"Du Heng..."

The name Jiang Bai棉 said seemed to carry magic, causing the members of the "Old Task Force" in the room to lose their ability to speak.

Before this, they had never imagined that they would see Du Heng's name here, in a Buddhist holy site located within the ruins of the city.

There shouldn't be any connection between the two.

After a dozen seconds, Shang Jianyao sincerely exclaimed:

"Teacher Du Heng really is someone who has lived from the Old World to the present!"

He looked proud and arrogant, as if he really was his teacher.

"His apparent age doesn't look like it at all..." Long Yuehong muttered.

Du Heng looked only in his forties, and the Old World had been destroyed for nearly seventy years. Even if he was a prodigy when he participated as a special guest in the gene research academic lecture jointly held by Holm Reproductive Medical Center and the Northern Company, he was not very old, but now he was definitely over eighty.

Bai Chen organized her thoughts and said:

"Could it just be the same name, or the same pronunciation but different characters?"

"With Teacher Du Heng's strength and specialness, it is a completely acceptable explanation that he has the ability to preserve his youth." Jiang Bai棉 said thoughtfully, "For a person like him, it fits my imagination that he was famous in the Old World."

This is a mysterious being who chases after Xiao Chong, who is suspected to be the "King of the Mindless," everywhere. It is the most logical inference that he has experienced the destruction of the Old World.

Moreover, he also has many old friends, such as the "Buddha's Incarnation" of the "Crystal Consciousness Church."

"If it really is Teacher Du Heng, we should have asked him about the reason for the destruction of the Old World and the origin of the 'Mindless Disease' before." Long Yuehong sighed with regret.

Honest Shang Jianyao snorted:

"Did you forget? Teacher Du Heng said he lost a lot of memories."

"His choice to be an antiquities scholar may not be without the idea of ​​using this to retrieve that part of his memory." Jiang Bai棉 agreed with Shang Jianyao's words, feeling that this could form a logical chain with Du Heng's self-description.

At this time, Bai Chen remembered something and asked while being vigilant about possible accidents:

"In what capacity did Teacher Du Heng participate in that academic lecture?"

Jiang Bai棉 slowly shook her head:

"I don't know.

"He was the only special guest who did not have a Red River text name and did not have any identity or position marked."

Even those with government backgrounds had very legitimate titles on the surface.

"How mysterious!" Shang Jianyao actually showed obvious envy.

"Is there anything else behind?" Long Yuehong felt that they should not specifically discuss Du Heng's origins and why he participated in such an academic lecture in the cutting-edge field of gene research at this time.

On the one hand, there was a lack of effective clues, and on the other hand, the "Old Task Force" was in the No. 13 ruins in the wasteland, and time was equal to life, and it could not be wasted like this.

Jiang Bai棉 turned the last page of that document:

"After the special guests is the location of the academic lecture, on the fourth floor of this small building, meeting room No. 3.

"Nothing else."

Without waiting for his teammates to respond, Jiang Bai棉 sighed:

"It seems necessary to do a search there."

Although under normal circumstances, after an academic lecture, the relevant meeting room would definitely be cleaned up and have other arrangements, but at that time, there were only a few days left before the destruction of the Old World. Jiang Bai棉 expected that the employees of Holm Reproductive Medical Center would not clean up thoroughly enough, and there would be clues or traces left.

After speaking, she pointed to the drawer of the desk and said:

"Come here and help me look through the remaining documents, and try to make a quick decision."

Since Shang Jianyao, Bai Chen, and Long Yuehong had completed their tasks, they should of course make reasonable use of their labor and save valuable time.

After more than ten minutes of searching and looking through, the "Old Task Force" finally confirmed that there were no other materials with investigation value in this office belonging to the center's director.

"Being able to see the names of Lin Sui and Teacher Du Heng on such a document, our trip has already been worth the price." Jiang Bai棉 was not disappointed at all about this.

Compared with teams that explore city ruins for years without finding any effective clues, the "Old Task Force" can be completely called lucky.

As Jiang Bai棉 stuffed the document into her tactical backpack and picked up the single-soldier rocket launcher on the ground, Long Yuehong turned to the window and got ready to "peep" inside.

Pudu Zen Master Shang Jianyao calmly sat cross-legged and turned the "Six Senses Beads," reciting the contents of the medical record from the steel plant ruins.

After completing this "ritual," he took out the small jade Buddha.

Still, nothing changed.

"There is fate but no share..." Shang Jianyao's wording is always ingenious and inexplicable.

After he finished sighing and put away the small jade Buddha and the original medical record, the "Old Task Force" slowly withdrew from the room and searched other places on the same floor.

