state can't even use the map, Yan Funing can only stop for a while, glance to the right, and observe the metal nameplates on the alloy doors on both sides of the corridor to see if there is a "biological laboratory" ".

He didn't dare to stay longer at the stairs, and could only make a judgment within a few seconds, whether to check this floor or not to check this floor, for Yan Funing, there was only one chance. It means that he can't go to other floors, because going to more floors will definitely arouse the suspicion of the guards sitting in the monitoring room.

At this time, Yan Funing had already seen "Biological Laboratory" in black cursive characters on a gold background pasted on the last two doors on the left side of the corridor on the second floor. Yan Funing's Latin vocabulary was limited, but luckily "Biological Laboratory" was written in English and There is basically no difference between Latin words, and Latin itself is equivalent to English classical Chinese, so Yan Funing could not miss it.

It's just that there seems to be no light leaking from the frosted glass doors and windows of the laboratory at the end, which makes Yan Funing a little bit tangled, but Yan Funing didn't have time to think about it for too long, he finally chose to continue going up to the third floor The situation was even worse, the whole floor was pasted with the sign of "Laboratory", and there were all kinds of prefixes, Yan Funing's Latin vocabulary was impossible to distinguish one by one.

He only recognized a "microbiology laboratory", "molecular biology laboratory" and an "animal laboratory", and he didn't recognize several other rooms with laboratory signs, not only that, except for the corridor The fluorescent lamp on the ceiling seems to have no light coming from the laboratory, which makes Yan Funing wonder if all the people from All Souls College have gone to the formal dinner in the college today, and no one is doing scientific research in the laboratory.

Yan Funing became entangled again, there was only one floor above, if there was no laboratory on the upper floor, then he would probably be in vain today, and the next time he can enter All Souls College will be a matter of the year of the monkey, and he can only go through other channels Close to the target person, but the tragedy is that Li Jiting didn't give him that long.

After a little hesitation, Yan Funing still chose to trust his own judgment. He didn't see the lights. Although some of the laboratory windows might have drawn the curtains, the lights in the preparation room were not on. That's really unscientific. See the three letters of "DNA".

Yan Funing decided that he could only go to the fourth floor to try his luck. If he didn't have any, he could only give up. He went into a random laboratory, pretended to take something, and then returned to the original way, returning to the original body.

He walked up quickly, and the stairs and the decoration of the laboratory floor formed a strong contrast, giving him a feeling of time travel. The side of the corridor is modern, while the side of the stairs is medieval, and the stairs made of rocks are very narrow. If you are facing up and down, you have to turn sideways to pass. An iron pipe-shaped handrail installed on the wall has been worn very smooth, and it is shiny with oil under the dim light. The stone steps should have been repaired several times, and some steps have the same color If it is darker, the edges will be slightly more chipped; some steps are lighter in color and have no signs of wear on them.

When walking up, Yan Funing was still in a calm mood. Even though he didn't achieve his goal, everything went smoothly and he didn't encounter any setbacks. But when he reached the corner of the third and fourth floors, he looked up and found something bad, because the entire fourth floor They are all closed. There is an alloy door at the end of the stairs, and it is different from the laboratories on the second and third floors. This alloy door is equipped with access control. The silver alloy door is equipped with a black electronic lock on the side of the stairs. , the lock has no door handle, only two number buttons are shining faintly.

The name of the laboratory was not posted on the door, only a number "6" was pasted. It is really strange that the number 6 is pasted here. According to Yan Funing's memory, this place can neither be the sixth building nor the sixth floor. Even less likely was Lab Six.

Yan Funing's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He didn't look at the monitor facing him at the door on the fourth floor, but his brain was running fast, thinking about what he should do. He grabbed the iron pipe handrail by his side with one hand, and slowly Going up, but no matter how long you delay, there are only nine stairs to climb to reach the fourth floor.

Yan Funing was startled. The number of floors of the stairs from the corner to the fourth floor seemed to be different. This section of stairs was made of brand new stones, unlike the steps of the stairs on the lower floors, which were new and old, and the number of steps seemed to be different. It's different, the stairs below are all eight steps, but the last section has nine steps, which is an extra step.

The three numbers "6, 9, 8" were running rapidly in Yan Funing's mind, but he didn't have much time to think about the relationship between these three numbers. At this moment, he had already stood in front of the electronic lock, feeling a little strange. Generally speaking, the numbers "0-9" on the electronic lock plus the asterisk and hash buttons are distributed in three or four rows, which is more reasonable.

But right now, the buttons of the combination lock do show two distributions, and there are no asterisks and pound signs. These clues seem to point to the password to unlock the combination lock, so countless numbers are streaking across Yan Funing's mind like shooting stars. However, falling into his heart, Hugo once said that human beings hold three keys, one to unlock letters, one to unlock musical notes, and the other to unlock numbers.

Thoughts, fantasies, and knowledge are in it.

Yan Funing felt that what Hugo said was inaccurate. Numbers actually include everything. Everything is a number. If he was asked to choose the most magical number among numbers, he would definitely choose "π". This number is endless and never repeats, that is, It is said that there are countless possibilities in this string of numbers.

A part of it must have your birthday; a part of it must have a bank password; even a part of it will have your ID number.
If you convert these numbers into letters, you can get countless words and countless combinations. Maybe the story of your life can be expressed with this string of numbers. This is a string of numbers with infinite possibilities. This is a circle, this Numbers best represent the universe.
And all the passwords he used were all intercepted from a section of "π", so what kind of password would the other party use?

Yan Funing's hand has been lifted up and placed on top of the combination lock. He is staring at the black button with a bluish light at the bottom without blinking. If the carrier can sweat, he must be sweating profusely at this moment. "666!"

Yan Funing touched the middle finger of his right hand to the top of "6", and a string of numbers flashed in his heart instantly.He held his breath, moved his finger to the top of "8", and pressed it lightly. The first asterisk flashed on the display screen of the combination lock, then he pressed "1", and then he pressed "2" was pressed, and finally "8" was pressed.
The electronic lock beeped, and it slid in to the side. Yan Funing breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, the password set by the other party was "Perfect number". The so-called perfect number is the sum of the approximate numbers except itself. It is itself, such as 6=1+2+3, 28=1+2+4+7+14, the next third number is 496, the next one is 8128, and the next one is 33550336, so far , people only found 48 perfect numbers.

Yan Funing was not sure that the other party must have used "8128", but he felt that if the owner of this laboratory was the target person, he might use this number, and the clues on this floor did point to "8128". this number.

It now appears that he guessed right.

Yan Funing walked into the room, the fluorescent lamps illuminated the inside very brightly, but before he had time to look at the whole room, he heard a soft sound behind him, Yan Funing looked back, the alloy door had been gently closed, and there was a big door behind the door. The note reads in English: "Please change into the sterile gown, put on sterile latex gloves and a disposable sterile cap. Thank you for your cooperation."

Signed below is Hugh Grosvenor, descendant of the Black Prince, the British god of war.
