Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 7: Respective reactions

"Long Ye Yu Huo ( to find the latest chapter!

Shang Jianyao just heard the name Wang Yafei this morning.

When he attended the gathering of the "Life Sacrifice" cult, some members mentioned this person and said that he supported the establishment of a "fertility center" so that the children would come from artificial wombs.

The member also said that because she was always arguing with Wang Yafei about this matter, he was deliberately suppressed by him as the supervisor, found an excuse, and moved to the most difficult cleaning post.

At that time, the "leader" Ren Jie responded:

"God will punish sinners."

Less than four hours after this sentence, Wang Yafei died suddenly due to a cardiac arrest at work.

If he hadn't heard the relevant words in advance, Shang Jianyao would definitely not think that there was any problem with such a news-in the "Pangu Biology", people die of sudden illness every year, which is a normal phenomenon.

If Wang Yafei's death was two or three years later, Shang Jianyao would not think that there was too much abnormality, and would definitely classify this as a coincidence.

But now, the day when Ren Jie said "God will punish sinners", "sinner" Wang Yafei died of illness.

Shang Jian Yao stood up suddenly, took off the previously hung coat, and put it on his body.

He walked out quickly and went straight to the C area.

As he walked, his speed gradually slowed down and soon became the same as usual.

As he approached the "Activity Center", Shang Jianyao swept his eyes and saw Shen Du standing in the shadow of the side wall, immersed in dim colors.

He stood in a dazed manner. Although his eyes were looking forward, they had no focus at all, so that he didn't even notice Shang Jian Yao approaching.

"Uncle Shen." Shang Jian Yao shouted.

Shen Du shivered suddenly, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the source of the sound.

"Little businessman..." He managed to squeeze a smile.

Shang Jianyao said in a very calm tone:

"Wang Yafei is dead."

Shen Du's face was slightly pale, and the muscles on both sides of his mouth moved:

"I know."

His voice was very low, as if he was afraid of making noise that others could not see.

Shang Jian Yao looked at him and asked directly:

"This is God's punishment?"

Shen Du shook again, and his expression instantly became blank.

"I don't know..." His gaze crossed Shang Jianyao, his eyes seemed to lose focus again.

Shang Jian Yao was about to ask again, a five or six-year-old boy ran over, took Shen Du's hand down, and swayed:

"Dad, father, it's time to go home!"

"Yeah." Shen Du replied twice, turning his head to Shang Jian Yao, "I will go back first."

"Goodbye." Shang Jianyao waved politely.

Shen Du looked at his child again, gradually showing a soft smile on his face.

He took the child, met his wife who came out of the "Activity Center", and returned to Area B step by step.

Shang Jian Yao looked at his back without turning his head for a long time.

During several meetings of the "Life Sacrifice", he used his "talent" to establish a good relationship with many members, and listened to them share their reasons for joining the Order.

Among them, Shen Du is because there was a child who died, and he has been unable to let go. When they have the child they are now, they are more worried about the corresponding problems and afraid that they will not be able to raise them.

Ren Jie noticed his situation, deliberately made friends, and imparted a lot of parenting knowledge.

Later, the child Shen Du grew up slowly and became healthy. He became more and more convinced of the gods in Ren Jie's mouth, and eventually joined the "Life Sacrifice" group.

After another while, Shang Jianyao retracted his gaze and walked towards the gate of the "Activity Center".

At this time, because the broadcast program had begun, the pedestrians outside almost disappeared, only the voice of playing cards and chatting inside.

Of course, if you look around carefully, you can still find some pairs of figures in various dark places.

When Shang saw that Yao was about to pass the gate, he suddenly saw two familiar figures coming out.

The 27-year-old woman walking on the right was Jian Xin who complained about Wang Yafei at the "Life Sacrifice" meeting this morning.

She has good facial features and a pretty decent overall. She is a pretty good beauty.

——This benefits from the popularity of genetically modified drugs.

The other person is her husband Zhuo Zhengyuan, who is also a member of the "Life Sacrifice" Order.

At this moment, Jian Xin's face turned pale, as if she had a serious illness.

She looked quite nervous and seemed to be a little disturbed, she would be frightened.

Her husband Zhuo Zhengyuan's face was gloomy, giving people a feeling of staying away.

Shang Jian Yao took two steps and stood right in front of them.

Jian Xin and Zhuo Zhengyuan stopped at the same time, their bodies trembling slightly.

Shang Jian Yao suppressed his voice and said:

"Wang Yafei is dead."

Jian Xin, with short hair, said reflexively:

"Coincidence, it must be a coincidence..."

Her voice gradually became lower, and only the remaining voice echoed faintly, with inexplicable panic and daze.

Zhuo Zhengyuan swallowed his saliva and said in a deep voice:

"The preliminary autopsy results have come out. It is indeed a death caused by cardiac arrest without any external cause."

Shang Jianyao nodded:

"What a coincidence."

He immediately gave way and let Jian Xin and Zhuo Zhengyuan pass.

When the couple had separated some distance, Shang Jian Yao looked back.

Under the shining of the ceiling fluorescent lamp, the figures of Jian Xin and Zhuo Zhengyuan swayed slightly, showing a little weakness.

Shang Jianyao remembered that the reason they joined the "Life Sacrifice" Order was that Jian Xin had two miscarriages and finally got pregnant with a third child.

Today, their child has been born, not only is there nothing wrong, but also directly inherited most of the advantages of the previous generation of genetic improvement.

This allows him to obtain better talents in subsequent drug adjustments.

And aside from arguing about fertility with people, Jian Xin and Zhuo Zhengyuan are both very good people. They are caring and love children. When in parties, they always take the initiative to comfort other members. They don't pretend to be invisible when they meet people who need help.

Once, because Shang Jianyao's "too little portion" made Ren Jie a little unable to get off the stage, Zhuo Zhengyuan took the initiative to share the sacrament that he had not had time to finish.

Shang Jianyao slowly retracted his gaze and walked into the "Activity Center".

He glanced at it, and did not see Li Zhen and other members of the sect, only the "guide" Ren Jie was still in the old position, chatting with the group of women around forty years old.

With her hair crossed, Ren Jie seemed to notice his gaze, turned her head, and looked over.

After seeing her acquaintance, she smiled a little and nodded cordially.

Shang Jian Yao responded with the same gesture.

He didn't move closer, found a spot at random, looked at the people playing cards, and listened to the broadcast that would always be affected by various sounds here.

Time passed by one minute after another, and it was not far before the street lights went out and night came.

Ren Jie rolled her wrist and glanced at the old electronic watch, stood up, smiled and said to the women around:

"Go back, go back, someone is waiting for you!"

A group of people laughed and laughed, and Ren Jie left the "activity center" and walked in the direction of her home.

Shang Jianyao stood up and followed her as usual.

After turning into another street, Ren Jie saw that there was no one on the road, so he slowed down and let Shang Jian Yao draw closer and walk shoulder to shoulder with him.

"Xiao Shang, what's the matter?" Ren Jie asked in a lower voice and a chatty tone~www.ltnovel.com~ Shang Jianyao's eyes gradually darkened:

"Aunt Ren, look at:

"We live on the same floor;

"They are all members of the Order;

"and so……"

Ren Jie was a little at a loss at first, and gradually came to understand:

"So, we need to establish a closer relationship, such as..."

As she talked, her eyes gradually became strange, her face was a little red, and she didn't know which way she was thinking.

When Shang saw Yao's eyebrows moved, he immediately shouted:

"mom!"

Ren Jie was stunned for a moment, and her expression returned to normal.

She laughed and said:
