It was already night when they came out of Long Aotian's place. Ling Shuang and the other two walked around casually outside to familiarize themselves with the environment before going to the accommodation prepared for them.

After entering, Ling Shuang and Shen Yunfeng tacitly began to check around. After finding no monitoring equipment, they began to exchange their views.

"That Long Aotian is not simple. He seems to believe my words, but in fact he has been testing me. I have tried my best to reduce his defenses by pretending to be a young lady who is ignorant of the world, but he has remained unmoved. , I tried so hard to be cute, damn!" Ling Shuang couldn't help but swear, she had abandoned all her dignity, but in the end it had little effect, how could she not be angry?

"I can't stand the lethality of your appearance. It's so cute, let alone a stranger. And previous facts have proven that the NPC in this copy will respond to beauty, but it's completely useless for him. , It is indeed not simple." Shen Yunfeng touched his chin and felt a little emotional.

"There is also a possibility that this is the setting made by the AI ​​for him. He is determined and will not be disturbed by external objects, so he will not have any additional reactions no matter what." Ling Shuang speculated.

"It's possible, but I don't think so, because the AI ​​of this copy is too smart, and it doesn't seem to force certain settings. But no matter what, it should be special, so just treat it with care. "

"Ah."

After that, the three of them had no intention of chatting and went to sleep.

You can also sleep in the virtual platform. After all, the essence of sleep is to relax the mind. When the conscious body enters a dormant state, it is almost the same as sleeping. As for the body's somatosensory cabin, nutrient solution will be injected regularly to ensure the normal operation of physiological functions, so within a few days There won't be any big problem if you stay in the platform and don't come out.

For a spirit like Ling Shuang, even if he stays for a few years, it won't be a big deal. Because the body of the spirit has become elemental, it will automatically absorb elements from the air to meet its own needs, so there is no need to eat. It is also known as inedia.

The next day, Ling Shuang wanted to walk around the base, but she didn't expect to receive an invitation from an unexpected person.

The base's second-in-command, Cai Wei, the director of the institute, invited them to go to the institute for a talk. Out of curiosity, Ling Shuang and the others happily went to the appointment.

Walking into Cai Wei's office, they saw the thin, tall and dean of the institute wearing a pair of half-rimmed glasses. His appearance was not outstanding, and he was the type that would not be found in a group of people. But his eyes There is a sense of wisdom in him, which makes you think at a glance that he is a highly intelligent person.

"You must be Professor Ling's daughter Ling Shuang. Hello, hello, I'm Cai Wei. Your father and I are old academic friends." Cai Wei smiled and stepped forward to shake Ling Shuang's hand.

"Professor Cai, I have known you for a long time. Didn't I expect that you are still an old acquaintance with my father? What a coincidence!" Ling Shuang was surprised. This was not a pretense, she really didn't know.

She only learned from Han Ruoyan that her father was once a university professor, and later founded a biopharmaceutical company with the support of her mother's family, and the business was booming.

"Haha, after all, I was just a nobody before. Professor Ling has many friends, so it's normal that he didn't mention me." Cai Wei said modestly.

"Don't be modest. After all, you are now the dean of the base research institute, and he has disappeared." Ling Shuang said in a low voice.

Seeing this, Cai Wei changed the subject and said, "I wonder who this is?"

"Oh, I am Xiaoshuang's ex-boyfriend Shen Yunfeng, and this is her personal maid Han Ruoyan." Shen Yunfeng quickly introduced.

Cai Wei narrowed his eyes and did not express any opinion. He said to Ling Shuang: "I am asking you to come here to identify me this time, and I also want to tell you some bad news. Your parents... have passed away."

"What?!" Ling Shuang exclaimed, her face pale and her figure shook. Han Ruoyan immediately supported her and looked at her worriedly.

"How...how could..." Ling Shuang muttered in disbelief.

After her mood calmed down a little, Cai Wei explained: "Professor Ling actually came to the base at about the same time as me, but in our initial experiments, he used his own body to test his conjecture, and the results were unfortunate. He turned into a zombie and bit your mother, so..."

"But he did make an outstanding contribution to the experiment by taking risks. This is what led to the future development of the institute. Each of our researchers will never forget him. He will always live in our hearts!" Cai Wei looked sad. , but with a touch of respect.

"I understand, thank you for telling me all this." Ling Shuang took a deep breath and sighed.

"Then what is the second purpose? Dean Cai." Shen Yunfeng changed the subject.

"The second thing I want to ask is about the bottle of potion you mentioned yesterday. Does it really exist?" Cai Wei stared at the three of them with burning eyes.

"Dean Cai, what do you mean? Don't you believe me or my father?" Ling Shuang frowned.

"No, no, that's not what I meant. It's just that the matter is serious and I can't help but want to confirm again. Did you all increase your strength after drinking that bottle of potion? There are no side effects?" Cai Wei looked a little excited.

"That's true, but I don't understand this, so I really can't provide more information. As for the sequelae... we don't seem to have any problems at the moment." Ling Shuang thought about it carefully and said.

Shen Yunfeng and Han Ruoyan also nodded in agreement, indicating that there was no problem.

