Konimeth, under the sky that seems to be forever dark.
Genava and Shang Jianyao, who was wearing a military exoskeleton device, were walking towards the "post" where the guard team of the Eighth Research Institute was stationed last time.
Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen hid in the nearby mountains, watching their movements with binoculars.
So far, the "Old Tune Team" can only confirm that the "Angel of Life" necklace can help the holder avoid the "Innocent Disease" virus that permeates Konimis.
There is also no way to rule out wrong answers through experiments, because if it is useless, it means that a member will become "unintentional".
Therefore, they still let Shang Jianyao take the "Angel of Life" necklace and enter Konimis with the intelligent Genava to complete the exploration mission as they did last time.
Before going deep into the main city, the "Old Tune Team" intends to confirm the current situation of the members of the Eighth Research Institute they encountered before, so as to avoid another sudden attack.
After arriving at the abandoned building that served as an outpost, Shang Jianyao stood at the door "doing nothing", letting Genova walk around to check.
"There are no traces of humans appearing during this time." After a while, Genova came to a conclusion, "Those few people and that big cat probably never came back."
Shang Jian Yao said with a heartache:
"Aren't they coming back to confirm the situation
"Too unprofessional!"
He was even more angry than his own mistakes.
"You need to ask them." Genova answered truthfully.
"It may be that something happened in the main city, or it may be that the Eighth Research Institute was withdrawn directly..." Shang Jianyao muttered to himself.
He wanted to raise his left hand to rub his chin, but the "Angel of Life" necklace was wrapped around it, causing the entire arm to lose strength.
They didn't stop any longer, and climbed up the blue buildings one by one. On the cracked road, they walked towards the main city of Konimis at a normal speed.
Shang Jianyao made a "wang" from time to time, but Genova pretended not to hear it.
"Old Ge, what do you think is hidden in the depths of the Eighth Research Institute?" Shang Jianyao always made the topic jump around illogically.
Wearing a "chameleon" bionic intelligent armor, Genava moved his metal neck from side to side:
"do not know."
"Doesn't this make you make bold assumptions and verify carefully?" Shang Jianyao persevered.
He has always had patience and perseverance.
Regarding this issue, the "Old Tune Group" has actually discussed it for several rounds and put forward a number of speculations, which are currently unable to be falsified.
They are currently more inclined to have three answers:
First, the real reason for the high success rate of the Eighth Research Institute's awakening;
The second is the secret of "darkness" - this is inferred from the sentence that the Eighth Academy became a lackey of darkness after the destruction of the old world;
The third is related to the "New World". As for which aspect is related, there is currently no clue to judge.
Genova didn't want to discuss such topics unrelated to this operation with Shang Jianyao near the main city of Konimmis, and, until new information was obtained, this and previous internal brainstorms would have nothing to do with it. the difference.
He called up Jiang Baimian's behavior database to simulate the team leader's response to this situation. Then, he chose the one that suits him best from options such as "violent threat", turned his head slightly, and pointed in one direction:
"what is that?"
"What?" Shang Jianyao followed excitedly.
The next second, the brows behind his mask frowned:
"Why didn't I find anything?"
"I made a misjudgment." Genova quickly apologized.
Shang Jianyao looked back in disappointment.
He continued to walk in the direction of the main city of Konimmis, and was quiet for several minutes.
Seeing that the sky is getting darker and the buildings are getting more and more dead, and the dead place is in sight, Shang Jianyao suddenly said:
"I always feel that I have overlooked some important information in Professor Qin's 'Sea of Origins'."
"It's normal. 'Fate Pass' just helps you mobilize all your memories. You still have to do the screening and inspection yourself, but the manpower is sometimes poor." Genova thinks this is no problem.
"And you smart people won't." Shang Jianyao looked envious.
He went on to say:
"But this feeling of ignoring important information didn't exist a few days ago. I just woke up after entering Koningmis."
He described it oddly, but Genova understood what he meant:
"Do you think there was some kind of hidden interference that caused you to ignore some important information?"
"Yes." Shang Jianyao speculated with great interest, "It may be a hint, let me skip the hint of the corresponding memory."
