On the way back from the island to the shore of Nu Lake, to the entrance of the "Underground Ark" Tieshan, several members of the "Old Tune Group" kept silent, and the conversations kept echoing in their minds:
"In your tribe, how long did the first group of people who landed on Huxin Island waited for the divine envoy, and where did they wait?"
"What are you asking this for?"
"How are they doing now?"
"They, they, have 'innocence'."
"all?"
"all."
Returning to the second basement floor and entering the reception room, Jiang Baimian glanced sideways at Shang Jianyao, breaking the indescribable atmosphere:
"why do not you talk
"You are the least likely to be frightened."
Shang Jianyao raised his hand and rubbed his temples:
"It's afternoon, I used my power again, and the power is almost exhausted."
His damaged spirit has not yet fully recovered.
With such an episode, Long Yuehong finally couldn't help but speak:
"If you stay in Yanhu Temple for more than a quarter of an hour, stay in the area around the temple for more than half an hour, and stay in other parts of the island for more than three days, will you be infected with 'innocence'?"
Jiang Baimian nodded invisibly:
"That's how it looks at the moment.
"I don't know if the company has accumulated experience with human life..."
"Then what is the reason for all this?" Bai Chen didn't care much about why "Pangu creatures" could formulate such precautions. She was concerned about the connection between the sleeping Yan Hu and "Wuxin Disease".
On the way back, Jiang Baimian had already thought about many possibilities, and denied them one by one. At this time, she threw out the one that she thought was the most reasonable:
"Yan Hu is actually trapped in the 'new world', and his body is equivalent to becoming a node where the 'new world' meets reality
"Such a node is uncontrolled and will slowly leak out the breath, matter and..."
Having said that, Jiang Baimian paused and added a word:
"Virus."
Long Yuehong's eyes suddenly widened:
"You are saying that the 'Wuxin disease' virus came from the 'New World' and spread to the dust through similar nodes, infecting the surrounding people, just like when Yan Hu fell asleep, the human settlement on Huxin Island was quickly destroyed. 'Innocent Disease' is overwhelmed?"
"This is an explanation, and more evidence is needed." Jiang Baimian tried to calm himself.
It has always been her ideal to investigate the source of "no heart disease".
She exhaled and added:
"In the 'new world', the 'innocent disease' virus may be nothing, or even necessarily a virus, but it is very deadly to people who live on dust."
This reminded her of some books she had read before. After some humans came to a place isolated from the world, they carried harmless bacteria and viruses that brought mass death to the indigenous people.
"Yes, but they all say that the 'New World' is a good place, there is no 'heart disease', no famine, no cold, no monsters, no distortion..." Long Yuehong felt that the holy land in her mind was tainted.
"Maybe there are no humans either." Shang Jianyao, who was weak and mentally ill, added to him next to him.
This sentence made Long Yue's red hair stand up.
Bai Chen nodded.
"The 'New World' may not be a good place, didn't Ole say he would rather die than go to the 'New World'?"
Jiang Baimian gave a "hmm" and said in recollection:
"It was discovered that the date of the company's outbreak of 'no-heart disease' coincides with the time of the initial city turmoil, haven't we made a guess
"In the beginning, the turmoil in the city was likely to be noticed by Zhi Sui, and even directly intervened. Their collision produced certain high-level fluctuations, which brought small-scale 'innocence' to many places in the dust...
"It now appears that this speculation has to be revised."
Shang Jianyao raised his hand and tried to answer, but rubbed his forehead weakly:
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to think about it."
Jiang Baimian glanced at him, and after considering the language, he said:
"During the initial city turmoil, the powerhouses of the major forces who entered the 'New World' in spirit and stayed in the ashes in their bodies more or less returned, and with the watchful eyes and intervention of the elders, that morning, the 'New World' and There must have been multiple passages between the dust and soil, causing the 'Wuxing Disease' to leak out again."
Compared with the fluctuations caused by the collision of forces, this guess seems more reasonable and realistic.
Long Yuehong nodded first, and then asked a question:
"Since Yan Hu's sleeping temple and the surrounding area cannot stay for too long, otherwise he will inevitably be infected with 'innocence', then the 'Crystal Consciousness Cult' inside and several streets next to the Xikaruo Temple, the first city golden apple area and even the whole There can be no human existence in the city, and it has long been ruled by the 'unintentional'."
From Long Yuehong's point of view, there is not much difference between the "Buddha's body" and the sleeping Yan Hu in essence, while the similar spirit enters the "new world", the body remains in the ashes, and is still active, the first city Certainly more than one.
