Laws of the Other World

He told Zhou Qing which hotel he was staying in.

Zhou Qing was thinking about how to get to that hotel, when Bai Yingting suddenly said, "I'm just downstairs from your dormitory."

Zhou Qing was stunned. When he came to the window sill, he saw a slender man in a smoky gray windbreaker standing under the street lamp.

He seemed to feel Zhou Qing's gaze, and slowly raised his head.

A silent wave rushed towards Zhou Qing, engulfing Zhou Qing with a fresh and gentle breath.

Bai Yingting's eyebrows and eyes were elegant, and there was something indescribable in his eyes, as if he had traveled a long way, experienced a long time, and finally met Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing blinked hard, and Bai Yingting's lips showed a smile. He stretched out his hand and waved it lightly.

"Bai...Professor Bai, how do you know that I live here?"

"It was left by your research assistant for my doctoral student. Professor Zhou, if you don't mind my coming uninvited, we can make an appointment to meet in another place."

"No! Of course not!" Zhou Qing looked back at his room. Fortunately, he didn't come back many times, but the clothes he hadn't washed before were still thrown on the sofa.

Zhou Qing cleaned up the room as quickly as possible and opened the door, while Bai Yingting stood there with his pockets in his pocket.

Seeing Bai Yingting at such a close distance, Zhou Qing felt more and more that he and Bai Yingting had known each other... Zhou Qing suddenly realized that he was really like the S-level creature he had met before!

This similarity is not in the outline of the facial features, but a more internal overlap.

"Where have I seen you before?" Zhou Qing asked subconsciously.

When he reacted, he felt that the question was a bit abrupt.

"On the Internet?" Bai Yingting replied, and then he laughed again, "Professor Zhou, do you know that words like 'where have I met you before' are outdated strike-ups?"

Zhou Qing's face suddenly turned red, and he stepped aside: "I'm sorry...Professor Bai, please come in!"

"Actually, you call me Professor Bai, and I call you Professor Zhou. Is it too polite for our professors to come and teach?"

"Ah?" Zhou Qing didn't recover for a while.

If he doesn't call the other party "professor", what should he call the other party?Mr. Bai?

"And..." Bai Yingting suddenly approached Zhou Qing, and at that moment his handsome face clearly appeared in Zhou Qing's field of vision, Zhou Qing froze there and his mind went blank, "I was just joking that your words were like flirting with you, your His face turned red. It seems that Professor Zhou has never been in love."

Bai Yingting was tall, with long legs and long hands. Zhou Qing, who was 1.7 meters five, was still half a head short in front of him.He is different from a serious scholar with low EQ. He is personable. Such a man is knowledgeable and should be very popular with women.

In order to see Zhou Qing's expression clearly, Bai Yingting bent down on purpose, as if looking at a child who did something wrong.At such a distance, the beautiful outlines of his eyes were clearly presented in front of Zhou Qing, and his slightly raised eyelashes looked like a butterfly about to fly away.

"Professor Bai really knows how to joke." Zhou Qing turned around, "I'll make you some tea."

Zhou Qing's heart was beating very fast.

It seemed that after hearing Bai Yingting's voice, his heartbeat no longer belonged to him.

When he brewed the tea and brought it out, he saw Bai Yingting with his hands behind his back and his head halfway out of the window sill, as if he was looking at something.

Zhou Qing put down the teacup, and came to Bai Yingting's side, followed his gaze, and found that what he was looking at was a small flower blooming in the crack of the wall.

It looks fragile, but it is swaying in the wind, free in the sun, and can be brilliant even if no one appreciates it.

"This is what I like most about creatures in this world." Bai Yingting said.

"what?"

"Growing under the most difficult and difficult conditions, maybe weak, maybe barren, whatever living conditions nature gives it, it will use such conditions to the limit." Bai Yingting turned his face sideways.

There was a faint smell of green grass on his body, Zhou Qing had never smelled such a smell from anyone else.

"Let's drink tea, Professor Bai." Zhou Qing said.

"Okay." Bai Yingting smiled.

His smile is shallow and calm.

Zhou Qing found that even if Bai Yingting's facial features were far less delicate and elegant than that S-level creature, as long as Bai Yingting smiled, the similarity would be multiplied.

The two talked about their theory of plant evolution, and Bai Yingting had too many views consistent with Zhou Qing.Not only that, he also guided Zhou Qing to make his ideas more systematic and convincing.If my thesis was completed with Bai Yingting, there probably wouldn't be so many people who could not accept his point of view.

When Zhou Qing's stomach was grunting, Bai Yingting raised his hand to look at his watch and found that it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

"Oh my god, we've been chatting for so long! Professor Bai hasn't had dinner yet!" Zhou Qing opened his eyes wide.He and Bai Yingting were so speculative that they even forgot the time.

"It's okay, what's in your refrigerator?" Bai Yingting stood up.

"How dare you ask Professor Bai to cook, we still..."

Bai Yingting smiled: "The restaurants nearby are closed at this time, as for Professor Zhou who often stays in the laboratory 24 hours a day, can he cook?"

Zhou Qing felt embarrassed again.

Bai Yingting opened the refrigerator and found that apart from the eggs, there were only some shiitake mushrooms and potatoes in it.

This made Zhou Qing feel embarrassed again, in Bai Yingting's heart, he was probably a person who didn't know how to live.

"We can spread egg pancakes to eat." After Bai Yingting finished speaking, he took out two eggs from the refrigerator.

"You cook it for me? How can this be possible! Professor Bai, are you a guest, or should I come..."

Before Zhou Qing finished speaking, Bai Yingting approached him again.Those eyes were extremely deep, which gave Zhou Qing an inexplicable sense of weightlessness.

"Professor Zhou can't even cook tomato scrambled eggs, right?"

"I...I..." Zhou Qing wanted to say that he could do it, but in fact he really couldn't.

Most of the time, he returned to the dormitory after eating in the research room.Some time ago when Zhou Yu was here, Zhou Yu was also shopping for vegetables and cooking, and even the eggs in the refrigerator were left by Zhou Yu before.

After all, he, Zhou Qing, is indeed an idiot in life.

"Oh, Professor Zhou can do it? Then fry the tomato or the egg first?" Bai Yingting asked again.

His smile was a bit bad, but he didn't mean to ridicule or look down on him at all. He even seemed to have known Zhou Qing for a long time, so he could joke around casually.

Zhou Qing opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer.

Bai Yingting stretched out his hand and scratched the tip of Zhou Qing's nose.

The heart seemed to be brushed by a feather, and Zhou Qing's blood and breathing stopped at that moment.

"Professor Zhou. You have dark circles under your eyes. Why don't you take a nap and we'll have dinner in 10 minutes?"

"Oh, thanks……"

Zhou Qing did not leave the kitchen, but stood not far away looking at Bai Yingting's back.

Forming an elegant arc with his wrist, he tapped the bowl lightly, and the egg slid into the bowl.Even when he was with daily necessities, he still exuded a certain aristocratic demeanor.

Until a plate of egg pancakes slipped into the plate, Bai Yingting turned around and looked at Zhou Qing with a smile; "Professor Zhou, why don't you take a break?"

"I'm learning from you." Zhou Qing found a reason for himself to keep looking at Bai Yingting.

Bai Yingting walked past Zhou Qing with a smile: "Then have a taste of my craft and see if it's worth your learning?"

The two sat down at the dining table, and Bai Yingting handed the chopsticks to Zhou Qing.

The ingredients of the omelet were very simple, without rich seasonings, but Zhou Qing could feel the tenderness of the egg and the fresh fragrance of the shiitake mushrooms at the first bite.

He hadn't been taken care of like this for a long time, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

"Originally, my research team will go to the Kekashi Mountains for a biological investigation next month, and I really want to invite you to go with me, but I heard that Professor Zhou has just had an operation recently, and that environment is not suitable for you. pity."

"Kakashi Mountains?" Zhou Qing's eyes lit up.

It is a paradise just discovered by the expedition team. It is inaccessible and maintains a relatively complete natural appearance. Because it is in a closed environment, many new species have also been discovered.

But no matter how interesting and rare the creatures in the Kekashi Mountains are, Zhou Qing has already seen the world of the Nibelungen.

"Yes, Kekashi Mountains. But it doesn't matter, we can go together after Professor Zhou recovers."

Zhou Qing is very clear that his tumor cannot be cured.If he died of illness in this world, he would rather lie in a place like Kokash.

He and Bai Yingting are so congenial, he even feels that if the two of them work together, all the research will be more effective.If one day he dies, Bai Yingting may be the only one in this world who can continue his research.

But Nibelungen...that world is too dangerous, how could he put Bai Yingting in danger?And even if he recommends Bai Yingting to Juli Group, it may not be accepted.

In the next few days, Zhou Qing and Bai Yingting were either in the research room or on the balcony of Zhou Qing's dormitory drinking tea and discussing each other's opinions.Sometimes their arguments were quite heated, it was a collision of viewpoints, but no matter what, Bai Yingting could maintain a gentleman's demeanor and push Zhou Qing's thinking to another broader level.

At the same time, Zhou Yu finally got the task of dispatching to Nibelungen.

He and Wu Yun will take the six newcomers on a shuttle mission to base 12.This base was strengthened and reconstructed from the old base, and it is known as the strongest fortress of the Juli Group.In addition to the six newcomers, some resident personnel were also included in the going staff.

Zhou Yu glanced at the list, there were Li Qian, Dr. Daniel, and Zhou Qing's names.

For Zhou Qing, this was both good and bad.The bad thing was that in that world, Zhou Qing had almost no ability to protect himself, and was even lured by that S-level creature.The good thing is that Zhou Qing's brain glioma will recur sooner or later if he cannot return to the Nibelungen.A person's ability to bear is limited, not to mention that his brain is the most delicate part, and it is impossible to undergo surgery over and over again.

The name next to Zhou Qing is a university professor named Bai Yingting.

Wu Yun's head came closer: "It seems that there are a lot of oil bottles this time!"

Zhou Yu replied coolly: "Aren't you too?"

Wu Yun was speechless.His old fritters turned out to be a burden in front of Zhou Yu... What a shame!

A week later, all dispatched personnel were picked up by Juli Group.

When Zhou Qing entered the shuttle cabin with Doctor Daniel, Li Qian was already inside.He excitedly gave Zhou Qing a big hug.

And Zhou Qing looked over Li Qian's shoulder, and when he saw the tall and straight man with a gentle temperament, he was stunned.

"Bai...Professor Bai?" Zhou Qing opened his eyes wide.

That man was Bai Yingting.

"You know each other?" Zhou Yu came over and asked.

"Yes... yes." Zhou Qing nodded.

Bai Yingting stretched out his hand towards Zhou Yu: "Hello Captain Zhou, I have long admired your name."

Zhou Yu didn't shake his hand, but looked at him with scrutiny.

This man has a special temperament.Other people who are about to enter the Nibelungen, even "old men" like Li Qian and Dr. Daniel, who are not dispatched for the first time, are somewhat nervous at the moment.But this Professor Bai was calm and calm, as if he was just going to participate in an academic seminar in another country.

"Hello." A few seconds later, Zhou Yu held his hand.

Bai Yingting's hand is very steady, and the temperature of his palm is not high, which shows that he is really not nervous.

"Professor Bai, have you also been recruited by the Juli Group?" Zhou Qing couldn't help asking.

"Yes. To be honest, when they found me, I didn't believe in the existence of the world they said. But after they told me that you also joined that project, I decided to join." Bai Yingting replied.

Zhou Qing frowned, and grabbed the opponent's arm: "Do you know how dangerous it is! It's completely different from the world you know!"

"I know." Bai Yingting nodded, "There is no need to pay for knowledge. The more we know, the higher the price we pay. And it is my greatest honor to work with you. You also look forward to it in your heart , isn't it?"

At that moment, Zhou Qing felt that Bai Yingting seemed to understand all his thoughts.Bai Yingting patted the back of Zhou Qing's hand, signaling that he doesn't need to be nervous.Only then did Zhou Qing realize his gaffe, and quickly let go of his hand.

"Sorry, I……"

"I don't care. Happy cooperation, Professor Zhou."

Bai Yingting's smile had a soothing meaning, as if no matter how nervous Zhou Qing was, he could calm him down.

Zhou Yu watched silently from the side.He left Zhou Qing's side not long ago, when did this Bai Yingting appear?And Zhou Qing also cared about him...

Dr. Cook came to Zhou Yu and Wu Yun, and handed over the information on Base 12 to them.

When Zhou Yu saw that Song Zhi was filled in the column for the person in charge of the base, his heart that had been hanging over him finally calmed down.

Song Zhi was still alive, which meant that Mo Ye had defeated the Yeling.

Everyone entered the shuttle cabin.

When Wu Yungang opened his mouth to say something, Li Qian was the first to say, "Shut up!"

Block Wu Yun's crow's mouth in advance.

The shuttle pod ejected.

Li Qian closed his eyes, the tension was the same as last time.

Zhou Yu observed that Professor Bai, he seemed to be resting with his eyes closed.

Others who were going through the magnetic field for the first time were also very nervous. Occasionally, a few people talked with each other, but the topic could not continue because of nervousness.

After nearly an hour, the shuttle cabin suddenly stopped.The crew in the cabin slowly regained gravity from the suspended state.

Li Qian finally breathed out the breath he was holding back: "We arrived safely, right?"

The safety device was raised, and everyone sat up cautiously, looking left and right.

"You won't open the hatch to find out that the base has been bombed again?" Li Qian was still very uneasy.

Wu Yun chuckled: "Your crow's mouth is not inferior to mine."

Li Qian was so choked up that he couldn't speak.

