Wu Meng!

Almost at the same time, Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and Bai Chen had this name flash through their minds.

Wu Meng, the owner of the "Tao and Electrical Appliance Repair" radio station!

Although none of the "Old Task Force" members had actually met Wu Meng, the deceased relic hunter Fei Lin Tong had encountered a man with a similar appearance in this ruin. At that time, a red-eyed python coiled beside this man, and a giant white wolf was squatting nearby. These two mutated creatures were confirmed to be transformed from Wu Meng, roughly equivalent to his pets.

Therefore, without explicitly stating it, Jiang Baimian and the others naturally concluded that the man was Wu Meng.

The terrifying monster that the old Celestial Master of the "Eternal Epoch" sacrificed himself to seal, is it finally free? Jiang Baimian's heart tightened at first, and then she made a different judgment.

She didn't sense any electrical appliances being activated here, nor did she sense the existence of any other human consciousness, but she discovered that the electromagnetic environment in the lobby on the first floor of the Holm Reproductive Medical Center was quite chaotic!

Recalling that the last time, although Wu Meng was confirmed to be sealed, he still "appeared" to Fei Lin Tong, and through him, delivered a copy of the *Fahhe Post* to the "Old Task Force" and several lone hunters who were exploring the No. 13 wasteland relic at the time, Jiang Baimian suspected that Wu Meng had forcibly transformed the corresponding area by relying on nearby electrical appliances, circuit boards, and wires, so that the electromagnetic signals he transmitted could manifest images.

And for the "Old Task Force" to break the current situation, in addition to depriving themselves of hearing and not listening to what Wu Meng said, there was also a very simple way:

Change the electromagnetic environment here and leave the signals transmitted by Wu Meng without a branch to rely on!

Jiang Baimian did what she thought, dropped the individual combat rocket launcher, and stretched out her left palm.

She wanted to use the remaining high-voltage current in her bio-prosthetic limb to forcibly destroy the electromagnetic environment within range!

At this moment, Shang Jianyao, whose nerve seemed to have short-circuited, actually laughed, smugly:

"Haha, this time you don't have any pets with you..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man wearing small round-framed glasses, dressed in a gray suit with black stripes, leisurely flipping through the Holm Reproductive Medical Center brochure, suspected to be Wu Meng, raised his head.

He looked at the four members of the "Old Task Force," and the corners of his mouth slightly curved up.

In an instant, Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen's heads became empty. They didn't know what they were doing, what they should do, and didn't even remember who they were. They were all muddleheaded, as if they had lost the ability to think.

Jiang Baimian's current surge that was ready to go came to an abrupt end.

The black-haired, brown-eyed man chuckled and said in a strange Hong River accent of Ashlands:

"Don't be nervous. If I really wanted to deal with you, why would I need to go to so much trouble? It's just a spark flickering.

"The Great Dao is like water; following the trend is mighty and unstoppable."

His voice was indeed Wu Meng's.

When Wu Meng spoke, the brains of Jiang Baimian and the others finally regained their rhythm, and their ability to think quickly recovered.

And the first thought that flashed through their minds was:

This sore is too powerful, isn't it?

Shang Jianyao was not frightened by the lack of resistance, and asked with a calm expression and a hint of curiosity:

"Idiot Halo?"

This was an ability of the "Zhuang Sheng" domain. Shang Jianyao felt that it was very similar to the influence that Wu Meng had just exerted.

Wu Meng sat on the sofa without getting up.

He leaned back and smiled slightly:

"When you enter the 'New World,' you will be able to control all the abilities within a large domain."

Jiang Baimian recalled the experience just now. On the one hand, she felt that they were indeed helpless and needed to prepare in advance to be able to fight against the "Idiot Halo." It was better to honestly listen to what Wu Meng wanted to do. On the other hand, she still stubbornly used her brain, trying to find an opportunity to "send" Wu Meng away and seize the initiative in her hands.

But this didn't prevent her from taking advantage of the situation.

Anyway, since they had fallen into this situation, it was better to be open-minded, adapt to the situation, and see if they could get some benefits!

So, Jiang Baimian took the opportunity to ask:

"What about the Ruling Years?"

Wu Meng smiled:

"Ambitious, but that's not a good thing.

"For it is precisely because he does not compete that no one in the world can compete with him."

Just when Jiang Baimian thought her attempt to take advantage of the situation had failed, Wu Meng patted the cyan cushion next to him:

"Broadly speaking, the Ruling Years each control three domains, naturally suppressing all Awakened within their respective domains."

Three major domains... one price, three gifts... Jiang Baimian discovered that these were all in the same vein.

Wu Meng scanned with his eyes behind his small round-framed glasses and found that Long Yuehong and Bai Chen were very tense.

"There's really no need to be nervous. If I wanted to control you, I could have done it last time. There's no need to wait until now." This mysterious existence, known as a monster and a sore, was just like a real radio host, with a kind attitude and smiling words. "After you went back last time, three people should have committed suicide. You don't think I could only affect those three at that time, do you?"

Reminded by Wu Meng's words, Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, Shang Jianyao, and Jiang Baimian immediately recalled the three people, Wei Te, Fa Ersi, and Fei Lin Tong, who had clearly ended their exploration with great gains and complete merit, but suddenly chose to commit suicide.

