"Head Seven..." Shang Jianyao repeated this slightly strange term, asking curiously, "Where does this term come from?"

Xiong Ming almost imperceptibly curled his lip and said:

"It is said to be a link in the newborn or funeral rituals of the Old World.

"This is the domain governed by my Lord Siming."

Shang Jianyao seemed to find it very interesting and quickly followed up asking:

"Besides 'Head Seven', what else is there?

"Which ones are vacant? When I become a Holy Teacher, I can choose one for myself."

"You have great ambitions, not bad, this is the spirit that we New Humans should have." Xiong Ming nodded slightly, expressing his approval.

He seemed to have already considered this question, and his wooden-like eyes slightly shone:

"Currently known are 'Full Moon', 'Hundred Days', 'Encoffining', 'Mourning', 'Funeral Procession', 'Fifth Seven', 'Wailing'...

"Among them, 'Encoffining', 'Wailing', 'Hundred Days', and 'Funeral Procession' are still vacant. You can consider one of these four, or you can find a way to seize the titles of other Holy Teachers."

Shang Jianyao seriously discussed with Xiong Ming which name sounded better, and then asked:

"Which department is the Head Seven Holy Teacher from?"

Xiong Ming looked at Shang Jianyao for a few seconds with those seemingly immovable eyeballs, and chuckled:

"You should ask the Mourning Holy Teacher about this kind of thing.

"I shouldn't and can't overstep my authority."

Mourning Holy Teacher... Shang Jianyao silently noted this name.

This should be the most mysterious of the Holy Teachers.

"Then I'll go back and ask." Shang Jianyao didn't press the issue.

He glanced at the fluorescent lights on the ceiling and asked seemingly casually:

"How did Shen Du die?

"Who made him get 'Heartless Disease', or rather, what looked like 'Heartless Disease'?"

"Who is Shen Du?" Xiong Ming frowned and asked.

"Ah... then it's nothing." Shang Jianyao revealed a smile.

Xiong Ming thought for a moment:

"Currently, I haven't seen any Awakened whose ability is to make others become 'Heartless Ones', nor anything that looks like it."

Shang Jianyao nodded and said without delay:

"I should go."

He was worried that the more he asked, the more he would reveal, and the effect of "Reasoning Clown" would be destroyed.

At such a close distance, "Sudden Cardiac Arrest" could directly kill someone.

Moreover, he had also obtained the most critical information, so there was no need to stay any longer.

Xiong Ming, wearing a black woolen coat, smiled and raised his hand, waving it:

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye." Shang Jianyao smiled brightly and radiantly, waving his hand enthusiastically and forcefully.

After saying goodbye to Xiong Ming, he entered the corresponding elevator, swiped his card, and lit up the number "647".

…………

Because this was only the second round of courage training, Jiang Baimian was still masochistically hiding in the room next door, and would immediately appear to comfort her team members if anything went wrong.

However, it was not yet 8 o'clock, and it was still early before lights out, so Jiang Baimian leaned back relaxedly on a sofa, flipping through the materials she had taken in advance.

"I'm just too worried." Seeing Shang Jianyao coming in, Jiang Baimian muttered loudly.

She immediately put away her casually placed legs and sat up straight:

"How is it? Did you gain anything?"

She knew that Shang Jianyao would go to Xiong Ming to make friends tonight.

This was also one of the reasons why she stayed on the 647th floor tonight.

If she didn't, in case Shang Jianyao obtained important, critical, and urgent information, he wouldn't be able to submit it immediately.

Sometimes, opportunities are fleeting.

"He admitted that he was the one who killed Wang Yafei." Shang Jianyao said the main point first.

Then, he sat down on the chair opposite the sofa and repeated Xiong Ming's words as completely as possible.

Jiang Baimian originally listened with a serious face, but the four words "Head Seven Holy Teacher" seemed to have some kind of magic, instantly shattering her psychological defenses and making her laugh uncontrollably:

"Haha, your cult, haha, naming is really genius!

"I've seen descriptions of funerals in some books in the Old World. Who knew that someone would actually use one of the links as their title, haha, it's too funny, haha, don't you think it's full of incongruity?"

After laughing for a while, Jiang Baimian held her stomach and said "seriously":

"Xiong Ming doesn't know enough about funerals. I think there's a title you'll definitely like.

"Chanting Spirit Holy Teacher, specializing in chanting scriptures for funerals."

Shang Jianyao listened attentively and shook his head:

"Team Leader, this is a very serious matter."

At this moment, Jiang Baimian seemed to have the feeling that they had taken the wrong script again.

"Huh? What did you say?" She habitually touched her ear, "Well, this matter involves two lives, we can't deviate from the point."

Shang Jianyao seriously responded:

"Choosing a title is a very serious matter."

"..." Jiang Baimian took a deep breath and looked Shang Jianyao up and down several times, as if looking for a place to start.

