Chapter 107: Those Who Leave Their Names for Eternity! Blood Demon and Black Blood
With too many people and eyes around, Bai Yu ultimately didn’t discuss the case with Professor Wang Wen in such a setting.
In the blink of an eye, it was almost nine o’clock.
Everyone in City Hall came outside and lined up in two rows.
Looking out across the entire City Hall plaza, it was densely packed with at least three thousand people, yet not a sound could be heard!
The streets on both sides outside City Hall were also filled with people.
Many of Professor Kong Shen’s extraordinary research findings were also greatly beneficial to ordinary people!
For example, various crops improved by spiritual energy had greatly increased yields for ordinary people, and their taste was quite good.
In the new era of surging population, it maintained relatively stable prices for agricultural products, ensuring a lower cost of living.
These would naturally be publicized among the general populace.
Precisely at nine o’clock.
The Vice Director of the Research Institute, a close friend of Old Kong, walked onto the stage and slowly introduced Professor Kong Shen’s life.
Because too much about the extraordinary could not be involved in front of the public.
Therefore, this was only the tip of the iceberg of Professor Kong Shen’s contributions!
Twenty minutes passed exactly, and the hearse in the distance slowly drove in.
The emotions of the citizens on both sides of the road became exceptionally agitated.
These were all direct beneficiaries of his scientific research achievements.
Contract personnel like Zhang Youpeng, who understood the extraordinary world, were also gathered here.
Some of these contract personnel had entered the Qi Gathering Realm in the cultivation grounds established by Professor Kong Shen. Naturally, they felt indebted!
After a while, the hearse stopped, and four people carried a coffin made of black jade into the City Hall plaza.
Everyone watched the entire process.
The person on stage also spoke for a while, with words that only those familiar with the extraordinary field could understand the deeper meaning of.
“His name is like a secret buried by time, leaving no trace in the clamor of the mortal world. For fifty years, he walked on the edge of knowledge, exploring the limits of human cognition.”
“His passing is like the fall of a star, silent and soundless in the night. Yet his contributions have left an indelible mark on history.”
“His name was not shouted from the heavens, but his footsteps have already etched immortal chapters in the annals of history.”
“His life may have ended, but his legend has just begun.”
Bai Yu’s thoughts were complex; he recalled a saying.
‘Most people don’t know why he died, but one day, this world will prove him right!’
As his thoughts drifted, the black jade coffin was also carried into City Hall.
At the same time, the speech on stage finally stopped.
Next were moments of silence, prayer, singing of dirges, and eulogies.
The Big Boss of the Special Investigation Bureau of Tianhai City also delivered a speech in City Hall.
And the main content of his speech was to avenge the Alien Race!
This was clearly not just talk; there would inevitably be a major operation next.
At this moment, with the leaders of the various Alien Races injured, it was a prime opportunity!
Bai Yu clearly remembered that the Great Purge Operation was mentioned in the Blood Pi Xiu statue.
And in the previous intelligence about the Blood Pi Xiu, this item was seized by the Vampire Clan and later caused chaos in many places.
‘In this Fate Line, the Great Purge Operation dealt with the Blood Pi Xiu! It helped alleviate the subsequent crisis.’
Everything proceeded according to the schedule, and it was busy until eleven o’clock.
During this time, no Alien Race dared to come and disturb them.
If any Alien Race dared to act alone in Tianhai City, they would be completely annihilated.
Afterward, it was time for the banquet.
The location was a large hotel under Yunan Group, not far away. Most people chose to walk there.
Walking on the road, Bai Yu’s mood was still somewhat heavy after the two-hour solemn ceremony.
He even wondered if Professor Kong Shen could be resurrected like Big Boss Liu Jun.
After a moment of silence, Bai Yu asked Professor Wang Wen, “Old Wang.”
“Hey! You’re getting more and more disrespectful!”
“Hehe~ I was planning to chat with you about something, and always using a respectful title is too troublesome.”
“Go ahead! I’m curious, what is it that you, my boy, came to find me for this morning.”
Bai Yu thought for a moment and first asked, “If you, Old Man, reached Professor Kong Shen’s level and were also targeted, what would you do? Would you be afraid of death?”
If anyone else had asked this, Professor Wang Wen would have rolled his eyes and refused to talk.
After all, this completely lacked an understanding of the extent of Professor Kong Shen’s contributions! He would be hard-pressed to achieve it in his lifetime.
But when Bai Yu said this, he became curious, thinking: What is this brat trying to bring out? Is he trying to harm me?
After considering for a moment, he said, “Heh! Afraid of death?”
“Do you know that back then, I was working on a potion to accelerate Spiritual Essence condensation. I spent a lot of money on it, and everyone around expected me to succeed, but the final experimental results showed that I had taken the wrong path!”
“Do you know what I was thinking?”
Seeing Professor Wang Wen’s serious expression, Bai Yu stopped joking and asked, “What were you thinking?”
