After hula la finished eating the yogurt with some sugar, Shang Jianyao held the lunch box and turned his attention to Ren Jie and Li Zhen.
The two women in charge of distributing the sacrament deliberately ignored him and gave the yogurt in the cylindrical container to different members one by one in a counterclockwise order.
After the sacrament, Li Zhen passed the middle door and entered the inner room with the cutlery. Ren Jie casually chatted with the believers and asked them for their opinions on today's sacrament.
During this process, she did not lean in the direction of Shang Jianyao at all, because she thought she could guess what the guy would say.
"He would definitely say 'the taste is good, the portion is too small'. How could such a person be brought into the sect in the first place? Although the 'Holy Master' has always encouraged us to develop more young people, especially those who have just reached the age of marriage, but Young people also need to be classified..." Ren Jie glanced at Shang Jianyao, and rationally gave up the idea of finding him to share his field experience.
She walked to the corridor leading to the middle door, turned around, and said to everyone:
"That's the end of today's meeting, you all go back one by one, be careful on the way."
The members present bowed at the same time, and left Li Zhen's house separately and went to different places at night without street lights.
Shang Jianyao and Shen Du dropped by, both wearing dark green thick cotton coats, holding clumsy flashlights, and walking silently along the edge of the surveillance camera.
When they were about to separate, Shen Du looked up at the ceiling immersed in darkness, and asked a question:
"What does the real sky look like?"
Shang Jianyao's visual torch beam said:
"It's high, it's blue, it's empty."
Shen Du fell silent, separated from him, and walked towards his home.
After Shang Jianyao returned to Room 196 in Area B, he took a nap again, and waited until the end of the rush hour before rushing to have breakfast before the cafeteria closed.
Filling his stomach, he came to the elevator hall at the corner of Area C.
Twelve elevators here lead directly to the "research area".
Shang Jianyao skillfully pressed the 25th floor, and then swiped his card and pressed "3" while the elevator was going down.
After arriving on the 3rd floor, Shang Jianyao walked along the corridor outside the metal gate to the innermost room on the right.
"Dong dong dong." He knocked on the door.
"Who?" A soft female voice came out.
Shang Jianyao reported his name and finally said:
"Doctor Lin, I'd like to make an appointment for a review time."
Dr. Lin in the room immediately smiled and said:
"Small business...
"I just happen to be free now, come in."
With permission, Shang Jianyao turned the handle and opened the door.
Dr. Lin still wore gold-rimmed glasses and a white coat, sitting behind the wood-colored table, playing with the pen in his hand.
Different from the past, this time, her hair was not up and down casually, looking a few years younger.
"Good morning, Doctor Lin." Shang Jianyao greeted with a smile.
Dr. Lin pointed to the chair opposite:
"Good morning, sit down."
As she spoke, she glanced at the folder spread out in front of her eyes.
When Shang Jianyao was seated, she asked casually:
"How many days have you been back from work?"
"I came back yesterday afternoon." Shang Jianyao didn't hide it.
Dr. Lin pressed the end of the pen against the tabletop, smiled and said:
"Today is too sudden, so we won't do any tests, let's chat casually.
"How is it? The field trip went well this time, right?"
"Very exciting." Shang Jianyao answered truthfully.
Dr. Lin was a little curious:
"How exciting?"
"It can make ordinary security staff die several times." Shang Jianyao found a comparison standard.
"Then you are lucky enough to come back alive." Dr. Lin couldn't help sighing.
She turned and laughed:
"Then tell me about this experience, you don't need to say anything that needs to be kept secret."
Shang Jianyao revealed an expression of memory:
"We drove out the gate and came to the surface, the sky was blue, high, empty, and it felt like it could suck people up, it was scary, but you get used to it...
"There are many trees around, some with green leaves, some withered yellow, and the air smells of fresh excrement..."
"Stop!" Dr. Lin raised his hand and pinched his nose, "There is no need to talk about such details."
She immediately picked up the cup and took a sip of tea:
"What about the back?"
"No more." Shang Jianyao replied calmly.
"Ah?" Dr. Lin couldn't react for a while.
Shang Jianyao explained:
"There is a confidentiality clause later."
"..." Dr. Lin was a little stunned. "That is to say, you have only been out for a few hours, and you have started encountering matters involving confidentiality clauses? After this incident, what else can you say?"
Shang Jianyao replied seriously:
"I ate canned braised beef, ate energy bars, ate compressed biscuits, urinated once after going to the bush, killed two mosquitoes..."
"It goes without saying." Dr. Lin felt a little helpless.
She was silent for a while, and couldn't help but ask again:
"Apart from the details of life, everything else involves confidentiality clauses?"
