Fast Travel Absurdity Sutra

Lantian stopped Ma Pingyuan from calling the police.

Because the situation is urgent, there are only Ma Pingyuan and Lantian in the entire laboratory.

"Teacher Ma, please call Professor Fu Ming over first. This matter is quite complicated and involves a large spy organization on the island nation. By chance, I learned some inside information. Please invite Professor Fu Ming over first, and I will tell you what I have learned. Then, we can discuss our next steps."

Lantian looked at Ma Pingyuan with a sincere gaze. She sighed inwardly, thinking of modern society, where everyone has a cell phone—how convenient it is. What should she do? She began to miss modern society.

Ma Pingyuan took a deep breath.

His entire body was trembling. Besides anger, he was also filled with disappointment at the betrayal of the student he had carefully nurtured. Could it be that there was something seriously wrong with his judgment of people?

After hearing what Lantian said, Qian Xi's legs went weak and he collapsed on the cold concrete floor of the laboratory. Under Ma Pingyuan's gaze, which was full of anger and disappointment, his psychological defenses collapsed.

His lips trembled as he confessed his crimes again.

Qian Xi collapsed on the floor of the laboratory, tears and snot mixed together and flowed freely down his cheeks.

Under Ma Pingyuan's gaze filled with anger and disappointment, he completely collapsed and confessed his crimes with trembling lips.

"I... I was plotted against by those two reactionaries, Cang Yong and Kuraki Yoshiko!"

His voice was tearful, and every word was filled with regret.

"There was a person named Wu Mumu who was sent by them. I was arrested because I was greedy and wanted to buy some pork and beef on the black market to satisfy my cravings. After Wu Mumu bailed me out, she used this incident to threaten me, saying that if I reported this to Peking University, I would be expelled. She also promised that as long as I followed their instructions, she would send me to study abroad, implying that they had connections in the Ministry of Education who would definitely make it happen. I... I was bewildered and did this foolish thing! They wanted to frame Professor Ma for treason and undermine our country's scientific research!"

Memories flooded back like a tide, bringing Qian Xi back to the night that changed his destiny.

It was a sweltering summer night, and the air was filled with a damp smell.

Qian Xi had been busy in the laboratory all day and his stomach was already growling with hunger.

He remembered that he had heard that some rare food could be found on the black market, and his greedy nature made him walk towards the black market.

Under the dim lights, the black market was bustling with noise and all kinds of transactions were taking place in hidden corners.

Qian Xi stopped in front of a big man selling meat. Looking at the fresh pork and beef in the big man's black bag, his mouth was watering.

He negotiated a price with the big man, paid, and took the meat.

Suddenly, several men in uniform rushed out and shouted, "Don't move! Black market transaction, come with us!"

Qian Xi was so scared that his face turned pale and his legs went weak. Before he could react, he was taken to a dim room.

Qian Xi sat in the room with his head in his hands, his heart filled with fear and regret.

He knew that once the school found out, his studies would be over.

Just when he was in despair, a tall and beautiful woman walked in. She was Wu Mumu.

Wu Mumu had a faint smile on her face, but her eyes were cold.

She looked at Qian Xi and said slowly:

"Qian Xi, right? I can help you solve this problem, as long as you are willing to do me a small favor."

Qian Xi raised his head, his eyes full of doubt and expectation:

"What help? Can you really help me?"

Wu Mumu walked to Qian Xi and patted his shoulder gently:

"Of course, I have connections up there. As long as you do what I say, this will be treated as if it never happened. What's more, I can even send you to study abroad."

Qian Xi was shocked, studying abroad has always been his dream.

But he also felt that things were not that simple, and he said hesitantly:

"I... What can I do? It's not illegal, right?"

Wu Mumu sneered: "Look at you, you're so timid, what big deal can it be? I just want you to do some tricks in Ma Pingyuan's laboratory. It's just a piece of cake for you."

When Qian Xi heard this, his face turned pale.

He knew very well that Professor Ma Pingyuan was an upright person and had taken good care of him. Wasn't it ungrateful to destroy his scientific research project?

He quickly waved his hands and refused: "No, I can't do this. Professor Ma has done me a favor, I can't betray him."

Wu Mumu was not angry. She took out a document from her bag and threw it in front of Qian Xi.

"Look at this! This is evidence of your repeated involvement in black market transactions. If I hand this over to Kyoto University, do you think you can still stay in school?"

Qian Xi picked up the document with trembling hands. Looking at the detailed records on it, his hands began to tremble constantly and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

He was just a bit of a foodie, always going to the black market to get some food, but why did this guy act like he was stalking him? There were so many photos here, all of them showing him exchanging money and goods with people at the black market.

