It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 386 [035] Unrecognizable

Qin Jiandan learned a lot of information from the recording left by his parents, which was implicitly related to the words left by the sheriff's mother: "The door is closed, and the oppression is eternal."

The portal back to Earth still exists, but it's hidden by the Company under the Central Tower. Is the Company planning to close that portal permanently? How does the portal affect the Company's power? Once the portal is completely closed, will the Company become invincible?
"Fuck it! The company and the rebels were about to have peace talks. It's all the fault of those idiot businessmen. If they hadn't summoned that idiot God, everyone would be happy!"

Due to cognitive blocking, Qin Jiandan was unable to find out who the ███ wealthy businessman in the recording was, and could only use SB instead.

Such important information must be returned to the headquarters immediately to share with Master and Doctor Li. Qin Jiandan asked Linlin to put away the Walkman and ordered the guards to seal the Gear Prosthetics Store and keep it under strict surveillance.

In the lounge of the west martial arts training ground, Qin Jiandan held an emergency meeting. Participants included Master Qin Qi, Doctor Li, Hu Chi, and of course Linlin.

He first recounted the process of discovering the hibernation chamber, and then played a recording in public. Qin Jiandan also said the words left by the sheriff's mother: "The door is closed, and the oppression is eternal."

Surprisingly, except for Linlin, no one present could figure out who the wealthy businessman in the recording was. It seemed that all the people in Huanshi City had been blocked from knowing what he was.

The master drank the light tea on the table, with his right face in the shape of an ancient corpse. Qin Jiandan and Linlin had gotten used to it over time and didn't find it scary. The master twisted his beard and said:

"When I was a kid, I heard that the company's central tower had a built-in 'Tower of Babel' system that could produce a mass brainwashing effect, inserting cognitive shielding into everyone's brain. If time is stagnant in the hibernation chamber, Linlin may have escaped the cognitive shielding because of this. Jiandan, you also escaped it, but Doctor Li said that you suffered a similar mental attack later. Not only are you the same as us, but you can't even tell the details of that attack, right?"

Qin Jiandan nodded solemnly. No matter how he tried to tell the story of Councillor Squid, his mouth wouldn't obey him, and writing or other methods didn't work.

Doctor Li's glasses reflected white light. He clasped his hands together and placed them on the table:

"This reminds me of the story of the Tower of Babel in the Bible. People of different nationalities planned to build a tower to the sky, but this angered God, so God confused their languages ​​so that they could not communicate, and the tower collapsed. Could this actually be a story about a prehistoric civilization, and the truth is contrary to what is recorded?"

Qin Qi's long eyebrows moved: "How is it the opposite?"

Ever since being attacked by Alexander's supernatural power and transferring his tough thoughts through the flying dragon pattern, Qin Qi's personality has become much gentler. He didn't even get angry when Doctor Li said "Gad" as "God".

Doctor Li continued: "Perhaps the Tower of Babel, like the Central Tower, is a symbol of oppression. People of different nationalities came together to destroy it, and at this time the Tower of Babel launched a cognitive shield, causing people of different cultural backgrounds to hate each other and disintegrate their alliance."

Tiger Chi was surprised and asked, "Isn't it because they hate each other, not because they want to confuse their language?"

Doctor Li: "It takes a long time for a mature language to evolve. Even cognitive shielding cannot create multiple languages. A more reasonable guess is that the Tower of Babel caused hostility between ethnic groups that had already reached cooperation."

Qin Jiandan asked: "Who is the real owner of the Tower of Babel?" He looked at Linlin beside him with a particularly expectant look.

Linlin shrugged. "From the information in the recording, it could be some █████████████████████████████████, but no matter what I say, you can't hear those words clearly!"

Doctor Li: "Perhaps there was an organization similar to a company on ancient Earth. Let's refer to them as 'Company Ancestors'. I have tried it many times and this is a safe term to use."

Qin Jiandan suddenly realized that Dr. Li might know more about the company's truth, but he was also bound by cognitive barriers and could not reveal the part of the secrets he knew.

Qin Qi: "It seems that these company ancestors boarded the immigration spacecraft, and after causing trouble on Earth, they are now entrenched in the Central Tower and causing trouble for the people of Ringstone City! We have to find a way to kill them all."

Doctor Li: "According to the current intelligence analysis, the portal back to Earth is still under the central tower. Once the portal is closed, the company will have an unshakable suppression advantage. If we want to do something, we must complete it before the portal is closed."

After a few days of rest, the bandage on Tiger Chi's left arm was finally removed:
"It's difficult. We need to deal with the company while dealing with the Ni'an Society. It's also a time-limited task. It's even more difficult!"

Qin Qi glanced at his apprentice, and Tiger Chi shrank into a ball in fear, like a bear being stared at by a Russian. In order to help his senior brother ease the embarrassment, Qin Jiandan said to his master in a flattering way:

"Tonight, I will take advantage of the night to pull the hibernation chamber back to the headquarters. Time is stagnant inside the hibernation chamber. As long as Master sleeps inside, he can prolong his life and wait for a turnaround!"

