Squid Who Loves Diving

Chapter 936 Old Friends

"Likes meetings..." Shang Jianyao's expression was slightly distorted, as if he had recalled some unpleasant memories.

Du Heng then looked at the ground beneath his feet.

Inside that room, Shang Jianyao, who was seeking novelty and innovation, was playing games with Xiao Chong.

The corresponding door was already pitch black, as if the long night had already arrived.

Du Heng pointed again:

"'Siming', your big boss, the administrative supervisor of the Eighth Research Institute, Zhao Danlin.

"She has three degrees in two countries, is proficient in multiple languages, is strong and shrewd, and handles things efficiently and neatly. She manages the entire Eighth Research Institute in an orderly manner, allowing me to be a hands-off manager and focus on research progress.

"She was originally a very loving person, loved reading books and watching movies, and had both temperament and connotation. But after becoming a Ruling Star, she gradually became like this, which is really unpredictable.

"Her price is excessive sleepiness. Most of the time, she is asleep, and the time she is awake each year does not exceed a month."

Although there are essentially only two languages on the gray earth, one is Gray Earth language and the other is Red River language, they have various dialects and variations, thus forming the so-called multiple languages.

"So, the big boss is usually asleep. No wonder she ignores the believers and doesn't pay much attention to the company." Shang Jianyao suddenly understood.

He listened with great interest.

Du Heng slightly turned his body and looked to the other side.

Inside the corresponding room, the honest Shang Jianyao was asking the autistic teenager Du Shaochong if he had ever had a crush on any girl, and the scene was once very awkward.

The door there twisted, revealing rays of sunlight.

"'Double Sun', security supervisor Brian Stanley." Du Heng said, recalling, "He doesn't know much about Gray Earth culture, but he is very interested. He was tricked by Lin Sui and Duffy Tier into learning radio calisthenics and eye exercises. Later, when he found out the truth, he wasn't angry. Instead, he liked it very much and would do it from time to time.

"His flaw is forgetfulness. This can be used. If something happens later and diverts his attention, he may forget what he came here to do. Well, provided that 'Siming' and the others don't have a chance to remind him."

As "Zhuang Sheng", Du Heng has controlled the "New World" for many years. He can browse the operating logs of other Ruling Stars and read other people's thoughts. He gradually mastered all the prices of all the Ruling Stars.

"Quite an interesting person," Shang Jianyao said.

Du Heng nodded:

"Also, a person who values his freedom very much."

He looked elsewhere again, taking this opportunity to "introduce" the hostile Ruling Stars to Shang Jianyao, so that he could fully understand what kind of people they were and what their prices were, so that he could take targeted actions later.

The corresponding room door was already half open, and behind the door was a dim light, vaguely showing a female figure.

Du Heng smiled and said:

"'Yougu', the financial staff, Yu Huatong.

"At the beginning, she was a particularly lovely girl, and she was also very vigilant in her job, looking at everyone who came to the finance office as if they were trying to report false accounts.

"Her problem is that she is overly sensitive emotionally and is easily depressed, sad, angry, and resentful."

"She helped us a lot." Shang Jianyao said honestly.

Du Heng turned again and pointed to another room:

"'Golden Scale', Richard, one of the main researchers of the project, and he also has some achievements in genetics.

"He is the kind of guy with high intelligence and low emotional intelligence. He is not young but doesn't have a girlfriend. I once suspected that he had a crush on Duffy Tier, but I have never confirmed it.

"His price is obsessive-compulsive symmetry. If you want to use it, you must pay attention. It is a double-edged sword. A little carelessness will make him completely lose his mind and attack frantically."

Shang Jianyao looked at the door that had become golden and symmetrical and asked suspiciously:

"Why are the characteristics they show on the door and their titles so similar?"

"The essence here is a high-dimensional consciousness space. After claiming it for a long time and being talked about by believers for a long time, they unconsciously accepted some of it and naturally showed it." Du Heng explained casually.

He pointed to another room:

"'Mandala', Sylvie, an assistant researcher on the project, mainly helping us with chores.

"She is a very motivated person, especially hardworking, and hopes to be recognized by us and become a formal researcher as soon as possible.

"Her price is an extreme desire for compliments and worship. For this reason, she is willing to bless those corrupt guys. You have to perform well later."

"Oh, oh." Shang Jianyao had an expression on his face that said, "I'm using my brain."

Du Heng turned in a direction:

"'Truth', uh, what's his name?

"He had just entered the research institute at that time, and I didn't recruit him. I never knew his surname or first name. Later, he was replaced by a title, so there was no need to know.

