Olive Green District, Iron Medal Street.
When Jiang Bai Mian spoke about Terrence and the "Beyond Spirituality" Order, Long Yuehong said with slight surprise:
"We just happened to run into Christina today."
And the team leader actually encountered people and things closely related to the "Supreme Desire" sect.
"Worthy of you." Shang Jianyao drew a conclusion first.
Long Yuehong responded a little aggrieved:
"But nothing happened..."
Just a chance encounter.
"Meeting is fate, Namo Anuttara-Samyak-Sambodhi." Shang Jianyao put his hands together, solemnly explaining.
Jiang Bai Mian raised her hand to stop the two's "debate," and said in a soothing tone:
"This only shows that there are many sects in Initial City, quite a few Awakened, and the relationships are intricate."
Clap clap clap, Shang Jianyao applauded, and then was glared back by Jiang Bai Mian.
Jiang Bai Mian turned to the matter of the explosion at the citizen assembly, and the members of the "Old Task Force" had a brief discussion.
When they talked about the mother whose son suffered from "Heartless Disease," everyone sighed.
After nearly a minute, Shang Jianyao looked at Genaeva and asked curiously:
"Can you feel this kind of emotion like sighing because of these things?"
Genaeva raised his silver-black palm, touched the military cap on his head, and slowly said while doing a self-data analysis:
"I can't yet associate this kind of thing with the correct reaction, but I feel that this should be similar to the change I witnessed in Susanna and Reddes, so I put the two in the same set and had some effect."
"Being able to empathize with others shows that you have taken another step in the degree of humanization." Jiang Bai Mian praised Genaeva a few words using the tone she usually uses to encourage Long Yuehong.
Bai Chen unconsciously showed a smile, and waited until Shang Jianyao looked at her sharply before asking somewhat hastily:
"Do you want to see that information now?"
The recent "Heartless Disease" cases in several streets of Olive Green District.
Jiang Bai Mian gave an "uh-huh" sound, picked up the file bag on the table, took out the papers inside, and handed them to Genaeva:
"Old Ge, make a projection so everyone can see it together."
This is much more convenient than passing it around.
Soon, the data, which consisted of only a few pages, was projected onto the wall of the cramped rental house, and the five members of the "Old Task Force" carefully read it from beginning to end.
During this process, they learned that the mother's name was Mary, a very simple and plain name, and her son's name was Philip.
"There is nothing in common in each case, the only intersection is that they all live in that area." After reading it repeatedly, Long Yuehong frowned and expressed his thoughts.
"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao seemed to be deliberately imitating Long Yuehong.
Jiang Bai Mian nodded lightly and said:
"If you extract every two cases, there will indeed be some common points, but normally speaking, there will also be such similarities if you randomly pick two people, but when several cases are put together, there really isn't much intersection, um, except for the area where the disease occurs."
"My analysis results are also the same." Genaeva echoed.
Bai Chen thought for a while and said in a speculative tone:
"I remember there is a sentence in the entertainment data of the Old World, something like this: Exclude all possibilities, and the remaining one, no matter how unbelievable, is the truth.
"Since the only thing in common is that they live in the same area, doesn't that mean that there is a problem with that area? Somewhere in that area, there is a hidden source of infection for this 'Heartless Disease'?"
Long Yuehong subconsciously retorted:
"Then how do you explain that after a concentrated outbreak of cases, the 'Heartless Disease' epidemic will subside, and then, perhaps in a very far away place, there will be another outbreak?"
"Maybe the source of infection grew legs." Shang Jianyao sincerely helped with the reasoning.
Jiang Bai Mian then laughed, looked at Long Yuehong and said:
"What if the source of infection is a living creature, like a person?
"He stayed in this place for a while, and then went to another place, so there were these phenomena that we saw."
"This..." Long Yuehong suddenly felt uneasy, trying desperately to think of details for rebuttal, "But, isn't it said that 'Heartless Disease' will break out from time to time in many places in the Greylands? These places are scattered all over the world, can that source of infection walk all the way here?"
Jiang Bai Mian did not move her gaze away and asked with a smile:
"What if the source of infection is not one person, but a group of people?"
Long Yuehong fell silent, only feeling that the room was quiet to the point of being a little scary.
