Throne of Radiance

"Unbelievable! Unbelievable!"

"...The experiment was successful!"

"Although the principle is still not fully understood, the fact is that this new material can indeed improve the stability of electronic components, even if it is only a 1% improvement!"

"...It should not be just due to the material, but also related to the special structure and novel technical methods. I have never seen this new type of electronic component, neither in Yao country nor in other countries. There is also a gift The other samples that came over are very inspiring technically, and are different from our previous technological products in terms of thinking. They are simply not like the same scientific system on Zhanlan Planet. It makes people wonder if there is really an unprecedented scientific civilization in history. Destroyed, where did the ruins be excavated from!"

A messy background sound came from the other end of the phone, and many yelling voices intertwined.

A voice that was not at all calmer than the others, even more excited and excited, came from the phone clearly:

"... Judging from the experimental results, it is conservatively estimated that the level of science and technology in all aspects is three to five years ahead of the current level. To be honest, this is not a product that you, Xiao Yin, obtained from a special private laboratory abroad, or it is our country. What kind of secret research institute did you set up?"

Having said that, the old man's voice raised another octave:

"—Please be sure to introduce me to such an amazing team! I'm so curious!"

……

"Is it the phone from the laboratory again?" He evaded the other party's question in a vague tone, and after saying that it must be kept secret like every time before, Yin Xubai hung up the phone, and heard Chu Xingrui next to him curiously Ask, "This is the third call this week, is the research project making huge progress again?"

After the establishment of the Supernatural Affairs Investigation Bureau, several groups were set up, including the propaganda group, the action group, the investigation group, the research group and so on.Above these groups is the core countermeasure group, with An Yuansheng, the director of the Supernatural Affairs Bureau, as the nominal team leader, and the person in charge, or team leader, of each other group is also a member of the countermeasure team.

Just like Yin Xubai, he is not only the leader of the research team, but also an ordinary member of the countermeasure team.Li Fufeng was in charge of the investigation team, Liu Ningshuang was in charge of the action team, and Chu Xingrui, who had the most special status, was in charge of the propaganda team.

The Bureau of Supernatural Affairs is only responsible for supernatural events, so the only task of the propaganda team is to guide public opinion on the Internet. Once a sensational supernatural event occurs, it must be limited to a small area as much as possible, or it should be directed to the benefit of the country. Obviously just a precautionary measure.

At present, there are no sensational supernatural events in Yao Country. Even the legend about the mysterious flower shop is like a fairy tale spread on the Internet, which cannot be taken as true.

Therefore, the propaganda team is of no use for the time being, and Chu Xingrui can be said to be the most idle one among the people present.

Most of the time, he seldom reported to the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs, enjoying the rich spiritual entertainment life of being a child of the royal family.

During the recent period, Chu Xingrui, who was tired of playing and bored, ran over to hang out with the rest of the countermeasures team again, only to find out that there were frequent phone bombings from the research team's laboratory.

At this time, several people were sitting in a car, and Chu Xingrui, who was sitting in the co-pilot, looked at Yin Xubai who hung up the phone with a helpless expression through the rearview mirror, with obvious curiosity in his eyes.

"——The samples obtained from the hotel seem really unusual. Also, Professor Yin, the team you formed seems to be very powerful. In less than two months, you have achieved a lot of research results. It is worthy of being from The nation's elite!"

He also praised it sincerely.

"It's true to say that..." Hearing his question, Yin Xubai didn't know what to say, and was a little stuck for a while.

The three people sitting in the back row knew what was going on, and Liu Ningshuang, who was sitting on the left, took the initiative to take over the topic: "It's true to say so, but it's not the main reason. There are indeed research results on items from different worlds, but they have It was reported in the laboratory before. The reason why Professor Yin is bombarded with phone calls every day is not because of any breakthrough results in a short period of time..."

There was a bit of ridicule in her tone: "It's purely because of those people, they are all greedy for Little Adams' property!"

Chu Xingrui didn't quite understand: "?"

Seeing his bewildered expression, Li Fufeng on the other side shook his head and explained: "This starts with the samples we took away from the hotel, because they are products of another world, and they are a few years ahead of us in technology. , the way of thinking is also different, which is a great inspiration to the members of the research team. They think about getting more materials all day long, or meeting another non-existent research team, Professor Yin has a headache, and can’t leak the secrets. It’s hard to deal with other people’s frenetic curiosity and search for meaning.”

Seeing that the two people on the left and the right explained the matter clearly, Yin Xubai nodded and concluded: "That's about it."

