Chapter 800 Another Way

Bai Chen, who was sitting in the back row, said in a guessing tone:

"Maybe there is a strong man from the 'New World' living in seclusion in Weed City. He sleeps all year round and returns occasionally, or someone carrying the corresponding items happens to pass by."

The entire "old tune group" is influenced by old world entertainment materials, and Bai Chen is no exception.

"It is also possible that certain 'New World' nodes can converge their own fluctuations like the Awakened, and only have an impact at a specific time?" Long Yuehong followed.

Jiang Baimian slowly shook his head:

"A large amount of data and our experience have proven that no matter how small a human settlement is, 'unintentional disease' may occur. It is impossible that there are strong people from the 'New World' in those places, and there are also people carrying corresponding items passing by, right?

"In that case, the powerful people of the 'New World' will be too cheap, equivalent to the mayor or village chief. The company doesn't have hundreds or even thousands of people to be embarrassed to call itself a big power?"

"No, no, no, at most it's equivalent to the supervisor of the activity center." Shang Jianyao corrected Jiang Baimian's metaphor.

Then, he rubbed his chin and said:

"There are definitely not many items with the 'New World' node. How many have we encountered in so long?

"The 'New World' node that hides itself is purely a guess. At least we haven't encountered it yet, and we can't imagine the reason why it is true.

"Could the 'New World' node also be considered an intelligent creature?"

"Why not? You are discriminating!" Honest Shang Jianyao retorted to himself.

At this time, Gnawa, who was in charge of driving, had completed an exhaustive enumeration, or in other words, a traversal, and said in a slightly synthetic voice:

"Either the 'unintentional disease' caused by the return of the strong men in the 'New World' randomly occurs in different places, and its essence is some kind of fluctuation, or there are other ways to connect the 'New World', 'people' and 'things' any other way.”

The way that uses "people" as the connection point is the awakened person of the "new world" level, and the way that uses "things" as the connection point is the "new world" nodes of large and small sizes.

"What is it?" Shang Jianyao asked eagerly.

"People" and "things" already include all possibilities, how could there be any other way? Long Yuehong muttered in her heart.

"I don't know either." Gennava moved his metal neck from left to right. "I just analyzed that the connotations and denotations of 'people' and 'things' when put together do not equal the whole story..."

His explanation made Long Yuehong dizzy.

"So that's it." Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and left palm, expressing emotion with an expression of "I completely understand."

Jiang Baimian nodded:

"We have no clues at the moment and can't find the direction of our guess. There's no rush now. We'll talk about it later. It's not too early now. Let's go to Ah Fu's place and let him take us to pay homage to Aunt Nan."

"Okay." Bai Chen was the first to answer.

At three-thirty in the afternoon, on the northern outskirts of Weeda City.

A quiet cemetery is located here, guarded by a team of soldiers.

"If you are buried here, you have to pay an extra fee every year, or you have to spend two days a month here to act as a caretaker." Afu casually introduced the "Old Diao Group" as he walked to a corner of the cemetery.

Winter has passed, and many trees in the cemetery have sprouted new leaves and grown green.

Not long after, Jiang Baimian stopped in front of a cemetery. The words "Tomb of Ren Nan" were engraved on the roughly polished stone tablet.

"There are no photos." Shang Jianyao turned his head and looked at Ah Fu.

Ah Fu sighed and said:

"My sister hasn't had her picture taken for a long time."

He pointed at his neck, meaning that Aunt Nan had not taken a picture since she got rid of her slave status and fled to Weed City.

The first reason is that we don’t want to waste money, and life is not easy for everyone. The second reason is that we are psychologically resistant.

As for the previous ones, they were long lost due to disaster.

Bai Chen didn't say anything, put down the crate he was carrying, and took out the boxes of dishes inside.

Then, she stood up and silently bowed three times.

Seeing this, Shang Jianyao clasped his palms together and sighed:

"All living beings suffer."

Jiang Baimian suddenly turned his head and glanced at him, gradually showing a thoughtful expression.

Soon, she calmed down her expression and bowed three times to Aunt Nan's tombstone.

After completing the ceremony and giving some of the boxed dishes to Ah Fu, the "Old Tune Group" walked outside the cemetery.

"By the way." Ah Fu remembered something, took two quick steps and caught up, "I asked about Teacher An's current residence, and also asked someone to tell her that you were here and wanted to go to her house to meet her."

"Well, where?" Jiang Baimian nodded.

Ah Fu reported his address, took the dishes he was assigned, and walked to the car belonging to the gun shop alone.

After sitting back in the Jeep, Jiang Baimian held the passenger door with one hand and suddenly said:

“I thought of a way to connect to the ‘new world’ that is different from ‘people’ and ‘things’.

"Well, this is still just a guess, there is no evidence yet."

"What method?" Shang Jianyao, who was in charge of driving, and Long Yuehong, who was in the back seat, asked in unison.

Jiang Baimian pondered for a moment and said:

“It’s a way of combining both ‘people’ and ‘things’.

