Embers Ad Infinitum

Regarding how to hold back the owner of the "virtual world", Kang Na did not elaborate, and it was difficult for Jiang Baimian to ask. After all, the other party's secrets might be involved.

She chose to believe in this awakened person at the "soul corridor" level, and she chose to believe in the "Pangu creature" who asked her and others to come to find Kangna.

At least the company believes that Kangna can fight against the master of the "virtual world". Maybe there is a certain degree of restraint in her abilities and characteristics... Jiang Baimian said to himself in his heart.

Obviously, there is a high probability that the people responsible for protecting Avia and Marcus are not awakened at the same "soul corridor" level, but both have the ability to "virtual world". Otherwise, given the daily arrangements of Avia and Marcus, , a single person will definitely be too busy. On the one hand, this is a matter of energy, and on the other hand, the coverage of the ability is limited. He cannot directly affect the entire city, or even one district.

Jiang Baimian replaced himself as a senior member of the Mirror Sect, believing that there were three to five "soul corridor" level awakeners who also controlled the "virtual world" and took turns guarding Marcus and Avia.

Otherwise, it is completely unrealistic for an awakened person at the "soul corridor" level to protect Avia or Marcus 24 hours a day without rest.

There may be no problem in doing this for a week or even a month, but the duration of this task must be ten years. No human being can persevere with such high intensity as long as he is not in power.

Moreover, they have already entered the "soul corridor" and mastered the "virtual world". No matter where they are in the dust, they can be called strong and high-level. They deserve to enjoy it, but in the end, they have to work all year round until they die. No one would want to work on the ground.

——The "death" of "until death" can refer to the death of the owner of the "virtual world", or the death of Avia or Marcus.

Therefore, Jiang Baimian knew that he could not simply put the cost of the "claustrophobia" he had mastered before on Avia's protector.

Who knows if he is an awakened person at the same "soul corridor" level!

And for different awakened people, even if one or even two of them have the same ability, the cost may not be the same.

Unless the "Old Tune Team" is really lucky, and it happens that the awakened person from the previous "Soul Corridor" level is responsible for protecting Aviya today, and can rely on the "Blind Ring" to find a way to scare the opponent away, otherwise it will still have to rely more on Connor's help.

Bang bang bang, Shang Jianyao applauded Kang Na's words.

Kangna glanced at him:

"Why are you applauding?"

"You said it very well." Shang Jianyao replied sincerely, "And I think we are friends."

Kangna smiled and walked towards the door:

"Hurry up and get there. If the commotion over the Senate ends and we haven't arrived at Yuanqiu Street, it will be a joke."

No. 14 Yuanqiu Street is where Avia lives.

"Are you going there by yourself or taking our car?" Jiang Baimian asked carefully as he caught up.

Kang Na asked funnyly:

"Do you want me to run over by myself?

"I can barely levitate myself, but not enough to fly."

She is friendly in speech and shows no airs at all. She looks nothing like an awakened person at the level of "Soul Corridor". She is closer to a sister who is only a few years older than the members of the "Old Tune Group".

Uh... Her basic ability is to interfere with matter, and she can affect the air and her own body to a lesser extent? Jiang Baimian instantly deduced this important information from Kang Na's words.

What surprised her even more was that Kang Na said it so casually,

There was no need to explain this, even if both parties were employees of "Pangu Biology".

Jiang Baimian had to suspect that this was either Kangna's character or some manifestation of the price she paid.

"Haha, I haven't had such a happy chat in a long time. In the First City, I can't share many things with the people around me. The risk is too great." Kangna added like a superfluous sentence.

There is no need to explain, explanation is just a cover-up... With Long Yuehong's slowness in this regard, she also noticed a problem.

"Yeah, it's really frustrating to have no one to share with." Shang Jianyao felt the same way.

A group of five people quickly left the garden villa at No. 15 Emperor Street and got into the military green Jeep of the "Old Tune Team".

To show respect, Jiang Baimian gave up the passenger seat to Kangna and squeezed Shang Jianyao into the middle of the back row.

As the vehicle started and drove towards Yuanqiu Street, Jiang Baimian's heart moved and he asked:

"Ms. Kangna, your father seems to have a big say in the medical and biological fields of the 'First City'?"

As the military's representative in these areas, Conner's father Meyers had already become a veteran.

"Yes." Kangna did not deny it.

Jiang Baimian immediately asked:

"Then do you know the specific biochemical experiments that the military conducted in, uh, a certain town in the North Amherford area?"

