Chapter 585: on the cruise ship

Views:

Most of the businessmen saw the joy of hunting, suppressed the resistance of a few people, and decided to explore this psychological shadow.

thump!

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

This piece of dark sea water did not fluctuate at all, as if it were frozen there.

This goes well with the eerily broken cruise ship.

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

Thanks to his experience in the "Sea of Origins", he is very proficient in swimming now. Whether it is butterfly stroke, breaststroke, backstroke, freestyle, or dog planing and flurry, they all seem to be similar, and the speed is not slow.

Soon, he swam near the long-abandoned cruise ship that was parked offshore.

Until this time, Shang Jianyao discovered a problem:

I can't get on a cruise ship by myself!

The cruise ship's gangway didn't hang down, and the front cargo door didn't open!

The reckless Shang Jianyao was disliked by his colleagues, so he had to retreat to the depths of his consciousness and handed over the dominance to the calm and rational one.

Shang Jian Yao rubbed his chin:

"The owner of the room, and '522', how did you board this cruise ship in the first place?"

Clearly, the two weren't on the cruise ship to begin with.

The honest Shang Jianyao sneered:

"Isn't that easy

"They must have come in a boat somewhere on the dock and were hoisted up.

"We should have looked around at 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 him.

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

In the Shang Jian Yao Democratic Consultative Conference, he has always been the one who is peaceful and compassionate, responsible and muddy.

The calm and rational Shang Jianyao said "um":

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

The cheerful Shang Jianyao laughed:

"We can blast a big hole in the hull and drill right in!"

"Okay, okay!" The one who echoed him was not the one he was used to obeying, but Zen Master Purdue.

This cyborg monk has always been a fan of the theory of superior firepower.

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

At this time, the state of Shang Jian Yao is that the lower body is overlapped, and the upper body is separated, forming a circle to facilitate communication.

The cheerful Shang Jianyao quickly explained:

"Just kidding, kidding.

"What I really mean is that all kinds of tools, like helicopters, like military exoskeletons, can be embodied to help us get on deck."

The reckless Shang Jianyao ended his repentance and tried without hesitation.

After a few seconds, he asked:

"In order to make the manifested items work, do you have to use the ability of 'interfering substances' to infuse enough spirit?"

"What do you think?" The cowardly and timid Shang Jianyao disliked the reckless guy the most.

"I think it is, and the helicopters and military exoskeleton devices are big pieces. The spirit that needs to be poured is no less than swimming back, or even more!" Instead of the reckless Shang Jianyao, the honest answer was him.

The businessmen fell silent 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 Jian Yao rubbed his chin:

"Let's take the elevator!

"Anyway, there are ten of us."

"Okay!" The reckless Shang Jianyao responded immediately.

"Will ten people not be enough?" Shang Jianyao, who was wearing an enlarged version of his childhood clothes, visually measured the height from here to the first deck.

The calm Shang Jianyao laughed:

"It's simple, I'll talk about it halfway through."

As a result, the ten merchants were separated, and the reckless Shang Jian Yao was attached to the hull, detaining the shellfish adsorbed on the surface.

Immediately afterwards, Shang Jianyao, who likes novelty, used him as a ladder, climbed up, and stood on his shoulders.

One by one, ten businessmen stood up one after another.

Because this is the world of consciousness, and Shang Jianyao's own balance ability is very strong, so the human ladder looks trembling, but it does not fall down.

Glancing at the deck that was still far away, the calm Shang Jianyao at the top took out a dagger, poured a small amount of energy, and inserted it into the welding seam of the steel hull.

Then, he growled lowly:

"Merge with me as the center."

With a swipe of the ground, other businessmen "flooded" into his body.

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

One after another, the Shang Jian Yaos completed the human ladder again.

In this way, they did not spend much energy and successfully reached the edge of the first deck.

The ten luminaries united, jumped up, and stood firm on the heels.

At this moment, he suddenly had the feeling that time began to pass and the whole world came to life.

The sound of clattering and talking sounded without warning. On the deck, gusts of sea breeze blew past, bringing a damp and fishy smell. The sea below swayed, and there were small waves.

Shang Jianyao looked up and saw humans in different clothes.

There are men and women, mainly young and strong, and they gather in groups of three or five in different areas of the deck to communicate with each other.

The language of these people, the expressions of such people, are vivid and very real.

Shang Jianyao swept around and walked to the entrance area of the cabin.

There were three men standing there, one of whom was holding a crumpled cigarette that had been in storage for some time, and was reluctant to light it.

Next to him, the other two were in their thirties, and their clothes were old and had traces of sewing.

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

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

His waist was bulging, clearly hiding a weapon.

"How is that possible? Even if there were no 'unintentional ones' on the island, after such a large group of people passed by, a new 'intentional ones' would appear sooner or later." It was not his two companions who refuted the man, but the familiar ones. 's business see Yao.

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

He muttered:

"At least you don't have to face tens of thousands of 'unintentional people' pouring in so darkly!

"Moreover, people who went to the island before said that the land is fertile, sunny and rainy, which is very suitable for planting."

"It hasn't been polluted much." One of the man's companions added yearningly.

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

"There are questions and answers..." Shang Jianyao was "shocked".

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

Shang Jianyao "converged" his expression and said in a serious tone:

"I thought you wouldn't answer me."

In terms of rules and logic, the characters in the psychological shadow are constructed and moved according to the corresponding memory of the room owner. In short, they are roughly equal to each NPC who can only answer fixed questions.

Therefore, either Shang Jianyao's question has been raised in the past, or the characters in this psychological shadow can be "calculated in real time", which is quite special.

"Why don't you answer? Lao Tzu likes reasoning the most." The man smoking the cigarette took it out of his mouth and put it between his fingers.

Shang Jianyao opened his mouth and suddenly grimaced at them:

Slightly!

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

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

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

"In the environment of fleeing back then, the atmosphere was definitely depressing and dull, no one would suddenly make faces, and they actually responded to it...

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

"This is not right, what if there was a mental illness at the beginning?" Shang Jianyao retorted to himself.

In the sound of "arguing", he slowed down, opened the door on the side of the corridor, and hid in.

In the room, a man and a woman who were fighting fiercely froze at the same time, turned back blankly, and looked at him.

"I'm sorry, you continue." Shang Jianyao hurriedly exited the room and closed the door again.

So impolite!

At this time, the sound of chasing footsteps was getting closer.

Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound from outside the "Jiuzhongtian", 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 all around.

"That's not right! 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 "spiritual 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 the outside world. Of course, The premise is that the awakened person has not been comatose or trapped in the spiritual room.

Jiang Baimian glanced sideways at Shang Jianyao, but did not ask.

Long Yuehong pointed to the outside of the building:

"There was an explosion over there.

"Where the previous team was stationed."
