Chapter 22 - Carl's Mentor Was Starting to Be Suspicious of George?

George waited until Carl woke up only to find that his friend’s mental state was very poor. It was probable that it would take him a long time to recover.

George had no choice but to bring Carl back to his apartment in fear that Anna would return.

When the sky darkened, the two of them finally got back to George’s apartment.

Carl’s condition was much better than before, but he was still in a daze.

George guessed that Anna had done the same thing like releasing a unique brainwave towards Carl, but Carl was affected much more than he was.

After settling Carl, who was in a trance, George immediately began to study the ability he had just acquired.

Using brainwaves, he could activate the space storage card.

George realized that he had opened up a whole new world.

Meeting Anna by accident this time had allowed him to gain control of the space storage card.

He first closed the storage space that was now before his eyes, and then tried to open the space again in his mind.

As expected, the storage space appeared again.

“The opening of the storage space should be related to brainwaves…”

After all, he had just felt Anna release an invisible wave toward him.

George was quite delighted. He repeatedly experimented with the opening and closing of the storage space. This feeling was quite mysterious. In the future, he could put items that were inconvenient to carry into the storage space.

He took out his pistol and threw it into the storage space in front of him. The pistol that weighed more than 1 kg floated in the strange storage space.

“Not bad, I don’t have to worry about carrying weapons in the future!”

Following this, George bustled around in his apartment. He had to return to the base the next day to join the research team on the alien starship, thus he had to bring many necessities with him.

Half an hour later, the items he was prepared to bring filled up the entire storage space.

Looking at the space that was filled with all kinds of necessities, George suddenly felt that the storage space in front of him was still too small.

This reminded him of the demo video he had seen in the chat group. The storage space he had now should be that of the lowest grade F-grade storage card.

He knew that the highest grade storage card was the A-grade storage card that could fit a super large interstellar battleship.

He had unintentionally obtained the F-grade space storage card from Anna, but he wondered if there were any higher-level space storage cards on Earth.

George wasn’t greedy. He was already contented with having an F-grade space storage card at this point.

After finishing his preparations, George got a suitcase and put some light items into it, mainly to confuse the others.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to explain why he had so many items with him if he reported to the base empty-handed.

George would definitely make preparations to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

He had originally wanted to use the afternoon to see if he could find Anna but to think he coincidentally met her at his good friend Carl’s home.

The outcome of it all was also satisfactory, at least it wasn’t as dangerous as he had expected.

He still had many questions about Anna and her past, and George planned to investigate slowly after he entered the research group. After all, his power alone was simply not strong enough.

The night went by peacefully.

Early in the morning, George was woken up by the sound of Carl’s voice. He went to Carl’s room and found that the guy had already woken up. However, there was still something wrong with Carl’s condition.

Carl was lying on the bed with his eyes wide open. He looked at the ceiling with an empty gaze.

“Carl! How are you?” George looked at his good friend with concern.

Carl did not pay attention to him at all. Instead, he was talking to himself, “I don’t want to become someone like that! You are all monsters, demons, devils from hell! The humans will defeat you one day!”

Carl said a bunch of words in a jumble. Seeing that his friend’s condition had not improved, George, who was standing by the bed, made a decision in his heart, “I should bring Carl with me. Perhaps I can use the resources available there to heal him.”

George looked at the time. There was still more than an hour before the car that his mentor had arranged to pick him up would arrive.

He went to the wardrobe and selected some clothes for Carl.

The two of them were about the same size, which saved him the trouble of having to go out to buy them.

Besides, many of the shops in the city were closed now, in fear that the thugs in the parade would take the opportunity to rob them.

Just when everything was ready, the staff responsible for picking him up rang George’s phone.

George first explained Carl’s situation to the staff, and then with the help of the staff, they carried Carl into the car.

There were three other people in the car. Judging from their clothes, they should be special agents too, though he wasn’t sure if they belonged to Buck’s team.

Because the annoying Camilla was not in sight, he wasn’t very sure about his speculations.

These agents were all very cold. Not one of them spoke during the whole trip. Even if George wanted to initiate a conversation, he was rejected with silence.

More than an hour later, when the damaged roof appeared, George knew that he had reached his destination.

Here, three professors were working together on the research of the alien starship.

Professor Eugene was one of them. Among the three professors, the one with the most power of speech was Professor Lodge, who was also Carl’s mentor.

On the way here, George had already told Professor Lodge about Carl’s situation through his mentor.

Of course, he hid Anna’s matter from them.

The car that was responsible for transporting them stopped in front of the research institute. After George got out of the car, he saw his mentor and Professor Lodge walk out at the same time.

“Damn it, George, you won’t come until the last day of the deadline, am I right?”

George could only smile awkwardly in the face of his mentor’s ridicule.

Professor Eugene turned around and saw the staff carrying Carl out of the car. His expression instantly became serious as he asked, “Why did Carl become like this?”

Professor Lodge probably wanted to ask the same question as his face showed concern when he heard that Professor Eugene had asked first.

Carl’s performance in the aerospace major was very outstanding. His mentor, Professor Lodge had taken a liking to this and took the initiative to become Carl’s mentor.

Now that Carl had become like this, as his mentor, it was a given Professor Lodge felt bad.

Professor Lodge first had the staff send Carl to the infirmary. The infirmary of the research institute had the most advanced treatment equipment, and it was also equipped with top-notch medical experts.

This was also the reason why George insisted on bringing Carl.

After watching his student being carried away, Professor Lodge turned to look at George as he asked, “George, you said that Carl was already unconscious when you found him at his home?”

“Yes, Professor Lodge!”

Professor Lodge seemed to be thinking about something. It didn’t take long before he voiced his doubts again, which almost made George reveal a flaw.

“George, do you know about Anna’s disappearance?”