After a few seconds, she let out a breath of turbid air and said solemnly:

"Now that Xiong Ming has admitted it, our guesses have been confirmed, and he is obviously unwilling to reveal the true identity of the Holy Teacher behind him, then we should report the matter as soon as possible.

"Continuing to investigate further is very dangerous, it is easy to expose, there is no need for this."

Shang Jianyao did not insist:

"Okay."

Jiang Baimian leaned back slightly, resting her right fist on her mouth and nose, posing as if thinking:

"The problem now is how to report it, and to whom to report it.

"I don't want to become a 'Heartless One'."

Shen Du was a cautionary tale.

Before Shang Jianyao could speak, she laughed at herself:

"The other party is like being shrouded in fog, hidden in the darkness. We have no way of knowing who around us is their member and who is not."

"I am." Shang Jianyao replied with great certainty.

"..." Jiang Baimian was speechless, "What I mean is, now I can't even be sure that there are members of 'Life's Ritual' in the senior management of the Security Department or the Board of Directors. If it is reported to them, then the trouble will be great."

Shang Jianyao thought for a moment and said with full confidence:

"I have a way."

"What way?" Jiang Baimian prepared to receive a strange answer.

She didn't stop him because she thought this might bring inspiration. After all, Shang Jianyao's way of thinking about problems was indeed different from normal people.

Shang Jianyao said eagerly:

"Sneak into the broadcasting station, control Hou Yi, and insert this message in the middle of the hourly news.

"At that time, everyone will be able to hear it, and those senior executives who are not 'Life's Ritual' will immediately take action!"

Jiang Baimian listened carefully and carefully pondered it, and blurted out:

"Wow, this method is quite decent.

"This idea is really good, good.

"Since 'Life's Ritual' has not yet controlled the company and does not dare to preach in a flamboyant manner, it means that they are a minority. Even if there are senior executives who are their people, there are definitely not many. As long as we make this message public and let the majority of senior executives know, the difficulty of them making trouble will rise sharply, and they may even have to cut off their tails to survive."

Shang Jianyao immediately got up:

"I'll go now!"

"Stop!" Jiang Baimian stopped the guy in time.

She said unhappily:

"I just said the idea is good, I didn't say the method is feasible!"

"I can easily sneak into the broadcasting station." Shang Jianyao said that the plan was highly feasible.

"I know, you have 'Reasoning Clown', if it weren't for other uses, you could really rename this ability to 'Make a Friend'." Jiang Baimian sighed helplessly, "The problem is what consequences will there be if you do this."

She raised her fingers and analyzed them to Shang Jianyao one by one:

"This can indeed solve the matter of 'Life's Ritual'.

"But if you broadcast it out like this and let everyone know, the company will not be able to take it up heavily and put it down lightly for the bottom-level members of the cult. Aren't they the people you want to protect?

"Moreover, how do you let them bear the strange gazes of the surrounding employees?

"This is the big aspect. On a smaller scale, do you think the company will not investigate the broadcasting station afterwards? At that time, they can easily confirm that you are an Awakened.

"Isn't this what you've always wanted to hide? Then, I, who helped you hide the secret of the Awakened, will definitely be punished, or, get an evaluation of 'failure to recognize people'."

Shang Jianyao was silent for a few seconds and sat down again.

"I'm not too afraid of the company knowing that I'm an Awakened now, I'm just worried about being transferred away from the 'Old Task Force'." He stated his current thoughts.

Jiang Baimian "ummed" and said:

"Don't worry, you don't need to expose yourself for the time being.

"Your idea gave me a simpler and more perfect method."

"What?" Shang Jianyao asked cooperatively.

Jiang Baimian smiled:

"That is to send an email to every member of the Board of Directors and every senior executive of the Security Department, telling the whole story."

"Email?" Shang Jianyao learned this term in textbooks and practiced it in university.

"Yes." Jiang Baimian nodded, "I will say that my team member Shang Jianyao suddenly woke up because of Wang Yafei's death and reported the 'Life's Ritual' cult to me. Then, based on routine investigation reports and medical statistics, I deduced that an Awakened was involved, and was on the 478th floor. Then, Shang Jianyao confirmed that the suspect was Xiong Ming by asking the parties and conducting on-site visits."

Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian sighed:

"This is the email I'm going to send.

"But if Xiong Ming is caught and confesses you, your identity as an Awakened will also be exposed. Fortunately, you don't care too much."

Shang Jianyao said with a serious face:

"I didn't tell Xiong Ming that I'm an Awakened.

"I only said that he has special abilities, and I also have special abilities.

"His special ability is that his eyeballs don't move, and my special ability is that I have mental problems."

"...Do you think the company will believe that Xiong Ming will confide in you so easily?" Jiang Baimian covered her forehead.

She immediately got up:

"I'm going back to send the email now.

"Be prepared to be questioned tonight."

Shang Jianyao nodded and didn't say much. He took the elevator back to the 495th floor.

Under the illumination of the street lights, he walked to No. 196, Block B.

He was about to take out the key and walk to the door when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye.
