Chapter 314: breakthrough

Level 495, Block C, No. 11.

This is the "big room" that Long Yuehong bought for her parents.

Compared with the previous one, two additional small bedrooms can be separated here, so that Long Yuehong's younger brother and sister finally have their own space.

As soon as Long Yuehong opened the door, she saw her mother, Gu Hong, knitting a sweater with a stick while listening to the radio, and her father, Long Dayong, sitting next to him, tapping the beat to the sound of the music echoing in the room.

The radio program at this time is the bedtime music category.

After Long Dayong and Gu Hong noticed the rotation of the lock cylinder, they turned their attention to the door at the same time, one was swearing, and the other was ready to cooperate.

When it was clear that Long Yuehong was at the door, the two stood up immediately.

Gu Hong put down the needle in her hand and smiled uncontrollably:

"Are you back

"It's been a long time to go out this time. I've been afraid that people from the 'Security Department' will find me for a few months. I can't go to the Three Treasures Palace without anything..."

After talking, Gu Hong fell silent, her eyes were a little red.

She is a fair and clean middle-aged woman. She had permed her hair into big waves before taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, which looked quite foreign.

Long Dayong quickly said:

"What do you say? Isn't this a good comeback?"

He was in his early seventies, and he was a relatively strong and sturdy type.

Gu Hong quickly adjusted her mentality and said as she walked towards the place where the cabinets were placed:

"I changed some wool during Chinese New Year and knitted a piece of clothing for you. Come and try it on to see if it fits."

Long Yuehong closed her eyes and said with a smile:

"It's spring."

"Thin, it can also be worn in spring. Besides, in our company, how can spring, summer, autumn and winter be so clearly distinguished?" Gu Hong babbled and opened the door of the cabinet.

Long Yuehong pulled a chair and sat down, looked around and said:

"What about Xiao Ai them?"

He was asking about his brother and sister.

"I'm getting old and my wings are hard, so I don't love my family anymore. I can't see anyone until the lights are turned off!" Gu Hong complained.

Long Yuehong has nothing to say about this, because at this age, he doesn't like to stay at home, and would rather sit in the corner of the street with Shang Jianyao and Yang Zhenyuan, listening to radio programs and chatting about random topics.

He smiled and said:

"It's a good thing, maybe we'll fall in love."

Gu Hong, who had just taken out the new sweater, hesitated for a moment and said:

"Ah, by the way, the girl from the old Zhang family used to like you quite a bit. Years ago, I kept asking when you would come back, but my dad and I couldn't tell. Later, she seemed to have a partner."

Although Long Yuehong was already mentally prepared, she couldn't help but feel a little sigh.

He smiled and sighed:

"Let's go with the flow in this regard."

He is now very convinced that the mission of the "Old Tune Group" is very dangerous, and he feels that he has fallen in love with another girl before he completely quits, and it is quite deceiving each other.

But he thought that if he accidentally died during the mission, and he was a person who had never even had a first love, he felt unwilling.

"Let it be..." Gu Hong repeated the word, and looked at Long Yuehong suspiciously, "Did you get hit outside?"

Long Yuehong was dumbfounded for a while, and raised her hand to show the muscles on her arm:

"It's called a lot of experience, and the mentality is mature."

Gu Hong glanced at him and threw the thin sweater at him:

"I can speak better than before..."

Long Yuehong didn't talk back, took off her jacket with a smile, and tried on the sweater under the watchful eyes of her parents.

In the "Sea of Origins", Shang Jianyao has traveled for a long time, but there is still a vast ocean ahead.

In this regard, he not only was not disappointed, but also showed a smile.

This means that he finally crossed the third island.

- Every time before, after swimming a certain distance, he would return to the original island, but now, he has left the corresponding range.

As his thoughts moved, the turquoise night pearl appeared on the top of Shang Jianyao's head.

At the same time, he turned one into nine again, and showed things such as a loudspeaker to directly test the change in ability.

