Embers Ad Infinitum - Vol 2.4 Chapter 10

“I’m also very interested.” Shang Jianyao said that there is nothing strange about this, “It’s just that those books look very professional, and I will study them when I have time.

Jiang Baimian didn’t care about his response at all, and said to himself:

“Combining with the intelligence we have collected before, I suspect that the awakening of humans and the forbidden zone of the gods are the products of old world scientists studying the mysteries of consciousness.

“Well, the real direction of the Eighth Research Institute is probably the mystery of human consciousness, not how to awaken. The latter is a side result. Lin Sui has been identified as a young scientist of the North Company, a member of the major project committee, and his name appeared in Hom again. In the academic lecture on the frontier of genetic research at the Reproductive Medical Center, Mr. Du Heng, who is suspected to be the director of the Eighth Research Institute, is very likely to be one of the key researchers of the Eighth Research Institute.

“I originally suspected that she was one of the Vice-President’s, Charlie’, Doctor’s, and lived near the tower. I didn’t expect you to find her home on the street away from the core area and saw her photo.”

She didn’t mention “Professor Li” because Lin Sui’s surname was Lin.

“Not necessarily.” The honest Shang Jianyao retorted, “Maybe this compound does not belong to Lin Sui, and the owner is another researcher in the Eighth Research Institute who has a crush on her.”

He agreed with Jiang Baimian’s speculation on the previous part.

Jiang Baimian thought about it seriously and said:

“It’s not impossible.”

Shang Jianyao was instantly triumphant:

“When the old world was destroyed, the owner of the courtyard died, but his secret love and obsession with Lin Sui kept him alive and turned into a ghost, wandering in the new world’s home.

“Those little movements I heard were from him!”

“But didn’t you just say that the woo woo cry sounds like it came from a woman?” Jiang Baimian asked rhetorically.

Shang Jianyao was stunned for a second and said:

“Who says women can’t have a crush on women?”

He was righteous.

Jiang Baimian was speechless.

At this time, Shang Jianyao’s thinking jumped and changed the topic:

“I think even if Lin Sui is really still alive, he is one of the new world’s powerhouses in the Eighth Research Institute.

The other “New World” powerhouses in the Eighth Academy were promoted one by one several years after the destruction of the old world.

“Why did you exclude the vice president’?” Jiang Baimian asked.

Shang Jianyao answered confidently:

“The vice president’ should be Oak, who is the vice president of the Northern Company and the deputy director of the Major Projects Committee.”

The relationship between the Northern Company and the Eighth Research Institute is now self-evident.

Jiang Baimian gave an “um” and stopped discussing this topic that had no other clues for the time being.

Considering the mental consumption, she said to Shang Jian Yao:

“Next, I want you to help me visit two places.”

“Which two places?” Shang Jianyao didn’t act like Jiang Baimian asked him to do it, but he volunteered himself.

Although Jiang Baimian was a lunatic, his memory was quite good, and he was helped by an auxiliary chip and a military exoskeleton device system, and he quickly realized the part of the streets and buildings that he had explored and observed tonight.

Of course, during this process, she inevitably had some confusion in her memory. After all, she had lost her way in many places, and she was not sure.

But there are complete records inside the auxiliary chip, the military exoskeleton device, and even the nighttime photos she took when she was condescending.

She pointed to a place and said:

“You go to the corresponding location in the new world to see what buildings are there and what’s abnormal inside.

“When I tried to jump to the roof against its wall, I went straight through that wall…

Jiang Baimian briefly explained his experience, including the fact that the building turned into a real thing in the end.

Shang Jianyao’s eyes lit up when he heard it, and he looked like it was a pity he didn’t experience it personally.

“Okay, I’ll take a look later.” He agreed immediately.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Baimian pointed to another location:

“Here is the light on the outermost periphery of the real tower. You go to the corresponding place in the ‘New World’ to investigate who lives there or what buildings are there.”

Shang Jianyao made two “hmm” sounds, carefully remembering the specific locations of the two locations, and comparing them with the layout of “New World”.

After he finished the work, Jiang Baimian ended the exchange.

Shang Jianyao immediately walked to the two bookcases, took out all the books related to human consciousness, and quickly flipped through them.

