However, in the empty corridor, there seemed to be hurried footsteps and faint calls ringing behind my ears.
Lin Qiusheng stopped walking and turned to look at the endless passage behind him. He then looked down at the two girls below him, raised his lips a few times and asked them for confirmation:
"Xiaolu, Youzi, did you hear any strange noises?"
"Wow! Strange, strange sound!?... Is it a monster!?" Hanaoka Yuzu exclaimed, anxiety and panic instantly filled her deep purple eyes. She stepped directly into the hem of Lin Qiusheng's shirt, holding his waist tightly with both hands, not daring to look around.
Cai Yulu seemed a little scared, but he still mustered up the courage, gripped the gun tightly in his hand, looked in the direction they came from, and listened attentively.
“Haaa…haaa…sen…sei…”
"Wow! Sensei, there really is a sound!"
Following Cai Yulu's exclamation, she quickly hid behind Lin Qiusheng. Shengyan Noah and Caiyu Taojing, who were walking in front, also noticed their scene. They tilted their heads curiously, and their tails emitting pink light swung in the air.
"Sound? What is that?"
"Sensei, what happened?" Shengyan Noah tilted his head slightly in confusion, walked to Lin Qiusheng's side, and followed his gaze to look towards the passage they came from.
Just a moment before Youzi screamed, Lin Qiusheng did hear someone calling his name in a broken voice, mixed with some panting sounds.
He only felt a chill on his back, and in just a moment, goose bumps appeared all over his body, and some cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Without thinking too much, the Flame Sword was instantly unsheathed and Lin Qiusheng held it tightly in his hand. He took a stance and held it diagonally in front of him, his eyes fixed on the passage he came from.
"Megiddo? Or the King's Sword?"
Although Megiddo and the King's Sword are very terrifying and the purpose behind them is still unknown, they are still more terrifying than this invisible and invulnerable supernatural monster.
However, when the hurried footsteps quickly amplified in everyone's ears, Hayase Yuuka rushed out of the darkness panting and came to a position less than ten steps away from Lin Qiusheng.
"Sen, sensei, wait a minute, I want to go too, haah..."
Lin Qiusheng's lips curled up a few times, revealing a slightly bitter smile. He silently put the Flame Sword Liehuo back into its pitch-black scabbard and muttered:
"It's Yuuka! I was so scared! I thought it was Megiddo. Scaring someone can really kill them."
When Saiyu Lu and Hanaoka Yuzu under him saw the familiar figure, they let go of the clothes that they had wrinkled and gently pinched the hem of Lin Qiusheng's clothes with their index fingers and thumbs.
Facing Lin Qiusheng's accusations, Hayase Yuuka gently stroked her violently heaving chest, put her hands on her hips, and put on an expression that said, "I should be the one to say this," and continued nagging as usual:
"Sensei, it's you! You're back, but please tell us first. We're all worried about you!"
"Oh, okay, okay, I'm so sorry, Yuuka. I'll definitely do it next time."
For some reason, Lin Qiusheng wanted to talk as usual, but his mind recalled the conversation he had just had with Noah. The words just reached his throat but he swallowed them back. In the end, he had no choice but to bow his head and apologize.
Saiwa Momoi poked her head out from behind Saiwa Midori, raised her clenched right hand, pointed her index finger at Hayase Yuka, and shouted in surprise:
"Wow! It's the Great Devil Yuuka!!!"
"I won't say anything about that name for now, but, Xiao Tao, you can't point your finger at people casually!"
As she spoke, Hayase Yuuka half-closed her eyes, stared with deep blue eyes, and slowly walked in front of Saiwa Momoi under the gaze of everyone. She raised her right hand, bent her index finger, and curled her thumb inward, and tapped her forehead, making a crisp sound with a slightly dull sound.
"Ow, yes, that hurts!"
Lin Qiusheng watched the interaction between Hayase Yuka and the three kids from the game development department with a warm expression. If there was rice, he would definitely eat several big mouthfuls of it immediately.
