317 urn
It's out
Bai Cheng gave a positive answer, but Zhu Ning was skeptical and asked, "Why are you so sure? Have you been to the Kingdom of God?"
Bai Cheng glanced at Zhu Ning. Perhaps this explanation was too troublesome. Bai Cheng, whose tongue had just grown out, was unwilling to give a long explanation. She could pass all the federal machine tests.
Pei Shu trusted Bai Cheng's judgment, as he understood the Federation's operations better than Zhu Ning did. He paused and said, "Our current pollution detection methods are roughly divided into two categories. The first is the mental state measurement. Those with weak mental defenses will naturally collapse when entering the customs."
"The second type involves pollution-induced testing to see if the pollution in your body reacts to the test. These two types are the most widely used because we initially assumed that pollution would cause instability, leading to mental and physical breakdowns and inability to maintain a consistent state for long."
"But it's broken now?" Zhu Ning took over Pei Shu's words.
Pei Shu nodded. There were ready-made examples right in front of him: Bai Cheng and Lin Xiaofeng. They were both extremely stable at heart, and were closely connected to pollution both psychologically and physically.
Humans identify pollution much like they identify robots in a crowd.
Pei Shu: "I believe Bai Cheng can pass the current security technology, but the Divine Kingdom's defenses are different from other places. They have an additional human test."
The defense of the Kingdom of God is the strictest. Apart from the defense network, the most difficult to deal with are actually the inspectors who are responsible for detection.
Zhu Ning: "Like the Turing test?"
"Pretty much. Prometheus should be in charge of this work. At least the data is aggregated with him."
Therefore, most instruments are ineffective against them. The last level to enter the Kingdom of God is a man-made level, which allows for room for manipulation.
Either Liu Yu was really good enough to pass all the tests, or she was brought up there by someone and the Lu family helped her cheat.
Zhu Ning's eyes flashed with the light of data, and a picture unfolded in his mind. Bai Cheng, this new species, let's call them fusion creatures for the time being. Zhu Ning seemed to see an evolutionary chain in front of him.
There are pollutants that have no reason at all, and pollutants that can maintain their reason, that is, the mutants. The parallel link is the non-natural humans, and the next layer is the fusion, which is simply the perfect evolutionary product.
Zhu Ning had only been out of the wall for a few days, and he was almost about to agree with the ideas of the Recovery Society. If the world really became a polluted world in the future, all the walls should be torn down and species around the world should be integrated.
This line of thought is very smooth, but there is a problem. The Alpha series of experiments seem to be contrary to this evolutionary chain. The trend of the entire world is great integration, and Zhu Ning’s top-level goal is to purify the world.
Is Zhu Ning an outdated experimental subject? If so, why is Zhu Yao still developing her? This is simply going against the trend of the times.
Zhu Ning wanted to take a look in the direction of the wall, but there were only graves outside, and she didn't even know where the high wall was.
After leaving the wall, her perception of the world was refreshed again, as if she was re-examining her previous life in Area 103 from a third-person perspective, as if she were in a transparent jar.
All resistance seems meaningless in the face of nature.
There was no way to rest in the single tent, so Zhu Ning asked Bai Cheng to rest there for a while, thinking that he would carry her down the mountain later. Unexpectedly, Bai Cheng recovered much faster.
An hour later, she was walking briskly as if walking on flat ground. Her speech was still mechanical, but no longer halting.
But then again, if Bai Cheng had been weak for such a long time every time he was resurrected, he might have died.
They packed up the tent, but Bai Cheng didn't leave immediately. Because of Zhu Ning's commotion, the Guitou Cemetery was in a mess, with dug graves everywhere.
Bai Cheng glanced up at the sky, his face expressionless. He clenched his fingers in mid-air, and the rotten corpse that had emerged slowly sank. When Bai Cheng moved, paper money and garlands were flying around him. Although he was wearing simple black clothes, Zhu Ning felt that Bai Cheng was like the god of death in the new world.
They got on the flying car, planning to rest there today and continue their journey tomorrow.
As the car door closed, Zhu Ning suddenly remembered, "I almost forgot about the Songshan Temple incident."
Zhu Ning fumbled around on herself. She had always carried Chen Qihang's notebook with her, and she was just about to meet Bai Cheng to verify it. She asked, "Are there any rules in Songshan Temple?"
Pei Shu almost forgot whether they had triggered the rules of Songshan Temple?
Bai Cheng thought for a moment and said, "I only know one thing: don't burn incense to Buddha statues."
