Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 165 The Beginning of the Apocalypse!

Looking at Jones, who was enjoying great success on the stage, Horn said in a low voice, "Mayor Bai, Jones is a talented kid, but unfortunately he is dishonest. I hope you can help him."

Bai Jingyu nodded: "He works under me, and I will keep him in check."

People with wicked intentions often act logically.

Money, beauty, fame, power.
These people are like donkeys. As long as you find their taste and hang the corresponding carrot in front of their heads, they will tirelessly move towards the carrot and will not do anything unexpected along the way.

Even mental illnesses tend to exhibit relatively fixed behavioral patterns, such as how they react to certain stimuli.

There is only one thing that is difficult to fathom.

That is love.

Only those who possess love can truly do things that defy comprehension.

A person of justice renowned far and wide may commit countless heinous crimes for the sake of their own children.

Similarly, a ruthless executioner might lay down his weapon and calmly accept trial for the sake of a woman who comforts him.

Love can blur the lines between interests and losses, causing people to lose their rationality and do things that are difficult for others to predict.

So far, Bai Jingyu has not found any evidence that Jones loves anyone. Unless he abandons Jones, Jones will never be able to escape his grasp.

“No matter what he thinks in his heart, I will make him a shining academic leader, at least on the surface. Jiuchuan needs such a reputation to attract talent,” Bai Jingyu said slowly.

Horn sighed softly, "Thank you."

He looked at Jones on the stage, feeling a pang of sadness.

Jones was his disciple. Years ago, Jones stole the laboratory's research results, which was a deceptive act of deceiving the world and stealing fame. Moreover, Jones refused to listen to advice, so he was so angry that he expelled Jones from his school.

He regretted it later.

It's not that Jones shouldn't have been punished, but that he was punished too harshly.

Jones was very young at the time, and his public expulsion of Jones from his school ruined Jones's future.

The research community is very closed; even the slightest rumor can spread like wildfire.
He publicly expelled Jones from his school.

For a long time, no research institute would take Jones in. At that time, it seemed that Jones's later life was almost completely cut off from science, and all his efforts in the first half of his life had come to naught.

All the hard-earned degrees, accumulated knowledge, and cultivated relationships vanished overnight.

He brought this upon himself; it's both pitiful and lamentable.

Fortunately, Bai Jingyu took Jones in and allowed him to work at the Nirvana Institute.

Many years passed in the blink of an eye, and Jones developed the incredible miracle drug K, completely turning his life around.

"So now, please give a warm round of applause to welcome my former teacher!"

On stage, Jones spoke loudly.

Bai Jingyu said softly, "Professor Horn, it's your turn. There might be an earthquake later. I've arranged for robots to be on standby nearby. They will protect you."

Horn paused for a moment.

"An earthquake?" he wondered. "They predicted an earthquake in Hisakawa, yet they still made us hold a press conference?"

In recent years, geological disasters have occurred frequently.

Earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions are happening everywhere. It's just bad luck that Hisakawa experienced one, but the fact that they specifically chose to hold a press conference during an earthquake is a bit puzzling to him.

Is the press conference really that important? The results have already been achieved, so why can't the press conference be held after the earthquake?
"Time waits for no one," Bai Jingyu said slowly. "Moreover, today's earthquake is different. Someone will tell you the specifics after the press conference."

Bai Jingyu glanced at the back row without making a sound.

The two boys sat in a row.

They were wearing the same white t-shirts and blue jeans, and whether it was intentional or not, even their sitting posture with their hands on their thighs was exactly the same, as if they were made from the same mold.

They all look very well-behaved.

Bai Yuetian was also there, and he smiled at Bai Jingyu.

Bai Yuekui came to prevent the situation from getting out of control, Bai Yuetian came to protect the young Bai Yuekui, and the young Bai Yuekui came to protect Professor Horn.

Everyone has something to do today.

The researchers on the platform had cleaned the floor and laid down a carpet, completely separating the traces left from the last experiment.

Number 19, holding the kitten, retreated to the backstage area under the guidance of the nurse.

At this moment, Horn stood up.

Amid thunderous applause, he went up on stage and faced Jones.

Jones gave Horn a warm hug.

He whispered in Horn's ear, "Teacher, you never thought I'd end up like this, did you?"

"Thinking about it carefully, if I hadn't been expelled from the sect by you back then, and had stayed by your side all along, I probably would never have reached the heights I have today."

Jones faced the audience and smiled throughout his speech.

The applause drowned out his words, and no one knew what he was saying to Horn.

After a two-second silence, Horn replied, "Congratulations, Dr. Jones, you have lived up to your talent."

Jones was stunned.

At this moment, Horn pushed Jones aside and introduced the Angel Potion to the audience.

"As Dr. Jones said, the Angel Potion promotes the regeneration of nerve cells, which complements the effects of the Miracle K Potion. The combination of the two could very well create the first immortal being in human history."

