Embers Ad Infinitum

Vol 2 Chapter 17: then

Jiang Baimian was quite curious about what happened to the person in room "506".

In her opinion, the relationship between the other party and the Fourth Research Institute is like the relationship between the "old tune group" and "Pangu creatures", and she can't imagine that she and others will be separated from "Panga creatures" because of some things, and they will be killed by their family members. , relatives, neighbors, and familiar employees are unanimously disgusted, hated, and indifferent.

Jiang Baimian couldn't help but wonder if the owner of the "506" room had made a mistake that year, which led to the disaster of the Fourth Research Institute.

Only then can the situation in that psychological shadow be explained.

Of course, this is just a guess based on what Shang Jianyao has been exposed to and the details he has learned. Once there are clues pointing to other possibilities, it must be overturned.

And this guess itself has certain problems:

The two psychological shadows in the "506" room currently under the control of "Pangu Creatures" and the third place entered by Shang Jianyao do not involve emotional scenes such as "guilt", "shame" and "guilt".

Jiang Baimian does not believe that a person who never forgets the attitude change of "people from hometown" and regards this as a painful memory will accept the big mistake he has made with peace of mind.

Even if you deceive yourself instinctively and hypnotize yourself, there will be a certain reflection in your subconscious. .

Unless, he really didn't think it was a mistake, and in retrospect he still insisted that he had taken the most correct way to deal with it, but he couldn't understand why his family, relatives, friends, and neighbors viewed and treated him that way.

From this perspective, Jiang Baimian had to think that perhaps the problem lies with the Fourth Research Institute.

Combined with the distorted corpse that Shang Jianyao saw in the first psychological shadow, she felt that this speculation was reasonable.

Phew... Jiang Baimian sighed, took back his thoughts, and planned to ask Shang Jianyao tomorrow if he had passed through the psychological shadow in room "506" and how he passed through.

At this time, the broadcast in the corridor outside rang:

"Hello everyone, I'm Hou Yi, the news announcer on the hour, it's 8:00 p.m...."

…………

"Hello everyone, I'm Hou Yi, the news announcer on the hour, it's 8:00 p.m...."

Long Yuehong sat beside the bed in Bai Chen's room, listening to her familiar, slightly childish voice echoing, she couldn't help laughing:

"I heard that Houyi is actually one of the special cases of failed genetic improvement. She is less than 1.6 meters tall, but she has a cheerful personality and a good voice. Welcome announcer."

"Then she's not very old, no more than thirty." Bai Chen nodded, "I thought she was the announcer you heard from when you were a child, and she was already forty or fifty years old."

"How can you still have such a voice when you are in your 40s or 50s?" Long Yuehong replied amusingly.

Then, he refuted himself:

"Not necessarily, Hou Yi is now twenty-seven or eight, and his voice has not changed much."

"Some people are born with a childish voice, and it will not change until they are over sixty years old." Bai Chen had met similar people before.

It was in the first city.

After chatting for a while, Long Yuehong got up and said:

"I have to go back."

He got a promotion and an award today, and he can't wait to share it with his family.

He is now a d8-level employee. Once he is transferred to the internal staff and leaves the security department, he can be directly promoted to d9.

This is the highest status an ordinary employee can aspire to.

As for management positions, you can find them but you can't.

In addition, Long Yuehong chose to go back today because she and Bai Chen have not registered yet, and it is not good to always stay here.

"I'll take you off." Bai Chen followed and stood up.

Long Yuehong felt warm in her heart and did not refuse.

After leaving the room, Long Yuehong still took Bai Chen's hand and walked slowly towards the elevator.

Bai Chen was silent for a while, then asked:

"What should I pay attention to when I go to your house?"

Long Yuehong thought about it seriously and said:

"There's nothing to pay attention to, as the team leader said, just be normal and be polite."

Frankly speaking, he has no experience and can only trust Jiang Baimian.

As for Jiang Baimian's lack of corresponding experience, Long Yuehong didn't care too much, because Jiang Baimian told him and Bai Chen that she could be affirmed by visiting other people's houses since she was a child. The child next door boasted.

At that time, the honest Shang Jianyao whispered:

"It may not be because you are polite and know how to watch your words, but because your father is the management."

Jiang Baimian used practice to tell Long Yuehong and Bai Chen what would happen if they were rude and didn't know how to watch their words.

"Well." Bai Chen recalled the core words taught by the team leader - listen more and talk less, praise more and complain less, laugh more and move less.

It was a rare chance to comfort his girlfriend. Long Yuehong was about to say a few more words when she suddenly saw a person walking towards her.

The man had dark skin, a pitted face, bloodshot eyes, and a medium-to-low appearance. At first glance, he had not undergone genetic modification.

Long Yuehong knew this person. It was a foreign employee he met when he used the public toilet on this floor in the middle of the night.

The other party in the gray-green camouflage uniform hurriedly passed them by.

