Embers Ad Infinitum

At Taicheng No. 1 Senior High School, Gnawa easily climbed over the electric telescopic door and returned to the cement square.

Once again, dark clouds covered the sky, the classroom lights turned on, and the windows reflected the figures of students listening.

After confirming the location of Class 3 and 5, Gnawa entered the teaching building in front and walked up the stairs to the predetermined place.

Previously, Pudu Zen Master Shang Jianyao and Shang Jianyao, who hated evil and took it as his own duty to save all mankind, joined forces to suppress the vicious one and vetoed his proposal to set fire to the building and create chaos.

But the most powerful reason was not put forward by the two of them, but came from the calm and rational Shang Jianyao.

He said sharply:

"The fire that Lao Ge set in the 'illusion' will inevitably be reflected in reality, which is equivalent to directly burning Taicheng No. 1 Senior High School, a sacred place of Buddhism.

"Before the abnormal points have been found and the weirdness has not been eliminated, such stimulation will most likely bring about bad changes and create dangerous accidents.

"At that time, not only will something happen to Dabai, Xiaobai, and Xiaohong who are trapped in the illusion, but they are playing different roles, and we outside may also be affected."

Based on this, Gnawa did not take the method of "setting fire" into consideration, and formulated a series of plans from different angles, planning to try them one by one from easy to difficult later.

After finding Grade 3 and Grade 5 and walking into the classroom "honestly", Gennava went straight to Jiang Baimian's seat.

He observed the surrounding students and the teacher on the podium, and carefully picked up the gel pen Jiang Baimian placed on his right hand.

Jiang Baimian's eyes suddenly froze.

She saw the gel pen standing up unsteadily on its own!

There's a ghost! Jiang Baimian was startled at first, and then remembered the inexplicable slap before.

She subconsciously looked out the window and found that although the sky was dark, it was still morning.

Why is this guy so arrogant in broad daylight?

After calming down, she saw the gel pen floating on the book she had opened, as if she wanted to write something.

However, no ink traces emerged.

Through Jiang Baimian's reaction, Gnawa confirmed that she could not see what she had written at all.

In other words, he could not use this method to tell Jiang Baimian the truth of the matter, awaken her "sealed" memories in her subconscious, and help her break free from the act.

"Change the plan and activate the second one..." As an intelligent robot, Gnawa calmly interrupted this attempt and put the gel pen back to its original position.

Hey once said that this is polite.

The invisible being who patted me on the back wanted to tell me something in writing, or teach me a method of practice, but failed? Jiang Baimian fell into deep thought.

Gnawa tried to write directly behind Jiang Baimian. Jiang Baimian understood and began to work hard to restore it in the draft book.

But no matter how Gnawa chose simple words, she always went awry halfway through the reproduction, as if there was some kind of force interfering with the communication between two different "worlds."

After judging this, Gnawa gave up the plan.

For Jiang Baimian, everything seemed to be back to normal. In order not to appear strange, she turned her eyes to the blackboard and nodded from time to time as the teacher explained.

Gennava took this opportunity and took out a small white pill from his black military uniform.

This is a synthetic medicine that Shang Jianyao took out from his tactical backpack. It is produced by "Pangu Biology" and is used to treat certain diseases caused by mosquito bites in the wild.

It has one of the more significant side effects:

Diuretic.

Gennava quietly unscrewed the thermos cup that Jiang Baimian placed in the drawer, crushed one-fifth of the small pills into powder with a metal palm, and sprinkled it in.

He believed that given Jiang Baimian's physical condition, such a small amount of medicine would not be able to affect her health.

After doing this, Gnawa looked back on his actions and felt that something was wrong with his painting style.

Painting style is a term he mastered after in-depth study of old world entertainment materials. It is also occasionally used within the "Old Tune Group".

After waiting for a long time, Jiang Baimian found no follow-up to the "weird" incident.

She was both relieved and slightly disappointed, took out the water glass, unscrewed the lid, and took a sip.

Gnawa began to wait patiently, but after waiting for nearly fifteen minutes, Jiang Baimian still had no intention of going to the toilet, and showed no signs of patience.

He decided to follow the plan and find another way.

He took out the water bag he borrowed from Shang Jianyao and poured a lot of water into the enamel cup he was carrying.

Then, he crushed the previous pill into fifths and let the powder blend into the cup.

After completing preparations, Gnawa entered the waiting state again.

After another five minutes, Jiang Baimian, who had just stood up to answer the teacher's question, habitually picked up the water glass, unscrewed the lid, and planned to take a sip.

