Embers Ad Infinitum

Bai Chen's concerns are very reasonable, and this is what Long Yuehong is worried about.

Although it is impossible for "Pangu Biology" to blatantly subject them to memory checks, no one is sure whether there will be hidden verification links for key personnel in private.

Bai Chen and Long Yuehong were able to resist the people responsible for reviewing their memories by recalling "You Gu"'s gaze and "Zhuang Sheng's" dreams from time to time. But first, it was impossible for them not to sleep. As long as they fell asleep, they would not be able to control themselves. Secondly, the confrontation itself has obvious implications. Those who really want to read their memories will be frightened. If something goes wrong, "Pangu Creatures" will definitely pay more attention to it.

"Yes, yes." Long Yuehong did not hide her worries.

"What should I do?" The honest Shang Jianyao was not pushy at all.

Jiang Baimian laughed:

"What do you see me doing?

"I don't have the awakened ability to manipulate memory."

"That's not what your expression says." Honest Shang Jianyao pointed out.

Long Yuehong nodded quietly.

The team leader's expression said "This problem is easy to solve."

Jiang Baimian smiled and said:

“I can’t help it, but that doesn’t mean others can’t.

"Teacher Du Heng has a mysterious identity, rich experience, and is well-informed. He may know how to deal with similar dilemmas."

"Yes!" Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and left palm.

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen nodded one after another.

When there is a big boss who can chase Xiao Chong all over the place, why do you still have to think about it with a frown on your face?

If Teacher Du Heng really has no choice, he should wait for others to consider other strategies.

The "Old Adjustment Team" initially finalized the follow-up action plan, left the rooftop, and returned to the suite.

Du Heng sat on the single sofa, looking leisurely at the relatively clean sky outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned around and asked with a smile:

"How's it going? Have you made a decision?"

As the representative of the "Old Tune Group", Jiang Baimian smiled:

"Teacher Du Heng, we have decided to divide into two teams. One team will follow you to the headquarters of the Eighth Research Institute, and the other team will be busy with other things."

Du Heng nodded slightly, smiled and said:

"Okay, as long as there's a seat for me in the car."

When Shang saw Yao beating the snake with the stick, he immediately helped Jiang Baimian and added:

“But the other team is likely to encounter the awakened ones from the ‘Last Man’ realm. We don’t want some memories to be uncovered, but we can’t do it too obviously to avoid direct confrontation.

"Teacher Du Heng, you are well-informed. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Du Heng thought for a few seconds, then laughed and said:

"This is simple."

Simple... Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen all felt like their eyes were blinded.

They controlled their expressions and listened to Du Heng's story:

“Just attach a status to that part of the memory.

"In this way, when the awakened person in the 'Last Man' realm looks at that part of the memory, his subconscious will be affected and he will directly ignore it and skip over."

Bang bang bang, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands.

Gnawa, pretending to be an ordinary robot, endured no duet.

"But we don't have the ability to attach a separate state to some memories." Jiang Baimian admitted his own shortcomings.

What she meant was that if it's more convenient for you, you might as well "demonstrate" it directly.

"I can help with this." Du Heng said with a smile, "Which part of the memory do you want to add a special status?"

While observing Du Heng's reaction, Jiang Baimian pointed at Long Yuehong and Bai Chen and said:

"That part of the memory related to the mystery of keeping humans in captivity."

Hearing the mystery of Zhi Sui keeping humans in captivity, Du Heng raised his eyelids, as if he was caught in a certain memory.

After more than ten seconds, he returned to normal and nodded to Bai Chen and Long Yuehong:

"Now go through the relevant memories in your mind. Don't miss anything."

It can be seen that he seems to be unable to directly browse or retrieve other people's memories, and requires the other party's active cooperation.

"Okay." Bai Chen didn't hesitate.

She and Long Yuehong started to reminisce about the incident in the "506" room, until they reached the recording pen left by Qin Ke, who called himself Du Heng.

Frankly speaking, Long Yuehong was a little frightened when she recalled the crazy Qin Ke calling himself Du Heng. After all, the person sitting in front of him was also named Du Heng.

Fortunately, Du Heng didn't seem to react to this, or maybe he couldn't read the memory and could only add status to the target, so that the things he was currently recalling had hidden power.

"That's all." At the end of his recollection, Bai Chen said.

Du Heng nodded slightly:

"Okay, no problem."

Ah...Is this good? Why don't I feel anything? Long Yuehong has no sense of completion.

