Chapter 13 A winding path leads to a secluded place

Menjie has not seen many office doors in IHC, but this door is familiar enough.Unless all the doors of the rooms in the IHC complex are the same, otherwise, he is confident that he is not wrong.But on the way just now, he passed many rooms, which were not like this.So, this office belongs to Chen Youran.If he was wearing VR glasses at this moment, he would definitely be able to see the nameplate on the door.Menjie couldn't hold back his excitement.I didn't expect that following the girl who made his heart beat, he would actually come to the door of Uncle Chen's office. This is simply God's arrangement!When he was about to knock on the door, his hand stopped in mid-air."What if he is not in the room, wouldn't my knocking on the door attract other people's attention? What if someone comes out of the office next door and says that he is not there and asks me to wait, wouldn't I be discovered? Just push the door and go in. Even if it is rude, he should be able to understand..."Thinking of this, he gently pressed his hands on the door and pushed it a little harder.The door was pushed open!Menjie was stunned, and quickly dodged in, then gently closed the door, and then collapsed behind it.Only now did he dare to breathe loudly.He had been holding it in for too long.After several minutes, he finally had time to observe the office.Obviously, the gray-haired Uncle Chen Youran was not in the office, otherwise, he should have greeted him just now."How could it be such a coincidence?"After Menjie recovered some of his strength, his mind began to work rapidly.He carefully locked the door behind him, and then tiptoed to explore the office.There were no windows in the office, so the lights were on, but the light intensity was still soft and not dazzling.The layout of the office had not changed much compared to five years ago. The workbench, test bed and bookshelves on both sides were still in their original places.The only difference that he could immediately notice was the display screens on the workbench.They were all turned off at this moment."Could it be...Uncle Chen is on a business trip?"Then...Can't I just go wild in this office? !I've been so scared for so long, why not take a good rest here!Menjie came to the workbench, opened the refrigerator in the corner, took out a can of ice soda, pulled the ring, and poured it straight into his stomach.The exciting feeling that he hadn't experienced in 5 years.He felt that the depression just now was swept away, and he paced around the room.I didn't want to lie on the test bed, after all, I just slept for 5 years...Menjie walked to the bookshelf on the left in three or two steps, scanning the rows of paper books."These are about to become antiques."From childhood to adulthood, his reading has been mainly electronic and online, but every time he holds a paper book, he still has a sense of closeness from his genes.Humans came from the era of tortoise shells, bamboo slips, and paper and silk, and have an innate attachment to concrete objects.Suddenly, he saw a label "Science Fiction" on the bookshelf near his knees, and behind the label, there was a whole row of books."Big Dipper Stars", "Critical Path", "Painting the Sky as a Prison", "The Way of Neutralization"...Menjie flipped through these books quickly with interest, and his admiration for Chen Youran increased a little more."I didn't expect that he is not only an expert in the field of cryogenic hibernation, but also has such a wide range of knowledge, including aviation, aerospace, new energy, and space environmental governance..."After drinking a can of soda water and basically going through all the books on the bookshelf, Menjie burped with satisfaction and threw the can into the trash can.At this time, he noticed the wall between the bookshelf and the workbench.No, it's not a wall.Five years ago, he noticed that there was an inconspicuous door there.His heart beat suddenly, and he widened his eyes and looked at the wall.Test Monitoring Hall.The six engraved words are still there.This was the first doorplate that Menjie saw with his naked eyes in IHC after he woke up.He waved his fist excitedly.Where does the door lead to?Do I have the permission to go in?Will they find me after I go in?There are still many questions, but in the face of the strong curiosity that surged up from deep in his heart, all of them retreated wisely.Menjie took a deep breath and walked to the hidden door.He carefully observed every place, hoping to find some mechanism or clues so that he could open the door.But apart from the six words, the whole door was extremely smooth, not to mention the handle, there was not even a button."Is it opened by a spell?"Menjie took a step back.Just as he was still hesitating whether to shout out shameful words like "Open Sesame", the door suddenly disappeared.It was like it melted into the air.Menjie opened his mouth wide.Behind the disappeared door was a narrow path. Looking from his position, he could not see anything clearly except for the faintly shining dark blue signal light."Who cares? Let's go in and take a look! We have come this far!"Men Jie took two steps and walked onto the path.The door that had just disappeared silently returned to its original state behind him, completely blocking the light in Chen Youran's office.It didn't take long for Men Jie's eyes to adapt to the darkness.This passage was not straight, but extended forward and downward in an arc to the left, as if leading to the underground.On both sides of the passage, there were neatly distributed pipes and lines, which were carefully designed at a glance.Men Jie didn't know what these pipes were used for, so he could only bite the bullet and move forward.Recalling the exciting experience after waking up, he began to feel something was wrong.Although he always felt that he was a lucky person overall, he never expected to do something like today.The red-skirted girl appeared, she perfectly blocked the person she was talking to with her body, led him to the elevator and then disappeared, and it happened that Chen Youran's office was right next to him, so he could push the door and enter directly, and Chen Youran was not in the office... The weirdest thing was that he could actually have the authority to enter this passage and go to the test monitoring hall!Each one is a low-probability event, and when you multiply them, the probability is so small that it is unimaginable.Even if he saved the Milky Way in his previous life, it wouldn't be such a coincidence, right?And what was the "big thing" that the red-skirted girl mentioned when chatting with the woman in front of the elevator?He was already sure that he was pushed here by an invisible force, and every detail of this process was carefully designed.He had no idea what would happen next.Because there was only one road under his feet, and he could only move forward.Not long after walking, a little light appeared at the end of the passage. Obviously, there was a corner to the right.After the corner, perhaps it was the test monitoring hall.Menjie slowed down his pace and moved quietly until he could vaguely hear voices coming from the corner.He was very excited. He had never heard such a lively conversation since he woke up.Moreover, it seemed that something urgent had happened. The voices coming from the corridor revealed anxiety and confusion."Officer Zhang Xiuyi, what is your conclusion?"He finally heard a complete sentence clearly.
