Embers Ad Infinitum

Shang Jianyao is not modest at all:

"Of course! And the improvement is not small.

"How much is it specifically..."

As he said that, he turned his attention to Long Yuehong.

Long Yuehong took a few steps back reflexively, as if she had foreseen Shang Jianyao's sinister intentions.

Shang Jianyao smiled:

"I'll try to find some psychological shadow later. This won't be too different from the reality."

"..." Long Yuehong was startled, "You didn't say that before."

Shang Jianyao explained seriously:

"Because of the last psychological shadow, that is, the one at the Second Food Company in the ruins of Tieshan City, the owner of the room was not an awakened person at the time. I was unable to sense human consciousness in it. My ability was greatly interfered with and I could not compare it with reality, so Didn't notice this.

"And Cruise Ship Shadow is pretty close to reality."

Although what you said makes sense, I always feel that you are deceiving me... Long Yuehong muttered something in his heart.

He didn't try to "expose" Shang Jianyao. Anyway, he had escaped the fate of becoming an experimental subject.

At this time, Jiang Baimian looked at the sunglasses that incorporated the "chaos" atmosphere, and said thoughtfully:

"The 'Sea of ​​Origin' cannot directly correspond to reality, and the data obtained from the above experiments are inaccurate.

"Later I have to figure out the scope of influence of these sunglasses. It can roughly deal with a few people, and it will affect the awakened people who have entered the 'soul corridor', the awakened people who are still in the 'Sea of ​​Origin', and ordinary people. What are the different effects..."

"Uh..." Long Yuehong was a little dull for a moment.

Team leader, are you, a so-called kind person, colluding with Shang Jian Yaohang?

Jiang Baimian looked at him with a smile and said:

"Of course the experimental subject at the 'Soul Corridor' level is Hey. I will be the one who is still in the 'Origin Sea', and I will let you use the props when the time comes.

"So, do you think it would be better for you to be an ordinary experimental subject or a novice?"

After hearing the team leader's question, a picture that often appeared in old world entertainment materials suddenly appeared in Long Yuehong's mind:

Dark, evil devil wings spread out behind someone.

"I'll do it!" Long Yuehong blurted out without hesitation.

Jiang Baimian looked at him, his lips seemed to be trembling slightly.

Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and laughed:

"Haha! Xiaohong, you are truly the most innocent and deceitful boy I have ever seen!"

"Ah..." Long Yuehong was confused and embarrassed.

He subconsciously glanced sideways at Bai Chen and found that his companion seemed to be holding back a smile.

Jiang Baimian smiled and said:

"I don't need to experiment on my own. I can just feed the props back and let them carry the breath and try them in other people's psychological shadows. Wouldn't that be enough?

"This is not essentially different from his experiment on how much his own abilities have improved. At most, after returning to reality, I will use him as a guinea pig to test how much the awakened people at the 'soul corridor' level will be affected."

Bang bang bang, Shang Jianyao applauded this "wonderful" fraud.

The person involved understood it instantly and blushed a little for a moment.

Jiang Baimian stopped when he saw good things, and quickly praised Long Yuehong:

"The fact that you didn't think carefully shows that you trust your teammates and are willing to make certain sacrifices for the team.

"Well done!"

She gave a thumbs up.

Team leader, haven't you heard the story "The Wolf Cried"? If you keep joking like this, no one may take it seriously, and it will waste the opportunity to fight... Long Yue cursed a few words and waved his hand:

"It should be."

You can't say that caring leads to chaos, right?

Jiang Baimian immediately changed the topic, looked at Gnawa and said:

"Seriously, Lao Ge, you have to make an experiment later. I want to see if the 'chaotic' breath will have the ability to 'interfere with electromagnetic'."

"You can first try to see if you can interfere with matter and do the elimination method." Gnawa responded according to the procedure.

"It can't be ruled out. Maybe both abilities are present." Jiang Baimian shook his head, "Although electrical appliances such as walkie-talkies can be used as experimental products, they cannot give me the most accurate and intuitive feedback. In the psychological shadow, it is not so easy to find truly intelligent people.”

Gnawa accepted this explanation:

"no problem."

After a lot of busy trying, Shang Jianyao finally came to the conclusion:

After passing through the shadow of the cruise ship, the upper limit of the number of people he can influence has been increased to one hundred. The range of "Literary Youth· Hypocritical Person" has reached 150 meters, and the range of "Lack of Limb Movement" and "Interference Electromagnetic" are both 200 meters. The "interference material" is 100 meters away, and the "thought guidance" has not changed in this regard. It is always based on being able to hear the corresponding words clearly, so it can affect people far away through telephones, radio stations, etc.

The price of that "chaotic" atmosphere is the fear of cold, to the extent that even in summer, you have to wear a sweater, otherwise you will shiver.

Its function is to plunge ten humans within a hundred meters into a state of chaos, madness, and unconsciousness.

And even if the influence is interrupted, this state can last for nearly two minutes.

