Chapter 76: Fantasy communication

After listening to Shang Jianyao's words, Jiang Baimian grasped the key points:

Yes, I also think Qiao Chu's charm is not so great.

Although he is indeed very handsome and tall, but he can't reach the point where people will be fascinated at first sight, and he is indifferent and has a very bad personality.

All these feelings were only vaguely hidden in Jiang Baimian's inner secrets before, but occasionally they can be found, and now they are directly exposed to her mind as if the tide recedes and the sand is exposed.

She said to herself:

"No wonder I have always felt that something was wrong based on the chip, and instinctively tried to arm myself and try to distance myself from Joe Chu..."

Bai Chen next to him also heard what Shang Jianyao was saying, and his expression changed a few times before saying:

"The more I think about it, the weirder it gets... How could we want to please Qiao Chu so much, and followed him to this extremely strange and dangerous city ruins."

There are "higher mindless people", distorted terrifying creatures, incomprehensible regular "maintenance" mechanisms, unusually mysterious laboratories, unknown things that roar in the sky, and ruins of any city Bi Baichen has been to be scary.

"Yeah, yeah." Long Yuehong nodded frequently, "I am a normal person with a normal sexual orientation, but occasionally I feel that if it was Qiao Chu, it would be pretty good, ugh..."

As he spoke, he became disgusted.

"You're pregnant?" Shang Jianyao didn't know whether to take a serious look at Long Yuehong or pretend.

Without waiting for the other party to respond, he continued on his own:

"Maybe it's some kind of ability?"

Jiang Baimian spat:

"Do you want to say that Long Yuehong has the ability to get pregnant, or Qiao Chu has the ability to charm

"Charming, yes, it should be.

"And all abilities must have boundaries, as long as they don't become superstitions, the scope, the number of targets, and the corresponding degree all have upper limits.

"Ah yes, I remember that when I wanted to go downstairs for convenience, Qiao Chu refused to let us, and only allowed us to solve it on the other side of the same unit on the same floor. Also, he said just now, don't rush to turn at the end of the corridor, Return first.

"This shows that the range of his ability will not exceed 30 meters.

"And the number of targets is obviously not limited to one person, no, a creature. It enters the corresponding range and is automatically charmed?"

After listening to Jiang Baimian's analysis, Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and others felt more and more terrified, deeply aware of the abnormality of various previous behaviors, but they took it for granted at that time, just like being fascinated by ghosts.

"It's terrifying, it's really terrifying." Long Yuehong just sighed, and suddenly noticed a problem, "Hey, didn't we feel so scared just now that we couldn't even straighten our bodies?"

Why are there discussions now

Shang Jianyao replied solemnly:

"Because what I saw and felt before was just an illusion.

"Once you don't take them to heart and ignore the past, you won't be affected."

"Illusion..." Long Yuehong recalled that Shang Jianyao had mentioned this before.

He was a little panicked, and quickly asked:

"Should we get out of the hallucination first? What if those 'unintentional ones' take the opportunity to attack?"

"Yes." Jiang Baimian raised his left hand holding the flashlight, wanting to slap himself to "wake up" himself.

She thought about it for a second and felt that it might hurt a bit, so she decided to shoot a shot above the pool of wriggling flesh, so that the "unintentional" who created the illusion could no longer maintain the effect of his ability.

At this moment, the pool of flesh and blood they saw suddenly disintegrated and recovered into a male "unintentional" struggling to stand up.

At the same time, they heard a soft thud.

The female "unintentional" tried to get up and attacked everyone in the "Old Tune Group" with a sharp dagger she found out from nowhere, but before she left the simple "wooden bed", she fell back due to pain in her lower body. The dagger fell to the ground.

Her expression became abnormally distorted, her upper body was forcibly propped up, and she put her hands into the tattered quilt.

Soon, she carried a wet and dirty baby from between her legs.

A whitish, flesh-colored umbilical cord is also attached to the baby's belly button.

"Wow!"

A clear cry rang out, echoing inside the room.

Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and others who should have shot directly had guns, but none of them pulled the trigger.

The female "unintentional" quickly broke the umbilical cord and held the baby in her arms.

She then turned halfway over her body to keep the "baby" away from the intruders.

Her expression was vicious and vigilant, and her cloudy eyes had become wet at some point, and she actually brought a bit of pleading.

"Wow! Wow! Wow!"

The baby was crying constantly, and the female "unintentional" bent over and bowed again and again, and kept making a whimpering sound, as if asking for something.

The four of the "Old Tune Group" fell silent, did not respond, but did not shoot.

After a few seconds, Shang Jianyao turned his head and looked at Jiang Baimian:

"Leader..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Baimian sighed deeply and said to the female "unintentional":

"You go."

Immediately after, she thought about it, and regardless of whether the other party could understand it or not, she pointed to the air in front of her and said:

"Can you create another hallucination for us?"

While speaking, she, who had turned her gun to the ground, took a few steps forward and kicked the dagger away.

Shang Jianyao and others followed into the room, but they did not show any intention of attack.