These photos are incredibly clear.

His face appeared clearly in each photo.

The vendor either turned his face away or didn't take the photo.

However, the transaction scene is clear.

Everything he took over was photographed clearly.

His transactions, at a glance, are all clear...

He looked at Wu Mumu in disbelief.

"You, you, are following me? Are these, these transactions, a trap?"

He finally understood why every time he went to the black market, the other party would always come forward and give him things that were cheap and good. It turned out that they were waiting for him here!

"Look, can these deals get you expelled from school immediately?"

Wu Mumu looked at him with a smug look on her face.

"However, as long as you do what we say, I promise that the evidence will disappear. Moreover, I can promise you that I will definitely let you study abroad."

Wu Mumu continued to seduce.

Qian Xi began to struggle violently in his heart.

On the one hand, there is the condemnation of morality and conscience, and on the other hand, there is the worry about one's own future and the huge temptation in front of him.

He thought about his disappointments in the laboratory, his lifelong dream of studying abroad, and then looked at the evidence in his hands.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said reluctantly, "I... I promise you."

The memory ended, and Qian Xi closed his eyes in pain.

He never imagined that a wrong decision he made would lead him into such an irretrievable situation.

Now, his heart is filled with regret.

Why, why, is he so greedy?

Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world?

Ma Pingyuan was so angry that his face turned blue, a mixture of pain and anger after being betrayed.

He clenched his fists, veins bulged on the back of his hands, his knuckles turned white, and his voice trembled with extreme anger.

"Qian Xi! Are you worthy of the country's training? I teach you knowledge and guide you in research, but you collude with the reactionaries, betray your teachers, and betray your country! You... you are simply a scum!"

Ma Pingyuan was heartbroken, his eyes full of disappointment. He could never have imagined that the student he had high hopes for would go down this wrong path.

Lantian was worried that Ma Pingyuan would get angry and get hurt.

She began to persuade Ma Pingyuan to go and invite Fu Ming as soon as possible.

Ma Pingyuan knew that Lantian meant well.

He once again looked deeply at Qian Xi. This wasn't his most proud disciple, but he was also one of his more proud disciples. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought him into his laboratory.

He took a breath, turned and left the laboratory.

Lantian looked at Qian Xi, who was lying on the ground with tears streaming down his face. His eyes were cold and his heart was calm.

In her endless years of traveling through time, there were people who would easily sell their souls for profit.

She has seen too much.

As soon as these people smell the scent of profit, the scale in their hearts that originally measured right and wrong, good and evil would instantly become unbalanced and tilt madly towards the abyss of profit.

In their eyes, morality is nothing but empty words, family affection is discarded, kindness is forgotten, and feelings are worthless. They have all become things that can be discarded at will.

But even so, they always put on a hypocritical expression on their faces, pretending to care about these things. They say high-sounding words in front of others, but do despicable things behind their backs.

Lantian looked at Qian Xi, a barely perceptible sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a strong disgust surged in his heart.

She spat inwardly, "It's truly disgusting. For one's own selfish desires, one betrays everything and even tries to cover up one's ugliness with a false mask. It's truly pathetic and ridiculous."

"Host, I have a system-made Loyalty Pill here. If you don't want to call the police, but you also don't want Qian Xi to do anything bad, you can use your points to buy the Loyalty Pill. Just one pill guarantees he won't betray you. In fact, I think you humans are really weird. How can you place your trust in someone else's conscience? One Loyalty Pill guarantees an eternity of betrayal. I don't need a thousand points, I don't need a hundred points, I only need fifty points to redeem a full bottle of one hundred pills."

The arrogant Ergou suddenly spoke up and tried his best to sell his loyalty pill to Lantian.

Recently, in order to earn points, he has become more and more shameless, even studying marketing systematically. He has learned every sales trick.

Lantian heard this and thought it was the best way to resolve her current situation.

“Okay, exchange.”

As soon as she finished speaking, an antique porcelain bottle appeared in her hand. Opening the bottle, Lantian took a look inside. The bottle was full of brown pills.

Lantian poured out a glowing pill, held it in his hand, and looked at Qian Xi coldly.

She walked up to Qian Xi with a stern look and a cold voice.

"Qian Xi, you only have two options now. One is to take this pill, cooperate with us sincerely, expose Cang Yong's conspiracy, and atone for your sins. I can assure you that this pill is non-toxic and will not cause any harm to your body."

"Hehe, it just changes your consciousness so that you are only loyal to the host."

