Embers Ad Infinitum

Vol 2 Chapter 12: unmanned

Led by the reckless Shang Jianyao, several people entered the "Sea of Origins" and flew straight to the gap in the sky that represented Xiaochong.

Because of their increased independence and autonomy, they no longer distinguish who is the wing and who is the main body, or stepping on the cloud or fighting the wind, and using all the means learned in the old world entertainment materials.

Of course, this is mainly for self-entertainment. They have already passed the gate of the "New World" and they don't need these in their "Sea of Origin" at all, and they can go wherever they want.

In the blink of an eye, several businessmen floated in the air, surrounding the gap.

They tried their best to look and found that there was still a faint light flickering inside, and there were many dark shadows, no different from before.

"How come there is no change?" The reckless Shang Jianyao was very disappointed.

He got a little closer, and the whole person squeezed into the gap, and almost went straight through.

The next second, he shouted in surprise:

"Come and listen! Listen! There are voices!"

The rest of Shang Jianyao immediately moved closer and blocked the entrance and exit of the gap.

They immediately heard rustling voices coming from inside.

This is very low and very vague, and the businessmen can't hear what they are talking about at all, and can only barely distinguish between their different sources, as if there are a dozen or twenty people discussing and exchanging a topic.

"I can't hear you clearly!" The reckless Shang Jianyao tried to pass through the gap to the other side to shorten the distance with the speakers.

But his "body" didn't obey his commands.

His legs were tightly held by the rest of Shang Jianyao, and it was difficult to break free.

"The opportunity cannot be lost, it will never come again!" the reckless Shang Jianyao shouted.

No one answered him.

"The more dangerous you are, the more you have to take risks!" The reckless Shang Jianyao's tone was full of hatred for not turning iron into steel.

It's a pity that the rest of Shang Jianyao made concerted efforts this time to drag him away from the gap.

After some disputes and consultations, they reached a consensus that they should not rush into Xiaochong's spiritual world.

After all, this person is likely to be the childhood body of "Zhuang Sheng", and his spiritual world is equal to the spiritual world of "Zhuang Sheng".

The Eighth Research Institute, at the end of the tunnel, behind the gate.

Sitting against the wall, Jiang Baimian pulled out a candy, peeled off the paper, and stuffed it into his mouth.

The sweetness slowly overflowed and reverberated in her mouth, calming her emotions to some extent.

Another she said was true.

Everyone has a selfish side, and saving all of humanity is too ethereal for her to resonate too strongly with her.

Although in Wubei, when she saw Commissioner Huang and the others shouting "for the sake of all mankind", she was moved to death generously, but with the passage of time, she asked herself that if she were asked to do such a thing, she might not be able to do it.

If the danger points to herself, to her family and friends, Jiang Baimian believes that she has the courage and confidence to face the danger head-on, but for those irrelevant people who can't even establish a specific image in her mind, she is unavoidable. There will be thoughts of "nothing at all" and "what is necessary".

Jiang Baimian is still willing to help when she is capable enough to encounter ordinary people being violated, but the problem is that this is based on the fact that she has seen those tragedies and those human beings.

In comparison, the goal of "for all mankind" is really too grand, so grand and abstract.

On the contrary, in escaping reality and only protecting his family and friends, Jiang Baimian has different feelings from the other self.

Among the ordinary employees of the company, there are many people she has met, chatted with, and had contact with. Thinking of these people who have no friendship but familiar faces, I don’t know when they will become Zhi Sui and “New World” powerhouses. Food, without warning, lost her mind and became a "mindless person", and she had a strong sense of intolerance and compassion.

As the old saying goes, when you see his life, he can't bear to see his death; when he hears his voice, he can't bear to eat his meat, so the gentleman is far away from the kitchen.

This is the case for animals, let alone those of the same kind that are often encountered?

Jiang Baimian was holding candy, and all kinds of thoughts rose and fell in his mind, and it was difficult to stop.

There is no difference between day and night in the "new world", and Shang Jianyao can only rely on Jiang Baimian to communicate with himself three times in the morning, noon and night to know which node he is currently at.

