I find Professor Liu quite interesting. He doesn't get along with Meng Qingyu, so maybe he could become our ally.
Do you really think Meng Qingyu brought us in just to take us out alive?
It's impossible to let her manipulate us, so I smiled at Professor Liu with the friendliest expression, trying to convey goodwill.
But then Qinghan pinched me and whispered through gritted teeth, "What are you smirking at? That's so sleazy."
I was baffled, looked at Professor Liu, who received my smile, frowned, and seemed to glare at me before looking away.
He must suspect that Bi Shi and I are in cahoots, trying to confuse him with sugar-coated bullets.
Meng Qingyu looked at Qinghan with a sympathetic gaze. Her act isn't over yet—does she have a screw loose?
The team leader and Professor Liu discussed starting by studying those small stones to see what material they're made of.
Could it be that these stones have a special energy field, capable of distorting space?
