Embers Ad Infinitum

This... Jiang Baimian restrained his smile and asked the question just now:

"Tell me, why did the 'Higher Unintentional' have to enter Tarnan?"

Long Yuehong replied subconsciously:

"For hunting..."

Before he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong:

There are obviously "prey" in the mountains, such as Bai Xiao's team just now, but the "high-level unintentional one" did not attack them. Instead, he ran for a long time to Tarnan to kill people.

Even if he felt that the prey here was weaker and less vigilant, making it a better feeding place, he shouldn't have attacked again so soon after he had already eaten enough last night and was scared off.

You must know that the other name of "Wuxin disease" is "atavism disease", which means that human beings degenerate, lose their reason and thoughts, and become beast-like creatures.

But even a beast, after being frightened in a certain place and discovering the most terrifying thing, will inevitably stay away from there in a short period of time. Unless it is hungry to a certain extent and there is no other food, it will take the risk again.

This is true for all animals, let alone patients with "unintentional diseases"?

"This is unreasonable..." Bai Chen said the second half of the sentence for Long Yuehong.

Shang Jianyao made a thoughtful expression:

"Maybe he thinks the human flesh here tastes better...

“Choose adventure for good food.”

Is this using oneself to save others? Jiang Baimian muttered, turned back to look at the small town of Tarnan, and said thoughtfully:

"Is there something here that attracts him?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that what she meant was very similar to what Shang Jianyao had just said, and she quickly added:

“Something other than food.”

"What else would the 'Higher Unintentional' pursue?" Long Yuehong asked to herself in confusion.

"Seeking a mate." Shang Jianyao gave the answer.

Then, he explained seriously:

"In Tarnan, there was an old lady who was his former sweetheart and his companion who had experienced life and death together.

"Even if he suffers from an 'innocent disease' and forgets everything, he still remembers to find her, protect her, and keep her from being harmed forever."

I was actually a little touched when I heard it... Long Yuehong thought about it along with Shang Jianyao's thoughts, and found that this was actually a touching and touching story.

And the most important thing is that he couldn't find the original version and couldn't remember which radio story was like this.

This shows that Shang Jianyao has developed from "well-read" to weaving his own stories.

"It's quite reasonable..." Jiang Baimian imagined the situation described by Shang Jianyao, and found it poignant and touching.

If the "Higher Heartless One" hadn't regarded humans as prey and chewed them to pieces, then the imagination would have been even better.

Bai Chen pursed his lips and said nothing.

Without giving Shang Jianyao a chance to continue, Jiang Baimian continued:

"It's a possibility, and there's something else that's attracting him."

After a few seconds of silence, Jiang Baimian picked up the phone and dialed a number:

"Hello, Master Zhou?"

Zhou Yue's voice rang on the other end of the phone:

"Haha, I recognized you this time. You are Xue Shiyue, from Qian Bai's team!"

Her tone was filled with triumph.

"There should be a note about my name in your address book..." Jiang Baimian replied with a slight movement of the corner of his mouth.

Zhou Yue coughed:

"Everything is a fantasy, why take it seriously?"

Without giving Jiang Baimian a chance to continue this topic, she asked:

"Is there a problem?"

"It's like this..." Jiang Baimian gave a rough description of the situation of Bai Xiao and Lin Tong's team, "They are heading towards you now."

"Okay, I will carefully distinguish between true and false." Zhou Yue responded affirmatively.

Jiang Baimian turned to ask:

"Monster Zhou, why is that 'Higher Heartless' holding on to Tarnan? This is not the only human settlement in the Chilar Mountains."

Zhou Yue was silent for a moment and said:

"You might have to ask him about that."

Guanzhu Zhou, maybe you and Shang Jianyao have something in common... Seeing that he couldn't get any answers, Jiang Baimian hung up the phone after a few polite words.

…………

North-eastern intersection of Tarnan.

Zhou Yue was wearing a white robe and tied with a hemp rope. She was sitting cross-legged on the futon, looking at Chilar Mountain.

A Bagua mirror hung on her waist, a dressing mirror was tied to her forehead, and a non-intelligent combat robot stood on each side.

Unlike the airtight fortifications of the "Old Tune Group", Zhou Yue made almost no arrangements and just erected a wooden sign behind him with a dragon symbol inlaid with broken lenses.

This is the holy symbol of "Broken Mirror".

"It's strange, why did he have to go to Tarnan..." After putting down the phone, Zhou Yue muttered to herself in confusion.

…………

Tarnan, northwest, on the banks of the River Morville.

Jiang Baimian glanced at the sun that was slowly setting, and said to Shang Jianyao and others:

"Eat something now and take turns."

Long Yuehong said "hmm":

"I'll take the trumpet first."

After saying that, he took a plastic bottle that he had prepared in advance, walked a few steps, and using the cover of the front of the jeep, he opened his crotch and solved his personal problem.

