Chapter 82 Good Teacher (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
Seeing Jiang Baimian and others looking over, Du Heng pointed to the shadow of the tree in front of him and said in a soft voice:
"Don't move much, wait for this wave of abnormalities to pass."
At this moment, in the ruins of the entire city, the roars came one after another, and there was no subside.
Jiang Baimian stared at Du Heng for a few seconds and nodded to Long Yuehong and the others.
Before she could move, Shang Jianyao had already jumped next to Du Heng and squatted down very naturally.
This scene made Long Yuehong inexplicably familiar, as if she had returned to the inside of the "Pangu Creature" - whenever she had dinner, at the door of the "Activity Center", there were often people squatting and chatting like this.
Jiang Baimian was still a little hesitant, but it didn't matter when she saw this, she squatted aside, looked around, and said sincerely:
"Thank you for saving us just now."
"I can't talk about saving, I just let you return to normal in advance. As long as you are not attacked before the abnormality subsides, you will be able to recover sooner or later." Du Heng responded with a smile.
"This must be a salvation." Jiang Baimian pretended to be inadvertently emotional, "You are not affected by that fear at all."
At this time, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong also squatted in the shadows, each holding weapons and guarding in different directions.
Hearing Jiang Baimian's emotion, Du Heng laughed:
"I, an antiquarian and historical researcher who works alone most of the time, have no support, how can I live until now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Jianyao asked abruptly:
"Are you actually an awakened person?"
Du Heng glanced at him and smiled not too carefully:
"Strictly speaking, it is indeed counted."
"Then what should I do after entering the 'Sea of Origin'?" Shang Jianyao was very direct, and he had no worries about the current situation being wrong.
Du Heng smiled:
"Under normal circumstances, unless there is a very good relationship, no awakened person will tell others about this knowledge.
"But, hehe, I have always had a bad problem: people's troubles are good teachers.
"Okay, then I'll talk about it briefly:
"When you enter the 'Sea of Origin', you will encounter various 'islands' for you to rest, and there will be different monsters and different bad situations on the 'islands' that you need to face and overcome.
"They often correspond to the fears that lurk within you, or some kind of memory from the past."
Speaking of this, Du Heng explained from the beginning:
"Based on my personal experience and guesses, my personal guess does not mean that it is correct:
"The power of the awakened comes from the mind, from one's own consciousness, and the so-called 'Hall of Stars' and 'Sea of Origin' are just a concrete manifestation of the subconscious.
"We are moving forward all the way, and the essence is to tap into our inner strength, which requires overcoming all kinds of shadows in the soul."
Shang Jianyao politely waited until Du Heng finished speaking before asking:
"Why does every Awakened see the same 'Hall of Stars'?"
Du Heng's whole face seemed to wrinkle, and he said with a wry smile:
"This is my test, I really can't explain this.
"But I've heard some speculations:
"First, similar scenes are hidden in our subconscious, which are the common memory of mankind, and are some experiences of our common ancestors in an era older than the old world;
"The second is that the awakened are the apostles of the gods, the people who have received divine grace, and the thirteen deacons have jointly created the 'Hall of Stars' and other places to help their relatives grow up until they enter the new world. This can be roughly divided into thirteen categories from the abilities of awakened people, corresponding to the fields of different years, and generate certain associations.
"Therefore, in those religions that believe in the Year of Age, the proportion of awakened people is higher than that of other groups, of course, it is not too high, and the number is still limited."
Jiang Baimian listened very seriously, nodded lightly and said:
"Perhaps many awakened people think that their abilities come from God and take the initiative to join different religions, which leads to a higher proportion."
Instead of favoring those who believe in themselves, let them awaken more.
"Without investigation or experimentation, I cannot give you a definite answer." Du Heng sighed and said, "It's a pity that the old world has been destroyed for nearly seventy years, and there have been large-scale wars that have lasted for almost twenty or thirty years, resulting in many things that cannot be traced. This is the responsibility of our historical researchers."
Jiang Baimian felt the same way:
"Yes, this is also the driving force that drives me forward."
Du Heng didn't say anything more about this matter and continued the topic just now:
"From the 'Hall of Stars' to the 'Sea of Origins', what is needed is to dig deep and master your own abilities."
He paused, glanced at Shang Jianyao, and said with a smile:
"At this step, you should be almost done, otherwise you wouldn't have asked the question just now.
"When you enter the 'Sea of Origin' and defeat all the shadows in your heart, you have the opportunity to find yourself, accept Him, accept Him, and your mind will be replenished by it.
"This will qualitatively change your abilities, whether it is the boundary of the effect or the range of influence, it will be improved.
"However, in the process, the price you pay will deepen step by step, making your problem more serious.
