Mansis left the meeting room as half the sun had already sunk into the western horizon. Regarding Parker's remains, a roomful of great scientists had discussed nothing of any practical significance.
In the hallway on the 12th floor of the Great Void research building at the Spiritual Ability Research Institute, Mansis ran into his female student, Wang Ailin.
This young Asian girl, only 27 years old, had demonstrated abilities that were no less than those of her contemporaries, the top psychic scholars. She was one of the most powerful brains on the planet, and it must be said, even Mansis was somewhat envious of her.
Wang Ailin wore a black business suit with a white lab coat over it, her left arm cradling a thin notebook computer.
"Professor, what a coincidence," Wang Ailin waved to Mansis.
