Han Wanghuo slowly straightened his body and turned his head to look at Genava:

"This is indeed a method, but it may be difficult to find good equipment and doctors.

"If we really need to hold on for a while longer, we can consider it."

As he spoke, Han Wanghuo subconsciously glanced at Zeng Duo.

He could rely on a pacemaker to barely survive, but what about her?

...

"The chief of the 'Crystal Consciousness Church' just committed suicide by jumping off a building last night, no, cut off his physical body and return to the truth. Today, we found a draft left by him in a scripture, the content of which happens to be the secret we want to know, and he also thoughtfully wrote the title 'Five Great Sacred Sites'..." Jiang Baimian looked around and frowned slightly, "What do you think is the probability of such a coincidence happening?"

She used Ashlands language.

When communicating in this room, the "Old Task Force" used Ashlands language most of the time.

As for whether "telepathy" can be "blocked" by language, they had no idea.

Shang Jianyao immediately answered:

"Two answers:

"One, since it happened, it's 100%.

"Two, there is a 0.03% chance of such a coincidence occurring."

After saying that, he quickly added:

"I'm guessing."

Regardless of whether Shang Jianyao was just talking nonsense, in the hearts of Bai Chen and Long Yuehong, the probability of similar coincidences occurring was indeed so low that it could almost be ignored.

"Could it be that the chief deliberately left us this information?" Bai Chen guessed cautiously.

"Why?" Long Yuehong subconsciously asked.

Jiang Baimian couldn't answer for a moment, but Shang Jianyao nodded with a serious face:

"Because our goal is to save all mankind, and the chief's ideal is to save all living beings. Everyone has the same goals, so helping each other is normal."

"How do you know the chief's ideal is to save all living beings?" Long Yuehong asked back, amused and annoyed.

"I'm guessing," Shang Jianyao answered without hesitation.

Jiang Baimian thought for a while:

"We may have to ask Master Zenna Gage about this later."

She didn't say how to ask, and after waiting for a while and seeing that Zenna Gage didn't "reply," she smiled and said:

"Regardless of whether the 'Five Great Sacred Sites' on the paper are fake, they are interesting in themselves.

"You see..."

Hearing this familiar "catchphrase," Long Yuehong subconsciously shrank his body, feeling the urge to cover his ears.

Fortunately, he quickly woke up and quietly listened to his team leader's words:

"We haven't been to the Second Food Company of Tieshan City, the First Senior High School of Bingyuan Taicheng, or the old locust tree at the entrance of Linhu Village in Dajiang City. We don't know much about them, or even where the latter two are located, so let's not discuss them for now.

"The United Iron and Steel Plant of Changhe City should be the steel plant ruins in the Black Swamp Wilderness. That's why the mechanical monk Jingfa went there specifically to practice Chan Buddhism and pay respects to Buddha.

"And the Home Reproductive Medical Center in the Fahe District is clearly linked to the No. 13 Wasteland Site.

"In other words, these two major sacred sites have some strange things about them, hiding great secrets."

Long Yuehong nodded:

"But in the steel plant ruins, we didn't find anything except that medical record.

"Maybe the ruin hunters who explored it before took it away?"

The steel plant ruins in the Black Swamp Wilderness belonged to the type of ruins that had been "developed" completely, with only things that couldn't be moved, such as blast furnaces, and things that were obviously of no value remaining.

"Or maybe it's just that medical record?" Bai Chen guessed cautiously.

While nodding slightly, Jiang Baimian turned her head to look at Shang Jianyao:

"What are your thoughts?"

Shang Jianyao raised his hand and touched his chin:

"The monk said before that the five major sacred sites are the places where the Ruling Year 'Bodhi' and 'Zhuang Sheng' descended, the place of Nirvana, and the place where the Dharma was taught.

"This shows that the Ruling Years were once active on the earth? At least they believe so."

Jiang Baimian "Hmm"ed:

"So, the biggest secret hidden in these five major sacred sites is actually the whereabouts of certain people?

"If we find that someone from the Old World has been to three, or even two, of the five major sacred sites, that would be interesting..."

After a brief silence, Long Yuehong suddenly had a whim:

"Could the secret laboratory in the No. 13 Wasteland Site be the former Home Reproductive Medical Center in the Fahe District?"

"It's possible," Jiang Baimian said cautiously, "However, I think that although there is a high probability that there is a certain relationship between the two, they are not completely equivalent. The 'Crystal Consciousness Church' has always gone to the five major sacred sites to worship Buddha. It's impossible for them to ignore the one right at their doorstep, right? They shouldn't have mastered the passphrase to enter the secret laboratory at the No. 13 Wasteland Site either."

Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian smiled:

"After encountering the mechanical monk Jingfa before, I specifically read some Old World Buddhist scriptures. Combining this incident, I discovered a very interesting point.

"Do you remember the passphrase to the secret laboratory at the No. 13 Wasteland Site?"

She no longer cared whether Zenna Gage was currently using "telepathy" to eavesdrop.

"Messiah," Long Yuehong answered.

