Embers Ad Infinitum

Long Yuehong resisted the urge to give himself an iron fist with the mechanical arm to see if he could wake up, because this was his biggest support for clinging to the wall.

Of course, with his physical fitness, reaction speed, and adjustment ability, nothing might happen if he fell from the third floor. But if you don't fear ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected.

"Team leader, I see there is indeed one here." Long Yue Hongzai observed carefully for another ten seconds and found that every detail was correct.

After hearing his report, Jiang Baimian, standing at the door of Room 302, frowned slightly.

Although according to the predetermined plan, she could not go in at this time, lest the two of them get trapped together, and could not inform Bai Chen and Long Yuehong of the situation or remind them, Jiang Baimian still couldn't help but stand on tiptoes. , and tried his best to lean out into Room 302.

Relying on her strong balance ability, she saw Shang Jianyao standing at the door of the master bedroom in this twisted posture.

As an awakened person with the ability to hallucinate in the "Broken Mirror" field, she didn't notice anything unusual there.

——Having the ability to create hallucinations does not mean that you will not be affected by similar effects, but it is more sensitive and easier to detect errors than other awakened people and ordinary people.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Baimian maintained his current posture and said to Shang Jianyao's back:

"Go in and take a look."

Shang Jianyao had already had this intention. He first pulled off the "Six Consciousness Beads" from his wrist, turned the rosary beads one by one in his hand, and then passed through the doorway and entered the master bedroom.

He sniffed, looked around and said:

“Still no red quilt or human skull in sight.

"But there is indeed a problem here. The smell of dust is not strong, and there are no signs of rainwater drifting in and drying up near the window."

The window glass had long been broken, and the remaining parts had become dirty, gray and muddy under the sun and rain.

Compared with them, the window area seems too clean.

After hearing Shang Jianyao's description, Jiang Baimian thought about it for a few seconds:

"You go to the bed and try to touch the plastic film, just once.

"Xiao Hong, look and see if there are any changes."

Shang Jianyao, who didn't know who he was, was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly came to the tattered bed.

Then, he blew into his right hand that was holding the original copy of the medical record.

After completing the "preliminary ceremony", Shang Jianyao bent his back at lightning speed, reached down with his palms, and touched the plastic film covering the bed that was full of holes.

What Long Yuehong, who was lying outside the window, saw:

Shang Jianyao pressed the red quilt embroidered with dragons and phoenixes in auspicious patterns!

Other than that, no problems.

He quickly shared what he saw with Jiang Baimian and others.

The scene seen outside the window is very different from what is seen inside the house, but there is a certain overlap... Jiang Baimian is thinking about the follow-up plan. The reckless and bold Shang Jianyao suddenly breaks away from the restrictions of others and "decisively" takes a new step. action.

He used the right hand holding the original copy of the medical record to directly lift off the plastic film!

Seeing this scene, Long Yuehong's eyes almost popped out.

——It has been less than half a year since Shang Jianyao was promoted. The other three members of the "Old Tune Team" have already figured out which ten personalities this guy has now. Therefore, it is not difficult for Long Yuehong to guess that the one who controls the body now is reckless and bold. of that.

Isn't this too reckless and too bold?

If there is going to be a crisis in our group in the future, this guy's recklessness will definitely be one of the major factors!

As thoughts flashed through her mind, Long Yuehong did not forget to observe the situation inside the master bedroom.

The picture he saw was:

Shang Jianyao opened the bright red quilt embroidered with dragons and phoenixes in auspicious patterns!

As he expected, there were two skeletons under the quilt.

The two skeletons were bright in color. One was wearing a green down jacket and the other was wearing a black men's cotton-padded jacket. Their legs were all dark-colored trousers that looked quite thick. Their ankle bones were exposed and they had no shoes or socks.

A quick look at these clothes reveals no traces of the passage of time, nor traces of rotten flesh and blood.

Long Yuehong scanned it twice with concentration, and suddenly felt a flash of light on a certain skeleton as the clouds moved in the sky.

He looked closely and found the skeleton wearing a long green down jacket with a jade pendant hanging on its chest.

The jade pendant was light lake green, very transparent, and the whole was carved into a fat Buddha.

Buddha! Long Yuehong's pupils dilated sharply. He immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and informed Jiang Baimian and others of the situation he observed.

The Little Jade Buddha... items related to "Buddhism" appeared... What Xiao Hong saw should not be an illusion. Without someone to host it, the illusion cannot be calculated in real time and show such details... Well, it may not be that there is no one to host it. ...Jiang Baimian thought for a few seconds and asked Bai Chen:

"Xiaobai, is there anything unusual about Xiaohong in your eyes now?"

"No." Bai Chen replied calmly.

At this time, she was standing behind Building 4, looking up at Long Yuehong on the wall outside 302.

Jiang Baimian confirmed from Shang Jianyao that there was nothing in front of him, just a broken bed and a plastic film full of holes.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Baimian issued the order:

"Xiaohong, tell him the specific location of the little jade Buddha and guide him to touch the right place.

