When emotions started to change, he got unsettled, at one point wondering if he was a pervert, turning into an old beast.
So in these few days, he was examining his feelings for Sinai.
Until he finally confirmed that, for the rest of his life, if there was to be someone to accompany him,
it could only be Sinai.
They didn’t talk much, but there was no awkwardness staying together.
This level of comfortable compatibility, he had never experienced before.
It’s just that the girl’s thoughts were really hard to guess.
He didn’t understand at all why she suddenly ignored him.
Previously, they were always like this, Sinai had never been this angry.
Norton didn’t plan to ask Xize for advice or discuss anything.
In his view, Xize having a girlfriend was completely an accident.
The possibility of this accident was lower than a pig climbing a tree.

Sinai returned to the lab.
She lay on the table, looking listless.
She had to admit, Norton’s words completely unsettled her.
Previously, this Old Shameless was already a rascal, now he was even more of a rascal.
Sinai joined a small group.
This group included Qin Lingyu, Yu Xuesheng, Ling Mianxi, Nie Yi, Xiu, Jiang Ran, Xiu Yu, and others.
The small group was usually not very active, occasionally a few singles would pop up.
Sinai had always been lurking, never speaking, just watching them chat.
After all, she was too busy, doing experiments every day.
Today three messages suddenly popped up.
[Xize]: That rascal told me he would get married before me, does he have someone by his side? Who is he marrying?
[Xize]: When I asked him who it was, he never said, do you think he’s a rascal?
[Xize]: I know he has a junior sister, also an Alchemist, should look pretty good, should I go check out in the Alchemy world?
The three messages suddenly stirred up all the lurkers.
[Xiu]:...Why hurt me?
[Jiang Ran]: +1
[Xiu Yu]: +10086
[Qin Lingyan]: Wuwuwu, I don’t want to blend in with you single dogs, but why don’t I have a girl?!
[Qin Lingyu]: Is Chariot going to end its single life too? And jump straight to marriage? So fast?
[Yu Xuesheng]: His speed has always been fast, after all, he is the Chariot.
[Ling Mianxi]: That’s perfect, Nie Yi and I are also getting married next year, shall we hold a group wedding?
[Jiang Ran]: ??? Group wedding? More like a group massacre of singles? Sis, I advise you to be a decent person.
[Ling Mianxi]: Nyah nyah nyah, you’re such a disgrace, aren’t you the school bully of Verdant? Didn’t you also receive love letters? Why are you still a dog, don’t say I’m your sister outside.
[Jiang Ran]: ...
[Ling Mianxi]: @Sinai, little aunt, you’re the most familiar with him, did he tell you any inside info? [Let me see]
Sinai looked at the third sentence Xize sent, and her heart was momentarily emptied.
She stared blankly at the word "junior sister," a strange sourness and powerlessness surged in her heart.
Only after a dozen seconds did she muster the strength to type two words.
[No.]
[Ling Mianxi]: This is strange, even little aunt doesn’t know, he’s really good at keeping it a secret, I’ll go ask Ah Ying secretly.
A bunch of people started chatting again, but Sinai didn’t look.
She closed the small group, turning on do-not-disturb mode.
Just as she was about to exit the chat app, a message popped up.
[Norton]: Why are you upset? Coming back for dinner tonight? How about sweet and sour ribs?
His tone was much gentler than usual.
Sinai lowered her brows and smiled faintly.
Sure enough, he only saw her as a younger generation to care for.
She really shouldn’t harbor any extra feelings for him.
The device she designed, she had to inspect it personally, ensuring there were no flaws.
The gathered researchers split into two groups, with Charlotte and another group monitoring, as Sinai personally entered the evaluation room.
"Impressive, very impressive." Someone marveled, "Professor Sinai’s ideas and designs are so advanced."
Everyone continued inside, eventually reaching the core area.
Sinai bent down, adjusted a few settings, then slowly nodded: "Indeed, within three years, we can burst out of our current universe." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
Long ago, scientists confirmed the existence of parallel universes, but the technology was insufficient to observe them.
The researchers never thought that in their lifetimes, they could not only break out of the Milky Way, but even see another universe.
Thinking of this got everyone excited.
"Good! So good!" An elderly man clapped, tears welling up, "Our experiment project is finally a success!"
They’ve faced considerable external skepticism these past two years.
Now, they finally had the chance to prove to everyone that the Cosmic Carrier experiment project was not just empty boast!
"Yes." Sinai nodded, "Let’s go out and plan the next step."
The researchers followed behind her.
After a few steps, a young researcher suddenly spoke: "Did anyone hear an electrical noise?"
This question made everyone stop.
With no footsteps, the room fell silent, and the sparking sound became clear.
"Sizzling, sizzling—"
The sound vibrated in their ears.
Sinai’s expression changed: "Quick! Turn off all the power, go!"
However, it was already too late.
"Beep beep beep—"
The alarm in the evaluation room sounded, followed by an electronic voice.
"Alert! Alert! Unknown elemental leak!"
"Alert! Alert! Unknown element will cause an explosion! Estimated explosion radius, one kilometer! All personnel please evacuate immediately! Evacuate immediately!"
"Countdown, 60, 59, 58..."
