Embers Ad Infinitum - Vol 2.4 Chapter 5

A figure appeared at the door. It was a man of medium height, wearing a black trench coat, brown hair and green eyes, rough skin, and appeared to be in his thirties.

He looked like an ordinary Honghe native, but his eyes were squinted so much that he seemed to have severe myopia and forgot to wear glasses.

As soon as this person entered, the chandelier in the bar was much brighter, and then he saw Shang Jianyao.

After being stunned for a while, he made a low voice:

“Who are you?”

As the sound reverberated, the air in the bar froze, and there were faint sparks of electric sparks.

Shang Jianyao did not show weakness, his eyes gradually lit up, getting brighter and brighter, and finally turned into two **** of lightning.

This kind of operation made the person who just came in obviously stunned, and instinctively turned his head to the side, not to look at this guy.

Jacob finally came to his senses and said weakly:

“He has no ill will.”

The one who likes to squint his eyes nodded.

The solidified air then returned to normal, flowing freely, and the flickering sparks disappeared.

Jacob turned to Shang Jianyao and said:

My old customer, Hendrick. ”

Shang Jianyao said “oh”, put away the electric eye, and introduced himself:

“My Red River name is Doug.”

Hendrick ignored him, walked to the bar, pulled out a high stool, and sat on it.

“A lemon margarita.” He squinted, looking at Jacob.

Jacob began to mix drinks skillfully.

Shang Jianyao didn’t feel Hendrick’s rejection at all, and asked casually:

“Are you a regular customer here?

“Does this mean that you have no physical body?”

With a swipe of the ground, Hendrick turned his head sideways and looked at this guy, his narrowed green eyes flashing dangerously.

Shang Jianyao said with relief:

“Relax, it’s just normal reasoning, just like you can reason that I’m a rookie who just entered the new world.”

Such frankness left Hendrick at a loss as to how to respond.

Seeing this, Shang Jianyao asked with perseverance:

“Why did you lose your body? You died of natural old age, or were you deceived and gave up on your own initiative?”

Hendrick’s forehead twitched visibly.

At this time, Jacob helped him to answer:

“Hendrick was the unfortunate one.

“He didn’t give up his body and entered the new world. It’s not even twenty years since he became a pure spiritual life.”

“Disaster?” Shang Jianyao has always been professional in his support.

Perhaps knowing that Jacob was not in good health and was weak, Hendrick did not let him do it again, he said:

“A major earthquake scattered my subjects and buried my body in the rubble.”

“It’s really unfortunate.” Shang Jianyao felt the same way.

This is a natural disaster, and no one can do anything about it.

Jacob put the turquoise lemon margarita in front of Hendrick and sighed:

“Had Hendrick been in the dirt, the problem would have been less serious, and the ability to interfere with matter should have saved his life if the building collapsed.”

“This is fate.” Hendrick and Shang Jianyao said in unison.

The two looked at each other immediately, the former was slightly surprised, while the latter looked surprised, as if he had found a half-brother.

“I have a question.” Shang Jianyao said with concern, “What do you pay for when you drink? With the number of residents in New World, there shouldn’t be a mature currency system, right?”

Jacob sighed and said:

“I don’t need to pay for drinking here, but the amount of human consciousness that I get each time is limited and I have to moderate it, and not every time.”

Slap clap, Shang Jianyao applauded.

He praised in an aria:

“You have a lofty sentiment that benefits others but not yourself.”

Jacob smiled:

“I’m also good. If I encounter an attack, Hendrick and the others will definitely help me without hesitation. Otherwise, they will lose a stable source of human consciousness.”

Shang Jianyao gave an “oh” and said honestly:

“Discussing this topic always makes me feel like we’re demons trading human souls.”

“That’s right in a sense.” Jacob didn’t hide anything.

Hendrick squinted his eyes, took a sip of the lemon margarita, and said expressionlessly:

“We are devils, obeying order and rules, and some are devils, unscrupulous.”

Shang Jianyao’s thinking has jumped to another place:

“Is New World’ chaotic, with frequent attacks?”

