Embers Ad Infinitum

Vol 2 Chapter 11: dangerous area

"Grandma, thank you." Shang Jianyao waved his hand and said goodbye to the old lady who was enjoying the shade under the tree.

He skillfully switched identities, greeted people of different ages and states, and chatted about various things to figure out where this place was.

In this way, he continued to chat until his mouth was dry and exhausted, and he roughly confirmed that he was currently in the family area of ​​the Fourth Research Institute.

This research institute is located in the depths of the uninhabited wasteland, and the main body is underground, similar to the "Pangu creatures".

After the destruction of the old world, because their affiliated farms and pastures were not affected, they survived tenaciously until the 21st year of the new calendar.

Yes, in the memory of the owner of the room, now is the 21st year of the new calendar.

The people Shang Jianyao meets in this psychological shadow seem to be smart, can chat, and have their own memories, but they are not as good as those passengers in the shadow of the cruise ship, because once his thinking jumps, the topic will be pulled far away. The people here are not only unable to answer, but also babble nonsense.

Based on this, Shang Jianyao judged that the reason why they were able to ask and answer questions and chat in a normal manner was because the owner of the room had been with them for a long time, and they had various conversations from time to time, involving many things. .

After these memories are subconsciously mobilized, the corresponding characters appear quite real.

"I still haven't encountered any danger. It's like going home at ease." The honest Shang Jianyao did not hide his doubts.

The calm and rational Shang Jianyao thought about it and said:

"Perhaps the point of this psychological shadow is not the courage to face danger, and naturally there is no danger on the surface."

The current psychological shadow does not exist in the guide given by "Pangu Creatures". After all, in order not to affect the owner of the "506" room, this is a place for the awakened people who have entered the corridor to adapt to the exploration. Rules", at most two psychological shadows will be evacuated, and Shang Jianyao suspected that he skipped the second psychological shadow because he did not take the usual path in the first psychological shadow.

"Then what should we do?" The reckless Shang Jianyao blurted out, "We've all talked for a while, except for some information, we don't have any clues."

He was referring to the clues that passed through this psychological shadow.

Zen Master Purdue is quite calm about this:

"If you can't find it.

"It's a big deal to change to a separate room with a strategy."

During the discussion, Shang Jianyao did not forget to observe the surroundings.

Combining some details he noticed in his previous chat, he gradually discovered an abnormality:

No one in this family area has ever approached the exit gate!

No matter how complex and varied their trajectories were, they did not involve that area.

"Is the psychological shadow of the owner of the room at the exit, so that everyone here 'subconsciously' avoids it, or is there a rule that the family area of ​​the Fourth Research Institute can't approach that area?" Raise your chin.

He didn't wait for other colleagues to join the discussion, and suddenly handed over his body to the reckless one.

The reckless Shang Jianyao immediately turned around and walked towards the door at the exit.

Other Shang Jianyao gave it a try to see if it could inspire beneficial changes, and chose to default one after another. Only the vicious and vicious one controlled his mouth and kept babbling:

"Don't have the daring mentality of a master artist!

"Don't think that all the psychological shadows involving Zhi Sui have come over, how could such a simple room capsize in the gutter.

"This is related to the Nine Great Research Institutes of the Old World, it is better to be cautious!"

In the long-winded, Shang Jianyao slowly approached the gate area.

Calm.

He turned back and looked at the people in the family area, and found that no one paid attention to him.

Shang Jianyao kept his current posture unchanged, and moved step by step towards the iron fence gate with a sentry in a backward manner.

All of a sudden, those who were in the family area, enjoying the shade, busy or communicating, turned their attention at the same time.

The white-haired old lady sitting on the bench under the tree then showed a horrified expression.

Others were flustered, nervous, and angry, as if Shang Jianyao had offended them, while others were full of hatred and hatred, and seemed to say with their eyes, "Why do you dare to do what we dare not do?"

Boom!

There was an explosion in the gate area, and a flame rose with smoke and dust, turning into a huge mushroom.

Shang Jianyao rushed out ahead of time and "embodied" a military exoskeleton device on his body.

With the help of this thing, he jumped dozens of meters without being enveloped by the explosion, but his back was still hit by the air waves.

Slap, even with a military exoskeleton device, Shang Jianyao couldn't maintain his balance and fell into a daze, feeling that his bones were broken.

At the same time, the expressions of those in the family area have changed again.

Their expressions were indifferent, the muscles on their faces were stiff, and there was no emotion in their eyes. They seemed to have died a long time ago, but they all stared at the intruders who were trying to break the stable life of themselves and others.

When Shang Jianyao saw this, he immediately shouted:

"Don't move!"