He didn’t look at the content in detail, but just checked whether there was a note in it, and whether there were any notes written in the blanks of the pages.

It took nearly half an hour of work, but nothing was found.

He turned to another room and searched carefully.

Although this is likely to be useless, Shang Jianyao’s patience is surprisingly good at certain times, so good that it is abnormal.

Finally, after finding nothing, he left the courtyard, identified the direction, and looked for the first location given by Jiang Baimian.

Shang Jianyao, who has never been an idiot, bypassed several streets with many lights, and it didn’t take long to reach the corresponding location.

What appeared in front of him was a small square with elegant stone pillars and statues with their own characteristics.

Those statues belong to the sages of the old world, there are people from the gray soil, and there are people from the Red River. Shang Jianyao has seen them in textbooks and entertainment materials.

“It’s nothing weird,” Shang Jianyao muttered to himself in disappointment after passing an N between the statue and the stone pillar, and reaching out to touch their surfaces.

The sinister Shang Jianyao sneered at his companion:

“If the New World’s secrets were discovered so easily, would it still be our turn?”

“Yes, yes.” Shang Jianyao agreed.

They took note of the situation here, and moved to the second location Jiang Baimian said, which was the street corresponding to the light on the outermost periphery of the tower in reality.

As before, Shang Jianyao walked in the dark and tried to stay away from places with lights, lest communication with people would slow down his exploration.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally reached the entrance of the street and looked at the target location.

There stands a gray-blue four-story building, the overall style is quite old.

On the top floor of the building, a bright fluorescent lamp was “on”, but no figure was reflected on the window.

“There are lights here too,” Shang Jianyao said to himself while stepping back.

The reckless Shang Jian Yao asked dissatisfiedly:

“Why don’t you just go over there?”

Because of the matter of the compound, he encountered a joint suppression.

“Who knows whether the person who lives inside is a friendly person like Jacob, or a demon who wants to find more batteries. We have to observe carefully for a while before making a decision.” The sinister Shang Jianyao replied angrily.

The calm and rational Shang Jian Yao rubbed his chin:

“We’re looking for a house where we can see what’s going on in front of the target location, but not too close to be noticed.

“Then, observe the visitor and determine the identity of the host.”

“How can you be sure?” Shang Jianyao, who attaches importance to feelings, asked suspiciously, “We may not know those visitors.”

The sinister Shang Jianyao smiled “hehe”:

“Observe whether the visitor is single when they leave. If there is only one person, find an opportunity to keep up, become a ‘friend, and determine the identity of the owner from his mouth~www.mtlnovel.com~ How can you track it without being discovered?” Shang Jianyao pointed to the street lamp that was lit above his head.

All Shang Jianyao fell into silence at the same time.

In the end, the reckless Shang Jianyao made a final decision:

“Observe first and then talk!”

They observed the terrain, entered a high-rise building ruled by darkness at the intersection, and went up to the sixth floor.

The fluorescent lamps in the corresponding windows are then turned on.

Shang Jianyao stood in a hidden place, and observed the target location diagonally across from the glass window.

He tried to hide his human consciousness, but it didn’t work.

Jiang Baimian stood up and glanced at Shang Jianyao, who was lying against the wall, and the crate containing the nuclear warhead. One thought after another flashed in his mind.

Soon, she made a decision and planned to move all the supplies in the jeep here.

This effectively saves her time traveling between tunnels and jeeps, allowing her to focus more on exploring the small city.

At the same time, this can directly reduce the number of getting lost.

“Huh.” Jiang Baimian sighed and laughed at himself, “Actually, I don’t need to take risks to explore at all, I should wait until I have gained something, and when the fog shrouded in the information has dissipated more, I will try again. But I really don’t want to drag my feet, and the abnormality found outside,

The clues you find have a good chance of helping you.”

After convincing himself for a while, Jiang Baimian still wore the military exoskeleton device and went outside the Eighth Research Institute.

After getting lost again and again, she moved all the supplies to Shang Jianyao and the nuclear warhead, and hid the jeep in a hidden place outside.

After doing all this, she found a place to recharge, sat against the wall, and entered the “Sea of ​​Origins”.

In the shimmering ocean, Jiang Baimian continued to swim towards the illusory distance
