Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 606: Exchange of needs

Have you ever explored the psychological shadow of "Tieshan City Second Food Company"? Xu Datong opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to ask.

This is different from some public information that does not involve private interests. It belongs to the experience accumulation of an awakened person at the "soul corridor" level and is extremely valuable.

Therefore, Xu Datong chose to remain silent and wait to see what Xue Yueyue would say next.

Jiang Baimian had already prepared a draft and said in a neither fast nor slow tone:

"There is indeed something strange about the 'Tieshan City Second Food Company', and even the corresponding psychological shadow has been affected until decades later.

"You two should understand what I mean, right?"

This matter involves many secrets of the "Old Diao Group", such as the Six Senses Pearl and the Little Jade Buddha. It is difficult for Jiang Baimian to go into too much detail.

Xu Datong has rich experience and quickly found the corresponding example:

"You want to say that after the owner of the psychological shadow entered the 'Tieshan City Second Food Company', he was unknowingly affected without realizing it. Even decades later, when your companions explored there, Can you still find some abnormalities rooted in psychological shadows?"

"Yes." Jiang Baimian nodded first, and then added, "The owner of the room was not an awakened person at that time."

Young Li Shouyi showed a surprised expression, and Xu Datong frowned unconsciously.

The latter couldn't help but asked:

“You mean, after being affected, the owner of the room not only became an awakened person, but also successfully crossed the ‘Sea of Origin’?

"When he enters the 'Soul Corridor', this influence still hasn't disappeared?"

"It should disappear now." Shang Jianyao replied quite proudly.

Xu Datong pondered for a moment and asked tentatively:

"'Destiny'?"

He thought of the ability of "Destiny" from the fact that "Tieshan City Second Food Company" is one of the Buddhist holy places.

He is worthy of being an awakened person at the "soul corridor" level of a powerful force, and his knowledge is rich enough... Jiang Baimian did not hide anything and answered calmly:

"That's what we also guessed."

Xu Datong nodded slightly:

"To achieve such an effect, you must at least be a 'Fate Master' at the 'New World' level."

This is his judgment.

Because Xue Shiyue and Zhang Qubing were honest with each other and shared such important information, Xu Datong did not hesitate to share his experience and knowledge.

"Is there an alive mummy buried there?" Shang Jianyao was "shocked."

He was directly using Yan Hu's situation as a trap.

Jiang Baimian did not give him a chance to continue to develop, and instead talked about some of his experiences when exploring that psychological shadow.

This includes the professional woman Liu Lu who is in a different state "every time", the missing employee photos and corresponding introductions, and Shang Jianyao's experience of being brought back to the starting point several times.

Of course, Jiang Baimian did not explain in detail how Shang Jianyao finally got through this psychological shadow, nor did he mention the changes caused by Zen Master Pudu's recitation of medical records.

She clearly distinguishes what can be said and what cannot be said.

"It is worthy of being one of the holy places of Buddhism..." Xu Datong obviously connected Shang Jianyao's several encounters with his different abilities in the "Bodhi" field, and he felt sincerely.

He looked at Xue Shiyue and Zhang Qubing, considered and said:

"You have shown enough sincerity, I certainly can't hide it.

"Let me confirm one thing first. To what extent have you investigated the source of 'unintentional illness'?"

"New World." Jiang Baimian answered truthfully, "This is just our speculation for the time being."

Xu Datong glanced left and right instinctively:

"I wonder what you know about the sleeping strong men of the 'New World'?

"I mean the type that cannot return on its own, such as Yan Hu on the island in the center of Nu Lake."

He heard about the fish-man angel and Yan Hu from the Tan family in Hongshiji.

"If you stay in the area around Yan Hu for more than a certain critical time, you will inevitably be infected with 'unintentional disease', and the closer you are to Yan Hu, the shorter the critical time." Jiang Baimian put the precautions provided by the company in vague and general terms. The argument was spoken.

Xu Datong showed a slight smile:

“It seems you do know enough.

"So, you judge that the 'New World' is the source of 'Wuxin Disease', and that the strong man whose spirit enters the 'New World' and whose body remains in the dust is equivalent to a node, causing the 'Wuxin Disease' to spread?"

"Absolutely." Shang Jianyao rubbed his chin, acting very serious.

Xu Datong breathed out slowly:

"This is also the speculation of our 'Salvation Army', and although our seniors who entered the 'New World' did not say it explicitly, they all gave certain hints."

