Embers Ad Infinitum - Vol 2.4 Chapter 9

In the courtyard of the courtyard, there are water tanks and green plants, and the air is fresh and slightly humid, making Shang Jianyao seem to have come to the wilderness suburbs from super-large settlements such as the original city.

“Hey, at this time, I should lie on the roof of the jeep, watching the stars, and being scolded by Dabai would crush the solar charging panel. Xiaohong and Xiaobai didn’t help me, they only knew that they were there to kiss me and let me. Lao Ge is in charge of patrolling alone…” Shang Jianyao muttered to himself while examining the situation of the patio.

This is one of the daily routines of the “Old Tune Group”.

The courtyard of the courtyard looked nothing out of the ordinary. Shang Jianyao even poked his head into the water tank, but he didn’t find any clues.

“Bah, bah, there’s really water!” He suddenly straightened up and pulled his head out of the water tank.

After wiping his face, he walked towards the door of the main room.

The gray wooden door was left open and not locked.

Dong Dong Dong, Shang Jianyao, who came in over the wall, knocked politely, but did not push the door in immediately.

After knocking like this three times in a row, he said with relief:

“Since you don’t respond, then I’ll take it as your acquiescence!”

He no longer waited, stretched out his right palm, and pushed open the door of the main room.

The inside of the door seems to be a living room, and the layout is so old that Shang Jian Yao couldn’t help but sigh:

“A living zombie!”

After he finished speaking, he took two steps back, returned to the door, looked up, and said in a murmur:

“It’s not a cultural relic protection unit either…”

It was a word he learned from old world entertainment sources.

The situation in the living room is indeed quite old. There is a table facing the door, with a mahogany Taishi chair on the left and right, and two rows of antique chairs are placed in the first room mixed with wooden tables.

“Could it be that this is part of the film and television base?” Shang Jianyao suddenly became interested.

While praising the “New World” sparrow is small and complete, he walked around the living room, looking for the source of those slight movements before.

No fear at all!

After a while, Shang Jianyao slammed into the Taishi chair on the left, looked at the two lanterns lit by himself at the door, and muttered to himself in disappointment:

“No problem…

Before he finished speaking, his voice stopped abruptly.

He turned his head slightly, listening intently.

In the left wing, there was a low-pitched cry.

woo, woo, woo…

Shang Jianyao stood up silently, and crept close to the place where the sound came from.

As soon as he came to the door, the lights inside turned on in a flash.

The two lanterns outside went out.

“Hey!” Shang Jianyao sighed.

Inside the door is a light representing his consciousness.

He no longer hides his figure, twists the handle, and opens the door in front of him.

The layout of the wing room is fairly normal, with two bookcases, a table by the window, a bed opposite, a chair and a stool placed casually on the open space.

The style of these furniture is also more suitable for the courtyard, but the shape is not old.

Shang Jianyao swept around, and his eyes stayed on the table in front of the window.

There is a picture frame there.

Shang Jianyao walked over, and with the help of the light, he could clearly see the details of the photos in the frame.

Above is a fairly young woman, not very pretty, but with a sweet smile, casually tied in a braid.

Shang Jianyao looked at it for a while, then suddenly clenched his right fist and left palm and said:

“I remember, we knew this woman!

“That genius scientist Lin Sui!”

Back then, Shang Jianyao had seen an interview with Lin Sui in the shadow of the ruins of Tieshan City in room “522”.

“She also has a room here.” Shang Jianyao “suddenly realized”, “But why is there no light and no one, and you haven’t come back after going out?

Where did the crying and other movements come from? ”

After asking two questions, they fell into silence.

After a few seconds, Shang Jianyao began to rummage through boxes, looking for clues.

Gradually, he walked to the bookcase.

Shang Jianyao glanced at it and found that there were various kinds of books in it, and many of them were very professional.

He couldn’t help but raised his right hand and blocked it in front of his face, as if he was afraid of being blinded by the light of knowledge.

After browsing the title of the book, he silently turned to the bed, not even interested in opening it.

Jiang Baimian sneaked into the night based on his previous sensing, and moved closer to the place where some “unintentional people” lived.

This inevitably went in circles, but the general direction was right and it turned out to be no problem.

Finally, she arrived at her destination, hiding in the shadows outside the window, peeping at the situation inside the building.

A man and a woman, two “unintentional” people, were lying on the bed, as fast as normal humans, and they couldn’t see anything wrong.

Jiang Baimian withdrew his gaze and dived to another place.

After such rounds of reconnaissance, she found that the “unintentional people” she could sense all maintained human habits, sleeping on the bed, closing the window and locking the door.

