"But I don't know where they are," Shang Jianyao sighed, "While the place where Yan Hu is imprisoned can be deduced, as long as the spatial structure of 'New World' is normal."

Jiang Baimian nodded slightly:

"It's not impossible to try and deduce it.

"You said before that the place where that 'Child of the Zodiac' of Koninmeses lived should overlap with the high tower to a certain extent. Using that as a reference point, we can calculate the position of the café where Flora and Barnard are in the 'New World'.

"Well, the premise is that this kind of overlap is more like two pieces of paper stuck together, rather than some other model."

Although Shang Jianyao and Genava didn't see the shadow of the high tower when they entered Koninmeses for the second time and arrived at the luxurious apartment where the "Child of the Zodiac" lived, but found that every floor and every room there had lights shining out, combined with their first experience, they could still make corresponding preliminary deductions – when they entered Koninmeses before, sensed the vortex emerging and expanding, they saw the hazy high tower in the direction of the luxurious apartment. In addition, only the high tower in the "New World" had "lights" on every floor, while in other buildings, there were more or less windows dominated by darkness.

Shang Jianyao thought for a while and raised a difficult point:

"But Barnard and Flora can't be drinking coffee there every moment."

"We still have plenty of time, we can wait patiently. Besides, there's a boss and other customers in the café. You can also try to 'make friends'," Jiang Baimian comforted.

Shang Jianyao shook his head:

"Many of the Awakened in the 'New World' are unfriendly. Some are even starving and want to eat people when they see them."

Speaking of this, he changed the subject:

"Even if we want to make friends, we have to wait for someone to be alone, to avoid any accidents."

Jiang Baimian "hmm"ed:

"Since Flora and Barnard are friendly, the café they frequent should still have basic order. We can try to contact the boss.

"In short, everything is subject to your on-site judgment."

She then added:

"Figure out as soon as possible what happens to the body after the consciousness enters the 'New World', and how to get the latter to enter the 'New World' as well.

"I've moved your body outside the Eighth Research Institute, fearing that if it's delayed for too long, it can't be remedied."

Shang Jianyao was surprised:

"I thought you had wiped out that group of zombies."

"Those aren't zombies, they're slightly strange 'Heartless'," Jiang Baimian explained helplessly, "Without knowing whether there are any 'Higher Heartless' among them, and how many, I plan to be cautious."

Speaking of this, she suddenly realized:

"I'm not a god, how can I solve so many enemies by myself in just one or two hours!"

"You can do it," Shang Jianyao encouraged.

Jiang Baimian gave up arguing and said instead:

"Figure out the situation in the 'New World' as soon as possible, and then tell me according to the set of codes we agreed on."

"Okay," Shang Jianyao agreed very readily.

Then, he said worriedly:

"What if my body is hungry?"

"If it really doesn't work, insert a tube and feed liquid food," Jiang Baimian adopted a professional attitude, "Moreover, we have quite a few nutrient injections, enough for you to last for a while. This also urges you to figure out those questions just now as soon as possible, so I know what to do next..."

As she spoke, she asked suspiciously:

"You can't return to the Greylands?"

"Theoretically, I can," Shang Jianyao turned his body and glanced at the end of the pitch-black street, "As long as I go back to where I came in, through that door, I can return to reality. Uh... those 'New World' powerhouses don't often return to the Greylands, maybe there are some hidden restrictions."

He rubbed his chin.

Jiang Baimian nodded.

The "Old Task Force" previously guessed that the "New World" powerhouses needed a certain number of human consciousnesses as "fuel" to return to the Greylands.

Shang Jianyao became worried again:

"What if my body wants to pee or poop?"

"I'll take care of it for you," Jiang Baimian gritted her teeth, "It's best if you can notify me in advance."

That way, she only needed to help him pee and poop, and didn't have to frequently change and wash Shang Jianyao's clothes.

The "Old Task Force" was not rich in this aspect when going out!

"How can I be so embarrassed?" Shang Jianyao said so, but his face was full of "I'm counting on you" expression.

Jiang Baimian rolled her eyes and brought the topic back to the right track:

"Can you still enter your mind room?"

"Haven't tried it, I'll try it later," Shang Jianyao revealed an impatient expression.

Jiang Baimian asked further:

"How much improvement is there in your abilities?"

For the "New World", this was definitely not a sensitive topic. The "Old Task Force" had learned something about it before, so Jiang Baimian asked very directly.

Pa, Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and hit his left palm, saying:

"I haven't checked it yet!"

He actually forgot about this.

After several tens of seconds, Shang Jianyao raised his right hand and began to count on his fingers:

"I have mastered all the abilities in the 'Thought' field:

"In addition to the original 'Reasoning Clown', 'Thought Implantation', there are also 'Brief Dementia', 'Thought Confusion', 'Extreme Impulse', 'Mathematical Idiot', 'Traitor', 'Halo of Foolishness', 'Subconscious Thinking', 'Thought Reading'..."

