Chapter 683: key point

Views:

Ruo Wang is very puzzled about Shang Jianyao's reaction:

"What's the matter? Don't you think it's really cold at night?"

"I think." Shang Jianyao nodded honestly.

Without waiting for John to ask again, he muttered to himself:

"In the evening when all the passengers boarded the cruise ship, the cold air went south and cooled down significantly, and the cycle started from that moment...

"After that, the day was fine, but the night was cold and drenched in the bone marrow...

"Normal during the day, chaos at night...

"On the last day, by hiding in the dark and cold cold storage, I escaped the end of contracting 'innocence'..."

Ruo Wang was taken aback when he heard:

"What exactly are you talking about?"

Because his father was a fan of ash culture, he mastered ash language when he was a child. With this skill, he barely survived in the area around Tieshan City, where ash people were the mainstay, and eventually joined the Second Food Company. "A chance encounter".

At this moment, he has only one thought:

Why is this guy so rude

In the face of John's question, Shang Jianyao laughed, smiling brightly:

"I figured out some problems and found a key point.

"Then, see you the day after tomorrow."

After speaking, Shang Jianyao, who was wearing a black trench coat, put his hand on his chest and bowed in a salute, not knowing where he learned it.

During the salute, his figure quickly faded and disappeared in front of John.

John was stunned:

"He, is he really the future

"What do you mean by the day after tomorrow?"

After exiting and re-entering for the fourth time, Shang Jianyao came to the day when the cruise ship docked.

He knew that John, Sally and the others should have been hiding in the cold storage at this time, so he went straight there and banged the metal door.

The crew members in the kitchen were all guided by him just now, and they regarded it as normal.

After shooting for a while, seeing no response, Shang Jianyao opened the door himself and walked in.

He didn't forget to put on thick clothes, blankets and quilts.

After closing the door of the cold storage, Shang Jianyao turned on the flashlight and took pictures everywhere.

No accident, he found John in a familiar location.

"Meet again." Shang Jianyao greeted with a smile.

Ruo Wang was stunned for a few seconds, then asked blankly:

"You are, are you the merchant the day before yesterday?"

Before the "restart" of the story, he still had corresponding memories.

"Or who do you think it is?" Shang Jianyao, who was wrapped up like a bear, asked rhetorically.

Ruo Wang became excited for a moment, he glanced left and right, and said in a low voice:

"I chose to hide here because of the dark and cold cold storage you once said.

"Finally, will there really be an outbreak of 'innocence' outside?"

In the past two days, he has repeatedly recalled Shang Jianyao's words that were "godly nagging" at that time.

"You'll know the answer when the cruise ship docks." Shang Jianyao dragged his paralyzed right leg at the caudal vertebra to a corner where food was still stored.

When Sally and the others saw his "shape", they all started from their hearts, trembling as if they were facing a monster.

If it wasn't for Shang Jianyao's lack of attack intent, or even a glance at them, they would have been unable to control themselves, rushed out of the cold storage, and looked for another place to hide.

Of course, on the other hand, if such a monster chooses the kitchen cold storage as a hiding place, it means that this place is better than other places.

As for John, he turned a blind eye to Shang Jianyao's unique shape, and had long been "accustomed" to it.

Shang Jianyao didn't waste time here, exited and re-entered, pushing the timeline to the node where the cruise ship docked.

As soon as he appeared in the cold storage, he immediately ran to the door with the sound of the broadcast and opened it.

In the kitchen outside, the "unintentional ones" who were turned from crew members looked over.

Shang Jianyao ignored them and walked around in a small circle to get rid of these hunters.

He was racing against time to get to the source of the "darkness", where the captain was currently, and didn't want any delay.

Bang bang bang!

During the shooting of the "unintentional" by Ruo Wang and others, Shang Jianyao rushed out of the kitchen, relying on the induction of the "Six Senses Pearl", and ran towards the direction where the "darkness" gradually became richer.

On the way, he was forced to shoot and kill the "unintentional" blocking the road, but the gun must hit and it was very accurate.

All the way to the cockpit, Shang Jianyao finally saw the captain's figure.

His round body leaned against the glass on the side, staring at the chaotic scene of the "innocence" outbreak below, motionless.

If it weren't for his human consciousness, Shang Jianyao would suspect that he was dead.

Of course, the "mindless" also have human consciousness.

And all the signs are showing that the captain has been infected with "heartless disease":

First of all, he is the source of "darkness" and a node connecting the "new world". If Wuxin disease really comes from this, then he cannot be spared;

Secondly, there are several crew members in the cockpit. They are all infected with "Wuxin Disease", their bodies are stooped, their eyes are cloudy and bloodshot, but they do not attack the captain - if they are not particularly hungry, "Wuxin Disease" will not hunting of the same species;

Bang bang bang!

Shang Jianyao saw "Ice Moss" on the left and "United 202" on the right, knocking over the "unintentional ones" who were trying to pounce on him.

