Embers Ad Infinitum

The outside sunlight passed through the drapped curtain and shone into the depths of the temple, allowing Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao to barely see the person in the coffin.

He has long black hair, dressed in white linen, and skinny, like a corpse coated with preservatives and dried for many years.

In this state, Jiang Baimian could not see what his true appearance looked like, just like a simple skull. Without the help of a computer to restore, he can only preliminarily tell whether he is deformed or not, and he cannot tell whether he is handsome or not. .

If it weren't for the weak electrical signal to confirm that the other party still had biological activity, Jiang Baimian would only think that this was a mummy that did not rot due to the special environment, rather than the so-called sleeping "god."

Vaguely, she even felt a little preservative smell wafting from the tip of her nose.

This fits the current environment and is extremely crippling.

Jiang Baimian looked down slowly and found that the sleeping "god" was wearing a bracelet made of branches on his right wrist.

With a move in her heart, she turned her head to look at Shang Jianyao.

Shang Jianyao wore a monkey mask with a hairy face and pointed mouth, looking straight at the sleeping "god" like a corpse.

"You are here, what are you thinking?" Jiang Baimian hesitated for a moment, or asked.

Shang Jianyao replied seriously:

"Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, artificial respiration, non-card injection."

"..." Jiang Baimian once again confirmed that he was in good spirits and that he and Shang Jianyao were not in the same world.

After a few seconds, she said angrily and funny:

"Didn't the company's precautions have been said? Unless you have to, you can't touch this so-called sleeping ‘god’."

"Just saying that he can't move." Shang Jianyao's memory has always been very good.

Jiang Baimian "heh" said:

"Didn't I just say it? You have to leave a margin, and you have to treat it with higher and stricter standards."

Without giving Shang Jianyao a chance to refute, she sipped:

"You almost forgot about business.

"Don't you think this branch bracelet is familiar?"

Shang Jian Yao had already noticed:

"The branch laurel crown worn by the Murloc Awakener."

"It seems that his strength comes from the laurel crown." Jiang Baimian asked, "You should have touched the laurel crown at the time. Didn't you find anything unusual?"

Shang Jian Yao shook his head:

"very common."

"Yes, if it is peculiar, you will not leave it." Jiang Baimian looked down at the "mummy" face with only a layer of skin, and analyzed thoughtfully, "According to the Song warning person According to the description, the powerful awakened who have explored the depths of the'Spirit Corridor' can leave their breath in the'Spirit Corridor' or in the real world, blending with objects and even humans...Originally, the breath is fused in the crown of branches, But after the Murloc Awakener got it, the breath penetrated into his body, making him quite powerful? But it would also leave hidden dangers. At that time, he was just as breeding a monster..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian had a whim:

"If we didn't shoot forcibly and let the changes continue, what would happen in the end? Will this sleeping'god' wake up because of this?

"But if it's that simple, the believers before him can do it. Isn't it a very reasonable thing to protect yourself with the belongings of the gods?"

"Could it be that the prerequisite for the fusion of breath and human body is the awakened person in the same field?"

Her this is purely divergent speculation, without much basis, because there are other explanations.

For example, before the so-called Yan Luo descended into a deep sleep, he didn't know that such a thing would happen, and he didn't leave a word, but the believers fear him, dare not touch his body, dare not take away the objects from him. .

For Jiang Baimian’s guess, Shang Jianyao proposed a method of verification:

"Try it and you'll know."

"...No need." Jiang Baimian suppressed his eagerness.

She knew what Shang Jian Yao meant:

He and the Murloc Awakener are obviously not in the same area. Jiang Baimian himself is not even the Awakened. If they remove the branch bracelet, they can use it directly, but they are not absorbed by the breath, which can explain a lot of things.

But this is very, very dangerous.

After sighing, Jiang Baimian took the gun in one hand, turned his wrist and looked at the electronic watch:

"There are nine minutes left."

At the same time she crossed the threshold of the temple, she had already started counting.

This also leaves a margin, no longer a quarter of an hour, but thirteen minutes.

Shang Jianyao took the time to put forward an idea:

"You said, can he hear us?

"If I sang, would he appreciate it? Could there be a song that would make him stand up from the coffin and dance with it?"