“Maybe that’s the switch.

"Also, be vigilant and be prepared for accidents."

Long Yuehong took a breath, and through the window, using the four sides of the bed and the current position of the big red quilt as a reference, she "commanded" Shang Jianyao to narrow down the area step by step.

Shang Jianyao, who is now in charge of the body, did not resist at all. According to Long Yuehong's description, he moved the palm holding the original copy of the medical record up sometimes, sometimes down, sometimes moved left, sometimes right.

Finally, Long Yuehong saw Shang Jianyao's fingers touching the little jade Buddha.

"How's it going? Do you feel anything?" he asked urgently.

Shang Jianyao shook his head:

"There's nothing but air."

"Am I really hallucinating..." Long Yuehong whispered.

Before Jiang Baimian could issue a new order, Shang Jianyao's eyes moved slightly, showing an eager expression.

The "Six Senses Pearl" he held in his other hand suddenly glowed with green light.

He didn't use any ability, he simply inspired the aura of this item.

As the green light fell on the bed, Shang Jianyao's right hand moved slightly.

He touched something hard!

At this time, Long Yuehong outside the window saw Shang Jianyao suddenly grab the small jade Buddha with his right hand.

Suddenly, what Shang Jianyao saw in front of him was completely different:

The tattered bed was covered with red sheets, and two skeletons with different clothes lay on it.

In Shang Jianyao's hand, there was a small jade Buddha of lake green color.

"Awesome!" he said sincerely.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Baimian immediately asked through the intercom.

Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong recounted what had just happened word by word.

"After stimulating the breath of the 'Six Consciousness Pearl', you can touch the small jade Buddha, and holding the small jade Buddha removes the 'blindness'..." Jiang Baimian refined the key points of this matter as if he was talking to himself, "Well, The current aura of the 'Six Senses Pearl' incorporates a little abnormality hidden within the 'Tieshan City Second Food Company'."

That is one of the holy places of Buddhism!

And the current area is also one of the Buddhist holy places!

Jiang Baimian, who had a clear understanding, immediately said:

“Don’t rush to take away the Little Jade Buddha, search the clothes of the two skeletons to see if there are any clues.

"When it is confirmed that we have to evacuate, we will take away the Little Jade Buddha."

Shang Jianyao was not reckless this time, and touched the pockets of the two skeletons with his left hand holding the "Six Senses Pearl".

After a while, he finished his search and found only a few things:

Two mobile phones from the old world, some banknotes that are not new but not old either, a wallet, and two IDs.

Shang Jianyao looked at the front and back of the ID card and said regretfully:

"Fan Wensi, Li Jinlong.

"The target should have died when the old world was destroyed, or not long after."

"It seems so..." Long Yuehong outside the window agreed.

From the current situation, it can be preliminarily inferred that the skeleton wearing a long green down jacket belongs to Fan Wensi, the target of the "Old Tune Team".

Jiang Baimian was silent for a moment and said:

"Then don't disturb their sleep.

"Just take the little jade Buddha and the two mobile phones."

She wanted to see if she could extract and restore the data in her phone.

"Okay." Shang Jianyao took off the small jade Buddha and stuffed it into the pocket of his gray camouflage uniform along with two mobile phones.

After doing this, he became a believer in "Si Ming" and covered the two skeletons with the bright red quilt again, and then:

a bow;

two bows;

Three bows...

After the ceremony, Shang Jianyao had just walked out of the master bedroom when he suddenly felt that the whole building began to shake.

"Withdraw!" Jiang Baimian also discovered something was wrong.

Kick and kick, Shang Jianyao started running, but Jiang Baimian stood at the door and did not retreat first.

On the one hand, she was worried that Shang Jianyao would encounter any accidents when he left Room 302. She could provide timely help by staying where she was. On the other hand, she was afraid that she would be lost in a more dangerous place while running wildly without anyone to guide her. .

Outside the master bedroom window of Room 302, Long Yuehong pushed hard with her palms and bounced out, landing on the edge of the balcony on the second floor.

He jumped back to the ground again, and together with Bai Chen, ran towards the front of Building 4.

Almost at the same time, Shang Jianyao ran out of Room 302 without encountering anything unusual.

Jiang Baimian, whose right hand was "paralyzed", breathed a sigh of relief. Amidst the increasingly obvious shaking of the building and the falling dust and debris, he followed Shang Jianyao and quickly went downstairs.

The four of them returned to the jeep one after another and got on the car quickly and tacitly.

While the vehicle was driving, Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen saw Building 4 collapse bit by bit.

This kind of collapse was very strange. It maintained an unusually slow speed and caused no big movement.

When the Jeep rushed out of the second family area, several members of the "Old Adjustment Team" looked back and saw that the building ended and completely collapsed.

Blocks of concrete piled there quietly, like a huge tomb.

Room 302 is buried inside.
