On the night after another night, Shang Jianyao took the elevator and reached the 478th floor.
Prior to this, he and Jiang Baimian had not asked anyone what Xiong Ming looked like, where he would spend most of his activities after get off work, and which district and house he lived in.
They were worried that the rash questioning would just hit the hands of the hidden members of the "Life Sacrifice" cult, causing unnecessary trouble or excessive reactions.
Shendu's death is a lesson from the past.
Jiang Baimian therefore suspected that one of the several "order supervisors" at that time was an awakener of the "Life Sacrifice" Order.
It's a pity that, according to the "secret" observation of the business, there is no obvious abnormality in the "Order Supervision Room" on this floor-the price paid in exchange for ability often shows some traces on the surface.
Since there was no focus on finding the scope, Shang Jianyao did not consider this issue, and went straight to the "Activity Center" on the 478th floor, intending to stay here until the whole news was about to start.
Like the 495th floor, the "Activity Center" here is also the busiest place at night. Some people play cards, some chat, and some gather together knitting sweaters.
Shang Jianyao glanced, but he didn't find Xiong Ming with obvious characteristics, so he could only find a corner with no people to observe more closely.
After ten or twenty minutes, his back tightened quietly.
At this time, a man came in from the door.
He is twenty-five and sixty-six. He is wearing a black woolen shirt with good tailoring skills. His hair is very short, and each one seems to be facing the ceiling vertically.
His face is quite clean, the scum is only a little shallow, his facial features are very good, and he has a sculptural beauty.
This is the new generation that has undergone genetic modification from the beginning of the embryo.
However, the man’s eyes seem to have some problems, they are not vital, as if they are made of wood, fixed there, it is difficult to turn left and right.
Shang Jian Yao stood up and walked over.
"Xiong Ming?" he cried tentatively.
The man stopped.
He clearly and Shang Jian Yao were only slightly staggered, and the slight movement of his eyes could make him see clearly and clearly, but he turned his head directly.
"Are you?" The young man indirectly admitted that he was Xiong Ming.
After looked at each other with Xiong Ming, Shang Jianyao more intuitively felt the abnormality of his eyes.
This allowed him to completely determine the identity of the other party.
He glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention here, so he smiled slightly:
"I came here to find you on a special trip."
"Huh?" Xiong Ming narrowed his eyes.
Shang Jian Yao smiled gently and said:
"look:
"You have special abilities, and I also have special abilities..."
As soon as he heard these words, Xiong Ming's expression sank and his eyes became extremely dangerous.
At this moment, Shang Jianyao suddenly felt like he couldn't breathe and his heart was about to refuse to beat.
He kept smiling and continued:
"You are a member of a secret organization, and I am also a member of a secret organization.
"and so……"
Xiong Ming stared at Shang Jian Yao motionlessly for a few seconds, his expression gradually relaxed.
He nodded slightly and said:
"It turns out that you are also the favored one of the old age and the faithful of the cult."
He turned his head and glanced at the noisy environment, and pointed his chin outside:
"Let's go for a walk."
"Good." Shang Jian Yao was a little disappointed.
He thought that the relationship between the two parties was so "close", and the other party would ask him to eat pumpkin seeds and drink a bottle of orange-flavored soda.
After leaving the "Activity Center", the two walked towards a relatively secluded corner.
In the white light from the ceiling hanging down, Xiong Ming, who walked slowly with his hands in his pockets, suddenly asked:
"When did you awaken?"
"This year." Shang Jian Yao was very calm.
Xiong Ming nodded gently:
"I was early last year."
His expression gradually became solemn:
"Even with the blessing of the life, only one or two can successfully awaken each time, or even none.
"People like us who can awaken are undoubtedly God's favored ones. They are unique and outstanding beings. That's why I am willing to tell you so much. Others are not worthy at all."
Xiong Ming turned his body, pointed to the "activity center" and said:
"Did you see those people?
"If I want them to die, they will die immediately. They are so ordinary, ordinary, stupid, and vulgar, their only role is to set off us."
At this point, Xiong Ming smiled very faintly, and turned his head to Shang Jian Yao:
"The new world is for new humans."
"A Zen master once said the same." Shang Jianyao responded with a smile, "But at least he doesn't have to rely on ordinary human work, nor can he pee, fart, shit..."