Where his voice reached, everyone stopped moving, as if they were playing the game of one, two, three wooden men.

Dengdengdeng, Shang Jianyao, who was wearing a military exoskeleton device, ran wildly, and sometimes jumped like a thorn on his back.

Finally, he ran to the building where he first appeared.

With one step, he left room "506" and rushed to the corridor, then lay on the surface of the dark yellow thick carpet without image, spread out his limbs and gasped for breath.

After a while, the honest Shang Jian Yao pooh pooh twice:

"Don't talk about martial arts!

"Why not warn first, then shoot, and then bomb?

"How could a normal person bury that kind of mines at the door? There are people in charge of guards there!"

The sinister Shang Jianyao sneered:

"It's a psychological shadow, and it's not strictly against reality.

"As long as the owner of the room has encountered, or even just seen, the corresponding things may be piled up in the same place.

"I told you, be careful, you don't believe me!"

"Namo Amu Tara Samyak Sambodhi was only injured by the blast, and his spirit was a little traumatized. It's not a big problem." Chan Master Pudu replied calmly.

The calm and rational Shang Jianyao said thoughtfully:

"I suspect it's not just the gate area that's the problem, anyone who tries to leave that family area will encounter all kinds of dangers.

"This is a reflection of the corresponding fear of the room owner."

"So, if you face these dangers directly, you can overcome the psychological shadow?" The reckless Shang Jianyao manipulated his body and stood up on the ground, with a look of "go back now, and get bombed a few more times".

He was forcibly restrained.

The calm and rational Shang Jian Yao rubbed his chin:

"I always thought it wasn't that simple.

"The fear corresponding to each psychological shadow is different. It is simply to avoid danger and escape from a certain place, which has been experienced before.

"I think it's more secure to explore and explore more to clarify this problem."

"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao, who has no opinion, agreed.

The vicious and vicious Shang Jianyao sided with the colleague he hated the most this time.

Since everyone was bombed and injured, and their spirits needed to recover, the Shang Jian Yaos withdrew from the "Spiritual Corridor" and fell asleep.

…………

Floor 349, Block C, No. 12.

Because his parents went to a colleague's house as a guest, Jiang Baimian stayed leisurely in the study by himself, browsing some public news using his father Jiang Wenfeng's account.

When she didn't find anything interesting, she took out the pattern on the multi-child and multi-sun talisman that she copied, opened the old world folklore database she had established, and tried to search and compare.

To this end, she also used a drawing board to outline the corresponding patterns according to the gourd.

"It's not exactly the same." Jiang Baimian was busy for a while, looking at the computer screen, and muttering to himself, "It can only be said that it looks more similar, but it doesn't follow the corresponding rules. Of course, it may also be that my database is not perfect. , because of many omissions.”

After pondering for a while, Jiang Baimian disassembled the pattern.

After dismantling and reorganizing again and again, she frowned slightly.

From the simplest point of view, the pattern is composed of a woman and a baby, both of which have a bit of hieroglyphic meaning, but Jiang Baimian is sure that it is not a real hieroglyph.

"A woman, a baby, it means enough, but it doesn't seem to be careful enough, it's too simple..." Jiang Baimian shook his head and planned to hear the results of Long Yuehong's inquiry tomorrow.

…………

The next morning, 647th floor, room 14.

Long Yuehong explained the information and corresponding feedback from her grandmother exactly.

"Is it my turn to appear next?" Shang Jianyao was very excited although his face was a little pale.

"It should be, it is." Long Yuehong hesitated a little.

Let this guy test, will it make the problem bigger?

He's got that kind of quality!

"Yes." Bai Chen answered very firmly.

Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao:

"What's wrong with you, didn't sleep well last night?"

"Something went wrong when I broke into the psychological shadow of room '506'. Fortunately, the headache recovered after two or three days, and it did not affect the ability to use it normally." Shang Jianyao is quite honest.

Jiang Baimian made a "heh":

"It's recognized as the simplest room '506', can you play a fool?"

"The more tossing, the better to get more information~www.readwn.com~ The calm and rational Shang Jianyao skillfully changed the subject," I have confirmed that the owner of room '506' is from the Fourth Research Institute. "

Jiang Baimian suddenly became interested:

"Yes?"

After discussing this issue for a while, Jiang Baimian thought about it and said:

"I suspect that the key to this psychological shadow is not breaking out, but something else.

"It doesn't appear to be dominated by danger, it probably represents a different kind of fear."

Shang Jianyao nodded happily:

"I think so too!"

Papapa, he applauded for himself and Jiang Baimian.

After a busy day, the four members of the "Old Tune Group" got together again when they were about to get off work, and discussed the matter of Shang Jianyao's request for more children and more grandchildren.
