Chapter 277 Bell of Truth
Yi Shenshou said: "Teacher, I will take her to the dormitory first."
Yan Shupei frowned quickly, then he set his gaze on Ai Wanxin.
The girl in front of me was tall and straight. Although her face could not be seen clearly because she was wearing black-framed glasses and a mask, there was an invisible aura radiating from her inside out, which was completely different from that of an ordinary student.
He asked, "Which institute are you from?"
Yi Shenshou stepped forward to block Yan Shupei's sight and said, "I'll send her back and come find you soon."
Yan Shupei immediately understood that the girl might not be their student, but the boy's girlfriend.
Although he didn't quite agree with Yi Shenshou distracting his attention at this time, he still nodded.
"Come to the lab and see me as soon as possible."
When Yan Shupei left, Tu Dou and the others had already disappeared in disgrace.
Ai Wanxin looked at Yan Shupei's back as he quickly left, her mind racing.
The relationship between these two masters and apprentices doesn’t seem to be that bad. What is going on?
Yi Shenshou led Ai Wanxin to the dormitory area. Ai Wanxin asked curiously, "Are you really evaluating the most beautiful girl in the school?"
Yi Shenshou paused slightly, the tip of his ear on the side away from Ai Wanxin turned slightly red, he shook his head slightly: "No, it was just a rumor spread by classmates in private."
Speaking of which, I wonder what Brother Han and the others were like when they were in school?
Ai Wanxin looked at Yi Shenshou's slender shadow on the ground and couldn't help but think.
"It's the girls' dormitory inside, I won't go in." After walking for about ten minutes, Yi Shenshou stopped in front of an antique building and said in a gentle voice, "The leader just now was called Pang Kun. He was also the teacher's student. Later, for some reasons, the teacher didn't take him with him anymore."
He didn't say why, he just said: "You offended them today, you should be more careful in the academy in the future. If they make things difficult for you, come to me."
Having fought against each other in the same trench, the friendship is different. Since he said so, Ai Wanxin naturally would not refuse.
"Where can I find you?" She raised her head, and her eyes behind the plain lenses were as bright as a clear spring.
Yi Shenshou looked into her eyes and heard himself say, "If I'm not on duty at the Academic Affairs Office, I'm in the lab."
Ai Wanxin's eyebrows curved slightly: "I just need to get familiar with this place. I'm still not very familiar with Science City. Can you take me around again?"
Yi Shenshou hesitated for a moment: "The teacher asked me to go to the laboratory to find him. I will take you around later, okay?"
Ai Wanxin's clear eyes sparkled: "I'll go with you and recognize the door of your laboratory, okay?"
Yi Shenshou opened his mouth and found that he couldn't say no to her.
He looked away and hummed softly.
The Central Science City covers a vast area, with a towering white tower as its center. Four radial main roads divide the science city into eight areas.
The four areas near the north, from west to east, are the boys' dormitory area, administrative area, teaching area and girls' dormitory area.
In the four areas near the south, major research institutes are located, and laboratories are located in each institute.
Just now they came out of the administrative area and first went to the Pilot Academy which was set aside in the teaching area, and then to the girls' dormitory area.
Now we have to walk from the girls' dormitory area to the Institute of Biology, which is basically located at the diagonal position, which really wastes a lot of time.
When passing the central white tower, three deep and simple bell tones were heard from the top of the tower, carried far away by the gentle breeze of the Glorious City all year round.
"What is that?" Ai Wanxin asked.
Yi Shenshou looked at the towering spire in the sunlight and said, "That is the Bell of Truth."
“Even during the most chaotic times, the bells never stopped ringing.”
Just like human beings will never stop pursuing truth and facts.
But he didn't say this out loud.
After walking for another ten minutes, a white circular building appeared in front of us.
The building, which had an unusual shape, was ten stories high. The first floor was far above the road surface, and there was a long and wide stone staircase in front of the building.
A round-faced boy in a white coat was panting as he ran down the long stairs.
He ran while waving to Yi Shenshou: "Brother, hurry up, hurry up——"
Yi Shenshou hurried forward two steps, then stopped again, turned to Ai Wan and thought: "I may be away for a long time..."
Ai Wanxin smiled and said, "I'll just walk around. Don't worry. I'll wait for you."
As he was talking, the round-faced boy had already run up to the two of them. He panted and said, "Brother, the teacher has asked you eight hundred times why you haven't arrived yet."
Yi Shenshou said quickly: "Please take care of my friend for me."
After saying that, he strode up the stone steps, leaving his little round face turning to look at Ai Wanxin blankly.
"Friend...friend...?" His slightly childish voice was a little distorted because of surprise.
Ai Wan was curious and asked, "Does your senior brother usually have no friends?"
The expression on the little round face changed several times, and finally hesitantly said: "It's not that I don't have any. I can still talk to my senior brother."
Ai Wanxin looked at him with amusement. Seeing that he was obviously young, with a small round face still showing the childishness of a teenager, she asked, "How old are you and what's your name?"
The round-faced boy had just run up such a long flight of stairs, and his cheeks and neck were a little red. He said shyly, "My name is Yuan Xiaodan, and I'm sixteen this year."
Ai Wanxin widened her eyes slightly: "You are only sixteen?"
Yuan Xiaodan nodded: "I'm from the junior class."
Ai Wanxin walked up the stairs very naturally and asked, "You are so young and you are already doing research with Dean Yan?"
Yuan Xiaodan didn't know she was trying to trick him, so he told her everything: "Originally I wasn't qualified, but isn't this a global evolution? Many of my senior brothers and sisters have passed away, so the teacher asked me to come into the lab to help out."
"Oh? You call the end of the world the global evolution?"
"Our teacher said that whether it's the appearance of sentinels or guides, or the mutation of animals and plants, the essence is that species have collectively evolved in a short period of time, just in different directions."
Ai Wanxin was not interested in these academic things. She then asked, "Are you studying this now? This, the global evolution?"
Yuan Xiaodan nodded: "Yes."
"So what do you usually do?" The two of them reached the top of the stairs. Yuan Xiaodan scanned his fingerprint to open the glass door and took her into the cool and secluded interior of the research institute.
"I helped my senior, took notes, and did some simple experiments." Yuan Xiaodan answered every question. He said with a little pride, "My senior said that I did a good job and that he would let me choose a direction for independent research in the future."
Ai Wan was surprised and said, "You are really amazing."
Yuan Xiaodan lowered his head in embarrassment: "I'm not as good as my senior brother, he is really smart——"
Ai Wanxin's attention had long been diverted. She didn't expect that it would be so effortless to get in. She was observing the surrounding environment calmly.
The interior of the institute is also based on pure white. The first floor is a deep and wide hall, with no laboratories or people walking around.
Yuan Xiaodan took Ai Wanxin to the elevator: "Sister, our laboratory is on the tenth floor. Can I take you to the lounge to wait for my senior brother?"
