Chapter 892: The End of the Dream

Jiang Baimian could be considered knowledgeable and experienced, yet at this moment, she still felt a chill run down her spine and nearly s.h.i.+vered.

She forced herself to calm down and took the doc.u.ment from Shang Jianyaos hand. She overlapped it with the information she had read previously and turned to hand it to Du Heng, who had walked close.

Reading these doc.u.ments on the table. Theyre all left behind from the Old World and are relatively well-preserved.

Du Hengwho was wearing a black robetook the information and casually flipped through it. He then chuckled and said, Theyre all trivial matters with no value. No wonder they were left in this room.

Thats right, thats right. Shang Jianyao agreed.

If Jiang Baimian hadnt already warned him with the communication system embedded in the military exoskeleton, he mightve pointed out the doc.u.ment and flipped to the signature. He would then proudly tell Du Heng that there was a person here whose name was identical to his, and he was suspected to be the mysterious president of the Eighth Research Inst.i.tute.

Du Heng only flipped through the first page of every doc.u.ment before shaking his head. Theres nothing to see here.

He then returned the information to Jiang Baimian.

Support our newn0vel(0rg)

Jiang Baimian started spouting nonsense. It still has some valueit can help us understand the Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes operating model before the Old World was destroyed. This might contain many secrets.

Du Heng was the same as he usually was. He stroked his beard nonchalantly. Then, study it well.

In any case, he wouldnt waste his time on it.

Arent you an antiquarian? These are all ancient doc.u.ments

Jiang Baimian rejoiced as she couldnt help but criticize.

They split up again and searched the rest of the office.

Seeing that Du Heng had distanced himself from the two of them, Jiang Baimian relaxed a little and thought about what had happened.

This office belongs to the original president of the Eighth Research Inst.i.tute, and he signed off with the name Du Heng In other words, either the Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes mysterious president is indeed Du Heng, or he encountered something like the Grand Elder of End Year City, Qin Ke, and started calling himself Du Heng. Therefore, he became a taboo in the Eighth Research Inst.i.tute and was forbidden from being mentioned by New World experts.

Uh, Teacher Du Heng has the same ability that matches the special state of ignoring particular memories of Professor Qin

It makes sense that Teacher Du Heng appeared in the Holm Fertility Centers academic lecture

As the president of the Eighth Research Inst.i.tute and the actual controller of the Northern Company, its normal for him to listen to lectures organized by his organization and other research organizations under his personal name Yes, the Eighth Research Inst.i.tute is a confidential organization. Teacher Du Heng might not even have a position in the Northern Company, so he doesnt have any other t.i.tles

The more Jiang Baimian thought about it, the more she felt that this Du Heng was the real deal. As for which situation it was, she was currently leaning toward the former. This was because the academic lecture at the Holm Fertility Center was held before the Old World was destroyed.

At that time, Du Heng was called Du Heng.

As for the Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes president, he definitely had all kinds of special traits. Perhaps he had once been surrounded and killed by Vice President, Professor Li, and the others. He had lost his body, but he didnt die completely. After that, the Awakened deep in the Mind Corridor across the Ashlands would go crazy from time to time and start calling themselves Du Heng.

Stop, I cant be infected by Hey and script out a blockbuster myself

After some thought, Jiang Baimian decided to explore the Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes depths and determine what the important thing was before finding an opportunity to probe Du Heng.

With this in mind, she used the communication system embedded in the military exoskeleton to say to Shang Jianyao, Ill create an opportunity for you later. Enter the Mind Corridor directly and repeat the solution you memorized in the dream of Room 205 to see if its still the conference room after clearing it. If not, continue exploring and see if you can find anything.

Yes, this is firstly to prevent Teacher Du Heng from suddenly regaining his memories and going berserk. Secondly, we have to go deeper into the Eighth Research Inst.i.tute, and we might encounter something else. Its best to improve as much as possible.

Shang Jianyao had no objections and was only curious. How will you create an opportunity?

Thats simple. Jiang Baimian smiled. Most of the time, telling the truth is the best solution.