When the hatch slowly opened, standing in front of them was Song Zhi with arms folded.

He was still the same as before, wearing a meticulous suit, wearing rimless glasses, and his face was indifferent.

"Welcome to Base 12. I believe everyone knows the rules of survival of the Nibelungen. I am also very happy to see old faces."

Song Zhi's gaze rested on Zhou Yu's body, and he nodded.

When the dispatchers were assigned, Zhou Yu quickly followed Song Zhi.

Song Zhi knew Zhou Yu's purpose, the two were silent all the way, until they were the only two left in the passage, Song Zhi suddenly stopped.

"Where is Mo Ye?" Zhou Yu asked.

Song Zhi didn't turn around.

"Are you sure you want to know where he is? I'm afraid you'll regret it when you find out."

"It's not dead, is it? If it's dead, you can't be alive." Zhou Yu frowned, he didn't understand the meaning of Song Zhi's words to him.

"Did you know that Base No. 12 is the largest, most well-equipped, and strongest base of Juli Group here?"

"I heard from Dr. Cook."

"Because there is an S-class creature here." Song Zhi replied.

Zhou Yu didn't speak.He had a hunch that what Song Zhi said next was definitely not what he wanted to hear.

"His name is Mo Ye."

When that name sounded, Zhou Yu's heart felt as if it had been hit and split open.

"What did you say? Mo Ye is a night spirit... an A-level creature..."

"Don't you know that S-class creatures can mimic any creature form? Not just humans, but also night spirits." Song Zhi replied.

Zhou Yu's heart beat wildly like a volcanic eruption, and after more than ten seconds, it gradually calmed down.

He remembered the silver creature that saved him when he dropped the angel horn, and it turned into a boy in the end.It held him and saved him.

He remembered that every time he encountered the most dangerous moment of life and death, that boy would appear.

Everything in the past was quickly played back in Zhou Yu's mind, the slightest expression on the corners of the boy's eyes and brows, all the deep meaning in his smile, every movement of his gestures, and Mo Ye's innocent big eyes...they are different .

"Don't you believe it?" Song Zhi asked.

Zhou Yu thought of every time that young man appeared, whether he rescued himself at the corner of the angel, brought him out of Bawang Yinzhu's lair, or dealt with the bone eater at the observation station... He never appeared at the same time as Mo Ye Pass.And, whenever he leaves, Mo Ye will return to her side!

It was not a coincidence that he was saved, but because that boy was Mo Ye!

Thinking of the feeling of Mo Yehan biting his fingertips, blood seemed to gush out.

"Do you still want to see him?" Song Zhi asked.

"Of course." Zhou Yu clenched his fist tightly.

That little thing that often cuddles in his arms and is extremely attached to him... is actually an S-rank creature!What is its purpose in doing so?

"If Mo Ye is an S-level creature, how did you capture it?" Zhou Yu immediately thought of this question.

With his pockets in his hands, Song Zhi lowered his head and chuckled, "Because I told him that if he doesn't shoot himself, the shuttle cabin you're in will disintegrate, because I implanted a code."

"Is the neurotoxin in the gun?" Zhou Yu asked.

"It's the neurotoxin for him... your spinal fluid."

Song Zhi's answer made Zhou Yu suddenly angry.

He grabbed Song Zhi by the collar and slammed him against the wall: "You bastard! You took a sample of my spinal fluid in the name of inspection, and said that you were worried that I would be infected and parasitized. It turned out that it was used to deal with Mo Ye Yes! You already knew that Mo Ye was an S-level creature? But you never told me! Did you do it on purpose?"

Song Zhi's gaze met Zhou Yu's without avoiding it.

"Are you angry, Zhou Yu? This is really rare. At first, I didn't know that Mo Ye was an S-level creature, but I suspected it later. But have you forgotten the purpose of S-level creatures to approach humans?"

"So? You want to say that I am Mo Ye's nourishment? His prey?"

"You have to ask him yourself...if he's telling you the truth." Song Zhi patted the back of Zhou Yu's hand, "It's not easy to iron a suit here."

Zhou Yu let go of Song Zhi, and said coldly, "I'm going to see him now."

"Come with me." Song Zhi smiled, "You are different from anyone else here. No matter how we teach you the rules of survival, you have your own judgment."

"Because you can't be trusted. So everything you say can't be trusted." Zhou Yu replied.

"It seems that I have encountered a crisis of trust." Song Zhi smiled, "But that's fine."

"what?"

"You won't make the same mistakes as me." Song Zhi turned around, Zhou Yu couldn't understand what he said.

Zhou Yu followed Song Zhi through the passages that were guarded by layers of security.