Burn incense?
Bai Cheng didn't know much about Songshan Temple. Generally, polluted areas would have many rules and regulations. She had rested in Songshan Temple three times and everything was fine.
At that time, Prometheus was chasing him and Zhu Ning was quickly broken into two pieces. Bai Cheng died before she could tell him anything, but she didn't expect there would be any danger. After all, Zhu Ning and the others didn't seem like they would seek death by burning incense in a temple in the wilderness.
Bai Cheng: "What? Did you burn incense?"
Zhu Ning paused, certain that none of the four members of his team had burned incense. Could there have been a fifth person in Songshan Temple? Had he triggered the rules?
But it couldn't be such a coincidence that it happened right after Zhu Ning finished reading Chen Qihang's notebook? And wouldn't he have gotten himself into trouble by triggering the rules? Who would kill someone so deviously?
Zhu Ning stared at Chen Qihang's notebook. This thing really exuded malice. She had opened it several times, and it seemed to bring bad luck every time.
As soon as Songshan Temple opened, the sound of coins rolling was heard.
It wasn’t long after Homecoming opened that it started to rain.
At that time, Zhu Ning did not associate the rain with the notebook. After all, they checked the weather forecast when they went out and the northern region entered the rainy season.
If you think about it carefully, you will feel something is wrong. Why would Fu Xiuhui come to get the urn on a rainy day? At least when Fu Xiuhui got on the car, he thought it would not rain.
The weather outside the wall is changeable, and it is normal for it to be cloudy or sunny.
So that heavy rainstorm was also caused by the laptop? Is Chen Qihang's ability so powerful that he can even change the weather?
If it is true, then the level of danger created by the notebook is not low each time, which is equivalent to rising by two levels.
Bai Cheng didn't know what happened during her death. Zhu Ning briefly told her about it. In fact, he really wanted to try it again, but it might cause new dangers.
After listening to Zhu Ning's words, Bai Cheng became a little curious about the notebook.
Zhu Ning concluded: "Open the notebook and you'll see your investigation notes. The contents of the notes may not be useful, but they will definitely increase the risk."
Following Bai Cheng's clues, Zhu Ning summarized the characteristics of Chen Qihang's notebook, so opening the notebook became like gambling.
As expected, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Zhu Ning changed the subject and said, "Let's think about it another way. If there's an enemy in the contaminated area, I can open my notebook to increase the danger level and die with him."
Pei Shu: “…”
He even wanted to stand up and applaud Zhu Ning. What a weird idea.
"Okay, take a break." Zhu Ning wrapped up the notebook and put it away, planning to report the new information to Huo Wenxi when there was a signal.
At least their trip was not in vain. They verified the notebook and found their teammates.
The car was quite spacious, with four reclining chairs folded down. It was pitch black outside the window and there were no lights on inside the car. Zhu Ning was covered with a blanket and could hear the breathing of the remaining three people. He knew that they were not asleep and wondered what they were thinking.
After doing such an exciting job as digging graves, it was indeed difficult to sleep. Zhu Ning opened the upper sunshade and looked at the night sky through a layer of glass. There were no stars, only depressing black clouds.
Zhu Ning looked at him for a while and asked softly, "Are you conscious while lying there?"
Zhu Ning didn't mention any names, but Bai Cheng answered her, "Yes, it's almost like being buried alive."
Zhu Ning was silent for a moment. Bai Cheng's words seemed particularly natural, as if being buried alive was a small matter. What on earth had she been through?
Pei Shu: "Who came to poach you before?"
Bai Cheng: "I will keep one for myself."
No wonder there were two Bai Chengs when they first appeared. When encountering danger, one person usually resists while the other escapes, so that a new Bai Cheng can be dug out.
Logically speaking, Bai Cheng would not sacrifice both bodies. The last time was an accident, so she had to tell Pei Shu before she died. Fortunately, they really came to dig her out.
Zhu Ning felt that she was very lonely, so she just lay on the ground, waiting for someone to find her. Fortunately, Zhu Ning was not delayed on the way and arrived quickly.
Zhu Ning: "Do you want to find another one?"
Bai Cheng nodded. She was used to carrying another self on her back, which made her feel safer.
Zhu Ning asked, "Did you agree to my order because you wanted to find your memories?"
"Yes," Bai Cheng said. In fact, only the memories of the past ten years are relatively clear. The memories before that are very similar to those of his previous life. "I feel that the answer lies in the north."
