Chapter 2 Research Association
The phone number was dialed, but no one answered for a while.
No one answered the first call, so Chen Lin endured his temper and called again.
He was sure that the number was still in use, but the person on the other end of the phone didn't answer the call.
‘Is it possible that the Fifth Research Association has been abolished? ’
While Chen Lin was confused, his cell phone buzzed to remind him that the call had been connected.
"Hello?"
A very impatient voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone, seeming to be extremely angry at Chen Lin for making this call.
"If you have anything to say, please tell me, I'm still busy here!"
Chen Lin was somewhat caught off guard by what happened after the call was connected.
He thought that after the call was connected, the person on the other end would at least have a kinder attitude, even if what he said was nothing more than fantasy!
However, Chen Lin still read out the names of the numbers in the phone book.
“Are you the Fifth Research Association of Folklore Affairs?”
“Yes!”
“Are you considered an official department?”
"Seriously... Just tell me if you have anything to do, and I'll record it for you."
The other party spoke calmly, and there was some noise accompanying his words, and he even heard it. Someone was shouting something like "I'm sorry" and "I'm sorry".
Chen Lin suddenly realized what the person opposite was doing at this time.
Emotions are like fishing and playing poker!
However, he still asked cautiously: "So you accept reports of all kinds of weird things?"
"Oh, I've reported something... I've passed! Our association is strapped for funds right now..."
The voice on the phone seemed lukewarm, "If you have anything to say, just tell me and we will verify it based on the situation." "
Chen Lin took a deep breath and then briefly described the matter of opening the portal to the other end of the phone.
As a result, the person on the other end of the phone was not only not surprised at all, but calmly replied to Chen Lin after listening - 'So that's it! ’
“Okay, we understand, you can go back and wait for notification.”
His words were extremely perfunctory, and he didn't take what Chen Lin said seriously at all!
Chen Lin naturally heard the perfunctory tone on the other end of the phone, and he laughed out loud in anger.
"But you didn't even ask for my address, name, contact information, etc... How will you contact me then? This is still a landline phone number!"
"Oh, why is this so? It's so troublesome... I've seen people like you a lot. Who would believe you if you say you created a portal?"
"How could there be a portal in this world? Something? I suggest you go to the hospital for a brain checkup!”
Several people chuckled from the opposite side, obviously amused by the words.
Chen Lin was a little stunned by the words on the other side of the phone. He really didn't expect that the other side didn't believe everything he said.
I didn’t even mean to come out and verify it - because the other party didn’t believe it at all!
“But I can really open the portal!”
Chen Lin’s tone was a little angry, “Since you are the official department that accepts this kind of information, you should verify it to some extent. Let’s draw another conclusion?”
"Record my story, I ask you to send someone to verify it!"
"Otherwise I will file a complaint against you!"
The person on the other end of the phone couldn't bear it after hearing these words. Stop laughing, just about to mock Chen Lin, but suddenly stopped.
"Okay, I just want to go out. You can ask for the address of the person who called. Xiao Liu and I will go see him then." "Don't make another eye-catching complaint. Give it to us then." Make it a hit again..."
"President, are you serious? It's quite troublesome to make a trip."
"It's like running away on business."
"...Okay, I understand!"
Perhaps the sound insulation effect of the landline phone's microphone was not that strong. Chen Lin heard almost every word of the conversation between the two people on the other end of the phone.
This made his anger quickly subside, and he somewhat understood why the man's attitude was like this.
This research association was most likely established in the 1980s, and based on the conversation just now, it is speculated that this so-called fifth research association has not discovered any real superpowers or superpowers over the years!
Under the general development trends and perceptions of the entire country over the years, it is really not easy for this so-called fifth research association to have not produced results for decades and has not been disbanded.
If you call yourself, you will undoubtedly be identified as a liar.
If he hadn’t said he wanted to complain at the end, the other party would never have sent someone out!
“Tell me your city, phone number and name, and we will send someone to meet you within a week.”
The man on the other end of the phone seemed more dedicated, and the sound of turning pages could be heard.
You should be preparing to record Chen Lin’s detailed information.
Chen Lin stopped talking to the man and quickly reported his location and contact information.
The person on the other side politely signaled Chen Lin to wait for contact, and quickly hung up the phone.
However, Chen Lin could still feel that the other party did not take what he said seriously.
After all - who in modern society believes this stuff!
Believe it or not, Chen Lin has already done what he should do.
After hanging up the phone, he immediately went to the company's supervisor to apply for a week-long vacation.
The supervisor was very talkative and didn't even ask Chen Lin what he was going to do.
Sitting on the subway home, Chen Lin carefully protected his left hand, trying his best to ensure that he did not touch any flat objects.
Or even any item!
He was completely unable to guarantee whether his left hand would be effective on living creatures at this time. Although there was no problem in touching himself, he did not dare to risk trying this on others.
If one accidentally causes the other party to explode on the spot... then the rest of his life will be really sad.
After carefully returning to the downstairs of the house he rented, Chen Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He is not going to go out in the next few days.
Before the members of this so-called association appeared, Chen Lin still felt that it was safer to lock himself in the room.
He planned to take advantage of these few days to study the world behind the portal.
If possible, Chen Lin still wants to conduct a small exploration of that world... After all, the more information he has about this type of information, the more proactive he will be in the future.
When Chen Lin returned to his residence, Zhou Anrui had just called back his subordinate Liu Qi in an association institution far away in Xanadu.
When Zhou Anrui said the purpose of this trip, Liu Qi's eyes widened and he asked with disbelief: "President, are you going to do it yourself?"
"I can go there. It's a long trip. The train takes several hours."
Zhou Anrui smiled noncommittally and just patted his subordinate on the shoulder and told him to leave in two hours.
For President Zhou, what he cares about is not at all about talented people who can open portals.
On this trip, he still needs to go to Shanhai City to find his old friends there, so that the association he belongs to will not be abolished so early!