She walked straight to Du Heng, who had come to the bookshelf again, and smiled. Teacher Du Heng, I plan on finding a place to rest for half an hour before continuing.

Why? Du Heng asked with a smile.

Jiang Baimian explained sincerely, Were about to enter the Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes depths. I think Shang Jianyao has already grasped the solution to the academic discussion in the dream. He might as well take the opportunity to complete this matter and see if he can gain something from the dream.

There are important secrets hidden in the Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes depths, and its very likely to be filled with danger. I dont want to let go of an opportunity to raise his strength before the exploration.

She was telling the truth and wasnt lying at all; she just didnt mention that the person they were guarding against was the person in front of her.

Du Heng nodded and joked, I understand. Its never too late.

He then asked, Why dont you rest here?

Because Im afraid that you would be bored and flip through the doc.u.ments in the room

Jiang Baimian had already come up with a reason. This is the office of the Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes president. Hes very mysterious, and anything that involves him is taboo. Im afraid that something will happen if we stay too long.

Whats there to be afraid of with me around? Du Heng didnt mind at all.

You are precisely the person we are afraid of

Jiang Baimian didnt give Shang Jianyao a chance to speak. Just to be safe.

Du Heng was insouciant. That works too.

After searching the office, they continued forward. Before long, a closed silver-white metal door appeared in front of them.

Lets rest here, Jiang Baimian immediately said.

Alright. Du Heng found a seat against the wall and sat cross-legged. He held the book he had brought out of the presidents office to pa.s.s the time.

Jiang Baimian secretly glanced at the book and relied on the military exoskeletons auxiliary function to accurately capture the t.i.tle: Notes on the Three Metaphysical Cla.s.sics.

Ashlandic ancient philosophy

Jiang Baimian retracted her gaze and took on the responsibility of being vigilant.

Shang Jianyao sat down cross-legged like Du Heng and pinched his temples that were blocked by his visor before entering the Mind Corridor.

Outside Room 205, he spent some time rehearsing to ensure that he could completely repeat the solution Jiang Baimian had provided.

Afraid of forgetting, he started spouting the explanation the moment he entered the room and saw those figures appear on the chair.

After he finished speaking and there was a short silence, those people erupted into enthusiastic applause. A very outstanding train of thought.

Its very groundbreaking.

With such praise, the brown door to the meeting room creaked open.

Seeing this, Shang Jianyao couldnt care less and immediately walked out.

There was no longer a conference room outside but a dimly lit corridor. There were no rooms on either side.

Progress! Shang Jianyao praised happily.

At least he didnt have to listen to academic exchanges anymore!

The next second, he spread open his arms and muttered to himself: I feel like Im home Its right ahead!

He then stroked his chin. Is this the feeling of being close to the door to the New World? My New World door is right in front? I searched high and low for it, only to find it so easily? Isnt this too sudden and coincidental?

Shang Jianyao didnt delay and walked along the dim corridor.

This place was clearly different from Pangu Biologys underground building, but he still walked faster and faster as if he could return to his home with his eyes closed.

After an unknown period of time, Shang Jianyao stopped.

A pair of double-paned doors appeared at the end of the corridor. It was dark black, heavy, and ethereal.

Two completely different and contradictory auras were gathered on it.

I found the New World door. Its in Dawns dream. After returning to reality, Shang Jianyao used the communication system embedded in the military exoskeleton to tell Jiang Baimian about his encounter.

Jiang Baimian was first surprised before feeling that it was only right.

Room 205 had been moved in front of Shang Jianyao for a long time, so it wasnt surprising that the door to the New World was hidden there.

Jiang Baimian even suspected that if Shang Jianyao didnt choose 205 and took the risk of contracting the Heartless disease to enter 503, he would similarly find the door to the New World that belonged to him.

Sigh

She sighed silently and then said to Shang Jianyao, Dont be anxious. Well decide whether to push open the door when we reach the depths of the Eighth Research Inst.i.tute.

Alright. Shang Jianyao had no objections. He knew very well that if he entered the New World now, he would have to be carried into the Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes depths.
