Long Yuehong listened to the contents of the voice recorder, turned it off, and casually stuffed it into his pocket.
Just like that, he and Bai Chen busied themselves with other things until the evening two or three days later.
After watching an old-world entertainment program, Long Yuehong sat at his computer to organize various documents.
In the process, he found the voice recorder and began processing the content it stored.
Initially, Long Yuehong quickly deleted the words recorded by himself, Xiao Bai, and the team leader, only retaining Shang Jianyao's voice.
Thus, the content of the recording became a jumble of incoherent things:
"I have a very serious matter to tell you, about, uh, the Big Boss, thing."I was wondering, will the Big Boss participate in forced marriages? Who is lucky enough to become the Boss's spouse?"What if we hear it? Even if, uh, the Big Boss is, is a Ruling God, haven't we blasphemed Ruling Gods before?"The first one we encountered was 'Siming', followed by 'Yougu', 'Sui Jing', 'Bodhi', 'Zhuang Sheng'..."The Board of Directors isn't listening to their shepherds, what am I afraid of?
"In the ancient legends of the old world, there was a deity whose clergy were called shepherds, and we are the flock they raise."Ruling Gods had legends before, um, now it seems, what enters there is human consciousness, not the body...
"I was wondering, what do the residents of the 'New World' eat?
"Many clues point to the 'New World', which is the origin of 'Heartless Disease'."Our role is to complete this matter.
"No, one must have confidence, maybe one day I can become the Big Boss, one can't say that maybe one day we will become food for the 'Heartless Ones'.
"Everyone, death can be as light as a feather, or as heavy as Mount Tai...
"This is really a problem that needs serious consideration. The closer our investigation gets to the 'New World', the more dangerous it becomes, the front is full of crises, and disaster may be imminent."I have many guesses, such as 'Heartless Disease' will break out again, such as the 'New World' will shatter, along with the Ashlands... You must take this opportunity to improve yourselves as much as possible.
"When the time comes, if you really encounter danger and cannot fight it, don't hesitate, escape immediately and return to the company.
"Of course, I want to save all of humanity and then return to the underground building. By then, we will completely get rid of the threat of 'Heartless Disease', and then, the Board of Directors should elect me to inherit the Big Boss's position."This is one of my retirement goals, one must know how to control oneself.
"Everyone, let's work hard together, running towards the dawn and hope! A better life is just around the corner!
"Then... hurry, find a chance to escape!"
Following that, Long Yuehong deleted some words that had obvious gaps before and after.
After doing this, the meaning of the entire recording changed greatly:
"I have a very serious matter to tell you, the Big Boss is a Ruling God, 'Siming', the Board of Directors isn't listening to their shepherds, who are called shepherds, and we are the flock they raise."Ruling Gods had legends before, human consciousness, what do they eat, this is the origin of 'Heartless Disease'. Our role is to become the Big Boss, food for the 'Heartless Ones'.
"Everyone, the front is full of crises, disaster may be imminent, 'Heartless Disease' will break out again, you must take this opportunity to improve yourselves as much as possible, escape immediately, the underground building. We will completely get rid of the threat of 'Heartless Disease', the Big Boss, control oneself.
"Let's work hard, dawn, a better life is just around the corner!
"Hurry, escape!"
Once this step was completed, Long Yuehong put on his headphones and made detailed deletions while listening, striving not to lose the core content.
After his editing, the original appearance of the recording slowly emerged:
"I have a very serious matter to tell you, the Big Boss is a Ruling God, 'Siming', the Board of Directors is called shepherds, and we are the flock they raise.
"Ruling Gods eat human consciousness, this is the origin of 'Heartless Disease', our role is to become the Big Boss, food.
"Everyone, crisis, is imminent, 'Heartless Disease' will break out again, you must take this opportunity to escape immediately, the underground building, get rid of, the Big Boss, control.
"Let's work hard, dawn, is just around the corner!
"Quick, escape!"
The recording echoed in Long Yuehong's ears. Although there were some pauses that went against normal speaking habits, it was like someone thinking while speaking, occasionally stumbling, but it did not affect the overall meaning.
The power hidden within Shang Jianyao entered Long Yuehong's brain, completing the corresponding thought implantation.
Long Yuehong didn't care about this at all, because the content itself was a fact, something he knew, and besides, he and Bai Chen had been pre-implanted with the thought that the opportunity would appear after receiving a hint.