"I remember that his family background seemed to be very good. He was quite arrogant and also relatively romantic.

"His price is a lack of self-discipline. If you ask him a question, he will definitely answer or refute it."

After introducing this, Du Heng closed his eyes and said to himself:

"At the beginning, we all got along very well. We were serious at work, lively in private, and very united, working hard for the same goal..."

Shang Jianyao saw that when Teacher Du Heng opened his eyes, there seemed to be a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.

…………

Inside the vortex-shaped building.

Jiang Baimian spent "a little" time and finally returned to the core research area.

At this time, the flashing lights gave people the feeling that the machines here were about to explode.

Step by step, she came to the few experimental capsules. Jiang Baimian, unable to check the remains of "Bodhi", put down the crate containing the nuclear warhead and opened the transparent cover of another one.

She then put Shang Jianyao's body in and closed the cabin door.

Then, she looked at the operation buttons on the instrument.

There were multiple modes, one of which was labeled "God's Forbidden Zone".

Teacher Du Heng deserves to be a former video game-playing teenager and rebellious high school student. His naming is so characteristic... Jiang Baimian checked the machine while slandering in her heart.

She believed that this was most likely named by Du Heng.

The researchers participating in the corresponding project probably also believed that after the human brain was developed to the extreme, humans would gain the power of gods, and the emergence of experimental results in stages deepened their confidence in this regard.

Jiang Baimian looked up at the silver-black "host" that occupied a large area and the cabinets around it that contained biological chips, and then looked down at Shang Jianyao in the experimental capsule, her right hand hovering above the button, as if frozen there.

After a few seconds, she muttered:

"Destroying the 'New World' doesn't necessarily mean blowing up the machines. Can't you just unplug the power cords?

"Without the 'New World' providing shelter, and the biological chips have stopped running, those Ruling Stars without bodies will definitely, uh, probably die on the spot, and their consciousness will dissipate, while those with bodies can take the opportunity to return to the gray earth..."

Jiang Baimian thought she had to try it. She cautiously left the experimental capsule and came to the nearest cable.

She observed the circuit and determined that these were not the most important cables. They were just right for experiments, so as not to trigger a fierce counterattack from the Ruling Stars.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Baimian pulled back a distance, resolutely raised her right hand, and launched a grenade at the cable.

Boom!

With the sound of the explosion, the cable seemed to have an invisible barrier, blocking all the shrapnel and shock waves outside.

This scene reminded Jiang Baimian of the killing of the Merman's messenger. And the current invisible barrier has no sign of wavering.

Relying on the military exoskeleton device, she avoided the aftermath in time.

After getting up again, Jiang Baimian thought for a while and opened her palm to that place.

A red laser beam spurted out, hitting the invisible barrier, scorching with a sizzling sound, but could not make any progress.

After trying electromagnetic weapons and finding them ineffective, Jiang Baimian turned to the "host".

She wanted to see if the buttons there could be touched.

As she expected, she encountered an invisible barrier before she had completely approached the "host".

"Phew, it seems that I can only touch the experimental capsule... Maybe this is what Teacher Du Heng painstakingly 'fought' for." Jiang Baimian's expression behind the mask was a little dim.

She returned to the experimental capsule where Shang Jianyao was lying.

Looking at Shang Jianyao, who seemed to be sound asleep, Jiang Baimian hesitated for a long time to make a decision.

But she also knew that delaying would only make things worse.

Jiang Baimian closed her eyes and opened them again after a dozen seconds.

She sighed for a long time, stretched out her right hand, and pressed the "God's Forbidden Zone" button resolutely and decisively.

Countless patches and needles stretched out from different parts of the experimental capsule, surrounding Shang Jianyao's head, while other instruments monitored his physical condition.

Jiang Baimian knew that this was already the latest type of experimental machine. When the Eighth Research Institute was first established, they had to "drill" on the head to do further experiments.

…………

"Pangu Biology", underground building.

The elevator was descending rapidly, constantly stopping, and people were constantly coming in and out.

Finally, only Long Yuehong and Bai Chen were left, and the 6th floor where their destination, the radio station, was located was almost there.

The two remained silent until the elevator car door opened.

Long Yuehong walked out, couldn't help but turned his head to look at Bai Chen, and asked in a low voice:

"Are you afraid?"

"Not afraid." Bai Chen shook her head, "I have experienced more desperate situations than this."

Long Yuehong "hmm"ed, and didn't say anything more, but a thought spontaneously emerged in his mind:

"I hope that my and Xiao Bai's children will not encounter similar things in the future, and can live a happy and stable life."

While the thought was turning, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen left the stairwell and walked to the radio station.