"Why don't they say anything? Where has their spirit of 'for all mankind' gone?" Shang Jianyao was excited and asked angrily.

Is this the honest one, or the one with strong empathy, or the one who values feelings? Jiang Baimian guessed next to him.

Frankly speaking, she was a little afraid that the two members of the "Salvation Army" opposite her would become angry and start a fight with Shang Jianyao on the spot.

The young Li Shouyi was obviously a little angry, while Xu Datong, who claimed to be in his fifties, fell silent.

After a few seconds, he laughed to himself and said:

"Except for some old-timers, the person I have seen who is most persistent in the slogan 'for all mankind' is an outsider like you."

He quickly calmed down the expression on his face and slowed down his speech:

"Maybe they have something to hide, maybe they are still waiting for an opportunity, maybe there are certain errors in our guess, and this error includes the reason why they did not directly tell us the origin of the 'innocent disease'."

Without giving Shang Jianyao a chance to respond, Xu Datong continued:

"Haha, you almost interrupted my train of thought. What I want to say is that since Yan Hu, a strong man in the 'New World' who is not in the right state, will spread 'unintentional disease' to the surrounding area, this is a very obvious and important clue. , then why does the Eighth Research Institute, whose mission is to eliminate information related to the cause of the destruction of the old world, allow them to exist?

"The special commissioners of the Eighth Research Institute we captured include three awakened people at the 'Soul Corridor' level, and they have never received the task of killing the 'New World' strong men like Yan Hu and erasing the relevant traces. It’s not that they don’t know there are such sleepers, they at least know the specific locations of some of them, but the senior management of the Eighth Research Institute told them to bypass those places and leave them alone.”

Captured three special agents from the "Soul Corridor" level? Jiang Baimian didn't know whether to lament that the "Salvation Army" was powerful and had no scruples, or to envy the Eighth Research Institute for mastering some of the mysteries of awakening. There were so many awakened people at the "Soul Corridor" level that it would not hurt to lose several in a row. Move the bones.

After Xu Datong finished speaking, Shang Jianyao, who didn't know which personality he switched to, responded faintly:

"Maybe it's because I can't beat..."

Those special correspondents are at best the awakened ones who have explored the depths of the "soul corridor", while the sleepers like Yan Hu have already entered the "new world".

Xu Datong shook his head:

"If you really want to get rid of such sleepers, Xiao Li can do it without you or me doing anything.

“Whether it is short-range ballistic missiles or ultra-high-altitude bombings, they can avoid corresponding dangers and directly destroy the body of the sleeper.

"Even if they can 'interfere with matter,' because the corresponding momentum is too large, they cannot do it at a longer distance. By the time they can barely exert influence, the distance is short enough that the explosion range is enough to cover them."

Bang bang bang, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands.

Now it’s Zen Master Pudu who likes superior firepower.

"This is indeed a problem." Jiang Baimian considered it for a moment and said, "I don't have a specific idea for the time being, but a big shot once said that some people in the Eighth Research Institute have undergone terrible changes and become dark. running dog."

This comes from the original emperor of the "Primary City" and the father of "Original Brain", Olei.

Xu Datong showed a thoughtful expression.

After dozens of seconds, he asked:

"You will be going to the ruins of Tieshan City soon?"

"We plan to collect some more information." Jiang Baimian asked bluntly, "Do you have any on hand?"

Xu Datong nodded lightly:

"I will compile a copy later and give it to you through Captain Tan of Hongshiji.

"However, don't have too high expectations. Our 'Salvation Army' is separated from the ruins of Tieshan City by the 'Primary City'. We have never set foot here before. All the information we have now is that we have decided to explore the Second Food Company." Those who have been slowly collecting this Buddhist holy land may not be as rich as you."

"Exchange." The smile in Jiang Baimian's tone was obvious.

She seemed to mention it casually:

"Do you know Lin Sui, a genius scientist from the old world?

"She may have a certain relationship with Tieshan City, the 'Immortal Man' project, and the Monk Order."

Xu Datong recalled for a while and said:

“I personally haven’t heard of it, I will send a telegram back to someone to check it out.

"If there is any harvest, I will let you know when the time comes."

"Okay." Shang Jianyao responded happily.

The exchange between the two parties ended here. Xu Datong and Li Shouyi turned around and left the meeting place first to show their sincerity.

After watching their figures disappear into the distance, Jiang Baimian sighed:

"They say the Salvation Army has fallen, but it doesn't look like it has fallen much..."

After saying that, she took steps.
