Flora answered Shang Jianyao's question:
"Of course the seniors.
"What kind of punishment depends on what they thought at the time."
Shang Jianyao has a "sudden realization" appearance:
"Then what are the reasons for passing on the secret without being punished?"
Liu Chuan glanced at him:
"There is only one possibility, and that is the acquiescence of the executives."
"Could it be that the information sent to the outside world is encrypted, and the executives can't understand it at all?" Shang Jianyao asked.
Flora smiled and shook her head:
"There is no such possibility.
"The 'Zhuang Sheng' field has mind reading, and the 'Last Man' field has flipping memory. When you send information out, some executives can check what you are thinking and know what your purpose is. "
"What if after coming here, I haven't prayed to Zhi Sui, and I haven't been marked?" Shang Jianyao persevered.
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. If the information you transmit needs to penetrate the barrier, there will definitely be a filtering process. If the elders track it in reverse, they will be able to locate it. you."
Slap clap clap, Shang Jianyao applauded:
"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", which are only good at biology, medicine, and bionic intelligent armor, are slightly lame.
Shang Jianyao continued:
"Maybe the people who hold the year take turns holding the day, no, holding the moon, and it happens that the 'last man' and the 'Zhuang Sheng' are not in charge when passing on the information."
"'Johnson' represents the whole year." Flora reminded, "He is always there."
As a Honghe native, she does not have the concept of leap month.
Shang Jianyao was about to reply, "'Zhuang Sheng' is my good friend, no wonder I passed the secret without being punished", 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 asked kindly:
"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 clear your doubts."
Shang Jianyao looked around and said:
"Do you know that grey and earthy courtyard? The one where there is often a slight movement."
"I know." Flora and Barnard answered in unison.
"It seems to be very dangerous there." Barnard, who was trembling on the left side, emphasized.
A "New World" powerhouse who was listening to several people discussing next to him laughed:
"It's a rumor, I've been in there, and I haven't been affected at all.
"It's a little weird there, but like this building, there's no danger."
The current building is also special in the "New World", it seems that only it has a basement.
The man who spoke was a gray man, but he was quite fluent in Red River, with an accent similar to Flora's.
He is medium in height, with short black hair that is naturally curly, the corners of his eyes are slightly drooping, the bridge of his nose is not straight enough, and the nasolabial folds around his mouth are more obvious, and he looks like he is in his forties.
"Have you ever entered that compound?" 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 his eyes were turned to himself, and answered calmly:
"What's so surprising about that
"At the time, I had just entered the 'New World' and met with a few friends, and I didn't understand the dangers in places that were a little weird.
"When I was passing there, I heard a slight movement in the courtyard, so I went in and took a look. It turned out that there were no negative effects at all?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Shang Jianyao deeply agreed.
he asked:
"Have you heard a woman cry in a low voice?"
"I heard." Chen Wen didn't think it was worth anything, and answered without concealment, "I also heard her say that eternal life is equal to eternal pain."
"Is there anything else?" Shang Jianyao looked expectantly.
Chen Wen recalled the following:
"As I was about to leave, I heard her whisper that she hoped that this nightmare would wake up sooner and that the source of the pain would be buried by death."
"No?" Shang Jianyao confirmed.
"No." Chen Wen shook his head firmly.
"Hey..." Shang Jianyao sighed in disappointment.
After listening to the conversation between the two, Flora kindly reminded:
"Most of those buildings that are a bit weird are very dangerous. This is what many awakened people have learned through blood and tears. Among them, there are indeed a few of them that are not a problem. For example, the building where the basement is located, and the courtyard, but After all, this is only a minority, and if you enter rashly without knowing the situation, there is a high probability that you will suffer serious injury."
"I understand." Chen Wen nodded and laughed to himself, "The main reason was that I was too ignorant at the time."
"The most bizarre thing is the tower." Shang Jianyao's thinking is always unusual.
After chatting about this for a while, everyone became idle.
The process of waiting is always difficult.
Shang Jianyao pulled a chair and sat down, and started to talk about his daily routine:
"How did you all enter the 'new world', didn't you have any doubts about this place before entering?"
Flora pointed to her body with a slightly complicated smile:
"You can also see that I am not as good as a high paraplegic.
"The farther I explore in the 'Spiritual Corridor', the worse my physical condition is. Later, my mental state was also affected. Although I have certain doubts about the 'New World', I still hope to come in quickly and get rid of it. That shit, who knows, it's even worse here."
Barnard took over:
"I was half voluntary and half forced.
"As the former president of the 'Linhai Alliance', I have been doing pretty well. Although I have severe hemiplegia, with the help of various technological devices, I can maintain a certain quality of life. It is a pity that my plan to enjoy my old age has been abandoned. The conflict between the alliance and the 'United Industry' was broken, and at a critical moment, I had no choice but to open the door of the 'new world', enter here, and contribute to the alliance."
Shang Jianyao expressed his understanding by applauding.
He then turned to Liu Chuan:
"And 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:
"Why are you?"
"Because of yearning for this place." Chen Wen said with a face of "there are so many reasons", "Don't most people enter here because they yearn for the 'new world', want to gain eternal life, and want to see the absolute truth? "
"I'm not." Shang Jianyao said sternly, "I opened the door to solve the problems of the 'New World'!"
The scene suddenly became a little cold.
Shang Jianyao didn't notice it, and instead asked Flora and the others:
"Aren't you worried that if you fail this time, you will be punished by the gods
"Also, even if they escape, the problem still remains, 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 will go crazy, and I will consider what it will be like in the future."
She glanced at Shang Jianyao and said nothing.
After a few seconds, Barnard explained to her:
"There are only so many people here, there is no natural landscape, no weather changes, and no entertainment. Usually, we can only chat with each other or borrow books from the library. Many times we have to endure hunger.
"It's worse than jail time!
"In such an environment, after staying for a year and a year, everyone's spirit is close to collapse, and it is very normal to make any irrational behavior."
"If I hadn't been able to find a reason to return to the dust once or twice a year, I would have gone crazy." Liu Chuan also sighed.
Shang Jianyao said "oh":
"I see. I don't have to worry about that."
"Why?" Chen Wen asked suspiciously.
Shang Jianyao replied triumphantly:
"I've gone 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 of entertainment here is to read books. There are many books in that library."
"Is there a guy there who is crazy and wants to attack when he sees someone?" Shang Jianyao asked.
Liu Chuan said "um":
"That's hungry. Some time ago, he finally couldn't stand it anymore and became the food for the old people."
Shang Jianyao's thinking is always jumping:
"No, 'New World' can't have only books and no games...
"Is it because he hasn't returned yet?"
He was referring to Xiaochong.
Before Flora and the others could respond to him, the whole house shook suddenly.
The harbingers of unrest appeared.
All the "New World" powerhouses present were full of fanaticism.
Seeing this, Shang Jianyao rubbed his chin and said to himself:
"People here, including me, are actually hypnotized by 'truth'?"
"Maybe." Chen Wen heard his whisper.
This fanaticism is not serious, but there is a certain expectation in his eyes.
Shang Jianyao looked up and down the "New World" powerhouse who had also entered the compound, and asked curiously:
"Which field are you in?"
Chen Wen smiled and replied:
"'Broken Mirror'."
