Chapter 636: Phone Call

Translator: CKtalon

In the rented car, Shang Jianyao became excited when he heard Jiang Baimians deduction. Which domain would the price of symmetry OCD come under?

Jiang Baimian thought for a moment and said, As the name implies, I guess its Junes Golden Scale. This Kalendaria emphasizes balance, and this is often reflected in symmetry. The corresponding price of symmetry OCD is very reasonable.

Junes Golden Scale mainly affects the body, including the ability to induce paralysis. Oh right, some Awakened in this domain can also block premonitions, hide their bodies, and carry out stealth assassinations. Shang Jianyao recalled the information provided by the company and the information his team had gathered elsewhere.

Jiang Baimians heart palpitated. The sunglasses mans companionthe person on the other side of the photo framemight very well have the ability to hide his body and block premonitions. Therefore, the sunglasses man may seem to be moving alone, but theres actually another person secretly following him! This is also the reason why he doesnt dare to take off his sunglasses even at night.

If his companion with symmetry OCD saw his eyes, he might very well be erased.

Shang Jianyao nodded before curling his lips honestly. Thats unlikely. An Awakened with symmetry OCD at the Mind Corridor level cant move normally. There are asymmetrical things everywhere in the Ashlands, and its even more so in the Green Olive Zone. If I were him, I would be angry when seeing this and have the urge to destroy it. Ill end up blowing up everything wherever I go or die from anger.

The houses in the Green Olive Zone were originally built very symmetrically. But over the years, many houses were built haphazardly. Some had encroached into the streets, and the electric wires were stretched like damaged spiderwebs. People with severe symmetry OCD would probably suffer an immediate brain hemorrhage.

In such discussions, Jiang Baimian never cared about being right and only cared about facts. She nodded slightly and said, Indeed.

She then raised a new idea. Could a certain method be used to reduce the severity of symmetry OCD or control his urge to destroy?

Thats possible, but this can at most be considered a temporary strategy. It cant be maintained for long. You should know very well that relying on external forces to reduce the influence of the price is often counterproductive. Even if its relatively simple and effective, it will take a long time for one to adapt to its effects, Shang Jianyao said truthfully.

I dont know Jiang Baimian tried her best to forget how she had gotten lost in the past. She looked out the window beside her and said, You mean that the one with symmetry OCD usually doesnt come out and lives in a small world thats sufficiently symmetrical? That person will only suppress their price and take action only at critical moments or when moving is required?

I think so, Zen Master Redemption replied calmly.

Since that person isnt hiding by the targets side, why does he still wear sunglasses at night? Could my previous guess be wrong? Does he really fear the light? Jiang Baimian followed her train of thought.

After a brief pause, her eyes lit up without Shang Jianyao needing to answer. Timid and weakyes, timid and weak! The price the man in the sunglasses paid might very well be cowardice and weakness!

This was one of the additional abnormalities reflected in Oudick.

Shang Jianyaowho was in charge of drivingstroked his chin with one hand. He doesnt take off his sunglasses because his companion or the nightmare represented by the photo frame had once warned him. The timid and weak him doesnt dare to violate this warning even if hes out of his companion or the nightmares line of sight?

This was timidity at the Mind Corridor level.

Jiang Baimian suddenly became excited.

Yes! Do you still remember that sentence? One eye is big, and the other is small. Youre not a good person. Ill help you dig them all out! This might be a warning from his companion or the nightmare represented by the photo frame. It appeared in a dream in a certain way, not something Oudick added himself!

This made sense!

Shang Jianyao was also excited. Cowardice and weakness infected the man in sunglasses; the symmetry OCD comes from his companion or the nightmare. The mania and delirium stem from the targets companion or the nightmare represented by a photo frame. The rest are mental disorders that arise from shock or trauma?

Wait, why am I as excited as this fellow Jiang Baimian tried her best to control her emotions and continued, Cowards are often careful; they will always consider all kinds of dangers. Therefore, the man in the sunglasses has yet to track us. Its not that he cant do it but that he has too many concerns and too many possible accidents that he needs to eliminate. He doesnt have the courage to make bold attempts in the block where Xiaochong and Teacher Du Heng once appeared. Instead, he chose a more roundabout and more time-wasting method?

