Shang Jianyao and Genova stood not far from the apartment, looking up at it.
The building in front of them is full of design, and when viewed from the oblique side, it is like a blade cutting vertically into the dark sky.
Its exterior walls are dark black, with light spilling out of every window, as luxurious as ever.
"Have you felt the whirlpool?" Genova asked Shang Jianyao.
Last time in Konimis, after they stirred up "ripples", they felt that there was a huge vortex in the depths of the main city, which was slowly accelerating and expanding outward.
Shang Jianyao shook his head:
"No."
His tone gradually brought obvious self-satisfaction:
"When we left before, didn't the whirlpool calm down
"This time our strategy was really successful. It all went to the source of the problem, and the vortex has not been stimulated."
"But you still have to be careful next." Genova looked at the luxury apartment in front of him and said, "Except for a few places, the rest are shrouded in lights. Are there so many 'New World' powerhouses?"
According to the previous experience of the "Old Tuning Group", each light corresponds to one or two "New World" powerhouses, and this luxury apartment is more than 30 stories high, with two rooms on each floor.
"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao agreed with Genova's previous sentence, "I have to do some preparations."
He slung the "Berzy Warrior" assault rifle on his body, and took out the "Six Consciousness Beads" and the Little Jade Buddha from the tactical backpack with his movable right hand.
Then, he put the former on his left wrist, juxtaposed with the "Angel of Life" necklace that went around there.
As for the latter, Shang Jianyao chose to stuff it into the pocket of the gray camouflage uniform—it was on the waist side, with no armor covering and no exoskeleton support.
Genova thought that his preparations were over, who knew that Shang Jianyao took out another thing.
It was neatly folded paper.
Shang Jianyao reverently unfolded it, revealing the children's doodle-like sketches above.
The heavens hold the picture of the blessing of the year!
Of course, this is not complete, there are still a few missing.
Shang Jianyao immediately pulled out the transparent tape, and pasted the picture of Zhutian Zhisui Blessing on the chest armor of the military exoskeleton device, facing outward.
"Okay." He sighed in satisfaction.
Without waiting for Genava to respond, he moved his body and muttered to himself:
"No, there's something missing..."
After a few seconds, Shang Jianyao suddenly realized:
"I know what's wrong!"
He quickly stood up straight and shouted at the luxury apartment where the "son of age" once lived:
"Who dares to kill me!"
Then, Shang Jianyao lowered his voice:
"Uh... this is too nasty..."
He adjusted and shouted to the building again:
"Who dares to stop me!
"Who dares to stop me!
"Who dares to stop me!"
After shouting three times in a row, Shang Jianyao put one hand on his hip and smiled with great satisfaction:
"It's all right now."
Genova glanced at the picture of the blessing of the gods on his chest, and analyzed it:
"Those words you just shouted have the effect of 'mind implantation'?"
He thinks that the businessman is going crazy, but he rarely does things that are meaningless.
Even if he likes to make the steps very cumbersome, he has his own purpose after all.
Shang Jianyao sneered:
"Lao Ge, are you stupid? I can't sense that there is human consciousness in the building. How can I use 'mind implantation'?"
"When you use the loudspeaker to increase the range of influence, can you also sense the target's human consciousness? This should exceed your sensing limit." Genova had not discussed this issue with Shang Jianyao before.
Shang Jianyao explained seriously:
"After my power is integrated into sound through radio waves, it can sense human consciousness within a certain distance around it during the propagation process."
"Understood." Genavar moved his metal neck up and down.
He turned to ask:
"What did you call those for just now?"
"To be courageous," the honest Shang Jianyao replied without hesitation.
Genova chose to remain silent.
Shang Jianyao picked up the "Berzy Warrior" assault rifle again and took a step forward.
He also said:
"Let's go, now the heavens will protect us!"
In a sense, this may be true, but the number of years that bless you can't be that many... A red light flickered in Genava's eyes a few times.
He followed, and went to the open door of the apartment with Shang Jianyao.
On the way, he glanced at Shang Jianyao and asked incomprehensively:
"Why are you still carrying an assault rifle
"Even if you think that the body of the enemy here is still unable to stop bullets, the military exoskeleton device itself also has a weapon module and a grenade launcher. You might as well hang up the assault rifle and free your right hand."
Shang Jianyao asked in amazement:
"Don't you think it's more handsome to walk step by step with a weapon in such an environment?"
"I don't think so," replied the honest Genova.