The cocky Ergou stayed in Lantian's sea of ​​consciousness, watching the excitement outside, and in Lantian's mind, he responded jokingly.

"Go away, I'm doing something important, don't bother me."

Lantian warned the arrogant Ergou in his sea of ​​consciousness.

This Tongzi, have I been too nice to him recently? He just started a dyeing factory after being given some color.

"Alright, alright, host, please keep it up. I'm leaving now. Make sure you zip up my mouth."

When the arrogant Ergou heard Lantian's thoughts, he immediately became dispirited and tried to please him immediately.

"Shut up."

Lantian yelled at Ergou viciously.

(⊙x⊙；)

There was silence in the sea of ​​consciousness.

It's finally quiet!

"Second, we will hand you over to the public security organs now and let the people judge you. You can make your own judgment!"

After hearing what Lantian said, Qian Xi's body shook violently. He slowly raised his head and stared at the glowing pill in Lantian's hand.

Fear surged in his eyes like a raging tide, and hesitation shrouded him like a fog. His hands unconsciously clenched the corners of his clothes, and his knuckles turned white from the force.

His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he swallowed hard, trying to calm his inner panic.

However, when he met Lantian's sharp and majestic gaze like a cold star, he was suppressed by an invisible force and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Under this powerful intimidation, his will completely collapsed. He stretched out his hand tremblingly and took the pill as if he were taking a bomb that could explode at any time.

His lips trembled, as if he wanted to struggle, but in the end he tilted his head back and swallowed the pill, as if he was swallowing his last bit of resistance.

After a moment, Qian Xi's eyes gradually became blurred, as if his soul had been taken away.

The original cunning and panic disappeared, replaced by chaos.

After a while, he blinked slowly, and when he looked at Lantian again, his eyes were full of awe and obedience. It was an unreserved submission that came from the bottom of his heart.

"Mr. Zhou, Qian Xi is willing to obey your orders."

He lowered his head slightly and observed carefully, and could find a hint of mechanical obedience in his voice, like a puppet being manipulated, with every word spoken with unquestionable submissiveness.

Lantian nodded and began to ask Qian Xi about the situation of Cangyong's spy organization.

Qian Xi told everything he knew in detail.

The more Lantian listened, the more solemn his expression became.

Qian Xi didn't know much.

If he wasn't an important chess piece of Cang Yong, he wouldn't even know the identities of Cang Yong and Kuraki Yoshiko.

Wu Mumu is Kuraki Yoshiko's secretary.

In the eyes of others, she is just an ordinary entourage, but they don’t know that under the instructions of Kuraki Yoshiko, she is involved in one shady conspiracy after another.

Yoshiko Kuraki served as the office director of the armed forces department. She held certain power and was decisive and efficient in her daily work.

The work in the armed forces department seems to be proceeding step by step, but in fact it secretly provides cover and convenience for Cang Yong's spy organization.

Lantian was completely unaware of this complex background information.

In the previous world, she was only concerned with getting rid of Cang Yong and Kuraki Yoshiko as soon as possible. In her haste, she had no time to inquire about Kuraki Yoshiko's detailed background, and only regarded her as a capable subordinate of Cang Yong.

As the mastermind of this conspiracy, Cang Yong regards Ma Pingyuan as the most important target.

Ma Pingyuan has made remarkable achievements in the field of scientific research. His research results are of great significance to the development of the country, which makes Cang Yong feel deeply threatened.

To ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, Cang Yong attached great importance to it and even met with Qian Xi in person as the Minister of Education. After all, Qian Xi was a student at Peking University, so Cang Yong's meeting with him was just the Minister of Education's concern for university students, and it was part of his normal work.

However, although Qian Xi was involved in the conspiracy, he knew very little about it.

All he could access was the part that Cang Yong was willing to let him see.

His mission was simple and clear, which was to destroy Ma Pingyuan's experiment by any means necessary, and to make sure that the experimental project failed until it was cancelled and banned, so as to provide an excuse for Cang Yong to defeat Ma Pingyuan.

Qian Xi confessed to Lantian that Cui Jinshan, director of the Peking University Revolutionary Committee, was also a spy planted by Cang Yong.

Wu Mumu had already arranged for Cui Jinshan and Qian Xi to meet. Cang Yong personally instructed them to work closely together and cooperate with each other to complete the task of destroying Ma Pingyuan's scientific research project and clear the obstacles for their conspiracy.

Lantian pondered for a while and was about to start a meeting to ask questions when he heard the sound of the front door of the laboratory opening.

She went out immediately to see if it was Ma Pingyuan who had returned with Fu Ming?
