Chapter 377 The Achilles' heel of Great Freedom?
After figuring out the origin of the scene in the painting, even more questions arose.
Why would a painter send a painting of a city in the Slug Autonomous Oblast to Bai Ze, especially one of Hansan City covered in snow?
Bai Ze's mind immediately began to sing: "You came from Dandong, and in return, you gave me a city of snow-white flowers."
The snow in the Slug Autonomous Oblast came exceptionally early this year, thanks to the guidance of Bai Ze.
After much thought, they still couldn't come up with an answer. Mu Yaoguang examined the oil painting but found nothing amiss. In the end, they could only keep a closer eye on Hanshan City and investigate after they got off the bus.
Just then, a knock sounded on the door, and then the door was pushed open.
"It seems we've come at the wrong time."
Lu Qiudi was still wearing her simple black robe, her long hair casually draped over her shoulders, her narrow phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, looking at Bai Ze and Mu Yaoguang with a half-smile.
The two were standing very close to each other as they were examining the oil painting, and from Lu Qiudi's perspective, it looked as if Bai Ze was embracing Mu Yaoguang.
Luo Shui, standing to the side, was itching to watch.
Only then did Bai Ze remember that Luo Shui had been called by Mu Yaoguang to go find Lu Qiudi.
It was also because Luoshui had an electronic invitation to unlock the door that he could push the door open and enter without having to open it from the inside.
"You've come at just the right time."
Mu Yaoguang casually brushed away the hand that had somehow wrapped around her waist, walked over as if nothing had happened, and asked, "Has the theologian's genetic blueprint been analyzed yet?"
"Not yet. The theologian studied under the immortal and also learned the ability to alter genes. His genes have already deviated from those of humans. It will take a lot of effort to draw up his genetic blueprint."
Lu Qiudi gave Bai Ze a meaningful look before saying, "I estimate that even if the genetic blueprint is drawn, it will be difficult to find his true identity. Even if the theologian is indeed someone we know, the data he left in the Federation's gene bank should be different from his current self."
L
Seeing that the theologian showed no sign of distress when he was injured, Lu Qiudi's guess was most likely true.
"It's alright. At least it provided a breakthrough, letting me know that the genes of theologians are now different from ordinary people," Mu Yaoguang said calmly, not disappointed.
The genes of theologians are different from those of ordinary people, probably due to the cultivation methods they practice. This change should be gradual and cannot be controlled by oneself.
This could be a major clue to finding the theologian.
Once we have the theologian's information, we can further narrow down the suspects, try to obtain their genes, and investigate them one by one.
The mystique surrounding theologians won't last much longer.
"And the corpse you brought over," Lu Qiudi looked at Bai Ze, her eyes gleaming with a probing intent, "searching for memories went very smoothly, or rather, too smoothly. Despite having his ancestral aperture between his eyebrows shattered and his spiritual consciousness extinguished, his brain was not damaged at all, and even retains some activity."
Lu Qiuhuo was very quick; during the time Bai Ze was negotiating with others, he had already retrieved all the memories he could.
The reason for such speed is simply due to practice.
All those resources that Japan spends every year are not wasted.
The speed was so fast because of their excellent skills, but the smoothness of the process is another matter entirely.
The person was dead, but the brain was still active, just like a person in a vegetative state. This was the first time Lu Qiuhuo had ever seen such a thing.
This is clearly not due to Wang Yiming's ability, but rather to someone else's tactics.
Considering Bai Ze's previous act of killing someone across a room on the train, it should be obvious who this "someone" is.
Lu Qiuhuo was quite curious about this method, since it would be helpful to her medical research.
However, judging from Bai Ze's expression, he doesn't seem to intend to share.
She stared at Bai Ze meaningfully for a long time, but Bai Ze didn't respond at all. Instead, he took a step and hid behind Mu Yaoguang.
So, Lu Qiudi's seemingly flirtatious gaze met Mu Yaoguang's calm eyes, and then she slowly looked away.
If it were someone else, Lu Qiuhuo might have used some tricks, or if all else failed, she could have used her older sister's affection to seduce the nineteen-year-old virgin.
She's always been quite flexible with her moral compass, but unfortunately, Bai Ze has now hooked up with Mu Yaoguang.
After five years of reflection, Mu Yaoguang is now far more cunning and capable than before; she has even extended her reach into the Wanyi Collection. Heaven knows how many grand schemes Mu Yaoguang orchestrated during her recovery period.
Unless absolutely necessary, it's best to avoid touching Mu Yaoguang's sensitive spots.
"These are the memories that remain in Wang Yiming's mind."
Lu Qiudi regretfully stopped her thoughts for the time being and handed a jade slip to Mu Yaoguang.
