Embers Ad Infinitum

Floor 495, Area C, No. 11.

In the living room of Long Yuehong's part-time master bedroom, a family of five were sitting in different places, listening to the radio and chatting about Long Yuehong's experience on the surface.

Of course, Long Yuehong also knew that the review was not over yet, and it was still uncertain what could be said and what could not be said. He could only choose those who were least likely to make mistakes and talk about them on a daily basis.

"Brother, have you learned how to make hot pot?" Long Yuehong's sister Long Aihong asked expectantly.

She is only sixteen years old, almost 1.7 meters tall, and has semi-long hair with bangs, making her look very childish.

Compared with Long Yuehong, the details of her facial features are obviously better, and she is an out-and-out beauty.

Long Yuehong smiled and said:

"There is a lack of enough spices. Many of them are not available in the supply market."

Seeing the disappointed expression on her sister's face, Long Yuehong added with a smile:

"But we can make a simple version. I'll go to the market tomorrow to buy two big bones and bring them back to make soup..."

"Okay!" His younger brother Long Zhigu made an excited voice.

You can't eat hot pot in the staff canteen, and the Long family doesn't even have the concept of hot pot.

Long Zhigu is eighteen years old this year, at the critical moment of getting admitted to college, but he is already three centimeters taller than his brother.

Thanks to the good effect of genetic improvement, his appearance can be considered above average among the "Pangaean creatures".

"Not bad, I learned how to cook after just one trip." Gu Hong, who was knitting a sweater while listening to the radio, smiled and sighed, "When I meet other girls in the future, I can talk about this well."

Long Dayong laughed and said:

"I suffered a loss in this area at the beginning. Your mother disliked me at that time. Later I slowly learned to cook."

"Pangu Biology" Most of the young people who are not yet married cannot cook, because they can go directly to the employee canteen to eat, which is trouble-free, convenient, and not too expensive.

Long Yuehong smiled and said:

“The most important thing for hot pot is to prepare the soup base and seasonings, everything else is simple...”

He spoke eloquently and described the various types of hot pot he had eaten before. Hearing Long Zhigu and Long Aihong swallow their saliva, they picked up rice krispie treats, fluffy biscuits and other snacks from time to time and took a bite.

They haven't gone out after dinner recently, but it's definitely not because their brother returned home with a bunch of snacks and drinks. It's mainly because they want to hear their hero talk about his wonderful life on the surface.

At the end of the chat, Long Yuehong said:

"We got a lot of portable computers this time. I have applied to the company, hoping to keep one or two for myself, but I don't know if it will work."

Although Long Dayong, Gu Hong and others have never touched computers, they have seen real ones in work and school, and can easily understand what a portable computer is.

"What's the use of bringing this back?" Gu Hong asked not quite understanding.

In her opinion, computers are just for work at work and are not needed at home.

Long Zhigu and Long Aihong were not very excited either. For them, computers were still too unfamiliar, and they didn't know what they could do with them.

Long Yuehong seemed to see the unseen version of herself in the past, and smiled and said:

"My younger brother can get familiar with computers in advance. When he gets admitted to university, it will be easier to choose a related major.

"Also, it can record radio programs so you can listen to them over and over again."

Long Yuehong didn't mention the entertainment materials from the old world, fearing that it would harm her younger siblings' studies.

He decided to hide the old world entertainment information in a relatively hidden place on his computer, and only let his younger siblings know and understand it when they entered the workforce in the future.

After hearing the broadcast, Long Dayong muttered:

"Does this consume electricity? We don't have much energy quota..."

They all only turn on a small light now, mainly using the light from the street light shining through the window.

Long Aihong suddenly became excited:

"Brother, when can I get it?"

"It depends on the company." Mentioning this matter, Long Yuehong sighed, "Didn't someone get caught bringing personal items back to the company before? The review will definitely be very strict in recent months, not so fast."

"Do you also know about that matter?" Gu Hong raised her head and lowered her voice unconsciously, "I heard from people in my unit that it was a security department employee named Yan Qing who brought back a recording pen with cult materials. Company. Later, when he had a gathering with some people and held some kind of ceremony, he was caught red-handed. Oops, everyone in the room was naked and had no clothes on..."

This, that "natural sect" believes in the "Mandala" of the realm of desire? Long Yuehong subconsciously looked around and found that her sister looked shy and her brother was full of curiosity.

