Chapter 705: Chapter 520: Research Meeting_1 Chapter 705: Chapter 520: Research Meeting_1 While Mary was dragged off to go morning jogging by the energetic Miss Lorena, Duanmu Huai had once again stealthily infiltrated the Masters College. This time, his target was clear–Joseph Chapek’s office.
The reason was Mary’s description of her friend.
Before that night, Shirley seemed very depressed in front of Professor Capek and even unintentionally revealed expressions that Mary wouldn’t normally see.
According to Mary, she heard that Shirley had joined Professor Chapek’s research group.
Moreover, according to rumors that Mary heard from another friend, Asherica, there were rumors among the students that Professor Chapek had pursued Shirley several times and even gave her flowers.
Honestly, just hearing this information made Duanmu Huai imagine a well-bred young lady being blackmailed by her tutor, becoming his slave, and participating in some after-school activities like those in “After School Private Tutoring.MP4” in an empty classroom.
Not to mention, Professor Chapek had a bad reputation among the students, and he has the appearance of a creepy male protagonist from an OX animation……
Okay, let’s not digress.
Regardless, this was a clue. In fact, just joining the research group was enough to raise Duanmu Huai’s suspicion.
The so-called research group in today’s universities is essentially the research team led by the professor, with several subordinates and several research “dogs”.
But not any student can be a research “dog”. According to Mary and Shirley’s age, they are currently at the level of a high school sophomore, so ordinarily, girls of this age are not likely to join the research group unless they are outstanding.
As Mary had mentioned, joining the research group essentially means being recognized as a scholar by the professor. Only young people with the intelligence and ability to assist research are eligible to be part of the professors’ research groups. These people are few in number, possibly not even one-tenth of the total number of students.
In fact, Mary only heard about Shirley joining the research group. As for the theme and content of their research group, they were completely clueless.
And this is what Duanmu Huai came to investigate.
If his premonition was correct, Professor Chapek’s research group might be related to this case as well.
In fact, when Duanmu Huai secretly entered Professor Chapek’s office, he felt his premonition wasn’t off by much.
For a simple reason……
“Complete Guide to Spirit-falling Technique……Western Magic Secrets……The origin of Black Magic……He’s a professor studying these things?”
Looking at the pile of speechless books on the bookshelf, Duanmu Huai couldn’t help but ridicule. He remembered Mary telling him that Professor Joseph Chapek was a professor of mechanical and social sciences, but looking at these books, what does it have to do with mechanics and sociology?
Don’t tell me you also believe in the God of All Machines?
Of course, this is impossible, but in this world, as soon as you see some idiot studying black magic or something similar, you can basically judge that he’s not far from death.
Duanmu Huai searched the office, but unfortunately, he did not find many useful clues. The only thing he got from the office was some of Professor Chapek’s research directions. His current research is human mechanics–in other words, the robot industry. It does match his identity, but the problem is, according to his data and records, his so-called “human mechanics” seems more intricate than just robots.
It’s about merging humans and machines into one……Hmm……At this point, Duanmu Huai remembered the steel monster he encountered on the street that night, which merged humans and machinery into one. Although it was indeed not formidable, but……It does fit Professor Chapek’s concept.
At least, quite similar.
Duanmu Huai lowered his head to look at the safe in the office, a common steel safe. Of course, with Duanmu Huai’s ability, opening it was not a problem. However, opening and closing it without anyone noticing was out of the question.
After pondering for a moment, Duanmu Huai made a decision.
Since the safe would be discovered once it was opened, then……It seems there is no other way.
While Duanmu Huai was busy in Professor Chapek’s office, Mary was lying on the road by the river, panting heavily.
Although she imagined that the other party’s training would be extraordinary, but……
“Miss Lorena! Five kilometers……It’s too far……I, I really can’t do it.”
What truly astonished Mary was that the petite girl, who looked more slender than herself and jogged alongside her, was not panting at all, seemingly as comfortable and relaxed as if she had just taken a stroll.
“Eh? Is that so? But this is just the beginning, you know. Next, we do a hundred punches, a hundred push-ups, and……”