It was too late, but it was too soon. Before she tilted the thermos cup and brought the edge to her mouth, Gnawa quickly poured about 10 ml of the liquid in the cup into her mouth.

Jiang Baimian felt a little abnormal, but didn't think much about it. Gulu drank the warm water.

This time, after only six or seven minutes, she couldn't help it anymore.

At this time, there are still ten minutes before the end of get out of class.

After enduring it again and again, until he couldn't bear it anymore, Jiang Baimian raised his hand and signaled to the teacher that he was going to the toilet.

She was among the top students in the entire grade, and her teacher agreed to her request with a warm smile.

Gnawa followed Jiang Baimian out of the classroom.

It was during school hours and the corridors were completely deserted.

After arriving outside the women's restroom, Gnawa hesitated for a moment, then followed in.

He remembered that he and he had a conversation about this:

"Lao Ge, you are a smart person, why do you care about this?"

"No, my gender is male. Breaking into the women's restroom is obscene and ungentlemanly."

"That's it... Laoge, do you have any programs to install a virtual machine?"

"It's basic."

"Then you can temporarily create a female personality and call her Genadel. Wouldn't the problem be solved?"

"It still feels weird, like I'm deceiving myself."

"It's okay, it's okay. The women's restrooms all have cubicles anyway."

In order to save his companions, Gnawa finally entered the women's toilet.

After confirming that only Jiang Baimian was there, he chose to wait in the wash area.

Not long after, Jiang Baimian came over, turned on the faucet, bent his back, and washed his hands.

The previous scene instantly appeared in the main chip of Gnawa:

Shang Jianyao said eagerly, "When you find the opportunity, give Dabai a 'Huang Liang Meng' punch. Pay attention to your strength. She is so strong. If it is too light, she cannot be knocked unconscious. Well, if it is too heavy, it won't make her unconscious." No, don’t you usually collect our status information and build models? Calculate the most appropriate force yourself and choose the best position, I believe you!”

To Gennava, such calculation was only a fraction of a second, and he suddenly waved his iron fist as big as a sand bowl.

boom!

Jiang Baimian fainted directly.

After checking her physical condition and finding that there was not much damage, Gnawa carried her companion on his back, left the women's restroom, and crawled forward in the corridor.

He wanted to avoid the glances cast from the classroom window from time to time.

Like a lizard, Gnawa quickly moved to the side of the current teaching building with Jiang Baimian on his back. Below him was a corner that few people usually passed by.

He jumped to the ground easily, preparing to sneak out just like he had brought Shang Jianyao out before, sticking to the outer walls of the teaching building and office building.

At this moment, a figure suddenly came out of a window in front of him.

It was a male student wearing a blue and white school uniform.

The male student who skipped class immediately stared at Gnawa.

No, he couldn't see Gnawa, he could only see Jiang Baimian, who was "standing in a very awkward posture".

Oops! Found! Gnawa calculated an unknown amount of data every second to predict what accident would happen next and how to deal with it.

Facing this weird Buddhist holy land, he was not sure at all.

At this time, Gnawa extracted the scene reflected in the male student's eyes and found that he only saw Jiang Baimian with his head lowered and his "standing posture" strange.

In a flash, Gnawa had a plan.

He grabbed Jiang Baimian's wrist, stepped forward, and let his companion's "fist" swing under the target's ear.

It looked like Jiang Baimian suddenly rose up, jumped forward, and hit the opponent.

boom! The boy fainted.

Gennava carefully observed the surrounding scene and found that nothing had changed.

After solving the accident, he repeated the previous route and took Jiang Baimian to sneak to the electric retractable door. Then, using the method of making noises in the east and west, he jumped out and disappeared at the school gate in a few ups and downs.

Gnawa quickly reunited with Shang Jianyao, awakened Jiang Baimian, and helped her regain her self-awareness.

Jiang Baimian rubbed his head, turned around, looked at Taicheng No. 1 Senior High School and said:

"This is more strange and dangerous than the three Buddhist holy places I encountered before..."

She already knew roughly what happened to her and others from Shang Jianyao and Gnawa.

Without waiting for the two companions to respond, she continued thoughtfully:

"I remembered a sentence."

"Ten years is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge?" Shang Jianyao tried to answer.

Jiang Baimian rolled his eyes at him, and his expression gradually became serious:

"Zhuang Sheng is obsessed with butterflies in his dream."

Gnawa immediately began to analyze:

"You mean, the essence of this Buddhist holy land is Zhuang Sheng's dream?"

Jiang Baimian nodded:

“I suspect that we have broken into ‘Zhuang Sheng’s’ dream, just like opening the door representing ‘Zhuang Sheng’ in the ‘soul corridor’.”
