Embers Ad Infinitum

Regarding Jiang Baimian's speculation, Gnawa's eyes flashed red as usual:

"When Buddhism talks about the Tathagata of the World, it always says that this world is his dream. In many classics related to Taoism, there is also a saying that Zhuang Sheng is obsessed with butterflies in his dreams... Therefore, I think that connecting 'Zhuang Sheng' with dreams is It’s a more reasonable deduction.”

This is different from the ability of people to dream in the "Dawn" field. It is about materializing one's own dreams and affecting others.

Combining the information that "Zhuang Sheng" is the Buddhist World-Free Tathagata, and that this place is one of the holy places of Buddhism, Jiang Baimian regards the encounters of the "Old Diao Group" after entering Taicheng No. 1 Senior High School as speculation that they have broken into the dream of "Zhuang Sheng" It is well-founded and the possibility is quite high.

Shang Jianyao's expression gradually became excited:

"'Zhuang Sheng's' dream has its own rules. Those who do not comply with the rules will be forcibly transformed and implanted with corresponding thinking, so that they can have a suitable identity in the daily life of Taicheng No. 1 Senior High School in the old world. Let the dream The story of the theater can be continued.

"As for silicon-based people like Lao Ge, being in a loophole in the rules of dreams is equivalent to jumping out of the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements..."

Although the statement is very mysterious, it seems to be the truth... Jiang Baimian nodded gently and said to Gnawa:

"Just in case, Lao Ge, please bring Xiao Hong and Xiao Bai out as soon as possible..."

As she spoke, her expression suddenly became strange.

Honest Gnawa sincerely recommends:

"Go if it's convenient."

"..." Jiang Baimian rubbed his head, "How did you bring me out?"

"It's a long story." Shang Jianyao, who loves to joke, replied before Gnawa could. "Anyway, drink more water."

Jiang Baimian's eyes moved slightly, vaguely guessing what happened to him.

She secretly grinded her teeth:

"Lao Ge, please go to school. Don't waste time. The specific plan will be as you made before. By the way, use less diuretic drugs. Their physical fitness is not as good as mine."

When discussing business matters, she was frank and did not hold back.

When Gennava entered Taicheng No. 1 Senior High School again and walked straight towards the teaching building in front of him, Shang Jianyao suddenly jumped back, several feet away.

"Am I such a stingy person?" Jiang Baimian rolled his eyes at him, "I still understand the principle of obeying authority in emergencies. You watch, I will solve it."

She ran towards a nearby abandoned building with small but quick steps.

"Wait a minute!" Shang Jianyao shouted.

"What?" Jiang Baimian looked like "If you can't give me a good reason, I'll beat you to death."

Shang Jianyao explained seriously:

"According to the team's tactical rules, one cannot act alone in the ruins of the city unless under special circumstances."

Jiang Baimian breathed out slowly:

"I was too hasty.

"Well... I'll find a place nearby and you'll be on guard."

What followed went quite smoothly. Gnawa followed the predetermined plan and took Bai Chen and Long Yuehong out of Taicheng No. 1 Senior High School one after another, and tried to wake them up.

"It turns out that I broke into 'Zhuang Sheng's' dream." Bai Chen was convinced of Jiang Baimian's guess.

She felt that was it.

Long Yuehong next to her remained silent.

Seeing this, Shang Jianyao waved his hand in front of his eyes:

"What are you thinking about?

"Still think you are that student?"

When Jiang Baimian heard this, his expression became a little more solemn, because if normal people cannot completely get rid of the implanted set of thoughts, they will be confused about "Did Zhuang Sheng dreamed of butterflies, or did the butterflies dream of Zhuang Sheng?" In the long run, they will definitely suffer from mental illness. disease.

Long Yuehong shook her head, glanced at Bai Chen quietly and said:

"I was just thinking, how great it would be if I knew Xiaobai in high school and studied with her..."

Jiang Baimian opened his mouth slightly, and a thought flashed through his mind:

Have I really done something bad recently and deserve to be punished like this?

"Woof woof woof." Shang Jianyao responded expressionlessly.

"That is not necessarily a good thing. Only when you meet the right person at the right time can you have a good follow-up. Meeting too early or meeting too late may lead to tragedy." The honest Gnawa pointed out Long Yuehong's wrong.

Cough, Long Yuehong couldn't help coughing.

Bai Chen looked at Taicheng No. 1 Senior High School in the distance and said:

"The problem now is how to solve the anomalies in this Buddhist holy land."

"Then we must first figure out why this place is shrouded in 'Zhuang Sheng's' dream." Long Yuehong quickly agreed.

