Chapter 29: Transcendence

On the first basement floor of the bar, a large number of groceries were piled up, and Xu Yichuan followed Li Bai down the wooden ladder to the second floor. There is a large variety of sake stored here.

Wherever Li Bai went, Xu Yichuan followed. He didn't dare to say a word, he was scared and excited. He vaguely began to look forward to what would happen next, to be brutally killed, or whatever. He knew that no matter what the end was waiting for him, he only had to wait, the greasy uncle in front of him with his back to him was even more terrifying than a terrorist armed all over, he had some kind of superpower, and the sloppy uncle in a white robe was also a monster, and he was in front of them, like an ant who accidentally climbed into the palm of someone else's palm in search of food. Now unless you suddenly grow wings...... No, Xu Yichuan thought to himself, now is the legendary situation where it is difficult to fly. Even if he had the most advanced weapons in his hands, he would not dare to be presumptuous. He himself couldn't imagine how he could have such a thought in his head, thinking that the other party was the kind of immortal who could call the wind and rain in mythology.

"I'm too superstitious." Xu Yichuan couldn't help but complain about himself psychologically.

Li Bai walked to a wine rack and took out a bottle of spirits, which was filled with purple liquid in the glass bottle.

"The country of R, called Purple Rain, would you like a cup?" Li Bai took down a delicate wine glass from another shelf, and without waiting for Xu Yichuan to answer, he poured eighty percent into the glass, and the aroma of wine overflowed and spread.

Xu Yichuan looked at Li Bai's terrible smile, where did he dare to say anything, it is illegal for minors to drink alcohol or something. Now in the wolf's den, Li Bai is his law. He didn't dare to hesitate, took the wine glass in Li Bai's hand, and didn't care if it was purple rain or black rain, he sent it to his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp. At this time, even if Li Bai asked him to drink urine, he had to drink it correctly.

Xu Yichuan's throat suddenly felt a warm burning sensation, he frowned, closed his eyes tightly, coughed a few times in discomfort, and really wondered why such a bad thing as yin liquor would make so many people addicted.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already in front of a different scene.

"Am I hallucinating?" Xu Yichuan asked.

"No, what you see now is real." Li Bai replied.

The spacious white interior is as bright as day. There are many rooms here, and the walls are transparent glass, so you can see several people in each room, all wearing white uniforms, sitting in front of various instruments in a daze, or operating, some of them standing and drinking coffee, but never taking their eyes off the stack of manuscript paper in their hands. Some people sit around discussing something, or some people sit around and it's an emotional argument. Xu Yichuan couldn't hear any subtle sound in every room, and the sound insulation effect was very good.

"Where is this?" Xu Yichuan asked curiously.

"Beyond."

"What?" Xu Yichuan

"There are many branches of Beyond, but trust me, it's not the ones you know. And in the eyes of everyone, the headquarters is just an empty shell with nothing on the surface. This is the most authentic part of the transcendence, one of the most important parts. Li Bai said, walking towards the end of the corridor. The corridors are long, and they need to walk up for a while. The corridors are also wide, wide enough to allow for the use of vehicles. Xu Yichuan jumped to give it a try, and Li Baiyin obviously wanted to walk to the end.

"I thought you were just a bartender or a bar owner or something."

"I'm really a bartender and the owner of a bar."

"Then you must have some other identity, otherwise how could there be a branch beyond the company hidden in the basement of your bar."

"Who said it was hidden under the bar?"

"Isn't that how we came here?"

"Are you sure?"

Xu Yichuan thought for a while and said, "After I drank that glass of wine, I came here. Something to do with wine? ”

"There are many things in this world that are invisible. Humans laugh at the frog at the bottom of the well, but they don't know that they are no better. There are many unknowns in this world, and one of the meanings of transcending existence is exploration. Behind every door is a space, the door is just a concept, in most people's eyes, the door is a specific thing, what we see in our lives, and every building closes or opens a space switch. ”

"That bottle of wine is the key?" Xu Yichuan is not very sure.

Li Bai stopped, glanced back at Xu Yichuan, and thought to himself, this would be the right person. Xu Yichuan was inexplicably seen.

"Yes."

Li Bai continued to walk towards the end of the corridor, Xu Yichuan didn't dare to lag behind, but his eyes didn't listen to his own call at all, looking east and west, his eyes were full of desire.

"Why did you do it so covertly, how did you do it, and by what principle?" Xu Yichuan asked curiously.

"You'll know later, or you may never know, depending on how much you can do."

"I'm a genius."

"None of the people who come here are stupid."

"I'm different."

"Of course you are different, because your surname is Xu, and your brother's name is Xu Yongyan."

"I know he's a big celebrity, but there are many people with the surname Xu."

"You probably don't know what it means to be the first in the Hidden Hero?"

