Chapter 917 Their respective pasts
Flora answered Shang Jianyao's question:
"Of course it's the elders.
"What kind of punishment exactly depends on what they thought at the time."
Shang Jianyao looked like he was "suddenly enlightened":
"Then if you pass on the secret and there is no punishment, what are the reasons?"
Liu Chuan glanced at him:
"There is only one possibility, and that is that the executives acquiesced."
"Could it be that the information transmitted to the outside world is dense and the elders can't understand it at all?" Shang Jianyao asked.
Flora smiled and shook her head:
"There is no such possibility.
"When you transmit information outward, some Zhi Sui can know what your purpose is by checking what you are thinking."
"What if after coming here, I haven't prayed to the year and haven't been marked?" The merchant saw that Yao was persistent.
Flora and Barnard looked at each other and shook their heads again:
"Although there is some truth to this, the entire 'new world' is built by the elders, and the information you transmit must penetrate the barrier to have a filtering process.
Papa, Shang Jianyao clapped:
"As expected of the former director of the 'Orange' company, the metaphor is very technological."
The "Orange" company is a well-known high-tech force, just like "future intelligence".
Compared with them, the "Pangu creatures" that are only good at biology, medicine, and bionic intelligent armor are slightly lame.
Shang Jianyao then said:
"Maybe the year is in turn, no, the moon, when the message is transmitted, it happens that the 'last man' and 'Zhuang Sheng' are not in charge."
"'Zhuang Sheng' represents the whole year." Flora reminded, "He is always there."
As a Honghe person, she does not have the concept of a leap month.
Shang Jianyao was about to reply, "'Zhuang Sheng' is my good friend, no wonder I was not punished for passing on secrets outside", but his right hand suddenly raised and covered his mouth.
"Okay." Shang Jianyao put down his palm and replied slightly disappointed.
At this time, Flora kindly asked:
"You just said that there are some things you want to deal with before the turmoil starts, what are the things? Maybe we can help you with your doubts."
Shang Jianyao looked around and said:
"Do you know that gray courtyard? The one where there is often a slight movement."
"I know." Flora and Barnard replied in unison.
"It seems dangerous there." Barnard, who was trembling on the left half, emphasized.
A "New World" powerhouse who was listening to the discussion of several people next to him smiled and said:
"This is a rumor, I have been there and have not been affected at all.
"There are some weird points there, but just like this building now, there is no danger."
The current building is also very special in the "New World", and it seems that only it has a basement.
The one who spoke was a gray man, but he was quite fluent in a Red River dialect, and his accent was similar to Flora's.
He is of medium stature, with short black hair with a little natural curls, the corners of his eyes are slightly drooping, the bridge of his nose is not straight enough, and the nasolabial folds on his mouth are more obvious, looking like he is in his forties.
"Have you been in that courtyard?" Shang Jianyao asked in surprise.
In the previous round of greetings, he already knew this person's name, Chen Wen.
Chen Wen saw that all the eyes were on him, and replied calmly:
"What's so surprising about this?
"At that time, I had just entered the 'New World' and met a few friends, and I didn't understand the dangerous situation in those strange places.
"When I passed by there, I heard a slight movement in the courtyard, so I went in and took a look.
"Yes, yes!" Shang Jianyao deeply agreed.
He asked:
"Did you hear a woman crying softly?"
"I heard it." Chen Wen didn't think it was worth it, and replied without concealment, "I also heard her say that eternal life is equal to eternal pain."
"Is there anything else?" Shang Jianyao looked expectant.
Chen Wen recalled and said:
"As I was about to leave, I heard her whisper that she hoped this nightmare would wake up soon, and the source of pain would be buried by death."
"Gone?" Shang Jianyao confirmed.
"It's gone." Chen Wen shook his head firmly.
"Hey......" Shang Jianyao sighed disappointedly.
After listening to the conversation between the two, Flora kindly reminded:
"Most of those strange buildings are very dangerous, which many awakened people have learned with blood and tears, among them, there are indeed a few that have no problems, such as the building where the basement is located, and the courtyard, but this is only a few after all.
