Squid Who Loves Diving

Chapter 643 Patience

"Old Task Force's" members were each prepared, patiently waiting for the Awakened in the "Golden Balance" field to be forced out by their own asymmetry, and then deliver a fatal blow.

Whether it was the "Six Senses Beads" in Shang Jianyao's hands, or the "Angel of Life" necklace with Jiang Baimian, or Long Yuehong's T1-type mechanical arm and Genaava's laser, or the flames sprayed by the "Merman" biological prosthesis, all could directly or indirectly achieve this goal.

At least until now, the "Old Task Force" had never seen an Awakened who could be immune to physical damage, at most they could rely on the ability to interfere with matter to make a certain degree of resistance.

Yan Hu, who was suspected of having entered the "New World," the dried corpse he left behind on Lake Heart Island, did not give people the feeling of being indestructible.

Waiting, the passage of time seemed to slow down, Long Yuehong watched the setting sun outside the window sink little by little, the palm of his hand had oozed a lot of cold sweat at some point, wet and slightly sticky.

"Why is there still no movement?" He suppressed his voice and said.

Compared to fighting danger, the process of waiting for danger to come was even more tormenting.

The unknown always adds fuel to the fire of fear.

Shang Jianyao answered with a smile:

"Assassins are always very patient."

"But he should have very serious symmetry obsessive-compulsive disorder." Bai Chen retorted slightly.

Her meaning was that, facing so many asymmetrical things, the enemy's patience would definitely run out quickly, and he would not be able to persist for too long.

In the field of Awakened, finding the price the enemy pays often means occupying a great advantage.

Jiang Baimian pondered for a moment and said:

"He most likely has a way to reduce the negative impact of the price within a certain period of time, but as long as we don't relax, he will eventually be unable to bear it."

At that time, the person targeted by the "assassin" is likely to suffer extremely serious injuries, and even die on the spot... Long Yuehong silently added in his heart.

He did not say these words, because this was an inevitable problem at present.

Unless the "Old Task Force" can capture the traces of the "assassin" one step ahead, lock him before he launches an attack, otherwise, if such a shadowy guy is really willing to give up his life, willing to exchange one for one, to eliminate the滔天 anger brought by symmetry obsessive-compulsive disorder, then someone on his side will inevitably suffer harm.

Long Yuehong only hoped that under full concentration, the person being attacked could react in time and avoid vital points.

At this time, Jiang Baimian looked around again and said:

"There is another possibility:

"The 'assassin' has not yet lurked near us, waiting for the 'Nightmare' power to condense again, waiting for his companions to quietly modify our memories.

"When the situation changes, he will approach and reap our lives."

Clap clap clap, Shang Jianyao, holding the "Six Senses Beads," applauded.

Jiang Baimian quickly issued a new order:

"Start from me flipping through the written key memories and forming a comparison with the situation in my mind.

"After I finish, it's Wei, after Wei is Little White, after Little White is Little Red, after Little Red is me again, and it keeps cycling like this.

"Old Ge, you pay attention to the state of the person flipping through and the surrounding situation, to prevent the 'assassin' from seizing the opportunity to attack."

As an intelligent robot, Genaava is not afraid of being modified memories, nor is he afraid of being attacked, anyway, the "assassin" cannot kill him with one blow.

Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao's swollen half of his cheek, and said with a complicated expression:

"You are really ruthless to yourself...

"How did you discover something was wrong and guess that we were sleepwalking?"

Shang Jianyao pointed to the "Six Senses Beads":

"It seems to be able to bring me a certain sense of danger.

"I don't know if this is combined with the dream, anyway, I didn't notice it before."

"Perhaps it is affected by the 'Nightmare', and the abnormal aura of the Buddhist holy land it is integrated into has been stimulated." Genaava enumerated various possibilities, and said what he thought was closest to reality after analysis.

Jiang Baimian "hmm"ed:

"'Dawnlight' has always promoted that they are fighting against 'Nightmare' in dreams, guarding humanity.

"Aolei mentioned that those people who survived the destruction of the Old World in the Eighth Research Institute have become the lackeys of darkness.

"I now think that there may be a certain connection between these two statements."

Therefore, the invasion of "Nightmare" can trigger the abnormal aura of the Buddhist holy land hidden in the "Six Senses Beads."

And this is likely to symbolize some essential factors of the destruction of the Old World.

They are precisely the goals that the "Old Task Force" is trying to pursue.

Without saying anything more, Jiang Baimian took out her written key memories and quickly flipped through them.

Shang Jianyao, Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Genaava did not relax their vigilance, and were still highly vigilant, paying attention to their companions and the surrounding situation.

One by one, when it was Long Yuehong's turn to flip through the records, Jiang Baimian raised her left hand.

She glanced at it, and silently switched to her right hand again.

Then, she punched herself in the stomach.

