Bai Chen's driving speed slowed down, allowing Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao on the other side to continue to observe the situation in Building 4.
It had completely collapsed there, but it did not involve the surroundings at all, not even the dust splashed much.
It's like there's an invisible hand constraining it all, creating a phenomenon that goes against the laws of physics.
"Because we took the little Jade Buddha, so Building 4 collapsed?" Jiang Baimian observed for a while and made a sound.
"Theoretically, it can't be the problem with those two phones, right?" Shang Jianyao said, rubbing his chin with his left hand, instead of sticking his face to the window this time.
"And this is one of the holy places of Buddhism." Bai Chen added.
Obviously, compared with other things, the relationship between the Little Jade Buddha and Buddhism is closer and more intuitive.
As the vehicle turned, Long Yuehong also saw the current situation of Building 4 and said hesitantly:
"But this collapse is too weird, isn't it
"After losing the power to maintain, shouldn't it be a sudden disintegration and a landslide?"
Jiang Baimian pondered for a while and said:
"Maybe this is the original state of Building 4, the Little Jade Buddha kept it going against the norm for more than 60 years.
"Now it's just coming back, not collapsing, so there's very little movement...
"This is one explanation. Another explanation is that the person who maintained the speciality of Room 302 through the Little Jade Buddha is still watching Building 4. In order to prevent the bones from being damaged and the scene from being messed up, he chose to do his best to let the The collapse is orderly and quiet, like building a huge tomb."
Slap clap, Shang Jianyao applauded.
Long Yuehong thought about it for a while and felt that the latter situation was more acceptable.
After all, the concepts involved in "past state", "current state", and "return" are too high-end, and even if the power of the "Awakened" is very special, it seems that it cannot be completed.
In the blink of an eye, Long Yuehong saw Shang Jianyao put his hand into his pocket and took out the little jade Buddha.
"Wait! Wait a minute!" His eyes were round and he almost stuttered.
For weird items from weird places, it's better to wait until you leave the ruins of the steel mill before taking them out!
Otherwise, the ghost knows what accidents will happen!
"It doesn't contain any breath or power." Shang Jianyao didn't care about Long Yuehong's fear at all, and shook the lake green jade Buddha that was the pendant.
"When you got it, the breath or strength dissipated? This caused the collapse of Building 4?" Jiang Baimian thought and made a guess.
"Earlier." Shang Jianyao recalled all the details just now, "When I met it, it was already an ordinary jade ornament."
Long Yuehong looked around, and after finding nothing unusual, she breathed a sigh of relief and joined the discussion.
He looked at Shang Jianyao and said:
"It should be you who stimulated the aura of the 'Six Consciousness Pearl' and broke the strangeness of the master bedroom, and the corresponding power began to be lost."
Hearing this, Bai Chen asked a question in confusion:
"Is the master bedroom in Room 302 covered by illusion?"
"No, it's not like." It was Long Yuehong who answered Bai Chen.
He quickly explained:
"I clearly saw Shang Jianyao encounter the Little Jade Buddha, but he didn't feel anything. If it was the influence of hallucinations, wouldn't it be able to erase the existence of matter?"
Hearing this, Jiang Baimian shook his head:
"A particularly powerful illusion should be able to affect the sense of touch."
"This is too scary, isn't it?" Long Yuehong thought about it for a while, and felt that such a thing was very scary, "Think about it, if we saw, heard, tasted, smelled, and touched , are all affected by hallucinations, we can't tell what is reality and what is illusion!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Jianyao opened his hands and slightly raised his body:
"There are dreams everywhere, why take it seriously?"
Jiang Baimian followed with a smile and said:
"The major sects in the 'Broken Mirror' field are estimated to have similar perceptions, and it is difficult to confirm what is true.
"Hey, let's not discuss this issue. We have too little knowledge and information. If you think about it now, it will only give you a headache. It's better to live seriously and live in the moment."
After the philosophical discussion had begun, she asked Shang Jianyao:
"Do you think it's a fantasy?"
Shang Jianyao's expression turned solemn, he raised his left palm, and Baoxiang said solemnly:
"Should it be the legendary Alaya consciousness?"
"Why?" Jiang Baimian asked.
Long Yuehong and Bai Chen quietly "pricked up" their ears.
"No." Shang Jianyao was unreasonable and strong, "Intuitive."
