Embers Ad Infinitum

The reason why Jiang Baimian added the latter sentence was because she knew that this was what Gnawa cared about most.

On the one hand, he wants to find the information and research results left by Ole, to see if there is a way to lift the various restrictions in the core module of intelligent humans, and to see if souls can be generated as a result. On the other hand, he also wants to know about this suspected "father of the source brain" How do scientists evaluate and view intelligent robots, and this is often reflected in their last words.

"So, we either continue to look for opportunities to contact Avia, or we risk going to the ruins of Wasteland No. 13 and open that laboratory?" Long Yuehong didn't like either of the possible developments.

They are all too dangerous, many times more dangerous than what the "old tune team" is doing today.

——The Marcus incident can only be concealed for a quarter of an hour. The owner of the "Virtual World" and the senior officials of "Prime City" should know that something is wrong by now. If they are vigilant and prepared, with the current strength of the "Old Tune Team", even if they can recruit Xiao Chong as a helper, the hope of success is extremely slim.

In comparison, the laboratory in the ruins of Wasteland No. 13 may be safer. After all, in the eyes of the "old tune team", Wu Meng and Xiao Chong are at the same level.

Of course, no one knows what else is going on in this kind of place except the dead Ole and others.

Jiang Baimian thought about it and comforted Long Yuehong:

"We can't make the final decision on this matter. We have to report it to the company to see what their follow-up arrangements are."

"Actually, as long as you are willing to die, the company doesn't mind letting you do these two things." Shang Jianyao raised his hand and touched his chin, looked at Long Yuehong and smiled.

Do you think I wanted to take a chance by asking that question? Long Yuehong rationally gave up arguing with Shang Jianyao.

At this time, Bai Chen frowned slightly and said:

"I thought I could get some important information from Marcus, but it all just pointed to other people and other places."

Jiang Baimian smiled and said:

"Just the words 'Eighth Research Institute' are of great significance."

She paused and said:

“Moreover, if Marcus doesn’t have important information, will the Prime City allow him to enjoy the treatment of the ‘virtual world’?

“Just because he’s Ole’s grandson?

"The awakened ones from the 'Broken Mirror' field at the 'Soul Corridor' level are no big deal.

"So I think……"

Jiang Baimian looked around and said seriously:

“The universal password ‘Messiah’ is very critical and plays a vital role.”

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen thought about it carefully and felt that this analysis made sense.

Shang Jianyao then smiled and said:

"It's a pity that they didn't cooperate with the 'Anti-Intellectual Cult' before. Otherwise, things would have been much simpler. They could just delete the memories related to Marcus and Avia without wasting manpower."

Jiang Baimian laughed and said:

"How do you know this isn't for fishing?"

"Then their fishing skills are too poor." Shang Jianyao commented sincerely.

The fish of the "Old Tune Group" not only ate the bait, but also returned to the sea smoothly.

Jiang Baimian didn't answer this, looked at the sky outside the window and said:

"Find something to eat first, and then go to the safe house to send a telegram to the company."

"Okay!" Shang Jianyao was the first to respond.

He had touched his belly.

When a group of five people walked towards the door, Shang Jianyao patted Gnawa's shoulder, making a clanking sound.

"Are you looking forward to the information and words that Ole left behind?" He smiled and said to his fellow intelligent man, "When you get it, you will know why Ore was wary of the 'Source Brain' and why he left the 'Machine Paradise' in the first place. , it’s not too uncommon for father and son to turn against each other.”

"They are not the real father and son..." Gennava replied according to the procedure, but stopped before he finished speaking.

…………

The next morning, Deputy Minister of Security Xi Yu entered his office on the 646th floor.

After making tea in an orderly manner and reading the intranet messages, Xiyu picked up the first document at hand.

This is a telegram from the "Old Tune Team."

Another telegram? Do you want funds or information this time? Xiyu chuckled lightly and muttered to himself.

She really wanted to save this telegram until the end, so as not to add another troublesome but not difficult thing to her beautiful morning.

At that time, the minister may write in the instructions:

"Minister Xi Yu, please explain why they applied for funding three times in just one month?"

Huh... Xiyu breathed out, opened the sealed bag, and took out the telegram inside.