"I'm very much looking forward to working with Dr. Jones." "But first, I want to demonstrate the effects of the Angel Potion."

Horn has experienced many such scenes.

He didn't waste time on the reporters' flashing lights and questions, but went straight to starting the experiment.

This experiment was originally supposed to be conducted by his prized disciple, Bai Yuekui. He was getting old, and only Bai Yuekui could inherit his mantle. This was a good opportunity to bring Bai Yuekui to the forefront.

But Bai Yuekui refused, saying he had more important things to do that day.

Horn stood next to the white mouse.

He glanced down at the audience, his gaze sweeping over the two Bai Yuekui.

What's so important about sitting down there? Besides, Yue Kui has a twin sister, how come I didn't know that? Didn't Teresa only have one child?
Horn was somewhat puzzled.

However, he quickly regained his composure and focused on conducting the experiment.

Below the stage, the two Bai Yuekui simultaneously lowered their left legs, raised their right legs, and looked at each other.

"Can you please stop imitating me? Are you a child?" The young Bai Yuekui could no longer tolerate it.

She didn't understand why her "twin sister" had to move in sync with her every time she changed positions.

The timing and amplitude were exactly the same. If I had to point out the difference, it's just that, for some reason, her twin sister looked a bit more elegant.

Perhaps it's related to her eyes and overall demeanor?
“I wasn’t imitating you,” Bai Yuekui said seriously. “I just wanted to change my position, maybe because we’re twins and our minds are connected.”

The young Bai Yuekui took a deep breath.

She said solemnly, "I specialize in neuroscience. Even twins can't achieve this kind of synchronization, so just admit it, you're imitating me!"

“You want to get my attention, don’t you!” She stared into Bai Yuekui’s eyes, her tone very certain.

Bai Yuetian, standing next to him, had a look on his face that said "eating melon seeds" (a Chinese idiom meaning

“Coincidentally, I also have some knowledge of neuroscience,” Bai Yuekui said with a smile.

“It’s entirely possible for twins to be in sync like this. If it’s not sync, it could be that you’re imitating me. Don’t try to shift the blame.”

The young Bai Yuekui clenched her teeth in anger.

She was so angry that she couldn't finish her sentence.

Does she not know who is imitating whom?

Bai Yuekui curled his lips into a smile, his face beaming with pleasure.

Surprisingly, it's quite amusing to tease my past self.

I used to be so cute!
At this moment, Bai Yuetian, who was standing next to him, asked, "By the way, how exactly do you manage to make your movements so synchronized?"

"It's probably the resonance of the life essence." Bai Yuekui paused for a moment.

“Our life essence is exactly the same, only the quantity and intensity are different. If we are close enough and she does not deliberately resist, I can influence her.”

"I see." Bai Yuetian looked thoughtful.

The young Bai Yuekui frowned: "You're saying you started my movements? What nonsense are you talking about? I clearly wanted to move on my own."

"Is that so?" Bai Yuekui revealed a half-smile.

She raised her hand and reached towards her younger self's face.

At the same time, the young Bai Yuekui inexplicably raised his hand and reached out to his "twin sister".

"ah!"

The young Bai Yuekui snapped out of his daze and withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

"Do you still think I'm talking nonsense now?" Bai Yuekui asked with a smile.

The young Bai Yuekui asked in surprise and doubt: "Life essence can actually have this effect? ​​How is this different from superpowers? Are you a legendary superhuman?"

“I am a superhuman, but what happened just now was merely a simple resonance of life essence; I haven’t used my full potential yet,” Bai Yuekui replied.

The young Bai Yuekui took a deep breath.

She felt that this twin sister who had appeared out of nowhere was full of secrets.

But her most important task today is not to uncover secrets.

"You said there would be vines attacking the press conference today. If there aren't, then you're a liar," the young Bai Yuekui said in a deep voice.

She learned some details about the apocalypse from Bai Yuekui, which is why she decided to sit in the audience.

The end of the world is coming, what's the point of being famous?

Preparing for a press conference is exhausting, you know.

At the same time, sitting in the audience also makes it easier for her to react to any situation. If an incredibly huge vine were to attack the venue, she could rush onto the stage in time to protect Professor Horn.

"I hope not," Bai Yuekui murmured, "but there's no hope."

The young Bai Yuekui was stunned.

Wow!
The experiment on stage ended, and the mice that had undergone brain transplantation were jumping around energetically. The audience erupted in applause once again, and the atmosphere reached its second major climax after the mice's rejuvenation on the 19th.

Everyone went crazy.

Miracle K potion rejuvenates the body, while Angel potion accelerates brain nerve regeneration. If a person is injected with both potions simultaneously...
Boom, boom, boom!
Without warning, the ground began to shake violently, the ceramic cup fell and shattered into pieces, and everything that wasn't secured started moving erratically.

People lost their footing and cried out in terror, "Earthquake!"
