Embers Ad Infinitum

“The Ministry of Water Resources Protection will organize a series of ‘Water Saving Lectures’...

"At 6:20 this evening, a home invasion and murder occurred on the 568th floor. According to preliminary investigation, the cause was an explosion caused by the accumulation of various trivial conflicts in daily life..."

"..."

The slightly childlike voice echoed on every floor, allowing employees listening to the broadcast to understand the bigger things happening in the company today.

This is good and bad, but it doesn't prevent Shang Jianyao's room from becoming quieter.

After the hourly news, the radio station planned a retrospective program on today's home invasion and murder case, re-introducing all the vicious cases and corresponding verdicts after the "Pangu Creature" moved into the underground building, in order to warn employees. .

This program was still hosted by Hou Yi, and Shang Jianyao listened with great interest.

Some of those vicious cases are familiar to everyone, such as the 386th floor explosion.

At that time, it was still a chaotic era, and the shortage of materials in "Pangu Biology" was very serious, especially in terms of mineral resources. For this reason, the board of directors specially sent some teams to occupy some mines in the surrounding areas.

There is a D6-level middle-level person. After working in the mine for half a year, he returned home and found that his wife was having an affair with a neighbor. Not only was the neighbor a little higher in rank than him, but he also had certain connections in the management and was a relative of a certain family. .

The more the employee thought about it, the more angry he became. He thought that if the matter got too big, the couple would get divorced, and it would be difficult to cause any harm to the culprit, so he pretended not to know and returned to the mine.

Another six months later, when he returned home again, he knocked on his neighbor's door at night.

It was the male owner who opened the door. The employee didn't say much, just pulled up his clothes, revealing a circle of detonators wrapped around his waist.

Before the male owner could identify what it was, he was grabbed by the other party.

Then, the explosion occurred.

Naturally, both of them died without their bodies intact. The children on that floor were said to have picked up a few fingers when they were playing the next day.

The rooms and floors in that area were severely damaged. Fortunately, the explosion occurred at the door and had little impact on the bedrooms inside. Otherwise, the number of deaths would definitely be more than two.

Based on the possible harm of similar things to the structure of underground buildings, "Pangu Biology" began to pay attention to the inspection of access and the management of mines, which led to the subsequent series of rules and regulations. At the same time, the behavior of destroying the marriage of expatriate employees was banned. It was determined that it was illegal and corresponding documents were written.

After An Jing listened to this review program, Shang Jian Yao raised his hand to rub his temples while still not satisfied.

…………

In the room corresponding to the "Soul Corridor", his figure emerged.

This time, Shang Jianyao stopped looking for the "1215" house number and chose a new target far away from his room.

"522"

"5" represents the realm of the "Supervisor" who holds the power of May, and this person is the object of the "Natural Sect" belief.

Of course, "5" may also belong to the field of "Zhuang Sheng".

After a new round of voting, the business leaders determined the initial exploration goals.

So, they joined together and opened the door to room "522".

What caught Shang Jianyao's eyes was a ruin, the window glass was broken, the outer wall was immersed in the darkness of the night, and there were large blood stains in different places.

Shang Jianyao clearly walked into the room, but he seemed to come out of a certain building and was immediately on the street where cars were piled up in chaos.

He didn't move forward in a hurry. He stood in the middle of the street and observed the surrounding situation.

At this moment, the front door of a car nearby was suddenly pushed open, and a figure jumped out.

His hair was messy, his eyes were cloudy and bloodshot, and he looked like a "careless person".

Shang Jianyao was aware of it the moment the car door opened, but when he was about to get out of the way, he stopped forcibly, treating himself as a target.

The "unintentional one" jumped on him and bit his shoulder.

At the corresponding position, the flesh and blood became blurred.

"Ouch!" Shang Jianyao howled in pain, and then used his strength to throw the "unintentional person" away.

Without even looking at the dangerous creature, he divided them into ten and looked at each other.

Every Shang Jianyao has a hideous wound on his shoulder.

Shang Jianyao, who was wearing a deerstalker hat and holding a pipe in his mouth, nodded thoughtfully:

"The situation just now illustrates two things:

"First, this is the spiritual world, not the real reality. The induction of human consciousness depends on the state or cognition of the room owner at the time. It may or may not exist. You cannot rely on this in the future exploration process.

