Chapter 228 - the First Meet with Hong Liang (1/2)

It seemed that Wen fell asleep because his soul life was regained. Several people came to the rooftop to discuss countermeasures.

Liu Shuai soon got Ren’s contact information. After a discussion, Xiao Hong and Lele would stay to protect Qili and Wen. Zhou Yuan, Liu Shuai, and Hao Ning would rush to Pinging to ask Ren the questions.

Hao Ning thought it was only necessary for him to go with Liu Shuai, but Zhou Yuan was worried about the danger in Pingjing. The reason was that Long Fei had encountered problems there. He would be worried if he didn’t go with Liu Shuai and Hao Ning. After all, he was a god. He could help them with Virtualized reality at least. So, he insisted to go with them. As for Xiao Hong, it’s safer for him to stay here in S city. After all, Lele is a young god who might not be able to handle all the situation. Xiao Hong could take some care of things here.

Hao Ning was moved when seeing Zhou Yuan’s persistence. He knew that Zhou Yuan’s parents are at home. The length of time of going to Pingjing was uncertain. Even if Zhou Yuan would not be able to rest assured about his parents, his willing to go to Pingjing was a great sacrifice. Hence, he didn’t refuse Zhou Yuan’s good intention. Everyone set off.

The circle escape of the moment god was so fast that they got Qingbei University within a short time. The three men discussed the problem while looking for the building of Ren’s teaching and research office.

“Liu Shuai. “Hao Ning looked at the beautiful campus of the University, but he didn’t have any mood to think of his college life. “In your opinion, what is Pure Land of Bliss? How can it be so destructive?”

“I don’t know,” Liu Shuai shook his head, “but Xiao Hong just told me that it should be related to Yi Pingzhi.”

“Why?” Zhou Yuan quickly closed his eyes and felt something. He found that he could not feel Spiritual Flying Bugs in Yi Pingzhi’s body and was relieved, “why did Xiao Hong have this guess?”

“Did you forget that?” Liu Shuai reminded, “after Lele got shot by the mysterious needle of Yi Pingzhi, her soul quickly aged.”

“I see it now!” At this time, Hao Ning thought that if it wasn’t for the case that needle made Lele’s soul, they would not save Lele with the incense of the Riches treasure. If he didn’t save Lele in that way and become the “treasure God” in Xiao Hong’s words, he wouldn’t save Wen by the way of the Internet money incense. It was hard to tell the cause and effect.

“Xiao Hong was just guessing.” Liu added, “But after all, because the results of the two were too similar, we have to be skeptical. He also reminded us to be careful. Yi Pingzhi and these people are not as easy to deal with as those we met before.”

“Are you Mr. Liu Shuai and others?” As soon as they arrived at downstairs of a building, a young student asked with a mobile phone in his hand, “Mrs. Ren asked me to wait for you here.”

“Eh?” Liu Shuai looked at the student, “how did you know?”

“Mrs. Ren gave me the photos,” the student laughed, with a pimple on the corner of his mouth. He shook his mobile phone, “Mrs. Ren was afraid that her teaching and Research Office would not be easy to find so that you might waste your time on that. She asked me to wait for you here. Besides, your photos are very recognizable….”

When Liu Shuai looked at this picture, he felt sad again. This was a picture taken when he and Wen were at dinner one night. Wen didn’t say anything at that time. Now it seemed that it must be Wen who sent this picture to Teacher Ren. And if a girl sent such a picture to her elders, would her feelings toward him be more obvious?

“If Wen recovers,” Liu Shuai said decidedly, “I will propose to her.”

“You…” Hao Ning and Zhou Yuan didn’t know that this Sichuan man can think so much when he saw a picture. Since Liu Shuai said so, they didn’t say anything.

“Liu Shuai, I didn’t expect that.” Ren said when he saw the three people. He put down the document in his hand, smiled and invited them to sit down. “Just after Mr. Chen told me about you, you appeared. The young people are really efficient and much better than we were before.”

“This…” Liu Shuai scratched his head. Although he was in a hurry, he could not ask directly, “we happen to be nearby, so we come to see you.”

“Good, good, good.” Mrs. Ren said “good” three times with a smile. Obviously, the way he looked at his grandson-in-law and the expression on his face was saying, “you are a filial grandson.” Teacher Ren looked behind Liu Shuai and said, “what about Wen? Aren’t you together? Why don’t you two come to see me, but there are two more – human beings?”

