Squid Who Loves Diving

Chapter 916 Preparation (Requesting Monthly Tickets During Double Period)

"‘Truth’ is not a Ruling God!" Shang Jianyao retorted on the spot, showing no surprise.

Liu Chuan twisted his head, his gaze filled with anger as he looked at this guy.

Shang Jianyao didn't back down, and silver-white electric light flickered in his eyes again.

After they stared at each other for a few seconds, Liu Chuan seemed unable to bear it and slowly shifted his gaze.

"You're not good enough!" Shang Jianyao said whatever came to his mind.

This act of adding fuel to the fire made Liu Chuan suddenly turn his gaze back to him.

Just at that moment, all the lights in the basement flickered at the same time, soon shining as brightly as small suns.

"My eyes!" Shang Jianyao shouted, raising his hand to shield his face.

Other "New World" powerhouses had similar reactions, either covering their eyes with their hands or lowering their eyelids, all daring not to look directly at such a strong light.

After a brief burst, the light returned to normal, and a low and ethereal male voice, as if coming from another world, sounded in the ears of Shang Jianyao and the others:

"Everyone, the turmoil is about to begin."

Shang Jianyao opened his eyes and saw tall, thin black shadows floating on the left wall of the basement, but there was no one around at all.

"Are you 'Truth'?" He interrupted the "Black Shadow's" speech without any reverence.

The "Black Shadow" was silent for a while before saying:

"I am."

Shang Jianyao said "Oh, oh" and didn't interrupt again.

He looked around and found that Liu Chuan and another person were bowing their heads, behaving unusually respectfully. Although Flora and Barnard and others were not so exaggerated, they also showed enough respect.

They all looked focused.

The tall, thin "Black Shadow" shook on the wall and said:

"When the signs of turmoil appear, you will unite and go to the High Tower, without wasting time along the way.

"When facing 'Charlie,' 'Professor Li,' and other lackeys, if you can't quickly resolve them, leave some people behind to entangle them, and the rest continue forward.

"At that time, I will help you open the door to the High Tower. After you enter, you only need to destroy the core facilities there to see the passage back to the gray earth.

"The power of the Ruling Gods reverberates within the High Tower, which will bring you great danger, but this is also your only chance.

"If you don't take advantage of the Ruling Gods' inability to concentrate during the turmoil, you will never be able to escape from here!

"Everyone, patiently wait here for the signs of turmoil."

As soon as "Truth" finished speaking, Shang Jianyao immediately raised his right hand:

"I have a question.

"During the turmoil, why can't the Ruling Gods be distracted?"

The "Black Shadow" did not answer him because after finishing that speech, it rapidly expanded, becoming larger and larger, and disappeared into the basement.

Seeing this, Shang Jianyao said with a disappointed expression:

"Runs so fast!

"As if we are洪水猛兽."

Liu Chuan glanced at him sideways, but didn't speak.

Shang Jianyao completely ignored his expression and asked himself again:

"What are the signs of turmoil exactly?"

At this stage, Liu Chuan had nothing to hide and said frankly:

"The 'New World' will experience obvious turbulence every once in a while.

"This starts from the High Tower and spreads outward, including earthquakes, storms, and building collapses."

"Not fixed? Then how do you know that turmoil will happen recently?" Shang Jianyao asked when he didn't understand.

Liu Chuan quietly took a breath and said:

"This is news from the great 'Truth' from within the High Tower, and it is always very accurate."

"Okay." Shang Jianyao had a "barely believe you" expression.

Then, he pulled the topic back to just now:

"Why doesn't 'Truth' stay and answer a few questions for us?

"We are about to do something so important, so crucial, and so dangerous. Everyone is very uneasy, and there must be many questions."

Can't see where you're uneasy at all… Liu Chuan saw that several "New World" powerhouses who understood Gray Earth language were nodding slightly, agreeing with Shang Jianyao's statement, and hurriedly explained calmly:

"Great beings will not care about these trivial matters and will not respond to doubts."

"Who said that?" Shang Jianyao immediately retorted, "When I prayed to the Ruling Gods before, the Ruling Gods would always respond."

"How did they respond?" Liu Chuan's expression tightened.

Including Flora and Barnard, some "New World" powerhouses turned their gazes over.

Although it was common for the Ruling Gods to answer the prayers and questions of believers, this was generally called issuing divine mandates, but the people in the basement were currently planning to resist the High Tower and trying to escape, so they couldn't help but feel a little frightened when they heard the words "Ruling Gods."