Hendrick looked at the cocktail in front of him and said in a deep voice:

“Unless there’s a massive unrest, the executives won’t care what we’re doing.

“It’s like a sanctuary of consciousness, where chaos and disorder are the main themes.”

Jacob went on to say:

“Only by finding suitable companions and uniting, can we obtain a stable life, otherwise, we may be defeated and imprisoned by others and become a battery for anything and everything.”

When he said this, he glanced at Shang Jianyao, as if evaluating whether this guy was suitable for joining his team.

“Battery?” Shang Jianyao applauded again, “This description is very accurate!”

He laughed for a few seconds, then suddenly became indignant:

‘The rumors about the New World’ on the ashes are false!

“To say that the earth here is fertile, the sun is bright, that children are happy, adults are happy, that there is no desolation, monsters, infections, distortions and all kinds of dangerous things, are all false!”

In fact, every antiquarian, relic hunter and historical researcher who has not yet entered the “Spiritual Corridor” believes that the new world is illusory.

It doesn’t exist at all, it’s just a good expectation of people.

“I suspect that the rumors of the New World were spread by the old people, so that every Awakened who can enter the “Spiritual Corridor” will come here as the goal of life.” Hendrick’s expression was not very good.

He gulps down the lemon margarita, as if to forget the pain of the past.

“Then he was exiled and imprisoned.” Shang Jianyao cooperated to help him finish the rest of the words.

Having said that, he said “ah”:

“Almost forgot to ask something.

“How do I go back to the ashes? I remember a lot of New World’s people going back once in a while.”

Hendrick’s face grew gloomy,

He kept his mouth shut and didn’t answer.

Jacob glanced at him and said slowly:

“While your body is still there, you can get a projection of the gate and return for a short time by praying to a certain age.”

“Short time?” Shang Jianyao asked.

Jacob nodded and explained weakly:

“It’s a complete return in essence, but the old man who answers your prayers will stamp your mind, and if you don’t come back after the time limit you apply for, you will be forcibly dragged into a new world.” food.”

“Then who should I pray to?” Shang Jianyao showed an embarrassed expression.

There are too many choices on the Zhutian Zhisui Blessing Map!

Jacob is quite candid:

“I personally use the power of ‘Bodhi’, who is the most merciful and merciful.”

“Oh.” Shang Jianyao suddenly thought, “Can you apply for return for five days each time, once a week?”

Hendrick was almost amused, he took another sip of the lemon Margarita and said:

“The premise for the executives to respond to you is that your application has sufficient reasons.”

“I thought there was a bug that could be exploited.” Shang Jianyao sighed, making no secret of it.

Without waiting for Jacob and Hendrick to respond, he asked thoughtfully:

“Besides the missing Cass, who else has entered that tower and came out alive?”

Jacob had said before that he didn’t know~www.mtlnovel.com~ but Hendrick showed a hesitant expression.

After a few seconds, he stared blankly at Shang Jianyao and said:

“I’ve heard those who live near the tower have been in there, and many times.”

“You mean?” Jacob seemed to remember something.

Hendrick nodded:

“Vice Dean’, Charlie’, Professor Li’, ‘Doctor’ and them.”

“Old friends!” Shang Jianyao rubbed his palms excitedly, “I’ll visit them later.”

“They’re not friendly,” Jacob reminded.

“Then make them friendly.” Shang Jianyao was full of confidence.

Jacob and Hendrick looked at each other and chose silence at the same time.

Shang Jianyao did not give them a chance to enjoy the quiet, and instead asked:

“Do you know Wu Meng?”

“This man…” Jacob hesitated.

“What happened to him?” Shang Jianyao asked.

After Hendrick finished drinking the lemon margarita, he closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a few seconds:

“He’s dangerous, more dangerous than normal New World’ inhabitants like us.”

“I wonder if he found out the secrets of the old men, although he probably never entered the tower,” Jacob added.

Shang Jianyao said “oh”:

“What about the truth, have you heard of it?”

The expressions of Jacob and Hendrick changed at the same time.
