"You don't need to explain much, you just need to tell me, do you really think that organisms can evolve to adapt to the tidal effects around a wormhole by themselves?"
"Yes," Yu Yaoming nodded, "I even think that there is life existing around, or even inside, the wormhole itself."
"Everyone heard that, didn't they? He said there's life inside the wormhole," Yan Youjun smoothed his white hair with a laugh.
Yu Yaoming did not laugh, he was serious all along: "The internal environment of a wormhole is much more stable than the surroundings. If we successfully enter the wormhole, I believe we can live inside it."
"We can still live inside a wormhole," Yan Youjun laughed even louder, "Do you think there's life near the black hole too?"
Yu Yaoming still nodded: "I think there's a possibility."
Yan Youjun laughed: "Have you ever imagined that there are a few giant dragons guarding the entrance of the black hole, and anyone who tries to enter the black hole will be devoured by them?"
"I think it's not necessarily giant dragons; it could be other forms of life, even more familiar forms; some life forms might be exactly like us, perhaps even building civilizations inside the black hole."
Yan Youjun nodded and said, "Why don't you go write science fiction?"
Yu Yaoming seriously replied: "If this were a literary salon, I would be willing to discuss novel creation with you, but this is an academic discussion, all our exploration must be based on academic theory."
"You still know this is an academic discussion?" Yan Youjun withdrew his smile, but did not change the ridicule and mockery in his tone, "Then please give an example, an example of an organism evolving near a wormhole to support your absurd viewpoint."
"You want an example?" Yu Yaoming raised the pen in his hand, "I say this pen might have acquired some life characteristics by being near a wormhole."
"The pen has life characteristics." Yan Youjun laughed again, and many people on site, including the host, laughed as well.
Han Yue Long sighed: "How did an academic exchange meeting become like this; Professor Yu is too stubborn, this has become a farce."
"Professor Yu is not stubborn, and this is not a farce!" Fang Yufei gave Han Yue Long a glare, "Listen carefully to Professor Yu's theory; this is one of your rare chances to escape ignorance."
Han Yue Long did not want to speak with Fang Yufei anymore, he thought Fang Yufei was just as stubborn as Yu Yaoming.
Fang Yufei looked again at Li Banfeng, who was seriously watching the formulas on the big screen and listening carefully to Yu Yaoming's explanation.
The idea that a pen has life, that all things have life, was something Li Banfeng had heard before; his wife had mentioned it, and the projector had talked about it.
This idea had been verified; the projector and sickle were examples.
Yu Yaoming's viewpoint was not absurd.
But others had different thoughts than Li Banfeng; there was constant chatter on site, noisy and chaotic, as if everyone suspected Yu Yaoming had gone mad.
Yu Yaoming, holding the pen, looked at Yan Youjun and said: "I say this pen has life characteristics, don't you believe it?"
Yan Youjun laughed for a long time: "You believe that the pen has life, how can I communicate with you?"
"That's too bad." Yu Yaoming threw the pen away with a flick.
The pen flew towards Yan Youjun, directly piercing his forehead.
Yan Youjun sat on the sofa, his smile gradually freezing, blood slowly flowing down from his forehead.
His eyes dimmed instantly, and he lay on his back on the sofa.
The host was stunned, all experts and professors were stunned.
Within seconds, the venue fell silent, followed by screams.
This is an academic exchange, this is an academic debate.
Han Yue Long shouted loudly: "What, what happened? Murder? What's happened to Professor Yan?"
"He's dead," Fang Yufei was very calm, "Such stubborn conservatives are stumbling blocks to scientific progress; he deserves it, he has long deserved death, he must pay for his stupidity and imperiousness!"
Yu Yaoming stood on the podium, quietly engaging the audience.
The audience, amidst screams, rushed frantically towards the exit of the lecture hall.
Several security personnel tried to maintain order but could not stop the out-of-control crowd.
"Yufei, run!" Han Yue Long grabbed Fang Yufei, wanting to escape the lecture hall, but was thrown off by Fang Yufei.
