Section 1

He Wei walked back to his side and asked, "Teacher, do you have any other matters to discuss?"

He Wei let out a light sigh and obediently turned to the last chapter of the book. Although everyone around her was asleep, she still perked up and diligently listened to the lecture and took notes. She heard the old professor say: "I have already introduced most types of dinosaurs to you before, so now, I have a question for you students: Do you really think dinosaurs are extinct?"

At this moment, she is unaware that more than five hours later, she will deeply regret why she did not think more carefully when she accepted that movie ticket

The words abruptly came to a halt in mid-air, and the old professor suddenly stared at He Wei in a daze

He Wei shook her head, thinking it was just a momentary misperception, and without giving it further thought, she quickened her pace towards the classroom for the next lesson

The old professor sighed and asked, "I hope you will sincerely tell me, is my teaching really poor?"

Her seat was excellent, located right in the center of the cinema, but gradually she began to feel something was amiss— the movie was scheduled to start at 8:00, and it was already past 7:50, yet she was the only person in the entire theater? There were so many people queuing outside to buy tickets; it was impossible that she was the only one coming to see such a classic film! There were so many people queuing outside to buy tickets; it was impossible that she was the only one coming to see such a classic film!

He Wei nodded busily and handed the notebook to him. The old professor opened it and flipped through it carefully, only to find it filled with various knowledge about dinosaurs, including the ferocious Tyrannosaurus rex, the absolute killer of the skies, the pterosaur, and the cunning and clever Oviraptor

Is it that she is experiencing hallucinations, or has the movie already begun screening, with the 3D effects being too realistic? ... But ... even if this is a movie, those ferocious dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park" could never possibly speak human language!

If one must assign blame... He Wei, sitting in the front row, thought for a moment, and it might still be attributed to the teacher who is lecturing at the podium

"Wait a moment—wait a moment, classmates! Can we finish discussing this issue before class ends? I truly believe that the ancestors of humanity might have been dinosaurs—" The old professor, panting on the podium, tried to retain the students who were rushing out, but almost no one was willing to stay and discuss this absurd notion with him. The classroom quickly emptied, leaving only the old professor and He Wei behind. Almost no one was willing to stay and discuss this absurd notion with him. The classroom quickly emptied, leaving only the old professor and He Wei behind.

Fear ... ? ... Dinosaur. ? ! ーー This was the first reaction that sprang to He Wei's mind upon seeing this giant creature

The screening room shook once again with a loud bang, as if something outside was striking the walls, with the frequency and intensity increasing. Finally, accompanied by a final, extremely violent crash, the wall of the screening room was breached, revealing a massive hole over ten meters high, with blinding sunlight streaming in.

He Wei had a look of exasperation on her face, truly unable to bring herself to tell him that she had chosen this course merely to accumulate credits, leaving her momentarily speechless

He Wei stood alone in front of the cinema she used to frequent, feeling a sense of long-lost desolation. Ever since her parents passed away, her finances had become quite strained; the price of a movie ticket could cover several meals for her. Therefore, despite her previous fondness for watching films, it had been a long time since she last visited this place

"Oh, good!" She turned her head and smiled at him, but suddenly noticed that the old professor's gaze seemed a bit strange. Why... why did his pupils appear to have taken on a vertical shape?

Sigh, then why is it that no one is willing to attend my class? I really want to share my knowledge about dinosaurs with them... By the way, could you tell me why you chose my course "Dinosaur Studies"? Is it because you like dinosaurs?" The old professor looked at He Wei through his glasses, his big hopeful eyes blinking.

At the same time she was inflicting pain upon herself, the giant dinosaur, which had been panting heavily, suddenly turned its head, fixed its sharp eyes on He Wei, and opened its massive, blood-filled mouth, asking in a cocky tone: "Hey! Have you seen Cheng Yalun?!"

Before he could finish speaking, the class bell rang with a "ding ding ding" sound. The students, who had been in a state of slumber, suddenly came to life as if resurrected, quickly packed their bags and headed outside.

On a scorching summer day, a large classroom is filled with students attending a lesson. Although it is extremely hot outside, the air conditioning inside provides a cool environment, and the facilities are well-equipped, making it an excellent opportunity for the students to study diligently. However, at this moment, the majority of the students in this classroom are asleep.

The old professor, trembling slightly, took a movie ticket out of his pocket and said: "Recently, a film titled 'Jurassic Park' has been re-released in theaters. I am very touched by how seriously you take your notes, so I am giving you this ticket. You should go and watch it."

He couldn't help but take off his heavy glasses, while admiringly looking up at He Wei and saying, "You remember it in such detail, it's truly wonderful"

Did I walk into the wrong room? He Wei thought to herself, and just as she stood up and intended to leave, all the lights in the screening room suddenly went out! The sudden darkness startled He Wei, and she grasped the armrest of her seat, tentatively calling out in the pitch black, "Is anyone there?"

The movie ticket in her hand was itching to be used; if she didn't go, wouldn't she be wasting these dozens of yuan? He Wei thought this way, and finally stopped hesitating. She decided to let herself relax for a change, so she took the ticket and walked to the entrance, entering the screening room without much trouble.

The old professor murmured the word "queen" several times before suddenly coming to his senses. He shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm getting old, a bit senile, it's nothing, don't pay any attention to it..."

Uh, you speak very seriously... He Wei could only respond evasively, not daring to be completely open and honest.

