This is the extreme mental breakdown, completely crazy? Jiang Baimian was about to squeeze a little bit inside when he found that the crowd had dispersed.
Two members of the Robot Guard in dark green uniforms came across.
They are about the same height as Gnawa, and their eyes emit blue light, so that Jiang Baimian, who claims to be never blind, can't tell who they are. After all, the most likely different additional modules are covered by clothing. Blocked.
The two Robot Guard members quickly set up a man in the middle of the road and walked to the other side of the street.
The man was wearing blue-and-white, looser cotton clothing, his black hair drooped messily, and there was freshly grown cyan scum on his mouth, and his eyes showed a sense of hysteria.
While being dragged forward, he kept yelling:
"All dead! All dead!"
The original lively street fell silent until the man was taken to another area by a member of the Robot Guard and disappeared in front of everyone. Then everyone recovered and discussed the "high-level unintentional person" in the southwest mountainous area.
It is said that it is a mountainous area in the southwest. In fact, compared to Tarnan, it should be in the northeast, but people here are accustomed to using the main peak of the Chilar mountain range as the dividing standard.
Jiang Baimian glanced at it and found that the pedestrians on the street did not have any look of fear or worry. He seemed to think that this was just a trivial matter, and the Robot Guard could easily solve it.
Insert an app: Perfectly reproduce the old version of the book-chasing artifact, an interchangeable app-Mimi Reading.
"Mechanical Paradise" gave them a strong sense of security... Jiang Baimian sighed silently, and continued to follow Shang Jian Yao in secret.
…………
At ten o'clock in the evening, in the "221" room of the "Youmeng" hotel, the four members of the "old tune group" who went out for action reunited.
"Yes, they are all back intact." Jiang Baimian swept around and said with a smile.
The point of her sentence is to praise Long Yuehong.
Without giving Long Yuehong a chance to be humble, she directly added:
"Let’s share the harvest, start with, um, Xiaobai."
Although Bai Chen has been looking at Long Yuehong, this does not prevent her from using her own observation ability and the gap in which Long Yuehong finds someone for advice, to gather some information:
"There are two bars in Tarnán, but they only sell fruit wine in limited quantities.
"The situation inside is similar to the company's ‘Activity Center’, mainly local residents in the slack season, relic hunters who dare not take risks in winter, and personnel from various caravans who take turns to play cards, chat, sing, dance..."
Obviously, Tarnan’s grain output cannot support the brewing industry. Even if there is a surplus share, there will never be a shortage of people, and foreign caravans will choose more valuable trading products. Whoever traverses the mountains and ridges is to transport dozens or twenty barrels of wine—on the dusty soil, there are places where there are as many alcoholic beverages as the Yecao City, and there are very few places, and most of them have insufficient food.
Therefore, for the residents of Tarnan, seasonal wild fruits that are not delicious for direct consumption and have a short storage period can be used to make a little wine.
Seeing that Shang Jian Yao's eyes lit up, Jiang Baimian laughed:
"The entertainment here is quite rich.
"Unfortunately, there seems to be no radio program."
Within "Pangu Biology", every day off, the "Activity Center" will organize special activities, including but not limited to ballroom dancing, basketball, tug-of-war competitions, etc., to enrich the spiritual life of employees.
Upon hearing this, Long Yuehong helped to add:
"But there are old world entertainment materials.
"I found that many townspeople here have portable computers, which contain more or less old world entertainment materials."
In this case, "Pangu Biology" can't match.
Ordinary employees who can have computers?
"The electronic products here are really not very valuable. In Yecao City, some nobles may not have portable computers." Jiang Baimian commented.
Of course, due to the relationship between the Weed City and the "machine paradise", that part of the nobles did not have computers mainly because they felt that computers were useless.
Can this help farming?
When Bai Chen finished talking about the information she had collected, Jiang Baimian turned to Shang Jianyao:
"What are your gains?"
Don't be happy dancing, satisfying singing, fried chicken wings are delicious... As soon as the voice fell, Jiang Baimian added something in his heart.
Shang Jianyao replied seriously:
"The sect that organizes people to sing on the street is the'mirror sect', and it worships the'broken mirror' of the old age in November.
"They believe that the current world is just a huge illusion, which is used to test mankind by holding the "broken mirror", and the true body of the "God of Illusion" is a mirage dragon in the ancient legend, and they can only please him in various ways. In order to get rid of the painful illusion, wake up from the dream, and see the real, beautiful world, that is, the new world...
"They call the believers who received the favor of the Broken Mirror as the Dragonborn..."
Oh, that’s not bad. I didn’t forget the task when I sang and danced and ate fried chicken wings... Jiang Baimian suddenly felt something was wrong when he listened, so he asked quickly:
"Don't you care what the sacrament of the'Miracle' is?"
Shang Jian Yao answered calmly:
"I'm afraid I hesitate."
Jiang Baimian "tsk":
"In fact, you may not need to worry. Think about it, they all think that the current world is a huge illusion. What kind of sacrament do they have? Anyway, it is fake and illusory."