Jiang Baimian nodded slightly and said:

"In Buddhist scriptures, there is a future Buddha called Maitreya.

"And the etymology of 'Maitreya' and 'Messiah' is the same. In other words, they evolved from the same word in some ancient language of the Old World in different places.

"In addition, in the doctrines of the 'Crystal Consciousness Church' and the monastic orders, all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Wisdom Kings other than Bodhi and the World Sovereign Tathagata are incarnations of these two Ruling Years, including Maitreya."

This preliminarily linked the Home Reproductive Medical Center in the Fahe District, one of the five major sacred sites, to the secret laboratory at the No. 13 Wasteland Site.

Of course, there is also a high probability that this is a coincidence.

While the "Old Task Force" was discussing these matters, Garibaldi had recovered from his addiction.

He felt that he could understand every word, but he didn't know what it meant when they were put together.

Jiang Baimian and the others stopped at this point and didn't continue the related topics.

However, this was mainly because they had too little information at hand.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the monk delivering food knocked on the Old Task Force's door ahead of schedule.

"Where's the food?" Shang Jianyao, who was responsible for opening the door, looked down at the young monk's hands and said.

The young monk put his hands together and recited a Buddhist chant:

"I wonder if the benefactors would like to attend the chief's Nirvana ceremony?"

Cremation ceremony? Long Yuehong automatically translated in his mind.

Thinking of the piece of paper tucked in the scripture, Jiang Baimian nodded and said:

"This is precisely our wish."

Then, the "Old Task Force" left Garibaldi in the room and followed the young monk all the way down to the bottom of the Sika Luo Temple, arriving at the enclosed square attached to the back.

A strange, iron-black "tower" stood here.

At this time, many monks had gathered in the square, sitting cross-legged, either talking in low voices or practicing with their eyes closed.

Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and the others walked forward for a long distance before finally seeing Zenna Gage.

The almost skeletal Zenna Gage stood there, focused on the "Buddha Tower."

"Master," Shang Jianyao called out politely.

Zenna Gage turned sideways and nodded slightly.

Jiang Baimian suddenly remembered something and quickly said:

"Master, I have something I want to ask you to help with."

After saying that, she looked around, indicating that it was not convenient to talk here.

Zenna Gage held one hand in front of his chest and pointed to his chest with the other, indicating that "thinking" was enough.

Um, Master, two of my friends are suffering from terminal illnesses and urgently need treatment. One of our purposes for returning to the First City this time is for this. We have their blood samples and want to send them to a trusted medical institution or corresponding laboratory for testing, hoping to completely determine the condition and find better and more effective drugs... Jiang Baimian quickly organized her words in her mind.

What she meant was that the "Old Task Force" was currently being held at the Sika Luo Temple and had no way to do this.

Saving lives is like fighting a fire!

Zenna Gage recited a Buddhist chant:

"This matter can be entrusted to this monk."

"Thank you, Master," Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief and found a place to sit cross-legged with Shang Jianyao and the others.

Finding a medical institution through the "Crystal Consciousness Church" was much more reliable than if they came forward themselves or used the company's intelligence network.

As the sun set in the west, four monks carried out the corpse of the old monk from earlier.

His head had been treated and no longer looked hideous. Instead, it looked solemn and dignified. His body was coated with something that glowed with a faint golden color.

The four monks placed the chief's corpse in front of the iron-black strange tower, then dispersed around it and began to chant Buddhist scriptures.

Looking at the seated corpse, the monks in the square chanted the Buddhist scriptures in low voices:

"The Land of Ultimate Bliss is pure and solemn, without suffering, without hardship, without evil paths, without demonic disturbances, without the four seasons, day and night, cold and heat, rain and drought..."

In this chanting that was similar to, yet different from, the Old World Buddhist scriptures, Long Yuehong instinctively prepared to lower his head to show respect.

During this process, his gaze swept across the chief's corpse, across his face.

He found that on that golden, solemn face, there remained an unspeakable, irrepressible look of pain.

At the moment of jumping from the building, did the physiological pain overwhelm the crystal consciousness? As soon as Long Yuehong had this thought, he told himself in terror that he couldn't think nonsense anymore.

There were so many monks in this square who knew "telepathy"!

After a simple ceremony, the four monks beside the iron-black strange tower stepped forward again, opened the heavy "tower door," and carried the chief's corpse inside.

It was not until this moment that Jiang Baimian recognized that this was not a Buddha Tower at all, but a Cremation Tower!

Seeing the attitude of the surrounding monks who respectfully worshipped the Buddha, she felt that the Cremation Tower was also a tower, and there was no essential difference between it and a tower for smelting iron and steel. It could also enjoy the "stupa" treatment.

Smack!

The Cremation Tower door closed tightly, and the chief completely disappeared from this world.

When the Nirvana ceremony ended, Jiang Baimian once again found Zenna Gage and asked thoughtfully:

"Is the chief also good at 'prophecy'?"

Zenna Gage held one hand in front of his chest and turned his prayer beads with the other.

He was silent for a few seconds before saying:

"Yes."
