Chapter 960: "Psychic Storm" (36) Hidden Dangers
Dr. Joseph swiped his card to pass the security check. The pneumatic gate was lifted with a "bang". The old man walked very fast and did not wait for anyone. Li Ang hurried to catch up.
After walking through a corridor, Joseph suddenly slowed down and walked side by side with him, pointing at the magnetic card in the employee tag hanging around Leon's neck and said:

"This A-level decryption privilege is only temporary. Whether you can keep this card for a long time depends on your performance."

"I will do my best and follow your instructions." Li Ang was very respectful, his tone full of obedience and loyalty.

"Very good." The doctor was quite satisfied with this attitude and answer.
The old man walked to the front with his hands behind his back, looking very proud, while Li Ang lowered his head cautiously, like a little follower, not daring to overstep his authority for fear of angering the director with a strange temper.

The front gradually became spacious and bright, and a magnificent underground secret facility appeared before his eyes, which reminded Li Ang of the old movie "Gundam" he had seen before;
The minimalist industrial style decoration style, black, white and gray cold-toned walls and tables and chairs, crystal clear artificial stone floor tiles, pale white LED light strips surrounding the surroundings,
Thick glass curtain walls separate countless separate office and research areas, and everywhere are neatly bundled fiber optic cables, cabinets, detectors, mechanical cranes, and large and small screens.

The psychic researcher in a white coat was holding a cup of coffee and typing on the keyboard with one hand. The trash can was full of empty paper cups and golden cans. He relied on caffeine and taurine to drive away sleepiness. His eyes were fixed on the screen, and he was mumbling like chanting a sutra.
These "Frankensteins" are all Joseph's favorite students, doctors of psychic science trained by the old man himself. Their average age is around 40, and each of them is a technical master in the field.
Normally, they acted like top scholars, and looked down on the rich as if they were local tycoons. But in front of old man Joseph, these arrogant scholars became humble.
When the researchers saw their mentor coming, they put down their coffee cups and Red Bull cans, dropped their work, and came over to greet him.
Their expressions and actions were like those of devout believers worshiping the Holy Lord. In their eyes, their mentor was no different from a god. The researchers stared at the young man behind their mentor with some curiosity, as there were very few unfamiliar faces here.

Joseph cleared his throat and introduced, "This is Mr. Leon Vilnius, the head of the security department."

The psychics in white coats looked at each other in bewilderment. The top psychics in the industry were all familiar faces, and no one had seen the name of this visitor in any of their papers or journals.
Some people speculated that the doctor had brought distant relatives to visit, so they smiled and said:

"Teacher, please go and do your work. I will show this boy around the laboratory."

"No, no, no, Mr. Leon is not here to visit." Joseph shook his head:

"I brought him here for assessment, to see if he has talent and whether he can take over Mr. Diego's job."

The researchers all nodded silently after hearing this, and some were delighted: "Great! This is the talent we urgently need."

Li Ang was filled with questions after hearing this, and thought anxiously: (What the hell? Assessment?! You didn’t tell me…

Let me take over someone else's job...steal someone else's job? Won't that offend people?)
·
"You're too young, is that possible?"

A short and fat female researcher looked at Li Ang distrustfully, then looked at her mentor Joseph:

"Teacher, are you sure? He will take over Diego's class?" "Didn't I tell you? It's to be tested! It's to be assessed!" Joseph glanced at the student unhappily:
"The results haven't come out yet, why are you worrying so much!"

The female researcher trembled all over as if she had received an electric shock, and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, teacher... You know, I have low emotional intelligence and it's easy to offend people..."

Although the image of the female researcher in front of him was not flattering and she had just doubted her own ability, Li Ang still could not underestimate her;
Those who can enter the B14 laboratory are all outstanding people with an annual salary of one million.

These top experts trembled like children in front of their mentor, which shows Joseph's status in the world of psychic science.
The old man is the king of this field.

These serious scholars had questionable emotional intelligence, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Li Ang smiled awkwardly and greeted everyone, trying to ease the atmosphere. He didn't want to offend anyone as soon as he arrived, so he asked in a low voice;

"Excuse me... who is Mr. Diego you mentioned?"

(I have to explain to this big brother that this was all arranged by the doctor. I am not trying to steal his job on purpose...) he thought.

·
A tall, thin researcher raised his bamboo-like arm and pointed to a framed black-and-white photo hanging on the wall of the hall:
"Yes, that's him."

The photo was obviously a portrait of a deceased person for people to admire. Li Ang felt uneasy when he saw it. He didn't dare to ask any more questions. His face looked ugly as if he had a stomachache.

Several researchers wanted to laugh when they saw Li Ang in such an embarrassing state, but they did not dare to do so in front of their mentor and could only cover their mouths to hold back their laughter.

"Diego was my last assistant, responsible for the security of B14. He was very dedicated. I hung his picture here to motivate everyone to work hard." Joseph said somewhat awkwardly:
"Diego died in a... um... research accident... to be more precise, he died from a huge amount of psychic radiation.

It's a pity that such a rare talent died in his forties...

His body... was secretly cremated several days ago."
