Embers Ad Infinitum

The object with long black hair was located in a gap in the brown floor. Without getting closer, even with Jiang Baimian's eyesight, it would be difficult to see clearly.

Apart from it, there is nothing special about the visible area of ​​the living room. All the valuable furniture has been lost, leaving only corresponding stains to prove that it once existed.

All this shows that room 302 in Building 4 is not without ruin hunters. Not only did they come, but they also plundered it and came back with a lot.

According to normal logic, it can be logically inferred that there is nothing weird here.

However, the "Old Tune Team" has experienced Jiang Xiaoyue and the "Crystal Consciousness Cult", and Shang Jianyao has used the contents of the medical record in the ruins of the steel factory to create abnormalities beyond reason in some psychological shadow. They have long since The family members regard Room 302, Building 4, District 2, as a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, so naturally they will not be "persuaded" so easily.

There are not so many coincidences in this world!

"I remember that in the relevant information, there were no rumors of haunting the ruins of the steel plant, and no relic hunters pointed out that there were particularly dangerous places in the second family area..." Jiang Baimian recalled without entering Room 302 rashly.

Shang Jianyao's tone suddenly turned gloomy:

“Perhaps the relic hunters who searched this room at the time seemed fine on the surface, but when they returned, they went their separate ways and died quietly one after another.

"They were scattered in different places, and no one connected the cause of their death with Room 302, Building 4, Ruins of the Steel Plant..."

"..." Jiang Baimian laughed dumbly, "There is no need to tell ghost stories. I am not Xiaohong, so I will be afraid of this."

After saying that, she said "hmm" and commented on what Shang Jianyao had just said:

“It’s not impossible.

"So, we can't be reckless."

"We have already restrained the reckless one." Shang Jianyao said proudly.

Jiang Baimian glanced at him, picked up the walkie-talkie and said:

"Xiao Bai, Xiao Hong, you go around to the back of Building 4, climb to the balcony on the third floor, and take a look at the situation in more areas outside, but don't go in."

"Okay." Bai Chen quickly replied.

She carried a military exoskeleton device on her back, and together with Long Yuehong, she walked through the freshly green grass beside her and came to the back of Building 4.

"I'll do it." Long Yuehong identified the location of Room 302 and volunteered.

Bai Chen had no objection and only warned:

"be careful."

"Yeah." Long Yuehong became more courageous and walked to the outer wall of Building 4.

He originally planned to borrow water pipes, gas pipes and other facilities to climb up, but found that these had been taken away by "poor" and crazy ruin hunters.

Most of them are metal!

With no other choice, Long Yuehong had no choice but to stretch out her right palm.

His T1-type robotic arm has a suction cup function.

After the iron-black metal at the corresponding position rotated and sank, a special suction cup was ejected from the middle of the five fingers and the base of the palm of the manipulator.

Relying on them and grasping the gaps and different protrusions in the exterior wall with his left hand, the Long Yue Red Gecko "swam" upwards.

Soon, he arrived outside the balcony of Room 302.

Even in the old world, the buildings in the ruins of the steel factory should be of a certain age, so the balconies of the residences here are fully enclosed and have their own protective fences installed.

Of course, only the small sections connected to the concrete remain of the metal protective fence. The other parts have been sawed off by the ruins hunters and moved out of the ruins.

In a sense, it's almost like locusts passing through.

Through the broken glass, Long Yuehong looked inside.

The living room with brown floors contained only dust, stains, and trash, but nothing worth paying attention to.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of prying up the floor, and the only use was to make a fire, those ruin hunters might not even let this thing go.

Long Yuehong has always been cautious, which reflects in her work that although she is a little slow, she is meticulous enough.

After finding no problem at first glance, he still looked back and forth several times before picking up the walkie-talkie and reporting:

"Team leader, there is nothing in the living room."

Jiang Baimian asked another question out of habit. He even knew clearly what species that part of the garbage belonged to, and then issued a new order:

"Move to the side and take a look at the bedroom."

She knew very well what functions Long Yuehong's T1-type robotic arm had.

So, Long Yuehong moved laterally and slowly climbed to the window sill corresponding to the master bedroom.

Being cautious, he did not stand on the narrow place where he could stand, but furtively poked his head towards the messy glass window.

Due to the wind, rain, sun and rain, the glass of the master bedroom window has long been dirty. Looking at anything through it seems to be covered with a thick gray gauze, making it impossible to see clearly.

