Embers Ad Infinitum

  Chapter 274 Strange Illusion

  Hearing Shang Jianyao’s question, Jiang Baimian let out a "uh":

   "I don't know this anymore.

  "He is still somewhat different from the person you used to use the "Reference Clown" before.

   "I just had an effect, breaking the illusion, I thought it was a surprise."

  The phantom interaction is more similar to a conscious artificial intelligence mechanism. What effect can be achieved? Shang Jianyao has no experience, and Jiang Baimian can't reason out.

   "You don't need to make friends, it's enough to let him not target us." Long Yuehong couldn't help but say.

  If Shang Jian Yao and such a powerful "highly unintentional" become friends, what's the deal? Wouldn't it be possible to walk sideways in Tarnan, bullying whoever wants to bully, and pranking whoever wants to prank?

   Wet the pants in front of the other members of the group just now, leaving a certain psychological shadow on Long Yuehong.

   "Hope." Jiang Baimian looked around the dark night and the lights dotted with it, "Keep on duty."

  Shang Jian Yao heard this and leaned on the Jeep with a little disappointment.

  Time passed by one minute and one second, Bai Chen suddenly said:

   "Look over there."

  Jiang Baimian and others uphold the preset plan and looked at the area monitored by Bai Chen with a posture of "think twice before acting".

  I don’t know when there were buildings that were not too high.

  These buildings form the so-called “community”, “community” or “neighborhood” in the old world, surrounded by greenery.

  At this time, everything there is not very clear at night, only the light from behind one side of the glass window can bring a sense of peace of mind and warmth.

   "This should be an illusion, right?" Long Yuehong hesitated and muttered to herself.

   "Except for hallucinations, no one can build such a community in just a few seconds." Jiang Baimian replied in the affirmative.

   "There are dreams." Shang Jianyao "helped" her to perfect her rhetoric.

  They are extremely sure that the community in front does not belong to Tarnan.

  It appeared out of thin air.

   "What does that'higher unintentional person' do to create an illusion that we can see through at a glance?" Jiang Baimian looked at the quiet and quiet community and said his doubts.

Shang Jianyao nodded "thoughtfully":

  "Say hello to us?

   "He thinks I am already a friend?"

   Jiang Baimian wanted to refute, but he swallowed it again.

   "It is possible." Bai Chen actually supported Shang Jianyao's statement.

  After all, she has also seen the magic of the "inference clown".

   "Then how should I respond?" Shang Jian Yao was embarrassed.

   "Let's watch the changes first." Jiang Baimian decided to adopt a prudent strategy.

  As soon as her voice fell, all the lights in the community went out at the same time.

  No, there is another light on, like a lone boat on the vast lake.

  It quietly bloomed with a yellowish light and became the most eye-catching focus in the dark night.

   "That'higher unintentional person' wants us to enter that room?" Jiang Baimian speculated about the meaning of this change.

  She refers to the room corresponding to the remaining light.

   "Oh..." Shang Jian Yao suddenly realized, "He wants to invite us to his house as a guest."

"Don't move." Jiang Baimian stopped Shang Jianyao's eagerness. "If you are affected by such a simple illusion and you step on a landmine, I will definitely write on your epitaph, "This person is stupid." ."

  The "Old Tune Team" has a lot of mines and traps around, and in the illusion, the ghost knows whether there is any error in the direction and distance.

   "I think he should be harmless." Shang Jian Yao said sincerely.

  After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Long Yuehong.

   "Be a spy, go by yourself!" Long Yuehong responded vigilantly.

   "Okay!" Shang Jianyao seemed to be waiting for the answer, and then Jiang Baimian was caught.

  There is this kind of routine? Long Yuehong was a little dumbfounded.

  At this moment, the night-deep neighborhood enlarged in front of them, and the distance between them was shortened in an instant.

  In just a few seconds, Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others were in the community, downstairs with the only light on.

  "It's really enthusiastic..." Shang Jianyao exclaimed sincerely.

  Speaking, he sighed:

   "It's a pity that he wants to eat people, and he eats a lot of people, otherwise I can really make friends with him."

  You still have a bottom line... Jiang Baimian murmured in his heart, and then reminded:

  "Don’t move first, if we should be allowed in, he will take the initiative to let us in, and if we should be allowed to see, he will take the initiative to let us see."

   "Hmm." Long Yuehong felt that this was exactly what she thought.

  Jiang Baimian’s remarks were quickly confirmed, and the four members of the “Old Tune Team” were directly “transferred” into the building.

  In this process, they are as if they are climbing stairs and taking the elevator.

  It didn’t take long before they reached the top floor, which was the 11th floor.

  There is only one family here, the door is wide and long, and it is vermilion red.

  The faint light shines through the windows high in the aisle, which makes the figures stand out.

  They are all human beings. There are men and women, old and young, and they all dress differently, but they reflect the style of the old world.