Shang Jianyao nodded:
"It has to wait for the company to review before deciding what can be said and what can't be said."
"Well." Dr. Lin sighed, "What exactly happened to you? Uh, are there any casualties?"
She worried that this would stimulate Shang Jianyao and make his condition worse.
Shang Jianyao shook his head:
"No."
Dr. Lin breathed a sigh of relief and decided to change the subject:
"Did you feel like you've grown in these experiences on the surface?"
"Yes." Shang Jianyao said with a serious expression, "I found that saving all human beings is a very difficult thing. We often can't save even a small town, a settlement, and a child."
Dr. Lin nodded in relief:
"As long as you know.
"I'm not saying that there is something wrong with your ideal, but that you should set some goals that are easier to achieve before this ideal.
"It can help boost your confidence and improve your condition."
Shang Jianyao immediately responded:
"Yes.
"So, I have to work harder to train myself and improve myself. Only in this way can all mankind be saved."
"..." Dr. Lin rolled his eyes and sighed quietly.
Before she could speak, Shang Jianyao took the initiative to ask:
"Dr. Lin, I'm looking for you today, mainly to ask, how to overcome the fear hidden in your heart?"
Dr. Lin's expression changed, and he smiled slightly:
"That's a good question."
She didn't say more professional terms, and said in a very approachable and chatty way:
"Personally, the premise of overcoming a hidden fear is recognizing it and facing it head on.
"Blindly escaping will never solve the problem.
"Sometimes, you might as well look directly at your bloody wound."
Seeing Shang Jianyao with a thoughtful expression, Dr. Lin added:
"However, in practice, I don't advocate immediately facing the fear, because it is likely to cause secondary damage and a complete mental breakdown.
"The right step should be to take the right approach, step by step, to get closer to that fear, from the edge to the center, and in the process, constantly rebuild the inner strength, bit by bit nibbling away the shadows.
"Once you can fully face those nightmares, you'll find that they're not strong and can be easily defeated."
Having said this, Dr. Lin smiled and said:
"You can tell me your general feeling, and I will help you design some plans."
Shang Jianyao remained silent and did not answer.
Dr. Lin was not surprised, and said "um":
"Don't worry, you can think about it slowly, think about it for a whole week.
"At this time next week, remember to check back.
"If you feel that you can't speak to me, you can use another way, or someone you can trust and speak out."
Shang Jianyao nodded slightly:
"Thank you, Doctor Lin."
He stood up immediately and said goodbye politely.
After returning to the 495th floor, Shang Jianyao turned directly to the fourth elevator area in the other direction.
This leads to the Security Department.
Shang Jianyao waited for a while, then walked in slowly, swiping his card to light up the 647th floor.
Soon, he came to the locker room next to the "old-tone group" and changed into light clothes.
As soon as Shang Jianyao opened the door of the training room, he saw Jiang Baimian with a ponytail, sitting on the bench, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a towel.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Baimian sensed his presence earlier.
She remembered giving the three team members two days off.
"Exercise." Shang Jianyao answered truthfully.
Jiang Baimian thought for a while, and suddenly realized:
"Also, your peers are all working at this time, and you can't find anything to do at home except sleep."
"You can still read books." Shang Jianyao replied.
"..." Jiang Baimian was about to stare at this guy when he suddenly felt something and looked at the door again.
Bai Chen appeared there wearing a grey scarf.
Without waiting for Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao to speak, she took the initiative to say:
"It's okay to be idle."
Jiang Baimian smiled and praised:
"good."
Just as Bai Chen entered the door a few steps, Long Yuehong also came over with a towel.
"You, why are you here?" Long Yuehong was surprised and a little panicked when she saw the team leader, Shang Jianyao, and Bai Chen all looking at him.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Baimian asked without answering.
Long Yuehong hesitantly said:
"The girl my mother introduced to me is at work and can't meet until after dinner. I thought it was okay anyway, so why don't you come over and recover."
Jiang Baimian's smile became more and more obvious:
"very good."
She immediately looked around and said with a pretense of seriousness:
"Since everyone is here, let's practice fighting."
"Ah..." Long Yuehong looked embarrassed.
…
At eight o'clock in the evening, Shang Jianyao was lying on the bed as usual, with his eyes half closed, waiting for the broadcast to start.
After more than ten seconds, the familiar sweet voice echoed:
"Hello everyone, I'm Houyi, the hourly news announcer, it's 8:00 pm...
"The board held its 22nd meeting of the year today to discuss the focus of winter work...
"Bumper harvest of cotton in inner eco-region...
"At 9:35 this morning, Wang Yafei, director of the 'Material Supply Market' on the 478th floor, died of cardiac arrest at work..."
Shang Jianyao opened his eyes and sat up directly.