Yan Hu will bring it, and they will bring it too!
Jiang Baimian responded with a slightly bitter smile:
"How do you think the cases of 'no heart disease' that appeared from time to time in the first city came from?"
Long Yuehong, who asked this question, was instantly horrified.
Jiang Baimian continued:
"It's just that, compared to the unlucky Yan Hu, they have more freedom, they can choose when to go back to sleep and when to go to sleep, and they also maintain a certain degree of control over the surrounding area, and can leak the 'innocence' and Transmission is suppressed to a very low level.
"And I suspect that they can also consciously distribute power, who to protect or who not to protect, so very few people in the company's management have 'innocence', and the staff group has that once or twice a year, or even more.
"This point, after returning to the original city, we can do a verification and compare the incidence rate of 'innocent disease' among noble groups, official army, and ordinary citizens."
Bai Chen remembered a certain detail and echoed with understanding:
"It's no wonder that when Ole's housekeeper got 'unintentional disease', he was not sad, not panicked, not afraid, but angry and doubtful...
"He thinks that some of the people who are supposed to protect the housekeeper are not doing their job."
Hearing this, Long Yuehong felt that another link was buckled.
Slap, Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and slammed his left palm, holding on to show a relieved expression:
"So we really wronged Xiaochong!"
The "Old Tune Team" has suspected for some time that the outbreak of "unintentional disease" in Chengqing Olive District was related to Xiaochong.
Jiang Baimian laughed "Haha":
"Don't forget what Teacher Du Heng said about Wu Meng and Xiaochong.
"As the sores of this world, their connection to the new world is not necessarily weaker than that of the sleeping old guys."
In the reception room, silence reigned here again.
After a while, Bai Chen took the initiative to ask a question:
"Since Yan Hu is likely to be an awakened spirit who entered the 'New World' and left his body on the ashes, why did he shout 'Save me'? And he is not like other 'New World' powerhouses, who can occasionally return ."
Jiang Baimian already had an idea about this, smiled and said:
"Yan Hu is self-named 'Yan Luo', and he is called a god in this world. Obviously, he doesn't believe in any one who is old. When he arrives in the 'New World', no one will take him in, no one will protect him, and then he probably encountered something.
"I suspect that he was suppressed by which executive, just like Dimarco was sealed in the ark by 'Yougu'..."
In the second half of the sentence, Jiang Baimian said in a low voice.
This used to be the place where "yougu" often watched.
For this reason, Jiang Baimian deliberately changed the topic and sneered at Shang Jianyao:
"You, who carry the blessings of the heavens with you, may be worse than Yan Hu when you enter the 'new world'."
Shang Jianyao sighed:
"They will understand my good intentions."
"What kind of hard work do you have?" Knowing that Shang Jianyao couldn't give a serious answer, Long Yuehong wanted to hear what "high points" he had.
Shang Jian Yao spreads his hands:
"Not ready yet.
"It's still early anyway."
Saying that, he yawned.
Seeing this, Jiang Baimian made a summary:
"This time I came to the Redstone Collection, and I gained a lot more than I imagined, and it was very important.
"Next, the specific connection between 'New World' and 'Wuxin Disease' will be put aside for the time being, because there is no clue to pursue it, and we will consider it later.
"Hey, you follow us to the library, find some books and sleep on the floor for a while, and we ask the residents of the ark to help filter.
"Try to interpret all the words left by Montes before seeing the monster tomorrow afternoon."
The current direction of the "Old Tune Group" is the relationship between Montis and the "Tieshan Second Food Company", a Buddhist holy place.
…
In the dead of night, in the library room, Jiang Baimian asked Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, and Shang Jianyao, who had taken a "siesta":
"Any gains?"
"No." Bai Chen answered first, while Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao shook their heads.
Jiang Baimian frowned slightly:
"After the initial shock, confusion and confusion, Montes appears to be cautious and careful, leaving no clues."
After pondering for a few seconds, Jiang Baimian turned to ask:
"Are there any Buddhist scriptures in the library?"
Purdue Zen Master Shang Jianyao is very sure of this:
"No.
"I originally wanted to find a few volumes to study."
He is the only one who wants to learn Buddhist scriptures, not "men".
Jiang Baimian said "um":
"Having never read the Buddhist scriptures, and seems to have never passed through the 'Hall of Stars', how did DiMarco or Montes know that one of his abilities is called 'Fate Pass'
"This is a Buddhist term. Many people in the gray soil don't know or understand it. What did he, a Honghe person, come up with?"
