Chapter 875: Top Floor

Genava looked at Shang Jianyaowho was fixed in place by the military exoskeletonand did his duty as a teammate. Ill go in first, and you can follow after the situation is confirmed.

He meant that even if there were New World powerhouses or projections of certain existences inside, there was a high chance that he wouldnt be discovered and trigger the terrifying vortex as a smart bot without consciousness.

Shang Jianyaowho had his expression covered by the visormuttered, Once you open the door the light will s.h.i.+ne in I will also be sensed

Shall I send you down first? The red glow in Genavas eyes paused at the location of Shang Jianyaos ear for a few seconds.

Shang Jianyao walked to the stairwell exit and laughed loudly. Are you sure that you wont be discovered? Heres the root cause of the problem The overlap is most serious Maybe we can be directly seen You have nothing As for me I have the Life Angel necklace Six Senses Beads small jade Buddha Blessings from all Kalendarium!

Genava understood Shang Jianyao very well. With the latter around, there was still room for salvation even if an accident happened. If Genava was the only one, hewho was downstairswouldnt be spared if anything really happened.

You can give me those items, Genava suggested. Although he couldnt use the items, the true effects of those items in the current environment werent reflected by their Awakened abilities.

You arent a company employee, Shang Jianyao pointed out.

Support our newn0vel(0rg)

He had just switched the military exoskeletons operating mode to prevent the artificial intelligence from failing to understand his eagerness at opening the door.

The red glow in Genavas eyes flickered for a while before he finally chose to remain silent and didnt stop him.

Shang Jianyaos words actually made sense.

They had been pushed here by Fate. Items like the Life Angel necklace were only useful in their hands.

Shang Jianyaowho completed the mode switchingstaggered over. Genava quickly walked over and helped him up.

The next second, Shang Jianyao stretched out his unparalyzed right palm, grabbed the wooden doors handle, and pulled it back.

Pure white light shone in like a flood breaching the embankment, dispelling all the darkness.

Although there was only a corridor beyond the stairwell, a scene surfaced in Shang Jianyaos mind and Genavas vision.

It was a large living room with a carpet, sofa, and other things.

At this moment, a black figure was standing in front of a row of floor-to-ceiling windows, quietly looking out.

The black figure suddenly turned around and looked at Shang Jianyao and Genava.

Almost at the same time, Genavas vision turned black. He couldnt gather any information regarding his surroundings in any way.

The drunk Shang Jianyao first recovered his clarity of mind before shouting, Vortex!

He then lost all his thoughts. He couldnt see, hear, or think as though his soul had been forcefully sucked out.

On the mountain path outside Ceningmis, Jiang Baimians expression turned solemn. She saw the sky darken at a speed visible to the naked eye in the central city area, turning the entire area from dusk to a dark night.

A faint fog filled the area and quickly enveloped every corner of Ceningmis, but this wasnt the end. Be it the darkness or the fog, they were spreading out.

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen grunted in pain and couldnt help but raise their hands to cover their heads.

Jiang Baimians head throbbed as she felt a certain level of dizziness.

This made the three peoplewho had the corresponding experiencesuddenly have a thought:

Heartless disease!

Amidst his horror, Long Yuehong saw that the darkness and fog were still expanding. He subconsciously recalled something: The Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes commissioner had said that if not for their early quarantine, the disaster in Ceningmis mightve affected the entire Ashlands.

At this moment, the intense pain and dizziness suddenly disappeared.

Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen returned to normal. If not for the fact that their memories remained, the sky was still dark, and the surroundings were filled with fog, they wouldve suspected that they were hallucinating.

The next second, they saw the fog quickly thin and fuse into the air. The darkness rapidly shrank before finally disappearing from Ceningmis.

Sunlight shone down from the sky, making the area no longer dark.

Long Yuehong was speechless for a long time as he took in this scene.

After a few seconds, Jiang Baimian laughed self-deprecatingly. If it were Hey, he definitely wouldve sincerely thanked the Kalendarium, saying things like Newborns are likened unto the sun; life whats most important and Namo Annutara-Samyak-Subhuti.