As for Long Dayong, he already knew it and there was no change in his expression.

"Mom, are they really that messy?" Long Zhigu couldn't help but ask.

Gu Hong glanced at him:

"What are you thinking about?

"They didn't do anything, they just took off their clothes and were talking and praying in the room."

This doesn't sound convincing... Long Yuehong imagined the scene and felt that she didn't quite believe that those people really took off their clothes and just chatted there.

Even if the room is full of men or women, he doesn't think it's that innocent.

Seeing her eldest son's disbelief, Gu Hong quickly explained:

"At first I thought this was bluffing, wasn't it? But then they told me that the cult requires everyone to find their original nature and not to be troubled by acquired things. They believe that only by stripping themselves naked and returning to nature can they Only then can we listen to the teachings of the gods and gain salvation.”

Gu Hong tried her best to recall what she heard, without adding much to her own words.

"A strange sect." Long Yuehong commented.

This made it impossible for him to tell which official the "natural sect" believed in.

"Yeah, you're just like a lunatic, and you strip yourself naked, aren't you ashamed?" Long Dayong quickly expressed his opinion.

Gu Hong glanced at him:

"Don't you often go shirtless?"

"Can this be the same?" Long Dayong shouted injustice.

Long Yuehong looked at her parents talking to each other with a smile without interrupting.

The family just ate, drank, talked and laughed until it was time to turn off the lights.

Because there was a queue for the small bathroom in her house, Long Yuehong took a flashlight, walked out of the door and walked to the nearest public toilet.

This is located at the junction of Areas C and B.

At this time, most of the employees had washed up, returned to their homes, and were getting ready to sleep. Long Yuehong only met two or three people on the way.

In the dark and deep corridor, the yellowish flashlight light swayed back and forth, illuminating the outline of the public toilet.

Long Yuehong was about to turn to the right when a figure suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

The figure hung at the door of the men's room, swaying slightly.

In the past, Long Yuehong would have been so frightened that she would have backed away. She might have tripped over something and fallen to the ground, unable to scream even if she wanted to.

But after so many experiences, his hairs just exploded, and he raised a hand to block it in front of him.

Just when he was about to shout, the figure hanging at the door of the men's room swayed slightly and landed in front of him.

Long Yuehong's flashlight then shined upward, revealing a face with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, deep contours, and masculine facial features.

"..." Long Yuehong was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't restrain her anger and shouted in a low voice, "What are you doing hanging on the door?"

The figure in front of him was Shang Jianyao.

Shang Jianyao looked sincere:

"When I saw you coming, I just wanted to say hello to you."

"Is there anyone who greets you like this?" Long Yuehong asked angrily.

Shang Jianyao explained seriously:

"I think it's boring to say hello in the same way. I need to develop some new tricks. Moreover, this can also exercise your courage and reaction ability."

"Thank you! If we were outside, I would have drawn my gun, okay?" Long Yuehong calmed down a little.

Shang Jianyao smiled:

"You can't shoot."

Long Yuehong couldn't refute.

After a few seconds, he breathed out, pointed forward and said:

"Don't block the door."

Shang Jianyao immediately moved out of the way.

Long Yuehong originally wanted to go directly to the toilet, but suddenly remembered what her mother had just shared about the "natural sect", so she added:

"I'll tell you something later."

"Okay." Shang Jianyao seemed to have entered a serious state.

After urinating and washing her hands, Long Yuehong explained the general philosophy and strange rituals of the "Natural Sect" on the street not far from the public toilet.

He finally asked:

"Who do you think this person believes in?"

Shang Jianyao said "hmm":

"I'm not in Jiang Baimian mode right now, so I can't answer you."

I'm so stupid, really... I shouldn't communicate with this guy. I can just go directly to the office to hold a group discussion tomorrow... Long Yuehong exhaled slowly, waved her hand and said:

"I'm going back to sleep."

When he said this, he shined his flashlight on the street leading to Area C.

Suddenly, a figure flashed past the intersection in the distance.

Under the faint light of the flashlight, Long Yuehong saw that the other party was naked.

It was a male.

"Uh..." Long Yuehong turned her head and looked at Shang Jianyao, "Did you see it?"

Shang Jianyao closed his eyes tightly and shook his head:

"No, I'm afraid of needle eyes."