Bai Chen glanced sideways at Long Yuehong:

"You seem to know him?"

"Hey, when I played a prank, I went to the public toilet and met him smoking in it." Long Yuehong said truthfully.

Bai Chen said "um":

"His name is Wang Xi, and he only joined the company last year.

"I heard that he has a bad temper and often quarrels with people. If the company has an orderly inspection room, they might fight."

"Really? He has a good temper." Long Yuehong said that in the brief contact between him and Wang Xi, the other party was very polite, although he was too hasty at the time, which caused the scene to be embarrassing, and Wang Xi was a little embarrassed and angry, but There was no exit to hurt anyone.

Bai Chen glanced at Long Yuehong's mechanical arm and said:

"It is impossible for the former wilderness wanderer to be always irritable, and such a person will not live to this age."

She paused and recalled something:

"He seems to go to the public toilet in the middle of the night, and several neighbors have encountered him."

"It's normal, let's get used to it." Long Yuehong said indifferently.

At this point, the two had come to the elevator. He waved goodbye reluctantly and pressed the button representing the 495th floor.

Before returning home, Long Yuehong went to the material supply market and bought some fruits and snacks.

"Wow, there's something delicious again!" As soon as Long Aihong saw her brother walk into the house, she ran over and took the bag in his hand.

Gu Hong complained with a smile on her face:

"Why did you buy these again?

"I just finished eating the previous one!"

Long Yuehong took this opportunity to say:

"The rewards for our mission have been distributed, with 30,000 contribution points."

"Another 30,000!" Although Long Aihong was used to the fact that her brother could get a big reward every time he came back, he couldn't hide his joy.

Long Dayong was relieved and a little sighed.

The smile on Gu Hong's face became wider, and she asked in a low voice:

"Any promotion?"

Long Aihong immediately pricked up her ears.

"D8." Long Yuehong is more and more able to speak out about her promotion more and more calmly.

He no longer needs Shang Jianyao to help with publicity.

"Ah, God bless you." Gu Hong folded her hands and shook it casually.

Long Aihong said expectantly:

"Brother, your d9 will definitely not be a problem, if one day you can enter the management, I will be able to be assigned a good job in the future!

"My classmates envy me to death, many of them want to be my sister-in-law!"

"What are you thinking? You want to implicate your brother, it's a big no-no to meddle in work assignments!" Gu Hong scolded her daughter, "Everything I know is done like this: don't care when assigning work, wait a year or two. , find an excuse to reassign."

"There's nothing wrong with these eight characters." Long Dayong whispered, and then said to Long Yuehong, "Look at them, hey..."

Long Yuehong smiled and did not speak.

Just be happy.

Anyway, I never thought I could become a manager.

…………

The next morning, on the 647th floor, in Room 14.

Shang Jianyao gave a detailed account of the "sadness" and "heartbroken" he encountered in the family area of ​​the Fourth Research Institute.

He said doubtfully:

"Where is the problem? Why did I let everyone treat me with the attitude at the beginning, and I myself believe that this is true, but I still can't get past it?"

Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen all fell silent, looking for possible reasons.

One by one guesses were put forward, and they were rejected one after another.

Suddenly, Jiang Baimian had a flash of light and remembered something Shang Jianyao had mentioned before:

"Last time you seemed to have said that after the explosion, when those people looked at you, their expressions were cold and the muscles on their faces were stiff, like corpses without emotion."

"Yes." Shang Jianyao nodded.

Jiang Baimian thought thoughtfully:

"Maybe, those people did become corpses.

"After the accident in the family area of ​​the Fourth Research Institute, those people may have all died. What the owner of the room can't get out of his mind is their attitude towards themselves before they died, and they know that this can never be changed.

"So, it became his psychological shadow, and no matter how much you change the attitude of those people, he subconsciously knows it's fake."

"It's possible." Shang Jian Yao raised his chin, "How did the owner of the room defeat the corresponding island and reconcile with him?"

Jiang Baimian thought about it and said:

"It might have to do with why those people changed their attitude towards the owner of the room.

"To figure this out is the basis for reconciliation with yourself."

Then ~www.readwn.com~ Jiang Baimian talked about his speculation last night - the owner of the room made a certain mistake, or discovered some secret, which led to the destruction of the Fourth Research Institute, and the people there unanimously changed. attitude towards him.

Long Yuehong's heart palpitated when she heard:

"I really can't imagine who would betray where they were born and raised."

This is the same as he can't imagine that he is free from "Pangu creatures".

He felt that if something similar happened to him, he would probably commit suicide.

When Shang Jianyao heard the words, he suddenly sang:

"Live like this for thirty years, until the building collapses..." (Note 1)

Jiang Bai gave this guy a blank look, and was about to say something when the phone in the office rang.

Su Yu received Shang Jianyao's report and agreed to his request to meet.