Chu Xingrui showed an eye-opening expression, and by the way contributed a little bit of sympathy to Yin Xubai, nothing more.Being the leader of the research team of the Supernatural Affairs Investigation Bureau at a young age, it should be more burdensome.

Yin Xubai had no special reaction.

In fact, he can fully understand why the researchers in the laboratory are so excited. If it were him before, facing new materials and technologies that he had never seen before, he would only be more excited than them.

But Yin Xubai, who has already opened the door to the new world and learned more about the truth, is no longer so excited about some new materials and new technologies.

It's just a fragment of the tip of the iceberg in another world, can it compare to the information of an entire other world?Can there be more different time and space that may overlap in time and space?Is it comparable to supernatural powers beyond what current science can explain?

And the latter is what he wants to explore now.

Some breakthroughs in technology in the past three to five years can no longer satisfy Yin Xubai now.

He wants to grasp the essence of supernatural power.This temptation is no different from the way to the truth opened before him.

"...If you hadn't stopped me back then, I might have researched clues related to the supernatural through those two corpses." Yin Xubai couldn't help but said, "In any case, there will always be some gains. It's not just that in the end I can only A little innovation and promotion on the existing technology will not be able to cope with the supernatural power of the future!"

He spoke in a stiff and cold tone, as if he was reciting mathematical formulas expressionlessly, without any emotion.Although it is a statement of facts, it is more like an unwarranted accusation.

Chu Xingrui frowned all of a sudden.

Li Fufeng, who saw his expression through the rearview mirror, said before Chu Xingrui: "But we are not doing useless work now. I think Professor Yin understands that when two cold corpses and a person who may communicate Choose between ghosts, the latter is the most valuable choice."

He smiled slightly and comforted him: "If you anger a ghost who might have been friends with you because you hurt two corpses, from a moral point of view, it is difficult for us Yao people to accept this behavior of destroying the corpses of their family members without the permission of others. Even if the other party is a ghost from another world. In terms of interests, this approach is also stupid and short-sighted, don't you think?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Chu Xingrui's smiling face in the rearview mirror, and glanced at Liu Ningshuang again.

Liu Ningshuang understood, and nodded again and again: "Old Li is right! I said big cousin, you are too sympathetic. The kid lost his parents, and he himself became a ghost. How bad it is for a guest to break into the house, move here and there, and even take away the corpses of your parents! We Yao people are not bandits!"

She shook her head and patted Yin Xubai's shoulder: "Although it is a house in a different world and the head of the household is dead, we should respect the ownership of the ghost. You can bring a little leftovers to study and study. If you dare The corpses of other people's parents have also become research materials, believe it or not, you have to come out on the spot?"

When Liu Ningshuang said this, several people couldn't help recalling the experience of the rest of their lives more than a month ago.

Weird fluctuations in different time and space, the mysterious hotel that suddenly appeared, the TV news that was automatically played in the hotel, and the scene that they have never forgotten——

On the old TV screen, the host who was originally quietly broadcasting the news suddenly leaned forward, his whole face pressed against the screen, a smile appeared on his almost deformed face, and his lips were smeared as red as blood.

While this scene flashed in my mind, what followed was that ghostly voice echoing in my heart.

"--find him!"

"--find him!!"

"--find him!!!"

"Huh..." Liu Ningshuang let out a breath slowly, and wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on her forehead.

Even though more than a month has passed, when I think back to the scene at that time, I still feel my scalp tingling and my heart jumping.

Even though she can tease "little Adams" very skillfully now, she is actually just showing off verbally.

If you want her to say, Li Fufeng is the one with the most courage.

Liu Ningshuang couldn't help but drift back to her thoughts——

At that time, almost everyone was shocked, only Li Fufeng's reaction was different from others.

His first reaction was to run towards the weird TV, and before he was about to press the off button, he found that the weird image had disappeared, and the TV screen had returned to the shape of a snowflake.

It wasn't until a vase was thrown on the ground by a frightened person that the people who were frightened by the accident just realized it. Their first reaction was: "There is a problem with this place, there is a big problem, should we first temporarily Exit, and fully prepare to explore again?"

Someone suggested: "...Actually, we can try to remotely control the machine to come in. It is the first time to explore a hotel in another world, too excited and too inexperienced."

"Yeah, we are still too reckless."

Everyone thinks it makes sense.Liu Ningshuang, who is most afraid of ghosts, can't wait to run out of Yuanyang City immediately.

She quietly moved her feet, only to find that her legs were as soft as noodles.

"Sister Liu, what do you think?"

Someone asked her opinion.

she?Of course she agrees.She can't wait to move out of Zhanlanxing overnight!It’s okay to have visitors from another world, but there are still such ghosts and ghosts, QAQ is too scary, isn’t it!

