Aino's body suddenly stiffened.
Then, like an ostrich, she shrank back and buried her head.
"Fake, definitely fake......" she muttered as she moved her mouse and clicked continuously on the latest portable computer to change the game's scheduled operations.
The eerie wind penetrated the hotel lobby, and the electric light above became dim and dim, giving it a feeling that it would go out at any moment.
"Fake, how can there really be a ghost......" Aino kept comforting himself, but refused to make any response, still focusing on the three electronic devices.
She acted like if she could indulge in one thing and forget about the changes around her, it would be equivalent to nothing happening.
In the dim and flickering light, black shadows appeared on the walls of the hotel lobby.
They are twisted and moved, but there is no corresponding physical existence, as if they were created out of thin air.
Aino's body shrank even more, and she forced herself to focus on episodes, novels, and games.
Suddenly, she felt a cool air blowing on the back of her neck, causing her hair to stand up one by one.
Aino almost stood up and ran outside the hotel screaming, but she finally "controlled" herself and made a choice that no normal person would have:
She was still huddled there, "focused" watching the series, playing games, and reading novels, even though she already felt that someone was wandering behind her, and the cool air on her neck was blowing endlessly.
"Hallucination...... It's all an illusion......" Aino cheered himself up while forcing himself to forget the changes in reality.
…………
In the "Wild Pigeon" bar, the bloody corpse brought a lot of commotion.
Although most of the customers here are relic hunters, because Tarnan is too well protected by the "Machine Paradise", the ruins of the city in the surrounding area have also been explored for many years, and the hidden danger is not too great, and many of them have never seen a real killing and such a horrific corpse.
In this regard, they are very different from the townspeople of "Red Stone Collection".
For a moment, chaos spread like a plague, and those who played cards, those who played mahjong, those who bargained for bargaining, those waiting to dance all stood up, or shrank into corners, gathered together, discussed what had happened in a panic, or mustered up the courage to walk in groups to the doorway area and examine the mutilated corpse.
After a short panic, he stabilized his emotions and carefully examined the corpse in front of him.
A few seconds later, he said in a deep voice:
"It's a member of the 'Mountain Fox' bandit group."
He recognized the identity of the deceased.
At the same moment, Jiang Baimian confirmed his judgment.
"After the 'Mountain Fox' bandit group left, they were attacked?" She said to herself, "Yes, they left after the wind suddenly picked up and there was a banging sound."
In this way, the problem arose from that time.
Cai Yi withdrew his gaze from examining the corpse and looked at the relic hunter team in front of him:
"Why are you back again? Sensing danger?"
He felt that this hunter team had discovered some clues, made a quick decision, and returned the same way, so he successfully avoided the fate of repeating the mistakes of the "Mountain Fox" bandits.
"We walked and came back." Shang Jianyao replied quickly.
Then, he learned the gloomy tone of the hotel proprietress Aino:
"I suspect I encountered a 'ghost hitting the wall'."
Everyone in the bar stiffened when they heard this, and some people couldn't help but move closer to the door, trying to escape and find the robot guards.
Jiang Baimian glanced at it and reminded:
"If you go out blindly now, it is likely to be the same as him."
She pointed to the corpse on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, she expressed her judgment:
"I suspect that the higher 'heartless one' in the southwestern mountains came to Tarnan.
"The wind outside, the knocking sound just now, and our confusion are all caused by illusions."
This speculation not only did not calm down the people in the bar, but made them a little more nervous:
Previously, a full ten members of the Robot Guard disappeared during the purge of this "High Heartless One"!
This shows that the Robot Guard is not so safe in the face of this terrible enemy!
Relatively speaking, no one has encountered ghosts before, and ghosts know whether the robot guards will be affected by ghosts, anyway, they habitually think that robots are not afraid of this.
Cai Yi looked up at the ceiling and tried to calm himself down:
"Is this corpse also an illusion?"
His wife and children are upstairs, and he has to determine the situation as soon as possible and respond.
"I'll confirm." As soon as Jiang Baimian finished speaking, Shang Jianyao had taken her place, walked to the side of the corpse, and squatted down.
He took out his rubber gloves and put them on, pressing his hands on the body.
Then, he used this as a fulcrum to do a handstand.