“Behind my laboratory back then, there were many cliffs. I planted many Spiritual Plants there for experiments. I remember I was very dejected, looking at these Spiritual Plants, feeling utterly lost. As I walked, I suddenly stepped on soft soil and almost slid down the slope. I’m in the Qi Gathering Realm, so I wouldn’t die from a fall. But I looked at the loose soil on the cliff…”
At this point, Professor Wang Wen stopped talking about the topic and became emotional, saying, “If I had died! I could have been considered a martyr! At least my reputation would be preserved.”
“But if I lived, I really wouldn’t know how to face anyone.”
“The Spirit Yuan Realm back then was considered a mid-to-high-level expert! I…”
At this point, Professor Wang Wen became emotional.
Perhaps part of it was due to Professor Kong Shen’s sacrifice.
These researchers, working silently in the dark, carrying burdens, in the end, wanting neither money, power, nor women, only seeking success and eternal fame!
A nation without history cannot understand this profound sense of weight!
Professor Kong Shen sacrificed himself, but at least he had a perfect ending.
Just then, Professor Feng walked over, patted Professor Wang Wen on the shoulder, and looked at Bai Yu, half-smiling, “Haha~ Why did you make Old Wang cry, you brat?”
Professor Wang Wen immediately cursed, “Get lost! I just got sand in my eyes.”
“Alright, alright, sand in your eyes, sand in your eyes.”
After a moment of silence, Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, “I actually have two major contributions here that can be handed over together…”
“Get lost! I make tens of millions by the minute, and my experiments are swamped. Now I still have to help Old Kong’s students restore the Eight Gates Spirit Gathering Array, I’m swamped. Besides, are those called contributions? You clearly want me to be your labor!”
Hearing this, Bai Yu bared his teeth!
Damn it~! It was quite touching just now, but now it makes me want to roll up my sleeves and fight.
However, he also heard a key piece of information.
Restoring the Eight Gates Spirit Gathering Array!
It seemed that after Old Kong passed away, his students couldn’t even manage the Eight Gates Spirit Gathering Array.
Also, Old Kong’s Power of the Ancient Gods was Zhuangzi! What he created was not something anyone could learn.
‘Sigh’
Sighing inwardly, Bai Yu still chose to come clean with Old Wang.
He first looked around to see if anyone was nearby, then whispered, “Do you know about the Blood Demon?”
“Blood Demon?”
Both of them asked with confusion.
Seeing this, Bai Yu understood that only some people knew this information.
Director Yang was likely doing his best to keep it secret, so the Vampire Clan wouldn’t know that they had discovered the existence of the Blood Demon and captured a living one!
After considering, the two of them were researchers.
Regardless of whether they could handle Magic Scrolls or not, Bai Yu found them to be the most suitable people to approach right now.
All the intelligence regarding the Blood Demon from Director Yang’s side was provided by him, so there was no need to have any objections.
After thinking it through, Bai Yu said, “The Blood Demon is a liquid monster…”
Professor Wang Wen, however, stopped him, “Stop!”
Then, he looked around and whispered, “You brat really don’t care about any confidentiality agreements!”
“I only learned about this thing from Director Yang yesterday. He asked me to research it and sent over some samples.”
“However, I should only be one of the researchers; there are definitely others responsible. It’s just that we all keep it secret from each other.”
Hearing this, Bai Yu’s eyes widened.
He thought: Damn! I’m being sincere with you, and you’re playing mind games with me, right?
So your confused tone just now was because you were wondering how I knew, right?
Alright, alright! I’ll remember this!
However, from this, it seems that after he handed over what he made to Director Yang, they had already started dealing with it.
He thought there was no movement.
Of course! How could there be no movement in such a matter? It was just being carried out secretly, so everyone couldn’t perceive it.
Professor Feng, standing beside them, was a bit confused about the situation.
He was not in this field and had clearly not received any assignments. Moreover, with problems among his students, it wouldn’t be appropriate to find him.
Seeing this, Bai Yu took a deep breath and said, “I haven’t signed any confidentiality clauses, and Director Yang didn’t ask me to sign any. However, let’s discuss this matter in a private place this afternoon. I have a second matter as well.”
Wang Wen saw that Bai Yu’s first topic was the confidential Blood Demon, and he immediately took it seriously.
Professor Feng, on the other hand, looked somewhat helpless.
He had initially thought Bai Yu was a traitor without understanding the situation.
Although the two seemed to have reconciled, there was still some lingering distance that needed time to wear away, otherwise, it would be difficult to achieve the current way of interaction between Professor Wang Wen and Bai Yu.
Seeing Bai Yu hesitating, Wang Wen cursed, “You brat are dawdling, what’s the second matter? Just say it. You can start by mentioning some peripheral information.”
“Can’t you organize your thoughts? The Black Blood Case, you know it, right?”