Jiang Bai Mian sighed and turned to say:
"After initially confirming that the 'Dream Protector' of the 'Mirage Dragon Cult' was infected with 'Heartless Disease' because he entered Jiang Xiaoyue's mind room, I was thinking, like Jiang Xiaoyue, the initial test subjects, could there be many of them? Some of them are still alive and walking in the Greylands, unconsciously causing the people around them to suffer from 'Heartless Disease'?
"There are two problems with this guess that cannot be explained: one is that the company's employees are strictly vetted and well-known, but 'Heartless Disease' still breaks out at least once a year, and the second is that when the Old World was destroyed, countless people in major cities became 'Heartless' at the same time, which doesn't seem like a change that a group of people can bring about by walking around."
"Indeed." Long Yuehong didn't know why he breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Bai Mian looked at Shang Jianyao and said thoughtfully:
"Could this be related to the 'Mind Corridor' that connects everyone's conscious world? Jiang Xiaoyue can have a room there, and that group of people probably also has corresponding rooms, and their certain behavior leads to 'Heartless Disease' permeating the surrounding rooms?"
"I will investigate when I enter the 'Mind Corridor'." Shang Jianyao looked very confident.
Jiang Bai Mian raised her hand and touched her ear, sighing with a wry smile:
"At this time, I especially hope that I am also an Awakened."
Because there are no "Mind Corridor" level experts in the "Old Task Force" for the time being, which means that their subsequent discussions will fall into a situation of empty talk, so Jiang Bai Mian decisively stopped the discussion on this issue, exhaled and said:
"I won't go out in the afternoon, I still have things to do, maybe I have to stay up late."
"What's the matter?" Long Yuehong asked subconsciously.
Jiang Bai Mian gave an "ai" sound:
"Didn't I promise Su Na and the others to create a Red River language introductory textbook?
"Shang Jianyao and I have strolled around in the city before, and found that there is no such thing at all. Even if there is, it is prepared for Red River children, and there is no corresponding Greylands language, so we can only compile it ourselves, and then go to the guild to issue tasks and find a temporary teacher who understands both languages."
"Compile a textbook? There definitely won't be enough time in such a short time." Long Yuehong recalled his Red River language introductory textbook and felt that this could not be completed in one afternoon and one night.
"Normally, it can't be completed." Jiang Bai Mian looked at Genaeva with a smile, "But we have Old Ge."
"What do you need me to do?" Genaeva asked immediately.
Jiang Bai Mian asked back with a smile:
"Do you have Greylands language and Red River language word banks and grammar banks stored in your information?"
"Yes. Otherwise, how would I speak Red River language and Greylands language?" Genaeva moved his metal neck up and down.
Jiang Bai Mian nodded in satisfaction:
"Then filter out the daily needed, relatively simple ones, find a place to print them out, hehe, I said it wrong just now, I still need to go out."
After understanding what was going on, Long Yuehong couldn't help but admire in his heart:
Having a robot companion can really save a lot of trouble!
Jiang Bai Mian continued:
"After we have the draft, we will combine it with the company's textbook and the translator's situation, and make certain revisions and adjustments to the data. Although the workload is still large, I think we should be able to get it out before tomorrow morning.
"And..."
Speaking of this, Jiang Bai Mian showed a smile that made Long Yuehong inexplicably scared:
"And, I didn't say that I am responsible for it alone, you, everyone gets a share!"
As she spoke, she took off the hair tie behind her head and tied her ponytail higher, looking like she was entering a battle state.
"Um." Bai Chen agreed first.
"Okay." Shang Jianyao was half a second slower.
"Okay." "No problem." Long Yuehong and Genaeva were the last.
…………
Early the next morning, Jiang Bai Mian, who had changed the group's sleeping place to the three-bedroom apartment in the Red Giant Wolf District to facilitate "work," stretched her waist and looked at the manuscript in front of her:
"Done!"
A simple version of a Greylands person learning the Red River language introductory textbook was born.
Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and others were also delighted.
Jiang Bai Mian glanced at the time on her wrist, greeted everyone to have breakfast, and at the same time, she turned on the radio transceiver to see if there was a telegram from the Zhao family.
Just after eight o'clock, a telegram came in.
After Jiang Bai Mian decoded it, she read out the corresponding content in a brisk tone:
"Please visit General Focas in the next few days, we have contacted him and agreed on the code to prove your identity, 'Books'...
"His residence is at 18 Citizen Street in the Golden Apple District..."