As expected, Yuka will become a very virtuous wife just as I had imagined at the beginning. I just don’t know who has such a blessing.
Hayase Yuuka turned her head and saw Lin Qiusheng with a peaceful expression like an old man basking in the sun on the roadside. Resentment and displeasure filled her deep blue eyes, and her rosy lips were slightly pouting.
"Sensei, you have a weird expression on your face. You must be thinking about something really rude!"
"No, it's just your illusion."
Hayase Yuuka's deep blue eyes were full of suspicion. Her gaze swept across Namiya Noah and the members of the game development department, and finally fixed on Lin Qiusheng's face. She instantly understood what was about to happen.
"Sensei, are you planning on going to President Li Yin's office? Then Noah and I will take you there."
"Well, thank you for your help then." Lin Qiusheng nodded slightly and watched Noah Namiyato come to Hayase Yuuka's side. After a brief conversation, the two walked in front, whispering in each other's ears.
Although he was curious about the content of the two people's conversation, they seemed to be discussing topics related to young girls' secrets, so it would be better for him not to interfere.
Before Noah Namiyato's gaze fell upon him, he consciously took on the role of looking after the children. Surrounded by the three little ones from the game development department, he continued to walk forward with the Caiyu sisters and Hanaoka Yuzu.
After passing several turns whose directions were unclear, Lin Qiusheng, led by Noah Namishio and Yuka Hayase, arrived at the heavy door marked with the fire escape.
"Is this... the fire escape?"
"Alright, sensei, President Liyin's message is right above, let's go."
Namiya Noah pushed open the heavy door in front of him and stood at the door holding the door handle. Hayase Yuuka walked to Lin Qiusheng's side, showing her usual bright smile and said to him earnestly:
"Don't be nervous, it's okay, sensei. President Liyin is actually very easy to talk to, but she's not very good at communication and expression."
"If you're really nervous, use your fingers to write the Chinese character '人' on the palm of your left hand. That way, you won't be nervous anymore!"
As Hayase Yuuka spoke, she raised her small hand, revealing her fair palm, and wrote words with her index finger, stroke by stroke, then brought it to her mouth and ate it in one bite, just like eating candy.
Then he showed an expression of full energy.
"I see, Yuuka, it seems like you do this kind of thing often?"
"Not really, sensei, it's just sometimes..."
At this time, Hayase Yuka realized that she seemed to have done something very embarrassing. Facing the gazes of everyone, her fair and delicate face turned red instantly.
"Ahhh~ Ahhh~ Yuuka is so cute, so you usually do this behind my back~"
She slowly turned her gaze to look at the smiling Noah Namashio in front of her. Saiwa Momoi tilted her head in confusion. Saiwa Midori and Hanaoka Yuzu pouted their lips, raised their left hands, and looked at their palms, as if they were hesitating whether to follow suit.
Writing with your fingers on your palm? This is something you would see in anime or movies.
I'm not an elementary school student about to give a speech on stage. I always feel that Yuka seems to be over-caring. Also, Noah must have told Yuka about the conversation he just had with her!
You traitor!!! Although, I didn't form an alliance with Noah in the beginning.
When Lin Qiusheng looked at him with resentful and dissatisfied eyes, Shengyan Noah playfully raised the corners of his mouth, turned his head and pretended not to see anything, and said to everyone urgingly:
"Alright, sensei, let's go quickly. If we wait any longer, President Liyin will get anxious."
Continuing to walk upwards from the fire escape used for emergency evacuation, Lin Qiusheng speculated based on the scenery he had seen in the Millennium Seminar Office before, could Liyin's office be on the top of the Millennium Tower?
However, in a sense, Liyin's office being at the top of the tower is more in line with her identity as the president of the Millennium Institute of Technology Seminar.
