Jiang Baimian carefully picked up the top file with her right hand, gloved in black, and began to read it carefully, using the dim light in the shady area.

This was a medical agreement, roughly stating that the patient's guardian was aware of the risks and agreed to allow the patient to receive a new type of treatment, without holding the hospital accountable for any accidents that might occur during the process.

The signatories were Li Jinlong and Fan Wensi, and the stamp was from the "Renhui Hospital Vegetative Rehabilitation Center."

This document clearly stated the patient's name was Li Hui, and the condition was craniocerebral injury.

A very common name, without any special characteristics.

Jiang Baimian placed the agreement on the surface of the desk and picked up the remaining files in the drawer for inspection.

They consisted of a large number of medical records and examination forms, clearly outlining the experience of a car accident coma patient seeking medical treatment everywhere without success.

From these, it could be seen that Fan Wensi and Li Jinlong had really put a lot of effort into saving their son.

Jiang Baimian sighed slightly, feeling a little disappointed at the same time.

Because the contents of these files only confirmed the parts of the "Old Task Force's" basic guesses that had already been confirmed, without anything new, without leading to new clues.

At this moment, Shang Jianyao's voice sounded in her ears:

"Namo Ratna Trayaya.

"Namo Arya..."

Jiang Baimian's forehead twitched as she listened, and she turned her head to find that the guy was facing the wall on the right, chanting something.

"What are you chanting?" she asked with a frown.

Pudu Zen Master Shang Jianyao pointed to a piece of paper pasted on the wall:

"The Great Compassion Mantra."

"The Great Compassion Mantra?" Jiang Baimian took two steps towards Shang Jianyao, casting her gaze to the place he was touching.

There was a piece of yellowed paper pasted there, with the words "Great Compassion Mantra" written at the top.

Below it was "The Great Compassionate Heart Dharani of Avalokitesvara with a Thousand Hands and a Thousand Eyes, Great Perfection and Unobstructedness."

Further down were the scriptures that Shang Jianyao had just chanted, which made Jiang Baimian dizzy.

"Your chanting is wrong, I have the original version of the punctuation and pronunciation in my database." Gevaudan, who had somehow squeezed over, pointed out Shang Jianyao's mistake.

Shang Jianyao didn't care, spread his hands, and tilted his body slightly:

"Everything is an illusion, why be serious?"

This sentence is really omnipotent... Long Yuehong, who was checking the built-in wardrobe with Bai Chen, muttered in his heart.

Jiang Baimian ignored the friendly exchange between Shang Jianyao and Gevaudan, and muttered to herself thoughtfully, looking at the "Great Compassion Mantra":

"Fan Wensi and Li Jinlong had the small jade Buddha hidden on their bones, and now there's the 'Great Compassion Mantra' pasted here, which means they had been believers in Buddhism for a while before the Old World was destroyed.

"Regardless of whether they were believers originally, or sought solace after their son Li Hui had a car accident and became a vegetable, unable to be awakened, it doesn't negate the fact that they believed in Buddhism for a period of time before their death."

"So, that's why the small jade Buddha possessed special characteristics, causing the strangeness in Room 302, Building 4, Area 2 of the Steel Factory family compound, and causing the surrounding area to be called a Buddhist holy site?" Gevaudan tried to interpret Jiang Baimian's meaning.

Jiang Baimian nodded and said to Shang Jianyao:

"You follow the correct punctuation and pronunciation given by Old Ge, and recite the Great Compassion Mantra completely, um, hold the small jade Buddha at the same time, and see if you can stimulate any abnormalities."

"No problem." Shang Jianyao couldn't wait.

He even proclaimed a Buddhist chant:

"Namo Anutpattika-dharma-ksanti."

After Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, and others entered a state of alert, Shang Jianyao held the small jade Buddha in one hand and turned the "Six Senses Beads" in the other. Under the guidance of Gevaudan, he looked at the scriptures on the wall and began to recite them seriously, with the demeanor of a virtuous high priest.

After one recitation of the Great Compassion Mantra, nothing happened.

Pudu Zen Master Shang Jianyao sighed regretfully, and the reckless Shang Jianyao turned his body and said to Long Yuehong:

"Xiao Hong, you climb out of the window and look in from the outside."

This was the method the "Old Task Force" had used to discover the abnormalities in Room 302, Building 4, Area 2 of the Steel Factory ruins, and now they were repeating the trick.

"But this place itself is the real Taicheng covered by the fake Taicheng..." Long Yuehong said subconsciously.

There shouldn't be similar anomalies.

"You have to understand that multi-layered nesting exists." Shang Jianyao, who was cheerful and liked to joke, said earnestly.

"You can try." Jiang Baimian felt that this wasn't a big deal, and it was quite worthwhile to spend a minute or two to eliminate a wrong possibility.

"Be careful." Bai Chen turned his head and exhorted Long Yuehong.