There is no significant difference in the impact on ordinary people and awakened people at the "Sea of ​​Origin" level. When it comes to the awakened people at the "Soul Corridor" level, the duration and degree of chaos are significantly reduced. The former only has ten left. For five seconds, the latter is maintained at a level where the target still has a certain degree of consciousness, but is prone to hallucinations, always takes the hallucinations seriously, and takes some actions in response to them.

In other words, even if the awakened person at the "soul corridor" level is affected by the "chaotic" atmosphere, he will not truly enter the unconscious state and become completely crazy. He will just be a little confused between reality and illusion.

In this case, if certain actions are taken against him, he will be able to react, unless the attacker happens to be replaced by the hallucination he produced.

"So it's really suitable for you." Shang Jianyao looked at Jiang Baimian and said sincerely.

As the leader of the "Old Tune Group", Jiang Baimian has abilities in two "illusion" fields: "spatial illusion" and "object agnosia".

Under normal circumstances, as she is only at the "Sea of ​​Origin" level, she cannot make the awakened person in the "Soul Corridor" be affected by the hallucinations created by herself. At most, she can make the other person feel like they are seeing a holographic projection, or be temporarily in a trance.

But when the target falls into "chaos", the effect of her "hallucination" is completely different.

Jiang Baimian laughed and said without any politeness:

"Since you want to give it to me so sincerely, then I will reluctantly accept it."

She knew that refusing would break the heart of Shang Jianyao, who valued feelings.

"However." Jiang Baimian asked with a smile, "It's best to fix the breath on my glove. It will be more convenient to use."

She pulled out a pair of black leather gloves with fuzzy insides.

——Although the "old tune team" expected to arrive in Icefield Taicheng in midsummer, which is the best season in that area, Jiang Baimian was not sure whether there would be delays in the middle, so he still let the team members take advantage of the "Primary City" It was a relatively convenient opportunity to purchase various supplies, so we each made some preparations.

Of course, Shang Jianyao would not refuse such a simple request. He used the "soul corridor" to transfer the "chaos" aura to the right hand of the glove.

Therefore, this prop was named "Chaos Right Hand".

"What a pity, this can't interfere with electromagnetism, nor can it interfere with matter." Jiang Baimian picked up the glove tremblingly and said regretfully.

She wanted to sigh, but she felt that blowing out the hot breath was too extravagant.

At this time, Shang Jianyao made a strange sound next to him:

"Duoluoluo, duoluoluo, the cold wind will freeze me to death..." (Note: Quoted from "Hanhao Bird")

Jiang Baimian glared at him and put the props back into his tactical backpack.

She then looked around and said:

"After what happened last night, I have some confidence in defeating the current fear island. Let's give it a try now."

No one objected.

…………

In the "Sea of ​​Origin", inside the dead and deserted "Pangae Creatures" underground building.

Jiang Baimian stood outside his home and said as if he was chatting with someone:

"I have figured out one thing now:

“Accidents are inevitable in the dust.

"Even if I don't do anything, or I do everything I say to the best of my ability, I may still face various accidents when I wake up. This may be because someone nearby went to a certain ruins to retrieve something. , or maybe it stems from a certain operation that the innocent people around us have had... These are all beyond our control.

"What's more, maybe no abnormality is discovered, and a companion, friend or relative suddenly becomes infected with the 'unintentional disease'."

Jiang Baimian paused for a moment, and his expression became serious and serious:

“I am afraid of losing my family, relatives, friends and companions, and I am afraid of losing my current life.

“But that doesn’t mean I won’t lose these if I’m afraid!

“If we don’t figure out the source of the ‘Wuxin Disease’ and the reason for the destruction of the ‘Old World’, everyone will live in trembling fear!

"I'm trying to move forward so that one day I won't have to worry anymore!"

She expressed her feelings heartily, and then laughed:

“Wait a minute I will place explosives at key locations here and blow up this underground building with my own hands.

"Fear can't stop me from moving forward, it can only be the motivation for me to move forward!"

Nearly half an hour later, the underground building opened to the parking lot outside.

Jiang Baimian put on his sunglasses and walked towards the door.

She even hummed a song:

"Do you still remember the dream you had when you were young?

"Like a flower that never withers..." (Note: quoted from "The Price of Love", Li Zongsheng)

Boom!

Behind her, at the soles of her feet, a series of explosions shook the ground violently.

The entire island seemed to be collapsing, and the fire was looming in the smoke, but Jiang Baimian did not look back and walked step by step towards the edge of the island.

When the explosion subsided completely, she knew she had overcome the corresponding fear.

…………

After leaving the "Sea of ​​Origins", Jiang Baimian tried to improve his abilities.

The number of people affected by her "space hallucination" has been increased to seven, and the range has become thirty meters; "object agnosia" can affect two targets at a time, the range is twenty meters, and the limited time is one and a half minutes; "stimulation disorder" It is still possible to modify only one related reaction for one target at a time, the maintenance time is increased to two minutes, and the maximum range is fifteen meters.

After Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian made breakthroughs respectively, the "old tune group" set out again.

Nearly two weeks later, after taking many detours, they finally arrived at the boundary between the "Prime City" and the "Salvation Army".

This is a rolling mountain range.
