Chapter 888: Separation

Bai Chens concerns were very reasonable. This was also what Long Yuehong was worried about.

Although it was impossible for Pangu Biology to brazenly make them undergo a memory inspection, n.o.body could be sure if there were any hidden inspections for key personnel.

Bai Chen and Long Yuehong could resist the personnel in charge of flipping through memories by recalling Eidolon Nuns gaze and Master Zhuangs dream from time to time. However, it was impossible for them not to sleep. As long as they slept, they wouldnt be able to control themselves. Secondly, any form of resistance only served to reveal their intentions of hiding. If the person who flipped through their memories was shocked and something went wrong, Pangu Biology would definitely pay more attention to them.

Thats right, thats right. Long Yuehong didnt hide his worry.

What should we do? The honest Shang Jianyao didnt put on a brave front at all.

Jiang Baimian laughed. Why are you looking at me? I dont have the Awakened ability to control memories.

Thats not what your expression says, the honest Shang Jianyao pointed out.

Long Yuehong nodded.

Support our newn0vel(0rg)

The team leaders expression was filled with this problem is very easy to resolve.

Jiang Baimian smiled and said, I have no solution, but it doesnt mean that others dont. Teacher Du Heng has a mysterious ident.i.ty, has plenty of experience, and is knowledgeable. He might know how to deal with such situations.

Thats right! Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and punched his left palm.

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen nodded one after another.

With a big shot who could chase Xiaochong all over the place, why did they need to glumly think of a solution? It was only when Teacher Du Heng really had no solution that they had to consider other countermeasures.

After the Old Task Force preliminarily finalized their subsequent plan, they left the rooftop and returned to their suite.

Du Heng sat in an armchair and leisurely looked at the relatively clean sky outside the window. It was unknown what he was thinking.

Upon hearing the door open, he turned around and asked with a smile, How is it? Have you made a decision?

As the Old Task Forces representative, Jiang Baimian smiled. Teacher Du Heng, weve already decided to split into two teams. One team will follow you to the Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes headquarters, while the other will be busy with other matters.

Du Heng nodded slightly and smiled. Sure, as long as theres s.p.a.ce for me in the car.

Shang Jianyao took the opportunity to add on Jiang Baimians behalf, However, the other sub-team might very well encounter an Awakened in the Last Man domain. We dont want some of our memories to be dug out, but we cant make it too obvious. Its not good to resist them openly. Teacher Du Heng, you are knowledgeable. Do you have any good suggestions?

Du Heng thought for a few seconds and chuckled. Thats simple.

Simple

Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen instantly felt blinded. They controlled their expressions and listened to Du Hengs explanation.

Just add a state to that portion of memories. That way, Awakened in the Last Man domain will subconsciously be affected when they flip through that portion of memories. They will ignore it and skip it.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Shang Jianyao clapped

Genavawho was pretending to be an ordinary robotforced himself not to join in a duet.

But we dont have the ability to add a state to some memories. Jiang Baimian admitted their inadequacies. What she meant was that if it were convenient for him, he might as well demonstrate it.

I can help with that, said Du Heng with a smile. Which memories do you want to add a special state to?

As Jiang Baimian observed Du Hengs reaction, she pointed at Long Yuehong and Bai Chen. The memories related to the Kalendarias rearing of humans.

Upon hearing the mystery of the Kalendarium rearing humans, Du Hengs eyelids twitched as though he had fallen into a particular memory. After more than ten seconds, he returned to normal and nodded at Bai Chen and Long Yuehong. Go through the relevant memories in your minds now. Dont miss anything.

It was obvious that he couldnt read or extract other peoples memories directly. He needed their cooperation.

Alright. Bai Chen didnt hesitate.

She and Long Yuehong began recalling Room 506, all the way to the recording pen left behind by Qin Kewho called himself Du Heng.

Frankly speaking, Long Yuehong was a little terrified when he recalled the crazy Qin Ke calling himself Du Heng. After all, the person sitting in front of him was also called Du Heng.

Fortunately, Du Heng didnt seem to have any reaction to this. Or perhaps he couldnt read memories and could only add a state to the target to make the things he was recalling contain hidden powers.

Thats all, Bai Chen said at the end of her recollection.

Du Heng nodded slightly. Alright, its done.

Ah Thats it? Why didnt I feel anything?

Long Yuehong felt incomplete.