In some houses, bags of rice, flour and boxes of cans, biscuits, and energy bars are piled up in a mess.

This made Jiang Baimian suspect that the Eighth Research Institute installed the rails in the tunnel to deliver supplies to the “unintentional” people in this small city.

She was not in a hurry to name and remove these “unintentional ones”, because nine out of ten targets were still missing.

With this in mind, Jiang Baimian decided to break away from the “new world” of reality and inform Shang Jianyao of the various abnormalities he found.

Maybe this can promote the other party’s exploration in the spiritual “new world”, and the harvest there may help Jiang Baimian solve some real mysteries.

Of course, the premise is that the two places are closely related.

Relying on the military exoskeleton device, Jiang Baimian stayed away from the place where the “unintentional” lived.

Then, she unsurprisingly confirmed that she was lost again.

She, who has rich experience, climbed up a telephone pole, stood at the top, and looked around.

With the help of starlight and night vision, Jiang Baimian quickly identified the direction to the tunnel entrance and exit.

“You have to go around two streets, go through several intersections, and turn many corners…” The more Jiang Baimian evaluated the route back, the more he felt heavy.

She can already foresee that she will get lost many times.

In the midst of his thoughts, Jiang Baimian, who has become a good doctor after a long illness, has a countermeasure.

She intends to walk in a straight line.

When you encounter a wall, turn over the wall, and when you encounter a house, go to the house!

This can effectively avoid mistakes in selection, plus the positioning function of the equipment, Jiang Baimian feels that he gets lost at most once.

After confirming the plan, she immediately took action, slipped quietly from the telephone pole to the ground, and cautiously ran to the first house.

She stretched out her right hand suddenly and pressed it against the wall, intending to use her strength to jump directly to the roof of this low-rise building.

But to Jiang Baimian’s surprise, the wall on which her right palm was pressing was actually weak and empty, as if there was none!

This made it impossible for her to pull back her body, whose center of gravity had already changed, and she involuntarily fell forward and hit the wall.

She penetrated directly and turned into a rolling gourd.

Jiang Baimian, who had undergone genetic modification and wore a military exoskeleton device, quickly stopped the uncontrollable tumbling, and the carp stood up straight.

She turned around and looked at the wall with a surprised and suspicious expression.

Thinking that this is a real “new world” and the electromagnetic environment is quite chaotic, Jiang Baimian couldn’t help but have a guess:

“The towers and houses that I and I saw are not what this small city really looks like. Everything here has been distorted, forming a large illusion, where the real and the fake are intertwined?”

In order to confirm, Jiang Baimian walked back to the wall just now and gently stretched out his right palm.

Her right palm penetrated the stone wall smeared with white ash like air.

Jiang Baimian moved forward step by step, the whole person also wore it out, and returned to the place where he just fell. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

“There is a broken mirror in charge of hallucinations in Zhisui, and it is normal for the new world to have such strangeness,” Jiang Baimian muttered silently.

She thought for a while, then stretched out her right hand to the wall again.

This time, she wanted to slow down and experience the feeling of penetrating the fake wall.

Silently, Jiang Baimian’s palm pressed against the wall surface, but did not go any further.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to, it’s that she can’t.

That wall is hard and cold, how can there be any false appearance!

Jiang Baimian, who was walking in a straight line, returned to the tunnel after a while, and once again closed the heavy iron-black front door.

She skillfully sat cross-legged next to Shang Jianyao’s body, stretched out her spirit, and touched the other’s consciousness.

After the scene with no new ideas, Shang Jianyao waved at Jiang Baimian:

“I have something to tell you!”

“Just so, I have it too.” Jiang Baimian’s heavy heart was relieved.

Then, she exhorted:

“When it comes to the rules and secrets of the new world, try to use code words. If you can’t use it, you can use another way of saying it and use other things as a metaphor.”

“It has nothing to do with the secrets of the new world, I entered Lin Sui’s house.” Shang Jianyao rambled about his experience on this side,

“But nothing of value was found, nor the source of the strange movement.”

Jiang Baimian thought about it and said:

“Tell me which books are in Lin Sui’s room.”

Shang Jianyao showed an embarrassed expression:

“Can’t remember.

“Uh, I’m trying to visualize it, see for yourself.”

Because it was a communication at the level of consciousness, he walked directly back to the room with the bookcase, and watched Jiang Baimian appear “in front of him”.

Jiang Baimian scanned it and said thoughtfully:

“Lin Sui is also very interested in research related to human consciousness…”
