In Jitis's heart, Koningmis was a place that all the Great Knights of the "White Knights Order" combined wouldn't dare to go. As long as one was human, going there would inevitably lead to infection with the "Heartless Disease."

Back when she possessed the Bodhi statue, she never even considered creating an avatar to gather supplies in Koningmis, fearing that the "Heartless Disease" would infect her main body.

Now, this team in front of her had not only been to Koningmis but had also returned to Gestburg alive.

They even claimed to have solved the problem of Koningmis, completely eradicating the "Heartless Disease" that had spread there, making it no longer a taboo!

While Jitis found it hard to believe, Shang Jianyao answered with unusual sincerity and considerable humility:

"We just made a tiny contribution."

That's the truth... Who knows which Ruling God solved the problem of Koningmis? Most likely it was the "Master of Fate" boss. We were just responsible for "delivering" the related items... Jiang Baimian muttered to herself.

She wasn't too concerned about Shang Jianyao telling Jitis about Koningmis being restored to normal, not worried that it would reveal the fact that the "Old Task Force" had completed all its missions.

Because Jitis would definitely not publicize this matter and let others seize the opportunity. And the teams she had organized the previous two or three times were definitely trustworthy. Those people would not spread the chance to make a fortune everywhere, lest it add competitive pressure and prevent them from selecting the best and most valuable supplies.

Although, given the tendency of most relic hunters in Gestburg to brag, after they had done two or three explorations and then had a drink of smuggled liquor, they might not be able to keep the secret. Anyway, Koningmis was so big that no matter how many relic hunters there were, they wouldn't be able to empty it within a year and a half, but that would be at least a month later. The "Old Task Force" should have completed its planned goals by then.

Since that was the case, then it was only right to favor a friend.

A tiny contribution... Jitis stared at Shang Jianyao for a few seconds, giving up on the intention to pursue the matter further.

This group had too many mysteries, and the more she knew, the more dangerous it would be.

She controlled her shocked and surprised emotions, putting her mind back on the real-world problem:

"Are there still many 'Heartless Ones' in Koningmis?"

If there were still many, or if they were relatively strong, then she would have to carefully consider the composition of the team.

"They should all be dead," Shang Jianyao answered truthfully. "Anyway, we didn't encounter any this time."

Jiang Baimian nodded along:

"The food in Koningmis has all been consumed. Even if there are still 'Heartless Ones,' with summer approaching, they will search for food in the surrounding areas instead of staying in Koningmis."

"But you still have to be very careful. The 'Heartless Ones' that can still survive in Koningmis must be very strong," Shang Jianyao added as a reminder.

After saying goodbye to Jitis, the "Old Task Force" went upstairs and entered the booked suite.

Jiang Baimian threw her tactical backpack aside, sat in the single sofa, and said with a smile:

"For the next two or three days, we can relax a little. The main task is to replenish electricity and store supplies."

"You can't truly relax on the surface," Shang Jianyao replied.

Then, he explained:

"I'm speaking for Xiaohong."

"I don't think so!" Long Yuehong immediately retorted.

Although he certainly couldn't relax as much as he could inside the company, he wasn't so neurotic when he was in a safe area. After all, his wife was lying next to him, and there were trustworthy companions on guard outside.

Jiang Baimian stopped Shang Jianyao from saying anything further and let out a breath:

"It's getting late. We need to think about what to eat."

Shang Jianyao's eyes lit up, and his attention was instantly diverted.

...

In the dark night, after Shang Jianyao lay down on the bed, he once again entered the "Mind Corridor" and squatted in front of the "205" room representing the February Ruling God, "Dawn."

The Rash Shang Jianyao broke free and shouted impatiently:

"Can we go in this time?"

The Honest Shang Jianyao stood on his own:

"Yeah, we don't lie to ourselves. The two goals we set before have now been completed.

"Didn't we say that if we found the specific location of the Eighth Research Institute and explored Koningmis, we could go in, even if we encountered something, and die without regrets?"

"Yeah, yeah," another Shang Jianyao echoed.

He always stood on the side of reason.

The Sinister and Vicious Shang Jianyao snorted:

"If you want to die, don't drag us down!"

"It's as if I want to drag you down. If I couldn't get rid of you, you coward, I would have gone solo long ago!" The Rash Shang Jianyao responded unceremoniously.

There was no need to be polite to himself.

The Novelty-Seeking Shang Jianyao also chimed in:

"I wonder what it will be like to explore the Ruling God's room, what we will gain..."

