On the night after another night watch, Shang Jianyao took the elevator and arrived at the 478th floor.
Before this, he and Jiang Baimian had never asked anyone what Xiong Ming looked like, where he most often moved after get off work, and where he lived.
They were worried that their hasty inquiry would run into the hands of a secret member of the "Sacrifice of Life" order, causing unnecessary trouble or excessive reactions.
Shen Du's death is a lesson from the past.
Jiang Baimian therefore suspected that one of the several "order supervisors" at that time was an awakened member of the "Life Sacrifice" order.
Unfortunately, Jingjian Yao "secretly" observed that there was no obvious abnormality in the "Order Supervision Room" on this floor - the price paid in exchange for ability often showed some traces on the surface.
Since there was no focus on finding the scope, Shang Jianyao didn't think about this issue and went straight to the "Activity Center" on the 478th floor, planning to stay here until the news was about to start on the hour.
Like the 495th floor, the "activity center" here is also the liveliest place at night, with people playing cards, chatting, and people gathering to knit sweaters.
Shang Jianyao swept his eyes and didn't find Xiong Ming, whose characteristics were more obvious, so he could only find a corner where there were no people and observe more carefully.
After ten or twenty minutes, his back quietly tightened.
At this time, a man came in from the door.
He looked twenty-five or twenty-six, wearing a well-tailored black tweed top, and his hair was very short, each of which seemed to be facing the ceiling vertically.
His face is quite clean, his beard is only a little light, his facial features are very good, and he has a carved beauty.
This looks like a new generation that has received genetic improvement from the embryo.
However, the man's eyes seemed to have some problems, they were lifeless, as if they were made of wood, fixed there, and difficult to turn to the left and right.
Shang Jianyao stood up and walked over.
"Xiong Ming?" He shouted tentatively.
The man stopped.
He and Shang Jianyao were only slightly staggered, and he could see the other party clearly with a slight movement of his eyes, but he directly turned his head to the side.
"Are you?" The young man indirectly admitted that he was Xiong Ming.
After looking at Xiong Ming, Shang Jianyao felt the abnormality in his eyes more intuitively.
This allowed him to completely determine the identity of the other party.
He glanced left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention here, so he smiled slightly and said:
"I came to find you on a special trip."
"Huh?" Xiong Ming narrowed his eyes.
Shang Jianyao said with a gentle smile:
"Look:
"You have special abilities, and I also have special abilities......"
As soon as he heard this, Xiong Ming's expression sank, and his gaze became extremely dangerous.
At this moment, Shang Jianyao suddenly felt that he couldn't breathe, and his heart was about to refuse to beat.
Keeping his smile on his face, he continued:
"You are a member of a secret organization, and I am also a member of a secret organization.
"So ......"
Xiong Ming's eyes looked at Shang Jianyao motionless for a few seconds, and his expression gradually eased.
He nodded slightly and said:
"It turns out that you are also a dependent of the elder and a believer in the order."
He turned his head to look at the noisy environment and pointed outside with his chin:
"Let's go out for a walk."
"Okay." Shang Jianyao was a little disappointed.
He also thought that the relationship between the two parties was so "close" that the other party would treat him to some pumpkin seeds and drink a bottle of orange-flavored soda.
After leaving the "activity center", the two of them walked to a more secluded corner.
In the white light hanging from the ceiling, Xiong Ming, who was walking slowly with his hands in his pockets, suddenly asked:
"When did you wake up?"
"This year." Shang Jianyao was very calm.
Xiong Ming nodded slightly:
"I was at the beginning of last year."
His expression gradually became solemn:
"Even with the blessing of fate, only one or two can successfully awaken each time, or even none.
"People like us who can awaken are undoubtedly God's favorites, unique and outstanding lives, so I am willing to tell you so much, others are not worthy at all."
Xiong Ming turned his body, pointed to the "activity center" and said:
"Did you see those people?
"I want them to die, and they will die immediately. They are so ordinary, ordinary, stupid, and vulgar, and their only function is to set us off."
Speaking of this, Xiong Ming smiled very faintly and turned his head to Shang Jianyao and said:
"The new world is for a new humanity."
"A Zen master once said the same." Shang Jianyao responded with a smile, "But at least he doesn't have to rely on the labor of ordinary humans, and he won't pee, fart, or poop......"