She browsed quickly, her expression gradually becoming more exciting.

"They broke the 'virtual world' and got the information from Marcus?" Xiyu couldn't help but make a sound.

In her opinion, even if awakeners at the "soul corridor" level are sent out, the hope of success is not too great. Otherwise, the secrets held by Marcus and Avia over the years would have been lost long ago.

And the "old tune team" actually completed this extremely difficult task!

Even if they didn't choose Avia's side, which is more "dangerous" and difficult to break through, it would still be very difficult to contact Marcus, get the pass code, and escape from the "virtual world".

This completely exceeds the strength positioning of the "Eleventh Old Tune Team" in the company.

Xiyu continued to read the content behind the telegram, and his speed slowed down unconsciously.

She quickly figured out the key to success of the "Eleventh Old Tune Group", that is, Jiang Baimian's group:

They first took advantage of the contradiction between the "Mirage Sect" and the "Mirror Sect" to get the price that the awakened person at the "Soul Corridor" level would most likely pay. Then, while waiting again and again, they recorded "Tao and Electrical Maintenance" Something on the radio.

After being prepared accordingly, they spliced ​​the powerful recording into a song that made anyone who heard it want to go to the bathroom.

"They actually came up with a way to record Wu Meng's words? Don't you know this is dangerous? Once Wu Meng notices it, they will be in trouble." Xiyu whispered in surprise and amusement, "But, this is indeed a There is a way, but it depends on luck, maybe ten days and a half, or even a year and a half, there will be no words that can be used. Well, I have to remind them in the call back that similar attempts should be made as little as possible."

At this point, Xiyu has understood that the success of the "Eleventh Old Tune Group" has its own reasons. They did not suddenly increase in strength for no reason.

“‘Having the brains’ often comes before ‘having the strength.’” The deputy minister praised, then frowned, “When there were so many uncertainties, they took direct action? No. Think about what will happen if you fail?”

As soon as his thoughts flashed, Xi Yu combined multiple similar failure cases and roughly guessed what Jiang Baimian was preparing for.

She picked up the azure ceramic tea cup angrily and amusedly, and took a sip.

As for Jiang Baimian's team's inquiry about follow-up arrangements, because it involves important matters, it is not something she, the deputy minister of security, can decide.

This needs to be discussed by the board of directors.

…………

In the morning, a group of five people from the "Old Tune Team" who had restored their original appearance came to the Hunter's Guild in the First City.

Their goal today was to find Han Wanghuo, and along the way, they asked if any hunter had completed the previous mission.

——The mission to find the families of Waite and his companions.

After finding the corresponding window, Long Yuehong took out the order form and her hunter badge and asked eagerly:

"Is there any result?"

The female staff behind the window made some inquiries and said:

"Yes.

"Do you need to talk to the completer face-to-face, or just look at the printed information?"

Long Yuehong was about to answer the first one when she heard Bai Chen say:

"Just look at the information."

Uh... Long Yuehong asked another question in confusion:

"I thought this was a simple matter. Why didn't anyone complete it until today?"

"Yesterday." The female staff member corrected.

Then, she added:

"The records have been completed twice before, but we have confirmed them to be false. Some ruins hunters want to defraud you of the supplies."

"Ah?" Long Yuehong was a little confused for a moment.

Bai Chen explained in a low voice:

“If conditions permit, the Guild will verify the results.

"Credit is the core element for a guild to function."

That's it... No wonder the Hunter's Guild has grown to such an extent... Long Yuehong sighed while waiting for the printing of the information.

At this time, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian were looking at the big screen idly to see what special tasks they had recently.

Soon, they noticed a huge reward:

"As long as you can catch one of them, you can receive 10,000 Orei, unlimited times."

"If you catch one, you can pay off the rest of the debt..." Shang Jianyao's eyes moved upward and he read the main content with great interest.

Jiang Baimian also became a little interested in this.

The next second, Shang Jianyao touched his mouth and muttered to himself in confusion:

"Sangri Drase...this name sounds a bit familiar."

Jiang Baimian's mouth moved slightly and he couldn't help but glance at this guy:

Isn't this your pseudonym?
