"Professor?"
"Professor Li?"
Li Xianping heard someone calling him through the fog of sleep.
Rubbing his eyes groggily, he put on his glasses and vaguely saw Lin Yan's face swaying in front of him.
"Professor!" Lin Yan pushed his arm again.
Li Xianping finally woke up. Recently, he and Lin Yan's team had been trying to unlock the secrets harbored by Fujiwara Makoto, often working late into the night. He had surely fallen asleep at the desk due to the extreme exhaustion.
The Human Cradle Plan Foundation had provided nearly unlimited funds, but their patience was clearly not infinite.
"What time is it now?" asked Li Xianping.
"Just past three in the morning," Lin Yan replied as she pushed a cup of coffee towards him, continuing, "I've found something, it might be the breakthrough in our research."
Li Xianping immediately perked up, took a sip of coffee, and followed Lin Yan to the experimental instruments.