“Nonsense!” Hao Ning and Zhou Yuan smiled bitterly. Now the old lady has no one in her eyes but her son-in-law. What did she mean by saying two more “human being”? Or should there be two more “ghosts”?

“Wen….” When Liu Shuai mentioned Wen, his eyes were dim. Hao Ning thought it was not good. In case that if Liu Shuai said something wrong, the old lady would hurry to go there, Hao Ning took the conversation. “Wen has a lot of things in the hospital recently. And she has some things that need Liu Shuai and us to help in Pingjing. Well, we happened to have some doubts about some things, so we came to visit you.”

The stress fell on “visit”, which showed that they did have something to ask.

“Oh?” As soon as Teacher Ren heard it, she got interested. She was quite impressed by Hao Ning. After all, Hao Ning’s explanation of the quantum theory in front of her was attractive. Teacher Ren smiled kindly and asked, “kid, why are you visiting me? What do you want me to do?”

“Well, Yufei was busy some time ago.” Hao Ning was organizing language, because he couldn’t say what happened to Long Fei. He said as he thought, “he asked us to ask you something before he left.” With that, Hao Ning took out a ring from his pocket, that is, Soul Cutter and put it on the table. “He asked us to find you and study this together. And he asked us to tell you that Yufei doubted that it’s related to Hong Liang. Mrs. Ren, who is Hong Liang?”

“Hong Liang?” Teacher Ren was stunned, pushed her glasses and looked at the ring. “I don’t know anyone called Hong Liang,” she said, picking up the phone. “Wang Juran, can you come here for a moment?”

“Mrs. Ren, I’m here.” The student they saw just now ran in.” Mrs. Ren, you want to see me?”

“You know so many people in our department.” Teacher Ren asked. “Can you check whether there is a person named Hong Liang in every term?”

“OK.” Juran nodded, “how do you write the name?”

Ren pointed to Hao Ning. Juran looked at Hao Ning. Hao Ning was stunned. Right, Long Fei just told him that it was related to Hong Liang, but he didn’t write it down. He scratched his head awkwardly and said, “I’m sorry. I only heard about this name. And I don’t know which two characters are in this name….”

“Well.” The boy thought for a moment and said, “it doesn’t matter. I have a way. I can make a program to expand the search scope. The result would come out very soon!” Then he left.

“Program?” Hao Ning looked at Liu Shuai. Were the students here all like long Fei, who was a programming expert?

“Hao Ning,” Teacher Ren looked at the ring on the table, “is this ring very important? Why do you have to find Hong Liang?”

Hao Ning scratched his head and was about to speak but saying nothing. Teacher Ren saw this and got angry. She frowned and said, “you come to me to ask about such a thing. Even if there is a student named Hong Liang here, I can’t let him see you directly if I don’t know the specific situation.”

The old lady’s words were also reasonable. Although she knew Hao Ning, she didn’t know who he was and what his character was like. If there was such a student, she wouldn’t let the student deal with such a person. What could she do if something happened? The school would be responsible.

“Mrs. Ren,” said Hao Ning hurriedly, “I’m not a bad person.” But Hao Ning’s words seemed to be a poor lie. Teacher Ren’s expression went even more strange.

“I didn’t say that you are bad people.” Teacher Ren said to Liu Shuai intentionally or unintentionally, looking at Hao Ning with a strange expression. “But I believe a saying: a gentleman is open and poised, and a petty man is unhappy and worried….”

Liu Shuai couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Mrs. Ren was really learned. It was clear that Hao Ning was hiding something, which made him not a gentleman but more like a petty man.

Damn, it was time. You couldn’t blame me for doing this! Hao Ning made up his mind, “Zhou Yuan, Liu Shuai, protect Teacher Ren. Don’t let her be scared.”

“Eh?” Ren was surprised. “What are you going to do?”

Liu Shuai knew that the Hao Ning meant that he was about to show his special skill, and hurriedly comforted Teacher Ren, “Mrs. Ren, Hao Ning will show you something, so that you can understand why we need to find Hong Liang. We must have no malice, but these things can go beyond your understanding. So, don’t be afraid.”

“Come on, you little kids.” Teacher Ren said with a smile. “I’ve been studying quantum mechanics for so long. I have seen many strange experimental phenomena and theories before. Are you trying to scare me?”

“Take a look at this.” Hao Ning put on this ring and activated it with his mind. The Yang Soul Cutter immediately flew out. Two blades flew towards a wood chair. In order to make the old lady see it clearly, Hao Ning also made the two blades show their shapes. After the blades flew around the wood chair for a while, the wood chair suddenly turned into a pile of powder, and at the same time, a stink came out.

