long night fire

He didn't respond to Shang Jianyao, nor did he leave. He just stood there, and the illusion created before had disappeared without a trace.

Zhou Yue's heart skipped a beat, she took two steps forward, and stood side by side with Shang Jianyao.

She looked at the "higher heartless person" and asked softly:

"Are you Fan Protector?"

The gray-haired old man looked at her with the gaze of a beast, without changing his expression or opening his mouth.

"I'll take it for granted." Zhou Yue sighed, "Since you disappeared, your wife has never been able to find you. She was overwhelmed with anxiety, fell seriously ill, and couldn't be cured... Your child and your granddaughter never gave up. , wandering in the ashes, looking for every place you might go... The sect has issued orders to every Taoist temple, be sure to pay attention to your tracks..."

The "advanced mindless person" listened quietly, not knowing if he understood.

But the rumble in his throat had completely disappeared.

When Zhou Yue finished speaking, he suddenly let out a sobbing sound, turned around, and ran out of Nanke Temple like a wild ape.

Because of his danger, Jiang Baimian did not stop him.

"Huh, the information he wanted to convey turned out to be the numbers 'five', 'zero', and 'three'..." Jiang Baimian was paying attention to the door, not moving randomly, so as not to be affected by the illusion, while talking to himself, "This represents, represents..."

While she was hesitating, she suddenly had an inspiration:

"Is this the house number representing Jiang Xiaoyue's spiritual world in the 'Mind Corridor'?"

"Maybe." Zhou Yue nodded slightly, "Every door in the 'Soul Corridor' has a different number, and I don't know how it came about."

"Electricity, ID number?" Shang Jianyao seemed to want to say the electronic card number, but forcibly changed it to something similar in the old world.

"It's not that long." Zhou Yue denied the guess.

Jiang Baimian let out a "hmm":

"So, the 'High Mindless One' reminds the other 'Dream Protectors' of your sect to avoid room 503 of the 'Mind Corridor'?"

Or concentrate on manpower, and under the blessing of Zhi Sui, do a thorough cleanup.

"Maybe." Zhou Yue didn't know much about this aspect, so he could only answer with ambiguous words.

When they were discussing the numbers "five", "zero" and "three", a wild beast's roar suddenly came from outside Nanke's view:

"Wow!"

The voice was shrill and hoarse.

The three of them looked at each other, each holding a mirror, looking around, and walking towards the door.

As soon as they passed through the courtyard and came to the street, they saw the "higher mindless person" standing on the top of the opposite building.

With countless dots of stars twinkling, he leaped forward vigorously.

His figure fell rapidly, and his long gray hair fluttered.

Snapped!

The Higher Mindless One fell to the street in a tattered sack.

Bright red and dazzling blood flowed quickly from under his body, as if creating a puddle of water.

Such a scene was frozen in the eyes of Shang Jianyao, Jiang Baimian and Zhou Yue.

——When they arrived, the target had no sound, and there was no trace of being alive.

At this moment, Jiang Baimian recalled the scene of Jiang Xiaoyue committing suicide by jumping off the building in horror, and sighed uncontrollably.

Zhou Yue stared at it for a while, then sighed silently, leaned back halfway, and opened her arms slightly.

Then, in an ethereal solemn tone, she said:

"The new world lies beyond the maze.

"May you please the gods."

After finishing the short prayer and blessing, Zhou Yue saw the tall young man from Qian Bai's team walk up to the corpse and stared at it quietly for a few seconds.

Then, he took off the short dark blue down jacket, squatted down softly, and covered the dead man's face with the clothes, covering the cloudy eyes staring at the sky out of focus.

Phew... Jiang Baimian sighed again.

……

Nanke Temple.

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao worked together to move the body of the "advanced unintentional person" in, and followed the teachings of the "Dragon Sect", replaced the short down jacket with a white towel to cover the body of the deceased. face.

This means that you will never fall into a dream again.

Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and Zhou Yue sat down cross-legged one after another, guarding the corpse, waiting for dawn.

The wordless silence lasted for quite a while, and Jiang Baimian broke the atmosphere like chatting:

"Zhou Guanzhu, do you think he ended his life as an 'unintentional person' by jumping off the building with the last bit of reason, or was he influenced by Jiang Xiaoyue's spiritual world and repeated the act of jumping off the building?"

Zhou Yue stared at the corpse covered with a white towel, and moved the corners of her mouth without a smile:

"I hope it's that reason.

"In this way, he escaped from the illusion as a human being."

Jiang Baimian was silent for a while, then asked:

"Zhou Guanzhu, how did you join the 'Mirage Dragon Cult'?"

Zhou Yue looked away, smiled and said:

"I am an orphan adopted by the 'Mirage Dragon Sect'. I grew up in the sect since I was a child, and there is no saying whether to join or not."

"No wonder you follow the teachings of the 'Dragon Sect' so much, you have integrated it into your daily behavior." Jiang Baimian nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Shang Jianyao, who was sitting cross-legged next to her, was still staring at the corpse, his eyes were quiet, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Zhou Yue laughed at herself and shook her head:

"No, I wasn't like this before."

"Huh?" Jiang Baimian made a questioning voice.

Zhou Yue raised his head slightly, not knowing whether he was looking at the beam of Nanke Temple, or Zhi Sui in the void:

"I once had a very good friend who was also an orphan adopted by the sect, and we lived in the same room for many years.

"We agreed that whoever becomes a 'Dream Introducer', or even a 'Dream Taoist', will apply to the Taoist temple where he is, and be a good friend for life.

"Later, one day..."

