That black market merchant smiled and said:

"Don't rush, come with me to draw some blood and do a check to see if a match is successful after a few days. If not, meeting a volunteer donor now would be quite embarrassing, wouldn't it? And it could easily expose my source channels."

"Alright." Han Wanghuo didn't think there was any problem with that.

He wasn't too worried about exposing his Subhuman status, because in a sense, the black market merchants, black clinic doctors, and arms dealers of Antana Street had achieved equality for all, treating everyone the same. In short, whether you're a normal human or a mutated Subhuman, you're welcome if you have money, resources, and strength. If you don't have money, resources, or strength, get lost. As for those who have money and resources but no strength, everyone just *hehehe* together.

The organ merchant led Han Wanghuo towards a room behind him, saying casually:

"Let me introduce myself, Yan Miao, always been talkative since I was a kid, don't mind it. What's your name?"

Han Wanghuo glanced cautiously at the black market merchant, without answering.

Yan Miao laughed heartily:

"I just want to make a friend with you.

"Although good people like you are almost extinct in the graylands, I don't plan to develop in that direction. But making friends, that's really great, do you understand Grayland language? Hmm, you should be willing to go to great lengths for a friend."

He switched to Grayland language for the last sentence.

Han Wanghuo looked straight ahead, walking at a steady pace:

"You think too highly of me."

"Anyway, I won't lose anything by making a friend, at most I'll give you a discount." Yan Miao chuckled softly, "And at critical moments, a friend can be used to block bullets, no, to save lives."

He acted like he just wanted to make a friend on the surface.

For some reason, Han Wanghuo thought of someone.

Although that person had completely different characteristics from Yan Miao, he was also talkative.

...

"Such a big fish!" Shang Jianyao exclaimed in amazement, looking at the fish skewered on the grill in front of him.

The fish was about as long as Long Yuehong's arm.

At this moment, the five members of the "Old Task Force" had followed Du Heng to a grilled fish restaurant in the Red Giants District.

Du Heng introduced with a smile:

"This comes from Lake Alna in the middle reaches of the Taiwei River. Before the 'First City' expanded its power there, no one had set foot there for decades. The fish all grew fat and big, and the accumulated pollutants are very few.

"Originally, only people in the Olive Green District loved to eat fish. Now, the Red Giants District and the Golden Wheat District also have this custom."

Speaking of this, he added with a meaningful tone:

"After all, it's relatively cheap and easy to obtain."

His habit of playing the role of a teacher hasn't changed... Jiang Baimian was quite gratified.

This meant that he might be able to ask for a lot of important information later.

Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong's attention was all on the grill, watching the chef turn the big fish from time to time and apply seasonings.

"It seems you've also experienced a lot of things." Du Heng's gaze swept over the five members of the "Old Task Force," and he said with sincere emotion, "You've grown up quite quickly."

Jiang Baimian glanced at the chef in charge of grilling the fish:

"Yeah."

Her unspoken meaning was that it was a pity that there were outsiders here, otherwise she could share her and others' experiences during this period.

"Why don't you just use Grayland language?" Du Heng laughed, "Besides, he can only hear what I want him to hear."

He still used Red River language, but the chef turned a deaf ear, as if only he was left in the world to grill the fish.

*Pa pa pa*, Shang Jianyao applauded Du Heng, this mysterious powerhouse.

"Your performance reminds me of an old friend." Du Heng laughed without being surprised, "But I can't remember who he is."

*The cost was related to memory?* Jiang Baimian grumbled inwardly.

She then roughly recounted her and others' experiences in Weed City, Red Stone Town, and Talnan.

Although she focused on sharing the folk customs of different places, she still mentioned Yan Hu's state, the "New World," Jiang Xiaoyue's problem, Room 503, and what DiMarco had done.

This included the part of the content that the "Old Task Force" had not reported to "Pangu Biology."

Jiang Baimian deeply understood the principle of "if you want to take, you must first give," knowing that if you want to inquire about key knowledge from Du Heng without offending him, it is best to be open and honest, and exchange "equivalent" value.

The main parts she concealed were the changes in Shang Jianyao's strength, and the equipment acquired by the Old Task Force, including two exoskeletons, the "Destiny Bead" and the "Ring of Blindness."

During Jiang Baimian's narration, Shang Jianyao cooperated very well, often interjecting, talking endlessly about some less important details. Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Genaver also chimed in from time to time, striving to create an open and harmonious communication environment.

Du Heng maintained a state of occasionally asking a few questions, and only after the "Old Task Force" had finished sharing their experiences did he nod lightly and smile:

"If I weren't not yet senile, I would have suspected that our last meeting was a few years ago. You've had a really wonderful time during this period.

"Some of these experiences are still quite useful to me, further convincing me that the path I am taking now may be the most correct one.

"Speak, what do you want to ask?"

He looked like he had seen through Jiang Baimian's little thoughts.

