Embers Ad Infinitum

Vol 2 Chapter 26: "Back" to the starting point

Fall in love with you reading book net, long night after fire

   The semi-mechanical monk Shang Jianyao put his red eyes to the corner of the employee introduction column and carefully observed it.

   Soon, he found that there were traces of pasting, distributed in five places,

   And these five places combined are about the size of the next photo.

   In other words, there used to be a photo at the corner of the employee's introduction column, but I don't know if it was torn off, or after so many years, the glue gradually failed, causing it to fall off and drift away.

   Shang Jian Yao stood up straight, took a flashlight, and shone on the floor of the room. He looked for it for a while, but he never found the missing picture.

   Combined with the characteristics of the traces, he preliminarily judged that the photos in the blank areas were forcibly torn off.

   "Why did you take it away? It has something to do with the gaze in the dark?" Shang Jian Yao looked around and felt that it was not caused by the "unintentional".

   Not to mention whether the "unintentional" would be interested in things other than food, clothes, and weapons. Given their lack of wisdom, there shouldn't be any clues left.

"No, this possibility cannot be ruled out." Shang Jian Yao rubbed his chin and refuted himself, "Do you still remember the situation after the relics of Marsh No. 1 were turned on? That old lady has obviously become an'unintentional', remember to reply. At home, look through your own photo album, tidy up the room, and clean up the garbage. This is one of the five holy places of Buddhism. It's normal to have similar special features."

Air-to-air is unable to draw effective conclusions. Shang Jian Yao did not waste too much time on this matter, shining the torch light on the few "unintentional people" who had limited limbs and made it difficult to roll. .

   He scanned their faces one by one and compared them with the employee photos on the wall, but none of them matched.

   This shows that the existence of that "professional woman" is not a universal phenomenon, but a special situation.

   This makes her problems and missing photos even more confusing.

   The semi-mechanical monk Shang Jian Yao thought about it, compassionately, gave up killing the "unintentional", took the flashlight and the "ice moss" with the silencer, and walked back to the aisle.

   He was about to observe the surroundings and decide where to go next. His body suddenly became cold and stiff.

   It was like a cold wind coming from the depths of the ice sheet, freezing him in place at once.

   It is not only his body that freezes, but also his thoughts!

   Shang Jian Yao looked forward blankly, letting his body turn half a circle, facing the wall.

   Then, he violently slammed his forehead.

  哐当!

   Shang Jian Yao lost consciousness and fainted.

   After an unknown period of time, he woke up slowly and found that he had returned to the entrance area of ​​this psychological shadow, where he used a billboard to kill a "unintentional".

   "BUG has occurred?" Shang Jianyao said he was puzzled.

   He thought that he had been attacked just now and he could hardly resist, and the consequences of this situation were nothing more than two:

  一, he "dead" here, which means that all his spirits are trapped in this psychological shadow. In reality, he has become a vegetative person or died on the spot;

  Second, the injury was not fatal enough, he barely recovered, relying on the props on his body and his own awakener ability, forcibly escaped from the "522" room, but left a serious mental problem.

   Of course, this is a normal development. Considering that he has ten, Shang Jian Yao believes that there is another result:

   One of Shang Jian Yao died on the spot, creating opportunities for the remaining nine Shang Jian Yao. After that, they sacrificed a few, and the rest finally escaped from room "522" and returned to the corridor. This will create an indelible psychological shadow for him in reality, with sequelae that are almost incurable.

   And now, neither situation is true. After seeing that the Yaos went into a coma, they returned to the entrance area of ​​room "522" peacefully. Except for the head pain, the forehead was red and swollen, nothing special.

   Shang Jian Yao rubbed his chin immediately:

   "This thing is obviously weird. If you go beyond this today, I will discuss it with Da Bai tomorrow."

   Calmly and rationally, he thinks that what happened just now seems to be more like...

  A kind of warning?

  ……

   495th floor, C area, No. 11.

   In the dead of night, Long Yuehong opened his eyes and couldn't fall asleep.

   lay down for a long time, until he was a little thirsty, he turned over and got out of bed, picked up his enamel cup, lifted the lid, and began to drink.

   The cold feeling filled his throat, turned into lines, and penetrated into his stomach pocket.

   This made him more sober.

—The night of "Pangu Biology" is very cold, and the water will inevitably lose its temperature after being left for a long time. Therefore, the vacuum flask is an indispensable part of many families. Drinking with a thermos bottle is also an option, but when Long Yuehong was still half-year-old and full of blood, she developed the habit of drinking cold and boiled water, and it was the same at night.

   Seeing that there is no more water in the cup, Long Yuehong walked out of the room holding the enamel cup, aiming at the green plastic thermos bottle on the dinner table.

   Just then, he saw his father Long Dayong coming out of the small bathroom at home.

   "Not asleep yet?" Long Dayong yawned.

  Long Yuehong gave a "um", hesitated for a moment and said:

   "Thinking about something."

   "What's the matter?" Long Dayong asked.

   Long Yuehong opened her mouth, and replied hesitantly:

   "Dad, if you encounter something, it is very valuable, but there are also certain risks. Do you choose to do it or give up and live a stable life?"

