Embers Ad Infinitum

"'Truth' is not Zhi Sui!" Shang Jianyao was not surprised at all and retorted on the spot.

Liu Chuan turned his head and looked at this guy angrily.

Shang Jianyao showed no sign of weakness, and the silvery-white electric light lit up in his eyes.

After the two looked at each other for a few seconds, Liu Chuan seemed to be unable to bear it and slowly looked away.

"You can't do it!" Shang Jianyao said something.

This behavior that added fuel to the fire made Liu Chuan suddenly turn his attention to him again.

At this moment, all the lights in the basement flashed at the same time, and soon they were as bright as little suns.

"My eyes!" Shang Jianyao shouted, raising his hands to cover his face.

Other "New World" strong men had similar reactions. They either covered their eyes with their hands or lowered their eyelids, not daring to look directly at such a bright light.

After a brief burst, the light returned to normal, and a low and vague male voice sounded in the ears of Shang Jianyao and others at the same time, as if coming from another world:

"Everyone, the unrest is about to begin."

Shang Jianyao opened his eyes and saw a tall black shadow floating on the left wall of the basement, but there was no one around him.

"Are you the 'truth'?" He interrupted Black Shadow's speech without any awe.

"Black Shadow" was silent for a while and said:

"I am."

Shang Jianyao said "oh" and didn't interrupt again.

He looked around and found that Liu Chuan and another person lowered their heads and acted extremely respectfully. Although Flora, Barnard and others were not so exaggerated, they also showed enough respect.

They all looked attentive.

The tall and thin "black shadow" shook on the wall and said:

"When the signs of unrest appear, you will unite and head to the tower, without wasting time on the way.

"Facing the lackeys of 'Charlie' and 'Professor Li', if we can't solve it quickly, some people will be left to struggle with them, and the rest will continue to move forward.

"When the time comes, I will help you open the door of the tower. After you enter, you only need to destroy the core facilities there to see the passage back to the dust.

"The power of the leaders echoes in the tower, which will bring you great danger, but this is also your only chance.

"If you don't take advantage of the turmoil to distract us, you will never be able to escape from here!

"Everyone, just wait patiently here for signs of unrest."

As soon as "Truth" finished speaking, Shang Jianyao immediately raised his right hand:

"I have a question.

"Why can't we be distracted during times of turmoil?"

The "black shadow" didn't answer him, because after saying those words, it expanded rapidly, got bigger and bigger, and disappeared into the basement.

Seeing this, Shang Jianyao said with a disappointed look on his face:

"Run so fast!

"It's like us people are savage beasts."

Liu Chuan glanced sideways at him, but said nothing.

Shang Jianyao didn't look at his face at all, and asked again:

"What are the signs of unrest?"

At this stage, Liu Chuan had nothing to hide and said calmly:

"The 'New World' will experience significant upheaval at irregular intervals.

"This starts from the towers and spreads outward, including earthquakes, storms, house collapses, etc."

"Not fixed? Then how do you know there will be unrest recently?" Shang Jianyao asked without understanding.

Liu Chuan took a breath quietly and said:

"This is the message of great 'truth' coming from the tower, and it's accurate every time."

"Okay." Shang Jianyao had an expression of "I barely believe you."

Then, he brought the topic back to just now:

"Why doesn't 'Truth' stay and answer a few of our questions?

"We are about to do something so important, so critical, and so dangerous. Everyone is very nervous. There must be many problems."

I can't see why you are uneasy at all... Liu Chuan saw several "New World" powerhouses nearby who understood the Gray dialect nodded slightly, agreed with Shang Jianyao's statement, and explained hurriedly and calmly:

"A great being doesn't care about these little things and won't respond to doubts."

"Who said that?" Shang Jianyao immediately retorted, "Whenever I prayed to Zhi Sui in the past, Zhi Sui would always answer."

"How did you answer?" Liu Chuan's expression tightened.

Including Flora and Barnard, some powerful people from the "New World" cast their sights.

Although it is common for Zhi Sui to answer the prayers and questions of believers, which is generally called issuing oracles, the people in the basement are currently planning to resist the tower and try to escape. After hearing the two words "Zhi Sui" This word is inevitably a bit frightening.

