Chapter 33 (2/2)

The professor smiled, “during the age of light, the only dark matter we could detect was Neutrinos, but the amount of them can be ignored in the world of dark matters. The rest of dark matters and dark energies were all just hypotheses. There was no evidence to support them, until the dark age… But…”

Chu Yunsheng was enthralled by the information, he immediately asked, “but?”

Professor Sun waved his hands and said, “It doesn’t really matter now if I tell you this. We did intensive research on dark matter and dark energy just after the Sun disappeared. Unfortunately, the time was limited. Because of the insects, our research was terminated. So we still couldn’t answer all the questions. This is an esoteric subject. If we could understand it, not only would we be able to eliminate the insect, but also we would even be able to fly out of our solar system.”

Chu Yunsheng nodded his head secretly. He believed that the dark energy professor Sun was talking about was probably Yuan Qi. It was probably the same kind of energy, but the people from different times or different worlds called it differently.

When he was still in the building No. 8, his neighbor had told him that the power that the Ice-punch man had might contain dark energy. But he didn’t expect that it would be true!

Then he suddenly remembered that he had kicked the old man earlier. Normal people wouldn’t be able to withstand his kick at all.

Last time, the thug he kicked had a serious injury. Even Gu Liming, who had also been kicked by him earlier, was still rubbing his belly to this moment.

‘Is he an awakened human as well? But will there be other awakened humans as old as him?’

Thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng asked with hesitations, “are you…?”

“Yes, I am an awakened human as well. But my dark energy is very weak. I can’t use it in battle. It’s barely enough for us to do research,” the professor replied with self-deprecating humor.

Chu Yunsheng was surprised. He always thought that the awakened humans were best in fighting. He didn’t expect that there were awakened humans that were not good at fighting. Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that he still knew too little about them.

He believed that the ancient book had information about those awakened humans. But because the book was too difficult for him to understand, he only selected the part, which was very important to him, to study. He always thought that if he had a dictionary for this ancient book, it would’ve been perfect.

Professor Sun didn’t know what Chu Yunsheng was thinking. He s.h.i.+fted his attention to Yu Xiaohai and said, “your friend is very strange. Based on the few cases we studied before, the awakening process is very dangerous. Your friend obviously can not control the chaotic dark energy inside his body, but why is nothing happening to him?”

Chu Yunsheng suspected that it was because the energy s.h.i.+eld was suppressing the chaotic dark energy. But he didn’t want to tell the professor this. Although he appreciated what the professor had told him, and he also felt sorry that he had kicked him earlier, disclosing the information about energy s.h.i.+eld meant that he would disclose the information about his defense mechanism and the ancient book. This was something he didn’t want.

Then the professor said another thing, that instantly made his hair stand on end, “what a pity that we don’t have lab equipment here!”

Chu Yunsheng instantly had a terrified expression on his face. Professor Sun quickly realized what Chu Yunsheng was thinking. He couldn’t help but laugh, “people are always scared of human lab research. However, in my entire academic career, I’ve never seen or heard anyone hurt any awakened humans!”

Chu Yunsheng didn’t expect that this old man would mistake him as an awakened human. But it was good for him. It meant that everyone else wouldn’t find anything strange about him.

After he heard the old man’s explanation, he smiled. Although he still did not know when Yu Xiaohai would wake up, and seventy two hours of retreat time was getting closer and closer, he started to have a good impression of this old man.

After all, he had told him a lot of things that he did not know before, so he made a deal with the old man. He gave the old man a half bag of bread, but the old man needed to tell him everything he knew about the awakened humans.

Chu Yunsheng was relieved when he heard the old man say that in his knowledge, no one was more powerful than Chu Yunsheng.

“Ah!”

Suddenly, a shout burst out in the quiet roof. It was Yu Xiaohai, he finally woke up!
