Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 588: confusion

"Sorry for disturbing you." Shang Jianyao apologized again, backed out, and closed the door.

He was still so polite, he even closed his eyes, saying see no evil.

Closing the door gently, Shang Jianyao walked to the exit of the cabin, preparing to return to the first deck to see if there was any abnormality in the people there.

Just after walking down the aisle, he saw three people standing in the entrance area of the cabin with the help of the thin moonlight sprinkled from the sky and the yellowish wall lamps on both sides.

This is exactly the three people who were angered by his grimace and tried to chase him.

Among them, the one with a crumpled and unlit cigarette in his mouth, his eyes were blank, the cigarette was sandwiched in his left hand, the index finger and middle finger of his right hand were put together, and he put it into his mouth, sometimes sucking.

The other two, the one with the mole on the end of the eyebrow ran frantically back and forth, as if venting too much energy, while the other took off his clothes and stood there with a smirk.

Shang Jianyao thought for a while, but in the end he couldn't figure out what gesture to use, so he made a face again at the one with the naked upper body, and said sincerely:

"There is no disguise in front of the 'Monitor'!"

After saluting, he bypassed the three who ignored him and turned his attention to other parts of the deck.

There were far fewer people gathered here than before dark, but there were still nearly a hundred.

At this moment, they are either waving their hands indiscriminately, or urinating and urinating anywhere and not knowing how to clean up, or staring at a no-man's place with fierce eyes, or doing all kinds of strange behaviors in a daze, none of which is normal .

For ordinary people or most awakened people, a similar scene is definitely more terrifying than encountering the same number of "unintentional people", because it is so weird that it makes one's heart tremble.

Unknown situations are most of the time scarier than the dangers of knowing the cause!

Shang Jianyao didn't rush to test, and looked around, as if looking for someone.

What he is looking for is the owner of room "522"!

Normally, after entering a psychological shadow, the awakened person is acting as the owner of the room to some extent, so it is impossible to meet the deity.

But this is room "912", and Shang Jianyao is now replacing its owner, and from the close agreement of the two scenes, it can be inferred that the owner of room "522" was probably also on the cruise ship at the time. It was this strange incident. witnesses.

As long as he can find him and follow his actions, Shang Jianyao will be able to get through this psychological shadow relatively smoothly. After all, the owner of the "522" room is sure to survive, and then enters the "Spiritual Corridor". Deduced as a psychological shadow.

Of course, Shang Jianyao's strategy may not be effective, because this cruise ship is likely to bring terror more than once, and the owners of the two rooms may not be in the same batch of "victims", so he is both searching and confirming.

After watching for several minutes, Shang Jianyao suddenly clenched his right fist and slapped his left palm.

Snapped!

He muttered to himself angrily:

"I don't even know what the owner of room '522' looks like, what is his name..."

This is a businessman who acts faster than his head.

The cowardly and timid one sneered:

"Sometimes, I really don't want to admit that you're one of us.

"Although it is not clear what the owner of the '522' room looks like and what his name is, we can first look for the survivor, or a normal person in the current situation. He is likely to be there."

Snapped!

Shang Jianyao once again clenched his right fist and left palm, and said without feeling ashamed:

"Yup!"

At this moment, he saw several cruise ship passengers who were behaving strangely and chaotically, turned their bodies and cast their eyes because of their own voices.

They either looked violent or had a manic feeling on their faces.

"Yo, are we going to fight?" The joking Shang Jianyao said.

Shang Jianyao, who was seeking novelty and wonder, shook his head:

"No, I want to experience what it's like to run wild."

Shang Jianyao immediately rubbed his chin:

"Don't attack just yet.

"Remember the first psychological shadow in room '522'? Using the ability rashly without understanding the situation may bring about changes."

- In the spiritual world, even shooting with a gun is essentially using the ability to "interfere with matter", otherwise the bullet will not have any effect.

While they were talking, the cruise ship passengers were already running over, clenching their fists, or drawing out their pistols, full of aggression.

"Run!" Shang Jianyao shouted, turned around, and ran into the cabin.

He ran all the way to the stairs, ready to go to the upper floors to have a look.

Suddenly, he saw several figures coming from the other side of the corridor.

They were men and women, with twisted or frantic expressions, some with daggers, some with military thorns, and some with submachine guns, and they quickly crossed the stairs and ran towards Shang Jianyao.

When Shang Jianyao saw that there were wolves in front of him and tigers in the back, he no longer hesitated, ran a few steps, and went down with a shovel.

The legs of the men and women in front suddenly lost their movements, but their bodies maintained a strong inertia.

Plop, plop!

They fell one by one, looking like they had been shoveled to the ground by Shang Jianyao.

"Lack of leg movement"!