After the unremitting efforts of nine Shang Jianyao taking themselves as the experimental object, they came to a preliminary conclusion:

The ability range of the "reasoning clown" has been expanded to eight to ten meters, and the number of targets that can act at the same time has been increased to nine. However, due to the great differences between many targets, if not targeting them, one-on-one or one-on-one The second place to formulate rhetoric, but to extract collective conditions, the effect will not be so ideal.

Similarly, after using the loudspeaker to enhance the effect distance, the number of objects that can be affected has also become nine, but the target must be concentrated within a radius of three meters, and the corresponding effect will also plummet.

The effective range of "Hypocritical People" is close to fifteen meters, and it can target nine people at the same time, and the other changes are not much.

The use distance of "two-handed movement loss" has been increased to 30 meters, and it can make different targets lack different movements without needing to be uniform.

This is the test result of Shang Jianyao in the spiritual world, and there must be a certain difference from the situation in the real environment. After all, it can be "accomplished" here, but the essence will not change.

After working on this matter, Shang Jianyao felt tired, so he withdrew from the "Sea of Origins".

After opening his eyes, Shang Jianyao saw that the street lights outside the room were still on and had not gone out.

He picked up the brass-colored key, left Room 196 with the soft music coming from the radio, put his hands in his pockets, and walked slowly towards the "Activity Center" in Area C.

At this time, it was not too long before the lights were turned off, and there were not many employees in the "activity center". There were only two tables of card players and teenagers gathered in the corner to chat.

Shang Jianyao found a place where no one was, pulled out the chair, sat down, and watched all this quietly.

What came into his ears were arguments and laughter, and what caught his eyes were faces with different expressions and sets of clothes with similar styles.

Everything is so vibrant.

Shang Jianyao watched silently, the expression on his face did not change, it was calm and soft.

After a minute or two, Chen Xianyu, the director of the "Activity Center", discovered his existence and walked over slightly staggering.

"I thought you were dead outside." The gray-haired old man laughed and teased.

Shang Jianyao glanced at him and smiled:

"I saw Chen Xufeng."

This is the intelligence officer of "Pangu Creature" lurking in Weed City, and the youngest son of Chen Xianyu.

Chen Xianyu's eyes suddenly widened:

"what

"Is that dead boy still alive?"

Shang Jianyao's expression became serious, and he slowly shook his head.

Chen Xianyu's eyes suddenly lost their luster.

"I lied to you." Shang Jianyao smiled again.

"..." Chen Xianyu was stunned for a moment, then hummed, "I just said, he is going to die outside, will the security department not notify me?"

Not giving Shang Jianyao a chance to speak, he pretended to be nonchalant and asked:

"How is he now?"

He asked vaguely, because he knew that his younger son's assignment was classified as confidential, and the other party couldn't say many details if he wanted to.

"It's good, I'm about to upgrade the staff level again." Shang Jianyao also gave only a vague answer.

Chen Xianyu was obviously relaxed, and sat next to Shang Jianyao with a smile:

"I've been out for a few months this time, and it looks like I've been to a lot of places."

"It's all very interesting places." Shang Jianyao said with a smile, looking at the group of poker employees.

Chen Xianyu glanced at the teenagers in the corner and laughed:

"Really? The homeless settlements I went to back then were worse than the last."

Shang Jianyao sincerely responded:

"Have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering beauty."

"This... Where did you learn this?" Chen Xianyu was angry and happy.

Shang Jianyao thought for a while and said:

"My boss, Ms. Jiang Baimian."

The two people chatted for a few words, and the poker game ended one after another. The employees rushed to their own homes and different public toilets while the street lights in the corridor hadn't been turned off.

Soon, the entire "activity center" became empty and quiet, just like the night to come.

Shang Jianyao stood up slowly, waved goodbye to old man Chen, and returned to Area B.

Seeing Room 196 getting closer, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the surveillance camera on the ceiling.

There was no movement there, just the iconic red light.

Shang Jian Yao immediately made a face at it.
