The Guide to the End of the World: Four Sentinels Compete for Favor

Yi Shenshou stepped aside to open the door. The room in front of him was pitch black. With the faint light from the ceiling of the corridor, Ai Wanxin saw a huge black metal instrument placed in the center of the room. Judging from its shape, it was very similar to the energy shielding device that Tuoba Qing had brought to Fengcheng.

Ai Wan wanted to take a closer look, but Yi Shenshou grabbed her wrist.

"The room is full of laser fences, be careful."

He pressed a button on the side of the access control device, and the first panel lifted up, with a silver light screen keyboard projected into the air.

Yi Shenshou raised his hand and began to enter a very complicated password. Ai Wanxin was a little distracted as she looked at his slender fingers.

Such security measures would be like an iron wall before the end of the world. But now, let alone her or her sentinels, any few sentinels with earth and metal abilities could easily break open the door and steal the things kept inside.

If it is indeed the extract from this meteorite that can promote secondary evolution, once Tan Hairu's research team figures out the key to their experiment, can Yan Shupei and Yi Shenshou still keep it?

After the long password was entered, there was a slight click, the lights in the room came on, and Yi Shenshou walked into the room first.

He stopped in front of the black instrument and stared down at the culture chamber under the transparent glass cover.

Ai Wanxin walked to his side and her eyes fell on the oval transparent culture chamber filled with light blue liquid. She immediately understood what Yi Shenshou meant by the meteorite wrapped in organic matter.

A small snake with silvery scales was suspended in the light blue nutrient solution.

The little snake had its eyes closed, and its foot-long body was tightly wrapped around an irregularly shaped dark stone. The silver-white scales on the outward part of its body were charred and curled, and its tattered and burnt translucent wings were wrapped around the dark stone in a protective posture, making it look like it was holding the meteorite and walking through a raging fire.

"Is that the piece inside the meteorite?" Ai Wanxin asked, "What's going on with this snake?"

She had never seen such a strange meteorite before. Moreover, was it just a coincidence that they were of the same species or something else? Why did this snake look a bit like A'qong's spirit body, Xiaobai?

"Yes, the piece inside is the meteorite. When we got them, the little snake and the meteorite were tightly entangled together and inseparable." Yi Shenshou replied.

Ai Wan had countless questions in her mind. She asked in confusion: "Did it fall with the meteorite, or did it get entangled with it after the meteorite fell? Why is it entangled with the meteorite? Why don't you separate them?"

Yi Shenshou smiled softly: "Xinxin, can I answer your questions one by one?"

"This snake... its texture is very hard. None of the tools we have now can leave even a scratch on its skin. But it is indeed an organism. It is different from any known Earth creature. My teacher and I both speculate that it should come from the vast universe outside the Earth, just like the meteorite. And because its texture is too hard, we have no way to separate it from the meteorite without damaging the sample."

"As for why it is entangled with the meteorite, we have no idea."

"Xinxin, do you have anything else you want to ask?" Yi Shenshou looked at Ai Wanxin's flashing eyes and asked gently.

"So, did you use this meteorite or the extract from this snake to conduct the experiment?" Ai Wan had many more questions to ask, but she decided to ask them one by one. Today, Yi Shenshou told her everything he knew, and she had to seize the opportunity to find out everything.

"It's this meteorite. It seems to emit a substance that we can't yet parse. Or, in other words, the energy it releases can change the structure of the liquid that soaks it. We have only observed this phenomenon and tried to use the product of this phenomenon to transform the creatures on Earth. We are still far from touching the fundamental principle behind it."

"Then...how did you get it?" Ai Wanxin asked.

"Before the end of the world, there was a meteor shower in the sky above the earth. This meteorite came from that meteor shower. It happened to fall near Guanghui City at that time and was obtained by Academician Yang Jici, the chief astrophysicist of our Academy of Sciences."

"When Academician Yang first saw the meteorite, he speculated that the little snake might not belong to the Earth. At that time, Academician Yang had to rush to Fengcheng for an important matter. She very selflessly handed the meteorite to the teacher and agreed that the teacher could study the little snake first. She only put forward one condition, that is, the existence of the meteorite should not be made public before she returned."

Ai Wanxin's eyes widened slightly. Was it Academician Yang who found it?

"And what happened next?" she asked.

"Later, a flood broke out and we lost contact with Academician Yang. The teacher thought of many ways, but the situation was too chaotic at the time. It was very difficult to find someone in a large city. After the situation in Guanghui City stabilized, Fengcheng applied to the Academy of Sciences for support for mental power detectors and energy shielding devices. The teacher asked Academician Yang's daughter to follow the Security Bureau team to Fengcheng to find Academician Yang. However, good luck did not favor us. Not long after, Academician Yang was confirmed dead."

Ai Wanxin's eyes flashed. Yan Shupei and Yi Shenshou both knew that Academician Yang had died, so although Madam Bai used Academician Yang's identity, she did not appear in the Academy of Sciences. In other words, she could go to Academician Yang's laboratory to find the decoder!

"Xinxin." Yi Shenshou interrupted her thoughts, "In addition to this meteorite, Fengcheng will soon transport a meteorite that is said to be very strange to Guanghui City."

Ai Wanxin blinked. He should be talking about the piece that fell on Mingxiao Mountain, was picked up by He Yang and put on an uninhabited island, and was later replaced by her.

Now the meteorite was safely stored in her space and returned to Duo Ri's body, and what was contained in the energy shielding device was just an "actor" fabricated by Brother Han. If Yi Shenshou used that "actor" to study, he would definitely not be able to find out anything.

"But we may not have a chance to study it." Yi Shenshou didn't know what she was thinking, and continued, "Once Professor Tan and his team figure out where the core material for our experiment comes from, we won't be able to keep either of these two meteorites."

"......So?" Ai Wanxin looked into Yi Shenshou's eyes.

Yi Shenshou's eyes curved slightly, and he whispered, "I wonder if the jailbroken rat will bite off the security power supply of this room tonight?"
