The person who spoke was a kind-looking old man with white hair.
When Feng Qi heard this, he immediately nodded and repeated what he had said to Wei Wei.
Listening to him, the expression of the upper echelons at the conference table gradually changed from initial suspicion to surprise.
Especially when Feng Qi mentioned the counter-infiltration plan, the replication of Mu Qing, the Rune Transformers Project, and so on.
They were all top secrets of the Scarlet Research Institute.
Feng Qi could even tell them the future direction of these plans in detail, giving them have no choice but to believe that he had really gone to the future and cooperated with the Scarlet Research Institute.
When Feng Qi finished explaining, the group of upper echelons fell silent.
His account was difficult for them to digest it in a short period of time.
After a long silence, the director, who was sitting at the head of the table, said, “Feng Qi, we’ve worked hard to change the fate of mankind our entire lives. Our goals are the same, so… we’re with you in the future.”
Hearing this, Feng Qi grinned.
“Thank you.”
Even though he knew that the Scarlet Research Institute would definitely stand on his side, when he heard director of the research institute say in a firm tone that they would accompany him, warmth still flowed through his heart.
After the meeting, he was led by Wei Wei to a room with a control panel.
Next, he explained the information about Brain in the Vat plan. Wei Wei recorded it.
It took them more than five hours to record just a third of the information.
“I’m starving. Why don’t we go and eat first?”
“Let’s go!” Feng Qi grinned.
“I thought that someone as determined as you, who wants to save the world, would reject my request to eat and me insist on recording the entire content.” “Don’t. I’m human too. In my opinion, if you’re not enthusiastic when it comes to eating, there must be something wrong with your mind.”
“Great minds think alike. Saving the world doesn’t conflict with doing eating.” Wei Wei immediately gave him an approving look.
Under Wei Wei’s lead, they came to the Scarlet Research Institute cafeteria.
The cafeteria wasn’t as big as Star City Academy’s, but the food inside was better. There were even special delicacies produced in the domain fields. However, after losing his innate ability, he also lost his powerful ability to eat a lot.
He soon became full.
On the other hand, Wei Wei, who was sitting opposite him, was still eating in large mouthfuls. Moreover, she looked very much like Mu Qing.
At the thought that Mu Qing, who was a Rune Transformer, was also raised by
Wei Wei, he felt that he seemed to have found the source of the “sin”.
“Are you full?” Wei Wei looked up at him.
“More or less. After losing my innate ability, my appetite isn’t as good as before.”
“It’s fine. Come to my room before you leave. I’ll give you a genetic injection. It can effectively improve your physique.”
“You’re choose not to cultivate in this timeline, but your physique still needs to be improved. This can significantly increase your learning efficiency and has the effect of resisting fatigue.”
“Okay.”
Feng Qi did not refuse and immediately agreed.
Wei Wei ate twice as much as he did before stopping.
Next, they returned to the room where they recorded the information and continued to record the detailed information of the Brain in a Vat plan.
In the wee hours of the morning, they were not finished. Feng Qi was a little tired, and his thoughts became sluggish.
Seeing this, Wei Wei couldn’t help but tease,
“Where are you sleeping tonight?”
“Don’t tease me. In short, I won’t sleep with you,” Feng Qi snapped.
“Boring.” Wei Wei curled her lips.
“I’ve already arranged a room for you. It’s on the third floor of the base… Why don’t you come to my room and sleep on the floor? 1 want to talk to you tonight.”
“That works too.”
Feng Qi did not refuse and immediately agreed.
He followed Wei Wei to her room. After washing up, he made a bed on the ground.
After turning off the lights, Feng Qi lay on the floor. He could even smell the shower gel on Wei Wei.
At this moment, the ceiling of the room gradually became transparent. He could clearly see the starry sky and the clouds under the moonlight outside. “Transparent ceiling, so high-tech?”
“Of course. That’s why I like living here. I can see the sights outside clearly.”
“All Qi, are you afraid?” Wei Wei suddenly asked.
“Afraid of what? Death? If 1 were afraid of death, I wouldn’t have chosen this path. Death is only a seemingly heavy fruit to me, but if 1 really eat it, 1 will only be relieved,” Feng Qi replied with a smile.
“Hahaha, you think the same as me. Sometimes it’s hard to live, but death is a relief.”
“Old… Sister Wei, why are you so persistent to go on?”
“Didn’t 1 tell you in the other timelines?”
“No, maybe you can talk about it.”
After a long silence, Wei Wei’s voice sounded.
“Because I like to go let nature take its course.”
“Let nature take its course?”
“I let nature take its course by doing my best and not by doing nothing. That’s why I didn’t fight till I died in the future. Before 1 die, I still wanted to see the outside world because I’d already done my best at that time.”
“Then I’m different. 1 prefer to struggle on the brink of death and not give up.” “Tell me in detail,” Wei Wei asked curiously.
“My battle can be explained in one sentence. It’s a battle with enemies hiding in the dark, a battle with self-torture, and a battle with the predetermined fate of humans. Struggling is also a way for me to not compromise on the future outcome. 1 need to go against the heavens.”
“It’s hard to imagine that you’re just a 17-year-old boy.” Hearing this, Wei Wei couldn’t help but sigh.
“If 1 understand too much, 1’11 lose the joy that I should have at my age. If I don’t know anything, I might be hugging my little girlfriend and reproducing now.”
“Hahaha, you literally agree and added to that huh. In my opinion, you’re just a brat.”
“Just take it that I am. I’m going to sleep. Staying up late will shorten my lifespan.” Feng Qi rolled his eyes and said.
This time, Wei Wei did not reply. Feng Qi looked up at the starry night sky, thinking about something.
A moment later, Wei Wei’s voice sounded.
“Are you asleep?”
“Almost.”
“Don’t think too much. We’re all your peers in this timeline. We’ll accompany you to the end.”
“Thank you.”
Hearing Feng Qi’s answer, Wei Wei’s emotions surged.
Actually, the moment she learned from Feng Qi that all her efforts would fail, her heart was filled with sadness.
She did not show these emotions. At that point, she made a decision to accompany Feng Qi and obtain more information for him in another timeline. However, the sadness in his heart never faded, as if she could already see the end of her life at a glance.
The next step was to slowly move towards the abyss according to fate.
“Are you sad but pretending to be optimistic?” At this moment, Feng Qi suddenly spoke.
“Bullsh*t. I’m so calm that I even want to get up and have supper now.”
“We are all living humans, not the few paragraphs in the historical messages.
Although we can’t change the ending of humanity, we can change the direction of our own fate.”
Hearing this, Wei Wei suddenly fell silent. Then, she shouted,
“Sleep. You’re so noisy.”
Hearing Wei Wei’s exasperated roar after being seen through, Feng Qi grinned and closed his eyes.
After talking to Wei Wei, the obsession in his heart had lessened.
Forget the past, do not fear the future, and cherish the present..