This was a plan they had discussed in advance. The purpose was not to go too far, lest they be affected by hallucinations, misjudge the direction and distance, step on landmines, or fall into traps.

As for the question of being embarrassed, the importance is ranked very low.

Of course, in order to prevent the smell of the duty area from becoming unpleasant, the "old tune team" collected a batch of plastic bottles from various stalls and the Robot Guard warehouse.

Amidst the clattering sound, Long Yuehong narrowed her eyes in comfort.

Suddenly, he found Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and Bai Chen all looking at him strangely.

This... Long Yuehong was a little confused.

Wait, didn’t I go to the front of the car? In an instant, Long Yuehong came to her senses and quickly lowered her head to look at her crotch.

It was already wet there.

And the plastic bottle in his hand hasn't even unscrewed the cap.

The series of actions he just made were just an illusion!

It was like being completely relaxed after successfully searching for the toilet in a dream.

At this moment, Long Yuehong didn't know what expression to use in response.

"It's quite insulting." Jiang Baimian commented on the impact of this hallucination.

This also indirectly comforted Long Yuehong.

Shang Jianyao calmed down his expression and said seriously to Long Yuehong:

"An identity verification is required.

"When was the last time you peed your pants?"

"Get out!" Long Yuehong became angry with embarrassment.

"The correct reaction." Shang Jianyao didn't feel like he was being scolded at all.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen raising their hands and aiming their guns at him.

Their expressions were like seeing a monster, a "Heartless".

Shang Jianyao moved his hands slightly, then kept them in the same position, as if what was going on in front of him was just a drama.

boom! boom! boom!

Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen fired shots respectively.

Shang Jianyao stood there, motionless, as if he was testing his courage with someone.

Almost at the same time, he felt severe pain, and his whole body curled up involuntarily.

In just one or two seconds, Shang Jianyao gradually lost consciousness due to the unbearable pain and the rapid passage of life, and his vision went dark.

In the dark silence, the various arguments slowly reverberated, getting louder and louder:

"Fake!"

"It must be fake."

"Don't try to scare me!"

"I think we should be more cautious, collect more clues first, and then draw conclusions when we have enough evidence."

"Why are you arguing? Let's discuss it rationally."

"Say please."

…

Amid the arguments, a hole slowly opened in the darkness, and brilliant light shone in.

Shang Jian opened his eyes sharply and saw Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen looking at him with concern.

"What happened to you just now?" Jiang Baimian asked solemnly.

She just saw Shang Jianyao's whole body twitching, his bioelectrical signals were also disrupted, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"I was almost killed by the hallucination." Shang Jianyao said first seriously and then nostalgically, "I kind of miss the nightmare horse. Its 'real dream' is more profound than the death hallucination just now."

"What's going on?" Long Yuehong had some vague guesses.

Shang Jianyao described his "experience" just now and finally said:

"Probably because he hasn't really died yet, so he can't simulate the most realistic feeling."

"Can this be the same?" Jiang Baimian breathed out, "'Real Dreams' are directly related to your consciousness, and the impact must be greater. Well, no matter what, this use of illusion is different from 'Real Dreams' Dreams are indeed similar in approach and effect, and they are also very similar to the fear in the realm of Ghost Girl. You have to be careful and don't be scared to death."

Long Yuehong felt uneasy and uneasy again.

This is the most powerful enemy he has faced so far.

"We can't keep passively enduring this." He exhaled and expressed his thoughts.

"Yeah." Jiang Baimian nodded, looked at Shang Jianyao and said, "Plan No. 5."

"Okay." Shang Jianyao picked up the loudspeaker placed on the roof of the jeep.

At this time, he sniffed and said to Long Yuehong:

"It turns out that you peed and it wasn't a hallucination."

"...Get out!" Long Yuehong responded angrily, and his fear was reduced a lot.

Shang Jianyao smiled, raised the loudspeaker, and pointed it at the road leading to the Chilar Mountains.

This is one of their plans:

Use the loudspeaker to amplify the distance of the "reasoning clown" and influence the enemy remotely like Red Stone Ji Tan Jie.

Although the "Higher Heartless One" is closer to a beast and may not understand human speech, and the "reasoning clown" seems to be ineffective, Jiang Baimian thought of the questions and answers of the "Bai Xiao Team" in the fantasy world, and felt that the enemy To a certain extent, or deep down in the subconscious, there is still a side of human wisdom that can try to exert a similar influence.

Therefore, after watching the real Bai Xiao team leave, she discussed with Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen for a while and came up with such a plan.

As for whether it would have any effect in the end, she couldn't be sure.

Huh, I hope this guy can find some words that are "easy to understand" and even "high-level unintentional people" can accept... While Jiang Baimian was looking forward to it, he was also helping Shang Jianyao think of "words".

At this time, Shang Jianyao used a loudspeaker to make a sound in the distance:

"Ouch!"
