Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 313: growing up

Views:

Floor 647, Room 14.

Holding the lunch box, Long Yuehong ate the tomato omelette noodles topped with braised beef.

"Eating like this...canned food is not so disgusting..." he said in his own words.

After he finished speaking, he picked out a piece of cabbage that was put in the soup base, only to find it refreshing and sweet in the mouth, which effectively resolved the greasy caused by canned meat.

At this time, Shang Jian Yao had finished his last sip of soup and looked at Long Yuehong's lunch box with bright eyes:

"You can give me what you can't eat."

Long Yuehong stopped talking for a moment, and returned his attention to the noodles.

Jiang Baimian smiled and asked Shang Jianyao:

"Aren't you full yet

"Should I go get some more food?"

Shang Jianyao shook his head:

"Only robbing other people's stomach capacity is left."

"Huh!" Jiang Baimian ignored him, buried his head and took a small bite of the omelette that made the soup fragrant and tempting.

Bai Chen couldn't eat as much as the three of them. At this time, like Shang Jianyao, he had already finished eating, and was peeling the remaining tomatoes there to serve as fruit after meals.

A big meal should look like a big meal.

Not long after, Jiang Baimian and Long Yuehong also finished their dinner, and leaned against the back of their chairs, slumped and unwilling to move.

"It's still a good company..." Long Yuehong said sincerely.

This is the feeling of home.

"Yes." Jiang Baimian smiled and said, "I hope you won't be bored after staying at home for a long time."

"No, it should, no..." Thinking of the various experiences on the surface in the past few months, Long Yuehong's answer was not so firm.

It's not that he thinks the company's entertainment programs are monotonous. Compared with most of the settlements on the dusty soil, the leisure activities of the employees of "Pangu Creatures" are completely colorful, but there are none that would violate internal ethics.

Long Yuehong just feels that although she likes to stay at home and only hang out with familiar people, if she can't see the blue sky and feel the openness of the surrounding environment, after a long time, she may feel a little suffocated and uncomfortable. Little bird in a cage.

Shang Jian Yao heard the words and helped him add:

"As long as he has enough old world entertainment material, he won't be bored and won't even want to find a girlfriend."

"How can there be..." Long Yuehong protested slightly.

He didn't say it because he was afraid that the team leader and Bai Chen thought that they only wanted to find a girlfriend, and they were all thinking about getting married and having children.

Jiang Baimian smiled and said:

"Old world entertainment materials will become boring sooner or later if they are not supplemented.

"Hey, didn't I say it before? I've been out for a long time and want to come back, and I want to go out after a long time. I hope you don't become like me... "

While chatting and laughing, the four of them divided their work to wash the dishes and clean up the office.

This made Long Yuehong feel calm in body and mind, and an indescribable joy slowly grew and reverberated in the calm.

Wish I could be like this forever... He prayed silently.

After the dinner, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong returned to the 495th floor together.

As soon as they got out of the elevator, they saw their friend Yang Zhenyuan walking towards them under the fluorescent lamps.

"Ah, are you coming to pick us up?" Shang Jianyao was "shocked in shock".

Yang Zhenyuan was also surprised:

"You guys are finally back!"

There are few tasks inside Pangea that require going out for months.

Of course, it may take two years or even longer to be sent to certain places to do certain jobs, but there are obvious excuses for this. It's not like an "old-fashioned group". No one in the neighborhood knows what to do when going out. .

While despising Shang Jianyao's exaggeration, Long Yuehong responded with a smile to Yang Zhenyuan, who was tall, strong and fair:

"Yeah, we're exhausted, we should be able to take a long vacation after that."

He turned to ask:

"Go back to see your parents

"Where's your wife?"

He was still very impressed with Zhou Qi, a woman who was 10 years older than Yang Zhenyuan and came directly to see her future husband.

He remembered that they always went in and out together after they got married, Jiao Buli Meng, Meng Bujiao, except in the workplace, it was rare to see only one and the other was not there.

Yang Zhenyuan smiled:

"She, she is pregnant, didn't I come back to ask my mother for some experience?"

"Congratulations!" Long Yuehong felt happy for her friend from the bottom of her heart.

The same is true for Shang Jianyao, and he even recommended himself:

"You can ask me for advice."

"Ah?" Yang Zhenyuan looked blank.

A guy who doesn't even have a spouse says this

Shang Jianyao sincerely explained:

"I have a solid theoretical foundation."

This is the confidence of a devout member of the "Rite of Life" order.

Seeing Yang Zhenyuan, she was still a little confused, so Long Yuehong let out a haha, and helped Shang Jianyao to start a round:

"He's flipped through old-world parenting books."

"Really? Is the book still there?" Yang Zhenyuan suddenly realized.

"No, I didn't bring it back." Under the influence of the team leader, Long Yuehong could open his mouth and come.

Yang Zhenyuan gave a regretful "uh", then turned to Shang Jianyao with a smile and said:

"Then I'll come back and ask you."