Hearing the gunshots, the captain's round body slowly turned around.

His face was full of panic and fear, and although there were bloodshot eyes in his eyes, it was not cloudy at all.

He hasn't become "heartless" yet!

But Shang Jian Yao "sees" very clearly, the source of "darkness" is still in his body.

Shang Jianyao's thoughts changed, and he imitated Jiang Baimian, showing a kind smile:

"I'm here to save you!"

"You, you are not infected with 'innocence'..." The captain observed for a while and breathed a sigh of relief.

He then said with some emotional breakdown:

"I just thought I was dead!

"Result, result..."

As he spoke, a suspicious look appeared on the captain's face.

Shang Jianyao didn't respond, put away "United 202", and walked over.

Snapped!

He punched the captain behind the ear.

The captain fainted without humming.

Immediately afterwards, Shang Jianyao tore off the clothes of the "unintentional" nearby, and tied the captain tightly again.

Then, he picked up the captain and walked along the same path to the kitchen.

Because John and others had already left here, and a batch of "unintentional" people along the way had been cleaned up, Shang Jianyao returned to the cold storage door quite smoothly.

He took a breath and made sure that the "Six Senses Pearl" and the "Angel of Life" necklace were all right, then stepped through the half-open door and entered the dark and cold interior.

Hiss, the unconscious captain seemed to be thrown into ice water, his body twisted, and he was about to wake up.

At this time, Shang Jianyao closed the metal door of the cold storage.

Almost instantly, he felt the entire cruise ship shaking violently, no, the whole world was shaking!

At the same time, in his senses, the "darkness", like the sea water at low tide, poured back into the captain's body one after another, curled up into a ball, and gradually disappeared.

An illusory clicking sound followed, and the psychological shadow cracked directly, and the "glass fragments" fell one by one, revealing the deep black void hidden behind them.

In the void, there is a city vaguely, and in the city, there is a tower that goes straight into the sky.

Whoa!

The entire psychological shadow completely disintegrated, and a thin mist that seemed to reflect the burning clouds poured out and flew towards Shang Jianyao.

Shang Jianyao thought about it for a while, reached out to catch it, and pinched it into a small ball.

When this psychological shadow completely disappeared, the dark void also merged into the night, and in front of Shang Jianyao appeared the ruins of a temple supported by many stone pillars.

This is the second psychological shadow of the owner of the "912" room.

Shang Jianyao glanced at it, exited the room gracefully, and returned to reality.

"Hey, it's a little cold." As soon as Shang Jianyao sat up straight, he shrank his neck.

He picked up the sunglasses clipped to the windbreaker, and transferred the crimson mist from the psychological shadow into it.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Baimian asked curiously and caringly outside the jeep with the door open.

Shang Jianyao threw the sunglasses to the passenger seat and said with a smile:

"Solved, got a prop."

"How to solve it?" Long Yuehong was quite curious about this.

Shang Jianyao explained his thoughts completely, focusing on the keyword "cold".

"So, is 'Darkness' afraid of the cold, or not afraid of the cold?" Bai Chen wondered.

On a cold night, it will spew out faster, affecting the entire cruise ship, causing most of the people to fall into a state of chaos. The person survived, and when Shang Jianyao finally stuffed the captain into the cold storage, the "darkness" was obviously shrinking back and gradually disappeared.

Jiang Baimian reorganized the relevant scenes in his mind, and said after deliberation:

"I feel scared.

"But because of the degree of cold, the response is different."

She further explained:

"Generally at low temperatures, the 'darkness' is irritable because of the cold, and affects human beings; at the temperature of the cold storage, it chooses to escape and escape."

"I don't know if there is such a situation in the 'darkness' before..." Genova agreed with Jiang Baimian's explanation and made an association.

Shang Jian Yao rubbed his chin:

"The fear of cold seems to be one of the characteristics of the Searing Gate realm

"That darkness carries Duffy Tiel's consciousness?"

"It should be more than the Awakened of the 'Hot Gate'." Jiang Baimian did not refute Shang Jianyao's speculation, but just reminded him not to miss anything.

Several people discussed for a while, and Shang Jianyao suddenly pointed to the sunglasses in the front row and said to Jiang Baimian:

"you try."

"This is mine?" Jiang Baimian joked.

"Yes!" Shang Jianyao did not hesitate.

Jiang Baimian was about to speak, but she suddenly shuddered as she picked up her sunglasses.

"It's a bit cold..." She gritted her teeth.

It is now approaching summer, and she wears light and thin clothes.

Shang Jianyao laughed:

"The price is 'fear of the cold' and the ability is 'confused,' presumably."

He had no way of knowing the correct name of the ability.

Jiang Baimian put down his sunglasses first, preparing to thicken his clothes and try again.

She turned to Shang Jianyao and asked:

"After passing through this psychological shadow, your ability should have improved a lot, right?"