His tone was filled with strong longing.

Seeing that the people's hearts were about to scatter and the team was becoming difficult to lead, the Calm and Rational Shang Jianyao walked towards "205" step by step.

Just as several Shang Jianyaos were about to cheer, this Shang Jianyao suddenly turned around and blocked the entrance to "205."

He looked around and said:

"We still haven't figured out why the Ruling Gods are keeping humans in captivity, what dangers are hidden within the company. Do you hope to prematurely sacrifice your useful bodies and let everyone in the company slide into the bottomless abyss?"

"I don't want to die with such burdens," Shang Jianyao, whose eyes were still a little red and swollen, said in agreement.

"Yeah, yeah," the Echoing Shang Jianyao was like grass on the wall, swaying in whatever direction the wind blew.

"Namo Amitabha." The half-mechanical, half-human Pudu Zen Master raised his palm and said earnestly, "Liberate others before liberating yourself, liberating others is liberating yourself."

No one paid attention to the Buddhist proverb he had finally come up with. The Righteous Shang Jianyao, who hated evil like the plague, said:

"If you can't even save everyone in the company, how can you talk about saving all of humanity?"

The Shang Jianyao with the most cheerful personality looked at his colleagues with a smile:

"Since there is a dispute, let's vote."

After a vote, the Shang Jianyao Democratic Consultative Conference passed the motion to first unravel the mystery of why the Ruling Gods keep humans in captivity before exploring the "205" room with a vote of six to four.

"Sigh," the Novelty-Seeking Shang Jianyao sighed heavily, "Why haven't we ever explored the mind rooms of the Awakened from Dusk City?"

That way, it might be easier to pinpoint the specific location of Dusk City, or even directly obtain the answer to why the Ruling Gods are keeping humans in captivity.

"Bad luck," the Honest Shang Jianyao replied.

"It may also be that someone doesn't want us to encounter it," the Sinister and Vicious Shang Jianyao sneered.

While speaking, they gathered together, merging ten into one, and walked deeper into the "Mind Corridor" to see if they could find a door to the "New World" or something related to Dusk City in other rooms.

After walking for a while, Shang Jianyao's gaze went blank again.

Not far ahead of him, a vermilion door had the number "503" written on it.

This was the room belonging to Jiang Xiaoyue.

...

"You didn't even go in?" The next morning, Jiang Baimian asked with a mixture of relief and amusement after hearing Shang Jianyao's report.

Shang Jianyao said solemnly:

"The danger level of the '503' room may not be lower than '205'."

Thump, thump, thump, this time it was Genaeva applauding for Shang Jianyao.

Shang Jianyao put on a regretful expression:

"It's a pity that Old Ge can't enter the 'Mind Corridor,' otherwise we could let him explore '503'."

The danger currently exhibited by the "503" room is to cause the explorer to suffer from "Heartless Disease," and robots do not have "Heartless Disease."

"Well, let's discuss this issue again tonight, let's go out and purchase supplies now," Jiang Baimian nodded.

They still had some coins left from before.

Downstairs, Long Yuehong saw a security officer leave the front desk and walk out of the hotel.

Jitis was still working during the day today.

"What was he asking about?" Shang Jianyao approached in the manner of a familiar acquaintance.

Jitis looked around, lowered her voice, and said:

"Iman is the deputy leader of the local Knights Order. His death has been taken seriously by the Great Knights, and they have been investigating the real cause."

"They suspect you?" Jiang Baimian asked before Shang Jianyao could.

Jitis shook her head:

"Fortunately, I insisted on not using avatars to seek illegitimate gains. Iman and I have no contact on the surface. They have no reason to suspect me.

"Those security officers just know that I am a reasonably good intelligence merchant and want to see if I have any clues here."

Jiang Baimian nodded slowly.

Immediately afterwards, she lowered her voice and said:

"In the future, do not mention Iman and avatars in any place or occasion, even if there is no one around, even if you are communicating with us.

"I think no one knows better than you what 'walls have ears' means."

Jitis was not the only one with the ability of "Clairaudience."

Jitis's expression changed slightly, and she nodded solemnly.

Just as Shang Jianyao was about to say goodbye to this friend and go to different places in Gestburg to purchase supplies, Bai Chen suddenly asked:

"Have you heard of Dusk City?

"In the three years you've been working as an intelligence merchant, have you heard of Dusk City?"
