Embers Ad Infinitum

Most businessmen were happy to see Yao's desire to hunt, suppressed the resistance of a few people, and decided to explore this psychological shadow.

thump!

His first attempt was to transform into a flying fish, stretch his body, and jump into the sea.

This dark seawater did not have any fluctuations, as if it was frozen there.

This goes well with the eerie and dilapidated cruise ship.

Shang Jianyao didn't care, took a good posture and started to move forward.

Thanks to his experience in the "Origin Sea", he is now extremely skilled in swimming. Whether it's butterfly stroke, breaststroke, backstroke, freestyle, dog paddle or flurry, he looks the same and his speed is not slow.

Soon, he swam near the abandoned cruise ship parked offshore.

It was only then that Shang Jianyao discovered a problem:

I can’t get on the cruise ship myself!

The gangway of the cruise ship did not hang down, and the cargo door at the front did not open!

The reckless Shang Jianyao was disliked by his colleagues, so he had to retreat into the depths of his consciousness and hand over the leadership to a calm and rational person.

Shang Jianyao rubbed his chin:

"How did the owner of the room and the person from '522' get on this cruise ship in the first place?"

It's clear these two weren't on the cruise ship to begin with.

The honest Shang Jianyao sneered:

"Isn't this simple?

“They must have come in a boat somewhere on the pier and been hoisted up.

"We should have been searching around the dock just now instead of jumping into the water and swimming over."

He was dismissive of his reckless colleagues, and even laughed at those who were infected with the reckless spirit and did not stop them.

"Now is not the time to discuss who is right and who is wrong, the important thing is to find a solution." Zen Master Pudu, a cyborg monk, turned around the "Six Consciousness Pearl".

In the Shang Jian Yao Democratic Consultative Conference, he has always been the peaceful, compassionate, responsible and harmonious person.

The calm and rational Shang Jianyao said "hmm":

"It would be a waste of energy to swim back again. Let's try to see if there is any other way first."

The cheerful Shang Jianyao laughed:

"We can blow a big hole out of the hull and get right in!"

"Okay, okay!" The person who echoed him was not the one who was accustomed to obeying, but Zen Master Pudu.

This cyborg monk has always been a fan of the doctrine of superior fire.

"What should I do if the ship sinks?" The honest Shang Jianyao asked.

At this time, the merchants were in a state where their lower bodies were overlapped and their upper bodies were separated, forming a circle to facilitate communication.

Shang Jianyao, who has a cheerful personality, quickly explained:

“Just kidding, just kidding.

"What I really mean is that various tools can be embodied, such as helicopters, such as military exoskeleton devices, to help us get on the deck."

The reckless Shang Jianyao finished his confession and started trying without any hesitation.

After a few seconds, he asked:

"If you want the embodied items to work, do you have to use the ability of 'interference with matter' and inject enough spirit?"

"What do you think?" What the cowardly and timid Shang Jianyao dislikes most is reckless guys.

"I think so. Moreover, helicopters and military exoskeleton devices are both big pieces, and the energy they need to be poured into them is no less or even more than swimming back!" The honest one answered instead of the reckless Shang Jianyao.

Shang Jianyao fell into silence for a while, thinking about other plans.

"I have an idea." The calm and rational Shang Jianyao looked up.

"What?" Several Shang Jianyao asked in unison.

Shang Jianyao rubbed his chin:

“Let’s take a human ladder!

"There are ten of us anyway."

"Okay!" The reckless Shang Jianyao responded immediately.

"Wouldn't ten people be enough?" Shang Jianyao, wearing an enlarged version of his childhood clothes, visually measured the height from here to the first deck.

The calm Shang Jianyao laughed:

"This is simple, let's talk about it halfway."

As a result, the ten merchants separated, and the reckless Shang Jianyao clung to the hull of the ship and captured the shellfish adsorbed on the surface.

Then, Shang Jianyao, who liked novelty, used him as a ladder, climbed up and stood on his shoulders.

One after another, ten Shang Jianyao were piled up.

Because this is the world of consciousness, and Shang Jianyao's own balance ability is extremely strong, the ladder looked shaky, but it did not fall.

Glancing at the deck that was still far away, the calm Shang Jianyao at the top pulled out a dagger, poured a little energy into it, and inserted it into the weld of the steel hull.

Then, he growled:

"Combined with me as the center."

With a flick of the floor, other Shang Jianyao "swarmed" into his body.

