I Hijacked The Timeline

Chapter 72: Invitation From the Scarlet Research

Invitation

Opening the email, Feng Qi began to read its contents.

[Sender: Scarlet Research Institute (certified)]:

To: Feng Qi (Acting Teacher, Star City Academy)

Content:

Hello, Feng Qi. I’m the director of the Genetics Department at Scarlet Research Institute, WeiWei,

I stumbled upon the video of your lecture on Star City Academy’s forum. I am very interested in the concept of “planting gods in the human body” that you proposed.

The Scarlet Research Institute will be holding a symposium in the biological sciences on July 26th. At that time, experts from various scientific fields will come to visit, exchange, and learn. I would like to invite you to participate in this exchange.

If you are interested, you can save my contact information and contact me: 176212xxxxx

After reading the contents of the email, Feng Qi fell into deep thought.

He did not expect the video of his lecture to be noticed by the people of the Scarlet Research Institute and attract their attention.

However, he had to bear this risk, so he was not afraid at all.

The question was whether he should agree to the invitation of the Scarlet Research Institute.

In fact, he did not want to have any contact with the Scarlet Research Institute at all.

In reality, the Scarlet Research Institute and the mysterious organization were taboos that he had highlighted for himself. Before he had absolute strength and influence, the safest choice was not to come into contact with them.

In this aspect, he still had to take risks in the future, so he had to prioritize stability in reality.

Although Star City Academy had extremely strong security measures, special organizations like the Scarlet Research Institute had too much influence. They might find an excuse and send him to a mental hospital.

What would be worse was being sent directly to the guillotine.

Therefore, the best choice now was to refuse, but he could not reveal his attitude towards the Scarlet Research Institute while doing so.

At this thought, he opened his friend list and sent a friend request to the director of the Genetics Department of the Scarlet Research Institute, Wei Wei.

A moment later, the notification that the friend request had been accepted appeared. Then, a video call invitation popped up on the screen.

Feng Qi had no choice but to accept it.

A few seconds later, a woman appeared in the video image.

She was wearing a white scientific research uniform with her hair tied up behind her head. She had clear and bright phoenix eyes and her fair skin was rosy.

The only regret was that the dark circles under her eyes made her look especially haggard. Although she was not wearing any jewelry, she had an otherworldly temperament.

When Feng Qi saw Wei Wei’s appearance, he suddenly felt that she looked very familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

As he pondered, he recalled that the last time he read Mu Qing’s memories, the person who took Little Mu Qing away seemed to be the woman in front of him. He still remembered the conflict in Mu Qing’s heart when she was taken away. However, he did not expect that after more than ten years, her appearance had not changed at all. From her looks, it was impossible to tell her exact age. “Hello, Feng Qi. I’m the director of the Genetics Department of the Scarlet Research Institute. My name is Wei Wei.” The woman introduced herself with a smile.

“Hello, Director Wei.” Feng Qi immediately nodded in response, appearing polite.

In fact, he was cursing inwardly, old witch, one look and I know you aren’t a good person.

“Feng Qi, have you thought about it? Do you accept the invitation to participate in the exchange meeting organized by the Scarlet Research Institute?”

In the face of the question, a hint of helplessness appeared on Feng Qi’s face.

“I’m really sorry. I’ve recently been working on overcoming a difficult problem in the research of cultivation techniques and can’t make time, so I can’t go for the time being. If there’s another opportunity in the future, I’ll definitely attend.”

Hearing Feng Qi’s answer, a trace of surprise appeared on Wei Wei’s face. Clearly, she did not expect him to refuse.

“That’s a pity… But there are some content that we can talk about in the video call.”

“Can I ask you a few questions?”

“Go ahead.”

“I’ve read up on you. Your teacher is Wang Jinsheng, so it’s not difficult to understand your talent in cultivation technique research. However, I’m very curious why your research on the human body is so thorough. Also, how did you come up with the concept of planting gods in the human body?”

Feng Qi appeared very calm.

Before he showed off, he had already understood this part of the information thoroughly. Therefore, he smiled and replied,

“It’s like this. I like to read ancient myths and stories. I happened to read an anecdotal account about gods living in our internal organs, so I suddenly had an idea…”

What Feng Qi said was exactly what the cultivation technique researcher who proposed this concept had experienced.

After hearing his explanation, a look of realization appeared on Wei Wei’s face. Then, she nodded and said,

“To be able to turn concepts into theoretical knowledge, your talent really surprises me. You definitely won’t lose to your teacher, Wang Jinsheng. I’m very interested in the concept of planting gods. If you have any new developments in your research of the human body, please inform me immediately.”

“It’s my honor that this concept is valued by the Scarlet Research Institute. If there are any new developments, I’ll definitely inform you immediately.” With that, Feng Qi prepared to end the conversation.

At this moment, Wei Wei spoke again.

“Actually, I’ve also been studying the combination of the human body and cultivation. However, other than the results of the Rune Transformers, I only only concepts and imperfect theories in other aspects. There’s no major progress made.” As she spoke, she sighed and continued,

“Feng Qi, can you satisfy a small request of mine?”

Pui! I don’t wish too. Please hang up quickly.

“Director Wei, please speak. I’ll definitely satisfy you as far as I can,” Feng Qi replied humbly.

“Can I have a tube of your blood?”

“What do you want my blood for?” Feng Qi was stunned when he heard this.

“Actually, it’s not just you. We’ve collected the blood of all the talented young people of the new generation. The core research area of the Scarlet Research Institute is biological science. We’re very interested in talented geniuses like you. This is also one of our research projects.”

Hearing this, he immediately thought of the list of geniuses.

At this moment, he didn’t seem to have any reason to reject the request. He could only brace himself and answer,

“No problem. How can I give it to you?”

“I’ll send you an automatic blood collection syringe. After you receive it, you only need to pierce the needle into your body to complete the collection automatically. When you are done, you can mail it to the Scarlet Research Institute.”

D*mn it, so much sh*t. And god knows what you’re scheming, collecting the blood of so many geniuses.

“Okay, no problem.”

“By the way, there’s one more thing. Are you interested in joining the Scarlet Research Institute? I can give you a spot in advance.”

Hearing this, the smile on Feng Qi’s face instantly froze.

If he agreed to Wei Wei’s invitation now, his starting point in the future would become even more dangerous. It was equivalent to starting an undercover plot.

The future is bleak..