"First? I always hear him nag at me, he is often abused by a little Taoist priest and a player whose ID is called Ghost Lonely and crying dad and calling mother. ”

"I'll just say casually, I'm not in charge of the big hero. But I heard that Xu Yongyan has a younger brother, and I guess it's you. You have a lot in common besides your last name. ”

"For example, we are all men."

That's enough to exclude about half of the world's people. Even if you're not, I have a good reason to bring you here. ”

"I thought we were here to see Wu Yilin."

"You'll see."

"Wu Yilin is also here?"

"Of course not."

"And how do I see her?" Xu Yichuan emphasized that it was face-to-face.

"I'll see you when you need to." Li Bai's tone was a little impatient.

"I still want you to say that if it weren't for the sake of seeing her, I wouldn't have been brought to this place by you."

"You don't like it here? Compared to Wu Yilin, it is much better here, how many people dream of knowing the truth of this world, and anyone who gets such an opportunity should cherish it. ”

Maybe their fans don't think so, they just want to dream of Wu Yilin, as long as they can see her, they don't want any chance to know the truth of the world. That's a scientist's business, and it has nothing to do with ordinary, game-loving people. ”

"You don't know Wu Yilin at all, she may eat all of your dreams."

Xu Yichuan did not refute, even if he did not agree with Li Bai's statement, it was pointless to argue. Most importantly, he felt like a hostage, and if he wanted to live, it was best not to provoke the kidnappers.

"The scientists in this world don't know anything at all. Compared to theologians. They may be the biggest liars, and they will only talk serious nonsense. Li Bai said.

"So you know?"

"It's not all of it, but it's certainly better than the gods and goddesses of the scientists."

"How can you be sure that what you know is true?"

"I believe in the direction of transcendence. Transcendence is on the right path. Do you know what they're all working on? Li Bai's eyes swept across the two rows of rooms.

"How did I first arrive, please advise." Xu Yichuan said.

"We've activated some kind of power, maybe I should say energy, but it's not stable, we're trying to control it. As I said, there are many doors in this world, and if we find the corresponding key, we can open the corresponding space. This energy will open up new and unknown areas for us. ”

"What's that?" Xu Yichuan ran to a piece of glass. In the room, several people are working around a device engraved with symbols. A drop of white light inside the instrument is tightly covered by the transparent glass. They adjusted the knobs and recorded the amount of energy produced against the gauge while observing the changes in the light particles and the mysterious symbols. The light particles are dimmed and darkened, like a wick that receives an unstable current.

"Pure cause, that is, that energy. How? Interested? ”

Xu Yichuan was certainly interested.

Of course, Li Bai also knows how to arouse a person's curiosity.

"What are they doing?" Xu Yichuan asked curiously and looked at it curiously.

"This group is probably the closest to success at the moment. It was they who discovered that there was a resonance between the sign and the pure cause. ”

"What symbol?"

"You know, you deciphered Wu Yilin's songs, and it was through those symbols."

"No wonder it looks so familiar. Do those symbols really mean what is stated in that book? ”

"No, we give the symbolic meaning, as a code, and what the meaning of the symbol itself is, no one knows."

"Maybe now."

"You know?" Li Bai asked in disbelief.

"I don't know yet, we can ask the pure cause."

"Does it understand human speech?"

"It's not whether it understands what we're saying, it's whether we can understand what it's saying."

"You think you can?"

"Yes is yes, no can is no, I don't feel it, I haven't tried it, of course I don't know if it can or can't."

"But you have faith."

"How dare a person who has no confidence think he is a genius?"

"They all think that they are extremely smart, and they are indeed smart, but now, they are all beginning to doubt themselves, whether they are geniuses or stupid."

Xu Yichuan's forehead and nose were pressed against the glass, but the people inside didn't seem to care that there were two people outside looking at everything in the room at the moment, because they couldn't see the scene outside the glass, they were fully engaged and didn't allow themselves to be distracted.

"The truth is, many people who think they are geniuses just don't see their own stupidity at all."

"You're certainly not." Li Bai looked at Xu Yichuan seriously, his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through everyone. And Xu Yichuan was still staring at the pure cause that emanated a mysterious light in the room, and his eyes seemed to be able to see things that others could not see.

"You can see that, you're not stupid." Xu Yichuan was attracted by pure causes, and obviously forgot about his own situation, so he said this.

"A child like you is really unpleasant."

Xu Yichuan realized it later, so he adjusted his tone, thinking that he was very respectful, but in fact he said very stinky fart: "I don't need to please anyone." ”

Li Bai smiled, he actually liked Xu Yichuan very much.

"Come on, the one at the end of the hallway is my research room."

Xu Yichuan looked at the camera and found that there was only that one, not a glass wall that was transparent to the shadow.

"It seems that you are special."

"You can't see that, you're not stupid." Li Bai imitated Xu Yichuan's tone and said.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"The bartender, the bar owner, and the manager here. I also have a lot of statuses, most notably, being one of the top 10 shareholders. ”