"Old Ge." Shang Jianyao's words became more focused, "This is something that is a little bit worse for you to be a real human being. You took over last time. Why did you degenerate today?"
"This is not a meme." Genova had already searched the database.
Shang Jian Yao hated that iron was not steel and shook his head.
At this point, the two had already arrived at the door of the luxury apartment, and they stopped talking and looked inside through various means.
Entering the eye is a very spacious and modern hall dominated by light gray. An artistic crystal chandelier hangs in the hall. The pure white light quietly illuminates the empty ground floor.
Before the light reaches the edges and corners, the fog rolls and the darkness is thick.
Different from the previous experience of Shang Jianyao and Genova, although there are lights, there is no shadow.
"Haha, I was scared away by my Zhutian Zhi Sui Blessing Plan!" Shang Jianyao laughed loudly.
"I can't tell whether this chandelier belongs to the 'New World' or Konimis, and I don't know where its light comes from." Genova brought the topic back to the right track very rationally.
This is completely different from the relationship between the "New World" projections and Konimis that they had encountered before. There is no forcibly superimposing the contradiction between each other and it can be seen at a glance, as if there is such an art chandelier in this luxury apartment. , the area it illuminates is also really what the same location in Konimeth originally looked like.
Here, "new" and "old" are indistinguishable.
Shang Jianyao expressed satisfaction:
"That's right, as expected of the source of the problem!"
The red light in Genova's eyes flashed a few times:
"Let's take a look at the elevator first. It would be best if we could go directly to the top floor from there."
"The premise is that there is no projection of a strong 'New World' inside." said the calm and rational Shang Jianyao.
He didn't mention whether he wanted to confirm whether he was friendly or not, because there was no way to bet on it. If the bet failed, he and Genova would definitely be stuck here, basically finished.
Therefore, his plan is to observe the situation in the elevator in various ways from a certain distance. If there are people, he will consider climbing the stairs.
Without waiting for Genova to respond, Shang Jianyao looked around and said:
"Before going up, we checked the ground floor, mainly those places that were not illuminated by the lights and the places that were hidden by the 'New World' projection."
"Okay." Genova analyzed the purpose of Shang Jianyao's actions.
The two of them brought their own flashlights, slowly crossed the door, entered the hall, and walked towards the dark edge of the rolling mist.
On the way, Shang Jianyao took a side step from time to time and stepped on the ground hard, as if he wanted to confirm whether there was something buried "under" the marble.
Genova is also doing a similar thing - the electromagnetic environment here is extremely chaotic and complicated, and he can't use many methods, so he can only follow Shang Jianyao.
After more than ten steps, the two came to a dark corner where the light of the chandelier was blocked.
As the yellow light beam shone in, a slightly curled corpse appeared there.
The corpse has rotted into bones, and the gray camouflage on the body is very similar to that on Shang Jianyao.
With a bang, Shang Jianyao landed on his knees, put down his "Berzy Warrior" assault rifle, and reached out to fumble for the pocket of the corpse's clothing.
He found nothing.
"This should be a member of that old-fashioned team, but not your father," said Genova next to him.
Because he was coming to Koningmis this time to follow the traces of the previous team, Shang Jianyao, through Jiang Baimian, confidently applied for various documents of his father before he set off.
Genova used this to enter relevant data, and combined with Shang Jianyao's memories and photos, he basically established a three-dimensional image of Shang Jianyao's father.
"Why?" Shang Jianyao asked.
Genova explained patiently:
"One is the wrong height, and the other is that he left nothing, except his clothes.
"The former commissioner of the Eighth Research Institute said that they found a lot of the bodies of your father's teammates. This should be one of them. All the items were taken away by them."
Shang Jianyao stood up relying on the power of the military exoskeleton device, and then asked:
"What was the cause of death?"
"Unknown." Genova checked, but couldn't find the reason.
The two found another seven or eight corpses on the first floor of the luxury apartment, but none of them belonged to Shang Jianyao's father, or even a member of the old-fashioned team - they could tell the difference by whether there were any skeletal features of the Grey Earth Man. , the things on his body were also taken away by the Eighth Research Institute.
With no other gains, the two cautiously approached the elevator.
After observation, there is no one there.
Shang Jianyao rushed over and went straight to an open elevator.
Suddenly, he stopped.
"What's wrong?" Genova also came to a sudden stop.
Shang Jianyao pointed at the LCD panel of the elevator, and said in dismay:
"no power… "
