Embers Ad Infinitum

On the other side of the cracks, countless shadows overlap and appear to be squeezing outwards, as if they want to penetrate the barrier and extend over. In their gaps, a large number of shimmering lights flicker, "releasing" darkness.

Welf's "Invisible Tentacles" had just reached this point, and it froze for a moment, as if a living thing had encountered a natural enemy, or a human being had a gun pressed against his temple.

The "invisible tentacle" began to tremble, and Welf, who was sitting in a small truck dozens of meters away, turned pale in an instant and made a loud sound from his mouth.

After a short pause, he screamed uncontrollably:

"No!

"forgive me!"

He suddenly retracted the four extended "tentacles", trying to get out of that extremely terrifying gap.

This reaction was so big and violent that Welf could no longer hide the sound of looking through Shang Jiyao's memory.

In the "True Self Cult" stronghold, Shang Jianyao paused while eating oatmeal bread.

He felt like his mind was in chaos, as if someone was screaming.

Once there is such substantial interaction between the awakened ones, then each other's existence will no longer be a secret to both parties.

After a moment, Shang Jianyao captured the source of the abnormality.

That is a stream of human consciousness located dozens of meters away!

Shang Jianyao threw the oatmeal bread back on the table, turned his head to the side, and shouted to Bai Chen:

"Give me the 'Six Senses Pearl'!"

At the same time, he locked onto that human consciousness and used "Literary Youth" on him.

He initially judged that this was the weak and timid person who had awakened at the "soul corridor" level of the "last man" realm.

In the small truck, Welf, who had just regained his composure and was about to start the car and leave the neighborhood, suddenly became depressed.

He felt like a failure and couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"I'm sorry for being born human..." (Note 1)

When Welf was feeling sad and hurting himself, Bai Chen heard Shang Jianyao's cry.

She did not hesitate and threw the "Six Senses Pearl" in her hand.

After making this move, she let out a long sigh of relief, as if she had finally gotten rid of some bad experience.

The reason why Shang Jianyao wanted the "Six Senses Pearl" instead of the "Angel of Life" necklace was based on distance considerations.

The "Angel of Life" necklace can directly stop the target's heart and deprive him of his life, but it can only affect humans within a range of forty meters, while the "Six Senses Pearl" can reach one hundred and twenty meters in this regard.

Now, the target targeted by Shang Jianyao is between 60 and 80 meters!

On the other hand, the direct "consciousness deprivation" of the "Six Senses Pearl" is not much worse than "cardiac arrest", and it can also disintegrate an enemy's combat ability in one blow.

The only problem is that it can only be used three times, but Shang Jianyao doesn't care.

After catching the "Six Consciousness Beads" with his left hand, Shang Jianyao turned the rosary without hesitation.

Unlike in the past, where the name of the corresponding ability was required to function, the current "Six Senses Pearl" incorporates the unusual aura of the Buddhist holy land of Tieshan City Second Food Company, and only requires the two steps of thinking and dialing. It's ready to use, a lot simplified.

At the critical moment, I don’t know which businessman thought of a question:

If we think of "visual deprivation", "auditory deprivation", "smell deprivation", "tactile deprivation", "taste deprivation" and "consciousness deprivation" respectively in our minds, and quickly turn the rosary, which ability will eventually be deprived of? excitation?

The calm and rational Shang Jianyao quickly suppressed the jump in his thinking, preparing to make a voice of "consciousness deprivation" from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the "Six Senses Pearl" in his hand became cold.

This is no longer like a string of rosary beads made of wood, but closer to fired glass beads.

A green light appeared in front of Shang Jianyao's eyes, and scenes appeared in the light.

In those scenes, Shang Jianyao successfully used the "Six Senses Pearl" to deprive the target of consciousness.

Then, he took the "Angel of Life" necklace from Jiang Baimian, climbed out of the window, and went straight to the area where the enemy was.

There was a certain amount of chaos due to the coma of the awakened ones from the "Last Man" realm, and the "Golden Scale" awakened ones who were good at hiding showed themselves.

Shang Jianyao, who entered the forty-meter range, locked onto the woman and directly activated the ability of the "Angel of Life" necklace.

Without incident, the target suffered a cardiac arrest and fell down.

Shang Jianyao smiled, pulled out his pistol, and pulled the trigger at the two awakened minions.

The sound of banging and banging echoed, and the enemies lost their lives one after another.

The scenes fell apart in the blink of an eye, and a new picture was formed.

In the painting, Shang Jianyao opened his eyes.