The female "unintentional" was stunned for a while, not knowing whether she understood Jiang Baimian's words, or was creating better conditions for her to leave, she really let out a low roar again.

In front of Shang Jianyao and others, green trees and abandoned cars appeared in front of them.

It was as if they had been transported out of thin air to the street outside.

"Sure enough, as soon as I return to reality, I will automatically feel that Qiao Chu is too attractive and I want to follow." Jiang Baimian felt the change in his heart and said solemnly.

"If it's automatic charm, why aren't the two 'intentional ones' affected?" Bai Chen raised his doubts, "Didn't Qiao Chu say that even a non-human creature like Nightmare Horse wants to fall in love with him?"

Shang Jianyao immediately emphasized:

"That's what I said."

Only then did Bai Chen realize that he was a little "brainwashed" by Shang Jianyao, so he changed his rhetoric:

"I mean, even a non-human creature like the Nightmare Horse is charmed, not to mention the 'mindless' that humans have become?"

"Maybe she is having a baby, all emotions are in this area." Long Yuehong guessed.

Jiang Baimian nodded:

"In this way, Qiao Chu's charm has an upper limit of strength, so he did not dare to be too vicious or too hostile along the way, because he was afraid that the charm would fail."

Without waiting for the others to speak, Jiang Baimian turned and said:

"I can't waste time, now I mainly have to figure out a way to return to reality without being affected by the charm.

"We haven't left the corresponding range yet."

Shang Jianyao responded immediately:

"I'll try."

"Okay." What Jiang Baimian is most looking forward to is what tricks this "Awakened" can play.

Shang Jianyao turned his head and looked at Bai Chen:

"Lend me the mirror."

Although Bai Chen was puzzled, he still took out the large slap mirror box he carried with him and handed it to Shang Jianyao.

Shang Jianyao opened the mirror box and looked at himself in the mirror, his eyes gradually darkened:

"You like Joe Chu;

"Many people like Qiao Chu;

"You can't get him;

"so?"

Shang Jianyao's expression instantly distorted and became extremely gloomy.

He quickly answered his own question:

"So, just kill him.

"I can't get it, and neither can anyone else."

These two words, Shang Jianyao said with killing intent, very firm.

"..." Jiang Baimian's mouth was slightly open, and he was speechless.

"Can you do this?" Long Yuehong blurted out.

He was inexplicably more afraid of Shang Jianyao, afraid that one day the other party would deceive him like this and let him do disgusting things.

Bai Chen was also a little stunned, until Shang Jianyao returned the mirror to her, and she asked subconsciously:

"Why don't you use powers on us?"

"I can only affect myself during the hallucination." Shang Jianyao replied with a clear smile, "When I get rid of the hallucination, I will use my abilities on you in turn, and I can't let you stop me."

"Huh, even the starting point of thinking has changed." Jiang Baimian didn't say more, afraid that he would wake up Shang Jianyao without knowing what to say, so that he would no longer be affected by the ability of "reasoning clown".

She raised her right hand and fired a shot at the wooden chair in her memory.

In the sound of the bang and the changes brought about by it, the four of the "Old Key Group" broke away from the hallucination at the same time.

At this time, the male "Unintentional" and the baby had disappeared, leaving only a row of bloodstains leading to the other exit of the room.

The female "unintentional" stood at the exit, not far away.

Seeing Shang Jianyao, Jiang Baimian, and the others wake up, her cloudy eyes bent down again, as if bowing to them.

Then, she turned around, ran out of the room, and disappeared into the opposite corridor.

"The ability to recover is very strong..." Jiang Baimian's focus is occasionally as wrong as Shang Jianyao.

At this time, Shang Jianyao walked up to her and said:

"Leader, look:

"You like Joe Chu;

"Many people like Qiao Chu;

"You can't get him;

"so?"

Jiang Baimian's expression changed a few times, and finally replied viciously:

"So, I have to knock him unconscious and drag him back!"

Shang Jianyao neither agreed nor opposed, using the same method to make Bai Chen and Long Yuehong want to attack Qiao Chu.

Of course, the source of their desire to attack is different. One is to force it, and the other is psychological distortion due to inferiority.

After completing the preparatory preparations, Shang Jianyao patted the side of the assault rifle and said with a smile:

"Our current group can be called the 'Love Breakup Front Alliance'."

Jiang Bai gave him a blank look and emphasized:

"We can't let Qiao Chu get too close later, he is also an 'awakened', and he must have other abilities.

"As soon as he appeared at the entrance of the hallway, we fired immediately. Well, everyone targeted different parts, forming a cross-fire network."

"Okay." Shang Jianyao and the others did not respond loudly.

After checking it again, Jiang Baimian picked up the walkie-talkie hanging on the armed belt, pressed the button and said:

"We've reached the end of the hallway and met a 'Higher Heartless' and two ordinary 'Heartless'.

"The 'high-level unintentional person' was giving birth to a child. He didn't attack us too much, and fled here directly."

After a few seconds, Qiao Chu's indifferent voice came from the walkie-talkie:

"You wait for me to come."