With you, the weird, eerie, and terrifying scenes will become weird, even full of funny feelings...unless you happen to want to scare people...Jiang Baimian first saw the white linen in the coffin" She was still a little panicked when she was a corpse, and now, she didn't know what expression to treat the target with.

After hesitating, Jiang Baimian responded:

"You can try the dialogue, sing, then, no need."

Shang Jianyao sighed with regret, took a step forward, looked inside the coffin and said:

"Can you hear me? Blink if you can."

He said it in Dushui and Honghe respectively.

The skinny and sleeping "god" in white linen did not respond to this.

Shang Jianyao suddenly increased the volume:

"Your hat was snatched away!"

Refers to the laurel tree branch.

The sleeping "god" like a corpse still seems to have been dead for many years.

"It seems useless." Jiang Baimian made a judgment.

Seeing that Yao still didn't give up, Shang yelled again:

"Your wife ran away with someone!"

? This broadcast dared to broadcast anything... Jiang Baimian forcibly suppressed his smile.

The sleeping "god" lying quietly in the coffin remained unchanged.

When Shang Jianyao changed Honghe language and tried again, Jiang Baimian sighed:

"If it weren't for you to make sure that he has residual human consciousness, I can also sense weak electrical signals. I can't believe that he is still alive.

"He has been asleep for at least 30 to 40 years? The body still retains a certain amount of activity. This is incredible. Does anyone else regularly inject glucose and nutrients into him?"

Even if human beings restore the hibernation ability hidden in their genes, they will not be able to do this kind of thing.

Shang Jian Yao thought for a while and said:

"Cryonics technology."

Jiang Baimian is not unfamiliar with this term, he pondered for a moment and said:

"You mean, he used a certain ability or something to put his body into a state similar to deep freezing?"

Obviously, this is definitely not a true deep freeze. Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao were standing in front of the coffin but felt a little gloomy.

"You have to wake him up to be sure." Shang Jianyao raised his hand and touched his chin.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Jiang Baimian:

"look……"

"Stop! What are you looking at?" Jiang Baimian was alert for an instant, "What do you want to do?"

Shang Jian Yao answered frankly:

"I want to try to use the Awakened ability on him.

"Look, think about it, my awakened ability can be used on creatures with human consciousness, and he retains human consciousness."

Without the help of the "inference clown", Jiang Baimian has understood Shang Jianyao's thoughts.

Not to mention, she really feels that this has practical value and the possibility of success.

"The company just said that if it is not necessary, the body of this sleeping'god' cannot be moved. My additional condition is that it is best not to touch it..." Jiang Baimian said thoughtfully, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com "Spiritual Level" The influence and exposure of the virus are not included in the precautions."

Hearing these words, Shang Jianyao became excited for a moment, even took off his mask, and wanted to do his best.

Jiang Baimian immediately added:

"The'inference clown' is no good, he should not be able to hear you.

"The'hypothetical person' and the'absence of two-hands movement' are both theoretically possible, but I suggest using'the lack of two-hands movement', because the former will directly produce hypocritical effects and may bring unnecessary accidents, while the latter will establish a connection first , And then affect his hands. Well, his hands can't move. In this way, there will be no obvious changes in the whole process, and the risk can be minimized."

Jiang Baimian didn't want to see this "mummy" suddenly sit up.

"Good." Shang Jian Yao had no objection.

Jiang Baimian immediately took off the rubber glove on his left hand and moved his fingers.

She smiled and said:

"I don't touch anything here, but I can give it to you.

"I will closely observe your state later, and if something is wrong, I will wake you up."

While she was speaking, there was a dash of electric current in her left hand.

Shang Jianyao glanced at her, then turned his gaze to the sleeping "god" in the coffin again.

His thoughts quickly stretched over, connecting with the other's consciousness.

Suddenly, Shang Jianyao's eyes became pitch black.

It was as if he had returned to the "Sea of ​​Origin", only a little light could be seen.

With the help of these dim lights, he found a window, and a dim tall tower stood straight into the clouds far away from the window.

Under the window, there was a figure creeping in the dark, without the slightest movement.

Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at Shang Jian Yao.

There was a strange light in his eyes, and a weak voice came out from his mouth:

"help me!"