This made Long Yuehong feel as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on his head, and he couldn't help but shudder.

This gentle and polite man could manipulate other people's minds and kill people invisibly!

"Then why did you let us go?" The honest Shang Jianyao asked back.

Wu Meng crossed his legs, his whole posture very relaxed:

"Because you have the gaze of the Ruling Years."

His gaze gradually stopped on Shang Jianyao:

"'Si Ming,' 'You Gu,' 'Dawn,' 'Twin Suns,' 'Shattered Mirror,' 'Bodhi'..."

This was Wang Fugui's guess at the time, except that he thought we were devout believers of a certain Ruling Year... Jiang Baimian discovered that the most unlikely conjecture turned out to be true.

As for the fact that they were being watched by so many Ruling Years, the "Old Task Force" was no longer surprised and had become numb.

After the small jade Buddha underwent a miraculous change under the gaze of "You Gu" in Redstone Town, they became "reckless" and "unafraid of boiling water".

"Why are those Ruling Years watching us?" Long Yuehong blurted out.

Wu Meng had an expression that said you were very funny:

"You need to ask them this, not me."

"Then why did you come to us?" Jiang Baimian asked calmly.

Wu Meng straightened his gray suit with black stripes:

"You hurt my pet. It's not too much for me to come and see, is it?"

The main topic is coming... Long Yuehong remembered that he had injured the tail of the giant white wolf, and he became even more nervous.

Shang Jianyao, however, jumped to another matter and asked:

"Before, someone attacked us. Why didn't you influence them and let them run around in this ruin?

"Didn't you say that dealing with people of our level is just a spark flickering? Could it be that they are also being watched by a certain Ruling Year?"

Good question! This time, it was Jiang Baimian's turn to want to applaud Shang Jianyao.

Wu Meng glanced sideways at the outside of the automatic sensor door:

"Being sealed for a long time also requires some entertainment. Moreover, they are protected by 'Doctor'."

"'Doctor'? The 'Doctor' of the Eighth Research Institute?" Jiang Baimian keenly caught that word.

Wu Meng nodded:

"Yes."

Olei said that "Doctor" and them had become the hounds of darkness, and "Dawnlight" and "True Self Teaching" believe they are the claws of "Nightmare"... So, is "Nightmare" part of the darkness? Jiang Baimian's thoughts raced as she began to analyze.

Shang Jianyao raised another question:

"Since you said you didn't want to deal with us, then why did your pet attack us, and why did you influence the electrical appliances in our team again and again?"

Wu Meng laughed, and a few red lights vaguely flickered behind his small round-framed glasses:

"Guess how many of us want to kill you, and how many are trying our best to suppress them?"

In Long Yuehong's eyes, the sore's smile was filled with indescribable cruelty and inexplicable joy.

No, don't stimulate him... As expected of the "Zhuang Sheng" domain, it's very similar to the price of feeding... Jiang Baimian made a gesture with her left hand, signaling Shang Jianyao not to continue this topic.

Before any of the "Old Task Force" members could speak, Wu Meng said with a light laugh:

"I came to see you, actually, for a purpose.

"The things you are investigating are of special significance to me. In the future, they may be able to help me break the seal. That's why I gave you that copy of the *Fahhe Post* through that hunter.

"Now, I mainly want to tell you one thing:

"The next Buddhist holy site to explore is the No. 1 High School in Icefield City."

After saying that, Wu Meng's expression suddenly changed, and the surrounding air suddenly became as heavy as lead:

"You can leave now."

Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and the others looked at each other, dared not stay, and carefully crossed the hall, heading towards the outside of the Holm Reproductive Medical Center.

Just as she exited the automatic sensor door, Jiang Baimian remembered something, turned back, and added a question:

"Can you really transform mutated creatures?"

Wu Meng smiled slightly:

"Guess."

He didn't give a direct answer.

After the four members of the "Old Task Force" moved away from the Holm Reproductive Medical Center, a figure suddenly outlined behind Wu Meng's side.

It was Xu Lan, wearing a denim outfit.

"Why don't you control them to help you escape?" Xu Lan asked with a frown.

Standing next to Wu Meng, her symmetry obsession seemed to be "cured" and she didn't show it at all.

"It's not possible to rely on you and them." Wu Meng smiled. "Moreover, 'Doctor' should be going all out to deal with them next. The 'owner' of that necklace is not simple."

Xu Lan showed a puzzled expression:

"You don't care?"

Wu Meng shook his head, and his figure gradually faded until it disappeared.

He only left one sentence:

"What doesn't kill them will only make them stronger."

…………

Before dusk came, Jiang Baimian and the others returned to the mountain cave passage.

They used the key information recorded in advance to confirm that their memories had not been modified and that no strange thoughts had been implanted. Then, they reminded each other and broke the "protection" provided by Shang Jianyao.

"What exactly does Wu Meng mean?" Long Yuehong muttered to himself in confusion.

Just as Jiang Baimian was about to answer, the flashlight beam swept across several plank crates placed on the ground.

Those were what they used to装军用外骨骼装置和仿生智能盔甲的。

It was not strange that these boxes appeared here. What was strange was another point.

Jiang Baimian looked around and said:

"Where's Gevna?"

Genava was not guarding here.