"Two, when exploring other people's spiritual world, it seems that not only the spirit will be harmed, but the body will also be harmed."

"How can there be a body now? This itself is a manifestation of the spirit." The honest Shang Jianyao immediately retorted.

At this time, the "unintentional one" pounced on him again.

But when he was in mid-air, a shaky billboard from a high place suddenly fell and hit him with the sound of wind.

Snapped!

The "unintentional person" who had difficulty changing direction was photographed on the ground by the billboard, with blood flowing from his head.

He twitched and struggled, and for a moment it seemed that he could not die, completely demonstrating the tenacity of the "unintentional man"'s vitality.

But he can't do anything anymore, at least not to interfere with the convening of the Shang Jian Yao Democratic Consultative Conference.

Shang Jianyao, who was wearing a deerstalker hat, took out the pipe from his mouth:

"What I mean is that I originally thought that attacks in the spiritual world, in addition to being manifested in the form of awakened people's abilities, would only have emotional effects, such as causing panic, fear, confusion and other reactions, forcing us to forcibly exit the 'spiritual corridor' ', leaving a bad mark, but now it seems that it can still be 'physically attacked' and can also cause damage."

The cowardly but absolutely smart Shang Jianyao agreed:

"This kind of 'physical attack' is actually a kind of mental attack in essence, but it has similar manifestations due to different environments."

"It looks like our shoulders are bleeding, but in fact we are mentally traumatized." Shang Jianyao, who values ​​emotions and is relatively restrained, continued.

He wears everyday clothes, enlarged versions of those he wore as a teenager.

The reckless and bold Shang Jianyao immediately said:

“Then do we have to make certain preparations for this kind of attack?

"How do we make ourselves capable of 'physical attacks'?"

Shang Jianyao, who was wearing a deerstalker hat, shook his pipe:

“We can manifest guns and ammunition, and then add the ability of ‘interfering matter’ when shooting.

"Because bullets are small and light, this kind of interference can be added in small portions, thus saving our mental energy."

It is obviously impossible to cause harm by embodying a weapon in someone else's spiritual world and firing it directly. The spirit must be actively "infused" into it.

In this regard, the ability to "interfere with matter" has unique advantages.

The businessmen quickly reached a consensus.

In order to reduce mental consumption, they reunited and had a customary "Berserker" assault rifle in their hands.

Holding this weapon, Shang Jianyao walked step by step towards the front of the street.

Not long after, figures emerged one after another from the windows of surrounding buildings, from abandoned cars in many corners of the street.

There were hundreds of them, including men and women, old and young. Their clothes were tattered and dirty, and their eyes were cloudy and frightening.

Some of these "unintentional people" were armed with various guns, some with sticks and wrenches, and some with bare hands. They attacked Shang Jianyao from all directions.

Da da da! Bang bang bang!

Shang Jianyao skillfully rolled and fired, allowing bullets to steadily penetrate into the bodies of different enemies.

Those "unintentional ones" are also very good at using weapons. If Shang Jianyao hadn't used "missing hand movements" and "hypocritical people" from time to time, he would definitely not be able to fight one against a hundred without suffering any harm to himself.

Compared with the real human army, the "unintentional ones" here will not be defeated by fear!

Da da da.

In the fierce gun battle, a large number of "unintentional people" lost their lives and fell to the ground. But at the end of the street, more "unintentional people" heard the movement here and rushed over in an endless stream.

Looking at these countless figures, Shang Jianyao sighed in a very playful manner:

"There's not enough ammunition..."

The essence of this sentence is that his mental reserves may not be able to keep up with the consumption. Even if he can deal with the batch in front of him, he will be unable to do anything after that.

Immediately afterwards, Shang Jianyao asked himself:

"How did the owner of the room escape from a similar environment, leaving only some psychological shadow?"

When he couldn't get an answer for a moment, he turned around suddenly and ran wildly towards the place where he had just entered.

After a flutter and a roll, Shang Jianyao returned to the "soul corridor" and ended his exploration.

Thirty-six strategies are the best strategy!

…………

When Shang Jianyao entered Room 14 on the 647th floor the next day, Jiang Baimian was informed that the entire "old tune team" would undergo a strict review.

Rewards can then be distributed.

For Shang Jianyao, this is the second review.

Jiang Baimian thought for a while and reminded him:

"The person responsible this time is probably not Mei Shouan."
