Shang Jianyao jumped up and shouted into the receiver from afar, Why Are You Looking For Me?

He enunciated each word clearly. When he reached the last word, he had already run to Jiang Baimians side and taken the receiver.

The entire process was smooth and natural. It perfectly showcased his coordination, balance, running speed, and timing.

Jiang Baimian was first stunned before she understood and mouthed to Shang Jianyao, Do you need me to add some special effects?

This fellow was mimicking a scene from an Old World drama serial.

As Shang Jianyao smiled at her, he spoke to the person on the other end of the line.

After a few sentences, he put down the receiver and said in high spirits, Director Su is looking for me.

Director Su Yu was in charge of the Security Department.

Why is Director Su looking for you? Long Yuehong asked in confusion.

Shang Jianyao shook his head. I dont know either.

Jiang Baimian deliberated for a few seconds and guessed, Youve already come clean that you are an Awakened. The price you paid is mental problems, so the C-14 project teams tests and the psychiatrists evaluations will become unnecessary. The observation will probably be directly handed over to Director Suwho is also an Awakened and a board member.

Professional matters were left to the professionals.

Shang Jianyao was stunned for a moment before he shouted, No!

Why? Bai Chen didnt understand this fellows reaction.

Shang Jianyao had a disappointed expression. Its quite comfortable chatting with Dr. Lin. The canteen exclusive to the C-14 project team also has very delicious food.

Jiang Baimian held in her laughter and said, I can only say that Im sorry for your loss.

Shang Jianyao fell silent for a while before letting out a long sigh. One has to know how to look forward. I wonder how the food at the boards exclusive canteen is

At this point, his eyes lit up again, and he looked eager.

Underground building, fifth floor, Management Zone.

Shang Jianyao met Director Su Yu in Room 506.

Su Yu stood around the sofas and pointed opposite him. He smiled and said, Come over and have a seat.

At this moment, the guards in bionic artificial intelligence armor had yet to leave the room.

Shang Jianyao looked at the office area with a large wooden table and a black high-back chair and asked Su Yu in confusion, Director Su, why dont we talk over there? You can sit where you are, and Ill just sit opposite the table. That seems more formal.

Before Su Yuwho was wearing a gray combat uniformcould answer, the honest Shang Jianyao continued, This is to show politeness.

Su Yuwho was in his fortiesblushed and coughed. Were just having a casual chat, not business. Have a seat. Have a seat.

His thick eyebrows, large eyes, and square facewhich was covered in pockmarks due to the elementsinstantly returned to normal.

After the guards left the room, Shang Jianyao sat on the long sofa opposite him.

Su Yu smiled and said, Ive already read the report submitted by Old Jiangs daughter. I want to hear you say it againfrom your perspective.

Shang Jianyao a.s.sumed a posture. Thats a long story.

Su Yu habitually wanted to say, Its fine; feel free to tell me. However, he remembered this fellows usual behavior and suppressed that thought. He only smiled and didnt say a word.

Shang Jianyao waited for a while before sighing regretfully. He then seriously recounted the Old Task Forces experience from the steelworks factory ruins to Tai City.

Without a doubt, he depicted the version that Jiang Baimian had reviewed. The only difference was him emphasizing the small jade Buddhas role.

This was rarely reflected in the telegrams content in the past, but the report Jiang Baimian submitted also mentioned that the Old Task Force had only truly confirmed that the item obtained from the steelworks factory ruins was sufficiently special after the incident in Tai City.

As Su Yu listened, he nodded from time to time and said, With that jade Buddha and the Six Senses Beads, you can discover the New World node even without the Life Angel necklace.

At this point, he praised, You guys found a way to deal with a New World node the first time you encountered oneby flus.h.i.+ng it with high-intensity electric currents. Both your abilities and brains are indeed outstanding.

Shang Jianyao became modest on Jiang Baimians behalf. Its just luck.

Su Yu thought for a moment before asking, Apart from that, what changes have you undergone?

Shang Jianyao instantly revealed an I wont be sleepy if we talk about this expression. When I encountered Master Zhuangs dream in Tai Citys No. 1 Senior High School, I tried to sleep at the school entrance to observe the changes that would happen around my Mind Room.

What did you discover? Su Yus expression unconsciously turned solemn.

Shang Jianyao smiled. A room appeared out of thin air102!

102 Su Yus pupils slightly dilated as he muttered to himself. After a few seconds, he let out a long sigh. So Room 102 corresponds to the Kalendaria, Master Zhuang. Apart from Yama Tiger, an Awakened from the company also entered this room and went completely crazy.