  At this time, they were squeezing at the door, peeking into the room from the cracks like a madman.

   "This is, what are you doing?" Long Yuehong looked puzzled.

  "Is this the embodiment of the crazy instinct in the subconscious of the'higher unintentional'?" Jiang Baimian tried to explain it from a psychological perspective.

  Shang Jian Yao shook his head and said in a serious tone:

  "This shows that something is happening inside..."

  Before he finished speaking, the four members of the "Old Tune Team" "passed through" the vermilion door with no real feeling and entered inside.

  Subconsciously, Long Yuehong glanced back.

  There seemed to be a pair of eyes looking into the gaps in the door.

  Hiss... Long Yuehong had a kind of creepy feeling inexplicably.

  At this time, Jiang Baimian and their gazes crossed the amazingly spacious living room and looked at a floor-to-ceiling window.

  The floor-to-ceiling windows were immersed in darkness, and the faces of human beings clung to them.

   Their expressions are distorted, and there is an unknown light in their eyes.

  It's like there is a platform outside the window, and these people are crowded there, peering into the house through the window.

  On the other side, at the open glass window, there is a figure sitting on the railing.

  She is a slender woman, with long black hair draped in a mess, her face is covered by darkness, and she can't see clearly.

  At this time, the woman was crying, repeating a sentence constantly:

   "Are you trying to kill me... Are you trying to kill me..."

   "No." Shang Jianyao replied.

  But the woman turned a deaf ear, slammed her body up, and jumped out of the window.

  Shang Jian Yao stretched out his hand, but because the distance was too far, he couldn't reach it.

  At this time, Jiang Baimian, who knew this was an illusion, was looking around.

  She saw a tablet computer on the ground not far away.

  The computer is on, flashing light, and there are photos and text on it.

  The photo seems to be a woman in a hat getting into a car, and the text reads:

  "The popular idol Jiang Xiaoyue travels with the middle-aged rich man"

Snapped!

  The woman who jumped out of the window fell heavily to the ground.

  The entire illusion was instantly distorted, and Long Yuehong, Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, Bai Chen and others had their thoughts sucked away by the vortex at the same time, and the soul seemed to be leaving the body.

  There was an unstoppable panic in their hearts, as if they were facing darkness that could devour their lives.

  Gradually, their consciousness began to blur.

  Huh... Jiang Baimian struggled to "wake up" and found that he was still next to the jeep, surrounded by pitch black, only the light bulb illuminating the mirror and wooden sign was on.

  She looked at Shang Jianyao subconsciously, and found that this guy seemed to be about to push herself.

  "Are you free from the illusion?" Jiang Baimian asked as he walked two steps, trying to wake up Bai Chen not far away.

   "Yeah." Shang Jian Yao turned his body sideways and shook Long Yuehong.

  Long Yuehong quickly woke up, only to feel that her head was very dizzy.

  After a few seconds, he wakes up:

"stop!

  "Don't shake it!"

  "Are you awake?" Shang Jianyao asked regretfully, as if there were still multiple plans reserved.

  Long Yuehong faintly replied:

"Correct."

  Seeing that all the members of the group are fine, Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself:

   "What does the illusion just now represent?"

   "That should be a scene from the old world." Bai Chen said thoughtfully, "That'higher unintentional' has something to do with Jiang Xiaoyue, a popular idol?"

"Did you also see the news on the computer?" Jiang Baimian asked rhetorically, "But that'higher unintentional man' is 80 or 90 years old? It's not like...well, there is no precedent to show that. The'higher unintentional people' can live longer, at best they can live longer than ordinary'intentional people', uh, except for Xiao Chong."

  After human beings become "unintentional", life expectancy has undoubtedly dropped drastically due to changes in the living environment, physical condition and other aspects.

After Jiang Baimian described what he saw, Shang Jianyao nodded and said:

   "He may be Jiang Xiaoyue's son."

   "..." Jiang Baimian asked, "Then what does he insist on entering Tarnan?"

  "This is Jiang Xiaoyue's hometown, where he grew up." Shang Jianyao suddenly sighed.

"...I almost believed it~www.ltnovel.com~Jiang Baimian said funnyly, "You are inspired by the examples of murlocs, mountain monsters, and the'unintentional' in the ruins of Marsh No. 1 ? "

   "It's not impossible." Long Yuehong supports Shang Jian Yao this time.

   Jiang Baimian shook his head:

   "But it's so coincidental, it's impossible that most of the things we encounter are based on the same reason, right?"

Without sufficient clues, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen could not answer this question.

  After intense discussion, the “old-tune group” finally decided to report the incident to see what the major sects and “machine heaven” thought.

  Maybe Zhou Yue of Nan Keguan can analyze something.

  After a long time, the sky gradually brightened, and the morning came.

  After more than ten minutes, a member of the Robot Guard and two humans brought a number of auxiliary robots from Tarnan to prepare for the handover.

  When they were approaching, Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao:

   "Up."