Shang Jianyao "zhengse" said:

"Although they didn't speak, I could understand their meaning clearly."

"What do you mean?" Liu Chuan asked.

Shang Jianyao replied "seriously":

"Let me go."

Now he is the joker.

"..." If Liu Chuan hadn't paid the price of "weak character", he would definitely punch Shang Jianyao in the face now.

…………

"Pangu Creatures", Room 14 on the 647th floor.

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen were sitting in the office of the "Old Tune Group", looking a little idle.

Of course, this is only on the surface. In fact, they are all racking their brains to consider some issues.

"We'd better practice every two days to maintain a good physical and mental state." Long Yuehong said proactively.

And his subtext was that if he didn't do this, he might not be able to receive the telegrams sent back by Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao through Gnawa in time.

In that case, the two people in the underground building might miss the best opportunity.

Of course, Jiang Baimian had considered this issue when formulating the plan for separate operations before, and believed that he could not place his hopes entirely on telegraph communication. There would be too many setbacks and he would not be able to respond in a timely manner.

Another channel for transmitting information is the voice recorder.

The principle is that after Shang Jianyao enters the "new world", he can complete his positioning through his own body and the breath and strength remaining outside.

In other words, he should be able to let the recorder play by itself under his control like Xiao Chong and Wu Meng to remind his teammates.

But it takes a certain amount of time to break through the barrier of the "new world", transmit power, and give out thoughts. There is an obvious delay, which is incomparable to the speed of making the body incontinent.

And put together with the telegram, this was timely enough, delaying it for at most ten minutes, so that Long Yuehong and Bai Chen would not miss the opportunity.

However, there are some unknowns. Jiang Baimian does not know where Wu Meng's level is. He cannot be sure that Shang Jianyao will be able to do the same thing after entering the "new world".

Therefore, Long Yuehong did not dare to ignore the two information channels of telegraph and voice recorder.

"Okay." Bai Chen nodded, "I'll report to Vice Minister Xi Yu."

Long Yuehong then looked at the computer and phone on the team leader's desk and sighed sincerely:

"Actually, we are no longer members of the 'Old Tune Group'..."

He and Bai Chen were closer to the back office positions.

"As long as the group has not been disbanded, it will always be." Bai Chen replied solemnly.

…………

The Eighth Research Institute, behind the tunnel gate.

Jiang Baimian was wearing a military exoskeleton device, sitting with his back against the wall, closing his eyes and recuperating.

She had just given Shang Jianyao a nutritional injection, and she planned to take the time to rest and wait for the turmoil in the "new world" to begin.

At that time, she will try to enter the mysterious building in the core area of ​​the real "New World".

The illusion it manifests outside is the tower!

…………

"New World", in the basement of that special building.

While Shang Jianyao was chatting with Flora, Barnard and others, he suddenly said "Oops":

"Oops, I forgot something!"

"What's going on?" Flora, who was sitting on the chair, asked with concern.

Standing there, Shang Jianyao replied:

"Before the turmoil starts, I still have some things to deal with and some friends to notify!"

For example, he also wanted to go to the dusty courtyard and have a chat with the woman crying in the dark to see if the turmoil could inspire corresponding changes and make her say more things, such as , go to the place where Yan Hu and others are imprisoned, remind them that the turmoil is about to begin, and carefully imprison them to take the opportunity to do something, for example, ask Jacob and other friendly people to see if they also want to escape the "new world"...

"This matter is strictly confidential." Liu Chuan emphasized after hearing Shang Jianyao's words.

Barnard explained shakily:

“There is a group of people who choose to obey the management of the tower and want to exchange this method for the right to return to the dust frequently, and lackeys like ‘Vice Dean’ and ‘Charlie’ also have followers.

"If the news spreads that we want to take advantage of this turmoil to do something, the difficulty of the matter will skyrocket, and we may even suffer divine punishment from the law enforcement officials before the turmoil begins."

"Oh..." Shang Jianyao glanced around with some disappointment.

Seeing that everyone who could understand the conversation just now expressed objections, he had no choice but to say in dismay:

"All right."

The next second, his mind jumped and asked about another thing:

"What kind of punishment will there be for passing on the secrets here to the outside world, and from whom?"