Around him, Jiang Baimian died of "cardiac arrest", Long Yuehong was deprived of consciousness and shot to death randomly, Bai Chen was shot several times and was already in a dying state, Gnawa's eyes were red and solidified, It seems that nothing has been noticed and nothing has been discovered.

This is... The calm and rational Shang Jianyao raised his right hand and slapped himself hard.

Snapped!

There was a sharp pain on his face, and his head was dizzy for a few seconds before returning to normal.

At this time, he discovered that although he was holding the "Six Senses Pearl" in his hand, the human consciousness locked on was not the enemy dozens of meters away, but Long Yuehong who was very close at hand!

Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen had their eyes half-closed and lost focus.

At some point they pulled out the "United 202" they carried with them, and it seemed they were preparing to target Shang Jianyao.

"Sleepwalking!"

Shang Jianyao instantly understood the real cause of Boss Ugo’s death:

After being affected by the "nightmare", he entered a state of sleepwalking and suffocated himself with a plastic bag!

On the other side, the red light in Gnawa's eyes stagnated, as if he was in another world and did not receive the electromagnetic signals that were changing around him.

boom! boom! boom!

Shang Jianyao ducked and dodged the volleys of his three companions.

Those bullets hit the table, penetrated, penetrated into the floor, or ricocheted, almost injuring people in the room.

Amidst the unsilenced gunfire, Jiang Baimian and others woke up, their expressions a little dazed.

Shang Jianyao didn't bother to explain, so he could only shout:

"Sleepwalking!"

As the sound echoed, he extended his spirit to the block dozens of meters away, trying to lock in the "soul corridor" level awakener in the "last man" realm again.

But the other party has moved his position and covered his consciousness again.

Sleepwalking? Jiang Baimian's eyes moved slightly, recalling what happened to Boss Ugo, and he quickly understood what happened just now.

I and others were unknowingly affected by the "nightmare", fell into sleep, and then began to sleepwalk. Under the guidance of the corresponding dream, they attacked their companions!

If Shang Jianyao hadn't woken up in time, the "old tune team" might not have been able to find a complete person except Gnawa.

What frightened Jiang Baimian the most was that he had clearly asked the auxiliary chip to monitor his body condition. Once he realized that he was asleep, he would use the high-voltage current in the biological prosthesis to forcefully wake him up, but this time it failed to have any effect.

While "sleepwalking", her physical state was still somewhat different from normal, but it was also obviously different from being in deep sleep.

As a result, the auxiliary chip with relatively simple functions cannot be recognized.

This made Jiang Baimian wonder whether it was necessary to get a higher-end auxiliary chip from "Mechanical Paradise" to improve the performance of biological prostheses.

As her thoughts flashed, she shouted in a deep voice:

"Make yourself asymmetrical and monitor what's going on around each other!"

While speaking, Jiang Baimian, whose right arm was "paralyzed", kept holding the gun in his left hand and aiming forward.

She was trying to force out the enemy with symmetry obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Otherwise, maybe the opponent who is very good at hiding can easily find an opportunity to complete the assassination as long as he can endure it.

——Jiang Baimian, who has never dealt with awakened people in this area, is not sure whether his bioelectric signal induction will be blocked.

Upon hearing this, Long Yuehong pulled up the sleeve of her right arm, revealing a large area of ​​iron-black color.

For him, this allows him to better utilize the various functions of the robotic arm.

In the eyes of patients with symmetry obsessive-compulsive disorder, having a human arm on one side and a mechanical creation on the other is an unforgivable crime.

Bai Chen also rolled up his sleeves, and secretly used the "Merman" biological prosthetic limb to release invisible infrasound to the door and window.

On the one hand, she wants to use the feedback of sound waves to find hidden enemies, just like a crude version of sonar. On the other hand, she hopes that when the opponent sneaks in through the window or door, he will unknowingly suffer infrasound damage.

After the gunshot, Gnawa returned to normal. While he used various methods to explore the surrounding situation, he issued a slightly synthetic baritone voice:

"They used the power of 'nightmare' to distort the electromagnetic signals in the environment!"

This includes light.

"It's really prudent. I used my full strength from the beginning. Fortunately, the 'Six Senses Pearl' has hidden special features, which allowed me to see a bad future." Shang Jianyao stood up, holding the rosary beads in one hand and the other hand. He took out the white straps.

He has not yet found the human consciousness that he had locked onto before.

But this didn't stop him from wrapping the left half of his head.

What you want is asymmetry!
