Is this a mental breakdown to the extreme, completely crazy? Jiang Baimian was about to squeeze in a little when he found that the crowd had dispersed.
On the opposite side came two members of the Robot Guard wearing dark green uniforms.
They are about the same height as Gnawa, and the blue light emitted from their eyes is so that Jiang Baimian, who claims to be never blind, can't tell who they are, after all, the most likely different additional modules are covered by clothes.
The two members of the Robot Guard quickly set up a man in the middle of the road and walked to the other end of the street.
The man was wearing blue and white, looser cotton clothes, his black hair hung down messily, he had a blue beard that had just grown on the side of his mouth, and his eyes showed a hysterical feeling.
As he was dragged forward, he kept shouting:
"It's all dead! They are all dead!"
The originally lively streets became quiet, until the man was taken to another area by the members of the Robot Guard and disappeared from everyone's eyes, and everyone recovered and discussed the matter of the "High Unintentional" in the southwestern mountainous area.
It is said to be a mountainous area in the southwest, but in fact, compared to Tarnan, it should be in the northeast, but people here are accustomed to using the main peak of the Chilar Mountains as the dividing standard.
Jiang Baimian glanced at it and found that the pedestrians on the street did not look afraid or worried, as if he felt that this was just a trivial matter that the robot guards could easily solve.
"Mechanical Paradise" gives them a strong sense of security...... Jiang Baimian sighed silently and continued to secretly follow Shang Jianyao in front of him.
…………
At ten o'clock in the evening, in the "221" room of the "Youmeng" hotel, four members of the "Old Tune Team" who were out for action regrouped.
"Yes, it's all back in its entirety." Jiang Baimian swept around and said with a smile.
The focus of her words is to praise Long Yuehong.
Without giving Long Yuehong a chance to be humble, she directly added:
"Let's share the gains of each other, starting with, well, Xiaobai."
Although Bai Chen had been looking at Long Yuehong, this did not prevent her from using her observation ability and Long Yuehong's gap to ask for advice to collect some information:
"There are two bars in Tarnam, but they only sell fruit wines, and they are limited.
"The situation inside is similar to the company's 'activity center', mainly local residents during the off-season farming, relic hunters who dare not take risks in winter, and personnel who take turns in various caravans gather to play cards, chat, sing, and dance......"
Obviously, with the grain production of Tarnan, it cannot support the brewing industry, even if there is a surplus share, there will definitely be no shortage of people, and foreign caravans will choose more valuable trading items, and no one will cross the mountains to transport a dozen or twenty barrels of wine - on the gray soil, there are very few places where there are many alcoholic beverages like Wild Grass City, and most of them have insufficient food.
Therefore, for the residents of Tarnan, those seasonal wild fruits in the Chilar Mountains that are not very tasty when eaten directly and have a short shelf life can be used to make a little wine.
Seeing that Shang Jianyao's eyes lit up when he heard this, Jiang Baimian laughed:
"There are quite a few ways to entertain yourself here.
"Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a radio program."
Within "Pangu Biotech", every day off, the "Activity Center" will organize special activities, including but not limited to ballroom dancing, basketball, tug-of-war competitions, etc., to enrich the spiritual life of employees.
Long Yuehong heard this and helpfully added:
"But there are old world entertainment materials.
"I found that many townspeople here have portable computers, which more or less store some old-world entertainment materials."
In this case, "Pangu Biology" cannot compare.
Who can have a computer for ordinary employees?
"The electronic products here are really not worth much. In Wild Grass City, some nobles may not have portable computers." Jiang Baimian commented.
Of course, based on the relationship between Weeds City and "Mechanical Paradise", the main reason why some nobles do not have computers is because they think computers are useless.
Can this still help with farming?
When Bai Chen finished talking about the information she had collected, Jiang Baimian turned to ask Shang Jianyao:
"What have you gained?"
Don't be happy to dance, satisfying to sing, fried chicken wings are delicious...... As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Baimian added a sentence in his heart.
Shang Jianyao replied seriously:
"The sect that organizes people to sing on the street is the 'Mirage Dragon Sect', and it worships the 'Broken Mirror' in November.
"They believe that the current world is just a huge illusion, which is used by the 'broken mirror' to test mankind, and the real body of this 'God of Illusion' is a mirage dragon in ancient legends......
"They call believers who have received the favor of 'Shattered Mirror' 'Dragonborn'......"
Hey, it's not bad, I didn't forget the task when I sang and danced and ate fried chicken wings...... Jiang Baimian listened and suddenly felt something was wrong, and hurriedly asked:
"Don't you care what the sacrament of the 'Mirage Dragon Sect' is?"
Shang Jianyao replied calmly:
"I'm afraid I'll hesitate."
Jiang Baimian "tsk":
"Actually, there may be no need to worry, think about it, they all think that the current world is a huge illusion, so what else is the sacrament? Anyway, it's all fake and illusory."