"Yeah." Long Yuehong nodded quickly.

He went around the bed, jumped onto the old-fashioned desk, pushed open the window, and climbed out.

After fixing his body with the mechanical arm, he looked inside.

There was nothing unusual.

After waiting for a few seconds, Long Yuehong returned to the room and shook his head, saying:

"It's normal."

Alas... Shang Jianyao sighed again.

"In fact, compared to the real and fake Taicheng, the situation in Room 302 seems quite strange." Gevaudan said his opinion after analysis, "We couldn't find anything wrong with the fake Taicheng from the outside before, but at that time you could see the situation in the real Room 302 from the window view."

Bai Chen pondered and said:

"Maybe we didn't find the right angle before.

"Since it's fake, there must be flaws, which will be exposed from a certain angle."

Jiang Baimian first "um"ed, indicating her agreement, and then made a guess:

"The window view isn't too unique, so over the years, some of the scavengers who went to the Steel Factory ruins must have climbed to the outer walls of the buildings, trying to remove window frames and other metal objects, didn't they notice the strangeness of Room 302?"

"This possibility is quite low, if you can go through the front door, why climb through the window? Besides, which scavenger who goes to the Steel Factory will follow the rules, when they encounter a locked or broken door, don't they just break it open, instead of going to other rooms and climbing over from the balcony?" Shang Jianyao rubbed his chin, "However, there is also the possibility that the great calamity is approaching, the seal is loosening, and some of the falsehood is leaking out."

You've watched too much Old World entertainment material... Jiang Baimian thought for a while and waved her hand:

"Continue the search."

After nearly a quarter of an hour of work, the "Old Task Force" had new gains.

Long Yuehong found a slip of paper from a green down jacket hanging in the built-in wardrobe.

The slip of paper seemed to have a phone number written on it, with a coding rule that conformed to the situation in the country where Taicheng was originally located.

"This down jacket is a women's style, it should belong to Fan Wensi..." Jiang Baimian analyzed while observing, "The phone number should have been copied to her by someone else, otherwise, she could have directly recorded it in her phone, without so much trouble, um, it can't be ruled out that her phone was out of power at the time, or the place she was in didn't allow mobile phones..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian suddenly paused.

Shang Jianyao smiled sinisterly:

"For example, the place where Li Hui received the new treatment.

"Based on confidentiality clauses, you can't bring your phone in to see the patient."

Long Yuehong took a light breath:

"Is this a phone number that Fan Wensi obtained inside the Renhui Hospital Vegetative Rehabilitation Center?"

"Does this point to a doctor, whom Fan Wensi wanted to know the detailed situation of her son's recovery from?" Gevaudan believed that this was the most likely situation.

Bai Chen, who had been listening for a while, suddenly interjected:

"Maybe it's the rental phone number that Fan Wensi copied when she first arrived in Taicheng.

"Do you remember? We previously speculated that Fan Wensi and Li Jinlong had sought medical treatment everywhere without success, and were discouraged, so they decided to send their son to Taicheng to receive new treatment. At that time, they were willing to take out a sum of money from the compensation they received to buy a new mobile phone.

"In other words, when they first arrived in Taicheng, there was a high probability that they were still using the old mobile phone, the kind that was about to completely break down, sometimes working and sometimes not."

Jiang Baimian "um"ed:

"In that case, the details match up."

"What's the point of saying so much? Try making a call!" The reckless Shang Jianyao suggested.

Jiang Baimian immediately "hehe"ed and smiled:

"The Old World's communication network has long since collapsed, and this phone number is different from the garbled code that Avia gave us, so it shouldn't be possible to dial out."

"It would be terrible if you could dial out..." Long Yuehong muttered in a low voice.

Jiang Baimian then laughed and said to Gevaudan:

"Old Ge, you try.

"Everyone else, be prepared to deal with accidents."

There was no doubt that this call was not successful.

After that, Jiang Baimian also asked Shang Jianyao to try reciting the medical records and using the small jade Buddha in turn, but there were still no abnormal gains.

Based on this, she had no choice but to announce that the exploration of Harbor Home was coming to an end, and the next stop would be Taicheng First Senior High School.

In her mind, Taicheng First Senior High School was comparable to Holm Reproductive Medical Center, and Renhui Hospital Vegetative Rehabilitation Center was equivalent to that secret laboratory in the Wasteland No. 13 Ruins. Between the two, it was clear at a glance which was more dangerous.

Following the map's instructions, the "Old Task Force" arrived at the high school located in the east of the city in about twenty minutes.

It occupied a not-so-small area, with multiple teaching buildings, two office buildings, two dormitory buildings, one laboratory building, one gymnasium, one football field surrounding a plastic runway, and multiple basketball courts pieced together...

Today, this high school is overgrown with weeds and extremely dilapidated.

ps: My brain was twitching, and I set the scheduled update point to a direct update. Just, just consider it an early New Year's greeting to everyone.
