Bai Chen, who was sitting in the back row, said in a guessing tone:
"Maybe there is a 'New World' powerhouse in Wild Grass City, who sleeps all year round and returns occasionally, or someone carrying corresponding items happens to pass by."
The entire "Old Tune Group" has been influenced by old-world entertainment materials, and Bai Chen is no exception.
"Maybe some 'New World' nodes can restrain their fluctuations like the Awakened ones, and have an impact at a specific time?" Long Yuehong said.
Jiang Baimian shook his head slowly:
"A large amount of information and our experience have proven that no matter how small the human settlement, there may be 'heartless disease', and it is impossible for there to be strong people in the 'New World' in those places, and there are people passing by with corresponding items, right?
"In that case, the 'New World' powerhouse is too cheap, equivalent to a town mayor or village chief, and the company doesn't have the luxury of calling itself a big force?"
"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 'New World' nodes, how many have we encountered in such a long time?
"The 'New World' node that hides itself is purely a guess, at least we haven't encountered it yet, and we can't imagine a reason for it.
"Is the 'New World' node also considered intelligent creatures?"
"Why not? You are discriminating!" The honest Shang Jianyao refuted himself.
At this time, Gnava, who was in charge of driving, had completed a thorough exercise, or a traversal, and said in a slightly synthetic voice:
"Either the 'unintentional disease' brought about by the return of the 'new world' powerhouse is randomly generated in different places, and the essence is some kind of fluctuation, or there are other ways to connect to the 'new world', other ways other than 'people' and 'things'."
The way to connect "people" is the awakener of the "new world" level, and the way to connect "things" is to use "new world" nodes of large and small.
"What is it?" Shang Jianyao asked eagerly.
"People" and "things" already encompass all possibilities, how can there be any other way? Long Yuehong muttered in her heart.
"I don't know." Gnava moved his neck made of metal from side to side, "I just analyzed that the connotation and extension of 'people' and 'things' are not equal to the complete ......"
He explained that Long Yuehong was dizzy and swollen.
"So that's how it is." Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and left palm, and sighed with the expression "I completely understand".
Jiang Baimian nodded:
"We have no clues for the time being, we can't find the direction of guess, this is not in a hurry in advance, let's talk about it later, it's not too early now, let's go to Ah Fu and ask him to take us to pay respects to Aunt Nan."
"Okay." Bai Chen was the first to answer.
At half past three in the afternoon, the northern suburbs of Weeds City.
A quiet cemetery is located here, guarded by a team of soldiers.
"To be buried here, you have to pay an additional fee every year, or set aside two days a month to act as a caretaker here." As Ah Fu walked to a corner of the cemetery, he casually introduced the "old tune group".
Winter has passed, and many trees in the cemetery have sprouted new buds and grown green.
Not long after, Jiang Baimian stopped in front of a cemetery, and the words "Tomb of Ren Nan" were engraved on the rough stone tablet.
"There are no photos." Shang Jianyao looked sideways at Ah Fu.
Ah Fu sighed and said:
"My sister hasn't taken a photo for a long time."
He pointed to his neck, meaning that since he got rid of his slave status and fled to Wild Grass City, Aunt Nan hadn't taken a photo.
This is because I don't want to waste money, everyone is not having an easy time, and the other is psychological resistance.
As for the previous one, it has long been lost with the disaster.
Bai Chen didn't speak, put down the crate he was carrying, and took out the boxes of dishes inside.
Then, she stood up and bowed silently three times.
Seeing this, Shang Jianyao folded his palms and sighed:
"All living beings are suffering."
Jiang Baimian suddenly turned his head sideways, glanced at him, and gradually showed a thoughtful look.
Soon, she restrained her expression and bowed three times to Aunt Nan's tombstone.
After completing the ceremony and distributing some boxed dishes to Ah Fu, the "old tune team" walked outside the cemetery.
"That's right." Ah Fu remembered something, took two steps quickly, and chased after her, "I asked Teacher An where she lives now, and I also asked someone to tell her that you are here and want to meet her at her house."
"Well, where is it?" Jiang Baimian nodded.
Ah Fu reported the address, took the dishes he was distributed, and walked alone to the car belonging to the gun shop.
After sitting back in the jeep, Jiang Baimian held the door of the passenger seat 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, and there is no evidence yet."
"What way?" Shang Jianyao, who was in charge of driving, and Long Yuehong, who was in the back row, asked in unison.
Jiang Baimian pondered for a moment and said:
"It is a way for both 'people' and 'things' to have.
"Let's start with a clear premise:
"Are the elders in the 'new world'?"