"I understand." Chen Wen nodded and laughed at himself, "Mainly because I was too ignorant at the time."
"The weirdest thing is the tower." Shang Jianyao's thinking always goes unusual.
After chatting about this matter for a while, everyone had nothing to do.
The waiting process is always difficult.
Shang Jianyao pulled a chair and sat down, and started to talk about homely things:
"How did you all enter the 'New World', did you have any doubts about this place before entering?"
Flora smiled slightly complicatedly and pointed to her body:
"You also saw that I am worse than high paraplegia.
"The further I explored in the 'Spiritual Corridor', the worse my physical condition became, and later, my mental state was also affected, although I had certain doubts about the 'New World', but I still hoped to come in quickly and get rid of all that bad things, who knows, it's even worse here."
Barnard took over:
"I was semi-voluntary, half-forced.
"As the former president of the 'Linhai Alliance', I am doing quite well, although I have severe hemiplegia, but with the help of various technological devices, I can still maintain a certain quality of life, but unfortunately, my plan to enjoy my old age was broken by the conflict between the alliance and the 'United Industry'.
Shang Jianyao expressed his understanding by clapping.
He immediately turned to Liu Chuan:
"What about you?"
"Me?" Liu Chuan pointed to himself, "I responded to the call of 'truth' and came to the 'new world'."
Shang Jianyao asked Chen Wen again:
"What are you doing?"
"Because I yearn for this place." Chen Wen had an expression of "so many reasons", "Isn't most people here because they yearn for a 'new world', want to gain eternal life, and want to see absolute truth?"
"I'm not." Shang Jianyao said solemnly, "I opened the door to solve the problems of the 'New World'!"
The scene suddenly became a little cold.
Shang saw that Yao was unaware, and instead asked Flora and the others:
"Aren't you worried that if you fail this time, you will be punished by the gods of the deacons?
"Moreover, even if they escape, the problem will still remain, and the future may be even more cruel."
Flora was silent for a while, and said slowly:
"I only know that if I don't leave here, I'm going crazy, and I'll think about what it will be like in the future."
She glanced at Shang Jianyao and didn't say anything further.
After a few seconds, Barnard explained for her:
"There are only so many people here, there is no natural landscape, no weather changes, no entertainment methods, usually we can only chat with each other or borrow some books from the library, and many times we have to endure hunger.
"It's worse than going to jail!
"In such an environment, after staying for a year and a year, everyone's spirit is close to collapsing, and it is very normal to do any irrational behavior."
"If I hadn't found a reason to go back to the dust once or twice a year, I would have gone crazy." Liu Chuan also sighed.
Shang Jianyao said "Oh":
"I understand. I don't have to worry about this."
"Why?" Chen Wen asked suspiciously.
Shang Jianyao replied triumphantly:
"I'm crazy."
The scene turned cold again.
Shang Jianyao remembered something and said to Barnard:
"You mentioned the library just now?"
"Yes." Barnard nodded, "The only way to entertain yourself here is to read books, and there are many books in that library."
"Is there a guy there who is crazy and wants to attack people when he sees them?" Shang Jianyao asked.
Liu Chuan said "Hmm":
"That's hungry, he finally couldn't hold on any longer some time ago and became food for the elders."
Shang Jianyao's thinking always jumps:
"No, 'New World' can't just have books and no games......
"Is it because he hasn't returned yet?"
He was referring to Xiao Chong.
Before Flora and the others could respond to him, the whole house suddenly shook.
The harbingers of turmoil appeared.
The strong people of the "New World" present all showed fanaticism.
Seeing this, Shang Jianyao rubbed his chin and said to himself:
"The people here, including me, are actually hypnotized by the 'truth'?"
"Maybe." Chen Wen heard his whisper.
This person's fanaticism is not serious, but there is a certain expectation in his eyes.
Shang Jianyao looked up and down at the "New World" powerhouse who had also entered the courtyard, and asked curiously:
"What field are you in?"
Chen Wen replied with a smile:
"'Broken Mirror'."
