Chapter 66 Liti

After Professor Jürgen's explanation, Lin Chen's thinking was broadened considerably.

He briefly summarized the situation, then spoke softly:

"So, if the Foundation wants to drag schools, bunkers, and other areas into the warp, it only needs to find a way to ignite the existing conflicts in those areas, cause emotions to erupt, attract a warp hurricane, and then trigger the erosion."

“That’s right,” Professor Jürgen nodded. “The problem now is that even if the underlying emotions are ignited, it’s difficult to cause such a large-scale erosion all at once. The school incident was relatively mild, but the ruins of the bunker archives collapsed too suddenly, without any warning.”

"There must be a more efficient method within the foundation, and the principles behind that method are what we will study next."

More efficient methods...

Lin Chen recalled the gray city deep in the subspace, known as the "ideal state".

Was that city related to subspace erosion?

Or is it merely a transit station for spatial travel, and the "weapon" causing the erosion is something else entirely?

Lin Chen decided to investigate the memories in the bunker's archives in detail when he returned tonight.

Just then, the instrument beside him beeped. Professor Jürgen turned around, checked the parameters, and said softly:

"Alright, your 'Whale Cry' round is ready, 23mm, slug."

With a "buzzing" sound, the instrument was activated, and a bullet shimmering with a dazzling blue light slowly floated up.

Jürgen used tweezers to pick up the bullet, placed it into a small canister emitting white gas, and then handed it to Lin Chen.

"I won't charge you for processing this time, so take it. But I still hope you won't need it."

"How can this be?" Lin Chen had already taken out his phone to prepare to transfer the money.

The setup cost and labor cost for polishing a "Whale's Cry Bullet" are quite high. Although Lin Chen provided the raw materials, the cost of making this bullet should still be close to five figures.

However, Professor Jürgen insisted on shaking his head:

"No need, young man. Save your money. You'll have a lot of expenses coming up. Alpha-level demigods are not easy to deal with. This bullet is for your survival. Consider it a gift from me."

"But..." Lin Chen looked at the instruments beside him.

He understood that if he didn't pay the startup fee, Professor Jürgen would have to bear it.

We can't keep asking people to send us things, we haven't even repaid the favor of sending the Azure Factor last time.

"Don't mention it, I've received quite a bit of money from your investigation bureau over the years for being listed as a 'nominee'."

Professor Jürgen chuckled and patted Lin Chen on the shoulder.

"Since you're so stingy with money, then make good use of this bullet. You must protect yourself and protect Zhanyi."

"Remember, demigods are also made of flesh and blood, even Alpha-level demigods."

"Aim for his heart; if it hits, he'll either die or be seriously injured."

"I understand." Lin Chen nodded.

Seeing that Lin Chen had accepted the bullet, Professor Jürgen chuckled and nodded, then turned and walked toward the experimental table.

"Alright, I have a big experiment tonight, so I need to get ready now. You can go ahead and get busy. I'll be at the Investigation Bureau's lab lately, so feel free to ask me any questions."

"OK."

Lin Chen turned around, preparing to leave the laboratory.

Just then, Professor Jürgen's phone rang.

"Hello, this is..."

"Something happened to Litty?"

Jürgen's tone became noticeably tense, and Lin Chen turned around to meet the old man's gaze.

For the first time, he caught a glimpse of panic in those calm and wise eyes.

"The school, right? I'll be right there."

Jürgen put away the phone and strode briskly toward the laboratory door.

"Professor, what's wrong?" Lin Chen immediately followed him.

"My daughter had an accident at school, a serious erosion," Jürgen murmured softly. "She wasn't in good health to begin with, and this has just put her through this..."

An unusual erosion has appeared at the school? Lin Chen immediately tensed up.

Huihui and Liti are deskmates! They attend classes together!

Is it the foundation? Have they made their move again?

Lin Chen followed Jürgen quickly through the corridor and into the elevator.

As the elevator ascended, Lin Chen took out his phone and sent a message to Huihui:

"Huihui, are you alright?"

A few seconds later, Huihui replied immediately:

"I'm fine, but Litty isn't doing so well."

Litty isn't doing well.

Lin Chen glanced at Professor Jürgen beside him. The old man's expression had become solemn and somber. He was holding his phone and speaking in a low voice:

"Send a car to wait for me at the gate. I need to go to the school immediately."

After putting down his phone, Jürgen gently wiped his face and sighed.

"Professor, I'll go with you," Lin Chen said.

Jürgen didn't speak, he just nodded slightly.

The two got into a car in front of the investigation bureau, and fifteen minutes later, the car stopped in front of the school.

Professor Jürgen rushed into the school with a brisk pace, and Lin Chen had to jog to keep up with him.

After all, they are scientific researchers who frequently visit research sites, so their physical strength is by no means lacking.

The two quickly arrived at the classroom where the incident occurred—a dimensional stabilizing anchor had been placed there, and staff from the Second Department were using instruments to measure parameters.

After all, this is an affiliated school of the Bureau of Investigation, and as soon as the subspace erosion occurred, the people on site immediately took effective countermeasures.

"Liti! Where are you!"

Professor Jürgen rushed into the classroom and immediately saw the makeshift stretcher next to the podium. He rushed over to it.

Lin Chen then found Huihui, who was standing to the side in a daze, squatted down, and whispered:

"Megumi! How are you?"

"I'm fine," Huihui quickly shook her head. There were no tear stains on her face; she was very strong. "But Liti..."

Lin Chen turned his head and looked at the makeshift stretcher next to the podium.

This was the first time he had seen Litty: a small white figure curled up on a stretcher, her long, snow-white hair spread out on the white fabric, making her appear even whiter than the surroundings.

She had her beautiful, bright blue eyes wide open, but no matter how Professor Jürgen called to her, she remained blankly focused.

White hair...blue eyes...

Lin Chen stared blankly at that doll-like, exquisite face for a while, then looked away and noticed something unusual:

The girl's clothes were torn at the back, and a few pure white feathers peeked out from between the fabric, fluttering gently.

That is...

wing?

Did she grow wings on her back?

"Liti has little wings. I saw them when I stayed at her house," Huihui whispered. "She said it was a secret and told me not to tell anyone..."

Just then, a loud shout came from the side:

"That freak should have transferred schools a long time ago! She's the one who attracted the monster!"

"She's a monster! She's a monster! And she has feathers, it's terrifying!"

Lin Chen turned his head and saw that it was a group of girls huddled together.

He was about to say something to stop them when Professor Jürgen suddenly stood up and looked at the homeroom teacher.

"Excuse me, what happened?" His tone was calm, but Lin Chen could hear the raging fire burning beneath his steady voice.