The jade slip, which may seem unscientific, is actually a technological product that combines modern technology with the refining techniques of the primordial world. It can be seen as a martial arts version of a storage device.
As for why it was made into a jade slip, it was naturally because of the unique Xianxia (fantasy/martial arts) sentiment of the Dongxia people.
This sentiment is a characteristic of Taiyi Academy. Everything produced by Taiyi Academy carries this style, such as Mu Yaoguang's Tai Su Wan Xiang Armor.
Mu Yaoguang took the jade slip and tried to infuse it with a trace of spiritual energy.
After Bai Ze spoke with the train conductor, the suppression in the train gradually eased, and it was now possible to release a certain amount of true qi and spiritual power.
This is why Lu Qiuhuo was able to extract the memories.
Mu Yaoguang quickly scanned the contents of the jade slip, then frowned and, handing it to Bai Ze, asked, "That's all?"
"That's all. His brain must have been modified by the Undead. Most of his memories of the Undead have disappeared," Lu Qiuhuo shrugged. "As you know, that Undead guy steals technology everywhere, especially from those who have obtained the 'Theory of Undead Evolution'."
Lu Qiuhuo had also obtained a chapter of "The Theory of Immortal Evolution" before, but was later exploited by Kosch.
Kosché spread his research findings everywhere, both to stir things up and to gather ideas from others and utilize their wisdom.
Bai Ze also probed the jade slip with his spiritual power and found that it contained only trivial matters, but also some useful information, such as that he would go to the Slu Autonomous Prefecture for a visit every six months, where Wang Yiming would enjoy the most honorable treatment.
During this process, Wang Yiming and his accomplices would also visit the research lab set up in the Slug Autonomous Okrug to see the research results.
He didn't miss any of his accomplices; several of their faces appeared in his memory. Although they were middle-aged, they bore obvious signs of age.
"It's the Slug Autonomous Region again," Bai Ze said.
The information in Wang Yiming's memory was related to the Slug Autonomous Prefecture, and the painting given by the painter was also related to the Slug Autonomous Prefecture, so... is it the future? Bai Ze thought to himself.
He hadn't forgotten that the painter also had Ivan, the prophet, by his side.
Mu Yaoguang had also thought of this, but she didn't say much. Instead, she asked about another matter, "How's Lin Suying's progress?"
"There's not much progress. She's now a follower of Da Zizai, so it's impossible to search her soul. We're also afraid that she'll be killed by Da Zizai like Yun Jingming, so we can only use medicine to make her unconscious," Lu Qiuhuo replied.
This is also the most troublesome aspect for believers of evil gods.
If we use soul-searching on them, they will definitely be spiritually corrupted by the evil god. If we suppress them with violence, it will only cause their consciousness to self-destruct, and their brains will turn into a mess.
Generally speaking, cult members are killed when they are caught, or used as bait to lure people in; there is no point in interrogating them for information.
However, before Yun Jingming died, he planned to betray his teammates and make Bai Ze fight them to the death, but Da Zizai took his life directly, proving the value of the information he knew.
In order to obtain this information, Bai Ze could only allow Yun Jingming's family of four to reunite later, sparing Lin Suying's life.
But now it seems that even if we spare her life for the time being, it will be difficult to obtain any information.
"It's not necessarily a complete loss," Mu Yaoguang said at this moment. "Da Zai is free and unrestrained, playing around in the world. Generally speaking, he only takes everything when his believers die. This time, he took the believers' lives on his own initiative, which is against his style and loses his dignity."
"If someone who's watching the show interferes with what's happening on stage, it's either because they're being unreasonable or because they're getting impatient," Bai Ze continued. "Being unreasonable is because they lack ability, and getting impatient is also because they lack ability. Otherwise, they could just sit back and watch the show quietly."
At this point, everyone showed a strange expression.
If this speculation is true, then not only is Da Zizai's behavior somewhat undignified, but it also indicates that his strength is not what it used to be and that he has not fully recovered.
"I plan to hand Lin Suying over to the Third Divine Enemy to deal with, so he can resolve the threat of Da Zizai silencing her," Mu Yaoguang said. "If Da Zizai takes Lin Suying's life halfway through, it won't be a loss; on the contrary, it will allow us to see Da Zizai's true strength and weaknesses further. In addition, the relevant information about the rescue of Yun Jingming and his wife should be found here."
So, is the truth really as they guessed?
Mu Yaoguang was unaware, and neither was Bai Ze.
However, it's never a bad thing to check, is it?
"Is it a bit too early to challenge Da Zizai now?" Bai Ze had a toothache; it seemed he needed to hurry up and improve his strength. He had to set up his fishpond as soon as he returned to school.
With these thoughts in mind, the train sped past mountain ranges and finally plunged into a blurry space.
