Is it really normal to contain these anomalies?

After understanding O5-13's reasons, Bai Yu no longer had any reason to refuse.

[Please open the drawer, the security code is SYO7513]

Bai Yu did so according to its instructions.

The moment he pulled out the drawer, many more documents than he had imagined appeared in front of him.

But those were not just employment contracts, but more documents with his and his family's names and photos printed on them...

[These are your past identities, I wonder how much you still know]

The display on the screen did not pause, and Bai Yu continued to look through the documents silently.

No wonder O5-13 said 'rejoining'.

The face above was exactly the same as before he traveled through time, but on this Earth, his life trajectory was completely different. Not only did he successfully graduate from university, he also joined the foundation and became a researcher...

You're not as surprised as I expected. Generally speaking, when people experience incredible things, their subconscious nervousness cannot be concealed...

O5-13 looked at the expressionless 'former employee'.

"Should I have any expression?"

Bai Yu sighed, lowered his head and sorted out the pile of documents. He soon found the one he should sign among the many papers.

[Sorry, this is probably the last time I ask about your privacy. I want to know how you view yourself...]

"You should have already handed over the pension and the concealed cause of death to my family in this world."

Bai Yu's answer was irrelevant to the question.

Yet O5-13 accepted it.

【Yes】

"That's fine."

Bai Yu quickly signed his name on the employment contract.

And at the moment when the brush and ink froze, he raised his head and smiled at O5-13, and the deep blue well in his pupils no longer had any ripples.

He has accepted the death that the world has arranged for him.

He is Bai Yu, but he is not 'Bai Yu'. His heart is in that invisible torrent and no longer wavers.

"Well, Mr. 13, let's talk about the Foundation's other matters in the city."

Bai Yu slowly crossed his fingers on the table, and he finally looked like the stationmaster.

And now...

The conversation continued in the darkness.

-----------------

"Stationmaster, Site-CN-36 is a containment site with its main facilities located in Chengdu, Sichuan. This site is equipped to contain and research large-scale spacetime anomalies, and is also responsible for some common anomalies in the southwest region..."

In the corridor, Liu Ming was still giving a simple explanation to Bai Yu beside him.

Now, after the conversation, his identity as the webmaster has been recognized by some foundations.

Therefore, having confirmed that the person next to him was an abnormal humanoid, Liu Ming would not say much.

"Currently, there are seven mobile task forces stationed here, including MTF Sigma-3 and MTF Pi-1. Although you cannot meet them now, according to the training plan, you and the staff of the urban branch may need to carry out short-term missions and training missions with them in the future..."

“…”

Bai Yu was now a little confused. It was the first time he walked out of the circled area.

Most of the Foundation's main buildings here are located above ground, so here he can even see the red flag fluttering among the green leaves outside the window for the first time in a long time...

There are such beautiful scenes in the city, but one has to admit that only by standing on this land can one slightly eliminate the "fatigue" imposed on him by the city.

"Webmaster?" Liu Ming patted his shoulder.

"Ah... Sorry, I was a little distracted," Bai Yu slowly came back to his senses from outside the window, "Is there anything else after the training? Please continue."

"No, Station Master, I mean, the general introduction to the site is over, and the Thaumaturgy Department is just ahead."

Liu Ming gently clicked the access lock in front of him a few times.

As the voice of "Identity information confirmed..." sounded, the airtight door finally opened for them.

"coming?"

There was a lot of space inside, but there was only a woman about 30 years old standing there, wearing a white coat and a short-sleeved shirt.

"You are the stationmaster, right? Hmm... I can tell."

Listening to her words, Bai Yu did not respond.

Her eyes just kept glancing at the Judge of Justice who was floating in a magic circle behind her.

well....

Can you imagine that countless metal instruments would appear in the same place with these talismans, magic circles and other things?

But this place is so weird, it is simply a place where science and magic are combined.

"Yu Xinyu, please hand over EGO. The stationmaster needs it urgently." Liu Ming naturally saw the sword as well. He sighed silently and reached out to ask for it on his behalf.

"Tsk... Next time, buy us more time. We haven't even detected the number of EVE particles yet."

Yu Xinyu smacked her lips, but under the order, she still waved her hand to stop the ongoing technique.

Soon, Bai Yu put the Judge of Justice into the sword ring behind him and asked curiously, "Miss Yu, are you a thaumaturge?"

"Almost! Hurry up and go!" Yu Xinyu explained briefly, waving her hand to send them away. "If you're here, I won't be able to call the others back. The project progress will be delayed again..."

Chapter 170 Return to the City

"Excuse me again, Miss Yu, if I want to learn thaumaturgy, how should I get started?"

Bai Yu asked a question in a very casual manner that surprised everyone.

"Thumbology?"

"Yes, how can I learn?"

"Stationmaster, please forgive me..."