Immediately afterwards, a Shang Jianyao was separated, climbed on top of the calm Shang Jianyao, and stepped on his shoulders.

One after another, Shang Jianyao completed the human ladder again.

In this way, without spending much energy, they successfully reached the edge of the first deck.

The ten rays united into one, jumped up, and stood firmly on his feet.

At this moment, he suddenly felt like time began to pass and the whole world came to life.

There were splashing and talking sounds all around without warning. On the deck, waves of sea breeze blew by, bringing with it a damp and fishy smell. The sea water below started to slosh and there were not big waves.

Shang Jianyao looked up and saw human beings dressed in different clothes.

There were men and women, mostly young and strong, gathering in groups in different areas of the deck, each communicating.

The language and expressions of these people are vivid and extremely real.

Shang Jianyao scanned around and walked towards the entrance area of ​​the cabin.

There were three men standing there. One of them was holding a crumpled cigarette that had been stored for an unknown period of time and was reluctant to light it.

Next to him, the other two people were both in their thirties, their clothes were old and had signs of mending.

Shang Jianyao stopped not far away and listened to their exchange.

"When we get to the island, we won't be afraid of those 'careless people' anymore!" The man with short but clean hair, holding a cigarette in his mouth, sighed sincerely.

His waist was bulging, and there were obviously hidden weapons.

"How is it possible? Even if there were no 'Heartless' on the island originally, after such a large boatload of people passed by, new 'Heartless' would appear sooner or later." The person who refuted the man was not his two companions, but Jilai Shu Shang Jianyao.

The man's expression changed slightly, he looked at Shang Jianyao's body and calmed down again.

He muttered:

“At least we don’t have to face tens of thousands of ‘unintentional people’ swarming over like this!

"Moreover, people who have been to the island before have said that the land there is fertile, with plenty of sunshine and rain, making it very suitable for planting."

"It's not too polluted." One of the man's companions added wistfully.

His most obvious feature is a black mole at the end of his right eyebrow.

"You can actually answer questions..." Shang Jianyao was "shocked."

"What do you mean?" The man holding the cigarette frowned.

Shang Jianyao calmed down his expression and said seriously:

"I thought you wouldn't answer me."

In terms of rules and logic, the characters in the psychological shadow are built and move according to the corresponding memories of the room owner. To put it simply, they are equivalent to NPCs and can only answer fixed questions.

Therefore, either Shang Jianyao's question just now was raised by someone back then, or the characters in this psychological shadow can "calculate in real time", which is quite special.

"Why can't you answer? I like to be reasonable." The smoking man took the cigarette out of his mouth and held it between his fingers.

Shang Jianyao opened his mouth and suddenly made faces at them:

A little bit!

The three men were stunned for a few seconds, obviously unexpected, and then became furious.

At this time, Shang Jianyao had already turned around and ran into the cabin.

Hearing the sound of chasing behind him, his expression instantly returned to normal and he silently muttered to himself:

"In that kind of escape environment, the atmosphere must have been quite depressing and boring. No one would suddenly make a face, but they actually reacted to this...

"This psychological shadow is indeed a bit weird..."

"That's wrong. What if there was a mental illness back then?" Shang Jianyao retorted.

Amid the "argument", he slowed down, opened the door on the side of the corridor, and hid inside.

In the room, a man and a woman who were fighting fiercely were stunned at the same time, looking back at him blankly.

"Sorry, please continue." Shang Jianyao quickly exited the room and closed the door again.

How rude!

At this time, the chasing footsteps were getting closer and closer.

Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound outside the "Nine Heavens", dull and long.

Immediately afterwards, Shang Jianyao's body shook inexplicably, and the world in front of him gradually became illusory and transparent.

When he opened his eyes, he found that Jiang Baimian had woken up at some point, and Bai Chen and Long Yuehong were surrounding him.

"That's wrong! How can you just quit without getting hurt?" Shang Jianyao muttered to himself.

Normally, if you want to leave a psychological shadow, you must return to the starting point and retreat to the "soul corridor". If you are not afraid of mental damage, you can force the awakened person in the psychological shadow to wake up through the stimulation of outsiders. Of course, The premise is that the awakened person has not yet become comatose or trapped in the mind room.

Jiang Baimian glanced sideways at Shang Jianyao without making any inquiries.

Long Yuehong pointed outside the building:

“There was an explosion over there.

"The place where the previous team was stationed."