Handstand ...... The bar owner Cai Yi was a little dumbfounded, as were the nervous customers.
What is this confirmation method?
Could it be that letting blood flow into the brain can effectively improve intelligence?
Bai Chen saw that the surface of the corpse was only sunken, and Shang Jianyao did not sink directly into it, so he turned his head to Jiang Baimian and said:
"It's true."
She had already pulled out her gun at some point, "Ice Moss" in one hand and "United 202" in the other.
Jiang Baimian said "hmm", watching Shang Jianyao turn over and stand up, while looking at the bar owner Cai Yi:
"Do you have a grenade gun here? I plan to put a 'flare' outside to see if the robot guard can react."
In any case, robots are definitely better at seeing through illusions than humans.
At the same time, Jiang Baimian also wanted to inform the "Mirage Dragon Sect" Nanke Guan,
In this regard, she felt that the seemingly unreliable Zhou Yue Zhou Guanzhu might be more reliable than Li Zhe of the "Furnace Sect" and Mike of the "Glory Scale".
Try to leave professional matters to professional people.
Cai Yi was stunned for a moment:
"Why use flares?
"Just call the Robot Guard directly.
"Afraid of being disturbed?"
Belch...... Jiang Baimian then realized that he was accustomed to the ecological environment of other places in the gray soil such as Wegrass City, Hongshiji, and Shuiwei Town, and he had not been able to adapt well to Tarnan for a while, forgetting that not only was there a wireless base station here, but almost every place where people lived had wired telephones.
In this regard, Tarnan is more technological than "Pangea Biology".
"Can I call Zhou Guanzhu of Nanke Temple?" Jiang Baimian quickly came back to his senses and asked.
Cai Yi nodded:
"I have a phone book."
"That's troublesome." Jiang Baimian replied politely, and then looked sideways at Shang Jianyao.
After the two met each other, they shook their heads.
Jiang Baimian wasn't sure if what Shang Jianyao wanted to express was the same as herself, anyway, she wanted to say:
This is the most populous street in Tarnam, full of people, and she can't find the "higher mindless person" based on the electrical signal.
From this point of view, human consciousness induction should have similar problems.
"Is there anyone still on the street now?" Jiang Baimian asked confirmingly.
Shang Jianyao replied truthfully:
"Several."
"Hmm." Jiang Baimian said that this is also his answer.
Cai Yiwei, who couldn't understand their conversation, shook his head invisibly:
"I'll make a phone call."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold wind blew in from above the two wooden baffles, bringing a swishing feeling.
In the next second, the chandelier and sconces in the bar dim at the same time, as if there was a problem with the voltage.
Long Yuehong's heart tightened, and when she looked up, her pupils suddenly dilated.
Everyone in the bar, including the three he had beaten before, all of them were slightly rickety, and their eyes became extremely cloudy and bloodshot.
"Heartless"!
They all became "heartless"!
Long Yuehong suddenly raised his hands holding the gun.
At the same time, he heard the team leader remind the bar owner Cai Yi:
"Be careful."
Cai Yi slowly turned his body.
His eyes bulged out, equally cloudy.
Long Yuehong almost couldn't control her conditioned reflex, and almost pulled the trigger directly.
At this moment, Shang Jianyao's voice sounded happily:
"If you turn off the lights and can't see them, is it okay?"
"Huh?" Long Yuehong's eyes swept away and found that Shang Jianyao was standing next to the power switch at some point.
…………
Nanke Temple.
Zhou Yuechun relied on the strength of her feet and waist and abdomen to leave the futon and stand up.
She patted the white robe on her body and said to a "dreamer" next to her:
"Phelps, I want to go out for a while, you bring my gossip mirror."
The "dreamer" has black hair and blue eyes, and is obviously a mixed-race child.
He replied first:
"Yes, Guan Lord."
Then, slightly aggrieved, he added:
"Lord, I am Zhen Lian."
「…… Zhen Lian, yes, Zhen Lian." Zhou Yue squeezed out a smile, "In addition to the Bagua mirror, there are also talismans, sacks, and by the way, flashlights."
This strange combination surprised Zhen Lian and the others, but they didn't ask much, after all, the master looked a little anxious.