Shang Jianyao slid through them, stretched his hands, and jumped up.

But in a flash, he stopped there, as if stupid.

Immediately afterwards, Shang Jian Yaoji appeared with a small speaker and played music:

"mountain top will follow..." (Note 1)

In the dynamic melody, Shang Jianyao twisted his body and danced, but his movements seemed very clumsy and different from normal.

His expression was confused and frantic.

It didn't take long for Shang Jianyao to shake uncontrollably, then twitched, and his figure became lighter and lighter.

He opened his eyes and saw that his body was shining brightly, and Jiang Baimian hung his left palm with a worried look.

Shang Jianyao sat up abruptly, opened the car window tremblingly, and stuck his head out.

Whoa whoa whoa!

He threw up all the food at noon.

When he calmed down, Jiang Baimian asked with concern:

"What's wrong?"

"The mental damage is severe, and the dizziness is severe." Shang Jianyao replied calmly, "Fortunately, you responded in time, otherwise I might be trapped in it."

After speaking, he was disgusted again and stuck his head out.

This time, even the bile was flying out.

Jiang Baimian said before that Shang Jianyao could take a nap for a while, and to explore the psychological shadow again, he really only planned to let him take a nap for a while.

This is not an act of abusive team members, but a plan for the accident:

If Shang Jianyao did not encounter anything in the shadow of the cruise ship within fifteen minutes, then he would be forced to wake him up. According to the previous experience and the special nature of this psychological shadow, after he left the "912" room directly, he would not have any energy. injury;

If Shang Jianyao really encountered an accident and fell into a dangerous situation, and he was unable to get rid of it for a while, that short time of fifteen minutes would not make him completely fall into a psychological shadow and become a vegetative person in reality, so, forcibly shake it. Awakening him amounts to substituting short-term, manageable mental damage for more serious consequences.

Based on this, as soon as fifteen minutes came, Jiang Baimian immediately let Long Yuehong in the back row shake the businessman with a robotic arm.

After finding that the shaking effect was not good, she acted decisively and gave a direct electric shock.

After vomiting this round, Shang Jianyao, who is usually alive and kicking, leaned back weakly, and said slowly:

"After entering this time, it was directly on the cruise ship..."

From time to time, he slowly described what happened, and finally said:

"It appears that using abilities in the chaotic state that surrounds cruise ships can infect oneself as a 'patient' with impaired consciousness and disorganized behavior."

Having said this, Shang Jianyao snorted and laughed:

"My meat tastes good when grilled..."

Before he could finish speaking, he stuck his head out again and vomited.

"Asking for it..." Jiang Baimian curled his lips and said after deliberation, "Can't I use my abilities all the way?"

"Or, when everyone is normal?" Bai Chen, who was driving, interjected.

"Normal during the day, chaos at night?" Long Yuehong guessed.

Shang Jianyao responded weakly:

"I don't know, let's see next time.

"The best way to break out is to find the owner of room '522'."

"Well, it's fortunate that this room can be forcibly exited, and the mental damage is relatively less serious. It can be regarded as a way to survive." Jiang Baimian nodded lightly, and then said with emotion, "On the contrary, my island, I really can't see any hope. , people are more than people, maddening people!"

"Don't have any ideas yet?" Bai Chen asked.

Jiang Baimian made an "uh" sound:

"Not really, I've been trying new directions recently.

"Before, I mainly prepared the corresponding state construction in advance through psychological suggestion and other methods, and then faced the coma, and when I was awake, I often forced myself to recall the fears of the two comas and face the shadows in my heart. Not much use.

"This is a bit contradictory to the psychological shadow of victory in my cognition, I think I am not so afraid.

"Now, I'm going to start with my own abilities. This is the inspiration given to me by Shang Jianyao. When he was in the 'Sea of Origins', he played with his abilities and costs, and effectively cooperated with his own courage to defeat the fear."

"What was the result?" Long Yuehong asked curiously.

Jiang Baimian smiled slightly:

"I have only tried it twice, and it has some effect, but it is still far from success."

She further explained:

"I'm primarily using the ability to 'stimulus dysregulation' to alter my response to stun-inducing stimuli.

"Now, after I land on the island, I can last for more than ten seconds before passing out."

Without waiting for Bai Chen, Long Yuehong and others to give advice, Jiang Baimian laughed to himself:

"My next plan is to condense the psychological construction I did before in these ten seconds and see if there is a good change after the coma."

Shang Jianyao suddenly regained his energy:

"Do it if you think of it!"

Jiang Bai gave him a blank look:

"How, how long do you think you can recover?"

"At least a week." Shang Jianyao was not sure.

Jiang Baimian nodded:

"Then I'll take a nap."

After speaking, she raised her hand to cover her mouth, as if to yawn.
