Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 885: chance encounter

Views:

A large ranch... Food for the elders... Feeding on human consciousness... These words were like a dull thunder, blasting one after another in the minds of Long Yuehong and others.

Their expressions couldn't help but change, and even Shang Jianyao had a solemn expression and widened his eyes.

Almost at the same time, they thought of one thing:

Experiment on the effects of cold environment on human spirit and physique!

People with strong physique and good spirit are more delicious and nutritious? Jiang Baimian's thoughts flashed, his face sinking like water.

Immediately afterwards, a scene emerged in her mind:

In the underground building of "Pangu Creatures", after the lights are turned off every night, the temperature is as cold as winter, and the popularity of genetic improvement has made most people in good health...

When several members of the "Old Tunes Group" were thinking about each other, Zizizi's voice echoed in the jeep.

Before long, the slightly hoarse male voice sounded again:

"I'm Du Heng, don't think there's nothing wrong with it now, wait for the old people to return to the ashes..."

After a short pause, he suddenly let out an extremely frightened and extremely sharp scream:

"truth!"

This shouting made Long Yuehong's ears buzzing a little.

The recording is over, and the "truth" seems to be someone's dying cry.

"That's all there is to it." Genova ended the broadcast, breaking the silent silence inside the Jeep.

After a while, Long Yuehong said with a strong smile:

"I don't know if it's true or not."

"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao agreed.

The next second, he honestly said to himself:

"The cleanest way to eat consciousness is to die on the spot, and to only move the essence is to become an 'unintentional'?"

Long Yuehong didn't want to discuss this issue, it was like letting a wounded person tear open the unhealed skin and let him face the bloody pain.

"In this case, there is no such thing as a virus in 'wuxin disease'..." Jiang Baimian calmed down and continued on Shang Jianyao's guess.

"Then why can the powerhouses of 'New World' spread 'innocence'?" Bai Chen asked.

Jiang Baimian thought for a while and said:

"They have entered a 'new world' and may have acquired the ability to directly influence human consciousness."

Without waiting for the others to speak, she said to herself:

"The powers of the 'New World' need human consciousness as fuel to communicate between reality and the 'New World'

"This is the real reason for the small-scale outbreak of 'Innocent Disease' in many places during the turmoil in the 'First City'?"

"Except for this kind of accident, very few people in the company get 'innocent disease' every year." Long Yuehong whispered.

Shang Jianyao immediately repeated the original words of the recording:

"I'm Du Heng, don't think there's nothing wrong with it now, wait for the old people to return to the ashes..."

"Stop!" Jiang Baimian intuitively thought that Shang Jianyao would imitate the scream next.

Shang Jianyao closed his mouth with regret.

"Before the Zhisui returned to the ash, they could only eat a little every year in a sneaky way?" Bai Chen said thoughtfully, "Moreover, each Zhisui does not have only one pen, eat some here and eat a little there. , adding up to a lot, the weight is enough."

Jiang Baimian nodded invisibly:

"In this way, there is a better explanation for the belief that the spread of 'innocence'..."

Through the chanting and prayers of believers, Zhi Sui can locate the corresponding location and eat the consciousness of unrelated people around.

And if there is no one else around, and you're "hungry", you can only eat vegetables grown by yourself.

"This confirms each other with the situation at the back of the Fourth Research Institute who needs to send in a large number of experimental personnel as soon as he is weak." Genova reminded the "old tune group".

"No wonder the owner of room '506' speculates that Zhisui is eating people." Shang Jianyao slapped his right fist with his left palm.

He looked suddenly enlightened, while the others felt heavier in their hearts.

Jiang Baimian frowned slightly and said:

"But why did the owner of room '506', who believed in 'Zhuang Sheng' and joined the sect of 'Eternal Years', found out such a thing, why did Qin Ke suddenly go crazy and record such content

"This should be a secret kept by all the executives."

"It seems to be a dispute involving the 'New World'." Shang Jianyao imitated Jiang Baimian, "In order to attack the opponent, even if such a secret is revealed, they will not hesitate."

"It is true that there are many forces pushing us forward." Jiang Baimian nodded slightly, "But with our strength, how much can we play in such a thing?"

Seeing that the more they said, the more truthful they were, Long Yuehong hurriedly said:

"I don't think I can just trust the statement of the person in the '506' room, and I can't believe that there is something wrong with the seniors after listening to these few recordings.