While Jiang Baimian almost forced a dry laugh, Shang Jianyao asked directly:

"Teacher, at the end of the 'Sea of Origins,' how should one overcome oneself?"

*Teacher?* Ho, this relationship climbing is too fast, right? Jiang Baimian found it amusing.

Long Yuehong also had similar thoughts.

On the other hand, Bai Chen and Genaver didn't care about this point at all, and were more looking forward to Du Heng's answer.

Du Heng glanced at the gradually changing color of the grilled fish, waved his hand with a smile:

"I don't take disciples. I can't afford to be called teacher.

"However, you can add a name and call me Teacher Du Heng. This is a respectful title in the Old World."

*You're clearly enjoying it...* Jiang Baimian tightly closed her mouth, afraid that her slander would accidentally be spoken out.

Without waiting for Shang Jianyao to call again, Du Heng cleared his throat and said:

"The self at the end of the 'Sea of Origins' is often an extreme version of you. This may come from certain events, certain experiences, certain pains, or it may stem from another side that you have always suppressed.

"Overcoming oneself is very difficult. More people choose to reconcile, accept, and control him to a certain extent.

"I am not you, and I cannot make choices for you, but both directions can be tried."

Shang Jianyao fell into deep thought, wondering what strange plan he was planning.

Jiang Baimian took the opportunity to ask:

"Teacher Du Heng, what is the significance of those room numbers in the Mind Corridor, what do they represent?"

*Uh, the team leader is also calling him Teacher Du Heng... Isn't she embarrassed?* Long Yuehong, who was listening in, felt a little speechless.

Du Heng stroked the beard around his mouth, saying with a hint of smugness:

"You can say you asked the right person.

"Many Awakened ones at the 'Mind Corridor' level have explored for decades and may not have figured out the rules of those door numbers."

*He really knows...* Bai Chen, who was listening quietly, muttered in his heart, and didn't dare to take her attention away at all.

Du Heng looked at Shang Jianyao, who had "come back to his senses," and said with a smile:

"According to my research, the first number of each door number represents a different Ruling Star, reflected as the month they preside over."

"So that's how it is..." Jiang Baimian had actually made similar guesses, but she had too many divergent thoughts in this regard, imagined more answers, and lacked effective clues, so she couldn't analyze further.

"'503' represents the third room in the domain of the May Ruling Star 'Overseer'?" Bai Chen asked tentatively.

This was "Jiang Xiaoyue"'s room, the room that was very likely to cause the "Mirage Dragon Sect" and the "Dream Protectors" to be infected with the "Heartless Disease."

"Yes, but the order of the rooms is actually irregular. You can't assume that '501' directly represents the 'Overseer's' dream." Du Heng explained.

"What about Zhuang Sheng's? 13 or 0?" Shang Jianyao asked further.

Du Heng shook his head, smiling and said:

"Zhuang Sheng's may be 1, may be 2, or it may be any number from 1 to 12. Well, in short, '503' may not necessarily represent the third room in the domain of the May Ruling Star 'Overseer', it may also be a room in the 'Zhuang Sheng' domain."

"Is this the special nature of the Annual Ruling Star?" Jiang Baimian suddenly realized, "Looking at it this way, the last room Yan Hu entered may not be in the 'Bodhi' domain, it may also be in the 'Zhuang Sheng' domain."

The last room Yan Hu explored was "102."

At this time, Genaver, who had finished analyzing, raised his own question:

"Then what are the door numbers for rooms representing ordinary people like?

"Isn't it only after awakening that one can determine which domain they are in based on the price?"

"Ordinary people don't have door numbers, and there are no doors to the New World hidden there." Du Heng replied simply.

"Then Jiang Xiaoyue, a vegetable person from the Old World, eventually became an Awakened one?" Jiang Baimian keenly grasped the key point.

Although this Awakened one may not have really woken up.

Du Heng didn't answer, just nodded slowly.

The five members of the "Old Task Force" were a little silent for a while, because the amount of information in the conversation just now was too great.

After a few seconds, Shang Jianyao asked curiously:

"Teacher Du Heng, have you entered the 'New World'?"

*So direct...* Long Yuehong was startled by Shang Jianyao's straightforwardness.

Du Heng gave a chuckle:

"How should I say this? I have always believed that if one cannot find the door to the New World in reality at the same time, then relying solely on the 'Door to the New World' in the Mind Corridor will not lead to true success. One might end up in Yan Hu's situation."

*In other words, you found that door, but you don't dare to push it open, don't dare to enter, and you are still working hard in reality?* Jiang Baimian made speculations thoughtfully.

At this time, the aroma of the grilled fish gradually spread out, causing Du Heng to twitch his nose.

"I'm getting hungry after saying so much." He said self-deprecatingly with a smile.

"It looks like it needs to be grilled for a while longer." Jiang Baimian glanced at the grill.

The fish was too big, and not only did it need to be cut with slits, but the time would also be very long.

Shang Jianyao then asked with concern:

"Teacher Du Heng, did you come to First City to find Xiao Chong?"