Xiong Ming frowned:
" Needless to say this.
"Machines will eventually replace old humans."
he turned to ask:
"Have you entered the "Sea of Origin"?"
"Just entered." Shang Jianyao didn't hide anything.
"The talent is not bad." Xiong Ming returned to his body and continued to walk towards the corner of the secluded street.
The rooms on both sides of are densely close together, like small cages for raising pigeons.
Xiong Ming looked around with his head and body, then slightly raised his chin and said:
"We new humans shouldn't just live in such a place.
"Don't worry, we will return to our place soon.
"On top of our heads, there is only one life."
Shang Jianyao looked at Xiong Ming's carved wooden eyes for a second, and asked suddenly:
"Your ability is cardiac arrest?"
Xiong Ming didn't answer right away, he looked at Shang Jian Yao deeply for a long time.
This makes Shang Jian Yao's heartbeat seem to be abnormal.
The feeling of suffocation is just as real.
"Did you guess from Wang Yafei's death?" Xiong Ming finally spoke, breaking the suffocation.
"It's obvious, isn't it?" Shang Jian Yao asked with a smile.
Xiong Ming smiled:
"Actually, I can use a more concealed way, but it is not necessary. It is not worth my waste."
Shang Jian Yao nodded, and didn't know if he agreed, or just clicked.
Then, he asked again:
"The Holy Master asked you to kill Wang Yafei?"
Xiong Ming gave a "um":
"That person is not very good at ordinary times. He likes to let the staff lack the weight. He likes to hide the things that are only supplied in small quantities and wait for you to ask him before selling them to you.
"So, I took this task.
"In order to kill him, I took sick leave one day in advance, and after breakfast, I entered the ‘activity center’ and stayed at the wall separating the ‘material supply market’.
"The reason I did this was because I heard from an employee of a ‘strategic committee’ that what monitoring was still available and still in use."
Within "Pangu Biology", the monitoring system is managed by the "Strategic Committee" in order to limit the power of the "Order Supervision Department" and avoid imbalances.
"Strategic Committee..." Shang Jianyao repeated the name.
He remembered that Ren Jie, the "leader" on the 495th floor, was also in the "strategy committee".
Xiong Ming ignored Shang Jian Yao’s repetition, and continued:
"After nine o'clock, I heard Wang Yafei's voice, confirmed that he was next door, and determined his exact location.
"It only took a few seconds to kill him, very simple.
"It quickly became flustered over there. I took the opportunity to change my position and stayed away from the wall. Then, after borrowing a book, I kept seeing that I went to the cafeteria to eat at noon."
Xiong Ming said in detail, he seemed very proud of the success of this operation, and always wanted to find someone to share.
Shang Jian Yao finished listening quietly, and said with a smile:
"The Order has always claimed that it is God's punishment."
"Isn't this a divine punishment?" Xiong Ming tilted his head, "Isn't this kind of god-like means worthy of being called a divine punishment? Moreover, this is itself performed by the favored person of the gods."
Shang Jian Yao thought about it and asked seriously:
"Is the dance performed by the beloved by the gods called dance?"
"What are you talking about?" Xiong Ming frowned.
Shang Jian Yao did not explain ~EbookFREE.me~ and asked instead:
"How many people are there like us?"
"I don't know." Xiong Ming shook his head, "Each saint master has a small number of awakened people, and they may not know each other's existence."
"Every Saint Master?" Shang Jianyao grasped the point.
Xiong Ming gave him a surprised look:
"Don't you know? There are several saints in the company."
He paused and said:
"We are also a strong contender for the position of the master."
At this point, Xiong Ming looked at Shang Jianyao suspiciously:
"Which sage master do you follow?"
Shang Jian Yao did not panic at all, and replied seriously:
"The saint who always pays attention to us."
"He, he is the most mysterious of the sage masters, and I haven't seen him directly." Xiong Ming suddenly realized, "No wonder you know very little... Does it take long for those who follow him to wait for an order? ?"
"At least I am like this." Shang Jianyao said "truthfully".
Before Xiong Ming responded, he asked first:
"Which saint teacher asked you to kill Wang Yafei?"
Xiong Ming’s expression became a little subtle:
"All saints use certain words in the old world as their titles.
"The one I followed is called the first seven."
