On the way back to the shore of Wu Lake from that island to the entrance of the Iron Mountain of the "Ark Underground", several members of the "Old Message Group" remained silent, and those conversations were echoing in their minds:

"How long did the first group of people who climbed the island in the middle of the lake wait for the messenger in your tribe? Where did they wait?"

"What do you ask about this?"

"How are they now?"

"They, they, have all suffered from 'heartless disease'."

"all?"

"all."

Back on the second floor of the underground and entering the reception room, Jiang Baimian turned his head and glanced at Shang Jianyao, breaking the indescribable atmosphere:

"Why don't you speak?

"You are the most unlikely to be scared."

Shang Jianyao raised his hand and rubbed his temples:

"It's afternoon now, I've used my abilities again, and the power is almost exhausted."

His damaged spirit has not yet fully recovered.

With such an episode, Long Yuehong finally couldn't help but speak:

"Stay in the Temple of Yanhu for more than a quarter of an hour, in the area around the temple for more than a half hour, and in other parts of the island for more than three days, you will inevitably get infected with 'heartless disease'?"

Jiang Baimian nodded slightly:

“It seems to be so right now.

"I don't know if the company has gained experience with human life..."

"Then what is the reason for all this?" Bai Chen didn't care much about why "Pangu Biology" could formulate such precautions. She was concerned about the connection between the sleeping Yanhu and "no heart disease".

On the way back, Jiang Baimian had already thought about many possibilities and negated them one by one. At this time, she threw out the one she thought was the most reasonable:

"Yan Hu is actually trapped in the 'new world', and his body is equivalent to becoming a node where the intersection of the 'new world' and reality?

"If such a node is not controlled, it will slowly leak the breath, matter and…"

Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian paused for a moment and added a word:

"Virus."

Long Yuehong's eyes suddenly widened:

"You mean that the 'heartless disease' virus comes from the 'new world' and spreads to the dust through similar nodes, infecting the surrounding people. Just like when Yan Hu fell asleep, the human settlements on the lake island were quickly defeated by 'heartless disease'?"

"This is an explanation, and more evidence is needed." Jiang Baimian tried hard to calm himself down.

It has always been her ideal to investigate the source of "heartless disease".

She breathed and added:

"For the 'New World', the 'heartless' virus may not be anything, and it may not even be a virus, but it is very deadly for people living on the dust."

This reminded her of some books she had read before, and some humans carried bacteria and viruses that were harmless to them after they came to some isolated place, which brought large-scale deaths to the indigenous people.

"Yes, but it's said that the 'New World' is a good place, without 'heartless disease', without famine, without cold, without monsters, without distortion..." Long Yuehong felt like the holy land in his mind was defiled.

"Maybe there are no humans." Shang Jianyao, who was weak and poor in spirit, made up for him.

This sentence made Long Yuehong's hair stand up.

Bai Chen nodded.

"The 'New World' may not be a good place. Didn't Aure just say that he would rather die than go to the 'New World'?"

Jiang Baimian said "yes" and recalled:

"We have made a guess before that the date of the company's "heart-free disease" coincides with the time of the initial turmoil in the city?

"The turmoil in the city at the beginning was likely to be paid attention to by the year of silence, and even directly intervened. Their collision caused certain high-level fluctuations, which brought small-scale "heartless diseases" to many places in the dust...

"Now it seems that this speculation needs to be corrected."

Shang Jianyao raised his hand and tried to answer quickly, but he weakly rubbed his forehead:

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to think about it."

Jiang Baimian glanced at him, and then said:

"When the city was in turmoil at the beginning, the spirits of major forces entered the 'new world', and the strong men who were left in the ash soil had more or less returned. With the gaze and intervention of the seniles, there must have been multiple channels between the 'new world' and the ash soil that morning, causing the 'heartless disease' to leak out again."

Compared with the fluctuations caused by force collisions, this speculation seems to be more reasonable and realistic.