Jiang Baimian's facial features contracted towards the middle, but quickly relaxed again.

She looked around and breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Chen looked a little surprised and subconsciously wanted to ask a question.

In a flash, she understood:

The team leader is preventing herself from entering a sleepwalking state.

In sleepwalking, the behavior made in the dream will be reflected in reality, so you can wake yourself up through similar attempts!

As for "Real Dream" and other situations, Jiang Baimian has an auxiliary chip to monitor her body state, and if there is a discovery, she will immediately give the corresponding stimulus.

At this time, Shang Jianyao turned the prayer beads:

"Namo Anuradha Samyak Sambodhi, benefactor, you don't have to."

Jiang Baimian understood that his meaning was that with the "Six Senses Beads" to remind her, she did not need to additionally guard against the sleepwalking state.

"Double insurance." Jiang Baimian emphasized.

Shang Jianyao stopped talking, and several members of the "Old Task Force" followed the previous plan, and under high alert, took turns monitoring their own memories and identifying sleepwalking states.

Time passed second by second, and the night ruled the earth.

One hundred and fifty meters away from the "True Self Church" stronghold, that is, the apartment rented by the "Old Task Force," the small truck driven by Welf was quietly parked next to a warehouse.

"Lan, what are you, what are you planning to wait for?" Welf looked at the windows lit up in the distance and asked the person next to him.

Originally, there was no one in the passenger seat, but Xu Lan, wearing a denim jacket and a wide-brimmed high-top felt hat, was already sitting there at some point.

She leaned against the back of the chair, a gold ring with an ancient design on the middle finger of her left hand, her open eyes empty and without focus.

At this moment, she was blind.

Since she can't see, she will no longer be troubled by symmetry obsessive-compulsive disorder.

However, this is not absolute. If she touches an asymmetrical thing, she will also find it unbearable.

For this reason, Xu Lan even wore a gold ring with the same design but no special ability on the same position on her right hand.

Xu Lan was in a very good mood now, she smiled slightly and said:

"The longer you wait, the better the effect.

"We are in the dark and they are in the light. We can conserve our energy, and they must be vigilant enough and cannot relax in the slightest.

"In this state, their spirit and their energy will be consumed rapidly. After a few more hours, in the middle of the night, or when it's almost dawn, they will be nearing the end of their rope."

Welf muttered:

"I hope it's like you said.

"Wouldn't they choose to take turns resting?"

"It depends on whether they have the courage and determination, after all, we may launch an attack at any time." Xu Lan replied indifferently, "At least they won't be clear, because they are inside the 'True Self Church' stronghold. After the previous impact, they won't dream again in a short time, and besides, we don't have to succeed within twenty-four hours, we can follow them and look for better opportunities."

Welf chose to obey and did not dare to refute.

Xu Lan thought for a while and asked:

"What exactly scared you so much that you made a mistake and they noticed that you were flipping through their memories?"

Welf's face turned pale, as if he were walking through the ice field in winter.

He was silent for a long time and said:

"That one's aura."

Xu Lan's body straightened up:

"That one?"

"That one." Welf nodded exceptionally heavily.

...

On the top floor of the "True Self Church" apartment, inside the room where the "Old Task Force" was located.

Long Yuehong glanced at the bright moon hanging outside the window and gently shook his head.

Several hours of high concentration gave him a feeling of emptiness in his brain and sluggish reactions.

Seeing this, Jiang Baimian pondered for a moment and said:

"Little Red, you and Wei go to rest now, and switch with me and Little White in three hours."

"Isn't that too dangerous?" Long Yuehong subconsciously asked.

Jiang Baimian smiled:

"Now it's just vigilance, we haven't seen the enemy yet, there's no need to be too nervous.

"Those experienced employees of the Security Department know that the better you sleep before the battle, the more likely you are to win the battle. Therefore, even if they are surrounded and the enemy may pour in from all directions at any time, they will find gaps to take turns sleeping on the spot.

"Don't worry, we have Old Ge, he doesn't need to rest all day."

"As long as the battery is sufficient." Shang Jianyao helped Genaava add.

Jiang Baimian followed up with a smile:

"We can also put up an electric net at the door and window, I don't believe that 'assassin' can walk through walls!"

——Bai Chen's subsonic investigation had already stopped, it was too energy-consuming.

The honest Shang Jianyao quickly found the loopholes in Jiang Baimian's words just now:

"Although he can't walk through walls, he can bombard here with heavy firepower from the opposite side, in the distance, and blow us up."

Jiang Baimian "Heh"ed:

"Then we can only pray that the statue of 'Dawnlight' will not be affected."

In her opinion, although the strongmen of the "True Self Church" are unwilling to confront "Nightmare" without certainty, they will definitely not let the enemy attack their own strongholds and affect the statue of the Ruling Age.

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

"I have to add 'Dawnlight' to my map of the Ruling Ages of the Heavens!"