Xiong Ming frowned:
"Needless to say.
"Machines will eventually replace old humans."
He asked instead:
"Have you entered the 'Sea of Origin'?"
"Just entered." Shang Jianyao didn't hide it at all.
"The talent is not bad." Xiong Ming turned around and continued to walk towards the secluded corner of the street.
The rooms on both sides are closely connected to each other, like small cages for raising pigeons.
Xiong Ming looked around by turning his head and body, raised his chin slightly and said:
"We new humans shouldn't just live in places like this.
"Don't worry, it won't be long before we get back to where we are.
"Above our heads, there is and can only be a master."
Shang Jianyao looked at Xiong Ming's wooden carved eyes for a second, and asked abruptly:
"Your ability is cardiac arrest?"
Xiong Ming didn't answer immediately, and looked at Shang Jianyao deeply for a while.
This made Shang Jianyao's heartbeat seem abnormal.
The feeling of suffocation is like substance.
"Did you guess from Wang Yafei's death?" Xiong Ming finally spoke, breaking the suffocating solidification.
"Obviously, isn't it?" Shang Jianyao smiled and asked rhetorically.
Xiong Ming smiled:
"Actually, I can use a more hidden way, but it's not necessary, it's not worth my effort."
Shang Jianyao nodded, not knowing whether to agree or just click a little.
Then he asked:
"Did the holy master ask you to kill Wang Yafei?"
Xiong Ming said "hmm":
"That person is usually not very good, he likes to let employees lack two pounds, and he likes to put up a small amount of Dong XZ, and wait for you to beg him before selling it to you.
"So, I took on this task.
"In order to kill him, I took sick leave in advance, entered the 'activity center' after breakfast, and stayed at the wall separating the 'supply market'.
"I did this because I heard an employee of the 'Strategy Committee' say what monitors are still working and are still using."
Within "Pangu Bio", the monitoring system is assigned to the "Strategy Committee" to limit the power of the "Order Supervision Department" and avoid imbalance.
"Strategy Committee ......" Shang Jianyao repeated the name.
He remembered that Ren Jie, the "guide" on the 495th floor, was also from the "Strategy Committee".
Xiong Ming didn't care about Shang Jianyao's repetition, and continued:
"When it was around nine o'clock, I heard Wang Yafei's voice, made sure he was next door, and confirmed his exact location.
"Killing him only took a few seconds, very simple.
"It quickly became panicked over there, so I took the opportunity to change my position, away from the wall, and then borrowed a book and went to the cafeteria until noon to eat."
Xiong Ming said in detail, seemingly very proud of the success of this operation, and has always wanted to share it with someone.
After hearing it quietly, Shang Jianyao said with a smile:
"The Order has always claimed that it is divine punishment."
"Isn't this divine punishment?" Xiong Ming tilted his head slightly and said, "Isn't this kind of god-like method worthy of being called divine punishment? Moreover, this itself is carried out by the Divine Guardian himself."
Shang Jianyao thought for a while and asked seriously:
"Is the dance performed by the gods and relatives called the god dance?"
"What are you talking about?" Xiong Ming frowned.
Shang Jianyao didn't explain, but asked instead:
"How many people like us are there?"
"I don't know." Xiong Ming shook his head, "Each holy master has a small number of awakened people, and they may not know each other's existence."
"Every holy master?" Shang Jianyao grasped the point.
Xiong Ming glanced at him in slight surprise:
"You don't know? Within the company, there are several holy masters."
He paused for a moment and then said:
"We are also strong contenders for the position of the Holy Master."
Speaking of this, Xiong Ming looked at Shang Jianyao with a slight suspicion:
"Which holy master are you following?"
Shang Jianyao was not panicked at all, and replied seriously:
"The holy master who always pays attention to us."
"He, he is the most mysterious of the several holy masters, and I have never met him directly." Xiong Ming suddenly realized, "No wonder you know very little...... Do those who follow him wait a long time for an order?"
"At least that's how I am." Shang Jianyao said "truthfully".
Without waiting for Xiong Ming to respond, he asked first:
"Which holy master made you kill Wang Yafei?"
Xiong Ming's expression became a little subtle:
"All the masters use certain words of the old world to make their titles.
"The one I follow is called 'First Seven'."