Both of them nodded.
“Yes, this case first appeared in North City. The few old guys responsible for researching the black blood, we both know them.”
There weren’t many professors in the extraordinary field, so their circles were quite small, like living in the same neighborhood, it was normal to know each other.
“Our Seventh Group is currently also responsible for the Black Blood Case, and the Black Demon Ancestor behind it has some connection to my Power of the Ancient Gods. Therefore, this case is very important to me.”
“Now, after research, I have discovered an ancient acupuncture technique that might be able to induce symptoms in latent patients early, allowing for early treatment when the Black Blood Disease is less severe.”
“There is also a complex Medicinal Formula that requires Spiritual Fire to simmer, which can be used to weaken the symptom response of the Black Blood Disease and ensure the survival rate of latent patients.”
Both of them had discussed the Black Blood Case with old friends, mainly because they also realized that the disease was uncontrollable, and even they could be infected.
At this moment, hearing Bai Yu say he had two methods, they fell silent.
But… they felt that since it was Bai Yu saying it, there was no need to be particularly shocked.
Professor Feng thought carefully and interjected, “The main person in charge of this case is Yuan Guofeng, Professor Yuan. His status is a bit higher than ours.”
“His specialty is medicine, which fits the criteria.”
Bai Yu thought for a moment and explained his inner thoughts for seeking them out: “My idea is actually very simple, I just don’t want to expose myself in front of more people. I’m looking to see what methods you two professors can come up with.”
Wang Wen smiled and said, “If you trust me, just hand it over to me, and I’ll go treat that Old Yuan!”
Bai Yu looked unconvinced. He always felt that Professor Wang Wen wasn’t particularly reliable.
Professor Feng added, “Old Wang does have a rather special relationship with Yuan Guofeng. He should be able to keep it a secret. However, are you sure you want to hand it over instead of solving it yourself?”
“Of course, I won’t solve it myself! I just need to improve my strength. As for research-related matters, I’ll leave them to the experts. Otherwise, if I’m too dazzling, I might not have much time left.”
Professor Wang Wen patted his shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, you provide the technology, and I’ll pay.”
Bai Yu’s eyes instantly lit up.
Great! My poor days are over!
“How much are you planning to pay? I still owe the Group Leader forty-six million!”
“??? Didn’t I give you a card before? What did you do? Even thousands of girls wouldn’t spend that much, right?”
“Hehe~ Hehehe~ The auction! So many good things, waiting for me to indulge, how could I not make a move?”
“…That’s true! Then I’ll pre-pay you fifty million. No more than that, my experimental funds are also tight right now.”
“Didn’t you just say you make tens of millions by the minute? How are you poor again?”
“Wasn’t I bragging?”
Bai Yu was speechless.
“Fine! Fine, fine, fine!”
“Fifty million, this money will allow me to pay off my debts, and I’ll be comfortable. By the way, Old Wang, how do you plan to handle this matter?”
Professor Wang Wen rolled his eyes. Asking for a favor, you call me Professor, you old man.
Now that he sees I have no money, you call me Old Wang!
“I don’t even know what your acupuncture and medicinal formula are. It’s possible that Old Feng and I can handle it, so there’s no need to find others. Don’t forget, I’m also a medical professor!”
“That’s true, you didn’t mention it, and I forgot you studied medicine. Then let’s have a long talk tonight!”
“Last time we looked for you, you seemed very reluctant, didn’t you?”
“Did I? My passion for scientific research is absolutely unstoppable by anyone!”
“Heh~”
Inside the grand hotel.
Bai Yu’s Seventh Group and Professor Wang Wen’s group of old men shared a table.
With too many people and eyes around, they naturally didn’t discuss serious matters.
After eating for about an hour, the banquet concluded, and people began to leave.
Bai Yu informed his Group Leader and then planned to go have a long talk with the two professors all night.
Unexpectedly, two men in military uniforms walked over.
Bai Yu initially thought it had nothing to do with him, but then the two came up to him and politely asked, “Excuse me, are you Investigator Bai Yu?”
“Uh, yes. Is there something?”
“Madam Yu requests your presence. She has something important to say, please come with us.”
Madam Yu?
He remembered Liu Ruoxi had just mentioned Grandma Yu.
Damn! Isn’t that Old Kong’s widow?
Why is she looking for me?
Regardless, in this setting, for such a person to seek him out, it was impossible to refuse.
“Okay.”
Saying that, he didn’t even have time to say a word to Li Yunbin and the others before following them.
After Bai Yu left, those who were familiar with him looked at each other.
They were indeed somewhat puzzled.
Professor Wang Wen couldn’t help but mutter, “Why would Madam Yu look for Bai Yu?”
He glanced around and saw that familiar faces like Li Yunbin were also unaware of the situation, so he didn’t ask further.
“Then let’s sit here and wait.”
“Alright.”
