Jiang Baimian returned to the waiting area and walked to Shang Jianyaoâwho was lying on the sofa.
She extended out her psyche in an attempt to make contact with the other partyâs consciousness, but it was like a rock sinking into the sea without causing any ripples.
The familiar darkness and faint light were gone! This was the first time such a situation had happened.
Jiang Baimian frowned and confirmed Shang Jianyaoâs condition. She didnât see anything abnormal.
Could it be that he isnât able to contact the outside world after pushing open the blood-red door and entering the room where all of Master Zhuangâs personalities are?
?Jiang Baimian ruminated.
She forced herself to calm down and planned on making an attempt every minute to prevent the scenario where Shang Jianyao was temporarily delayed by certain factors and not completely isolated.
If ten attempts met with failure or if the anomaly in the machine spread, she would decisively take action according to her judgment.
After eight minutes, Jiang Baimian spread her psyche to Shang Jianyao for the eighth time.
What cheered her up was that the familiar darkness appeared in front of her eyes again. A faint glow then condensed, illuminating Shang Jianyaoâs figure.
Phew�
Jiang Baimian exhaled and said, âThere are large and complicated machines in the core experimental area, but the situation doesnât seem right.â
She went straight to the point.
âDoesnât seem right means itâs right!â Shang Jianyao wasnât surprised at all. âListen to me firstâŠâ
He recounted what Master Zhuang had said and spoke quickly like a machine gun.
......
Having completely confirmed that he had someone backing him and that he wouldnât suffer any blow by revealing information, he gave up on the secret message system they had previously constructed and used the most direct method that didnât require any further conversion.
This could save a lot of time.
âUnfortunately, I donât know Mind Reading. Otherwise, I could pack and compress the more detailed content and send it to you directly.â Finally, Shang Jianyao sighed with regret.
Jiang Baimian quietly listened and sighed with a solemn expression. âThe arrow is already on the bow; we have no choice but to fire.â
She then added, âThe situation described by Teacher Du Heng is basically the same as what I saw in the core experimental area. On this point, he shouldnât be lying.â
âBesides, what he did will clearly kill him.â Shang Jianyao believed Du Heng based on this simple reason. He didnât dare to say anything else, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with this matter.
After he and Jiang Baimian carried out the series of operations, the nuclear bomb would be detonated, and this place would be leveled. None of the Kalendariumâincluding Du Hengâwho relied on the biological chips to live in the New World would survive.
As Master Zhuang and the New Worldâs controller, Du Heng was willing to sacrifice his life for this matter. His goal was definitely not to drag the entire Ashlands down with him.
Since there was nothing wrong with his goal, there wouldnât be much of a problem elsewhere.
âWhat if Teacher Du Heng has a strong inclination to self-destruct?â Jiang Baimian asked.
Shang Jianyao calmly said, âIf thatâs the case, thereâs no way to hide it. How can Truth and the others not use this reason to persuade me?â
At this point, he sighed dejectedly. âOnce the nuclear bomb explodes, Jacob and the other New World powerhouses will die with the Kalendariumâs consciousness.â
They were all good people he had certified.
âBefore the nuclear bomb explodes, Big Boss and the other Kalendarium will definitely resist with all their might. When the time comes, the New Worldâs order will collapse, and the barrier will weaken. As long as Jacob and the others can seize the opportunity, they still have a chance of returning to the Ashlands safely.â
The premise was that they still had bodies.
âBut if that happens, Wu Meng and the other baddies will also escape.â Shang Jianyao was in a dilemma.
Jiang Baimian couldnât help but laugh. âHave you deeply experienced the feelings of those who want to maintain the status quo?â
Her expression then turned solemn. âHow can the world be so perfect? How can all kinds of problems be considered and have everything tied up in a neat little bow? Most of the time, we make choices between bad and worse.â
Shang Jianyao fell silent for a moment before saying, âI understand.â
He then said, âBig Boss and the others are about to storm in. Quickly bring my body to the core research area and use that machineâs Deityâs Forbidden Zone to deliver the final stimulus.â
Jiang Baimian didnât answer immediately. She looked at Shang Jianyaoâs face, and her lips quivered a few times.
After a while, she asked in a deep voice, âAre you really sure about this? Once the nuclear bomb detonates, thereâs no turning back.â
When the time came, even if she carried Shang Jianyaoâs body out of the explosion range, the best outcome for him was to be in the same state as Li Hui and Jiang Xiaoyue back then once his consciousness was destroyedâa vegetative state.
