Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2364 Empty Mushroom
"now?"

The bad guess was confirmed, and Rob's worries only intensified.

However, Fu Qian's next request left him somewhat bewildered.

There is indeed some connection, but considering the conversation on the way here, one can't help but feel that Professor Fu is coming to provide guidance.

"Now."

Fu Qian nodded, and as he spoke, he flipped through the manuscripts around him.

Unfortunately, the Zenju-in's particular habit of maintaining secrecy seems to continue.

Aside from finding a drawing of the four items there, there was no further information, not even a project name.

……

"Here, everything has completely returned to normal."

Despite his doubts, Professor Rob was very cooperative and quickly led Fu Qian to his laboratory.

He pointed to the familiar set of equipment and said that the previous commotion was no longer noticeable.

"It really is suspended in mid-air."

Without questioning this statement, Fu Qian carefully observed the phenomenon the other party had described.

As Professor Rob said, the mushrooms have reproduced much more vigorously, and there are almost double digits at a glance.

The swarm of insects continued to fly in mysterious curves, but it was clear that their target was one or two that stood there without support, as if they had grown out of thin air.

Apart from that, there is no obvious difference in color or shape.

"Could you pick one for me?"

Before Rob could say anything, Fu Qian gestured and quickly made a new request.

As the project leader, Rob's words were certainly correct; there was indeed nothing unusual inside, but that wasn't why he had come.

"……sure."

It felt increasingly eerie, but Rob still cooperated fully by taking samples on site, even specifically choosing the suspended version.

If this thing continues to reproduce, will it one day sprout up and become a sword saint to kill people?
Of course, he wouldn't make the basic mistake of handling the sample. He took the container specially prepared by Professor Rob, took a deep breath of the familiar taste, and recalled the fierce attack that had shattered even the extraordinary form.

It must be said that Master Yuhun has a good eye; the academy is truly a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery.

"The situation is not optimistic, but at least we haven't found any bodies... Can you find any other members of the Benevolent Curse Institute?"

With a sigh, he snapped his hands shut and finally got down to business, directly asking Rob about his social circle.

"I'm only really close to Ah Kai..."

As expected, Rob did not have a wide circle of acquaintances, and in his haste, he didn't even know where to look for people.

"You can go to Lanaya and ask her to help you drag a few people out."

Before paying, he didn't mind and directly said that he could trouble the recent model worker.

……

Leave professional tasks to professionals.

If it was indeed some kind of experimental accident, then no one is better suited to figure out what happened than the instructors of the Good Mantra Institute, who are familiar with miracles.

Specialization is key, and miracles often have rather abstract effects.

Lacking extraordinary perception, Fu Qian has no intention of taking on too much.

Normally speaking, if the organization of the Good Curse Institute weren't so loosely structured, Rob should have reported this matter directly to them.

"Okay... I'll go right away."

Rob clearly realized this as well, and since Professor Lanaya's idea was also very feasible, he immediately agreed.

"You can come back and continue monitoring after that."

Fu Qian then pointed to the swarm of insects and mushrooms, indicating that after doing what needed to be done, it was more meaningful to come back and guard these things than to join in the fun.

"Understood." Rob continued to nod, his thoughts gradually becoming clearer.

……

Although it disturbed my rest, it was still an interesting situation.

It was already dark. After leaving the house, he quickly parted ways with Rob. Fu Qian fiddled with the things in his hands, silently pondering this sudden turn of events.

Ah Kai encountered some kind of accident, and the current situation is undoubtedly highly probable.

And it's almost a certainty that the accident was related to a miracle.

But the fact that the miracle seems to be related to this particular fungus is somewhat of a coincidence.

On the one hand, it was to find the person, and on the other hand, considering the fungal emperor we had encountered before, it was clearly worth investigating further.

Even how to use this thing in his hand, Fu Qian already had some vague ideas—

"So lively?"

While he was pondering, Fu Qian had already returned to his laboratory.

Facing the three people inside who were all looking at him, he couldn't help but marvel at the stark contrast between before and after.

Liu Shuang, Wen Li, and even Professor Lisa, whom I just asked for help not long ago...

"What do you say?"

Professor Lisa was clearly annoyed by his surprise and casually placed a metal cylinder there.

Don't ask about the service attitude; as expected, they delivered to my door as requested.

What's in your hand?

Lisa, with her sharp eyes, noticed the thing in Fu Qian's hand almost simultaneously.

"Experimental materials".

The text did not mention Professor Akai's accident.

"Was this Rob's doing?"

However, Professor Lisa's interests were quite broad. She frowned as she stared at the mushrooms in the box, and the next moment she made a connection to the possible origin of this strange thing.

"Yes, it's something really interesting. Would you like to try some?"

There's a good chance that Lisa knows what Rob is going to do with the new Calaudora Flesh and Blood, since he just applied for a new one.

For a moment, Fu Qian shook the item in his hand, and even actually handed it over.

"Never mind, I don't like mushrooms."

Unfortunately, Professor Lisa looked disgusted and rejected the joke immediately, even though she knew it was a joke.

"Alright... I've delivered the things, I'll be going now."

Before Fu Qian could say anything, she seemed to realize that her words were in line with the habits of certain creatures, and immediately snorted and turned to leave.

They're starting to be able to take a joke now; the dean's efforts haven't been in vain.

Fu Qian said that his question was indeed a malicious implication, and Professor Lisa's reaction was very gratifying.

"It's okay, you can chat with them here a little longer. I have to go out for a bit."

For a moment, he even tried to persuade the three of them to stay, indicating that they could continue gossiping. He then picked up the metal tube containing the divine flesh and blood, played with it, and actually turned and left.

The two people named by him, Wenji and Lisa, laughed and chuckled. While trying to persuade Professor Lisa to stay, they showed little sympathy for the professor's hardships.

……

Oh... are they really that limiting?

It's not just idle talk; he not only left the lab at lightning speed, but after leaving the house, he even rushed towards the outside of the academy, keeping a close eye on the movements of the two items in his hands throughout the entire process.

At one point, he stopped and looked at the container holding the mushroom.

As if something had happened, everything inside was rapidly withering away in the blink of an eye.
