Chapter 710 I’m back

Chen Changsheng took out a map that looked very old.

The map was made of unknown leather, not the skin of livestock such as cattle, sheep, or beasts such as crocodiles and lizards. The surface texture was very delicate and the color was almost light green.

When Chen Yan looked at it for the first time, an idea immediately came to his mind: If this map wasn't light cyan, it looked like it was soaked in formalin solution in a laboratory...

"This is where you need to go."

Chen Changsheng's words interrupted Chen Yan's frightening thoughts.

“As for the thing you need to find, it’s [you’ll know it’s your goal when you see it].”

What a weird request this is...

Chen Yan took the map and saw a large flat area on the map. There were no mountains, no ravines, and no height differences marked. There was just a vast... sea area!

This is a sea chart.

Chen Yan found traces of a city in the lower right corner of the chart, and found writings as small and blurry as mosquitoes on the traces of the city:

"nd..."

That is the name of the empire that has been almost forgotten by the world.

The vast empire only occupies a tiny corner of this chart, no more than one percent of the entire chart. A route extends from the empire's position on the chart, spreading from the lower right corner to the upper left corner of the chart.

There are many islands connected on the route. Most of those islands are small and do not appear to be similar to continents or subcontinents. There are island groups, but there are only a handful of large island groups.

Around these island groups, there are extremely dense vortices distributed. These vortices vary in size and are marked with numbers that represent a certain meaning, which Chen Yan cannot understand.

The upper left corner of the chart, which is also the end point of the route, is covered by a fog-like thing, and nothing can be seen in it.

"The islands on the route are all colonies of the empire. As long as you follow the route and pass through these colonies, you can reach the end point."

Chen Yan pointed to the fog on the chart:

"What's here?"

Chen Changsheng replied:

"According to legend, this is the origin of everything, the promised land of all the wishes of everyone in the world, and the ultimate answer to all the problems in the world."

Chen Yan cursed and then said:

"If you want me to go to this place, you have to provide me with supplies. At least ships, supplies and sailors, right?"

Chen Changsheng said:

"That's your business."

After he finished speaking, he turned on his phone, clicked on the countdown, and showed it to Chen Yan:

"From now on, you still have 24 hours to prepare. After 24 hours, if you haven't set off yet, I will help you set off."

"When you get that thing back, you will regain the right to live in a normal society."

After he finished speaking, he walked towards the elevator without looking back.

Chen Yan felt a little irritable and turned to look at Ogami:

"Do I have no choice?"

Ogami has obviously thought about this matter seriously:

"If you don't care so much about how you live, you have choices."

Chen Yan obviously understood what he meant - if you want to live in the game they set the rules for, you must act according to the rules they set.

They have now formulated the rule that "Chen Yan must be exiled and can return to normal society after atonement." Chen Yan must act according to this rule in order to survive in normal society.

The rules they set are endorsed by irresistible violence and sanctions from the entire society.

Ogami can protect him for a while, but it is impossible to stay with him all his life. He must find a way to protect himself, and the simplest way is to fulfill William Adams' request, go to the end of the world, and get that shit

That "you'll know it when you see it" bullshit.

Chen Yan cannot change the social rules they set because personal power cannot change the laws of social operation cycles.

In the past week, he has verified this with practical actions - even with powerful ideological weapons, the demonstrators still cannot get back most of the power that should originally belong to them, because they cannot defy the laws of social operation -

Without enlightenment of thought, it is impossible for people to know what they deserve.

Ideological enlightenment is a long process, including the development of culture and the emergence, dissemination and acceptance of free will; the emergence of systematic theory; the revelation and summary of social events... In the world of Chen Yan's previous life, this process

It took nearly 400 years to create something from scratch.

Even if Chen Yan could bring all the knowledge about ideological enlightenment in Binglan's memory fragments to this world and spread it all to the Internet, it would be impossible for people to accept so much knowledge at once - how could people learn from empty indirect experiences?

Did you get lessons and enlightenment from it?

Whenever Chen Yan thinks about this, his whole body will feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

All historical processes are proceeding in an orderly manner, regardless of human subjective consciousness.

As a small individual, Chen Yan may be able to help the entire process to a certain extent, but he cannot change any key points.

What must happen must happen, and no one can stop it.

What should not happen will not happen immediately, and no one can change this situation at all.

The demise of the old rules is a long process, which must go through the efforts of countless people and inevitable bloodshed.

Before the old rules die, everyone must live under such rules and be controlled by such rules.

Chen Yan was silent for a long time and said:

"Let's go back...there are still many things to do before we leave."

Ogami nodded:

"The shuttle mining machine is downstairs."

After the two of them finished speaking, they walked towards the first floor of the prison.

…

…

At 1 o'clock in the evening, the east corridor of Yanan City's Central Park was brightly lit.

Even though it was late at night, the marchers still did not feel tired. They were eager to return to their home in the lower city. Even though the home only had a wooden bed and even had air leakage, the hope brought by the negotiations made them unwilling to return.

I feel desperate for this living situation.

If the negotiation is successful, you can continue working tomorrow. Good times are ahead!

Chen Yan followed the crowd's view and moved forward. Although he couldn't see how far away Walker Street was due to the darkness, he was still very excited.

Although the repressed period of more than a week in prison was not too difficult, once Chen Yan was sure that he would never leave that place, Chen Yan felt a sense of "freedom" that was so swollen that it could not be ignored.

'It's so late, Ogami should have brought my body back. As long as I get home, I can return to normal.'

He felt a little uneasy.

'I don't know what the William Adams Group's attitude is towards me, and I don't know what Chen Changsheng wants from me. I always feel that he has other purposes...'

While waiting anxiously, Chen Yan followed the crowd towards Walker Street. After entering Walker Street, he counted the house numbers one by one and continued to move forward. The moment he saw the house number of his house [No. 33], Chen Yan almost became excited.

collapse.

'Am I such an emotionally fragile person...'

He looked around, and after identifying the small shadow creatures entrenched around No. 33 Walker Street, he left the bodies of the marchers and entered the apartment as fast as he could.

Entering the door is the hall. At this time, the hall is dark, and there are no lights upstairs.

Similar to what we saw in the House before, the shadowy creatures with eyes all over their bodies only exist outside the residence. When there are people inside the residence, those things will not come in.

Chen Yan came to the kitchen and saw a faint light coming from the direction leading to the basement.

'They are in the basement...yes, they must be waiting for Ogami to come back with my body using the shuttle mining machine!'

Chen Yan then came to the second floor of the basement. At a glance, he saw the figures of Jack Baldo and a group of friends. They were waiting on the "pier" carried by the nautilus shell, seeming to be waiting anxiously.

'Ogami hasn't come back with my body yet.'

Chen Yan looked at his anxious companions and became less anxious. He waited patiently with them until the buzzing of the engine came from the underground cave passage adjacent to the dock, and until the shadow of the shuttle mining machine appeared in the next moment

Appear in front of everyone.

With the exhaust sound of the air pressure valve, the cockpit of the shuttle mining machine opened, Ogami walked out, and Chen Yan happily greeted him.

But the next moment, when he looked at the person appearing behind Ogami, his entire consciousness felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his mind was stagnant as if he was dead.

Behind Ogami, a complete Chen Yan who looked exactly like him came out and greeted his friends with a smile.

"I'm back!"
