Chapter 172: Liang Bing Goes Crazy, Sister Yue Comforts
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
As soon as this statement was made, the entire room fell silent.
With a stern expression, Xu Kaiqing turned to look at the control panel. When he turned back, his entire face had darkened.
Shen Qiannan followed closely behind, and several doctoral students also rushed forward.
What they saw was shocking.
This was an extremely basic mistake, one that theoretically should not happen to anyone present, especially not Liang Bing, a key figure in our research and an expert in experimental operations.
But it happened.
As for those parameters, Jiang Fuyue indeed didn’t touch any of them. She only turned on the high-dimensional key of the safety mode.
“Oh my God, it’s terrifying. Luckily, we found out in time.”
“I dare not imagine what would have happened if we were one step too late, if an explosion really occurred…”
With these thoughts in mind, everyone felt a wave of fear.
At this moment, Jiang Fuyue walked up to Liang Bing. Due to her height advantage, she seemed to be looking down on her. “Before conducting this experiment, you should have been fully prepared. I refuse to believe that you didn’t know the importance of the personnel to the multi-body entanglement experiment. Even if you had to leave briefly, you should have cut off the power first. But how long were you gone?”
Liang Bing trembled, her lips quivering, her eyes vacant, as she shook her head incessantly. “How could this be possible… It’s impossible… I clearly turned on the high-dimensional key when setting the parameters…”
Jiang Fuyue’s eyes deepened, continuously observing the expression on the woman’s face. “The facts are right in front of us. Are you still trying to deny it?”
Sure enough, after Jiang Fuyue’s words, a fierce and violent expression quickly gathered on Liang Bing’s face again, with a hint of eerie crimson in her eyes.
“It’s impossible! I don’t believe it—” The woman screamed and rushed towards the control panel as if she were insane.
Subconsciously, everyone stepped back, making way for Liang Bing. She leaned over the panel.
The next moment, she stared at a certain button in disbelief. “No… This can’t be…”
She was the most talented doctoral student in Xu Kaiqing’s laboratory.
She published a fixed SCI paper every year, and her research capabilities were widely recognized.
Everyone said she was the most likely to inherit the mantle of Professor Xu among his many students.
How could she make such a mistake? How could she?
How could she make such a mistake?!
Liang Bing’s eyes kept changing, and suddenly she screamed, clutching her head and squatting on the ground.
Her lips turned purple, her whole body trembling, as if enduring immense pain.
“Senior Sister, what’s wrong with you?”
“Are you okay?”
“Senior Sister, don’t scare everyone. If there’s something wrong, let’s talk about it.”
“Is she pretending?”
“If there’s really something wrong, why didn’t she act up earlier or later? Why now?”
…
For a while, there were various opinions.
Concerns, doubts, they were all there.
But not a single person stepped forward, not even to lend her a hand.
Because Liang Bing’s current state was truly terrifying—
Her eyes were bloodshot, she kept screaming, and at first she just hugged her head, but then she started scratching her face with sharp nails, leaving scratches and blood marks on her skin.
It was like a scene from a zombie mutation, and no one dared to approach.
“Step aside.” A clear voice sounded.
Jiang Fuyue pushed aside the people in front of her and walked to Liang Bing’s side.
Shen Qiannan wanted to stop her, reaching out to grab her, but unfortunately only touched a piece of clothing that was devoid of warmth.
“Lao Xu, let them all back off.”
Xu Kaiqing, who was called out, immediately reacted and started shouting, “Everyone, move further away… A little further…”
With him taking action, no one dared not to comply.
Soon, the people surrounding Liang Bing were pushed far away.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Including Xu Kaiqing. Although he followed Jiang Fuyue’s instructions, he didn’t know what Jiang Fuyue was planning to do.
“Take a deep breath, you need to relax now.” The girl reached out and grabbed Liang Bing’s arm, unsure of her strength but her voice was incredibly gentle.
As gentle as the willow catkins in spring, the snowflakes in winter.
Liang Bing resisted, even repelled.
Jiang Fuyue exerted some force in her grip, causing Liang Bing to wince in pain, her body trembling even more fiercely, but her hands subconsciously relaxed.
“Yes, that’s it, adjust your breathing rhythm. Listen to my commands, inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale…”
Jiang Fuyue spoke while gently patting her back, with a soothing power.
The woman was very thin, her back almost devoid of flesh, all hard bones.