"It's ...... too too" Shang Jianyao seemed to be persuaded.
But he immediately asked again:
"Then don't they even need to eat? Wouldn't it be better to 'wake up hungry' early?"
Jiang Baimian almost couldn't answer this question, but fortunately she reacted quickly enough and her associative ability was good enough:
"Haven't we ever encountered a 'nightmare horse'? If you starve to death in a dream, you will really starve to death."
Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and slapped his left palm and said:
"I understand."
He then talked about the "scales of glory".
As for the "Crucible Sect", everyone had heard Means mention it, and he didn't repeat it again.
Shang Jianyao was followed by Long Yuehong, who told the information he had obtained from several local old men and ladies one by one.
"Maximian? 'Mechanical Paradise' has actually offered a reward to a human being for so many years...... What did he do? Or, was he involved in some important research in the old world?" Jiang Baimian made a guess based on Maximian's suspected scientist.
"Maybe." Long Yuehong took the initiative to propose, "Team leader, I want to visit Gu Bo, the local president of the Lower Hunter Guild tomorrow, he should know a lot."
He didn't find where Gu Bo's house was tonight.
"Okay." Jiang Baimian praised with relief, "Yes, you are becoming more and more active and proactive, which shows that your self-confidence has improved, well, tomorrow you and Xiaobai will visit President Gu Bo, and I will go to the church of the 'Furnace Sect' with Shang Jianyao to meet the 'devotee' Li Zhe."
Now that I have Means letter, it would be a waste not to take the opportunity to go over and get some information!
Finally, Jiang Baimian talked about the survivor who went crazy and other observations.
…………
The next morning, after a brief breakfast, the "old tune group" split into two and went to their destinations.
The "Crucible Sect" church is at the southernmost end of last night's street, and it seems to have been converted from a small factory in the old world.
It is independent of itself, the exterior walls are made black, and the gate is painted fiery red, which at first glance really looks like a strange "furnace".
It was only when Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao saw the street sign that they knew the name of the current street from its mottled surface:
"Riverside Avenue"
The door of the Furnace Church was tightly closed, as if no strangers were allowed to enter, but Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao had heard Means mention that this was mainly to simulate the feeling of "furnace", not to prevent anyone from entering.
Jiang Baimian stretched out his left hand and pushed open the door, only to feel a heat wave coming towards him.
This is in stark contrast to the cold wind that is steep on the outside.
Jiang Baimian looked up and found that the dome was very high, and the pipes, either gray or black, extended to different places along the pillars and walls.
"It's generating heat." Shang Jianyao put his palm on a piece of iron black pipe by the door.
Jiang Baimian thought for a moment and made a judgment:
"There should be hot water flowing in it, what a luxury!"
She thought it was mimicking the heating system of the old world.
Based on this, it can be inferred that there is probably a large boiler behind the church with stacked coal.
Although it feels strange to associate churches with these things, with a wonderful industrial style, Jiang Baimian was relieved when he thought that the name of this sect was "Furnace".
"Please close the door casually." A voice came from the front of the prayer hall.
Well, you can't let the heat escape too much, it's a waste of energy...... Jiang Baimian has a new understanding of why the "Furnace Sect" always closes its doors.
Shang Jianyao closed the door and asked curiously:
"If it's summer, will there be heating here?"
Jiang Baimian imagined the scene and suddenly felt very hot.
"There will be no heating. The architectural design here ensures that the summer heat stays inside, directly creating the feeling of a furnace." The man at the front of the prayer hall explained.
He was about forty years old, wearing a fiery red robe, a typical gray earth man, with slightly dark skin, relatively high cheekbones, wet hair, and sweat on his forehead.
"Excuse me, is Your Excellency Li Zhe here?" Jiang Baimian leaned over and asked politely.
The man in the red robe exhaled and said:
"I am Li Zhe, the 'devotee' of the church."
"Are you hot?" Shang Jianyao asked curiously.
Li Zhe nodded:
"It's very hot, but it's also very comfortable, very relaxing, and I feel that all the impurities in my body have been calcined by the furnace."
Seeing Jiang Baimian and the others a little puzzled, Li Zhe pointed to a door on the side:
"I just presided over a Mass, and that was our Mass room."
"Do you have a special room for Mass?" Jiang Baimian did not hide his doubts and curiosity.
Li Zhe smiled and said:
"Yes, our Mass ceremony is more demanding, and we need to pour water on the red-hot stones in a relatively closed room and watch the water vapor spread.
"Ah, this is the breath of the gods, who is bathing us.
"It penetrates into our clothes, burrows into our skin, and allows us to expel the impurities and exhaustion from our bodies......
"After every Mass, when you change your clothes, everyone feels very relaxed and energetic. It is a gift from the Spirit, just as we feel after the sacrament in the summer."
"......" Jiang Baimian's expression became more and more eccentric the more he listened.
She really wanted to ask, does your sect have a sanctuary in the Old World, and if so, is it called a "bathing center"?