Kangna laughed:

"The company asked me about it, but I don't know much about it. I just heard my father mentioned it once or twice, and it seemed to involve the directional induction of distortion."

This is indeed one of the most important cutting-edge projects in the biological field... Jiang Baimian did not continue the topic. While paying attention to the surrounding buildings and the no longer so strict but very solemn checkpoints, he asked casually :

"Ms. Kangna, how did you wake up naturally?"

"Just like that, suddenly one day, I entered the 'Hall of Stars' while sleeping." Kangna replied in a relaxed tone.

She then smiled:

"But I don't know if it's really a natural awakening. Maybe the company has added certain elements to daily life for experiments, like some weird eye exercises or radio gymnastics."

She did find this strange.

Shang Jianyao agreed:

"Some religions have listed them as their own rituals."

According to this logic, how many awakened people are there per capita in some countries in the old world? Hey, even if eye exercises and radio gymnastics are really helpful for awakening, the applicable people definitely do not include me... It has been many years and I still haven't awakened... Jiang Baimian sighed in his heart.

Long Yuehong doesn't think that eye exercises and radio gymnastics are of any help to awakening.

Let alone awakening, they have not played much role in their own work.

I grew up to be tall, but my height was still average. I relied on genetic modification to prevent myopia from becoming nearsighted!

Bai Chen, who was driving the jeep, stared ahead, keeping the speed neither too fast nor too slow, so as not to arouse suspicion from some people.

When Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, Shang Jianyao and Kangna were talking, she showed a thoughtful expression.

Not long after, the vehicle drove into Yuanqiu Street and approached the classically styled building at No. 14.

Looking at the houses supported by stone pillars, entwined with green vines, and with extremely exaggerated doors, Jiang Baimian and others' expressions became serious.

At this time, Kangna said:

"Stop first."

Bai Chen didn't ask why, he lowered his speed and parked the jeep on the side of the road.

After Kangna pushed the door open and walked out, she turned to several members of the "Old Tune Team" and said:

"Look at my gestures later. If I raise my right thumb, you will go in to find Aviya. If I raise my left index and middle fingers, you will find a way to cooperate with me to deal with the owner of the 'virtual world'."

"Okay." Jiang Baimian was not verbose at all.

Then, they saw Kangna walking towards Aviya's home openly, without concealing her presence at all.

"Is this a duel?" Shang Jianyao was a little excited.

"Don't worry about this for now, Xiaohong, Xiaobai, put on the military exoskeleton device." Jiang Baimian gave the order.

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly saw a window open on the third floor of Aviya's classic villa.

Behind the window is an old lady wearing a black hat and dark robes in summer. She has blue eyes, very light makeup, and her clothes and accessories are quite exquisite.

As soon as she saw Kangna, the old lady smiled, raised her right hand and said hello.

Kangna smiled back, then her body suddenly became lighter, and wrapped in the wind, she "walked" toward the window as if floating.

"Do you want coffee or tea?" the old lady turned sideways and asked friendly.

"I prefer tea, and don't put weird things like lemon slices and syrup." Kangna first settled on the window, then floated into the room and found a single sofa to sit down.

The old lady immediately ordered the servants to prepare tea and snacks. She sat on the easy chair opposite Kangna and started chatting with her.

They act like a pair of good friends who have known each other for a long time.

During this process, Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and Shang Jianyao all felt that their surroundings had become relaxed and clear, and they and others seemed to have finally surfaced.

This made them suspect that the old lady was the "soul corridor" level awakener who protected Avia.

Long Yuehong was wearing a military exoskeleton device outside the jeep. When he saw this scene, he thought a war would break out. His eyes widened and he blurted out:

"Actually, we have already penetrated into the Mirror Cult?

"The owner of this 'virtual world' is from the company?"

That’s why I had a happy conversation with Ms. Kang Na and stopped maintaining the “virtual world”?

Jiang Baimian turned sideways and looked at Shang Jianyao:

“Look at people, they’ve made ‘friends’ without doing anything!”

Based on Kangna's previous words, she suspected that the current situation was the result of some kind of ability.

Shang Jianyao responded with a longing look:

"I can't quite understand it, but I think it's very strong."

At this time, Kangna adjusted her sitting posture, raised her right arm, and quietly gave a thumbs up.

Jiang Baimian and others immediately tensed up.

Next, it’s up to them.
