Chapter 914: Unique Building

When it was almost noon, most of the Heartless put aside what they were doing and walked toward the towers periphery.

With Jiang Baimians recent experience, she could imagine the situation outside this area with her eyes closed.

The Heartless in charge of logistics had already prepared food. The ones working in the core area would return home to fill their stomachs. They would then make the best use of their time to rest for a while or return to work immediately, giving their colleagueswho had yet to eattime to eat.

If it werent for the fact that the Heartless present didnt communicate with each other and that their every move seemed to be a preset program, this would be a very warm, lively, and ordinary scene that exuded vibrancy.

At this moment, Jiang Baimian felt like she was watching a silent drama starring monsters. She couldnt help but tremble.

As the number of Heartless in the area around the tower plummetedwith most of the remaining ones still working in the nuclear power plantJiang Baimian quietly walked out of her hiding spot and sneaked toward the unique building a kilometer away from the nuclear power plant.

Mirror Dimension silently unfolded, and the small number of Heartless along the way were isolated from reality. Although their every move could still have an actual interaction with the matter in this area, these had to be reviewed and filtered by Jiang Baimian.

In such a situation, they couldnt distinguish reality from illusion even if there were many Superior Heartless here.

However, Jiang Baimian didnt swagger to the target building and chose to advance carefully. She was worried that a New World powerhouse might be sleeping in such an important place.

Ignoring the potency of the effects a New World powerhouse suffered when facing Mirror Dimension at the Mind Corridor level, Jiang Baimian felt that it was better not to have any high hopes just because the other partys consciousness wasnt situated locally.

Under the enhancement of the military exoskeleton, it didnt take Jiang Baimian long to pa.s.s through the Heartless and arrive in front of the vortex-like, aqua-blue building.

She was just about to approach the metal door when her head suddenly throbbed, accompanied by obvious dizzinessthis was a precursor to the Heartless disease!

Jiang Baimian could be considered experienced in this regard and immediately took a few steps back.

Everything returned to normal.

Just a little short Jiang Baimian muttered to herself in disappointment.

Her strength or level was still a little lacking.

Jiang Baimian tried to take two more steps forward and arrived at the edge of the symptoms. She then observed the dashboard displayed on the visor screen.

The gauges representing electromagnetism and other parameters spun crazily. They alternated between fast and slow, sometimes clockwise and counterclockwise without any pattern.

If one stayed in such an environment for too long, the human body would suffer serious negative effects.

Jiang Baimian wasnt surprised at all. Having expected this, she returned to her previous hiding spot.

Jiang Baimian only returned the way she came after the Heartlesss lunch break ended and the area outside became quiet.

Of course, it was impossible for her to retrace her steps in her current state. It was only because there were few Heartless outside and she had the Mirror Dimension. Furthermore, the city was relatively small, and the characteristics of the separation between the two worlds were abnormally obvious. It was only after many attempts that she found her way back to the tunnel entrance.

After closing the door, Jiang Baimian immediately extended her consciousness and communicated with Shang Jianyao.

You reached the door, but theres no way to go any further? Shang Jianyao appeared more disappointed and anxious than Jiang Baimian.

Yes. Jiang Baimian nodded. Collate a strategy guide for me. Ill explore a few rooms as soon as possible to improve myself.

She had secretly advanced outside, so she naturally couldnt obtain the room information given by Pangu Biology. She could only rely on Shang Jianyao.

No problem. Shang Jianyao threw his prior emotions to the back of his mind. Ill tell you a few simple things first. Youre no stranger to the person in Room 506

Jiang Baimian remembered the principle of not spending too much time on a single exchange. After hearing the strategy guide for clearing the three rooms, she interrupted Shang Jianyao. I hope this can help me push open the door and enter the building. I have a feeling that the answer to many secrets is inside.

Thats right, thats right. Shang Jianyao first echoed before saying, What if there are no qualitative changes when exploring two to three rooms?

Then, we can only take it slow. It should be fine as long as I enter the Mind Corridors depths. Jiang Baimian thought for a moment and said, But this will drag on for too long. Its not something that can be done in a day or twoor even a month or two. You dont have many nutrient shots left, and it wont last more than four days even if were thrifty.

During this period of time, Jiang Baimians work had become much easier because Shang Jianyao only relied on nutrient shots to maintain his physical condition. She only needed to pay attention to whether he would pee his pants.