She was still trembling, her lab coat soaked with sweat, her hair disheveled in the struggle, looking extremely disheveled.
Some people whispered:
“What are they doing?”
“It seems like Senior Sister Liang’s emotions are not quite right. Junior sister should be comforting her.”
“Look, Junior sister grabbed Senior Sister Liang’s hand, what does she want to do?”
“She’s probably finding acupoints and then massaging.”
“Huh? Junior sister knows traditional Chinese medicine too?”
“You ask me, who do I ask?”
“…”
Various discussions ensued.
Jiang Fuyue initially did not notice anything wrong with her, she just thought she was irritable and easily angered.
But when she raised her hand to slap herself, Jiang Fuyue noticed a string of Bodhi seeds on her wrist.
The red and yellow beads shone mysteriously and deeply under the light, looking very new, probably recently worn.
This was no simple matter.
Jiang Fuyue continued to observe her expressions and demeanor, noticing that whenever something went against her will, anxiety and agitation appeared on her face.
If it were another profession, Jiang Fuyue would have remained skeptical and observed further.
But Liang Bing was a researcher, specializing in the field of quantum algorithms.
This discipline was relatively new, but the related knowledge was difficult to understand, requiring great patience and continuous research to truly succeed in this field.
Judging from the attitudes of those around Liang Bing, it was evident that she was a successful female doctorate student.
And such a person would not easily lose patience over trivial matters and become irritable.
Anyway, Jiang Fuyue didn’t believe it.
So, this “irritability” became very abnormal.
And a series of subsequent tests also happened to prove this point.
Fifteen minutes passed, during which Jiang Fuyue had been trying to comfort Liang Bing. At first, Liang Bing resisted, but after slowly accepting cooperation, she began to calm down.
“How do you feel?”
At Jiang Fuyue’s words, Liang Bing looked up blankly, her gaze falling on Jiang Fuyue’s face, then scanning the other onlookers.
“What… happened to me?”
“Senior Sister, you were so scary just now!”
“You kept screaming and trying to hit people.”
“You looked like you were going crazy, your eyes were all red.”
“…”
Chatter filled the air.
Liang Bing hadn’t lost her memory, she clearly remembered what she had done, but because of this, she was at a loss.
Was that hysterical woman really her?
Was that violent and evil demon also her?
“What’s wrong with me?” She suddenly grabbed Jiang Fuyue’s hand, intuitively feeling that this junior sister, who had almost been injured by herself not long ago, might know the answer.
Jiang Fuyue saw through her feigned calmness and could also feel the hand grabbing hers trembling with anxiety.
At this moment, Liang Bing was like a believer awaiting judgment day, unsure whether God would arrange for her to go to heaven or hell.
But she didn’t want to be in the dark, so she stubbornly demanded an answer.
A sigh escaped Jiang Fuyue’s lips as she covered Liang Bing’s hand with her own, gently patting it, and in an instant, warmth poured into Liang Bing’s eyes like sunlight.
She cried, “I’m sorry, I don’t know why I turned into this, I didn’t want to…”
“And the control panel, before going up there, I had reminded myself countless times to remember the high-dimensional key, to ensure the safety of the experiment process, but it seems like… I forgot uncontrollably…”
“I didn’t want to argue, I didn’t want to resort to violence, but my head hurts so much, like it’s going to split open, I can only vent in this way.”
Moreover, although she had a crush on Shen Qiannan, she had always kept it to herself, dealing with work and research in a strictly professional manner, to the extent that everyone felt she was somewhat unfeeling.
But at some point, whenever she saw Shen Qiannan surrounded by beautiful girls, she couldn’t help but become irritable.
She even impulsively handed him a room card…
Liang Bing looked at Jiang Fuyue, her gaze serious, enunciating each word, “You must know the reason, can you tell me?”
Jiang Fuyue smiled.
She said, “Senior Sister, how long has it been since you went to the hospital for a full body check-up?”
Liang Bing was stunned.
A year? Or two?
No, it had been a full five years!
Jiang Fuyue continued, “It’s best to go for one tomorrow, especially for the pituitary gland.”
Liang Bing’s pupils contracted.
But Jiang Fuyue gently patted her hand, her fingertips brushing over that string of Bodhi seeds, and a dark surge of emotion welled up in her eyes.
Liang Bing wasn’t crazy, she was just sick.
Today’s Sister Yue was a gentle junior sister.