He Wei had just wanted to respond when the class bell rang. The brief break had come to an end, and she had no choice but to hurriedly bid farewell to the teacher before rushing out. The moment she ran out of the classroom, she once again heard the old professor reminding her from behind: "Be sure to remember to go watch the movie tonight"

The master of that cold voice emerged from the shadows, holding a long sword in his hand. The silver gleam of the sword complemented his silver hair, and he was clad in brown armor. He approached the giant dragon with an indifferent expression, his tone laced with a hint of disdain: "This is called strategy; you are simply too foolish."

The only response he received was the sound of snoring

His tone was sincere and earnest, and He Wei could no longer refuse, so she accepted the movie ticket and bowed to the teacher: "Thank you, teacher, I will, um—definitely work harder in my studies from now on"

The dinosaur spoke? This was her second reaction of even greater astonishment

What left her astonished, however, was yet to come—standing beside the gaping hole in the wall was a colossal creature, at least 8 or 9 meters tall, with sharp teeth and a fierce gaze. It violently swung its thick tail and let out a roar more shocking than that of lions or tigers: "Cheng Yalun, if you have the ability, don't hide!"

"Um, teacher? What is wrong with you?" He Wei noticed that he was staring at her intently, his eyes seemingly filled with indescribable astonishment and joy. She couldn't help but ask with concern, "Are you alright?"

He Wei felt some sympathy for the old professor. He was actually very serious and responsible in his teaching, but his method of instruction was always off the mark, which caused the students to feel drowsy. She wanted to step forward and offer him some words of comfort, but she didn't know what to say. After struggling for a while, she sighed and decided to leave.

She followed the route she had taken, groping her way toward the entrance. Just then, the previously silent screening room suddenly trembled, and He Wei was knocked to the ground. As she was about to get up, she heard a loud bang!

As soon as he finished speaking, the snoring that had been rising and falling in the classroom became even louder

He Wei shuddered all over and spoke! This creature that looked very much like a Tyrannosaurus Rex spoke again! And it was speaking directly to her! She must be dreaming, surely! She simply extended both hands and began to alternately greet her innocent face.

The old professor's voice suddenly sounded behind her, with a tone that seemed somewhat pitiful: "This student, could you please wait a moment? You are the only one in my class who hasn't fallen asleep..."

No one responded, and the auditorium suddenly fell into an extraordinary silence. Yet just before the lights went out, she could still hear the noise coming from outside the door

At 7:30 PM, He Wei arrived at the entrance of the cinema. Perhaps it was because today marked the first day of the re-release of the classic film "Jurassic Park" in 3D, the entrance of the cinema was crowded with a large number of science fiction enthusiasts holding dinosaur plush toys, queuing up to buy tickets

He Wei's heart immediately rang alarm bells; it was clearly nighttime, how could there possibly be sunlight!

Oh—" said the other party, and He Wei did not think much of it, "Then, teacher, if you have nothing else, I will take my leave first, as I have a class later."

The old professor was not annoyed; he lowered his head and said to himself: "Actually, I believe that dinosaurs did not go extinct. Just think about it, they were once so powerful, with heights, weights, and attack capabilities hundreds or even thousands of times greater than ordinary humans. How could they possibly have perished just because scientists mentioned something about a meteor shower? There have been hypotheses suggesting that dinosaurs did not go extinct but rather evolved into smaller terrestrial creatures, such as birds. We have discovered feathers similar to those of birds on many ancient pterosaurs, which seems to support this claim. However, dear students, I have an even bolder hypothesis: dinosaurs did not go extinct; they did evolve, but not into birds, rather they evolved into humans—"

Uh! Teacher, no need to—

The old professor suddenly noticed the notebook in her hand and couldn't help but ask, "May I take a look at your notes?"

The old professor nodded and, at the moment before He Wei turned around, asked in a deep tone: "Do you... do you believe that humans evolved from dinosaurs?"

A flash of silver light passed before He Wei's eyes, and immediately after, the giant dinosaur let out a painful roar, crashing to the ground with a loud "boom," baring its sharp teeth and roaring, "You actually ambushed me!"

He Wei's heart immediately began to race even faster; regardless of what had happened, she was fully aware that she could not continue to stay here any longer

He Wei lay dazed on the ground, completely stunned by the scene before her, only able to extend her trembling hand to repeatedly fan her own face—wake up, wake up, He Wei, you must be dreaming!

The enormous dinosaur, seeing that she did not respond, lowered its head and squeezed in, crushing the seats in the first few rows of the theater with a single step: "Hey, speak up! I'm asking you a question!"

The elderly professor, who appeared to be around forty to fifty years old, was looking at the book in his hands through glasses as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle. In a tone that was extremely soothing and hypnotic, he said to everyone: "Now, please... um, turn to the last chapter... The Exploration of Dinosaur History..."

You must take this! The old professor forcefully shoved the movie ticket into He Wei's hand, saying, "The time is 8 PM tonight, please make sure to go!" Perhaps realizing that his tone was too excited and strange, he quickly added, "Uh, the teacher knows that his lectures are not very good, and there are really too few students who listen as attentively as you do. I am very touched, so please accept this gift."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold voice from another boy suddenly echoed from the dark corner of the theater: "I am here—"

The old professor nodded, returned the notebook to her, but called out to He Wei as she turned around again: "Wait a moment, esteemed Wang... uh, classmate, please wait."

He Wei stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him: "Uh, okay"