Shang Jianyao said "seriously":

"Although They didn't speak, I can clearly understand Their meaning."

"What do you mean?" Liu Chuan asked, pressing him.

Shang Jianyao "seriously" replied:

"Let me滚."

He's in a joking mood now.

"..." If Liu Chuan hadn't paid the price of "gentle personality", he would definitely punch Shang Jianyao in the face right now.



"Pangu Biology", Room 14, 647th floor.

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen were sitting in the "Old Task Force" office, looking a bit idle.

Of course, this was just on the surface. In reality, they were both racking their brains to consider some issues.

"We'd better do a training exercise every two days to maintain good physical and mental condition," Long Yuehong said proactively.

And his subtext was that if they didn't do this, they might not be able to receive the telegrams sent back by Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao through Genaeva in time.

In that case, the two people in the underground building might miss the best opportunity.

Of course, Jiang Baimian had considered this issue when formulating the separate action plan before, and believed that hope could not be completely pinned on telegram communication, as there were too many twists and turns to respond in a timely manner.

Another channel for transmitting information was that recorder.

The principle was that after Shang Jianyao entered the "New World", he could complete the positioning through his own body and the remaining aura and power outside.

In other words, he should be able to make the recorder play on its own under his control, like Xiao Chong and Wu Meng, to remind his teammates.

But this required a certain amount of time to break through the barriers of the "New World", transmit power, and give thoughts. There was a significant delay and it couldn't compare to the speed of having a bowel movement.

But together with the telegram, this was timely enough, at most delaying for ten minutes, so that Long Yuehong and Bai Chen wouldn't miss the opportunity.

However, there were also some unknowns. Jiang Baimian didn't know exactly where Wu Meng's level was, and couldn't be sure that Shang Jianyao would be able to do the same thing if he entered the "New World".

Therefore, Long Yuehong didn't dare to ignore these two information channels, the telegram and the recorder.

"Okay." Bai Chen nodded, "I'll file a report with Deputy Minister Xi Yu."

Long Yuehong then looked at the computer and telephone on the team leader's desk and sighed sincerely:

"Actually, we are no longer considered members of the 'Old Task Force'..."

He and Bai Chen were closer to internal affairs positions.

"As long as the team hasn't disbanded, it will always be," Bai Chen replied solemnly.



Eighth Research Institute, behind the tunnel gate.

Jiang Baimian was wearing a military exoskeleton device, sitting against the wall, closing her eyes to rest her mind.

She had just given Shang Jianyao a shot of nutrient solution and planned to take the time to rest for a while, waiting for the start of the turmoil in the "New World".

At that time, she would try to enter the mysterious building in the core area of the real "New World".

The illusion it manifests is the High Tower!



"New World", in the basement of that special building.

Shang Jianyao was chatting with Flora, Barnard and others when he suddenly said "Oops":

"Damn, I forgot something!"

"What's the matter?" Flora, sitting on the chair, asked with concern.

Shang Jianyao, standing there, replied:

"Before the turmoil begins, I still have some things to deal with, some friends to notify!"

For example, he also wanted to go to that courtyard in the style of gray earth, and chat with the woman sobbing in the dark again, to see if the turmoil could stimulate corresponding changes and make her say more things, such as going to the place where Yan Hu and others were imprisoned, reminding them that the turmoil was about to begin, and be careful that the person who imprisoned them would take the opportunity to do something, such as asking the friendly people like Jacob, to see if they also wanted to escape from the "New World"...

"This matter is strictly confidential." Liu Chuan emphasized after hearing Shang Jianyao's words.

Barnard explained tremblingly:

"A group of people have chosen to obey the management of the High Tower and want to exchange this method for the right to return to the gray earth frequently, and the 'Deputy Director' and 'Charlie' and other lackeys also have followers.

"If the news that we want to do something during this turmoil spreads, the difficulty of the matter will increase linearly, and we may even suffer the divine punishment of the Ruling Gods before the turmoil begins."

"Oh..." Shang Jianyao glanced around with some disappointment.

Seeing that those who could understand the conversation just now were showing their opposition, he had to say dejectedly:

"Okay."

In the next second, his thinking jumped and he asked another thing:

"What kind of punishment will be given for leaking the secrets here, and from whom?"