“Let’s first clarify a premise:

"Are the executives in the 'new world'?"

"That's for sure." Long Yuehong answered extremely confidently.

Shang Jianyao suddenly looked horrified:

"It's over. The senior executives are all walking on dust, like Xiao Chong."

"But no matter what, the vast majority of Zhi Sui should be in the 'New World'." Bai Chen helped Long Yuehong fill in the loopholes in the previous sentence.

Jiang Baimian didn't pay attention to this little argument and said to himself:

"So, is humankind's belief in the new year a way to connect to the 'new world'?

"It has been almost seventy years since the destruction of the old world. One thing I can't understand is why, with wars and inconvenient transportation everywhere, the rumors of the Thirteen Year Olds are so unified. Most people in the Gray Earth understand it. No matter how remote, secluded or small the settlement is, there are still some people who know the existence of certain officials and treat them with a certain degree of trust."

Long Yuehong wanted to say, "There is no such situation within the company, and no one knows about Zhi Sui's existence." But after thinking about it carefully, she found that this was completely untrue:

Not to mention the expatriate employees of the Ministry of Security’s understanding of some Zhi Sui, not to mention the "Life Ritual" and other religious groups that have been secretly developed long ago, not to mention that board members and "New World" strongmen all believe in Zhi Sui, just the big boss is equal to The fact of "commanding orders" makes the belief of "Pangu Creatures" no different from other settlements.

"This method has a certain possibility." Gnawa gave the results of the analysis.

Shang Jianyao suddenly realized:

"Are the believers who are in charge of the year another kind of domestic animals in captivity?

"Wherever they are, there are invisible 'new world' nodes, causing the spread of 'unintentional diseases'?"

Hearing such words, there was silence in the jeep.

After a few seconds, Gnawa responded:

"It's certainly possible.

"This may be the reason why some leaders clearly don't like it and allow others to develop followers.

"In order to maintain a large number of invisible nodes connected to the dust?"

"What will happen if all these nodes disappear?" Following this idea, Bai Chen raised a question.

Shang Jianyao showed a horrified expression again:

"The disappearance of those nodes means the complete death of most human beings, and the remaining few may no longer be able to maintain the continuation of civilization."

"I mean, what will happen to the senior officials?" Bai Chen hurriedly explained what he really meant.

In fact, everyone except Shang Jianyao understood what she wanted to ask.

"I don't know." The honest Gnawa moved his metal neck from left to right.

Jiang Baimian also shook his head:

“We are not even sure whether faith is another way to connect to the ‘new world’.

"We will have to investigate more carefully later."

She looked sideways at Shang Jianyao and asked:

"Hasn't the owner of room '506' dreamed yet?"

"No." Shang Jianyao said enthusiastically, "I plan to see how long she can last."

…………

Tarnan, Youmeng Hotel.

The proprietress Aino's head dropped a little and almost hit the table.

She suddenly woke up and said to herself with a haggard face:

"Hold on, hold on..."

…………

In the evening, on the fifth floor of a building on Yecao City South Street.

The "Old Tune Team" came to the place where An Ruxiang rented and knocked on the door.

They waited for a while before the door opened back.

An Ruxiang was wearing a woman's dark jacket, with a blue-black tattoo vaguely exposed at the base of her neck, and her face remained expressionless.

"I thought you would come here tomorrow." She stepped out of the way and said calmly.

The place she lives in is pretty good, with half a bedroom and half a living room, with a kitchen attached. Only the bathroom is shared and you need to go to the end of the corridor.

"Wait a moment, I'll cook a few more dishes." An Ruxiang pointed to the kitchen.

"We brought our own food, just heat it up." Shang Jianyao pointed to his tactical backpack.

Then, he walked to the kitchen calmly:

"I'll do it, Xiaohong will help, and you guys can chat."

"It was decided happily!" Jiang Baimian responded before An Ruxiang could be polite.

So, Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao went to the kitchen and got busy. Jiang Baimian, An Ruxiang, and Bai Chen each pulled up a chair and sat down.

"Why do you suddenly want to see me?" An Ruxiang asked.

Jiang Baimian looked around and found a neatly folded blue and white checkered handkerchief and similarly folded paper placed on the bedside table deep in the room. On the coffee table in the living room were several books from the old world. Children's textbook.

She looked away and smiled with a slightly complicated expression:

"This should be the last time we go out on a mission, so I want to meet up with our old friends. Haha, I don't know if there will be another chance in the future."

"Get married, have children, and live a stable life?" An Ruxiang nodded lightly.

"Yes." Jiang Baimian pointed at Bai Chen and then at Long Yuehong at the edge of the kitchen, "They are both married."

An Ruxiang was startled for a moment, her eyes slightly lowered and she said:

"fine."

"It's good. Things in the past will always be let go slowly." Jiang Baimian changed the topic, "You said before that you were a killer. You should have been to many places and met many people, right?"

An Ruxiang is quite calm about this:

“Yes, that’s a bit of knowledge.

"what do you guys wanna ask?"