This matched the current situation and was one of the steps of bold hypotheses and careful verification.

Shang Jianyao touched the newly bought phone in his pocket that was connected to First Citys communications network and said with interest, Then, which domains price is cowardice and weakness?

Jiang Baimian frowned slightly. This isnt as obvious as symmetry OCD

In the room where Long Yuehong and Bai Chen hid in the Green Olive Zone.

As neighbors on the same floor as the target, could we already have our memories secretly flipped? Long Yuehong asked in horror.

Bai Chen retracted her gaze from the peephole, turned around, and deliberated before saying, Its unlikely. According to the plan, we will try our best to distance ourselves from Old Ges room when we choose the area we secretly monitor to avoid the danger of the target secretly flipping through our memories. We observe the area through the cameras installed in the nearby hidden spots.

We are at the other end of the corridor, and its not directly opposite the stairwell. Theres a certain degree of dislocation, so its unlikely that we will see strangers coming and going. The probability of our memories being flipped is very low. Unless the target is very careful and would rather be safe than sorry, they probably wont waste their time on us.

If it werent for the fact that it was very easy for others to see them if they headed to another floor or left this apartment, thereby leaving behind the corresponding clues, Bai Chen definitely wouldve chosen to hide further away.

Long Yuehong was almost convinced, but considering that Bai Chen was also here, it wouldnt be excessive to guard against any accidents. Thus, he changed his mind. I think we should consider the possibility that the other party is very careful. Think about itthe real Father and his pile of fake Fathers actually have similar inclinations. Its very normal for Awakened like them who play with memories to do similar things.

Bai Chen slowly nodded. Then, activate the contingency plan. We cant have our memories unknowingly modified.

She had a deep impression of the real Father tampering with her memories.

Long Yuehong jumped in fright and quickly reached into his pocket to take out a stack of paper.

In order to deal with the situation that the target might be a Mind Corridor-level Awakened in the Last Man domain, they wrote down some key memories in a simplified manner, just like how they had previously guarded against the real Father. It made it convenient for them to compare their memories often to see if their memories had been secretly modified, unknowingly becoming strangers to themselves.

As Long Yuehong flipped through the notes, Bai Chen walked to her laptop.

After some work, she pulled up some software, which was written by Genava. It was originally software used by the Old World to dial cell phones and landlines via the Internet.

Bai Chen inputted a number and chose to connect.

This was naturally not the mysterious number stored in the dangerous phone of Orays granddaughter, Avia. The outcome would be unpredictable once the call was made.

It wasnt the time to risk it yet.

Bai Chen inputted the number of Shang Jianyaos new phone.

Since they had a few plans that assumed a relatively stronger enemy, the Old Task Force definitely wouldnt forget to make some preparations before splitting up. For this reason, Shang Jianyao specially implanted the idea of buying a phone on his behalf and getting it connected into a passerby. He also gave the passerby enough money.

After receiving the phone and confirming that the number was valid, he and Jiang Baimian left and went to the Red Wolf Zone to visit Oudick and his family.

As for the network Bai Chen was using, the signal came from Genava, who had long hacked into the nearby phone base station.

Ring Ring Ring

On the computer screen, the software interface displayed the word Connecting.

After a few seconds, the word became Connected.

Shang Jianyaos voice sounded. Hello, this is the Zen and Motorcycle Repair Radio Station. Im the radio host, Zen Master Redemption.

Be serious! Jiang Baimians voice sounded beside him, accompanied by a smack.

Shang Jianyaos voice immediately became serious. You discovered something abnormal?

Yes. Bai Chen quickly recounted the matter of someone walking to the wrong floor and her and Long Yuehongs guess.

On the other end of the line, Jiang Baimian quickly ordered, Stop the car by the roadside and change seats. Focus on maintaining the call.

Alright. Shang Jianyao didnt waste any time.

He soon said to Bai Chen and Long Yuehong, Switch it to a video call.

Bai Chen quickly clicked a few times and completed the corresponding actions.

She and Long Yuehong then saw Shang Jianyaos face.

Shang Jianyao leaned back in the passenger seat and smiled.. Hide this window now and pretend that nothing happened.