Yu Xinyu touched her chin and carefully looked at the young man in front of her, and asked in a tone that she tried her best to conceal.

"Do you have a PhD in high-energy physics?"

"....." Bai Yu's mouth twitched, "No."

"What about quantum mechanics? Um... organic chemistry would be fine too."

Oh no, now I’m really sweating.

Bai Yu smiled awkwardly, "None."

"....." Yu Xinyu scratched the back of her head. "That can't be helped. Anyway, I really don't recommend anyone without an academic foundation to learn thaumaturgy. It's a pure waste of time..."

"So exaggerated?"

"Hey, Stationmaster, don't take thaumaturgy for granted just because people outside say it's industrialized 'magic.' The key point is industrialization."

Yu Xinyu gave a few simple scientific explanations.

"Throughout the thousands of years of human history, there have indeed been those who were able to rely on experience to perform thaumaturgy. However, since those half-baked individuals simply didn't understand the principles, they were no more capable than you, using thaumaturgy equipment directly. They couldn't be called thaumaturges at all."

"Ah... Sorry, Station Master, I wasn't being sarcastic. After all, being able to shoot a gun doesn't mean you have to be able to make one. It's not your fault."

"It's okay," Bai Yu said, expressing that he wasn't upset. "But I still want to ask...how do I study?"

"You are really stubborn."

Yu Xinyu sighed helplessly, but could only quickly pull a thick book down from the bookshelf.

A Preliminary Study of Thaumaturgy

Bai Yu gently stroked the cover.

"Stationmaster, you don't have to return this book to me. Just burn it at the end, whether you finish it or not. I don't think many people will understand it, but it's better to prevent it from being stolen by someone with ulterior motives."

Yu Xinyu leaned against the table and waved her hands. Normally, she would not hand over the teaching materials so easily, but the other party was the webmaster after all.

"Thanks..."

Bai Yu quickly put the thing into his bag, but this book was not for him to read.

He just thought that Miss Faust would be very interested in these books...

"If you really want to thank me, Station Master, please bring back more of those so-called EGO equipment." The woman suddenly seemed to be no longer sleepy after talking about something interesting. "It just so happens that we are still short of a few projects to apply for funding..."

"Go quickly!"

Seeing her like this, Liu Ming pulled Bai Yu out.

When he was still a supervisor, he tore up many of this woman's funding applications. He knew her character too well...

"How did the Foundation become like this?"

But walking in the corridor, Bai Yu suddenly felt that this behavior was inconsistent with the dark and serious secret organization background he had expected.

How come the performance is just like a squabble between different departments in an ordinary company?!

"That's because you're not in the containment zone right now... The atmosphere on the surface is relatively less oppressive," Liu Ming understood Bai Yu's implication. "Besides, Project Edithta is already one of the Foundation's safest projects."

Too...

Bai Yu felt relieved after hearing the explanation.

If accidents frequently occur at major sites like these in big cities, then the foundation of this world will probably be on the verge of collapse.

"Stationmaster, if you wish, I can take you to the containment area next time."

"Don't... I've seen enough monsters and ghosts in the city. It's better for this world to be more ordinary..."

Bai Yu quickly ended the damn topic.

Now when he saw the containment room, he felt that it would be breached sooner or later, and he had definitely been turned into a lobotomy PTSD.

After chatting about family matters for a while, he soon arrived at the time when Edith opened the door again.

The people and supplies around him have been replaced. Although Liu Ming and the others' virtual status has improved a lot in the Foundation world, it still needs observation and research.

"Stationmaster, see you next time."

"Okay, if my restraining order is lifted by then, you have to take me to your house for dinner..."

Bai Yu responded naturally. Now his identity is no longer just an abnormality, but also a colleague of Liu Ming.

He turned around and, like last time, crossed the river...and returned to the city.

A new group of people walked out from the other side of the door.

"Senior, you're back? Huh? You brought another group of people with you?"

Now the person who controls Edith is no longer Faust, but Cher.

"Hmm..." Bai Yu raised his hand and looked at his watch, "What time is it now?"

"3:13 AM, what's wrong?"

"fine."

Apparently, the passage of time in the two worlds hasn't changed much; only seven hours have passed...

Now, Bai Yu originally wanted to ask where Faust was, but after looking around the room, he found the white-haired woman who was sleeping beside the pile of documents while holding the big backpack.

'Why doesn't she go back to the dormitory to sleep?'

This was the first thing Bai Yu thought of, so he asked the operator next to him in a low voice.

"Faust...what's wrong with her?"

"Senior... Miss Faust just rested," Xue'er also whispered back, "She said she was waiting for you to come back, and there's no need to waste three hours of sleep on traveling back and forth..."

Is it really necessary to save these few minutes of travel?

Bai Yu felt that he couldn't seem to understand the genius's train of thought...

"Senior, do you have something to talk to her about?" Xue'er saw Bai Yu walking gently towards Faust.