Newborns are likened unto the sun; life whats most important. Shang Jianyaowho had woken upstood at the door to the stairwell. He bent his right arm and gently rocked it like a disabled person carrying a baby. He then shouted, The End will belong to the Arbiter of Fate!

After he completed the ritual, Genava asked, Are you sure that the Life Angel necklace has taken effect?

Im not sure, Shang Jianyao replied confidently. He then raised his right palm and chanted a Buddhist proclamation. Namo Annutara-Samyak-Subhuti.

Following this, he took a step back and loudly said, Wariness is a hint from the G.o.ddess!

Just like that, he went through the prayers corresponding to the Kalendarium on the Blessings from all Kalendarium. He made it clear that everyone had a part in this.

Genava didnt continue the topic. He looked at the corridor that had lit up because of the sunlight and said to Shang Jianyao, There shouldnt be any problems now. We can go in and search.

Theres no problem for the time being, Shang Jianyao emphasized.

n.o.body was sure if the overlap between Ceningmis and the New World would happen again.

Therefore, we have to make the best use of our time. Genava stepped into the corridor.

Shang Jianyao was unwilling to fall behind.

There was only one suite on the entire top floor, so they quickly arrived at the main door.

The first thing they saw was an open door, a s.p.a.cious living room, and a row of floor-to-ceiling windows. All of this was identical to the scene they had previously seen. The only two differences were that the black figure and the night scene outside the window were gone.

Shang Jianyao was just about to walk into the living room when he suddenly heard human voices coming from the other side of the corridor. We have to rush back now!

Eh Shang Jianyao chose to watch the commotion first. At the same time, he told Genava, I dont sense any human consciousness.

Genava didnt discover any signs of human activity either.

When they approached the corridor, they saw a person wearing bionic artificial intelligence armor that resembled the Chameleon. This person was discussing something with his two companions, completely indifferent to Genava and Shang Jianyaos approach.

The Eighth Research Inst.i.tute person from last time? Shang Jianyao recalled Jiang Baimians description.

Genava made a judgment of the situation. Its a side effect of the chaotic electromagnetic environment. Their conversation was recorded by the environment. With the disappearance of the overlap between the two worlds, it got replicated at the penthouse. Its like theres a projection screen here, and a projector projected the scenes from afar.

Shang Jianyao and Genava had seen many such situations in the depths of Ceningmis and had personally witnessed the many scenes of the disaster back then. However, Ceningmis and the New World were still overlapping back then.

Without the overlap, it wont be long before the electromagnetic environment disappears. Shang Jianyao a.s.sumed a fear of missing out att.i.tude. He planned on hearing what the Eighth Research Inst.i.tute members were saying.

After the replay, he and Genava roughly knew why these Eighth Research Inst.i.tute personnel didnt return to the previous sentry post.

They hid all the way to the east of Ceningmis. The electromagnetic environment there was relatively okay, allowing them to send a telegram to the Eighth Research Inst.i.tute for help.

Before the help arrived, they didnt dare to leave their hiding spot to confirm the Old Task Forces situation because the Mind Corridor Awakened was quite injured and needed time to recover.

When the injured were almost recovered, the Eighth Research Inst.i.tute sent a telegram, requesting the team to return to headquarters immediately.

These matters were extracted from the conversation between those people by Genava and Shang Jianyao. Back then, they shouldve pa.s.sed through Ceningmiss central area and headed north.

They had doubts about the Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes orders, so they had this discussion.

From the timing, it should be the day after we captured Professor Qin and obtained the Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes exact location, Genava a.n.a.lyzed.

Shang Jianyao came to a realization. Are they making preparations regarding the exposure of the headquarters?

Very likely. The red glow in Genavas eyes flickered.

The two of them walked back to the door of the penthouse and entered the living room.

The moment he walked in, Shang Jianyao eagerly looked around, searching for any possible figures.

He and Genava saw several corpses at the same time.