Shang Jianyao smiled. There might be an opportunity in two to three days. There will be chaos in the New Worldthis might reflect in the form of reduced consciousness extraction intensity in reality. You can enter that building at your current level.

Sigh, its actually not a real tower

Ill give it a try when the time comes, Jiang Baimian said after some hesitation.

New World. In the building beside the Ashlandic compound.

Shang Jianyao only waited for a day before Liu Chuan knocked on his door.

In fact, there was no need to knock. Just as the other party entered the street, Shang Jianyao saw the street lamps light up.

However, the ritualistic him chose to wait.

That fast? Shang Jianyao opened the door and asked reservedly.

Liu Chuan nodded. The signs have appeared.

The caf owner wore a white s.h.i.+rt, a black vest, black pants, and black leather shoes with a black bow tie.

What signs? Shang Jianyao asked.

Liu Chuan looked around. Well talk about it later. Follow me somewhere first.

Alright. Shang Jianyao didnt ask any further and acted like he trusted the other party very much.

Liu Chuan led him toward the tower. After making many turns, they arrived in front of an ordinary six-story building.

There were no lights inside yetonly darkness.

Of course, the lights lit up as the two of them entered.

Liu Chuan went all the way down to the bas.e.m.e.nt entrance.

The door was tightly shut.

A bas.e.m.e.nt? Shang Jianyao was very surprised.

Over the past few days, he had explored many houses without finding any bas.e.m.e.nts.

The special thing about this building is that it has a sizable bas.e.m.e.nt, Liu Chuan introduced as he knocked on the door.

The benefit of the bas.e.m.e.nt was that no matter how many people gathered or how many lights were switched on, the people outside couldnt see or discover them.

Who is it? someone asked in the Red River language.

Revere, Liu Chuan replied.

The dark iron door in the bas.e.m.e.nt creaked open. The interior was brightly lit as if it were daytime.

Shang Jianyao was surprised. Its that simple? I thought there would be a pattern to your knocking and that theres a secret code.

Theres no need to make it so complicated, Liu Chuan casually replied. Those who can come here are all trustworthy.

Oh, oh. Shang Jianyao indicated his understanding.

Liu Chuan walked into the bas.e.m.e.nt and introduced Shang Jianyao to the people who had already arrived.

This is our new companion. His Red River name is Doug, and his Ashlandic name is Shang Jianyao.

He repeated it in two languages.

Shang Jianyao took the opportunity to observe the underground room.

This place was rather s.p.a.cious, and there were some chairs and sofas. There were currently about 13 people present.

Flora and Barnard werent absent, but they could only choose to sit in chairs because of their respective physical problems. They couldnt get up to greet Shang Jianyao.

Apart from the two of them, the rest consisted of men and women, either Ashlandics or of Red River ethnicity. They generally looked to be in their forties, and only two or three looked to be in their thirties.

Shang Jianyao was very polite. He greeted everyone present and asked for their names.

After going one round, he returned to Liu Chuans side.

At this moment, the bas.e.m.e.nt entrance was already closed. The lights on the ceiling and walls were all lit up, and they were clearly brighter than normal.

Shang Jianyao looked at Liu Chuan silently with a thoughtful expression.

Liu Chuan felt a chill run down his spine and hesitantly asked, Whats the matter?

Shang Jianyao stroked his chin. I forgot to ask something.

What is it? Liu Chuan frowned slightly.

Shang Jianyao smiled and said, How should I raise my level in the New World?

Liu Chuan sized him up for a few seconds and said, If I knew, I wouldnt be stuck at my original level now.

What a pity. Shang Jianyao expressed his sympathy.

He casually chatted. Which faction were you from in the past?

Liu Chuan knew that the young man in front of him was an employee of Pangu Biology and replied without hiding anything, I come from End Year City.

What a coincidence! Shang Jianyao looked like he was meeting an old friend.

Liu Chuan casually introduced, Flora is from the Orange Company, and Barnard is from the Linhai Alliance

Shang Jianyao then asked, Are you religious?

Liu Chuan fell silent for a moment before saying, Yes.

Which Kalendaria is it? Shang Jianyao was rather curious.

Liu Chuan looked at the bas.e.m.e.nt entrance and said, Truth.