"That's for sure." Long Yuehong answered extremely firmly.
Shang Jianyao suddenly looked frightened:
"It's over, the elders are walking on the gray soil, like Xiao Chong."
"But no matter what, the vast majority of the elders should be in the 'new world'." Bai Chen helped Long Yuehong fill in the loophole in the sentence just now.
Jiang Baimian didn't care about this small argument, and said to himself:
"So, is human belief in the year of the year a way to connect to the 'new world'?
"It has been almost 70 years since the destruction of the old world, and one thing I can't understand is why the rumors of the thirteen detainees are so unified in the midst of war and inconvenient transportation.
Long Yuehong originally wanted to say that "there is no such situation within the company, and no one knows the existence of Zhi Sui", but after thinking about it carefully, he found that this was not true at all:
Not to mention the understanding of the expatriate employees of the Ministry of Security about some of the Zhishui, not to mention the "Life Sacrifice" and other cults that secretly developed early on, and not to mention that the board members and the strong people of the "New World" all believe in the Zhishui, just the fact that the big boss is equal to "Si Ming" can make the "Pangu Creatures" not fundamentally different from other settlements in terms of faith.
"There is a certain possibility in this way." Gnava gave the results of the analysis.
Shang Jianyao suddenly realized:
"The believer who is in charge is another kind of domestic animal in captivity?
"Where there are them, there are invisible 'new world' nodes, causing the spread of 'heartless disease'?"
Hearing these words, there was silence inside the jeep.
After a few seconds, Gnava responded:
"It's indeed possible.
"This may be the reason why some executives obviously don't like to let others develop their believers.
"To maintain a large number of invisible nodes connected to the ash and earth?"
"What will happen if all these nodes disappear?" Following this idea, Bai Chen asked a question.
Shang Jianyao showed a frightened expression again:
"The disappearance of those nodes means that the vast majority of humanity is completely dead, and the remaining few may no longer be able to maintain the continuation of civilization."
"I mean, what will happen to the elders?" Bai Chen hurriedly explained the true meaning.
In fact, except for Shang Jianyao, everyone can understand what she wants to ask.
"I don't know." The honest Gnava moved his neck made of metal from side to side.
Jiang Baimian also shook his head:
"We are not even sure whether faith is equivalent to another way to connect to the 'new world'.
"We will have to investigate more carefully later."
She looked sideways at Shang Jianyao, and then asked:
"Haven't the owner of room '506' dreamed yet?"
"No." Shang Jianyao said with great interest, "I plan to see how many days she can last."
…………
Tarnan, Dream Hotel.
The proprietress Aino's head was a little lower, almost hitting the table.
She suddenly woke up and said to herself with a haggard face:
"Hold on, hold on......"
…………
In the evening, on Wegrass City South Street, on the fifth floor of a certain building.
The "Old Tune Team" came to An Ruxiang's rented place and knocked on the door.
They waited for a while before the door opened backwards.
An Ruxiang was wearing a women's dark jacket, with a blue-black tattoo faintly visible at the base of her neck, and her face was still expressionless.
"I thought you would come over tomorrow." She got out of the way and said flatly.
The place where she lives is not bad, half bedroom, half living room, attached kitchen, only the bathroom is shared, and she needs to go to the end of the corridor.
"Wait a minute, 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 familiarly:
"Let me come, Xiaohong help, you chat."
"I decided to do it happily!" Jiang Baimian responded before An Ruxiang was polite.
So, Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao got busy in the kitchen, and Jiang Baimian, An Ruxiang, and Bai Chen each pulled a chair and sat down.
"Why do you suddenly want to come to see me?" An Ruxiang asked.
Jiang Baimian looked around and found that there was a neatly folded blue and white checkered handkerchief and the same folded paper on the bedside table in the back of the room, and there were several children's textbooks from the old world on the coffee table in the living room.
She withdrew her gaze and smiled with a slightly complicated expression:
"This should be the last time we will come out to do a mission, so I want to meet my old friends, hehe, I don't know if there will be any opportunities in the future."
"Get married, have children, and live a stable life?" An Ruxiang nodded lightly.
"Yes." Jiang Baimian pointed to Bai Chen, and then pointed to Long Yuehong on the edge of the kitchen, "Both of them are already married."
An Ruxiang was stunned for a moment, and said with slightly lowered eyes:
"It's good."
"It's good, the past will always be let go slowly." Jiang Baimian turned off this topic, "You said you were a killer before, you should have been to many places and met many people, right?"
An Ruxiang is quite calm about this:
"Yes, it's a bit insightful.
"What do you want to ask?"
