Doomsday Rebirth: The villain is forced to be whitewashed

Chapter 386 The Breakdown of Adults
While waiting, Shi Yan leaned against the back of the chair, crossed his legs, and looked at the window without knowing what to think.

The unkempt man, who was pushed in, immediately lowered his head nervously when he saw the indifferent girl waiting for him.

Shi Yan said directly: "Teacher Shen, raise your head up."

She said, looking back at him.

The man was stunned when he heard her words, he was in a dilemma and didn't move.

Shi Yan said politely and coldly: "Sit down, I'm just a little curious, you're not doing your research in Xiacheng, why did you appear here?"

Not a question, but a certainty.

But judging from what she said, unlike those rude and vicious soldiers last night, she seemed to come to have a friendly discussion with questions.

Shen Ziqing looked at the restrained and beautiful girl on the seat, hesitated for a while, walked over slowly, and carefully sat down opposite her.

Shi Yan looked him up and down with his dark eyes. "It's not a special aircraft of the Academy of Sciences, nor is it used by the civilians of the Empire. Teacher Shen, besides being an excellent scientist, do you have any other identities that we don't know about?"

Shen Ziqing tried to calm down and said, "Without my wife, I'm just an ordinary teacher."

Shi Yan threw the confession on the table. "Then what are these?"

What was written in the statement was that he wanted to take a free flight to Xiacheng, but he didn't know the actual identities of those people, nor did he know why they deviated.

Before, Shen Ziqing thought that he would stay in the laboratory all year round, no one would know him, let alone the soldiers on the border of this new city, so he wanted to make up a reason for them to let him go, and then find a way to go back.

Who would have thought that it was a coincidence that I ran into Shiyan who came to inspect the new city.

If Shi Yan hadn't paid special attention to him before, he might not have recognized his embarrassed appearance last night.

She looked at the young man opposite and clicked on her notebook. "You are a scientist from Xiacheng Highest Academy of Sciences, so you still need a free flying machine?"

Shen Ziqing saw that she couldn't hide it anymore, she just pretended to be calm and broke the defense, and began to fidget.

When Shi Yan saw him, he didn't say anything, and stood up. "Since you don't want to talk about it, I have to tell the officer about it."

"Don't!" Shen Ziqing pleaded nervously: "Madam, please don't say anything, or I will lose my job in the Academy of Sciences!"

"Is the work of the Academy of Sciences important?"

"That's where I've fought my whole life!"

"It's really touching." Shi Yan was expressionless. "That's the bargaining chip you use to trade illegally with others?"

Hearing her words, Shen Ziqing's pupils trembled, his face turned completely pale, and he looked at her in disbelief.

Seeing his reaction, Shi Yan knew that he had guessed right.

She sat up and moved closer to him. "Mr. Shen, who are you making a deal with?"

Shen Ziqing trembled uncontrollably, his lips turned pale. "I... I didn't."

"What are you guilty of without?"

"No! Ma'am, please listen to my explanation. I have absolutely no intention of entering the Academy of Sciences. The world can learn from it!"

Shi Yan didn't bother to listen to his loyal remarks, so he said directly: "Tell me. What deal did you make with that bald man, and why did you appear here last night?"

After she finished speaking, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and said coldly: "If you dare to lie to me again, I will ruin your reputation."

It's not a threat, it's a fact.

Shi Yan wanted to tell Gu Lincheng about this, not to mention staying in the Academy of Sciences, he might even go to jail, ending his research career.

Shen Ziqing looked at the pretty and thin girl opposite, who seemed harmless, and said in a broken voice, "I don't want to do that either."

His restrained words were full of remorse, but it didn't seem like regret, it might be more helpless.

Shi Yan didn't have any sympathy, and asked again indifferently: "What kind of deal did you make with that person?"

Shen Ziqing confronted her for a while, and was defeated without any suspense.

He put his hands on his forehead, half covered his eyes, and said bravely: "The original virus extracted from the body of a super-evolved zombie!"

A super-evolved provirus!

When Shi Yan heard this, he couldn't help raising his voice. "Do you know the consequences of that!"

Facing her excited appearance, Shen Ziqing raised his hand to protect his head reflexively, and said quickly: "I know, I know. So what I gave him was an inactive deep-frozen encryption device, which requires specific equipment to activate it. !"

"How can you be sure they can't activate?!"

"This equipment is only available in the S-level laboratory of the Biochemistry Building of the Academy of Sciences. The conditions for applying to use it are very strict, and those people are absolutely impossible to get it!"

It is difficult to enter the Academy of Sciences, let alone the S-level laboratory in the biochemical laboratory building, which requires multiple verifications to enter.

It seems that he is not so naive as to be stupid.

Shi Yan suppressed his anger. "Why are you doing this?"

Seeing her sitting back to her seat, Shen Ziqing hesitantly put down the hand covering her head, and said with difficulty: "Because of the money."

Because of money?
Is he about to trigger a second Armageddon because of money? !
Shi Yan stood up "shua", wanting to slap him hard.

Shen Ziqing reflexively hid back, staying as far away from her as possible.

He looked at the girl with anger hidden in her eyes, and smiled helplessly. "Ma'am, do you think that as a researcher of the Academy of Sciences, it is unbelievable for me to say such a thing?"

Suppressing his anger, Shi Yan asked coldly, "Are your salaries very low?"

"It's not low, but it's very high." Shen Ziqing said without love, "But I have a father who retired from the X Special Mission Department."

Shi Yan was startled when he heard this, and looked at the young man who seemed to be overwhelmed by reality and life, without any backbone that a scientist should have.

She is well aware of the fate of unnaturally evolved supernatural beings, and has seen people like Guo Zongqi reach middle age, but she has never seen the real final outcome of those injected with X-1 supernatural powers.

Shen Ziqing said in despair: "In order to fight against the virus cells in his body, even if he doesn't eat or drink, he will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars every month just lying on a hospital bed. Besides, I have a sick mother, And my younger brother who is still in school."

The banquet is at a loss for words. "...Isn't the empire responsible for the treatment costs?"

"Only responsible for the expenses of the first three years. Three years, nearly ten million expenses." Shen Ziqing didn't blame, but just said to himself: "The average person dies in a year at most. But if he doesn't die, what can I do? Tell him to die quickly?"

Shen Ziqing said while covering his face and inhaling, choked up and said: "He joined the Special Mission Department just to allow me to receive the best education, how could I do such a thing."

From the interrogation last night to the confrontation just now, Shen Ziqing was afraid, but he didn't shed a single tear. He always maintained the calm and decency that an adult should have, until he talked about his father.

Maybe the collapse of an adult is just this moment.

Looking at the crying man, Shi Yan could suddenly feel his deep sorrow of pain, self-blame, and inability to change.

Is it because she also has a father?That's why I learned about reasoning, favors and accidents.

Or maybe it was just because he was so miserable.
