Chapter 2364: Chapter 2359: Floating Mushroom

"Now?"

The bad speculation was confirmed, and Luo Bu couldn’t help but worry even more.

However, Fu Qian’s next request left him somewhat perplexed.

There was indeed some connection, but combining the communication on the way, one couldn’t help but feel that Professor Fu was going to personally guide the work.

"Now."

Fu Qian nodded, flipping through the surrounding manuscripts while speaking.

Unfortunately, the Benevolence Institute’s special habit of secrecy seemed to still persist.

Apart from discovering a drawing of four things over there, there wasn’t any more related information, not even a project name.

...

"Here, but it’s already returned to normal."

Although puzzled, Professor Luo Bu’s cooperation was still high, and he quickly led Fu Qian to his laboratory.

Pointing at the familiar set of equipment, he mentioned that the previous commotion could no longer reveal anything.

"It really is suspended."

Without questioning this statement, Fu Qian carefully observed and confirmed the special phenomenon mentioned by the other party.

Just as Professor Luo Bu said, the mushroom reproduction was noticeably more vigorous, almost reaching two-digit numbers at first glance.

The swarm still flew in intricate curves, but one could distinctly see their target of convergence; one or two mushrooms stood unsupported, as if growing from the void.

Apart from this, there was no noticeable difference in color or shape.

"Can you pick one for me?"

Before Luo Bu could say anything, Fu Qian gestured and quickly made a new request.

As the project leader, Luo Bu certainly had no issues with this; there was indeed nothing unusual inside, but he wasn’t here for that anyway.

"Of course."

Feeling increasingly eerie, Luo Bu nevertheless cooperated fully, sampling on-site and even specially choosing the suspended version.

This thing... if it continues to reproduce, will one day a Sword Saint pop out to chop people?

Of course, he wouldn’t make the rookie mistake of holding the sample directly; receiving Professor Luo Bu’s specially made container, Fu Qian took a familiar breath, recalling the fierce attacks that shattered even the Extraordinary Form.

Not to mention Jade Soul Master’s good eye, the Academy truly is a place where talent gathers.

"The situation is not optimistic, but at least we haven’t discovered any bodies... Can you find anyone else from Benevolence Institute?"

While sighing, Fu Qian finally brought up the main issue, directly confirming with Luo Bu about his social circle.

"I’m only familiar with Ah Kai..."

As expected, Luo Bu had a limited social life and was unsure where to find people in a hurry.

"You can look for Lanaia, let her bring a few people out for you."

Fu Qian didn’t mind, directly indicating that he could ask the recent model worker for help.

...

Leave professional matters to the professionals.

If it’s indeed some experimental accident, no one is more qualified to figure out what happened than the Miracle mentors at Benevolence Institute.

Expertise is specialized work, especially since Miracle often has abstract effects.

In the absence of Extraordinary Perception, Fu Qian had no intention to take on everything himself.

In fact, normally, if it wasn’t for Benevolence Institute’s loose organizational structure, Luo Bu should have directly reported this matter to them.

"Got it... I’ll head over now."

Clearly aware of this, and considering utilizing Professor Lanaya, Luo Bu readily agreed.

"After that, you can come back to continue monitoring."

Fu Qian pointed at the swarm and mushrooms, indicating that finishing what needs to be done, it would be more meaningful to return and keep an eye on these things rather than messing around.

"Understood."

Luo Bu continued to nod, and his thoughts became increasingly clear.

...

Although his rest was disturbed, it was admittedly an interesting situation.

With the sky already dark, he parted ways with Luo Bu after exiting, playing with the item in his hand, silently contemplating this unexpected change of events.

Ah Kai encountered some accident, and the current situation undoubtedly has a high probability of being related.

And an accident linked with some Miracle, is almost certain.

But the Miracle suspected of being related to this special fungus, is somewhat coincidental.

On one hand, to find people; on the other, considering the previously encountered Fungus Emperor, clearly worth investigating.

Even how to utilize the item at hand, Fu Qian already had some vague ideas—

"Is it really so lively?"

Lost in thought, Fu Qian had already returned to his laboratory.

Faced with three people looking over in unison, he couldn’t help but marvel at the stark contrast of before and after.

Miss Liushuang, Wen Li, and even the recently requested Professor Lisa...

"What do you think?"

Professor Lisa was clearly a bit annoyed, casually placing a metal cylinder there.

Don’t ask about the service attitude, fulfilling the request to deliver as expected.

"What’s that in your hand?"

With sharp eyes, Lisa also immediately noticed the item in Fu Qian’s hand.

"Experiment material."

Fu Qian did not mention Professor Ah Kai’s misfortune.

"Is this what Luo Bu’s been working on?"

Yet Professor Lisa’s broad interests led her to frown at the mushroom, instantly associating it with a possible origin of this peculiar item.

"Indeed, quite an interesting item, want to try?"

Having just applied for a new batch of Kaldora flesh earlier, the probability of Lisa knowing what Luo Bu was using it for was indeed high.

For a moment, Fu Qian shook the item in his hand, even genuinely passing it over.

"Forget it, I don’t like mushrooms."

Unfortunately, Professor Lisa visibly disliked it, quickly refusing the joke even if aware of the jest.

"Alright... item delivered, I’ll take off."

But before Fu Qian could say anything, realizing her words aligned with some biological habits, she grunted and made to leave.

Already able to take jokes now, the director’s effort hasn’t been in vain.

Fu Qian acknowledged that his previous question was indeed a malicious hint, and felt gratified by Professor Lisa’s reaction.

"No worries, you can chat here with them a while longer, I need to step out."

For a moment, he even suggested staying longer to gossip with the three, before picking up the metal cylinder containing Divine Blood and Flesh, fiddling with it while genuinely turning to leave.

Laughing, the named Wen Ji duo similarly held Professor Lisa back, showing little sympathy for Professor Fu’s hardships.

...

Oh... is it that restricted?

Not just speaking frivolously, Fu Qian dashed out of the lab, quickly crossing beyond the Academy, continually watching the dynamic between the two items he held.

At some point, his steps paused, scrutinizing the container holding the mushroom.

As if encountering something, the contents inside rapidly started wilting in a blink.