Having said that, Zhou Yue paused for a moment, her gaze seemed a little empty:

"She has 'no heart disease'."

Jiang Baimian opened his mouth, but couldn't find the right words.

Zhou Yue turned around and said:

"When I became an adult, I fell in love with a classmate. He was a very nice guy, tall and shy. When he saw us girls, he always hesitated and couldn't say much.

"He is still very kind. Once, he followed other members of the sect to a settlement of wanderers in the wilderness that was flooded, to relieve the victims there, and to find suitable children to bring back and raise."

When saying these words, Zhou Yue had a faint smile on his face, as if he had returned to the beginning.

"Later, later..." Her expression gradually became blank, "They told me that a plague broke out in that settlement, and he couldn't come back."

After being silent for a few seconds, Zhou Yue looked at Jiang Baimian and showed her usual smile:

"Dreams everywhere, why take it seriously?"

Chapter 167 Celebrities

Looking at Zhou Yue's smiling face, Jiang Baimian was silent for a while.

In the yellowish light of the light bulb, she gave up all extra thoughts and said to herself:

"I have seen a lot of materials, they come from certain wilderness settlements, some are private diaries, some are production records, and some are distribution lists.

"Through them, I seem to see groups of human beings struggling to survive in that chaotic and harsh environment, relying on not-so-clean water sources, not-so-high-yield farmland, and abandoned towns and villages.

"I can feel their heartfelt joy when they finally find a clean water source or water purification chip, I can feel their pride when they have worked so hard to dredge the ditches and lay the foundation for next year's planting, and I can feel their harvest or hunting. Happiness when they are enough beasts, can feel their cherishment of every sacrifice, and the comfort of the settlement under protection.

"Looking at these materials, I feel like joining them and experiencing the satisfaction from scratch together."

Zhou Yue was engrossed in hearing this:

"and after?"

Jiang Baimian looked down at the corpse, smiled and said:

"Later, a 'no-heart disease' broke out, and many people lost their minds overnight and turned into beasts, attacking their companions who had fought side by side.

"The settlements built by so many people have been destroyed in a blink of an eye, and there are only some materials left that can tell that they have worked hard and struggled.

"If we had found out a little later, perhaps those materials would have blown into the wind too.

"Well, there are also some plagues, some weather changes that bring famine, and some are broken by bandits and some powerful forces after trying their best to resist. It is better than a situation where it is sudden and there is no way to effectively fight against it."

Zhou Yue opened her mouth, she didn't know if she wanted to sigh, or to say "Dream everywhere, why take it seriously".

At this moment, she heard Jiang Baimian's tone become a little erratic:

"That's why I have always hoped to find out the pathogenesis and transmission mechanism of 'No Heart Disease' and the reason for the destruction of the old world, otherwise all my efforts will be in vain.

"Even if this is just a dream, I will work hard to change it before I wake up."

Having said that, Jiang Baimian laughed at himself:

"Rebuilding order, restoring production, and changing the environment are also an important part of saving the world, but it's up to those big forces to do it, and it's not our turn to worry about it.

"We can only set ourselves a goal that sounds unrealistic."

At this time, Shang Jianyao raised his head, looked at Zhou Yue, and asked with a smile:

"So, are you going to save all of humanity with us?"

If it were someone else, they would definitely sneer secretly at this time, but Zhou Yue, adhering to the concept of "dreaming everywhere, why take it seriously", responded with a smile:

"We are also saving all mankind.

"Our goal is to let everyone believe in the 'Broken Mirror', serve Him, please Him, and finally, with His help, get rid of the dream and enter a new world without 'Heart Disease', war, plague, and famine."

Since Zhou Yue didn't laugh at her own ideals, Jiang Baimian didn't say "self-reliance" and "don't pin your hopes on the illusory Zhisui", etc. She smiled and said:

"Let's see which side of us can succeed sooner."

"Do you want to compare?" Shang Jianyao helped to fill in a question.

Zhou Yue shook his head and said with a smile:

"No matter which side we succeed, it's a good thing, there's no need to compare."

As she spoke, she said with emotion:

"With the strength shown by your team, you will never worry about the source of food on the gray soil. You can find a big force to settle down and live a better and more stable life, for example, Tarnan."

"But maybe one day, they will suffer from 'no-heart disease'." Jiang Baimian looked at Shang Jianyao, "And I don't know if it will be my turn next, it cannot be prevented, and there is no way to prevent it." Healing, and it is impossible to figure out who will be 'drawn'."

Perhaps it is precisely because of this fear of the unknown that those people who have initially solved their food and clothing within the major forces will also be developed into believers by various sects, whether open or hidden.

On the gray soil, almost no group really has a sense of security.

If you really want to find one, the employees of "Pangaea Biology" can barely count.

Zhou Yue was at a loss for words for a while, and then said after a while:

"I just want to express my admiration for your strength."

"Did you see it?" Shang Jianyao was "surprised".

Jiang Baimian also added in a funny way:

"It seems we didn't do anything?"

In addition to stunned a bunch of people in the "Wild Pigeon" bar, preventing them from being affected by hallucinations, not killing each other, and sticking to their own defense zone for a day and a night, and not letting the "higher heartless" break through these two things, "Old Tune Group "I haven't played much of my strength.

Zhou Yue replied casually:

"To be able to survive after he repeatedly exerted the influence of hallucinations, to allow him to actively create illusions from Jiang Xiaoyue's spiritual world, to be able to speculate and interpret the hidden information behind it, and to choose to stay behind without fear of danger, all show that you have brains, And I am very confident in my own strength.”

"He" refers to the "Higher Heartless One" on the ground.