Bai Cheng is not interested in the kingdom of God. The only thing she is interested in is her place of origin.
The North, everyone’s destination is the North.
Bai Cheng turned his head to the left, facing Pei Shu: "Why are you following Zhu Ning?"
This was the first time Bai Cheng asked a question, his tone mechanical and strange. Pei Shu said, "I was captured."
Zhu Ning: "If you don't want me to, I can arrest you."
Pei Shu is an old hand. It is easy for him to get rid of Zhu Ning outside the wall, and he may even end up hurting himself.
Pei Shu was silent for a moment, "I'm going to treat the disease, you don't understand."
Zhu Ning didn't bother to ask. She really didn't understand the world of mental illness. Pei Shu suddenly said lightly, "By the way, if I go crazy, remember to control myself."
Zhu Ning stopped pulling the blanket and looked at Pei Shu in the rearview mirror. Pei Shu looked quite insecure, curled up and sleeping facing the door. His expression was normal when he said this, and there was still magma in his broken eyeball.
Zhu Ning didn't ask why Pei Shu went crazy, and agreed. She was the captain, and she would definitely be able to control her teammates if they went crazy.
The bedtime chat was over, and no one asked any more questions. Zhu Ning had already closed his eyes and was ready to sleep. In the darkness, Pei Shu suddenly said, "Do you really want to kill Prometheus?"
Pei Shu didn't hear Zhu Ning's answer and thought she was asleep. He whispered to himself, what if he was the good one?
Prometheus knows far more information than all of them, but he still chooses to maintain this system. Is it because he sees through everything and, with his super computing power, he finds that in this chaotic and crazy world, such a federation is the optimal solution.
If even this thing is broken, human beings will fall into complete madness and be unable to extricate themselves.
Is he using his abilities to protect humans? After all, humans are so fragile that they will only be slaughtered if they come face to face with pollutants.
Zhu Ning didn't answer, holding the pendant in his hand. Xu Meng's contaminated spores were hitting the transparent barrier. When Zhu Ning put his fingertips on it, it would swim over.
She closed her eyes, placed the pendant against her heart, as if she could feel Xu Meng's heartbeat.
She wanted to kill Prometheus.
Even if he endured humiliation for the sake of all mankind, she would still kill Prometheus. This was a personal grudge.
…
A flying car.
Li Xiu had just gotten off the Homecoming Train and immediately found the flying car he had hidden in advance while holding the urn. He did not stay there for long.
It would have been better for Zhu Ning to die in the car. It wouldn't have been a loss for him if he didn't die, as Li Xiugang had already completed his mission.
It was not him who was responsible for getting the urn that year, but another team was. But for some reason they went wrong. They had gotten it and reported it to the headquarters. The mission was successful and the only thing left was to escort it back.
Then there was no news about that team, as if they had evaporated into thin air, and the Revival Society almost thought they had rebelled.
After much investigation, we only knew that they finally boarded the Homecoming Train with the urn.
No one knows why he suddenly got on the car. Was he attacked by pollutants? Or was he fleeing from his enemies?
We reorganized our team to investigate the clues, and wasted time going to the Homecoming to get things. Many people died, but fortunately we were successful this time.
Li Xiugang wiped the urn with his sleeve, wiping off the blood and some dirt, and finally placed it on the passenger seat. While driving, he glanced at the urn out of the corner of his eye, fearing that there would be any mistakes.
Gradually, his gaze began to change, first with worry, then almost with greed.
His hands on the steering wheel trembled unconsciously, and he couldn't tell whether he was excited or afraid. Ever since the urn was put into the car, he felt unwell all over and wanted to jump out of the car immediately, but a voice on the other side told him.
Open it, open it now.
Li Xiugang knew that he was being affected by mental pollution, and the Homecoming was most likely a very suitable safe. After leaving the safe, the urn became more and more weird.
But he was loyal to the Resurrection Society and had to send it to the right place. He licked his dry lips. Below him was all abandoned land. It was getting there, and it would be there soon.
He had already seen the bright light of the lighthouse in the distance, and his attention was drawn away a little, so he stepped on the accelerator.
Suddenly, he heard a slight click. There was no one else in the car except him, and the only thing that could be moved was the urn.
His ability is pressure, not defense, so of course he would be afraid of unknown attacks.
At that time, his heart was beating extremely fast, and he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, which was the fastest speed.
But he was no faster than that thing. With a click, the sticky tentacle-like thing pushed a small hole into the urn.
It came out.
