Embers Ad Infinitum

Vol 2 Chapter 16: sad

Looking at the intimidating residents in the family area of ​​the Fourth Research Institute, whose expressions were stiff and indifferent, Shang Jianyao stepped forward and walked over.

Behind him, thick smoke spewed and red flowed, and the entire gate area became an extremely active crater, but it did not affect the grass and trees in the family area at all.

The two seem to be in different worlds.

The first target that Shang Jianyao chose was a white-haired old lady who had chatted before and sat under a tree to enjoy the shade.

He had just approached, and before he had time to speak, the old lady stood up with a look of indifference mixed with a bit of disgust, and took two steps back.

boom!

A penetrating wound suddenly appeared on Shang Jianyao's chest!

This came from the shooting, but he didn't notice where the shots were being fired. The "integrated early warning system" of the military exoskeleton device did not respond. The bullets seemed to come out of nowhere, and came from the rules.

Shang Jianyao slowly lowered his head and looked at his chest.

There was bright red overflowing, the flesh was blurred, and the heart could be vaguely seen beating. .

This kind of shooting made Shang Jianyao feel the severe pain from the heart, but miraculously, the injury was serious, but not fatal.

"Doesn't make sense? I'm wearing a military exoskeleton device with bulletproof armor on my chest. How could I be penetrated by a single shot? Even a Gauss rifle, it's not so easy!" The honest Shang Jianyao whispered.

He rubbed his chin immediately:

"Is this the so-called 'sad' blow?"

Shang Jianyao, who was seeking novelty and wonder, popped his head out from the side, and suddenly realized:

"Because we are playing the role of the owner of the room and are disgusted by the old lady in front of us, as if after seeing an unwelcome stranger, the corresponding memory is mobilized, and the hidden psychological shadows emerge, so the emotion of sadness materializes as The thing about being shot in the heart, and the emotional trauma is something that military exoskeletons can’t stop, and there’s no warning, and when it happens, there’s an immediate response.”

Here is the psychological shadow. Many things cannot be logically followed, and the expressions of many things are more symbolic.

The sinister and vicious Shang Jianyao sneered:

"The psychological quality of the room owner is too fragile, right?

"So heartbroken?"

He opened another mouth on his forehead.

Honest Shang Jian Yao can't grab the dominance of the body, and can only respond from the other shoulder:

"Otherwise, how could it evolve into a psychological shadow?"

The calm and rational Shang Jianyao nodded thoughtfully:

"If this is the case, then Da Bai's speculation is correct. The essence of this psychological shadow is the painful memory of the owner of the room when he was abandoned, hated, and indifferent by all acquaintances and even some family members."

"Confirm again. I feel that we can still bear two or three more 'sad' blows." Shang Jianyao, who was seeking novelty and curiosity, eagerly looked at the middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

The rest of Shang Jianyao withdrew their bodies, so as not to scare the target and affect the effect of the experiment.

Shang Jianyao, who was seeking novelty and curiosity, then walked towards the middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

He pushed up the mask and smiled.

The cold and emotionless face of the middle-aged man suddenly distorted, and he shouted hysterically:

"Go away!"

With a stab, Shang Jianyao's abdomen, which was protected by the military exoskeleton device, including the armor and the flesh, were all cut open, and the **** intestines poured out, and some of them were broken.

Chan Master Purdue replaced Shang Jianyao, who was seeking novelty and wonder, and sighed:

"Namo Amu Tara Samak Sambodhi, this is 'broken heart'."

"Aha, I have no complaints if my heart is broken..." Shang Jianyao, who was seeking new and strange love to sing and dance, regained his dominance.

The vicious but cowardly and timid Shang Jianyao finally couldn't bear it anymore, and again made a mouth on his forehead, urging:

"You don't treat the wound, don't it hurt?"

"Sad" and "Broken Heart" are top pains.

"Then leave it to you!" Shang Jianyao, who was seeking novelty and curiosity, immediately gave up his body.

After the wound was healed, Shang Jianyao rubbed his chin, "talking to himself" and said:

"It is now almost certain that the nature of this psychological shadow is the painful recollection of the room owner's abandonment.

"But facing the pain seems to be full of danger. If you do this twice, it is equivalent to 'sadness' and 'broken heart', and we will most likely die here."

Reality becomes vegetative.

"Try another way first." The cowardly and timid Shang Jianyao didn't want to suffer another "sad" or "broken heart".

"Yeah, yeah." The sympathetic businessman Jianyao immediately agreed.

A businessman who attaches great importance to feelings but is still a child of mental age is more afraid of pain, and feels that he cannot face pain recklessly.

After some exchanges, they suppressed the "I don't go to **** who will go to hell" Zen Master Purdue and reckless Shang Jianyao, and decided to find another way of thinking.

The joking Shang Jianyao said with a smile:

"Since the psychological shadow of the owner of the room is that he was abandoned, hated, and indifferent to the people here, then can't we let him be accepted again?