"No problem!" Shang Jianyao stretched out his hands with a bright smile.

Yang Zhenyuan looked at him suspiciously, and stretched out his hands not too sure.

The four hands were clasped together, and Shang Jianyao shook heavily.

Only then did Yang Zhenyuan realize that compared with before, Shang Jianyao has changed quite a bit, which is a bit strange.

Maybe this was caused by too many things on the surface... Since Yang Zhenyuan got married after graduation, he had only a handful of opportunities to get along with Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong, but he didn't think there was any big problem.

The three of them stood in the corridor and street, chatting for a while.

When he was about to leave, Yang Zhenyuan looked up and down at Long Yuehong:

"You're really a lot more mature than before."

"Really?" Long Yuehong was slightly delighted.

Yang Zhenyuan nodded seriously and said:

"A lot of confidence, really."

"Haha, maybe I got tanned." Long Yuehong couldn't help but humbly, but the smile on his face had already betrayed him.

Shang Jianyao, who was next to him, didn't use words to dismantle the platform, but just put his hands to his mouth and forcibly raised the corners of his mouth.

This creates an exaggerated and funny smile that makes Long Yuehong feel a little guilty.

After watching Yang Zhenyuan get on the elevator, the two who no longer needed to wave their hands to express their friendship turned around and went back to their respective homes.

Block B, No. 196.

Before turning off the lights, Shang Jianyao cleaned the cramped room, lay down on the horizontal wooden bed, put the pillow stuffed with grain husks upright against the wall, and leaned over.

He immediately raised his hand and pinched the temples on both sides.

In the "Sea of Origins", there are mountains and water on sunny islands.

A pond has appeared here, surrounded by several acres of farmland with rice and wheat.

At this time, the color of wheat is golden, the ears of rice are heavy, and it is a scene of a bumper harvest.

In the mid-air of the island, a turquoise night pearl the size of a fish eye floated, and it radiated a little radiance to the surroundings.

- When he went through the security check at the entrance before, Shang Jianyao directly transferred the Dimarco aura solidified in the glass ball into his spiritual world.

Anyway, DiMarco is too dead to die, so don't worry about who will "invade" through this.

Shang Jianyao first made nine back chairs, and then split eight of himself.

After they were seated separately, the first Shang Jian Yao raised his right hand and called the turquoise night pearl over.

When the bead flew into his palm and burst into a brighter light than before, the "Sea of Origin" around the island suddenly made a clattering sound, setting off a huge wave more than ten meters high.

In those huge waves, countless shimmers expanded and expanded, reflecting different scenes that Shang Jianyao had experienced.

"Destiny Link", see the past of all living beings!

This is the ability that Dimarco's residual aura can exert so far.

In the spiritual world, it allows Shang Jianyao to recall his various memories in the past. After it is fixed in reality, it allows Shang Jianyao's consciousness to leave the body for a short time, showing the appearance of the legendary "ghost", that is, DiMarco That state at the time.

However, there are time constraints and distance constraints.

If there is no physical protection, Shang Jianyao's consciousness is directly exposed to the natural environment, and will be affected by various bad factors, which cannot exceed three seconds at most, otherwise it will collapse uncontrollably.

Once the collapse occurred, Jiang Baimian guessed that after Shang Jianyao's consciousness returned to the body, the whole person would become very weak.

And if it is more serious, he may even become a vegetable.

After the consciousness leaves the body, Shang Jianyao can directly invade the spiritual world of others like DiMarco, and see the past of the other party.

This requires the target to be within thirty meters of him, because his consciousness cannot leave his body beyond this distance.

Obviously, this is much weaker than DiMarco's own use, whether it is the maintenance time of conscious life or the effective range of ability.

In addition, Shang Jianyao has not been able to use this night pearl to assimilate the consciousness of the target and occupy his body.

When the scenes in the giant waves were fully presented, the nine Shang Jianyao began to work.

They were each responsible for an area and quickly browsed the corresponding memories.

Soon, after narrowing down again and again, they found the target scene.

In the scene, Shang Jianyao stood in front of his house, a man wearing a dark cap, blue shirt, black trousers and old leather shoes was bending over to pick up a thin metal tube and a small arrow on the ground.

This is the picture when Shang Jianyao was attacked by the awakened people of the "Rite of Life" sect.

Shang Jian Yao went back and found that there was indeed a missing part in the middle.

The corresponding memory was really deleted, and even the "Fate Link" could not be reproduced.

The businessmen were not discouraged, and began to carefully observe the profile and back of the suspect, trying to find the characteristics.

After a while, in order not to waste the power of the turquoise night pearl, they took the initiative to end this attempt and reunite.

Looking back, it showed a harvest scene, an island completely different from the past, Shang Jianyao showed a sunny smile, turned around and jumped into the "Sea of Origin", and tried to swim to the distance again.