Fortunately, ruin hunters had visited this place long ago, and the glass layer was already riddled with holes. Long Yuehong made a slight adjustment and used a large hole to look into the room.

The first thing that caught his eye was a 1.8-meter double bed.

The four-piece suit used on the bed is bright red, embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, and has been washed a little white in some places.

Those hunters didn't take away the quilt? Long Yuehong was surprised.

On dusty soil and in the wilderness, quilts are also a type of hard currency.

How could this group of "locusts" let this go?

Long Yuehong frowned slightly, and with doubts, he adjusted his position so that he could see the bedside area.

Suddenly, his body swayed and he almost lost his balance.

He saw two white skulls!

The two skulls were leaning on a pillow respectively, and the body connected by the cervical vertebrae was covered by a bright red quilt. I don't know if it was there or not!

If so, they are the two skeletons sleeping on the bed in the master bedroom of Room 302.

Long Yuehong calmed down and quickly reported what he observed to Jiang Baimian.

Jiang Baimian held the walkie-talkie, looked sideways at Shang Jianyao, and said to himself:

"There are still sheets and quilts left in the master bedroom, and there are two corpses lying on the bed..."

"Are all the ruin hunters who came before blind?" Shang Jianyao looked "shocked".

Jiang Baimian whitened at him:

"What do you think?"

Shang Jianyao immediately changed his words:

"Do they all believe in the 'Broken Mirror'?"

As he spoke, Shang Jianyao opened his arms, raised his body slightly, looked into the air and said:

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

"It seems there is something really weird in Room 302." Jiang Baimian gave up discussing with Shang Jianyao.

She thought for a moment and said:

"Staying outside all the time is not an option. Please give me the original copy of your medical records and I will try to see if I can enter the master bedroom.

"You stay at the door and help me watch my back to guard against accidents."

Shang Jianyao did not come forward and took out the folded original copy of the medical record.

After Jiang Baimian took it, he took steps forward.

Just then, someone tapped her shoulder.

Jiang Baimian's body tensed up and he turned around suddenly at any time, only to find that it was Shang Jianyao who did it.

Before she could ask, Shang Jianyao pointed diagonally forward and said in a suppressed voice:

"You made the mistake of leaving..."

"..." Only then did Jiang Baimian realize that he was so quick that he almost rushed into Room 301.

She suppressed her emotions, not letting herself turn into an ostrich, and only exhaled slowly.

"I'd better go in, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to find the master bedroom in a short time." Shang Jianyao rubbed his chin with one hand and stretched out the other.

Jiang Baimian's rationality told her that such a dilemma might indeed arise.

She quickly adjusted her mood and nodded pretendingly:

"good.

"I'll help you look behind you."

Shang Jianyao did not move forward immediately, but took off his tactical backpack and put the "Six Senses Pearl" on his left wrist.

Then, he threw the "Angel of Life" necklace to Jiang Baimian.

Jiang Baimian didn't ask why, knowing that this was to strengthen the responders and reserve a way out.

As soon as she caught the silver pendant, her left arm suddenly sank and she lost consciousness.

"Sure enough, the price implies cognitive defects. My biological prosthetic limb is obviously paralyzed..." Jiang Baimian muttered, throwing the "Angel of Life" necklace into the air and catching it again.

This time, the price was paralysis of his right hand.

For Jiang Baimian, this is bearable.

Wearing the "Six Senses Pearl" and holding the original copy of the medical record, Shang Jianyao took a step forward.

Before entering, he knocked politely.

Of course, since there was no door, he had to pretend there was one.

After stepping into the living room, what Shang Jianyao saw was exactly the same as what Long Yuehong had just described.

After a brief examination, he walked step by step towards the master bedroom.

The master bedroom also has no door, only the stubborn door frame is still hanging there.

Shang Jianyao suddenly raised his left palm wearing the "Six Senses Pearl" and whispered:

"Namo Ayodoro Sanyao Sanbodhi."

After pronouncing the Buddha's name, he straightened up, approached the doorway, and cast his gaze in.

Seeing this, the calm and rational Shang Jianyao was a little stunned:

There is indeed a broken bed in the master bedroom, but it is only covered with a layer of plastic film full of holes. There are no bright red sheets, quilts, or two auspicious skulls like a dragon and a phoenix!

Shang Jianyao picked up the walkie-talkie and informed Jiang Baimian and others of his findings.

Long Yuehong outside the window couldn't believe it, because he could still see the big red bed.
