Volume 7: Frost Chapter 25 Attractions
Jiang You sat back on the sofa and asked, "What can't you figure out?"
At this time, Jiujiu flew onto the coffee table.
Tang Butian asked, "Why is it here?"
"Soy sauce ordered it to come here to monitor me," Jiang You said half-seriously, "He was afraid that I would have something delicious and fun and not tell him."
Tang Butian was silent for a moment, then she said , "In the laboratory, I used your power to see some images of how the small world works. It's very complicated. The research institute studies the small world and the laws, which is very dangerous. I think they are aware of the dangers."
“The road is made by people. You have to keep walking to know what the scenery behind is.”
"What I don't understand is why they are in such a hurry. It took less than half a year for Mirror Lake to be destroyed. Moving and connecting small worlds is too fast."
"Doing research is all about burning money. This speed is not achieved by burning with fire, but by firing with rocket launchers," Jiang You unwrapped a chocolate. "If there is no result, you might be tasked with researching the elixir of life . This is simpler and more likely to produce results."
"Simple?"
"It's really simple, but I don't know what immortality means. Besides, it's better to research weapons. The results will be visible soon."
"Is there no research now?" Tang Butian asked.
"Yes, but we only have so many talented people. Look, Old Chang has been called back to work overtime every day. Have you noticed that he has much less hair than when he was in Chucheng?"
Tang Butian didn't answer. She also opened a chocolate and took a bite.
Dark chocolate with mint filling.
Jiang You thought for a moment and then said, "The Special Operations Department and the Research Institute were both founded by Xie Dong. When cooperating with the Special Operations Department, the Special Operations Department will not blindly dictate their research direction. This is considered a tacit understanding."
"Xie Dong is dead." Tang Butian said.
"Yeah," Jiang You took a sip of beer and said, "Guan Qingtong came to see me this afternoon."
"What do you want to do?"
"There is a small piece of paper in Xie Dong's notebook, with Meng Yuanbai and Luo Zhen written on it," Jiang You adjusted his posture and leaned on the sofa, "She came to ask me if I had discovered anything when I captured the monster."
"What did you find?"
"Of course not. If there was, I would have reported it to you, the leader," Jiang You threw a melon seed at Jiujiu, who flew over and caught it. "Tang Xiaotian, it's very difficult to kill Xie Dong."
"Who killed him?"
"I……"
As soon as Jiang You opened his mouth, Tang Butian interrupted him, "Don't tell me how I know."
"It's difficult to kill Xie Dong," Jiang You repeated, "and it's even more difficult to disguise it as a natural death."
"Is it him?" Tang Butian asked.
"How about we go and ask?"
"How do you ask?"
Jiang You sat up straighter and moved closer to Tang Butian. "Isn't his body in the research institute? Let's go take a look?"
"But……"
"Let Jiujiu keep watch for us and make sure we won't be discovered."
When Jiujiu heard its name, it raised its head and shook its fur.
"Why do you have to go there secretly?" Tang Butian asked.
"If we don't do it secretly, and their people are with us and watching, what else can we see?"
Tang Butian thought for a moment, then she asked, "Will Jiang Mo come over?"
"I can't control him," Jiang You said something very Chinese, "Since we're here, we should check out some attractions and take some photos." He observed Tang Butian's expression and added, "Look at my day. I just had a checkup, climbed a mountain and got caught in the rain. I didn't see any fireworks or eat any bacon or potatoes. I'm just going to take a look. I won't do anything else. You supervise me."
Tang Butian hesitated.
"Tang Xiaotian, the clue on the small piece of paper is very important. It is so important that he is willing to expose himself to kill Xie Dong. But more important than this..."
"What is it?"
"If it was him, you see, he used unconventional means to get in thirty-one years ago. But as long as he is in, he will be bound by the rules here. For example, your wooden sword can kill him," Jiang You pointed at the wooden sword on Tang Butian's knees. "More importantly, if he is still in this world, he must have a name, and there must be living beings who remember his name. In fact, he should have had a name thirty-one years ago, but you don't know that he was not killed, so he can survive until now."
"Do you want to kill the body?"
"I didn't say that. I'm just curious about what the remains are."
Tang Butian made up her mind and said, "Okay."

After Guan Nuo left Tang Butian, he returned to the dormitory. He found the information given to him by Zhuang Zekun, and after looking at it for a while, he stood up, walked around the room a few times, and finally lay down on the bed.
Open your eyes and look at the ceiling.
He seemed to see a shadow on the ceiling, a human figure. He rubbed his eyes for a moment, and there was nothing on the ceiling except the ceiling light.
He sat up, walked to the window and opened it. The night wind blew hot air on his face. There seemed to be a person standing in the shadow of a tree downstairs.
After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and walked out of the dormitory and went downstairs.
There was indeed someone standing there.
It was a little girl, barefoot and wearing a loose shirt. Guan Nuo suddenly remembered her, and when he opened his mouth to say something, the girl suddenly floated towards the main building, and her figure became fainter and fainter.
Guan Nuo chased after him .
He chased into the lobby on the first floor and looked around, but there was nothing. He suddenly felt a little confused - why was he here?
At this time, Ji Xiaozhen happened to send Guan Qingtong out.
Guan Nuo said, "Mom, Teacher Ji."
"What are you doing here?" Guan Qingtong asked.
Guan Nuo scratched his hair and said, "I, I..."
"You want to come over and help?" Ji Xiaozhen walked up to Guan Nuo and looked at him kindly. "It's okay. Although the accident today caused some damage, it also expanded our understanding of the small world. A lot of precious data was recorded."
"Really?"
"Really? And it's better to find problems now than to find them after they are officially put into use."
"That's good. Can I go up and take a look?" Guan Nuo asked.
"Okay, I'll let Shunan take you up there." Ji Xiaozhen glanced at Guan Qingtong and said, "Qingtong, do you want to go and take a look together?"
Guan Qingtong said: "I won't go. I'm going back. Old Zhu is waiting for me at home."
"Let me take you down the mountain." said Ji Xiaozhen.
"No, I know the way."

Jiang Mo stood on the top of the mountain with a pink unicorn in his hand.
He tilted his head and looked in the direction of the research institute for a while. The wind blew the corner of his pajamas, and a transparent spider silk floated into the barrier with the wind and fell to the ground.
