Chapter 21 Fragments Reappeared

Jiang Xiaobai was lying on a deck chair outside the research institute. A serious, unsmiling man came to him instead of Jiang Xiaoqian.

"You must be Jiang Xiaobai. Come with me!"

Without waiting for Jiang Xiaobai's answer, the middle-aged man turned around and walked into the research institute.

Along the way, the two of them kept silent. Seeing that the middle-aged man had no intention of talking, Jiang Xiaobai felt embarrassed.

He didn't like people as cold as ice. If someone had done this in front of him in the past, Jiang Xiaobai would have taught him to behave well.

When he was young, he had given lessons to countless people.

"Jiang Xiaobai, you've just come here. I want to give you a piece of advice. Learn to behave yourself before you do anything." The middle-aged man slowly stopped and looked at Jiang Xiaobai meaningfully.

"I hope you can think twice before you do anything. Don't be reckless. You will pay for everything you do."

Jiang Xiaobai's eyes were cold and he didn't say anything.

This man seemed to be giving his advice, but in fact, he was expressing his dissatisfaction.

Did he ever mess with the man?

When the middle-aged man saw that he did not reply, he took Jiang Xiaobai to the door of Professor Zhao's office on the second floor underground. He nodded and left.

Jiang Xiaobai knocked on the door.

"Professor Zhao, it's me, Jiang Xiaobai."

"It's you. The door is not locked. Come in."

When Jiang Xiaobai entered the office, Professor Zhao was looking at a green stone with a magnifying glass.

"Have a seat." Professor Zhao looked up at him and continued his work.

Jiang Xiaobai began to look around Professor Zhao's office.

Big white walls. Old wooden floor. A desk stood in the middle, and in front of it was a sofa for guests. Behind it was a row of bookshelves, which were full of books.

"Xiaobai, you are here so soon. What do you want to do? Just tell me. I will let them cooperate with you."

Professor Zhao was probably tired. He took off his glasses and looked at Jiang Xiaobai.

"Professor Zhao, please don't bother. I just want to have a look. I want to be familiar with this place."

"That's good. You may find something new if you know more about it. I'll ask someone to show you around these places, but according to the rules, all the researchers have to sign a secret agreement when they participate in major projects."

Professor Zhao took out an agreement and hinted Jiang Xiaobai to sign it.

The agreement was very simple. It read that he could carry out his work with the support of the research institute, but he had to keep the relevant secrets. Once they were leaked, he would be held liable.

Jiang Xiaobai took a glance at it and signed his name on it.

Professor Zhao nodded with satisfaction. He put away the agreement and took out a work card from the drawer.

Jiang Xiaobai's name and post, as well as his identification photo and the seal of the research institute, were on it.

"Let's go. I have time to go with you now."

Jiang Xiaobai followed Professor Zhao to the working area. Along the way, everyone greeted him and was also curious about Jiang Xiaobai.

There were not many people in the world who could let Professor Zhao lead the way in person.

Across the long corridor, they were heading towards the experimentation area. There's much less staff in the experimentation area. Perhaps they were all working in the lab.

Jiang Xiaobai quickened her pace to catch up with Professor Zhao and hesitated for a while. "Professor Zhao, may I ask who the middle-aged man was that took me into the laboratory before?"

Professor Zhao narrowed his eyes, turned around, and stared at Jiang Xiaobai.

"He is my student, Wu Gangyi. Do you think he is too cold?"

"Not really. I just don't think he is easy to get close to."

"Not easy to get close to? That's not what you really think, is it? You may be dissatisfied with him in your heart."

Jiang Xiaobai rubbed his nose and said, "You are being oversensitive, professor."

"In fact, he is a good man. Although he is cold, he is impartial and abhors evil. If I hadn't protected him, he would have been peeled off."

Jiang Xiaobai was stunned. He suddenly felt that the middle-aged man was not so annoying.

"But let me tell you. He is really dissatisfied with you. Do you remember what you did with your sister a few days ago? He has seen it."

Embarrassed, Jiang Xiaobai stood still with a red face. He's so embarrassed that he could dig out three bedrooms and one living room with his toes on the ground. It turned out that the middle-aged man had seen him stealing the fragments before.

No wonder he said those strange words to me!

"Well, let's go. Let me show you the wealth of our lab."

Soon, Jiang Xiaobai saw what the wealth was.

A large group of source stones were piled up in the laboratory.

There were various and countless samples of ancient animals and plants.

What impressed Jiang Xiaobai was that one of them was like a tiger's skull, more than three meters long.

"What's this?"

Looking at the large bucket of transparent liquid in the glass box, Jiang Xiaobai immediately thought of water.

But then he denied it immediately. How could ordinary water be placed in a storage room full of treasures?

Jiang Xiaobai craned his neck to smell the box and felt dizzy. He immediately held his breath and withdrew his head.

"Have you forgotten what the middle school teacher taught you? Don't smell anything unknown in case of being poisoned." Professor Zhao found this scene very interesting.

He hadn't seen such a fool...no, a cute child for many years.

"That's the dark water of the witch power. During the ancient war, there was a river that was a thousand feet deep and dozens of meters wide. When the beasts smelled it, they would die. It was not only highly toxic but also very corrosive."

"However, although so many years have passed, it can still make you feel dizzy. It seems that the witch power is not to be underestimated."

"The witch power? What kind of power is that?"

"It's a branch of the godly power. It's cruel and bloodthirsty, known for its creepy way of attacking and killing, which is hard to guard against and always gives people a headache. At the end of the Era of Wildness, it was them who fell from the sky, started the war, and killed many masters of the Era of Wildness."

Jiang Xiaobai nodded and memorized every key point. In the face of enemies, he had to go all out. He couldn't slack off.

Jiang Xiaobai followed Professor Zhao inside. There were weapons, building materials, dried animals, and even human corpses of the Era of Wildness.

"Professor, there are so many source stones here. Why haven't you used it? What a pity!"

Looking at the piles of source stones in the storage room, Jiang Xiaobai felt a little regretful.

In the Era of Wildness, ordinary warriors would do anything they can to compete for a piece of source stone. Betrayal and the broken relationship between brothers triggered by this kind of competition were common. But here, it was left unused and no one cared about it.

"How can I use it? Except in the relic, I can't cultivate the wildness martial arts at all. Once it comes out, its strength will be greatly damaged. Moreover, after tens of thousands of years, the vitality of these source stones has been released a lot, and there is little left. What's the meaning of using it?"

Only then did Jiang Xiaobai realize that it was a brand-new era now.

He kept silent and observed all kinds of things in the storage room.

This is living history!

By chance, he glanced at a piece of black fossil, and his eyes could no longer move. The closer he got, the feeling that he had seen it somewhere else surged into his heart again.