Qin Jiandan deliberately did not mention the word "lung cancer", but the master himself did not shy away from it:
"Bullshit! If I were afraid of death, I would have gone to the company to get an artificial lung to treat lung cancer. I don't want the company to get the secret of the Steel Armor Breathing Technique! Waiting for a turnaround? How can there be a turnaround when I'm already fast asleep!"

Doctor Li: "I've seen the photos Linlin took. I'm afraid these two hibernation chambers are not powered by phlogiston batteries. Their energy source is the purple liquid originally stored inside - that is, the superconducting phlogiston crystal. Judging from the intelligence, the purple rivers that were originally seen everywhere have been exhausted. Even if they still exist, they are controlled by the company."

Linlin clenched her fists angrily: "If I had known, I wouldn't have opened the hatch so easily. If the purple liquid inside doesn't evaporate, the hibernation chamber can be used by Master!"

The master was indeed a little biased. Qin Jiandan was scolded for letting the master sleep in the hibernation cabin. Linlin also said the same thing, but the master persuaded her kindly:
"Forget it. Everyone has their own destiny. After 100 years of consumption, there is not much left of the purple liquid. Linlin, it is worth it for you to see what your parents look like."

Qin Qi was not particularly surprised that Qin Jiandan's adoptive parents and Linlin's biological parents were Westerners. He was a man of few words. Qin Jiandan was originally called "Bono" and spoke English very well. Linlin's appearance when she was a child was more like a Westerner. These could not be hidden.

However, from ancient times to the present, Han culture has always placed more emphasis on "cultural identity". The famous historian Chen Yinke once wrote: "Anyone who has been sinicized is considered a Han Chinese, and anyone who has been Hu Chinese is considered a Hu Chinese, regardless of their ancestry."

Qin Qi doted on Linlin like his granddaughter, regardless of her bloodline. Qin Qi also never objected to the men of the Yelong Society marrying "Hu Ji" as their wives.

Doctor Li: "Although the hibernation chamber can no longer play its original role, as a fantasy creation with internal technology, it is still very valuable for research. We should hurry back to the headquarters as soon as it gets dark. Jiandan, you'd better go there in person and don't let it fall into the hands of others."

Qin Jiandan: "Ware, there are still some guards over there. I will go there after the meeting. Doctor Li, aren't you researching immune drugs for phlogiston disease? Maybe the hibernation capsule will give you some inspiration. I will put it in your underground research base after I bring it back."

As he said this, he winked at Doctor Li, meaning that if the hibernation chamber could still be started, don't miss the opportunity to let the master lie down in it.

There is a closed laboratory in the basement of the clinic, where Dr. Li would go late at night to conduct research on the phlogiston disease vaccine. Qin Jiandan wondered if Dr. Li really needed to sleep.

The meeting also discussed the treatment of Uncle Gear. Qin Qi thought that this guy was not honest and might have sold some information to the company. Linlin was kind and spoke well of Uncle Gear. Finally, the meeting decided to let Uncle Gear work for the Night Dragon Society under the supervision of the guards, and not to waste his prosthetic repair technology and data hoarding habit.

After the meeting, Qin Jiandan immediately went to the gear prosthetics store to meet Walei. Walei was guarding the hibernation chamber nervously and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qin Jiandan coming.

"I didn't even have time to call Mu Yue and tell her that we found her mother's message! How are you going to compensate me?"

Qin Jiandan: "This message is of great importance. We cannot use communication tools such as the phone to prevent eavesdropping. Let's go back to the headquarters together when it gets dark, and then find time to go to the inner city tomorrow."

Next, Qin Jiandan repeated the content of the meeting to Valei, including the recording in the Walkman. Valei didn't care much about Qin Jiandan's identity as a first-born person, but when she heard that the purple liquid that could fulfill wishes had evaporated, she expressed great regret:
"Damn it! If I had known that would happen, I would have made a wish to let Mu Yue become my wife!"

"Asshole, do you think that's a dragon ball? You have to have a very strong and urgent mood to make a wish successfully! And it's best if many people make a wish together!"

"Eh? Wouldn't Mu Yue become the wife of many people? Never mind." Vale's excitement was extinguished. "It's already difficult for me to share with you alone..."

I agreed with Vale that the next day we would go to the inner city to apologize with clues about the sheriff's mother. That night, the hibernation capsule was transported back to the headquarters under the cover of darkness, and nothing went wrong on the way.

He placed the hibernation capsule in the underground research institute of the medical center, sent Vale to the guest inn, and said some sweet words to Linlin. Qin Jiandan was busy all day and finally had time to wash up and go to bed, but when he slept in his guard room until 1 a.m., he felt something slippery crawling into his bed...