But this kind of thinking must not be said out loud. Doesn't she want to lose face?Women can never lose their handsomeness!

Liu Ningshuang coughed lightly, brushed her hair carelessly, and said in an understatement as much as possible: "I don't care... By the way, Fufeng, what do you think?"

Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught sight of Li Fufeng still standing motionless in front of the TV flickering with snowflakes, without turning his head, only showing the back of a thinker.

Liu Ningshuang decisively threw the pot over.

According to her understanding, although Li Fufeng is very obsessed with pursuing the truth, he is not a person who acts extreme. On the contrary, he is very considerate and appropriate, and he will definitely agree with a more stable plan.

After being named by Liu Ningshuang, the motionless Li Fufeng finally woke up from the state of the statue and moved.

—he took a step forward, getting closer to the TV.

"Adams!" Under everyone's surprised eyes, Li Fufeng raised his head, looked at the TV screen on the wall, and suddenly said, "Adams! Is that you?"

He turned around without getting a response, ignoring the other people around him, as if he was speaking to the whole hotel, his voice was very low and gentle, as if coaxing a kindergarten child: "You are alone Do you feel bored staying here? Can I make friends with you? The kind that can play hide-and-seek with you."

Li Fufeng's voice was as gentle as a breeze, and his gaze kept moving around the hotel, as if there was really an invisible ghost floating in those places at this moment.

The others were a little terrified.

Liu Ningshuang touched the bristling hair on her arm secretly, feeling that she was not well.

Everyone watched in a daze as Li Fufeng came to the side of the two corpses lying on the ground, and continued to talk to the invisible ghost: "The ground is cold and the floor is hard, and you don't want Mom and Dad to continue lying down." on the ground?"

He slowly leaned down: "I can help you settle them first, and then send them back..." Li Fufeng said in a tactful tone that he wanted to help with the cremation and then send the ashes back. understand.

call……

A sudden gust of wind turned in the hotel, the chandelier was crumbling in the gust of wind, the dim yellow lights above the head flickered, and then fell to the ground with a bang.

Li Fufeng's movements also stopped because of this.

"It looks like a warning..." Liu Ningshuang murmured in her heart, and her eyes inevitably became weird when she looked at Li Fufeng, "This guy, what is he doing..."

After a moment of change, the hotel seemed to be back to normal again.But the others didn't dare to breathe.Except Yin Xubai's eyes suddenly became extremely bright and fanatical.

"Okay, okay, since you don't want to, let's forget about it this time." Li Fufeng slowly withdrew his outstretched hand, then straightened up bit by bit, and left the corpse on the ground in slow motion, as if expressing his admiration Harmless.

He spread his palm to another member who was confused about the situation: "I remember you have hypoglycemia, and you have always been used to carrying sugar with you. Can you give it to me first? I will replenish it later."

The man was stunned for a second, then frantically rummaged through his pockets for a while, finally found a handful of candies, and put them all into Li Fufeng's hands: "Oh, here you are, just a few candies, there's no need to make up later gone."

Li Fufeng thanked him softly, walked a few steps towards the reception desk, put the candy on the reception desk with both hands, and put a little heart on it.

"Come to the door rashly, without bringing anything. These candies should be considered as a meeting gift for new friends." The smile on his lips was more gentle than his voice, really like a visiting guest facing a child in the host's house, With a bit of love and coaxing, it is the kind of tone that is very pleasing to children, "Next time I come again, I must prepare a gift that the children like, but I don't know what you like more?"

There was silence in the hotel, and there was no response.

Liu Ningshuang, who was watching all this, felt embarrassed and suffocated for him.I always feel that this partner's head is not normal.

Li Fufeng nodded calmly, with a very understanding look: "I see. He still looks like a shy kid. Well, see you next time~"

He said hello, and then called the others: "Let's go, this time we came rashly and became bad customers. We also scared the children, so we should apologize."

Faced with Li Fufeng's series of dizzying operations, what other people can react?

Of course, they could only hum a few times, and then walked out of the hotel with him, and some people even waved inside after he walked out of the gate, saying goodbye.

Perhaps the only one who reacted differently was Yin Xubai, because he still wanted to take those two corpses away.

And this is of course impossible.

Not to mention that Li Fufeng disagreed, the others did not agree either.

Judging from the changes in the hotel just now, if this is a copy of a horror game, the two corpses are definitely the props that directly lead to the appearance of the final boss, a proper death level in the game.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the entire hotel became depressing again, there was an atmosphere that the lore of the horror game was about to come, and everyone hurriedly worked together to drag out the uncooperative Yin Xubai, which was a sigh of relief.