"Just go, fool," Fang Yufei looked at Han Yue Long with mockery, "I told you, you know nothing; you don't know what real wisdom and power are, and today you've seen it."
Han Yue Long stopped speaking with Fang Yufei and pushed along with the crowd towards the exit.
Fang Yufei turned to look at Li Banfeng: "You should go too; it's indeed very dangerous here, hurry up and leave. I know you're slightly better than those idiots, you may have felt the shock from wisdom, you might know what true knowledge is,
but like them, you also know nothing about real power. Professor Yu is very angry now, the power he is about to unleash will exceed your understanding, and that power is like God's wrath, equivalent to destroying the world.
You are mortal, you haven't found the path to escape mortality, I also have some power, take advantage of my current ability to protect you, quickly leave this place."
She reached out to pull Li Banfeng, only to find that Li Banfeng had disappeared, leaving only a few remnants in sight.
Where did Li Banfeng go?
How did he suddenly disappear?
Fang Yufei was shocked, looking around for Li Banfeng's figure.
On the podium, the host had run off, all other experts and professors had also left, leaving only Yu Yaoming and Yan Youjun's corpse.
Yu Yaoming leaned over to pick up the pen, faintly hearing someone whisper: "Don't move, that's the murder weapon, it's best to leave it in its original place."
"Who!" Yu Yaoming looked towards the source of the voice but saw no figure.
"You are under arrest, I have a few questions to ask you now..."
Without waiting for the speaker to finish, Yu Yaoming immediately picked up the pen and flicked ink in the direction of the voice.
The pen was special, and the ink was custom-made; if the other party used some kind of invisibility technique, the ink could mark their position.
But the ink left no trace, just splattered on the red carpet of the podium.
"If you don't want to answer questions, fine, but don't randomly flick that ink, it will bring quite a bit of trouble to the investigation process,
Moreover, your presentation is very interesting, can you lend it to me? If you have more detailed information, lend those as well."
Yu Yaoming realized something was wrong, put away the pen, and jumped to the academic lecture hall rooftop, trying to escape.
Bang!
Li Banfeng appeared on the rooftop, kicked Yu Yaoming onto the audience seats.
Yu Yaoming fell heavily, unable to stand steadily.
Li Banfeng held handcuffs, shackling him to the seat, the entire process was incredibly fast, Yu Yaoming couldn't see Li Banfeng's figure nor break free from the handcuffs.
He had some abilities, but judging from physique, shouldn't be a Cultivator.
Fang Yufei adjusted her glasses and saw Li Banfeng.
Her glasses were unique, an extremely valuable advanced piece of equipment, only her brain was struggling to function at the moment.
Li Banfeng, had injured Professor Yu.
To Fang Yufei, Professor Yu was like a God, when he could no longer endure mortal stupidity, he would unleash world-destroying power.
She was willing to be a staunch follower of Professor Yu, under his guidance, she found the path to escape mortality.
But in just that moment, with only a moment.
Li Banfeng subdued Professor Yu.
Who exactly is he?
The academic lecture hall was in chaos, seemingly no one paid attention to Yu Yaoming's situation.
Fang Yufei also wanted to escape, suddenly seeing Teacher Song appear in front of her: "You're Fang Yufei, right? I remember you, you were once a student at Yuezhou University."
Fang Yufei swiftly dodged, trying to bypass Teacher Song, but was held down by Teacher Song.
"You saw him? I shouldn't have ignored you, I didn't expect you to sit beside him."
Teacher Song didn't speak, but Fang Yufei could hear her voice.
"What you saw was not Li Banfeng, you must remember, he is not Li Banfeng, he is a stranger, an unknown stranger you've never met, you don't know him at all."
Fang Yufei felt her head tingling, as if electricity was passing through.
"You don't know him..." The same words repeated a few times, causing Fang Yufei to fall into a coma.
PS: Teacher Song once said that no one can eavesdrop on her calls.