In this way, they went up layer by layer, and finally arrived at the top floor, which was the fourth floor, without any gains along the way.

Of course, this was mainly because they looked down on it. If an ordinary team of ruins hunters entered here, they would think everything was valuable and would want to move everything away.

After a little bit of discernment, Bai Chen pointed to the front and said:

"That's meeting room No. 3."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shang Jianyao took out a piece of paper and unfolded it.

There were nine patterns drawn on it, corresponding to different Year Stars.

The Map of Blessings from the Heavenly Year Stars.

Shang Jianyao pushed the map out and held it there, while he lowered his head and fell into silence.

After a few seconds, he finally made a sound:

"Please bless us, Year Stars."

When praying, it's best not to wear the "Six Senses Beads," otherwise, I'm afraid only the "Mandala" Year Star in September will appreciate you, and you didn't draw the symbol representing her... Jiang Bai棉 couldn't help but slander.

After Shang Jianyao put away the Map of Blessings from the Heavenly Year Stars, Long Yuehong asked with curiosity:

"Why don't you use the prayer words corresponding to each Year Star, such as 'Everywhere is an illusion, why be serious,' 'Vigilance always exists,' 'New life is like the sun, life is the most important'?"

Shang Jianyao sighed and said very embarrassedly:

"Who is in front and who is behind?

"This is a very serious question, I'm afraid they will fight because of it."

"Just follow the months?" Bai Chen suggested.

Shang Jianyao's eyes lit up:

"Yes! How could I not have thought of that?

"Then I'll start over!"

He was about to take out the Map of Blessings from the Heavenly Year Stars again.

"Stop, stop, stop!" Jiang Bai棉 stopped him from wasting time.

Then, she stepped over Bai Chen and Long Yuehong and took the lead in walking towards meeting room No. 3.

Shang Jianyao stretched his neck to look, quite disappointed that she didn't go to the wrong room.

Meeting room No. 3 was quite large, and it was still arranged as if it were holding an academic lecture. In front was a huge projection screen and a podium on the side, and below were rows of seats and a projector.

Unfortunately, there wasn't a single piece of paper here, not even blackened blood, as if even the "Mindless" had never been here after the destruction of the Old World.

Jiang Bai棉 secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but still issued orders according to the procedure:

"Search an area each."

Upon hearing this, Shang Jianyao went directly to the front of the meeting room, gently patted the projection screen, and asked in a soft voice:

"You've worked hard for so many years. What exactly happened back then?

"Did that academic lecture invite some amazing person?"

He was like asking an old friend.

Unsurprisingly, the projection screen did not answer him.

If the projection screen could talk, the first sentence would definitely be "Are you crazy!"

Jiang Bai棉 wanted to raise her hand to cover her face, but due to the fact that she was holding a single-soldier rocket launcher in her left hand and her right arm was paralyzed, she couldn't implement it at all.

She could only pretend that nothing had happened and, with the afternoon sunlight shining in from the window, checked the corners, behind the doors, and some of the seats.

As a result, there was no doubt that the "Old Task Force" found nothing.

They then searched other rooms on this floor, but still did not get any valuable clues.

Jiang Bai棉 didn't forget to have Shang Jianyao recite the medical record and show the jade Buddha, but this Buddhist holy site seemed to be really different from the previous two.

"It feels too, too normal, too ordinary." Long Yuehong expressed his opinion at the fourth-floor stairwell.

As a Buddhist holy site, being too normal is the greatest abnormality.

In the Changhe City United Steel Plant and the Tieshan City Second Food Company, there were more or less "abnormalities" hidden!

Bai Chen pursed her lips and said:

"But we have already searched and tried all the methods that should be tried."

"No." Shang Jianyao rubbed his chin and asked with a smile, "Don't you think there is something missing here that should be there?"

Bai Chen looked slightly confused and still had no answer after thinking for a few seconds.

Jiang Bai棉 coughed lightly and said:

"We didn't see the warehouse for frozen reproductive materials all the way up here.

"This is essential for a reproductive medical center that can treat infertility."

As employees of "Pangu Biology," they are always sensitive enough to similar matters.

Long Yuehong suddenly realized:

"This...this is underground?

"We haven't gone to the basement to look for it!"

"Yes." Jiang Bai棉 nodded, "Let's go now."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly turned her body and looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows of the opposite room:

"There is a relatively strong bioelectrical signal!"

But it doesn't belong to humans.

Long Yuehong was shocked, and then he felt a strong fear.

It was as substantial as it tightly gripped his heart.

Then, he saw a huge black shadow hitting the floor-to-ceiling window.

It was a python as thick as a bucket, with cold eyes, round and large, as if filled with blood.