As for the watch and the alarm clock, it is quite simple for him to realize it, but the problem is that this is the product of his mental structure, and there is no corresponding mechanical or electronic structure. That is to say, the time presented above is what Shang Jianyao thinks. at that time, it has no effect on helping him time.

If Shang Jian Yaoshe had to come up with a "timekeeper" who was in charge of the watch and counted every second, it would still be possible to determine the time, but it would be a waste of energy.

"I actually waited all night!" Shang Jianyao looked out the window and saw that the fluorescent lamp was still on on the top floor of the target building.

He rubbed his face and praised himself:

"Yes, not sleepy at all!"

He then said:

"But waiting like this is not an option."

The reckless Shang Jian Yao immediately proposed:

"Why don't you come and visit?

"As a newcomer here, it's a normal thing to visit neighbors, and it shouldn't attract hostility."

"What if it's a hungry, grumpy guy?" the honest Shang Jianyao asked rhetorically.

Seeking novelty, Shang Jianyao said with a smile:

"Let's go step by step, knock on the door first, and prepare for battle. Even if we are attacked at such a distance, the possibility of us escaping is still relatively high.

"After that, according to the attitude of the room owner, decide whether to go in to visit, speak at the door, or leave immediately."

The businessmen chatted with each other for a while, and with the opposition of the two most wise members, the proposal was passed by one vote.

He immediately left the current apartment and walked on the dark street. In the light of the street lamps, he came to the gray-blue classical building.

Ding dong, ding dong!

Shang Jianyao rang the doorbell.

No one responded to him.

"I can't sense that there is human consciousness on the top floor..." He rubbed his chin and said, "What's the point of hiding like this?"

Hiding one's consciousness when the light is on is like taking off your pants and farting.

Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong!

The reckless Shang Jian Yao kept ringing the doorbell.

The sound reverberated layer by layer, but it didn't cause any ripples.

"Is there anyone? Is there anyone?" The reckless Shang Jianyao banged on the door.

The fluorescent lamp on the top floor was still quiet, as if it were just an illusion.

It was too late, but it was too soon, the reckless Shang Jianyao grabbed the wooden door handle and twisted it hard.

Before everyone could react, the door opened!

The first floor was ruled by darkness, and nothing unusual could be seen.

"I'm in? I'm in?" Shang Jianyao, who was full of justice, reminded politely.

No one in the house answered yes or no.

After another round of discussions, the reckless Shang Jianyao won the majority of votes, forcing the calm and rational Shang Jianyao and the vicious and vicious Shang Jianyao to enter the house with himself and others, and go straight to the fourth floor.

This made the reckless Shang Jianyao, who used to be unhappy before, sincerely sigh:

"Who said entering the new world's price would be heavier?

"It's obviously getting better!"

Other businessmen chose to remain silent.

He walked up the stairs, all the way up, and in less than two minutes he arrived at the door of the lit room.

The room is completely open, and inside is a small reception room, with brown floors, crystal fluorescent lamps hanging down, a coffee table, a set of sofas and a few chairs, among other things~www.readwn. com~ empty.

"No one?" Shang Jianyao looked at the door several times.

When the lights were on, there was no one in the room!

Considering that others may be "invisible", the reckless Shang Jianyao walked through the door step by step, and a long broom appeared on the side, poking in the east and swaying in the west, in order to force out the possibility of hiding in the air by actual contact. room owner.

At the same time, he listened carefully to the movement around him.

After some confirmation, Shang Jianyao became more and more puzzled.

He said to himself in shock:

"Really no one!"

Except that his entry made the lights brighter again, nothing changed here.

As soon as Shang Jianyao finished speaking, he suddenly heard a creaking voice.

The open room automatically closed without wind, trying to close it!

"Don't!" Shang Jianyao shouted and rushed to the door.

At the same time as he fluttered, he interfered with matter, turning the air into a big hand, pressing against the door to fight.

But the power of closing the door is enormous, and at the current level of Shang Jian Yao, it is difficult to stop it "out of thin air".

bang!

The door was closed.