But for some reason, Cai Wei's face suddenly darkened for a moment. Although he recovered immediately, Shen Yunfeng still caught it keenly.

"Then...can you let me do a full body check for you and draw some blood so that I can confirm it for you and see if I can find any clues about the medicine." Cai Wei asked.

"That would be great, please excuse me, Dean Cai." Ling Shuang thanked him happily.

"It should, it should." Cai Wei waved his hand.

After completing the examination, the three people left the institute. In the dark, a pair of eyes watched them leave.

After confirming that he was far enough away from the institute, Shen Yunfeng said: "There should be something fishy about the death of a father of your status."

"It's not that I should, but I'm sure. My side mission of finding my parents has not been completed. Logically speaking, it should be completed once I know the cause of death. How can I find them when they have turned into zombies?" Ling Shuang complained.

"Well, Cai Wei's expression was very strange after he heard you talk about the potion. It seemed that he didn't want the potion to exist." Shen Yunfeng analyzed, "He said that everyone will remember Professor Ling's contribution, but Long Aotian knows There was no reaction at all after you revealed your identity. It seemed that he didn’t know Professor Ling at all. However, from the previous series of events, it can be seen that he has a strong control over the base. He should not be unaware of it, unless... "

"Unless Cai Wei takes all the credit for Professor Ling's achievements and never explains his existence to the outside world, if Professor Ling happens to have the character of immersing himself in experiments and not interacting with others, it is indeed possible for no one to know about him except his own people. "Ling Shuang continued to reason.

"So, Cai Wei is greedy for Professor Ling's achievements, so he plans to kill him so that he can usurp them all?" Han Ruoyan exclaimed, "Your Highness is so powerful! You can deduce it like this. I didn't do anything just now. After discovering it, I foolishly thought he was a good person!"

"Hey, I obviously have a lot of merit, why don't you praise me?" Shen Yunfeng said dissatisfied.

"Hmph, I can push it out even without your Highness!" Han Ruoyan curled her lips.

"This is indeed a possibility." Ling Shuang nodded.

"Humph." When Ling Shuang interrupted, Shen Yunfeng didn't have the same level of experience as Han Ruoyan.

"I think there might be something hidden~" Suddenly, a charming voice came into the ears of the three of them.

"Who?" The three of them were immediately alert and noticed a tall woman with wavy blond hair walking out of the alley on the right.

She has a very good figure and wears very bold clothes, wearing a midriff-baring outfit and short shorts. If it weren't for the obvious Canglan features on her face, everyone would probably think she was from Chita.

"You must be the freshmen of this college. You are new to the school, and you don't even know me." The woman flipped her hair coquettishly.

"Yes, so who are you?" Shen Yunfeng remained vigilant. She did not relax her vigilance just because she was a player. On the contrary, players had to be even more vigilant.

Counting this one, they have only met three players so far. I don't know how many people there are in this dungeon, but since the rules mentioned that players can fight each other, we can get some clues.

"Me? I'm your senior sister, Sun Langyue. Oh, by the way, many people call me the flower of the courtyard, gurgling~" Sun Langyue's laughter was so charming, as if gently scratching their ears.

Seeing that the three of them were still vigilant, she said with a little annoyance: "Really, I didn't mean anything to be so protective of others, and I didn't show mercy at all. That's all, I'll just tell you the truth."

Sun Langyue corrected her attitude and said seriously: "I found out that there should be something wrong with the institute, but I have no way to get in. The security there is still tight. I just saw you coming out and heard your conversation. That’s why I came to you for cooperation.”

"You eavesdropped on our conversation?" Ling Shuang frowned.

"Oh, you can't blame me for that. My soul is naturally stronger and I discovered it by accident." Sun Langyue shrugged.

Han Ruoyan had long been dissatisfied with this woman. She looked like a coquettish fox seducing people. Even if she just wanted to seduce the man Shen Yunfeng, she actually listed Ling Shuang as her target? How could I bear this, so I was about to step forward to confront her.

Ling Shuang reached out to stop her in time and gave her a calm look, leaving Han Ruoyan to sulk alone.

"How do you want us to help you?" Shen Yunfeng asked.

"It's very simple. Just take this with you, and then you can go in as usual. I will appear by your side when the time comes." Sun Langyue took out a women's breast button.

"Is this...are you planning to divide part of your soul to live on it? Are you a mind master?" Shen Yunfeng said in surprise.

"Young handsome guy is very discerning~" Sun Langyue gave him a flirtatious look. Even Shen Yunfeng couldn't resist it, so he looked away unnaturally and touched his nose.

"Nian Master?" Ling Shuang was curious. This was the first Nian Master she had ever seen. The person from Abyss had not met before, so it didn't count.

"That's right, so you really don't blame me for eavesdropping just now. Who told you to speak so loudly?" Sun Langyue spread her hands.

Ling Shuang was speechless. They spoke so quietly just now that only each other could hear them. She was justified in eavesdropping without permission because of her strong soul.

But there was nothing she could do, because their soul strength was indeed not as strong as hers, so they couldn't guard against it.