Before waiting for Jiang Baimian and others to speak, he added:
"In my opinion, the situation inside Room 302 is like two overlapping worlds, which are related to each other to a certain extent, but in the eyes of those who have not opened the alaya consciousness, they do not affect each other."
"Have you read too much old world entertainment materials?" Long Yuehong couldn't help but complain.
"The stone of the mountain can attack jade." Shang Jianyao did not deny it, and even brought a smile.
As they spoke, the jeep had returned to the road leading outside the ruins of the steel mill.
Jiang Baimian didn't interrupt, and after a while he said slowly:
"The state you just described reminded me of one thing."
"What?" Bai Chen, who was driving, asked curiously.
Different from the previous missions, the expression on her face and the emotions in her words were obviously a little more.
Jiang Baimian replied in a deep voice:
"New world."
Inside the jeep, there was a sudden silence.
"Team leader, do you mean that the new world is actually overlapping with the dust, and there is a certain relationship, but most people can't see it?" Long Yuehong knew what Jiang Baimian wanted to say, but she still subconsciously sought to confirm.
Jiang Baimian nodded lightly:
"Perhaps only those who have explored the 'Spiritual Corridor' to a certain extent can sense it, so the door to the new world appeared in the corresponding room."
"What about the door to the new world in reality? Does it exist?" Bai Chen asked a new question.
"I don't know." Jiang Baimian shook his head, "At least Mr. Du Heng, there are many people who believe it exists."
In the dust, almost everyone believes that there is a gateway to a new world in the depths of some ruins, which will save them from the threat of "innocence", famine, aberration and monsters.
Every ruin hunter has similar expectations when entering ruins, not just to gather resources.
"Maybe that's a node?" Shang Jianyao expressed his opinion.
No one agrees with him, and no one refutes him, because this cannot be proved to be true for the time being, nor can it be proved to be false.
Seeing that the exit of the ruins of the iron and steel plant was close at hand, Jiang Baimian decided to end this topic:
"Hey, put away the little Jade Buddha and study it carefully.
"Um... make a four-layer wrap with tinfoil, plastic, paper, and a rubber bag."
After Shang Jianyao had dealt with the little Jade Buddha, Jiang Baimian thought about it and said:
"Let's go to the redstone collection now, send a telegram to Lao Ge on the way, and ask him to buy a tool to repair the internal data of the broken phone, and go there to meet us.
"Before entering the ruins of Tieshan City, I hope to find some useful intelligence or clues from those two mobile phones to reduce the risk of follow-up actions."
"Okay." Long Yuehong and Bai Chen had no objection.
Shang Jianyao pulled out the small speaker and wondered what song to listen to next.
…
Three days after the "Old Tune Group" left the ruins of the steel mill, a group of people behaving strangely arrived.
There were six or seven of them, all wearing grey, patched clothing, and their hair was shaved short and thin, almost invisible from a distance.
Every seven steps these people took, they would kneel on the ground, face the blast furnaces in the ruins of the steel factory, and do a prostrate prostration with a very pious expression.
In this way, they entered the ruins of the steel factory, and then walked around the factory area, walking and bowing.
After a while, these people came to the family's second area, not far from Building 4.
The first one was not young, the wrinkles on his face were few but obvious, and the thin hair on the top of his head was white at the roots.
He is a man from the Red Shore, his expression is like an ancient well, and he can't see the slightest waves.
—The Red Shore people are a branch of the gray people who migrated to the Red River Basin. Their complexion is more brown, and their hair is naturally curly.
Looking at the collapsed Building 4, these people stopped walking, just stared blankly and didn't move for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, the leading old man sighed deeply:
"The omen has appeared, the catastrophe is coming..."
He speaks Greyhound with a dialect accent.
…
In the evening, the continuous heavy rain still did not stop, and it seemed that it was already midnight.
"I remember that there is a small city ruin nearby, where you can camp." Bai Chen looked at the wipers swinging back and forth and made a suggestion.
"Okay." Jiang Baimian expressed absolute trust.
Then, she lowered her head and continued to study the two maps in her hand.
They are the maps of the Red Stone Collection and the ruins of Tieshan City respectively. Jiang Baimian wants to remember them repeatedly to reduce the possibility of getting lost when he moves.
The jeep drove for a while, and finally there were black shadows crawling in the rainy night in front of them.
Bai Chen was about to distinguish the road and look for the stronger buildings to shelter from the rain, when Shang Jianyao in the back row suddenly said:
"There's someone over there.
"Near twenty."