“Why is it so smelly?” Liu Shuai and Zhou Yuan hurriedly cover their noses and opened the window. The old lady frowned and didn’t speak. She looked at the powder on the ground and was dazed. Hao Ning knew that people who saw these things for the first time could not accept it. He simply didn’t explain and let the old lady think about it for a while.

“Mrs. Ren, I found it. But- What the hell? What’s the smell?” Juran knocked on the door and came in. He was about to speak with some documents in his hand, and hurriedly covered his nose, “what’s going on? Whose ammonia bottle is down?”

“Juran, what did you say?” Teacher Ren seemed to have caught something. She stopped frowning and asked, “what did you say just now?”

“I said I found it.” Juran was scared by Ren’s eyes. Usually, Teacher Ren was kind, but at that time she was a little fierce. “I found it. But it’s not one person that related to Hong Liang, but these documents.”

“No, I’m asking you,” Teacher Ren asked Juran to put the documents on the table, knocking on the table excitedly. “what bottle did you just say about is down?”

“Ammonia!” Juran said strangely, “isn’t this the smell of ammonia? Oh, let’s not talk about it. Ammonia is harmful to the human body. I’ll open the window first. Let’s get out of here and let the smell out.”

Teacher Ren ‘s eyebrows knitted in a frown. After taking others out of the teaching and research room, she suddenly thought of something. Pointing to the white powder on the ground, she said to the Juran, “take these powders and test them to see what elements and substances are there.”

“OK.” Juran covered his nose and wrapped some powder on the ground with paper. He left in a hurry.

These people came to Teacher Ren’s office. It was obvious that it was Teacher Ren’s private office. The books were very complete. Teacher Ren looked at the documents which were just brought by Juran and her eyebrows moved. Instead of talking, she turned over the documents and looked at the floor without saying a word.

Hao Ning saw that Teacher Ren turned over the documents and knew that there are differences. The old lady didn’t want to let these people see the documents. Although he didn’t know why he was still a little relieved. This meant that Teacher Ren realized something in her heart, and no longer doubted them.

“Mrs. Ren?” Liu Shuai was the first one who couldn’t help asking tentatively.

“It’s useless to say anything now.” said Teacher Ren in a calm voice, but Hao Ning could tell that Teacher Ren seemed to be a little excited, but she was repressing it. “Scientific hypothesis needs to be tested. I can tell you later.”

“Scientific hypothesis needs to be tested?” Hao Ning looked at Zhou Yuan. Obviously, Zhou Yuan didn’t understand why Teacher Ren suddenly said these words. Didn’t you know what this ring looked like? What else needed to be tested?

“Mrs. Ren.” Juran showed up at the door quickly. Hao Ning exclaimed that no wonder Teacher Ren asked him to do everything. This young man’s executive ability was first-class. “We have tested it. Preliminary identification -”

Speaking of this, Juran scratched his head, as if he was about to speak, but saying nothing. Teacher Ren smiled, “say it. You can say what you tested out. Don’t worry about saying it wrong.”

“I’m not worried about being wrong.” said Juran sheepishly. “Usually the things you asked us to test have at least some particularities, or some surprises, but for this thing, our current conclusion is ordinary silica. There is nothing special….”

“You, are you sure it’s silica?” Teacher Ren shouted excitedly and hurriedly turned out a book around his hand. After looking for a picture for a while, Liu Shuai saw that the picture was nothing else, but a periodic table of elements that made him collapse in his school days. Teacher Ren pointed to the silicon element and asked, “is silicon what you said, silicon dioxide?”

“Yes!” Juran did not know why Teacher Ren was so excited to see this. After thinking about it, he replied boldly, “it’s the silicon dioxide of this silicon. I found several students to test it at the same time. It’s all like this.”

“OK, OK.” Teacher Ren seemed to have lost some control of herself. Hao Ning was worried about the old lady’s dizziness. He said quickly, “Mrs. Ren, it seems that you are not feeling well now. Maybe you can have a rest and we will visit you tomorrow.”

“No, no,” Mrs. Ren quickly waved her hand, and then asked Hao Ning, “can you also let us test your ring to see what elements it is?”

“Well…” Hao Ning thought it was fine. That’s what Long Fei did. So, he gave the ring to Teacher Ren. He didn’t worry about it. He was now integrated with Soul Cutter. If he wanted to take it back, he would immediately take it back with his mind.