Accompanied by the sound of metal friction between metal, Shengyan Noah pushed open the heavy door again, and another long corridor appeared in front of Lin Qiusheng. This time, even the incandescent lamp on the ceiling above his head no longer emitted light, as if he was in a dark world.
Only the moonlight pouring in from the floor-to-ceiling windows on the right illuminated everything around them, as if covered with a vague and cold veil.
"Wouldn't it be very inconvenient for Li Yin to live in a place like this?"
"So, this is just one of President Li Yin's temporary offices. When the Millennium Tower is in normal operation, you can take the elevator here."
Namahio Noah took over the topic and continued walking forward. At the same time, Hayase Yuuka beside him looked at the three people from the game development department in front of him and patted them on the head gently.
"Then what was the point of us walking for so long? Why didn't we just take the elevator upstairs?"
"Okay, sensei, stop being so stubborn. There's only one office on this floor, and we'll be there soon."
"I hope so." Lin Qiusheng grinned speechlessly and continued to walk forward under the guidance of Hayase Yuka like a kindergarten kid.
Up to now, the uneasiness in Lin Qiusheng's heart has been slowly worn away by the long journey and turned into a little boredom. If he were to talk to Liyin now, he would definitely accuse her without any evidence, and might even pour out his grievances to her, telling her about the previous battle and what happened.
You must be rational at this time and not be led astray by your emotions.
After walking forward with everyone for a few minutes, they arrived in front of the only door on this floor at the top of the Millennium Tower. Lin Qiusheng closed his eyes and took a long breath, then slowly exhaled the words he was thinking about and organizing for the conversation in his mind. He slowly raised his right hand and grasped the door handle in front of him.
However, before he could feel the unique touch of the door handle, the door was pushed open by the girl beside him. She ran directly into the office of the president of the Millennium Technology Academy Seminar and announced loudly:
"Jiang Jiang! The game development department is here with a bang!!!"
Cai Yu Taojing forcefully pushed open the closed door of the seminar president's office and walked in with big strides.
Unlike her boldness, Saiyu Midori and Hanaoka Yuzu's bodies trembled slightly with anxiety, but they still followed her and walked forward for Tendo Alice.
"..." Lin Qiusheng stood there in a daze, a storm of bewilderment rising in his heart. Shouldn't he be the one to open the door and take the lead at this time...
He shook his head helplessly, then slowly lowered his raised right hand to let it hang at both sides of his body, and walked into the office of the president of the Millennium Institute of Technology Seminar in front of him.
Unlike the narrow and dark attic in the spire as imagined, the office of the president of the Millennium Institute of Technology seminar was illuminated by the bright moonlight.
The entire room is hexagonal in shape. Except for the area near the door which is made of concrete brick walls, the other side is surrounded by transparent glass curtain walls. Two empty bookshelves are placed against the wall on both sides of the door.
Just as Shengyan Noah described before, this is just Tiaoyue Liyin's temporary office.
Apart from the sofa placed in the center of the room for receiving guests and daily necessities such as the desk used for work, there is no sign that anyone has lived here. It is just like being in a hotel on a business trip.
Diao Yue Liyin was sitting behind a desk in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Her rosy red eyes moved away from the computer screen in front of her and looked towards the door. Her hands, which were rapidly typing on the keyboard, were suspended in mid-air.
"Sensei, long time no see."
...Long time no see? How long? Didn't we just have a heated debate this afternoon?
Although Lin Qiusheng was full of doubts, he kept his complaints to himself and did not say these inappropriate words.
"It's been a while, Liyin. I came here this time because these kids and the members of the game development department have something to say to you."
"Secondly, regarding the trolley problem you asked me earlier, I now have a solution."
Diao Yue Liyin's gaze passed by Lin Qiusheng and looked at Caiyu Momoi, Hanaoka Yuzu, and Caiyu Midori who were standing with their heads held high beside him. After thinking for a moment, she nodded expressionlessly.
"That's it, I understand."