"What if it's a conspiracy of 'Zhuang Sheng'? Besides, anyone can make such a recording."

"Yes." Bai Chen stood on Long Yuehong's side.

Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and said:

"With the direction, the next thing is to verify."

Having said that, she smiled at Long Yuehong and Bai Chen:

"I hope more than you, there will be no problems in the company. I, Jiang Baimian, are only one step away from entering the management team. My father is the management team. everything, start over?"

After being relieved, she looked solemn:

"But there is no escaping from the problem, tabooing the doctor will only make things lose the chance."

"But how do we verify it? After verification, if the content of the recording is true, how can we solve the company's problem?" Long Yuehong asked in one breath, showing urgency.

Jiang Baimian wanted to sigh, but as the team leader, at this time, even if he had no confidence, he had to show that he would definitely see the dawn in the future.

She thought about it and said:

"For the time being, we can only take one step at a time.

"Next, the most important thing is to let Hey find the door to the 'New World', and I will also strive to enter the 'Spiritual Corridor' as soon as possible.

"Hey, in the 'New World', we must pay attention to observe the situation, confirm whether it is true that Zhi Sui feeds on human consciousness, and grasp the situation there as soon as possible.

"Well... In fact, after he became a strong man in the 'New World', he should have an accurate understanding of human consciousness. When that time comes, give us a secret code in the agreed way.

"When the situation of the 'New World' changes and the big boss has no time to take care of the company, we immediately secretly contact the awakened people who can be drawn, and the personnel in key positions, and strive to let everyone know before the dust of the 'New World' is settled. Leave the underground building and look for another settlement.

"As for whether the elders will come to the ashes in complete bodies, it is not something we can worry about now."

Jiang Baimian was just trying to comfort Long Yuehong and Bai Chen with a random plan.

Of course, this is only a rough idea, and it may not be feasible, but Jiang Baimian has just given the team members a vaccination - take a step by step.

When she was actively thinking about countermeasures and formulating plans, she felt that she had untied a lot of ties to the company.

Now that the problem has arisen, the only thing that can be done after that is to verify and solve it.

Escape is not her style.

With such determination, she vaguely felt that it would not be long before she could break through the current psychological shadow and be one step closer to the "Spiritual Corridor".

After listening to it quietly, Long Yuehong sighed and said:

"That's all I can do..."

There is no better way now.

What he hopes most is that after Shang Jianyao becomes a "new world" powerhouse, he discovers that "wuxin disease" really comes from a virus.

"No problem!" Shang Jianyao expressed that I had long wanted to explore the spiritual room to the fullest and hurry up to enter the "new world".

"Okay." Bai Chen had no objection.

Genova also felt that the plan was more reasonable.

Jiang Baimian immediately looked around:

"We're going back to Gustburg now, and we'll be back after a few days' rest."

No one objected.

On the way, Shang Jianyao put the weight behind his head and said enthusiastically:

"What kind of existence is 'truth'? Qin Ke should have died in his hands in the end.

"Since he killed Qin Ke, why didn't he take the recorder?"

"Maybe he was trapped in the 'new world' and couldn't return to reality. He just locked Qin Ke's consciousness in some way, such as finding the other party's spiritual room." Jiang Baimian made a guess based on various information.

Shang Jianyao's thinking suddenly jumped:

"Yan Hu is also trapped in the 'new world', why does he let the people around him suffer from 'innocence'? He can't come back."

"Hope to get a lot of fuel to help you get out of trouble?" Long Yuehong, who was in the co-pilot position, guessed based on the results of the previous discussion.

"Maybe... People who are trapped in the 'New World' also need to feed on human consciousness like Zhi Sui? Think about it, Yan Hu can actually live as a mummified corpse until now." Jiang Baimian pondered.

Shang Jianyao's eyes lit up when he heard:

"Where are the mummified corpses of the elders?"

"There is one under the old locust tree." Bai Chen reminded.

In the midst of such discussions, Jeep returned to Gustburg.

Suddenly, Shang Jianyao pressed down the car window and waved his hand towards the side street.

He waved and shouted excitedly:

"Teacher Du Heng!"

Du Heng? Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen instantly felt like they fell into the ice lake.
