Multiple Personalities

In the morning sky, tiny snowflakes unexpectedly began to fall.

Shen Jingqi and Li Baiyu came out from the hospital's private passage, avoiding contact with outsiders.

Li Baiyu's appearance and tall figure were too striking, with an imposing presence; standing in a crowd, she easily stood out.

Li Baiyu wore a brown trench coat, which seemed rather thin for the colder weather.

The two quickly got into the car.

With the support of high technology, their bodies immediately warmed up.

After driving for a while, they soon entered an area familiar to Shen Jingqi.

At the entrance, Li Baiyu and Shen Jingqi got out of the car.

Alumni can enter the campus after a facial scan at the security gate.

Shen University is not large, but strolling inside always brings a sense of tranquility and ease.

This is an ideal learning place where you can encounter all kinds of "geniuses."

Some are contemplating topics, while others are quite unkempt.

Shen Jingqi and Li Baiyu entered through the west gate of Shen University.

This is the only entrance with a classical three-opening vermilion-lacquered palace gate at Shen University.

It is the main entrance of Shen University.

And one of the symbols of Shen University.

On both sides of the school gate are two stone lions, majestic and adorable.

Upon entering the gate, the first thing that catches the eye is a ginkgo tree, facing the nearby Biology Building.

This is the place Li Baiyu was most familiar with as a child.

When her father was busy in the Biology Building, Li Baiyu would play around the ginkgo tree.

Li Baiyu's pace slowed down as she leisurely passed through this area.

Clusters of pristine little snowflakes fell on Li Baiyu's shoulders.

By this time, the ground was already covered with a thin layer of snow.

Snow in BJ, when it hits the ground, quickly melts and doesn't form an accumulation of snow.

Shen Jingqi and Li Baiyu walked side by side in the snow.

From this perspective, Li Baiyu truly appeared very tall.

"Our research lab is in Song and Tang Observation Tower."

The Song and Tang Observation Tower is the tallest building at Shen University.

It has over sixty floors.

It was sponsored by someone named Song Tangguan, hence named after him.

After passing countless buildings that blend modern and classical styles, there's the stadium.

People engaged in various sports activities were actively moving about.

A tall building stood directly ahead.

The two took the elevator to the 36th floor.

Inside the elevator, the lights were as bright as daylight, making the snowflakes on Li Baiyu's body particularly conspicuous.

"Senior, let me help you brush off the snowflakes on you."

Li Baiyu was wearing a velvet trench coat, and once the snowflakes melted, they'd seep in.

"Let's take it off in the meeting room."

The elevator arrived, and Li Baiyu walked out.

Shen Jingqi followed closely behind.

Along the long corridor, Li Baiyu pushed open a door.

So spacious!

A massive laboratory, the size of a football field.

"This is our renovated lab, connecting six rooms together."

Li Baiyu walked into a room.

She took off her trench coat.

Shen Jingqi, quick to react, caught the trench coat and shook off the snowflakes on it.

Li Baiyu was wearing a shirt underneath, her whole body curvaceous.

Perhaps being away from the psychiatric hospital and in her environment, Li Baiyu seemed particularly spirited.

"You should handle your clothes too. There's a coat rack over there."

Shen Jingqi took off his baseball jacket and hung it beside the trench coat.

There were a few people in the inner laboratory, and people were trickling in from outside too.

Shen Jingqi turned his head and saw a dozen information strips.

"It's ten o'clock; let's head out."

Li Baiyu got up, and Shen Jingqi followed her.

In the large meeting room, more than twenty people were already seated.

Among them were two familiar faces, Zhao Xin'an and Zheng Lin.

"Boss."

Zhao Xin'an began:

"Everyone is here; let's start."

Li Baiyu sat in the main seat at the conference table, motioning for Shen Jingqi to sit beside her.

All eyes turned swiftly towards Shen Jingqi.

In Shen Jingqi's view, there were still more than twenty information strips flickering.

"First, let's report on the progress of our research projects, and then have Teacher Zhao report on the first round of testing for [Sensory Paradise]."

The big screen started playing a PPT presentation.

The familiar feeling returned.

During lab group meetings, it was all about reporting on literature and research progress; everyone had their eyes wide open, staring at the screen, but who knew what they were really thinking inside.

Six people reported in total.

Two had fifteen-minute slots, and two ten-minute slots.

Shen Jingqi watched the screen.

All of it was English literature.

Yet, in Shen Jingqi's eyes, this English literature, like an auto-translator, was quickly and smoothly understood by Shen Jingqi.

Reading ten lines at a glance.

All the information was immediately clear in Shen Jingqi's mind.

Indeed, reading literature became faster.

Shen Jingqi felt secretly delighted.

This way, future efficiency would greatly improve, highly beneficial for his professional evaluation.

The reports were all related to cognitive neuroscience, brain regions, brain structure, life sciences, etc.

Some common keywords included #neuron linkage#, #neurogenesis#, #pituitary gland#, #central nervous system#, #neurochemical system#, #acetylcholine#, #neural tissue cells#, etc.

Shen Jingqi instantly memorized all the report contents.

After the literature reporting, Zhao Xin'an began his speech.

The initial test data of three subjects from [Sensory Paradise] were made into dynamic display pages, very intuitive.

"Preliminary tests show that [Sensory Paradise] has some effect on neurogenesis and the intervention of mental illness."

Zhao Xin'an's report results earned applause from everyone in the lab.

"Thank you, Teacher Zhao. [Sensory Paradise] has shown initial success; everyone here has put in much effort and sweat. You've all worked hard."

Li Baiyu smiled and nodded, speaking:

"Teachers Zhao and Zheng are responsible for the overall progress of [Sensory Paradise]. To facilitate research and result testing, I heard sometimes you both eat and live in the lab."

"Engineer Zheng's speed-changing bike is still in the office."

Zhao Xin'an pointed to a corner of the lab.

Some people couldn't help but chuckle.

"At least I go outside. You, on the other hand, have been separated from your girlfriend for a long time. Even so, you still do video checks on her intestines, really."

Zheng Lin shook his head.

Li Baiyu frowned.

"The boss is here, and this is still a group meeting. Keep it serious."

Zhao Xin'an said in a serious tone.

"It's okay, the group meeting is over. Everyone has been working hard recently, so let's relax now and chat about something light."

Li Baiyu stood up.

"Let's go to the campus Chinese restaurant for lunch."

Shen Jingqi and Li Baiyu returned to her room and put on their coats again.

Outside, the snow had stopped.

The sunlight was shining on the ground, melting away the traces of snow.

As the surrounding snowflakes melted, it instead brought a slight chill.

Shen Jingqi and Li Baiyu walked through the campus.

The bell signalling the end of class rang at this time.

At noon, crowds started buzzing busily.

Just as Shen Jingqi was looking around, Li Baiyu suddenly grabbed his hand.

A voice murmured next to his ear:

"My illusion seems to have appeared!"