"Subconscious Thinking"... Jiang Baimian's heart moved and she asked:

"Can Subconscious Thinking add a special state to a certain part of memory, causing the viewer to be unknowingly affected?"

"This is one application," Shang Jianyao answered truthfully.

Jiang Baimian nodded slightly and said:

"It seems that Teacher Du Heng is an Awakened in the 'Zhuang Sheng' field..."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but sigh:

"Is the Teacher Du Heng we encountered this time real or fake? Or is the essence of Teacher Du Heng actually a phantom, a manifestation of a part of consciousness?"

"I don't know," Honest Shang Jianyao chose to shake his head.

"Then what is the range of influence of your abilities?" Jiang Baimian forced herself not to think about the problem of Du Heng for the time being.

Shang Jianyao shook his head again:

"Not sure, haven't tried it.

"But I feel that I have been suppressed in the 'New World'. Except for some abilities that still have an effect where the sound can be clearly heard, and can rely on radios to expand the range, others seem to be no more than ten meters, returning to the 'Hall of Stars' level.

"I'll tell you the specifics after I have a target and try it later.

"Well, if it were in the Greylands, it would definitely be calculated in kilometers."

Jiang Baimian responded thoughtfully:

"The 'New World' should be under the control of the Zodiac..."

That's why there are all kinds of restrictions.

After "chatting" here, Jiang Baimian felt that communicating in this way was consuming her energy greatly, so she had to forcibly interrupt the conversation and agreed to communicate again in the evening.

After retracting her extended spirit, she breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed her forehead, and leaned back against the back of the driver's seat.

After recovering a little, Jiang Baimian muttered to herself silently:

"After dark, I'll hide the human consciousness, put on the military exoskeleton device, use the night vision system, and go into that real 'New World' to explore."

She didn't worry about the high-performance battery consuming too much power for the time being, because the Eighth Research Institute hadn't lost power yet.

"Pangu Biology", underground building, Area C, Floor 495, No. 11.

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen, who passed the inspection, changed into light clothing, carried the fruits bought from the "Material Supply Market", and knocked on the door of their parents' room.

--After getting married, Long Yuehong no longer opened the door directly like before.

"Who is it?" Gu Hong's voice rang out.

At the same time, she opened the door.

In the next second, Gu Hong's gaze solidified.

This only lasted for a very short time. She raised her right hand, rubbed her eyes, and put on a smiling face, saying:

"You've finished your mission?"

"Yeah," Long Yuehong answered with a smile.

Hearing his voice, Long Dayong and Long Zhigu and Long Aihong, who happened to be at home, stood up and greeted the door.

"Brother, Sister-in-law, where did you go this time?" Long Aihong asked with great interest.

Gu Hong, after looking up and down at her eldest son, glanced at her daughter and said unhappily:

"Ask after you enter the house, what are you doing blocking the door?"

Long Aihong turned a deaf ear, stepped forward two steps with a smile, and took Bai Chen's hand:

"Sister-in-law, sit next to me!"

After everyone was seated, Gu Hong gave Long Dayong a look.

Long Dayong immediately cleared his throat and looked at Long Yuehong and said:

"You won't need to go on field missions again after you come back this time, right?"

Seeing the expectant look on his parents' faces, Long Yuehong smiled and said:

"Almost, it's considered a semi-internal affairs state now, you only need to patrol the area outside the company regularly."

Hu, Gu Hong breathed a sigh of relief.

She had also heard of similar tasks, which were basically not dangerous, just boring.

Her smile couldn't be suppressed any longer: "That's good, that's good."

Long Aihong followed up and asked:

"Brother, Sister-in-law, will you be promoted this time? How many contribution points can you get?"

"We just came back, how can the company give rewards so quickly?" Gu Hong answered on behalf of her son.

The atmosphere became enthusiastic, and the Long family of four discussed this issue.

Long Yuehong listened with a smile, watched quietly, and did not interrupt, only feeling peace and joy in his heart.

He turned his head and glanced at Bai Chen, and found that his wife was in a similar state.

If it wasn't for those things... Long Yuehong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

…………

"New World", under the street lamp.

Shang Jianyao tried to enter his mind room.

With a swish, his figure disappeared from the dark street with only one street lamp and appeared in the transformed "131" room.

"You can come back directly..." Shang Jianyao's eyes lit up as he walked towards the door.

He stretched out his right palm, grasped the handle, and tried to open the door, but the door didn't budge.

"It's sealed? Can it only be opened by returning to reality first, and then entering the room?" Shang Jianyao rubbed his chin.

He didn't waste time, returned to the "New World", and continued forward along the dark and silent street.

After arriving at the intersection, he saw a glimmer of light ahead.