"This is our forte!"

"Try it." The calm and rational Shang Jianyao agreed with this plan.

They joined together, and with the aid of the loudspeaker attached to the military exoskeleton device, they shouted to the middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and the other hundred or so people not far away:

"Everyone has been together for so many years, and why do you have a little feeling? I know that you have difficulties. I don't blame you. I can accept it. I hope you can also abandon those bad memories and go back to the beginning..."

He uses "mind implantation" directly.

In order to make the "thinking implantation" have enough effect, he played the emotional card that everyone has known for so long.

A smile gradually appeared on the faces of the middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and the hundred or so people nearby.

Shang Jianyao hurriedly said the same words to another hundred or so people, lest they destroy the effect of "thinking implantation".

- He can only affect so many people at a time, has to repeat his work, and must always be careful not to arouse suspicion.

In the real world, when other people see a 180-degree turn in the attitudes of colleagues and neighbors, they may think that Shang Jianyao's emotional card has played a role at first, but after two or three times, they will definitely notice it. This is abnormal, and it will try to wake up the affected people, so that Shang Jianyao's "thinking implantation" will fail.

But this is a psychological shadow. The owner of the room may have never had similar interactions with the people here, and he should also lack the corresponding experience. Therefore, Shang Jianyao can be watched by hundreds of thousands of people, again and again. The group "persuaded" without backlash, and it was as smooth as a speech.

Finally, Shang Jianyao completed the "thinking implantation" of all human consciousness in the family area of ​​the Fourth Research Institute.

He saw everyone's smiling faces again, felt the cordial attitude of most of them, and received warm hospitality.

Everything went back to before the change.

However, this psychological shadow has not collapsed, and the problem has not been substantively resolved.

"Could it be that the room owner's subconscious can still tell that this understanding and acceptance is false, and he doesn't want to believe it?" Shang Jianyao rubbed his chin and said silently to himself.

Suddenly, his heart moved, and he repeated a sentence:

"I don't want to believe...

"In the psychological shadow, I am playing the role of the owner of the room, and I clearly know that the kindness and enthusiasm in front of me are false and brought about by 'thinking implantation'...

"I don't believe it, and the owner of the room naturally won't believe it either."

"It turns out that the fish that slipped through the net was me!" The honest Shang Jianyao said with his right fist and left palm.

In order not to let any Shang Jianyao be missed, they did not adopt the method of Shang Jianyao implanting thinking in Shang Jianyao, but returned to the original stage, using the mask of the military exoskeleton device as a mirror to convince themselves:

"Look at:

"Here, it's like going back to the company;

"Everyone laughed sincerely and spoke nicely;

"so……"

At the same time, the businessmen suddenly realized:

"Isn't this home?"

He chatted with people everywhere, and slowly organized a group of people to dance and a group of people to sing, dutifully playing the role of the director of the activity center.

A cheerful atmosphere gradually enveloped the family area of ​​the Fourth Research Institute.

…………

Tarnan, "Dream" hotel.

Aino, the proprietress, is sitting at the front desk, resting her chin in one hand, watching an old world drama with little concentration.

Suddenly, she shuddered.

Just now, she recalled some memories buried deep in her heart in a trance, and remembered the faces that were once kind and kind but now cold and stiff.

When she crossed the island of fear, she was actually relieved, but after the occasional corresponding picture flashed in her mind, she still felt a burst of grief in her heart.

Unlike usual, the fragment that flashed in her mind just now was:

Everyone suddenly smiled to themselves again, singing and dancing, very enthusiastic!

"This is even more terrifying, okay..." Aino whispered to himself.

She said this because she knew very well:

Those in the family area were already dead at the time.

The dead do not change their expressions and smile.

Based on this, Aino suspects that someone has broken into his spiritual room and is exploring the corresponding shadow.

Her expression changed for a while, she shrank her body, and muttered:

"Watching the drama and watching the drama, when he finishes exploring, he will leave by himself."

The price she paid was "escapism".

…………

It was not until his spirit was nearly exhausted that he had to withdraw from the "506" room~www.readwn.com~ Shang Jianyao got rid of the effect of "thinking implantation" and retrieved the corresponding judgment.

He rubbed his chin and said doubtfully to himself:

"I can't even make myself believe it...

"what should I do now?"

At this time, at No. 12, Area C, Floor 349, Jiang Baimian was also thinking about the psychological shadow of room "506".

While letting her thoughts unfold without bounds, some questions suddenly flashed in her mind:

"The owner of room '506' should be a resident of the family area of ​​the Fourth Research Institute, or have lived there for a long time, and is familiar with almost everyone and has certain feelings.

"Then why was he unanimously abandoned by those in the family area of ​​the Fourth Research Institute, and why was he treated with indifference and hatred?

"What did he do, what did he get into?

"Or, discovered a secret that shouldn't have been discovered?"