As he spoke, he picked up the porcelain cup and took a large gulp.

Shang Jianyao curiously asked, How can you be sure that the person also entered 102?

Every Mind Corridor-level Awakened in the company will report the door number they plan on exploring to the Board of Directors before the exploration of a new room. This way, theres still a chance of being rescued, Su Yu replied calmly.

Smack!

Shang Jianyao slapped his thigh. I didnt report mine!

Su Yu was stunned for a moment before asking, You entered a new room, a room that wasnt given in the information? Before exploring the Mind Corridors depths, just follow the instructions given in the information and clear the psychological traumas step by step!

As for seeking their own door that led to the New World later, that was a relatively private matter. However, n.o.body would easily attempt an unfamiliar destination unless they couldnt find anything in the rooms mentioned in the information.

This was also the reason why he didnt warn Shang Jianyao previously. Who would abandon the easy for the difficult?

Su Yu couldnt help but wonder if he had underestimated Shang Jianyaos mental illness.

Perhaps he isnt just suffering from a split personality. There are other problems, or perhaps the split personalities like to go to extremes?

Su Yu quickly speculated the reason.

Shang Jianyao nodded without hesitation. Thats right.

He raised his finger and counted them one by one. 522, 912

Su Yu listened in silence and asked with a frown, You didnt explore 102, right?

Im not stupid! Shang Jianyao replied truthfully.

This made Su Yu feel that he appeared relatively stupid for asking this question.

He organized his words and said, Write up the general situation of those rooms later and submit it to me. Consider this a contribution. Theres a corresponding reward. Dont worry; its definitely generous.

Shang Jianyao didnt hide his excitement. Sure, sure!

Su Yu took a deep breath and said, You shouldve opened 102s door and looked inside. What exactly did you see?

Shang Jianyao didnt hide anything and simply described it. The dream in Tai Citys No. 1 Senior High School and a scene suspected to be the entrance of Linhe Village in Dajiang City

Su Yu listened very attentively. After discussing this matter, he asked in concern, Are you alright?

Shang Jianyao nodded. Were all fine.

Su Yu wasnt surprised and tersely acknowledged it. Actually, the severity of your price will slowly deepen before you enter the New World; it wont be too exaggerated. Its the same even when you explore the Mind Corridors depths.

Upon mentioning the power node deep in the Mind Corridor, Su Yu took the opportunity to ask, How many rooms are you missing?

Shang Jianyao a.s.sumed a posture of recalling and calculating. In theory, one more.

He was definitely honest.

Not bad. Su Yu nodded slightly. It seems like you gained a lot from exploring new rooms.

It was alright, Shang Jianyao replied humbly.

Su Yu reminded him, Once you reach deep in the Mind Corridor, there are two major changes: The first is that you can separate your aura and create items yourself.

The second is that if you grasp a certain persons mind coordinates, you can open the corresponding pa.s.sage and descend directly. This will also allow the chaos in your Sea of Origins to be restrained to a certain extent.

Theres no qualitative improvement in strength.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Shang Jianyao clapped for Director Su.

Su Yus eyebrows twitched slightly as he said, Any questions?

Shang Jianyao thought for a moment and asked seriously, Director Su, why dont you organize Mind Corridor-level Awakened to hold regular gatherings to exchange thoughts, sing, and dance? This can effectively enhance team cohesion!

Su Yu frowned. The negative price of every Mind Corridor-level Awakened is relatively serious. If we forcefully gather them together, not only might they not be able to become friends, but its also easy to become enemies.

Shang Jianyao nodded and laughed. I thought of another reason. If we allow Mind Corridor-level Awakened to know each other and succeed in forming a team, it will be difficult for the Board of Directors to manage them!

Su Yus expression immediately froze.

Watch it. You will be silenced if you tell the truth! The honest Shang Jianyao grumbled at his rash peer.

Su Yu undoubtedly heard this.

He rubbed his cheeks and smiled. Thats about it for today. I might request you to go through two to three physical examinations in the future.

No problem! Shang Jianyao replied firmly.

After he walked out of Room 506, Su Yu leaned back and placed his left hand on the armchairs armrest. He looked at the air ahead and fell into deep thought.

At this moment, the door opened again with a clang.

As Shang Jianyao resisted the guards interception, he jumped up and shouted, Director Su, I have another question! Can I have lunch in the canteen on this floor?

Su Yu rubbed his temples and forced a smile. Sure.

Finally, Shang Jianyao quietly left.

Su Yu took nearly a minute to regain his composure. He gently patted the sofas armrest, looked at the air in front of him, and muttered to himself thoughtfully,

102
