Speaking of which, the Peephole Strange Creature hadn’t appeared for about a month; the last ti it was seen in Experint Building No. 4, it was encountered by a student who had just completed an experint assignnt.
Soone had gone out and forgotten to close the door, and the student, absorbed in his experint, didn’t notice until he felt a chill. When he looked up, he saw a silhouette standing in the door gap that hadn’t been closed.
Dark, cold eyes stared straight at him.
On the spot, the guy was so terrified he wet himself. It was said that he shuddered so violently that the milky white liquid in his test tube splashed across his face, and he eventually climbed out the window, crying and yelling, making his escape.
Luckily, there was a corridor outside the window; otherwise, the student would have been waiting for soone to co and collect his corpse.
After their experience with the "Brother Sleeping on the Upper Bunk" mission, Guo Jintao, Chen Kun, and others, tasting the sweetness of having their video nearing the hot videos list, started to prepare to film the Peephole Strange Creature which had finally reappeared.
Ever since he was warned by Zhang Xiaomo, Yan Junze also felt increasingly passive about video making. If things turned out as Zhang Xiaomo predicted, this thing might end up as nothing more than a club for the amusent of the wealthy.
Of course, if those guys wanted to film, Yan Junze wouldn’t stop them, but he had no intention of getting involved anymore.
Guo Jintao and Chen Kun seed excited, but Han Zhao, who had been affected by the Spirit-Splitting before, decisively refused to participate. As for Zhang Wei, he had been lying in the hospital for the past two days because he had hit his head on the toilet stall door after fainting.
Only now had the swelling on one side of his face begun to subside, but he wouldn’t be discharged from the hospital anyti soon.
The very next afternoon, there was a lab class, and Yan Junze’s class’s lab session was scheduled on the fifth floor of Experint Building No. 4, where they had equipnt like the magnetic field mapping apparatus and the fixed string vibration apparatus. Usual experints were conducted on the fifth floor of Experint Building No. 4.
With no choice, Yan Junze and the other students were divided into groups in the 501 to 507 labs, and his group was in Lab 505.
The teacher leading this group was a white-haired old man, who seed to be a retired professor rehired by the university, his face covered with wrinkles, but he was very kind.
Standing in the lab, he first gave a nearly half-hour talk about the operation techniques and asurent experiences concerning those instrunts.
After that, they began to divide into smaller groups for hands-on practice. Read exclusive adventures at .Côm
Yan Junze was actually quite familiar with these experintal devices, but ever since his arrival in this world and the encounters with the strangenesses, especially the great shock given to him by the Spaceti Atlas, his focus had entirely shifted to the strange magnetic fields.
He wasn’t so interested in traditional physics research anymore.
After fiddling with the magnetic field mapping apparatus with the other three, Yan Junze looked up at the white-haired professor.
The professor went to the side, filled his tea cup with hot water, sat down, and began sipping slowly.
At that mont, the professor looked up at the door; a second before, a student had left the room, apparently to use the bathroom on the corridor.
There’s an unwritten rule in Experint Building No. 4 when conducting experints, which most people have always adhered to very well.
That is the habit of closing the door behind you when you leave.
Because the Peephole Strange Creature had been rumored for a long ti, it’s said that during the period when the creature appeared most frequently, nearly every teacher working in the experint building had seen it.
Of course, the creature would only appear behind the door, and as long as one didn’t interfere, it would disappear after watching for a while, though there were also tis when it persisted.
Once, a door in the laboratory had not been closed properly, and halfway through an experint, the wind blew it open, but no one noticed.
As a result, the Peephole Strange Creature appeared. It was said that the experint began at four in the afternoon and did not end until ten at night.
Because the Peephole Strange Creature did not leave during that ti, and no one dared to close the door, everyone was trapped in the laboratory. It was only after a teacher made a call that another brave teacher ca from outside and opened another door, causing the Peephole Strange Creature to disappear from the one that had been open.
Later, an experint showed that as long as the Peephole Strange Creature appeared, soone who was brave enough to close the door or open it fully would cause the strangeness to vanish.
Because an unwritten rule had ford, when the white-haired professor saw that the door was not completely closed, he put down his teacup and imdiately went to close it properly.
Turning around, he saw Yan Junze looking at him. He smiled, raised his voice and said, "Since everyone here is a freshman, let remind you once more, while conducting experints in the science building, always rember to close doors when entering or leaving, that’s the rule."
After the class ended, Yan Junze thought it over. As he would always need to study and live at the school, having the Peephole Strange Creature in the science building was always inconvenient. Now that he had beco an unofficial mber of the Exorcists, he might as well resolve the issue tonight.
It would seem remiss if his team were to find out he was here and yet he had done nothing about it.
Having made up his mind, he called He Yun. Once she answered, he went straight to the point, "I’ve encountered a strange creature. Can I take it upon myself to eliminate it, and then ask for remuneration on a per-case basis from you?"
"You may, but since we cannot assess the level of the event, we can only pay you the remuneration for the lowest level," He Yun said.
"What is the lowest level?" Yan Junze asked.
"Level F," He Yun replied.
"How much money?"
"Two thousand yuan. After killing the strange creature, use the badge to absorb so of its residual strange energy. You can collect the remuneration once you bring it to us for verification," He Yun explained.
Yan Junze nodded. He Yun had previously told him exactly how to use the badge, but he realized that the strange energy was probably not much different from the Different Dinsion Energy in his Spaceti Atlas.
In that case, if he were short on cash, he could just absorb so of the Atlas’ energy into the badge, and then exchange it for remuneration upon verification by the event team.
Thus, this Different Dinsion Energy could now not only be exchanged for his staple food but also for money, making it a panacea.
However, upon further thought, things did not seem as promising as he had first imagined.
Logically, each strange creature would have its unique Different Dinsion Energy, with subtle variations. But once absorbed by the Atlas, these differences would be assimilated, aning the Atlas would convert it into the sa pure Different Dinsion Energy inside it.
And the Hexagonal Star Badge’s recognition of each strange event was precisely based on these subtle differences between creatures. If he were to consistently use the energy from his Atlas to imitate the different strange energies collected after completing tasks, hence earning remuneration, the Strange Event Team would eventually notice sothing amiss.
Doing it once might be okay, but in the long run, it would not be to his advantage.
Yan Junze was very clear about this.
After hanging up the phone, he went to the cafeteria to get so food, eating only a little since with the badge, his blood food’s tabolism was very slow, and he did not feel very hungry.
Then he sat in his dormitory, quietly waiting for nightfall, ready to deal with the Peephole Strange Creature tonight.
