Embers Ad Infinitum

Vol 2 Chapter 7: Hypothesis

For August 7, Long Yuehong was very impressed.

This was not only the day when the city turmoil first occurred, but also the day when he was seriously injured and lost his right arm.

And now, Jiang Baimian told him that on this day, "Pangu Biology" had an outbreak of "no heart disease".

"It wouldn't be such a coincidence?" Long Yuehong blurted out.

Jiang Baimian groaned:

"Maybe it's not a coincidence."

Long Yuehong opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Then, he found that Shang Jian Yao was looking at him.

This guy will definitely say it's me... Long Yuehong felt that she could already guess what Shang Jian Yao would say next.

However, his guess did not become a reality, because Bai Chen entered the office at this time and expressed doubts about the rather solemn atmosphere.

After explaining it again, Jiang Baimian gave his own thoughts directly:

"Didn't we guess that the turmoil in the first city might be noticed by the old people, or even intervene directly?

"Will the latter actually happen when we haven't sensed the obvious abnormality?"

"The collision between the old ages has produced certain fluctuations, leading to small-scale ‘unintentional diseases’ erupting in different places in the dusty soil."

Regarding Jiang Baimian’s bold assumption, Long Yuehong’s first reaction was relieved:

Anyway, it's not because of me!

Bai Chen did not object, nor did he agree. After thinking about it, he said:

"If this is the case, then it will definitely not be the only company that has a ‘innocent disease’ epidemic on August 7."

"Yes." Jiang Baimian nodded lightly. "When we go out to perform our tasks next time, we must ask every place we pass by if anyone has been infected with ‘innocent disease’ on August 7."

Long Yuehong's heart moved:

"According to this hypothesis, there should be a lot of'innocent' patients in the city on August 7th, but we haven't heard of it."

After the turmoil, Jiang Baimian and others waited for Long Yuehong's body to recover to a certain extent, and spent a lot of time in Primordial City.

As soon as Long Yuehong's voice fell, Shang Jian Yao already laughed:

"Have you forgotten the hapless gentleman?"

"Huh?" Long Yuehong was stunned for a moment, "Beuris, the former consul and commander-in-chief of'First City'?"

If this person had not suddenly suffered from "unintentional disease", the development of that turmoil would not be what it was later on.

"His strength is also said to be very strong. Maybe the ‘intentional disease’ virus caused by fluctuations in that range has concentrated on him." Jiang Baimian assumed irresponsibly.

Without waiting for Long Yuehong and Bai Chen to respond, Shang Jianyao changed the subject without warning:

"Master Channagar predicts that we will cause turmoil in the initial city, but everything that follows has nothing to do with us..."

Having said this, Shang Jianyao looked at Long Yuehong and smiled:

"Maybe you spread bad luck to Beuris."

"I have never seen him!" Long Yuehong retorted subconsciously.

Shang Jianyao exclaimed with "surprise" and "fear":

"It's getting better and better!

"You don't need to touch it to affect a person's luck!"

"Alright." Jiang Baimian stopped Shang Jianyao's performance, dangled the hair hanging down his ears with his hands, and said, "I suspect it has something to do with tomato scrambled eggs."

On topics involving Xiao Chong, she is more cautious than anything else, even if she knows that there is no bug in the room, she still uses the code name.

"If we did not escape from Sikaruo Temple in advance, there is a high probability that we would not be attacked by the special commissioner, and would not look for a helper. This caused the tomato scrambled eggs to be scared away by that person, and it is likely to leave the original city directly. "Jiang Baimian further explained, "When the citizens gather, if he is still in the original city, there will be many variables, and maybe it won't make a big deal at all."

"It makes sense." Long Yuehong agreed the more he pondered.

Of course, the premise is that the prophecy of Master Channaga did not deviate too much, and the "old tune group" did detonate the initial city turmoil in a certain sense.

Shang Jianyao showed a missing expression:

"I don't know where he is now."

Bai Chen carefully considered the logic of the matter, and said with emotion:

"Master Channaga's prediction is confirmed in such a tortuous way..."

"This is the prophecy." Jiang Baimian laughed.

She stood up immediately:

"Go exercise, these questions will be verified later.

"Now our task is to rest, resume, wait until the review is over, issue rewards, and then make their own applications."