Furthermore, Li Hui and Jiang Xiaoyue might not have completely lost their consciousness after being injured. If Shang Jianyao really did that, there was a high chance that he would be brain dead.
Shang Jianyao immediately laughed, revealing two rows of white teeth. âAs you just said, the arrow is already on the bow; it has to be fired. Besides, I might not necessarily die. Even if I become a vegetable, as a New World-level Awakened, it will definitely be easier for me to regain consciousness or give birth to a new one than how it was for Li Hui and Jiang Xiaoyue back then.â
Jiang Baimian clasped her lips and didnât say a word. After a brief silence, she said solemnly, âTime is of the essence. Letâs begin now.
âOh right, give Little Red and Little White a signal and get them to begin taking action. Once Big Boss is prepared to risk her life, Iâm worried that she will extract the human consciousness of all the employees in the building to replenish herself, just like what happened to the Fourth Research Institute back then.â
From the looks of it, Dawn wasnât hiding in the room deep in the Fourth Research Institute. Instead, it was a body that the Kalendaria had prepared for him through the Fourth Institute. Every time he needed to eat, he would get the higher-ups of the Fourth Institute to send some humans in.
After that, perhaps something went wrong in a particular uprising. In order to survive, Dawn had no choice but to drain his food reserves. Only Room 506âs ownerâwho was protected by Master Zhuangâsurvived.
âAlright!â Shang Jianyao didnât forget about informing Long Yuehong and Bai Chen.
He and Jiang Baimian deliberately didnât mention anything else.
That was, Big Boss would risk her life, but wouldnât Eidolon Nun and the others? When the time came, there would probably be another Heartless outbreak in the Ashlands.
In the face of such a situation, Jiang Baimian could only hope that Master Zhuang could resolve the problem as soon as possible and control the damage suffered by the innocent to a certain extent.
She knew that Shang Jianyao probably thought the sameâthe lesser of two evils.
After the exchange, Jiang Baimian stood up and looked at Shang Jianyaoâs body on the sofa before looking at the core research area where the New World fundamentally was.
She didnât do anything for more than ten seconds, and her figure swayed slightly from the strange wind that blew out.
Gritting her teeth, Jiang Baimian carried Shang Jianyao on her back again, picked up the nuclear warhead, identified the direction, and ran toward the machine.
Pangu Biology, underground building, Room 14 on the 647th floor.
Long Yuehongâwho was using the Old Worldâs entertainment to kill timeâsuddenly heard Shang Jianyaoâs voice.?
âI have something very serious to tell youâŠâ
Long Yuehong took out the recording pen from his pocket.
The electronic product automatically activated and played the recording! This was equivalent to telling Long Yuehong and Bai Chen to take action immediately and follow the plan.
Long Yuehong quickly switched off the recording pen and cast his gaze at Bai Chen.
Bai Chen nodded slightly.
The two of them stood up and walked to the door.
During this process, Long Yuehong inevitably thought of somethingâtheir preparations werenât done. The field training they had applied for had just been approved and had yet to begin. This gave them no chance to inform Genavaâwho had already arrived in the area around Pangu Biologyâto lurk near the underground building and await the provision of help.
Nothing is perfectâŠ
?Long Yuehong could only comfort himself.
The two of them came to the door. Bai Chen stretched out her right hand and gripped Long Yuehongâs left palm.
They looked at each other without any hesitation.
Destination: Radio Station!
In the room behind the blood-red door, the ceiling, floor, and surrounding walls turned illusory. Red, yellow, and blue lights flickered rapidly in an abnormally intense manner.
Du Hengâs gaze passed Shang Jianyao and looked at his other self that was filled with the desire for research.
In the corresponding room, the cheerful Shang Jianyao was watching Du Hengâs experiment with an eager expression.
At this moment, the door not far from them suddenly turned illusory, imprinting countless warped figures. They were like the deepest and darkest nightmares.
Du Heng pointed there, sighed, and smiled. âDawnâmy good assistant and direct supervisor of the project, Oak. I remember that he liked to hold conferences and discussions very much and was obsessed with the feeling he got from brainstorming. His flaw is that he will fall into a deep coma every once in a while.
âOf course, donât expect to use this opportunity this time. The time for their uprising has clearly taken Oak into account. Oak probably just woke up not long ago.â
