Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 260: Mutation

Views:

Aino's body suddenly stiffened.

Then, just like an ostrich, she shrank back and lowered her head.

"Fake, it must be fake..." she muttered, moving her mouse and clicking continuously on the latest portable computer to change the game's scheduled actions.

The gloomy wind pierced through the hotel lobby, and the light above the electric light became dimmer, and there was a feeling that it would go out at any time.

"Fake, how could there be a ghost..." Aino continued to comfort himself, but refused to do anything, and still focused on the three electronic devices.

She acted like if she could indulge in one thing and forget the changes around her, it would be the same as nothing happening.

In the dim and flickering light, black shadows appeared on the walls of the hotel lobby.

They twist and move without a corresponding entity, as if created out of nowhere.

Aino's body shrank even more, and she forced herself to focus on episodes, novels, and games.

Suddenly, she felt a cool air blowing on the back of her neck, causing the hairs to stand up there.

Aino almost stood up and screamed and ran outside the hotel, but she finally "controlled" herself and made a choice that normal people would not have:

She still huddled there, watching episodes "focused", playing games, and reading novels, even though she could feel someone lingering behind her, and the cool air was blowing faintly around her neck, endlessly.

"Illusions... are hallucinations..." Aino forced himself to forget the changes in reality while cheering himself up.

In the "Wild Pigeon" bar, the bloody corpse caused a lot of commotion.

Although most of the customers here have the identity of relic hunters, because Tarnan is too well protected by "machine paradise", and the city ruins in the surrounding area have also been explored for many years, the potential danger is not too great, many of them Never seen a real killing and such a horrific corpse.

In this regard, they are very different from the townspeople of "Red Stone Set".

For a while, the chaos spread like a plague. Those who played cards, those who played mahjong, those who bargained, and those who were waiting to dance all stood up, or shrank to the corner, gathered together, and discussed in a panic. Something happened, or with courage, a group of people walked to the door area and looked at the mutilated body.

The bar owner Cai Yi's status as an "intermediate hunter" didn't come up slowly through the accumulation of various small tasks and time. After a brief panic, he stabilized his emotions and carefully examined the corpse in front of him.

After a few seconds, he said in a deep voice:

"It's a member of the 'Mountain Fox' bandit group."

He recognized the identity of the deceased.

At the same moment, Jiang Baimian confirmed his judgment.

"After the 'Mountain Fox' bandit group left, were they attacked?" She asked herself and answered, "Yes, they left after the wind suddenly blew and there was a knocking sound."

It seems that the problem has arisen since then.

Cai Yi retracted his gaze from examining the corpse and looked at the relic hunter team ahead:

"Why are you back? Sensing the danger?"

He felt that the hunter team found some clues, made a decisive decision, and returned to the original path, thus successfully avoiding the fate of repeating the mistakes of the "Mountain Fox" bandit group.

"We'll be back as we walk." Shang Jianyao replied quickly.

Then, he learned the sinister tone of the hotel proprietress Aino:

"I suspect a 'ghost hitting the wall'."

Everyone in the bar froze when they heard it, and some people couldn't help but move closer to the door, wanting to run away and go to the robot guards.

Jiang Baimian glanced at it and reminded:

"If you go out blindly now, it's likely to be the same as him."

She pointed to the corpse on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, she expressed her judgment:

"I suspect that the high-level 'unintentional' from the southwestern mountains has come to Tarnan.

"The wind outside, the knocking sound just now, and our lost way are all caused by hallucinations."

This guess not only did not calm down the people in the bar, but made them nervous again:

Before, a full ten members of the Robot Guard went missing when they were clearing up this "high-level unintentional"!

This shows that in the face of this terrible enemy, the robot guard is not so safe!

Relatively speaking, no one has ever encountered a ghost before. The ghost knows whether the robot guard will be affected by the ghost. Anyway, they habitually think that the robot is not afraid of this.

Cai Yi looked up at the ceiling, trying to calm himself down:

"Is this corpse also hallucinations?"

His wife and children are all upstairs, and he has to determine the situation as soon as possible and deal with it.

"Let me confirm." Jiang Baimian's voice just finished, Shang Jianyao had already replaced her, walked to the corpse, and squatted down.

He took out the rubber gloves and put them on, pressing his hands on the corpse.