After a pause, Jiang Baimian said with a longing face:

"If our guess at the source of the'innocent disease' just now is correct, then it is more important not to look for those places where someone was infected with the'innocent disease' on August 7, but to list those who were not infected. Settlements, extract the similarities between them."

There was strong hope and expectation in her tone.

At this moment, Long Yuehong felt that the group leader's face seemed to shine, and Shang Jianyao beside him was also full of urge to try.

…………

At the end of the day, Jiang Baimian returned home.

"Dad, so early?" She was a little surprised to find that her father Jiang Wenfeng was already sitting in the living room.

You know, she didn't dine in the small cafeteria today, and planned to come back directly to make some food for herself, and the "old-tuned group" was on a half-off during this period, and she was off work very casually, often early.

Jiang Wenfeng said angrily:

"Not for your business!"

He then sighed:

"The biological cochlear surgery and the awakening experiment have been arranged for you. After the routine review is over, you can make a specific appointment."

Jiang Baimian glanced at his father and asked timidly:

"What if I get scared and retreat?"

Jiang Wenfeng's eyes stared:

"The awakening experiment is no such thing. I will knock you out of the biological cochlear surgery!"

"What a cruel heart..." Jiang Baimian stretched his tone.

At this time, she certainly wouldn't say "I'll give you a left hand" like Shang Jianyao.

With this topic, Jiang Baimian asked curiously:

"Dad, how many awakened people in our company have entered the'New World'?"

Jiang Wenfeng frowned:

"This is not what your level should know."

After speaking, he exhaled slowly:

"Actually, I don't know too well. The confidentiality level of this matter is m3."

In other words, only the board members know.

Jiang Baimian whispered thoughtfully:

"There are five board members..."

Jiang Wenfeng did not respond.

…………

Floor 495, area c, inside the activity center.

Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, Meng Xia, and Zhang Lei sat in the corner, chatting about various topics while feeling the excitement around them.

"It's been a few days since we came back, why didn't Yang Zhenyuan show up..." Long Yuehong mentioned another friend of her own.

Meng Xia sneered:

"Maybe busy with children."

Long Yuehong suddenly realized that she patted her forehead with her right hand:

"I forgot about it."

In the bang, his brows frowned slightly, but pretending that nothing happened.

Meng Xia glanced at him, then at Shang Jianyao:

"Moreover, your ranks have been promoted too fast. As classmates, I feel inferior in front of you!"

"Pangu Creatures" said it was small and not big, and Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao's d5 matter had spread throughout the entire 495th floor.

"You can also apply to be transferred to the front-line team of the Security Department." Shang Jianyao gave a serious suggestion.

Meng Xia rolled her eyes:

"Let's forget it, just wait for one of the classmates, no, two managements, two of them get the way, the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

While chatting, Shang Jianyao suddenly looked at Meng Xia’s husband Zhang Lei:

"Have you heard of the'Natural Sect'?"

This is a cult that has spread within the company for a while and has affected some people.

Zhang Lei recalled:

"Do you like the sect that runs around without clothes?"

"Yes." Long Yuehong helped affirm.

"There are such sects?" Meng Xia looked surprised.

Zhang Lei nodded:

"Before joining the company, I met several times near the'White Knights'."

As soon as his voice fell, Meng Xia suddenly interrupted:

"Does it look good?"

"Some are getting older, some are second-hand." Zhang Lei said casually.

Shang Jianyao asked enthusiastically:

"Then do you know which old age they believe in?"

Zhang Lei thought for a while and said:

"It seems to be May's ‘Monitor~www.readwn.com~ Shang Jianyao," he suddenly realized:

"Streaking is also a kind of performance art!"

After chatting for a while, the pregnant woman was "forcibly" taken away, and Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong followed and left the activity center and went back to their homes.

Area b, room 196.

Shang Jian Yao was lying on the bed with his eyes open in the silent darkness.

Near the window, the light from the street lights outside illuminates an area, which is stirred from time to time by the shadows of pedestrians passing by.

A few minutes later, there was a new movement in the broadcast, and the slightly childlike voice sounded:

"Hello everyone, I'm Hou Yi, the hourly news announcer. It's 8 o'clock in the evening...

"Today, Director of the Board of Directors and Vice President Ji Ze convened a meeting of the ‘Safety Production Month’..."
