Embers Ad Infinitum

The car is too heavy... What's the reason... Long Yuehong, who was sitting in the back seat, bent down to pick up the pistol that he had just dropped due to the cold and pain, while repeating Zenaga's answer in his mind at a loss.

Is there any necessary connection between the weight of a car and the type of car you drive?

People drive, not riders.

While Long Yuehong was thinking about it, the gray-robed monk Zenaga had already sent his black motorcycle running out. Bai Chen had no choice but to step on the accelerator and let the vehicle follow behind.

Jiang Baimian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Zen Naga's back and began to think without any cover-up:

How to crack the ability of "talking to others"? If he knows everything in advance, then there is no chance of winning... You can't sacrifice yourself and become an "unintentional person", relying on instinctive reactions to win, right? Let’s not talk about the problems that have not reached this level. Even if you think about it, “unintentional illness” cannot be easily achieved...

In this regard, he is obviously better than the mechanical monk Jingfa, and can hear our hearts more clearly at a longer distance...

"His Mind" should belong to him. The ability to make us all feel pain most likely comes from the rosary in his hand, so it can be used at the same time...

Manipulating matter is a basic ability, and it does not seem to be inconsistent with "other minds"... Well, when he ingested the stone slab to block the current, the pain like needles in my body still existed, but it was significantly relieved... It seems that it still has a certain impact of……

In the realm of Bodhi, the corresponding price of "connection to other minds" is related to mental state, changes in desires and sensory conditions, and may also be the inability to lie...

He just answered so many of our questions, and it seems to be the latter, but this may be the precepts of their sect, just like the monks... His senses seem to be fine at the moment, and there is no sign of increased lust. There is no way to know for the time being. Guess what the price is... Hey, I just hope he doesn't have a split personality, otherwise, he is a compassionate Zen Naga now, and he may switch to a cruel and dark Zen Naga later...

Jiang Baimian knew that these "voices" of hers were likely to be heard by Chan Naga, but she just thought that these were irrelevant words and were reactions that every normal human being in the current situation would have. At most, she was just right. The awakened ones know more about the situation and have been exposed to the mechanical monks' purification method. This should not touch the reverse scale of Zen Naga, nor will it expose the countermeasures of the "Old Tune Team" - their escape plan currently does not exist at all, there is no How to expose something?

Looking at the dark motorcycle turning to other streets in front of him, Jiang Baimian turned sideways and looked at Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong in the back row.

She was amused and surprised to find that Shang Jianyao's expression was sometimes serious, sometimes happy, sometimes heavy, sometimes relaxed, just like wearing a kaleidoscope mask.

"What are you thinking about here?" Jiang Baimian asked thoughtfully.

She is not worried that her problems will lead to the leakage of Shang Jianyao's plan, because in the face of "other minds", this cannot be hidden at all.

Shang Jianyao's expression returned to normal, he nodded slightly and said:

“We each formulate our own escape plan but don’t vote on which one we ultimately adopt.

"Even if he hears our discussion, it is impossible for him to be on guard against every plan. When the time comes, we will vote according to the situation and take action immediately once the decision is made.

“In this way, he would only know a few seconds or ten seconds in advance and would not be able to fully respond.

"The codename we gave this method is: 'Thunderbolt.'"

Theoretically, it's feasible... Long Yuehong was stunned for a moment, and actually felt that Shang Jianyao's plan was quite good.

Jiang Baimian frowned slightly and said:

"The problem is, you, uh, you can't be fully prepared for every plan before you vote."

This is equal to air versus air.

Shang Jianyao frankly admitted:

"This is the biggest difficulty with this method."

Then, he added:

"I have another way, which is to keep thinking about it and let him always monitor.

"We can think about things all day long, but he certainly can't maintain his mind all day long."

Even if the awakened ones at the "soul corridor" level are far better than those from the "Origin Sea" like Shang Jianyao, their abilities must be limited.

As soon as Shang Jianyao finished speaking, a voice sounded in Long Yuehong's heart, a calm and indifferent voice:

"That's true, but you don't know when I'm using 'Hexin Tong' and when I'm not."

This...is this the voice of Zen Naga? No, I didn't hear it with my ears, it was like it popped up directly in my head... Long Yuehong's pupils were dilated, and he was extremely surprised.

He turned his attention to Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen, trying to determine whether he had auditory hallucinations or fantasies from their reactions.

The next second, Jiang Baimian looked around, sighed and said:

"His 'other mind' can actually be used in reverse..."

