Embers Ad Infinitum

Glancing at Shang Jianyao who was "fixed" by a military exoskeleton device, Gennava fulfilled his responsibility as a teammate:

"I'd better go in first and you can follow after confirming the situation."

What he means is that even if there are projections of powerful people from the "New World" or certain beings inside, as an intelligent person without consciousness, there is a high probability that he will not be discovered and trigger that terrifying vortex.

Shang Jianyao, whose facial expression was blocked by a mask, said vaguely:

"Once you open the door, the light will shine in...

"I will also be sensed..."

"Then shall I send you down first?" The red light in Gnawa's eyes stayed at Shang Jianyao's ears for a few seconds.

Shang Jianyao "walked" step by step towards the exit of the stairwell, laughing loudly:

"How are you sure that you won't be discovered?

"Here is the source of the problem. The overlapping situation is the most serious. Maybe it can be seen directly.

"You have nothing, but I carry the 'Angel of Life', the necklace, the 'Six Consciousness Pearls', the small jade Buddha, and the heavens, holding the year and blessing chart!"

Gnawa understood what he meant.

That is, he is here, even if an accident occurs, there is still room for saving. If only Gnawa is the only one, and something happens, he who is downstairs will not be spared either.

"You can give me all those items." Gnawa suggested.

Although he cannot use props, the real role of those items in the current environment is not reflected by the awakening ability.

"You are not an employee of the company." Shang Jianyao pointed out.

He was just switching the action mode of the military exoskeleton device, so that the artificial intelligence would not be able to understand his eagerness to open the door.

Gnawa's eyes flashed red for a while, and finally he chose silence without any dissuasion.

What Shang Jianyao said actually makes some sense.

They are pushed here by "fate", and items such as the "Angel of Life" necklace can only work on them.

After completing the mode switch, Shang Jianyao started to stagger, and Gennava quickly walked over and supported him.

The next second, Shang Jianyao stretched out his right palm that was not paralyzed, grasped the handle of the wooden door opposite to the stairwell, and pulled it backwards.

The pure white light was like water breaking through the embankment, shining in and dispelling all the darkness.

Although there was only a corridor outside the stairwell, a scene emerged in Shang Jianyao's mind and Gnawa's "sight" at the same time.

It was a large living room, complete with carpets, sofas and other things.

At this time, a dark figure was standing in front of a row of floor-to-ceiling windows, quietly looking outside.

Suddenly, the black shadow turned around and looked at Shang Jianyao and Gnawa.

Almost at the same time, Gnawa's "eyes" went dark, and he could no longer collect information about the surrounding environment in any way.

The "drunk" Shang Jianyao first regained enough consciousness, and then shouted:

"swirl!"

Then, he lost all his thoughts, could not see, hear, think or think, as if his soul had been forcibly sucked out.

On the mountain road outside Cornynmis, Jiang Baimian's expression suddenly became solemn.

She saw that in the direction of the main city, the sky was darkening at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning the entire area from a dim dusk into a lightless night.

A light mist filled this environment and quickly enveloped every place in Cornimis.

This is not over yet, both darkness and fog are spreading outward.

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen groaned in pain and couldn't help but raise their hands to cover their heads.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Baimian's head also throbbed, causing a certain degree of dizziness.

This caused a thought to flash through the minds of the three people who had had similar experiences:

"No worries"!

In panic, Long Yuehong saw that the darkness and fog were still expanding, and she subconsciously remembered one thing:

The special correspondent of the Eighth Research Institute said that if they had not prepared the quarantine in advance, the disaster in Cornynmis would probably have spread to the entire Ash Earth.

At this moment, the intense pain and dizziness suddenly disappeared.

Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen returned to normal.

If their memories weren't still there, if the sky wasn't still dark and the surroundings were filled with mist, they would all have doubted whether they had just hallucinated.

The next second, they saw the fog quickly fade and merge into the air, while the darkness quickly shrank and finally disappeared in the main city of Cornimis.

The sunlight from high altitude shone down, making this area no longer drowsy.

Looking at such a scene, Long Yuehong couldn't speak for a long time.