   Long Dayong instinctively replied:

   "I listen to your mother."

   "..." Long Yuehong didn't know whether to envy or was speechless.

   Seeing that his son did not speak, Long Dayong thought for a while and said:

   "Our family's life can be considered stable now.

"But I remember your grandfather told me that when he was a child, even if he hid in this underground building, he didn't feel safe, because there may be'unintentional people' around him anytime and anywhere, and ten friends about his age. Only half survived inside.

"Also, after you joined the Ministry of Security, your mother specifically went to meet the women who had people in the front-line troops at home, and inquired about a lot of things from them. Well, the death toll of the front-line troops was more'unintentional' than those in the company. A lot of people.

   "She has never mentioned these to you. I am afraid that you are nervous and afraid that you are worried about our bad emotions. What we can do is to let you relax every time you come back and be happy every day."

   Speaking of this, Long Dayong said with feelings:

   "We are able to have a stable life now, and we really have to thank you and the other employees of the frontline troops for their sacrifices."

  Long Yuehong heard mixed feelings, but couldn't help but vomit in her heart:

   Dad, you babble, good for a while, bad for a while, I can't tell what your suggestion is...

   Long Dayong glanced at him:

   "Anyway, whatever you decide, your family will support you.

   "Well... if the risk is particularly high, it is better to give up. If you feel that you can bear it, then give it a try and don't leave any regrets for yourself."

  Long Yuehong was silent for a while and said:

   "I will consider it carefully."

  ……

   The next morning, 647 floor, room 14

   Shang Jianyao told Jiang Baimian who had arrived at the office early about his experience last night.

   "What are your thoughts?" Jiang Baimian did not immediately help with the analysis, but instead asked about Shang Jian Yao's feelings.

   Shang Jian Yao thought about it for a while and said:

   "It feels like a plot kill, with no resistance at all."

   Have you played too many games? Long Yuehong scoffed at Shang Jianyao's words.

   Of course, he dare not say it.

   Jiang Baimian nodded lightly, thinking while saying:

  "Will the room owner also encountered a similar incident?

"Otherwise, your experience will not be so clear, and if he hasn't encountered anything in the food company, the psychological shadow caused by a large number of "unintentional people" should have ended with him entering the "safe zone". ."

"The owner of the room went to the third floor and scared the woman away. After seeing those photos, she suddenly frozen her mind and couldn't control her body. He hit the wall with his head and stunned himself?" Long Yuehong joined the discussion, according to Jiang. Bai Mian's statement is speculative.

   Shang Jian Yao followed this line of thought and thought:

   "What happened after the room owner fainted?

   "I was also'sent' back to the original place?"

   Jiang Baimian shook his head slowly:

   "It should not be."

   Seeing Long Yuehong wondering why he said this, Jiang Baimian further explained:

  "Shang Jianyao explored that psychological shadow for several days, only to find a complete route.

"In other words, if the owner of the room is'sent' back to the starting point, he will still choose the same path, the path to the second food company, and this is logically very contradictory. Instead, it's you. After such a weird and terrifying thing, would he still go to the Second Food Company for a trip to the muddy water? He was not an Awakener at that time!"

   "Indeed." Long Yuehong agreed.

   Shang Jian Yao didn't answer, and now he doesn't know who it is.

   Jiang Baimian continued:

"I guess that after the owner of the room was in a coma, he was'sent' to another place in the ruins of Tieshan City. When he woke up, he found a safe escape route, so he left that area, and this encounter became his Psychological shadows.

   "Because these subsequent situations are not in that psychological shadow, Shang Jian Yao is back to the starting point."

   Long Yuehong nodded first, thinking that this might not be low, then frowned.

   He glanced at Shang Jian Yao:

   "Doesn't this mean that the psychological shadow can't be overcome at all?"

   The owner of the room had nothing to do. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

   Shang Jian Yao did not respond, as if thinking deeply, Jiang Baimian laughed:

  "No, no, it's still possible.

   "Did you forget that the owner of the room was not an awakened person?

   "He will go to Fear Island in the future, and he will inevitably face this matter, and he is now an awakened person at the level of the'Spirit Corridor', which shows that he has successfully overcome this psychological shadow."

  Long Yuehong thought turned around, Jiang Baimian pointed out the key:

   "Then how did he defeat it?

   "For such a thing, if you don't go back to the scene and face the original fear, you will definitely be unable to overcome it.

"So, he should have entered the Second Food Company of Tieshan City again. Hey, if you can find an area that he did not touch during the first exploration, it is likely to squeeze his subconscious and let it take the second experience. Call it out to perfect the scene, and most of it contains opportunities."

   Very complicated... But, it does make sense... Long Yue is convinced by the red heart.

   "Try it next time." Shang Jianyao was eager to try.

   Jiang Baimian then smiled:

  "This is just one possibility.

"Another possibility is that the psychological shadow is dynamic. Some things are connected to something more terrifying. When the explorer touches it in time, it will cause extra trouble. This is something the owner of the room did not encounter at the beginning. No, It's not that he hasn't encountered it, it's likely that he didn't notice it.

   "But this can't explain how he subsequently grew into the awakened person of the ‘corridor of soul’."
