Embers Ad Infinitum

　　 Seeing Jiang Baimian and others looking over, Du Heng pointed to the shadow of the trees in front of him, and said softly:

　　 "Don't move, wait for the abnormal wave to pass."

　　 At this moment, in the ruins of the entire city, the roaring noises are one after another, but they don't die.

　　 Jiang Baimian stared at Du Heng for a few seconds, then nodded to Long Yuehong and others.

　　 Before she could move over, Shang Jian Yao had already jumped to Du Heng, and naturally squatted down.

　　 This scene made Long Yuehong inexplicably familiar, as if returning to the "Pangu Creatures"-whenever dinner was over, people often squatted and chatted like this at the entrance of the "Activity Center".

　　 Jiang Baimian was a bit hesitant at first, so it didn’t matter if she saw it, she squatted to the side, looked around, and said sincerely:

　　 "Thank you for saving us just now."

　　 "It's not about saving, just let you return to normal in advance. As long as you are not attacked before the abnormality subsides, you will recover sooner or later." Du Heng responded with a smile.

　　 "This must be regarded as saving." Jiang Baimian pretended to inadvertently said with emotion, "You are not affected by that kind of fear at all."

　　 At this time, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong also squatted into the shadows, each holding their weapons, guarding in different directions.

　　 Hearing Jiang Baimian’s emotion, Du Heng laughed:

　　 "I am an antiquities scholar and historical researcher who acted alone most of the time. How can I live until now without any support?"

　　 As soon as his voice fell, Shang Jian Yao asked suddenly:

　　 "Are you actually the Awakener?"

　　 Du Heng glanced at him, and smiled not too concerned:

　　 "Strictly speaking, it does count."

　　 "Then what should I do after entering the'Sea of ​​Origin'?" Shang Jianyao was very direct, and had no worries about the current situation.

　　 Du Heng smiled:

　　 "Under normal circumstances, unless there is a pretty good relationship, no awakened person will tell others about this knowledge. Isn't this cultivating opponents for oneself and friends?

　　 "But, hehe, I've always had a bad problem: I'm a good teacher.

　　 "Okay, then let me briefly talk about it:

　　 "When you enter the Sea of ​​Origin, you will encounter various ‘islands’ for you to rest, and there will be different monsters and different bad situations on the ‘islands’ that you need to face and overcome.

　　 "They often correspond to the fear hidden in your heart, or some kind of memory from the past."

　　 Having said that, Du Heng explained it from the beginning:

　　"According to my personal experience and guesses, personal guesses, it doesn’t mean it’s right:

　　"The power of the awakened person comes from the mind and from his own consciousness. The so-called "Hall of Stars" and the "Sea of ​​Origin" are only concrete manifestations of the subconscious.

　　 "When we go all the way, the essence is to tap our inner strength, which requires defeating the shadows of our soul."

　　 Shang Jianyao politely waited until Du Heng finished this paragraph before asking:

　　 "Why does every awakened person see the same "Hall of Stars"?"

　　 Du Heng's entire face seemed to be wrinkled, he smiled bitterly and said:

　　 "This will test me, I really can't explain this matter.

　　" But I heard some speculations:

　　"One is that similar sights are hidden in our subconscious minds, they are the common memory of mankind, and some of the experiences of the common ancestors of mankind in the ages older than the old world;

"The second is that the awakened are the apostles of the gods and the people who have obtained the grace of the gods. The thirteen elders have jointly created the'hall of stars' and other places to help their beloved grow up until they enter the new world. This is possible. The awakened person's abilities are roughly divided into thirteen categories, corresponding to different age-holding domains, resulting in certain associations.

　　 “Therefore, in those religions that believe in ageing, the proportion of awakened people is higher than that of other groups. Of course, it will not be too high, and the number is still limited.”

　　 Jiang Baimian listened very carefully and nodded gently:

　　 "Perhaps many awakened people believe that abilities come from gods and actively join different religions, leading to a higher proportion."

　　 Instead of caring for those who believe in themselves, let them awaken more.

"No investigation, no experiment, I can't give you a definite answer." Du Heng sighed and said, "Unfortunately, the destruction of the old world has been nearly 70 years, and a large-scale war has lasted for almost 20 to 30 years. There are many things that cannot be traced. Otherwise, we can step by step to find the origin of the belief in ageing, and see whether their domain, authority, and in the process of dissemination have been deliberately added by certain awakened persons, and then become It looks like this, or that these things haven't changed since the beginning, and they can even be traced back to before the destruction of the old world. This is the responsibility of our history researchers."

　　 Jiang Baimian feels the same:

　　 "Yes, this is also the driving force that drives me forward."

　　 Du Heng didn't say more about this matter, and resumed the topic just now:

　　 "From the'Hall of Stars' to the'Sea of ​​Origins', what we need is to deeply explore and master our own abilities."

　　 He paused, glanced at Shang Jian Yao, and said with a smile:

　　 "This step, you should be almost done, otherwise you won't ask the question just now.

　　"When you enter the'Sea of ​​Origins' and defeat all the shadows in your heart, you will have the opportunity to find yourself, accept him, and accommodate him, so that your heart will be filled.

　　"This will give you a certain qualitative change, and both the boundary of the effect and the range of influence will be improved.