Long Yuehong nodded first, then raised a question:

"Since the temple where Yan Hu sleeps and the surrounding areas cannot stay for too long, otherwise he will inevitably be infected with 'heartless disease', the 'Crystal Consciousness Cult' in the Sikaro Temple, and several streets next to it, could not have humans in the Jin Apple District and even the entire city, and it has long been ruled by the 'heartless person'."

In Long Yuehong's opinion, there is no difference between the "Buddha's Response Body" and the sleeping Yanhu in essence. However, when a similar spirit enters the "new world", the body remains in the dust and has active strong people, there must be more than one in the city at the beginning.

What Yan Hu will bring, and they will also bring!

Jiang Baimian responded with a slightly bitter smile:

"How do you think the 'heart-free' cases that occurred from time to time in the city came from time to time?"

Long Yuehong was instantly terrified when she asked this question.

Jiang Baimian continued:

"But, compared with the unlucky Yanhu, they have more freedom, can choose when to return and when to sleep, and maintain a certain control over the surrounding areas, and can suppress the leakage and transmission of "heartless diseases" to a very low level.

“And I suspect that they can consciously distribute their strength to protect who or not, so few people in the company’s management have a ‘heartless disease’, and the employee group has one or two times a year, or even more.

"We can verify this when we return to the original city later and compare the incidence of 'heartless disease' among aristocratic groups, officials and ordinary citizens."

Bai Chen remembered a certain detail and agreed with some clarity:

"No wonder when Aure's housekeeper got 'heartless illness', he was not sad, not panic, not afraid, but angry and doubtful...

"He believes that some of the stewards who should be protected have not fulfilled their duties."

Hearing this, Long Yuehong felt that another link was being detained.

Bang, Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and punched his left palm, forcing him to show a gratifying expression:

"So we really accused Xiao Chong of the first place!"

The "old mediation team" suspected that the initial "heartless disease" outbreak in the Chengqing Olive District was related to Xiaochong.

Jiang Baimian smiled and said:

"Don't forget how Teacher Du Heng evaluated Wu Meng and Xiao Chong.

"As the poisonous sores of this world, their connection with the new world is not necessarily weaker than those sleeping old guys."

In the reception room, silence ruled here again.

After a while, Bai Chen took the initiative to ask a question:

"Since Yan Hu is likely to be an awakened person whose spirit has entered the 'new world' and whose body remains on the dust, why should he shout 'Save me'? And he is not able to return occasionally like other 'new world' powerful people."

Jiang Baimian already had an idea about this and smiled and said:

"Yan Hu called himself "Yan Luo" and was called a god in this world. Obviously, he did not believe in anyone who was a senile person. When he arrived at the "New World", naturally no one took in and protected him. Maybe he encountered something after that.

"I doubt that he was suppressed by a sensui, just like Dimarco was sealed in the ark by 'Yougu'..."

Jiang Baimian said the next half of the sentence, and the more he spoke, he became quieter.

This was once a place where "You Gu" often looked at.

For this reason, Jiang Baimian deliberately changed the topic and sneered Shang Jianyao:

"You who carry the picture of the heavenly blessings with you may be even worse than Yan Hu when you enter the 'New World'."

Shang Jianyao sighed:

"They will understand my good intentions."

"What are your good intentions?" Long Yuehong knew that Shang Jianyao could not give a serious answer, so she wanted to hear what "high theory" he had.

Shang Jianyao took action:

“I haven’t thought about it yet.

“It’s still early anyway.”

As he said that, he yawned.

Seeing this, Jiang Baimian made a summary:

"This time I came to Redstone Collection, I got a lot more than I thought, and it was crucial.

"Next, let the specific connection between 'New World' and 'heartless disease' be aside for the time being, because there are no clues to continue to be investigated, and we will consider it later.

"Hey, you follow us to the library and find some books to slept for a while. We asked the residents of the ark to help filter and filter.

"Strive to dig out all the words left by Montis before seeing the mountain monster tomorrow afternoon."