Even though he was already some distance away from the hotel gate, Yin Xubai still looked back frequently, trying to protest: "That's a clue to supernatural power, if we can take away the research..."

"Isn't a ghost that can communicate more valuable than two corpses?" Li Fufeng interrupted Yin Xubai with a sentence, which also successfully changed him from a struggling state to a contemplative state.

"Of course ghosts are more valuable." In less than three seconds, Yin Xubai made a judgment, "But are you sure you can communicate?"

"I think it is possible." Li Fufeng gave the answer.

Everyone else thought of his weird behavior just now, and they all fell silent.The world is changing too fast. Even if they have accepted the existence of supernatural power, a dead ghost suddenly appears, which still challenges their three views.

"Really, really..." Liu Ningshuang reacted most violently, her throat rolled up and down, but she didn't say that word, "Is there really an owner in this hotel? Have you seen it?"

"That's not true." Li Fufeng shook his head.

Before Liu Ningshuang breathed a sigh of relief, he added: "But I can feel his presence. To be precise, I have always had that feeling of being watched. This should be a special talent, right?"

"If it's really a ghost, it should be the kid named Adams that everyone guessed." Li Fufeng said in a deep voice, "From the fact that he just scares us and doesn't do anything else, I think he can communicate. If possible, I want to develop him into a special member."

—What he didn't say was that his proposal was mostly out of sympathy for the child.Even if it was a ghost, he didn't want to treat a child in a malicious way.

Li Fufeng's proposal can be said to be refreshing.

Develop a ghost into a special member?It sounds absurd, but it's really exciting.

If it can be successful, it is indeed much more valuable than taking away those two corpses for research.On the contrary, if you follow Yin Xubai's approach, it will definitely anger the ghosts in the hotel.Not to mention whether they have the ability to fight against ghosts, even if they have, they may have to pay an unbearable price, and this is unnecessary.

Especially when I went to the hotel the next day and found that the candy on the reception desk had disappeared, Li Fufeng's conjecture that "ghosts can communicate" was basically confirmed to be true.

The Supernatural Affairs Investigation Bureau unanimously approved Li Fufeng's proposal.Decided to try to gain favor with ghosts as much as possible.Of course, this plan also has a certain time limit.If you can't succeed all the time, you can't continue endlessly.

From that day on, people would go to the hotel every day to "raid" ghosts, and everyone would bring various gifts, such as candy, snacks, children's toys, new comic books and so on.Li Fufeng was the most diligent and patient person who went there. He would read storybooks in the hotel every time, sometimes for hours, and would ask various questions, even if he never got any from the beginning to the end. respond.

More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye. The snacks, candies, and gifts that they brought to the hotel disappeared every time the next day. It can be seen that the ghosts accepted the gifts, but other than that, there was nothing else. express.

Everyone's patience has run out.

After all, among this group of people, Liu Ningshuang actually likes children quite a bit, but she is really afraid of ghosts and can't control herself at all.And most people are like her.

Chu Xingrui has a special status and status, and has never been a patient person, even though he seems very easy-going.

As for Yin Xubai, he is very interested in ghosts, but this "interest" is different from ordinary people.

Calculated in this way, Li Fufeng may be the only one who sincerely wants to make friends with ghosts.

This time, it was rare for everyone to go to the hotel together.It was also because there had been no progress for more than a month, and the Supernatural Affairs Investigation Bureau began to try plan two and plan three.

And Li Fufeng hoped to give him more time.

He feels he and Adams have developed a strong friendship.Although the other person did not give any response.

Thinking back to this point, Liu Ningshuang couldn't help but cast a glance at Li Fufeng who was on the far right in the back row of the car: "You are really brave!"

Li Fufeng looked confused: "???"

But he didn't have time to ask what Liu Ningshuang meant.

Because the hotel has arrived.

Everyone got out of the car, took out their IDs, and walked towards the hotel under martial law. Yin Xubai's expression was the most serious: "I still stick to my previous thinking."

His so-called idea, of course, was to study the two corpses.

It's not that he is cruel and cruel by nature, it's just that to Yin Xubai, human corpses are just dead objects, no different from other materials. If he can contribute to scientific research, it is a very natural choice.If it was his own body after death, if it was useful, he would be willing to do research for others.

Moreover, he did not intend to conduct destructive research, but only wanted to conduct some sampling.

Li Fufeng smiled slightly: "I have a hunch that there will be a breakthrough today. Children will no longer play hide-and-seek."

"Really?" Yin Xubai opened the door first, doubtful, "—but we have already wasted 41 days."