Millennium Technology Academy: Chapter 187: Foundation and Reputation
In the empty office of the president of the Millennium Institute of Technology Seminar, the cool moonlight streamed in from the French window behind Tiao Yue Liyin, illuminating her reflection. A pair of emotionless crimson eyes stared at the girls in front of him.
At this moment, it was as if the air around him had become stagnant, and an inexplicable sense of unease surged from all directions along with darkness.
Lin Qiusheng recalled the confrontation with the robot-like girl in the seminar office, and cold sweat seeped out of the palms of his hands hanging on both sides of his body.
"Well, sensei, please wait a moment, Noah."
"I understand, President." A low voice echoed in everyone's ears. Shengyan Noah nodded slightly to greet the president of the seminar in the distance, and slowly walked towards the place on the right where some daily necessities were placed.
Accompanied by the subtle collision sound of glassware, Diao Yue Liyin stared at the computer screen in front of her that was emitting soft light, tapping the keyboard quickly, processing the last work of the day.
Hayase Yuuka, who was standing side by side with Lin Qiusheng, raised her left hand and gently tugged at his sleeve. She pointed at the sofa not far away and said in an almost inaudible voice:
"Sensei, President Li Yin is still dealing with work, and Noah is preparing tea and snacks. Let's go over there and wait for a while."
"Okay, I understand." Lin Qiusheng nodded slightly, and went to the sofa on the left and sat down with Cai Yulu and Hanaoka Yuzu, who were also scared and uneasy.
Saiwa Momoi sat upright on the sofa with Saiwa Midori and Hanaoka Yuzu.
For some reason, she still maintained that angry and serious expression, which was in stark contrast to the cheerful and cheerful girl she usually exuded.
Lin Qiusheng looked at Tiao Yue Liyin who was working at the desk not far away, then looked at Shengyan Noah who was tidying up and wiping the tea set in front of him. He tilted his head towards the girl on his right and complained softly.
"But, Yuuka, is it really okay? I always feel like the atmosphere here is so weird. I'd be surprised even if we started fighting right away."
"What nonsense are you talking about? The president is not that kind of person. Even if there were other integers between zero and one, the current situation would not turn out like you said!"
"What kind of abstract metaphor is this? This is too weird."
"Shut up, shut up, what do you care? Why is this metaphor so bad?"
Just as Lin Qiusheng and Hayase Yuuka were arguing with each other like a newlywed couple, Noah Namiya's voice of reminder came from the side.
"Sensei, President Liyin, I'm going to turn on the lights."
"Well, I see."
"Hey!? Wait, wait! This is not right?..." Lin Qiusheng shook his head and looked around.
After waiting for three seconds, the incandescent lamp embedded in the ceiling lit up, instantly illuminating the room where everyone was.
Lin Qiusheng squinted his eyes slightly to let the light penetrate his eyes. After adapting to the surrounding environment, he slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, the corners of his mouth twitched. He originally thought that the lights in the office were not on because there was no electricity in this fantasy world, but it turned out that the lights were just not on.
If you think about it, Millennium Institute of Technology is known as an institute of science, technology and innovation. How could it not be equipped with backup power supply and generators?
The same goes for Heifu and Liyin. Why don’t people turn on the lights when talking to others?
Hmm...it seems like fun. I'll try it myself in Xialai later.
Soft light illuminated the room on the top floor of the thousand-year-old tower. Lin Qiusheng looked around the surroundings again, and the uneasiness that just came from the unknown disappeared without a trace.
White mist slowly drifted out of the kettle, and a cool, slightly sweet tea fragrance instantly filled the office of the president of the Millennium Seminar.
Noah, the salt-producing body, pushed out a cart that could only be seen in TV dramas from somewhere, walked slowly to the side of the group, and gently placed the teacup with a pattern engraved on it on the coffee table in front of everyone.
Lin Qiusheng lifted up the jade-white teacup and looked it up and down.