Zen Naga's "other mind communication" can not only hear the "voices" of the four members of the "Old Tune Group", but can also in turn allow them to hear Zen Naga's "thoughts".

This is close to the "consciousness communication" experiment that he wanted to do before the destruction of the old world... Jiang Baimian withdrew his gaze and remembered some information he had read in the past.

Long Yuehong was a little more pessimistic about whether she could escape from Zenaga's custody in advance:

Although Zenaga cannot use "other minds" all the time, the "Old Tune Group" has no idea when he is "listening" and when he is not "listening", so there is no way to determine whether the plan he envisioned has been implemented. He knew it in advance.

What's even more frightening is that Chan Naga can "hear" and pretend not to "hear", watch the "Old Tune Group" plan with a cold eye, squeeze out all their secrets, and finally destroy their hopes easily.

This current situation and this sense of oppression made Long Yuehong truly understand the horror of those awakened at the "soul corridor" level.

This is not comparable to Dimarco and "Higher Unintentional" who are in poor condition and have obvious flaws.

At the same time, Long Yuehong also deeply realized:

In the realm of awakened beings, taking the initiative is very important!

In the past, the "Old Tune Team" was able to kill Di Marco and crack the "virtual world". A large part of the reason was that they hid in secret and got the upper hand with the help of intelligence.

And Zenaga possesses the two great abilities of "foreknowledge" and "communication with other minds", which is simply synonymous with being the first to strike first.

In the dark green off-road vehicle, silence prevailed. Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others did not speak again for a long time.

Zen Naga, wearing a gray robe, rode a dark black motorcycle through the streets and alleys, leading the "Old Tune Team" to the easternmost part of the Red Giant Wolf District.

When they were about to leave the city, a temple appeared in front of Jiang Baimian and others.

It is seven stories high, with earthy yellow as the base and green and blue accents.

It has different pillars and large windows in the Honghe style, as well as various statues of Buddha, Bodhisattva and King Ming in the gray clay style.

These statues are located on the periphery of the top five floors, as if looking at the world in all directions.

"Almost there." Chan Naga's voice sounded again in the hearts of Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and others.

When they arrived here, Jiang Baimian could use his toes to deduce that he and others would be guarded in this strange temple next.

"'Crystal consciousness teaching'?" She guessed thoughtfully through the architectural style.

Her voice wasn't loud, but she knew Zenaga would be able to hear it.

Zenaga slowed down the speed of the motorcycle:

"Yes."

Jiang Baimian couldn't think of a way to escape for a while, so he could only talk casually:

"Zen Master, we still have a lot of belongings where we live. We can't go back for ten days. What if we lose them?

"Also, we are preparing to buy a solar charging panel for the original car. Ten days later, if the unrest still occurs, we may not have the opportunity. By then, we will be trapped in the city and unable to go Take refuge in the wasteland.

"Zen Master, I wonder if you could accompany us back first to sort out these things?

"If it doesn't work, you can send a few novice monks to run away once. I'll give you the address and keys."

Chan Naga looked at the temple that was getting closer and closer, and said in a calm tone:

"Okay, you can give me the address and keys later."

Jiang Baimian heard something in his heart and immediately nodded:

"Thank you, Zen Master. By the way, Zen Master, we went out today to save a companion. He was trapped in the enemy's house and could not find a chance to escape.

"Zen Master, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. You can't bear to see him lose his life because of your prophecy, right?

"How about this, you accompany us to the place where he is trapped, watch our actions, and prevent us from escaping. Don't worry, we don't like to use force ourselves. We will definitely use words to solve problems that can be solved with words, and this will not cause turmoil. If you If you are really worried, you can personally help us save people. I have no objection and even express my gratitude."

After hearing the team leader's words, four words flashed in Long Yuehong's mind:

A eloquent speaker.

If it were anyone else, Long Yuehong would think that the team leader's words would have no effect, but judging from the various performances just now, Zenaga might really be a compassionate monk.

Chan Naga, who was wearing a gray monk's robe, stopped his dark black motorcycle, turned over, and looked at the dark green off-road vehicle following behind.

Bai Chen stepped on the brakes.

Jiang Baimian endured Zen Naga's gaze calmly, because she really did not think of escaping by cooperating with "Garibaldi".

After a few seconds, Zenaga raised his left palm:

"Namo Anuttar Samyak Sambodhi, poor monk, please accompany you."