"It's also..." Shang Jianyao seemed to be persuaded.
But he immediately asked again:
"Then they don't even need to eat? Wouldn't it be better to "wake up from hungry" earlier?"
Jiang Baimian almost couldn't answer this question. Fortunately, she reacted fast enough and her association ability was good enough:
"Didn't we encounter the'Nightmare Horse'? If you starve to death in a dream, you will really starve to death."
Shang Jianyao snapped his right boxing and left his palm:
"I understand."
He then talked about the "Glory Scale".
As for the "forge sect", everyone had heard of Meins mentioning it, and he didn't repeat it.
After meeting Yao, Long Yuehong was followed by Long Yuehong. He told one by one the information he had obtained from several local old men and women.
"Maximian? Mechanical Paradise actually offered a reward to a human being for so many years... What did he do? Or is it involved in some important research in the old world?" Jiang Baimian did according to Maksimian's suspected scientist. Guess.
"Maybe." Long Yuehong actively proposed, "Group leader, I want to visit Gu Bo, the local president of the Hunter Guild tomorrow, he should know a lot."
He didn't find where Gu Bo's house is tonight.
"Okay." Jiang Baimian said with satisfaction, "Yes, you are becoming more and more motivated and proactive. This shows that your confidence has improved. Well, tomorrow you and Xiao Bai will team up and visit the President Gu Bo, I He Shang Jian Yao went to the church of the'Forge Sect' and met the'devotee' Li Zhe."
Now that I have the letter from Miens, it would be a waste not to take the opportunity to get in touch with each other and get some information!
Finally, Jiang Baimian talked about the survivor who went crazy, and other things.
…………
The next morning, after a brief breakfast, the "old tune group" was divided into two and went to their respective destinations.
The church of the "Forge Sect" was at the southern end of the street last night, as if it was remodeled by a small factory in the Old World.
It is a stand-alone building, the outer wall is made of iron black, and the door is painted with a fiery red color. At first glance, it really looks like a strange "melting pot".
After walking all the way here, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao only saw the street sign and knew the name of the current street from its mottled surface:
"Riverside Avenue"
The door of the furnace church was closed tightly, and it looked like no one would enter, but Jiang Baimian and Shang Jian Yao heard that Mins mentioned that this was mainly to simulate the feeling of a "melting furnace", not to prevent anyone from entering.
Jiang Baimian stretched out his left hand and pushed open the door, only to feel a heat wave oncoming.
This is in sharp contrast with the steep cold wind on the outer fabric.
Jiang Baimian looked up and found that the dome was very high, with gray or black pipes extending to different places along the pillars and walls.
"It's producing heat." Shang Jianyao placed his palm on a black iron pipe beside the door.
Jiang Baimian thought for a while and made a judgment:
"There should be hot water flowing in it, what a luxury!"
She thinks it is imitating the heating system of the old world.
Based on this, it is inferred that there are mostly large boilers behind the church with piles of coal.
Although it feels weird to associate the church with these things, with a wonderful industrial style, Jiang Baimian felt relieved when he thought that the name of this sect was "melting pot".
"Please close the door as you please." A voice came from the front of the prayer hall.
Well, you can't let the heat escape too much, it would be a waste of energy... Jiang Baimian has a new understanding of why the "forge sect" always keeps the door closed.
Shang Jian Yao closed the door and asked curiously:
"If it's summer, will there be heating here?"
Jiang Baimian imagined that scene, UU reading www.uukanshu.com suddenly felt very hot.
"There will be no heating. The architectural design here can ensure that the summer heat stays inside, directly creating the feeling of a melting pot." The man in front of the prayer hall explained.
He is about forty, wearing a fiery red robe, is a typical gray man, his skin is slightly darker, his cheekbones are relatively high, his hair is wet, and his forehead is covered with sweat.
"Excuse me, is Your Excellency Li Zhe here?" Jiang Baimian asked politely, moving closer.
The man in the red robe exhaled:
"I am Li Zhe, the'devotee' of the church."
"Are you hot?" Shang Jianyao asked curiously.
Li Zhe nodded:
"It's very hot, but it's also very comfortable and relaxed. It feels like the impurities in the body have been calcined by the furnace."
Seeing Jiang Baimian and they were a little puzzled, Li Zhe pointed to a door on the side:
"I just presided over a mass, that is our mass room."
"Do you have a special room for mass?" Jiang Baimian did not hide his doubts and curiosity.
Li Zhe smiled and said:
"Yes, our mass rituals are more demanding. We need to pour water on the red stone in a relatively closed room and watch the water vapor diffuse.
"Ah, this is the breath of the gods, He is bathing us.
"It will penetrate into our clothes, penetrate into our skin, and let us expel the uncleanness and exhaustion in our body...
"After every mass, change clothes, everyone will feel that the body becomes very relaxed, and the whole person is refreshed. This is a gift from the gods, just like how we feel after enjoying the sacrament in the summer."
"..." Jiang Baimian's expression became stranger the more he listened.
She wanted to ask if your sect had a sanctuary in the old world, if so, was it called a "bath center"?