"It's still the old saying, there is no free lunch."
Speaking of this, Du Heng kindly reminded:
"For every awakened person, what price they pay needs to be kept secret.
"On the one hand, the cost itself is a weakness and can be easily exploited and targeted, on the other hand, different costs will vaguely map different fields, allowing familiar people to have a preliminary guess about your abilities, and in battles between awakened people, it is very dangerous to be known in advance about the characteristics of abilities."
Shang Jianyao listened quietly and nodded seriously:
"Thank you."
Jiang Baimian glanced at him and smiled slightly:
"I thought you would applaud."
At this time, their surroundings were very quiet, and it seemed that as Du Heng said, as long as they didn't move much and didn't stand in a conspicuous place, they would not be targeted by "abnormalities".
"Thank you goes further than applause." Shang Jianyao explained sincerely.
Du Heng laughed silently:
"When you find yourself, you can cross the 'Sea of Origin' and enter the 'Spiritual Corridor' at that time.
"Okay, I've talked so much, should you give me some information?"
Shang Jianyao didn't answer directly, and looked sideways at Jiang Baimian.
"What do you want to know?" Jiang Baimian asked.
Du Heng looked around and took out a yellowed photo:
"Have you ever seen this child?
"His name is Xiao Chong."
In the photo, the little boy has a fleshy face and is wearing a monster costume, which looks very cute.
He was the Xiao Chong that Shang Jianyao and the others had just met!
Xiaochong ...... Hearing this name, Long Yuehong felt a tingling sensation in her scalp.
He didn't expect Du Heng to enter the ruins to find someone.
And what I was looking for was the unusually weird boy Xiao Chong!
Jiang Baimian couldn't help but purse his lips, turned his head and pointed to the position just now and said:
"We met near the underground computer room, and he came out with us, saying that he was looking for someone to play games with him.
"But after we came out, he used the excuse of urinating and disappeared."
Du Heng nodded slightly with a solemn expression:
"That's right......"
"Why are you looking for Xiao Chong?" Shang Jianyao took his gaze back from his position just now.
Du Heng smiled dumbly:
"This involves a lot of important information, and you definitely can't pay for it now.
"When we have the opportunity to meet again in the future, and you have other key news or clues, we will trade."
Seeing that Du Heng obviously didn't want to say anything, Jiang Baimian said to Shang Jianyao:
"What else do you want to ask?"
Du Heng said before Shang Jianyao could speak:
"Regarding the 'Spiritual Corridor', let's talk about it when you really enter, and I can't understand it now."
Shang Jianyao thought for a while, and then asked:
"Have you heard of the Eighth Research Institute?"
Du Heng was a little surprised:
"Have you met its commissioner?"
Seeing Jiang Baimian and others nodding, he thought and said:
"The Eighth Research Institute is a very mysterious organization, basically does not have contact with other forces, and seems to be self-sufficient, but occasionally smuggles some special items through merchants.
"But their correspondents often show up in the dust and don't know what mission they are performing."
Speaking of this, Du Heng paused:
"For this organization, everyone thinks that it is a legacy of the old world, some people think they are collecting all kinds of information to build a new world, some people suspect that they are destroying clues and burying the real reason for the destruction of the old world.
"That's all I know."
After hearing this, Shang Jianyao suddenly asked:
"In which field?"
"Your thinking is very jumpy." Du Heng joked, and replied thoughtfully, "It should be the 'supervisor' in charge of May."
Without waiting for Shang Jianyao and others to speak, Du Heng took the lead and said:
"Is it my turn to ask?"
Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao nodded 'well'.
"Which big force are you from?" Du Heng asked confidently.
Jiang Baimian replied calmly:
"Pangu creature."
"Pangu creature...... I met your project team in the ice field, and I pulled a team of volunteers to do experiments on the impact of the cold environment on human physique and spirit.
Jiang Baimian was ashamed for a while:
"At least take care of your fill."
"Yes." Du Heng nodded.
He was about to continue asking questions when he suddenly saw the surrounding buildings lit up layer by layer.
The entire city is in ruins, at least half of the buildings emit light in different states at the same time, lighting up window after window.
The darkness and dead silence that enveloped this place quickly receded to the edge of the ruins.
Power supply to the entire city has been restored.
This is the first time that Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong and others have seen such a picture, as if they have witnessed the galaxy in the textbook being moved to the surface.
For Jiang Baimian, the shock brought to her by the scene in front of her was the same as the feeling she felt when she saw the real starry sky, the real blue sky, and the real sun for the first time.
Du Heng looked at the scene for two seconds appreciatively, stood up, and said to Shang Jianyao and the others:
"The abnormality has subsided, you can climb over the wall and leave here."
