Void Jigsaw Puzzle

Looking at Zhong Chenmu's expression and eyes, Guo Ling asked, "What did you think of?"

He knew Zhong Chenmu very well. Every time he saw the young man's expression and the light in his eyes, he knew that Zhong Chenmu had new ideas.

Moreover, these ideas and thoughts often lead to the final answer.

"If the communication mechanism of the Hydrogen Clan is like a communication network, then the problem of 'single node failure' must be solved. In other words, the communication channel between Hydrogen Chen and Hydrogen Memory cannot have only one node. Or, even if there is only one node under normal circumstances, if this node fails, there must be one or more backup nodes ready to fill in at any time. In other words, if Hydrogen Chen discovers that there is a problem with the communication pattern between herself and Hydrogen Memory, it may not be due to the problem with her leader node, but may also be due to other nodes or backup nodes."

Zhong Chenmu excitedly expressed his thoughts.

However, before Guo Ling could reply, he muttered to himself, "But how many other nodes or backup nodes are there? And who are they?"

Hearing this, Guo Ling took a deep breath. He suddenly thought of the man from the Hydrogen Clan whom he met after he met Hydron Chen when he first entered Taibai Star.

He quickly asked, "Do you remember the conversation we had on Taibai Star when I first entered it?"

Zhong Chenmu replied, "Of course I remember. At that time, I couldn't regain my physical body yet, and I was wandering alone on Taibai Star, bored to death. Fortunately, you had begun to comprehend the 'dual nature of reality and illusion'."

"At the time, I told you that besides meeting Hydron Chen and obtaining clues about the elemental node from her, I also encountered a member of the Hydron Tribe. That guy wasn't very polite, even a little rude... Do you remember his name? I remember you told me that he was an important figure in the Hydron Tribe. At that time, he seemed very eager to find Hydron Chen."

Hearing this, Zhong Chenmu was also stunned. He recalled carefully, then shuddered and said, "No way... could it be him?"

Guo Ling quickly asked, "Who?"

Zhong Chenmu looked at the corridor.

The corridor was very quiet at the moment, with no one in sight. After lunch, most people chose to take a stroll downstairs before coming back up. There were few people in the office area at this time, let alone in the corridor.

Zhong Chenmu whispered: "Hydrogen Ao. The Grand Marshal of the Hydrogen Clan..."

"Yes, yes, yes! That's him! Qingchen also introduced him in the small conference room this time!" Guo Ling realized it and slapped his head: "I remember you said last time that he wasn't particularly friendly to us."

Zhong Chenmu frowned. "Yes... Speaking of which, he was the first person from the Hydrogen Clan to contact us. At that time, Pierce led the twelve apostles to a large river to perform a 'River Sacrifice Ceremony' and had them dance... which attracted the Hydrogen Ao..."

Zhong Chenmu originally wanted to say that the Twelve Apostles were performing a striptease, but after all, he had not seen it with his own eyes, and now they were all members of the same team, so he did not want to make false statements or spread obscene rumors.

Guo Ling couldn't help but laugh: "There's this twist? He actually fell for the honey trap?"

"To be honest, I don't know the specific details. This is all what Pierce told me. However, the Hydrogen Clan members don't have a body, so it seems that they can't complete the beauty trap..." Zhong Chenmu blurted out.

Guo Ling looked at Zhong Chenmu with a playful expression: "Oh? You seem quite knowledgeable. Tell me, why is it necessary to have a physical body to complete the honey trap?"

“…” Zhong Chenmu blushed.

He quickly turned the subject back on track: "Qian Ao is the leader of the Hydron Mind, and as the Grand Marshal of the Hydron Clan, he certainly doesn't need an additional node to communicate directly with Hydron Memory. However, if he is one of the nodes or even a backup node for Hydron Chen and Hydron Memory to communicate, it is very possible... Then, considering what you said, he is eagerly looking for Hydron Chen, is it possible that he is the anomaly that Hydron Chen mentioned?"

After saying this, Zhong Chenmu took a breath of cold air.

If Hydrogen Aodu is possessed by the Turtle Clan, then the Hydrogen Clan is in danger! However, I have clearly eliminated the Turtle Clan within Wuming City, so how did they get to Taibai Star? Could it be that in addition to the wave that came from Wuming City, another wave directly invaded Taibai Star?

After hearing what Zhong Chenmu said, Guo Ling no longer had the heart to tease the boy. He said seriously, "It's very likely. The expression and appearance of Qian Ao when he came to me to inquire about Qian Chen's whereabouts that day were exactly like those of a bad guy chasing a good guy."

"If this is true, I will contact Hydron Chen immediately. She may not be able to return to Taibai Star or any Hydron territory. Otherwise, she is likely to be captured and infected by Hydron Ao. Moreover, I want to get more details from her." Zhong Chenmu said.

"Will she be willing? You tried several times that day, but she kept her mouth shut." Guo Ling asked.

"She has no choice. If Hydrogen Ao is really infected, the Hydrogen Clan will be in danger of extinction! And if the Hydrogen Clan is controlled by the Turtle Clan, our Wuming City will have no future! When the nest is overturned, the eggs will be broken! Therefore, we must unite with the Hydrogen Clan as soon as possible, and let Hydrogen Yi know about this as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Zhong Chenmu turned and walked towards his office.

Before leaving Guoling, he left a message: "Stop smoking, it causes cancer."

"..."

Returning to the office, Zhong Chenmu closed the door, then concentrated his mind and sent a message to Qingchen: "Come to Wuming City as soon as possible. I have something important to discuss with you."

I waited for half an hour, but there was no response.

Zhong Chenmu wanted to send a message to Qingnian several times, asking him to contact Qingchen and reply to him, but he held back.

"If Hydrogen Ao is really infected, Hydrogen Nian will probably not be able to escape unscathed either. It's better not to alert the enemy."

A whole afternoon passed, and there was still no response from Qingchen.

Zhong Chenmu felt very uneasy.

After all, he had used this method to establish a connection with Hydrogen Chen two days ago, and the effect was just like his initial communication with Hydrogen Nian, very real-time and smooth.

"Something must have happened to her!"

Thinking of this, he rushed out of the office and came to the door of Guo Ling's office.

The door was ajar, and he didn't bother to knock. He pushed it open and walked in. He was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Guo Ling wasn't sitting in the chair behind his desk. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the carpet in the center of his office in a rather odd position. He had his legs crossed, his eyes closed, and his hands stretched upwards, with the index fingers of each hand extended and pointed upwards.

Zhong Chenmu couldn't help but look up and follow the direction of his index finger. It was the ceiling, and there was nothing unusual.

He couldn't help but yell, "What kind of magic are you practicing?"

Guo Ling opened his eyes upon hearing the voice, and seeing that it was Zhong Chenmu, he felt a little embarrassed and quickly stood up, patting his pants while saying, "Hey, I just wanted to see if this would help me quickly comprehend the complete 'virtual-real duality' ability..."

"What's your logic?" Zhong Chenmu was both angry and amused.

"There's an old song called 'Left Hand Pointing to the Moon', which has a very mysterious feel. So I pointed to the sky with both hands to see if I could get some inspiration."

"..."

Zhong Chenmu casually picked up the broom at the door and threw it at Guo Ling: "Don't bother with these nonsense, just follow me to Taibai Star immediately, you will definitely be able to master it faster there!"