Genova wore the head of the chameleon, and the red light flashed twice in his eyes:
"There was another Awakened at that time. He hid in the dark and exerted influence on you?"
It's not impossible either.
The assassin might have also watched the scene for a while, and even sat in the crimson off-road vehicle with the male body of Gitis.
Shang Jianyao shook his head:
"I think it's a problem with that part of the memory.
"They come with their own hints."
"Just a memory fragment of something that can silently hint you?" The Awakener-related model currently established by Genava does not support this situation.
"Yes." Shang Jian Yao said yearningly, "I'm afraid this is the power of the age-holding level."
"There are other explanations." Genova analyzed, "It is also possible that Professor Qin was influenced in advance, and the corresponding memory fragments were disguised, evading your screening, and you had noticed something strange or said at the time. The incongruity, but I didn't notice it, until today I suddenly recall it."
Pong pong pong, Shang Jianyao slapped the armor on his chest with his right palm covered with metal bones:
"It turns out it can be like this!"
He acted like he was not the one who used "Fate Tong" to evoke all of Professor Qin's memories.
Without waiting for Genava to respond, he said enthusiastically:
"What is the hidden part of the memory about?"
"Darkness or the principal." Genova quickly built a model and came to the conclusion, "The strength of the Eighth Research Institute is definitely not only those who are strong in the 'New World', and Professor Qin, as a quasi-high-level, should not treat himself I don't know anything about the most powerful force, but when you use the 'Fate Pass' to check his memory, you didn't get any information on this."
Pong pong pong, Shang Jianyao once again completed the applause in the same way.
Honestly, he was good at nitpicking, and quickly asked another question:
"Then why is the memory related to the specific location of the Eighth Research Institute not hidden?"
"Maybe it's because I hide Professor Qin and don't know how to go back." Shang Jianyao answered himself.
Gnavar held up more possibilities:
"Either only that part of the memory can hide itself with the power of its own suggestion, or the person who influenced Professor Qin beforehand was not from the Eighth Research Institute. He not only wanted us to find the Eighth Research Institute, but he didn't want us to know something..."
During the exchange, they officially entered the main city of Konimmis.
Looking at the vehicles piled up in a mess on the street ahead, Shang Jianyao suddenly said, "Oops":
"How can you discuss what Professor Qin remembered
"You have to focus on this mission itself!"
The red light in Genova's eyes instantly solidified for two seconds.
"It's all my fault." Shang Jianyao has always been self-critical.
He glanced left and right and said:
"Go to the residence of Esther's mistress and child first."
This is what they promised Gitis, and they will do it when they say it.
When making plans in advance, Jiang Baimian prioritized this matter before exploring the secrets of the "Children of Zhi Sui".
This is because, if you arrive at the luxury apartment where "Zhi Sui's Son" lives first, no one can predict the subsequent development. Maybe Coning Meath will disappear from this and enter the "new world" as a whole, allowing the "old tune group" "There will never be another chance to fulfill Esther's last wish.
"Okay." Even if Shang Jianyao didn't take the initiative, Genava would remind him.
As an outsider, Esther's residence in Konimis obviously cannot be close to the core area, but is located in the north of the main city.
It was also an apartment, and the dark blue building was very stylish, but the plants and broken glass everywhere made it look extremely rundown.
"It hasn't even reached the place where the 'New World' overlaps with Koningmis, and the projection appears..." Shang Jianyao said with some disappointment.
"This is a good thing. After we quickly get what Esther wants, we can concentrate on finding the residence of the 'Children'." Genova's eyes flickered a few times, "If the disaster had It came very suddenly, and the old-tuned team might be scattered in or around the residence of the 'Children'."
Shang Jianyao was silent for a while and said:
"It may also become a 'mindless person' who wandered elsewhere and died in a corner of the city."
Hearing this, Genova looked around by turning his neck and turning back:
"Have you noticed anything wrong?"
"What?" Shang Jianyao asked excitedly.
Genova replied in a low, slightly synthetic voice:
"Last time we were in Konimeth, we found some fresh traces of 'mindless' haunts along the way.
"Not at all this time."
They have even encountered "unintentional ones" with abnormally high levels of strength before.