After a few seconds, Jiang Baimian laughed to himself:

"If it were hello, I would definitely thank the few ministers devoutly now, saying that 'new life is like the sun, life is the most important' and 'Namo Anuttarasamyaksambodhi'."

…………

"New life is like the sun, life is the most important." After waking up, Shang Jianyao stood at the door of the stairwell, bent his right arm, and gently rocked a baby in the arms of a disabled person.

Then he shouted again:

"I will eventually return to Si Ming!"

After he completed the ceremony, Gennava asked:

"Are you sure the 'Angel of Life' necklace is working?"

"Not sure." Shang Jianyao answered confidently.

He then raised his right palm and whispered the Buddha's name:

"Namo Anuttarasamyaksambodhi."

Then, he took a step back and said loudly:

“Be alert is God’s command!”

In this way, he went through all the prayers corresponding to the year of the year on the heavenly blessing chart, and emphasized that everyone should have a share.

Gnawa did not continue the topic just now, glanced at the corridor that was brightened by the sunlight, and said to Shang Jianyao:

"There should be no problem now, we can go in and search."

"There is no problem for the time being." Shang Jianyao emphasized.

No one is sure whether the overlap between Cornynmis and the "New World" will happen again.

"So hurry up." Gnawa stepped into the corridor.

Shang Jianyao is not willing to lag behind.

There was only one suite on the entire top floor, and they quickly arrived at the door.

The first thing that caught their eyes was the open door, the spacious living room and the row of floor-to-ceiling windows.

All of this was exactly the same as the scene they had "seen" before.

The only two differences are that there is no longer the black shadow and the night view outside the window.

Shang Jianyao was about to walk into the living room when he suddenly heard a human voice coming from the other side of the corridor:

"We must rush back now!"

"Eh..." Shang Jianyao chose to watch "Lively" first.

At the same time, he told Gnawa:

"I sense no human consciousness."

Gnawa also found no signs of human activity.

When they approached the other side of the corridor, they saw a man wearing a "Chameleon" bionic smart armor.

This man was discussing something with two companions and was indifferent to the approach of Gennava and Shang Jianyao.

"That person from the Eighth Research Institute last time?" Shang Jianyao remembered Jiang Baimian's description.

Gnawa made a judgment on the current situation:

"It is the sequelae of a disordered electromagnetic environment.

"The conversation between several of them was recorded by the environment. As the overlap between the two worlds disappeared, it reappeared in dislocation on the top floor of the apartment. It was like there was a curtain here and the projector projected the movie content from a distance."

Shang Jianyao and Gnawa had seen many similar situations in the depths of Cornimis, and witnessed the reappearance of many scenes of the disaster that year. However, at that time, Cornimis and the "New World" were still in conflict. in overlapping state.

"Without the overlap, it won't take long for the electromagnetic environment to recover little by little." Shang Jianyao adopted the attitude of "If you miss this village, you won't have this store." He planned to listen to what the members of the Eighth Research Institute were saying. What.

After "replaying", he and Gnawa roughly knew why these people from the Eighth Research Institute did not return to the previous post.

They hid all the way to the east of the main city of Cornimis, where the electromagnetic environment was relatively good, and they could send a telegram to the Eighth Research Institute to request assistance.

Before help arrived, because the awakened person in the "Soul Corridor" was seriously injured and needed time to recover, they did not dare to leave the hiding place to confirm the situation of the "Old Tune Team".

When the injured were almost recovered, the Eighth Research Institute sent a telegram requesting the guard team to return to the headquarters immediately.

These things were extracted by Gnawa and Shang Jianyao from the conversations between those people. At that time, they should have been passing through the main city of Cornimis and heading towards the northern mountains.

They were all confused about the order from the Eighth Research Institute, so they had this discussion.

"Judging from the time point, it should be the day after we caught Professor Qin and obtained the specific location of the Eighth Research Institute." Gnawa analyzed.

Shang Jianyao suddenly realized:

"Are they preparing for the headquarters to be exposed?"

"It's very possible." Gnawa's eyes flashed red.

The two of them walked back to the door of the suite on the top floor and entered the living room.

As soon as he walked in, Shang Jianyao couldn't wait to look around, looking for possible figures.

He and Gnawa saw several corpses at the same time.