Then, using this as a fulcrum, he did a handstand.

Handstand... The bar owner Cai Yi was a little dumbfounded, as were the nervous guests.

What kind of confirmation is this

Could it be that letting blood pour into the brain effectively improve intelligence

Bai Chen saw that the surface of the corpse was only sunk, but Shang Jianyao did not sink in directly, so he turned his head to Jiang Baimian and said:

"it is true."

She didn't know when she had already pulled out her gun, "Ice Moss" in one hand and "United 202" in the other.

Jiang Baimian let out an "um", and while watching Shang Jianyao stand up, he looked at the bar owner, Cai Yi:

"Do you have a grenade gun here? I'm going to put a 'signal bomb' outside to see if the robot guards can respond."

Either way, robots are sure to see through hallucinations better than humans.

At the same time, Jiang Baimian was also someone who wanted to inform Nan Keguan of the Mirage Cult.

In this regard, she felt that Zhou Yue Zhou Guanzhu, who looked unreliable, might be more reliable than Li Zhe of the "Furnace Cult" and Mike of the "Glory Scale".

Professional matters should be handed over to professional people as much as possible.

Cai Yi was stunned for a moment:

"Why use flares

"Just call the Robot Guard directly.

"Afraid of being disturbed?"

Uh... Only then did Jiang Baimian realize that he was accustomed to the ecological environment of Yecaocheng, Hongshiji, Shuiwei Town, and other places of gray soil, but he was not able to adapt to Tarnan for a while, forgetting that not only a wireless base station was set up here, but also Almost every place where people live has a wired telephone.

In this regard, Tarnan is more technological than Pangea.

"Can I call Zhou Guanzhu of Nankeguan?" Jiang Baimian quickly recovered and asked.

Cai Yi nodded:

"I have a phone book."

"That's troublesome." Jiang Baimian replied politely, then turned to look at Shang Jianyao.

After the two looked at each other, they shook their heads.

Jiang Baimian was not sure if what Shang Jianyao wanted to express was the same as her own. Anyway, she wanted to say:

This is the most populous street in Tarnan, and there are people everywhere. She couldn't find the "higher unintentional person" based on the electrical signal.

From this point of view, there should be similar problems with human consciousness induction.

"Is there anyone still on the street now?" Jiang Baimian asked with confirmation.

Shang Jianyao answered truthfully:

"many."

"Well." Jiang Baimian said that this was also his answer.

Cai Yiwei, who couldn't understand their conversation, shook his head invisibly:

"I'm going to call."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold wind blew in from the top of the two wooden baffles, bringing a feeling of swooshing.

The next second, the chandeliers and wall lamps in the bar became dim at the same time, as if there was a problem with the voltage.

Long Yuehong's heart tightened, and when she looked up, her pupils suddenly enlarged.

Everyone in the bar, including the three he had beaten, all hunched slightly, and their eyes became extremely cloudy and bloodshot.

"Heartless"!

They have all become "unintentional"!

Long Yuehong suddenly raised his hands holding the gun.

At the same time, he heard the team leader remind the bar owner Cai Yi:

"Be careful."

Cai Yi turned around slowly.

His eyes bulged out, equally cloudy.

Long Yuehong was almost unable to control her conditioned reflex, and almost pulled the trigger.

At this moment, Shang Jianyao's voice rang happily:

"If you turn off the lights and can't see, will you be fine?"

"Ah?" Long Yuehong swept the corner of his eyes and found that Shang Jianyao had been standing beside the power switch at some point.

Nanke View.

Zhou Yue left the futon purely with the strength of her feet and waist and stood up.

She patted the white robe on her body and said to a "dream-inducing person" next to her:

"Phelps, I'm going out, you bring my gossip mirror."

The "Dream Attractor" had black hair and blue eyes, and was obviously a mixed race.

He answered first:

"Yes, my lord."

Then, slightly aggrieved, he added:

"Watcher, I'm Zhen Lian."

"... Zhen Lian, yes, Zhen Lian." Zhou Yue squeezed out a smile, "In addition to the gossip mirror, there are also talismans, sacks, and yes, a flashlight."

This strange combination made Zhen Lian and the others very surprised, but they didn't ask too much. After all, the audience seemed to be in a hurry.