If Shang Jianyao had said that they were done, he definitely wouldve thought that the other party was pulling a prank. However, Du Heng had always appeared rather reliable.

Thank you. Bai Chen chose to believe him.

Long Yuehong expressed his grat.i.tude.

Jiang Baimian glanced at the sky outside the window. Teacher Du Heng, its noon. Lets go out for lunch.

As you wish. Du Heng stood up with a smile.

When he went to the bathroom, Shang Jianyao suddenly exclaimed.

Whats wrong? Jiang Baimian frowned.

Shang Jianyao held his hands together. Im also familiar with the ability to add a special state to some memories!

Its not like you can. Long Yuehong didnt know what Shang Jianyao was familiar with.

Shang Jianyao smiled. When I used Destiny Connection to evoke Professor Qins memories, I neglected a portion of his memories. I only realized that something was amiss when I entered Ceningmis

He had communicated with Genava about this back then and later informed Jiang Baimian. However, n.o.body had connected Du Hengs solution to this matter.

Jiang Baimian nodded thoughtfully. There are people in the Eighth Research Inst.i.tute who also have such abilities?

n.o.body could answer this question at the moment.

Two days later, outside Gesterbourg.

The Old Task Forces jeep and a dark SUV were parked beside the hill.

Jiang Baimian stood outside the jeep and exhorted Long Yuehong and Bai Chen, Ive already reported the matter to the company. The company has no objections. You can just go back and tell the truth.

The SUV was newly bought, meant for Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Genavas return to the Blackmarsh Wilderness.

The money came from the expensive supplies they had brought back from Ceningmis. On the way to Ceningmis, the Old Task Force had expended a lot of food, leaving some s.p.a.ce in the jeep. Since they were already there, they randomly gathered some things and returned to Gesterbourg to sell them.

Alright. Bai Chen slowly nodded.

Long Yuehong looked at the dark SUVs trunk and suggested, Team Leader, why dont you bring the Chameleon bionic artificial intelligence armor with you? Old Ge probably wont need it in the Blackmarsh Wilderness.

Theres no need; the military exoskeletons are sufficient. Jiang Baimian smiled. Old Ge will be in charge of communications in the future. He might have to rely on Chameleons invisibility to meet you.

Thats right, thats right, Shang Jianyao echoed.

Their equipment allocation plan was to have Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao take away the two relatively new military exoskeletons, the nuclear warhead, and half of the high-performance batteries. The rest would be left to Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, and Genava.

The dark SUV ran on gas.

As for ordinary weapons, whoever often used them held them.

Jiang Baimian looked back at Du Hengwho was sitting in the jeepand said to Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Genava, Theres no need to say anything else. Lets split up.

Bai Chen pursed her lips and nodded. Long Yuehongs heart was rather heavy.

After getting into the SUV, Long Yuehong waved at Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao to bid them farewell. Suddenly, his emotions churned as he added loudly, We must meet again!

Shang Jianyao smiled brightly and waved his hand in response. We will definitely meet again!

Jiang Baimian smiled and waved her hand.

After watching the familiar jeep drive north toward Icefield, Bai Chen wiped her eyes and started the car.

In the jeep, Jiang Baimian looked at the rearview mirror beside the pa.s.senger seat and smiled at Du Heng. Teacher Du Heng, we previously encountered another person named Du Heng.

This name is very common. Du Hengwho was sitting in the back rowdidnt mind.

Jiang Baimian stopped probing and casually found a topic to chat about with Du Heng and Shang Jianyao.

Many places in Icefield remained covered in snow, while the areas without snow were abnormally muddy. This made the Old Task Forces jeep advance very slowly; they didnt manage to go far by evening.

Although Jiang Baimian wasnt too worried about encountering other dangers with Du Heng around, this teacher was terrifying to begin with. Therefore, she still insisted that someone had to be on night duty. As a guest, Du Heng didnt have to do anythingshe and Shang Jianyao took turns.

At midnight, Jiang Baimian began her night duty. Shang Jianyao lay in the pa.s.senger seat and ma.s.saged his temples before entering the Mind Corridor.

After arriving outside Room 205which represented the Kalendaria, Dawnthey didnt wait any longer or quarrel. They took two steps forward, stretched out their right palms, and gripped the bra.s.s handle.

Room 205s vermilion door slowly opened.