If it were Shang Jianyao who said it was okay, he would definitely think that the other party was playing a prank, but Du Heng has always been very reliable.

"Thank you." Bai Chen chose to believe it.

Long Yuehong then expressed her gratitude.

Jiang Baimian glanced at the sky outside the window:

"Teacher Du Heng, it's noon, let's go out to eat."

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders." Du Heng stood up with a smile.

When he went to the bathroom, Shang Jianyao suddenly said "Ouch".

"What's wrong?" Jiang Baimian frowned slightly.

Shang Jianyao put his palms together:

"I'm familiar with that ability to add special status to some memories!"

"You don't know how." Long Yuehong didn't know where Shang Jianyao was familiar with.

Shang Jianyao smiled and said:

"When I used the 'Fate Communication' to mobilize Professor Qin's memory, I ignored some of the memories. When I entered Cornynmis, I realized something was wrong..."

He had communicated with Gnawa about this at the time, and later informed Jiang Baimian, but no one had connected Du Heng's method with this matter just now.

"Is there someone inside the Eighth Research Institute who has this ability?" Jiang Baimian nodded thoughtfully.

No one can answer this question for her yet.

…………

Two days later, outside Gerstberg.

The Jeep and a dark-colored off-road vehicle of the "Old Tune Team" were parked on the side of the hill.

"I have already reported the matter to the company. The company has no objection. Just go back and tell the truth." Jiang Baimian stood outside the front passenger seat of the jeep and warned Long Yuehong and Bai Chen.

That off-road machine was a new one they bought for Bai Chen, Long Yuehong and Gennava to use when they returned to the Black Marsh Wilderness.

The money came from the valuable materials they brought back from Cornimis. On the way to Cornimis, the "Old Tune Team" consumed a lot of food, leaving some space in the jeep. With the mentality of coming here, I randomly collected some things to sell back to Gerstburg.

"Okay." Bai Chen nodded slowly.

Long Yuehong looked at the dark trunk of the off-road vehicle and suggested:

"Team leader, why don't you bring the 'Chameleon' bionic smart armor with you? Lao Ge is staying in the Black Swamp wilderness, so he probably won't need it."

"No need, the military exoskeleton device is enough." Jiang Baimian smiled, "Lao Ge will be responsible for the middle contact in the future. He may have to rely on the invisibility function of the 'Chameleon' to meet you."

"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao agreed.

Their equipment distribution plan is that the two newer military exoskeleton devices, the nuclear warhead and half of the high-performance batteries will be taken away by Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, and the rest will go to Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and Gena Watt Squad.

——That dark-colored off-road vehicle burns oil.

As for ordinary weapons, whoever usually uses them can hold them.

Jiang Baimian looked back at Du Heng who was sitting in the jeep, and said to Bai Chen, Long Yuehong and Gennava:

"There's no need to talk any more. Let's split up."

Bai Chen pursed his lips and nodded, while Long Yuehong was in a heavy mood.

On the cross-country road, when Long Yuehong waved to Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao and said "goodbye", her emotions suddenly boiled and she added loudly:

"We must see you again!"

Shang Jianyao responded with a bright smile and waved vigorously:

"See you soon!"

Jiang Baimian also smiled and waved his hand.

After watching the familiar jeep drive towards the northern ice field, Bai Chen wiped his eyes and started the vehicle.

…………

On the jeep, Jiang Baimian glanced at the rearview mirror next to the passenger side, smiled and said to Du Heng:

"Teacher Du Heng, we met another man named Du Heng before."

"This name is very common." Du Heng, who was sitting in the back row, didn't care much.

Jiang Baimian stopped, stopped probing, and randomly found some topics to chat with Du Heng and Shang Jianyao.

On the ice sheet, many places were still covered with snow, and areas without snow were extremely muddy. This caused the jeep of the "Old Adjustment Team" to move very slowly, and it did not drive very far until the evening.

Although Du Heng was there, Jiang Baimian was not too worried about encountering other dangers, but the teacher himself was frightening, so she still insisted that someone must be on duty at night, and Du Heng, as a guest, did not have to work hard, she and she could only Shang Jianyao came in turn.

In the early morning, Jiang Baimian started to watch the night, and Shang Jianyao lay in the passenger seat, raised his hand and pinched his temples, and entered the "soul corridor".

This time, after arriving outside the "205" room that represented the "dawn" of the new year, they no longer squatted or argued. They took two steps forward, stretched out their right palms, and grasped the brass handle.

The vermilion door of "205" slowly opened back.