At the time, Jiang Baimian designed such a scheme to deceive the heavens, and wrote such a script based on each person's personality.
After repeated revisions, she organized the words that Shang Jianyao needed to add power to, and marked where the pauses should be.
Shang Jianyao held that manuscript and completed the recording.
Afterwards, the four of them, with the help of Genaava, "stitched" the redundant words and phrases into the corresponding pauses, resulting in the discussion that the "Pangu Biology" reviewers heard.
In the "discussion", the parts with relatively smooth transitions showed no extra pauses, while the parts that were relatively difficult to connect had slight stumbles, but ordinary people often speak like that.
And because the words with power were separated and lacked integrity, a single sentence or one or two words taken out had no practical meaning, so the reviewers listening to the original recording were interrupted every time they showed signs of having thoughts implanted, and thus were not affected in any way.
This allowed the voice recorder to smoothly "smuggle" into the "Pangu Biology" underground building.
The reason why Jiang Baimian's plan worked was because she knew that this type of review work focused on finding anomalies, rather than checking if the recording was fake.
After listening to it again and confirming that it was correct, Long Yuehong took off his headphones, put away the voice recorder, and sat back next to Bai Chen.
The two of them did not discuss this matter, nor did they show any smiles.
They knew that there were still many difficulties ahead.
The most obvious point was that even if Shang Jianyao entered the "New World" and provided the corresponding support, his recording could only influence a few thousand people at most, no more than ten thousand, while "Pangu Biology" had hundreds of thousands of employees.

Eighth Research Institute, behind the tunnel gate
Jiang Baimian recently used the "Heartless Ones" on the outskirts of the small city to experiment with her abilities, and roughly grasped the coverage and the number of people affected.
Among them, the coverage of "Mirror World", which was upgraded from "Spatial Illusion", was two hundred and forty meters, which was also Jiang Baimian's limit of perception.
The number of people affected was thirty.
The maximum effective range of "Object Agnosia" was one hundred and sixty meters, and it could affect fifteen people at a time.
"Stimulus Dysregulation" could affect ten targets within one hundred and twenty meters and modify one of their associated reactions, while if it only targeted a single target, it could now modify three associated reactions.
The maximum range of "Getting Lost" was the same as "Stimulus Dysregulation", and the number of people affected was the same as "Object Agnosia".
And the basic ability mastered by the "Mind Corridor" Awakened in the "Shattered Mirror" domain was "Electromagnetic Interference".

When only one lamp was left lit in the cafe, Shang Jianyao, who had been sitting across the street, walked in.
He went straight to the owner, Liu Chuan, and shouted:
"Can we talk now?"
Liu Chuan raised his hand and touched his cheek and said:
"I'll briefly explain the situation."
"Go ahead." Shang Jianyao nodded.
Liu Chuan exhaled and said:
"According to our experience, there will be a turmoil in the 'New World' every once in a while, which spreads from the High Tower.
"During the turmoil, the barrier between the 'New World' and the Ashlands is the weakest. As long as we enter the High Tower, we can leave here without the help of the Ruling Gods and return to reality, um, whether you still have a body or not.
"And breaking into the High Tower is not an easy task. It requires many people like you and me to join forces, do you understand?"
"So that's how it is!" Shang Jianyao slammed his right fist into his left palm.
The next second, he asked curiously:
"Can't we leave the way we came, and return to the Ashlands from the door we entered?"
Liu Chuan said sternly:
"If things were that simple, why would we still be trapped here?"
"I thought the Ruling Gods were preventing everyone from returning to the Ashlands. When the turmoil begins, they won't be able to spare any attention, and we can return the way we came." Shang Jianyao said confidently.
"That door has disappeared." Liu Chuan seemed a little regretful that he had gone too far, and succinctly resolved the issue.
Shang Jianyao did not argue forcefully, but instead asked:
"How long until the next turmoil?"
Liu Chuan cautiously replied:
"It'll be in the next few days. Tell me where you live, and I'll notify you a little while beforehand."
"I live in..." Shang Jianyao was a little embarrassed.
During this period, he would "wander" to wherever he was tired and rest there.
After thinking about it, he found a building with distinctive features:
"In that direction, there is a gray-earth-style courtyard house, I live in..."
Hearing this, Liu Chuan's face suddenly changed, quite frightened.
Shang Jianyao quickly added:
"Next to it."
"..." Liu Chuan's expression returned to normal, "I understand."
Shang Jianyao asked curiously:
"What's so strange about that courtyard house?"