　　"However, in this process, the price you pay will deepen step by step, making your problem more serious.

　　 "Still the old saying, there is no free lunch."

　　 Having said this, Du Heng kindly reminded:

　　"For each awakened person, what the price he has paid must be kept secret.

"On the one hand, the cost itself is a weakness, and it is easy to be used and targeted. On the other hand, different costs will vaguely map different fields, allowing familiar people to have a preliminary guess about your ability, and in the Awakened In the battle between the two, it is very dangerous to be known in advance of the characteristics of the ability."

　　 Shang Jian Yao listened quietly and nodded seriously:

　　 "Thank you."

　　 Jiang Baimian glanced at him and smiled slightly:

　　 "I thought you would clap and clap."

　　 At this time, their surroundings are very quiet, it seems to be exactly as Du Heng said, as long as they don't move very much and don't stand in a conspicuous place, they will not be caught by "abnormal".

　　 "Thank you more than applause." Shang Jian Yao explained sincerely.

　　 Du Heng smiled silently:

　　 "When you find yourself, you will be able to cross the ‘Sea of ​​Origin’, and then you will enter the ‘Spirit Corridor’.

　　 "Okay, I have said so much, should you give me some information?"

　　 Shang Jian Yao didn't answer directly, but looked sideways at Jiang Baimian.

　　 "What do you want to know?" Jiang Baimian asked.

　　 Du Heng looked around and took out a yellowed photo:

　　 "Have you seen this kid?

　　 "His name is Xiao Chong."

　　 In the photo, the little boy has a fleshy face and is wearing a monster costume, which looks very cute.

　　He is the Xiao Chong that Shang Jian Yao and the others just met!

　　 Xiao Chong... Hearing this name, Long Yuehong felt a tingling scalp.

　　 He did not expect Du Heng to enter the ruins to find someone.

　　 And it was Xiao Chong, the strange boy!

　　 Jiang Baimian couldn't help but pursed his lower lip, turned his head and pointed to the position just now:

　　 "We met near the underground computer room, and he came out with us, saying that he was looking for someone to play games with him.

　　 "But after we came out, he disappeared under the pretext of urinating."

　　 Du Heng nodded slightly with a solemn expression:

　　 "This way..."

　　 "Why are you looking for Xiao Chong?" Shang Jianyao took his gaze back from where he was just now.

　　 Du Heng smiled dumbly:

　　 "This involves a lot of important information, and you definitely can't afford the equivalent now.

　　 "When you have a chance to meet again in the future, and you have grasped other key news or clues, we will trade again."

　　 Seeing Du Heng obviously didn’t want to say, Jiang Baimian said to Shang Yao:

　　 "What else do you want to ask?"

　　 Du Heng said before Shang Jianyao spoke:

　　 "About the ‘corridor of the soul’, let’s talk about it when you really enter. I can’t understand it now."

　　 Shang Jian Yao thought about it, and then asked:

　　 "Have you heard of the Eighth Research Institute?"

　　 Du Heng is a little surprised:

　　 "Have you met its commissioner?"

　　 Seeing Jiang Baimian and others nodded, he thoughtfully said:

　　"The Eighth Research Institute is a very mysterious organization, basically not in contact with other forces, it seems to be self-sufficient, but occasionally through smuggling merchants to get some special items.

　　 "But their commissioners often show up in the dust and don't know what tasks they are performing."

　　 Speaking of this, Du Heng paused:

　　"For this organization, everyone thinks it is left over from the old world. Some people think they are collecting various materials and building a new world. Some people suspect that they are destroying clues and burying the real reason for the destruction of the old world.

　　 "I know so much."

　　Shang Jian Yao, after listening, suddenly asked:

　　 "Which field is the charm ability?"

　　 "Your thoughts are very jumping." Du Heng joked, and replied thoughtfully, "It should be the'monitor' in charge of May."

　　 Without waiting for Shang Jian Yao and others to speak, Du Heng first said:

　　 "It's my turn to ask?"

　　 Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao nodded ‘behaved’. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

　　 "Which power are you from?" Du Heng asked confidently.

　　 Jiang Baimian answered calmly:

　　 "Pangu Creature."

　　 "Pangu Creatures... I met your project team in the ice field, and brought a team of volunteers to do experiments on the impact of the cold environment on human physique and spirit. Those people were frozen, tsk, a bit miserable."

　　 Jiang Baimian was ashamed:

　　 "At least I'm full."

　　 "Yes." Du Heng nodded.

　　 He was about to continue asking questions when he suddenly saw the surrounding buildings light up.

　　 The entire city ruins, at least half of the buildings, emit light in different states at the same time, lighting up one side after another.

　　 The darkness and silence that enveloped here quickly faded to the edge of the ruins.

　　 The power supply to the entire city was restored.

　　 Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong and others saw such a scene for the first time, as if they had witnessed the galaxy in the textbook being moved to the surface.

　　 For Jiang Baimian, the shock brought to her by the scene before her was the same as when she first saw the real starry sky, the real blue sky, and the real sun.

　　 Du Heng watched the scene admiringly for two seconds, stood up, and said to Shang Jian Yao and others:

　　 "The abnormality has subsided. You can turn over the wall and leave from here."