Jiang Baimian thought and said:

"The 'Crystal Consciousness Sect' has said that the five holy places of Buddhism are related to Bodhi and the Tathagata. Some are the places where they passed away, some are where they came into the world, and some are where they taught the Dharma in the ancient times of the old world.

"What kind of school does Taicheng No. 1 Senior High School belong to?"

Bang, Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and hit his left palm:

"I understand, the abnormality here can form substance. The reason why it is obviously stronger than other Buddhist holy places is that it is three-in-one!"

"What is three-in-one?" Long Yuehong asked doubtfully.

Shang Jianyao explained proudly:

"This is not only the place where Zhuang Sheng came into the world, but also the place where he passed away and where he taught the Dharma."

"Such a high school is barely related to the place where the Dharma lectures are held." Long Yuehong thought for a moment and expressed her objection.

Shang Jian Yao explained earnestly:

"Haven't you read the news in the entertainment materials of the old world?

“Students give birth in toilets, teachers spread extremist ideas, and some people are too stressed and jump off a building to commit suicide. Doesn’t this correspond to the place of birth, the place where the Dharma is taught, and the place of death?

"Uh, why did you all take two steps back?"

Aren't you worried that when "Zhuang Sheng" strikes you with lightning, it will affect us? Jiang Baimian cleared his throat and said:

"Maybe after 'Zhuang Sheng' came to this world, he studied in this high school or worked as a teacher, so the original scene replayed in his dream."

Dang dang, this time it was Gnawa who applauded.

At this time, Shang Jianyao added sadly:

"There is another possibility.

"Since 'Zhuang Sheng' came to this world, he must have visited many places. Why did he dream of being here alone?

"Maybe His body is buried somewhere in this high school."

Hiss... Long Yuehong's heart palpitated and she was inexplicably scared.

He swallowed and said:

"Why don't you come here again later? It looks very dangerous?"

In order to show that he was not simply timid, he quickly added:

"The purpose of our investigation into the five holy places of Buddhism is to find out the reasons for the destruction of the old world and the origin of 'Wuxin Disease'. It is not about cracking anomalies and destroying targets. We cannot put the cart before the horse."

"That makes sense." Jiang Baimian smiled and said, "But if we don't crack the anomaly, how can we figure out what happened in the old world? Don't worry, we will take it step by step. I really feel that it involves the secret of Zhi Sui and I can't deal with it. Just stop immediately and come back later when you are capable."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shang Jianyao rubbed his chin:

"When we were in Wubei, a certain being tried his best to let us get nuclear warheads. Doesn't he just want us to blow up this place?"

The nuclear bomb does not need to be taken inside, it can destroy the entire Taicheng No. 1 High School just by placing it at the door.

"Maybe." Bai Chen nodded lightly.

Several members of the "Old Tune Group" fell into silence.

After a few seconds, Jiang Baimian suddenly smiled and said:

"First we have to get the nuclear warhead back and then we can talk about the rest."

Their jeep is still parked in Taicheng No. 1 Senior High School. Once the carbon-based people enter, they will be lost, while the silicon-based people will be affected by the "dream" once inside and cannot find the vehicle.

Glancing at the Jeep parked not far behind the electric retractable door, Jiang Baimian considered and said:

"Lao Ge, Xiao Hong, you think of a way to launch iron claws and suction cups in, and use ropes to forcefully drag the car out."

The core of this plan is that I will not enter Taicheng No. 1 Senior High School.

After some attempts, Gnawa and Long Yuehong dragged Jeep out of the campus.

everything is normal.

Jiang Baimian nodded slightly:

"It seems that as long as you follow the rules, you can do something in this 'dream'."

The action just now was not only to "rescue" the group's jeep, but also to verify some of her guesses.

She then said seriously to Gnawa:

“Lao Ge, we can’t go in for the time being, and we’ll be in trouble for you next.

"You need to do two things:

"One, go to the principal's or dean's office, turn on their computer, scan and memorize the information of all students and teachers. Since you can touch us and slap us on the back, you can theoretically use the computer.

"Two, if you really can't control the computer, then use water milling skills, check classroom by classroom, office by office, and remember the appearance and name of every student, teacher, and school worker. Well, later It can be found in workbooks, employee ID cards, documents requiring signatures, etc.”

As an intelligent robot, Gnawa's "remembering" is equivalent to taking a photo and taking a photo.

After giving instructions to Gennava, Jiang Baimian looked around and said:

"Then, we compared the names previously collected in Buddhist holy places to see if there are any overlaps."

This includes but is not limited to the names in the employee column of Tieshan Second Food Company and the names of participants in academic lectures at Home Reproductive Treatment Center.

Once there is a coincidence, it means that the corresponding person may be the "Zhuang Sheng" who symbolizes the whole year.
