Long Yuehong sat up slowly, wiping the sweat from her forehead while picking up the water bag next to her.
During this process, he took advantage of the thin moonlight shining outside the window to see Shang Jianyao on night duty looking at him.
"Woke up scared?" Shang Jianyao asked with a smile.
Long Yuehong was shocked and blurted out:
"Did you have that nightmare too?"
As soon as the words fell, Long Yuehong realized that something was wrong:
Hey, this guy is still on night duty and hasn't slept at all, how can he dream?
Sure enough, as he expected, Shang Jianyao laughed:
"What the hell did you have a nightmare?"
The conversation between the two attracted the attention of Bai Chen, another night watchman, and even Jiang Baimian slowly woke up in his sleep.
In the entire room, only "Garibaldi" Giuseppe, who had exhausted his energy from fighting addiction, was still sleeping.
Long Yuehong thought for a moment and said:
"I dreamed of the chief who died and returned to silence.
"I dreamed that when his body was carried into the incinerator, he showed a ferocious expression, and then he screamed."
After a brief description, Long Yuehong looked at Jiang Baimian:
"Team leader, have you had a similar nightmare?"
Jiang Baimian shook his head:
"I slept well."
Long Yuehong breathed a sigh of relief while doing a self-analysis with a little disappointment:
"Maybe the scene of the chief jumping off the building to commit suicide was so shocking that I was so impressed that I combined it with the return ceremony to scare myself."
"Now it seems that this may not be the case." Shang Jianyao raised his hand and touched his chin, "Since you said so, it's probably not the reason."
"Hey." Long Yuehong was a little weak to stop this guy's nonsense.
Jiang Baimian yawned, picked up the water bag, took a sip and said:
"Go to sleep, anyway, that chief has turned into ashes, uh, it's a relic, even if there is really a problem, there will be no problem."
"There are ghosts in this world......" Shang Jianyao said softly, suppressing his voice.
Long Yuehong was about to refute, but Shang Jianyao had already given an example:
"Dimarco."
Jiang Baimian and others were at a loss for words.
After Dimarco was destroyed by the "Old Tune Group", he did exist in the state of a "ghost ghost" for a while.
He is an awakened person in the "Bodhi" realm, and so is the chief, otherwise he would not have mastered the "Heavenly Eye Communication".
In other words, the chief consciousness body has a high probability of being able to survive apart from the body for a period of time.
In a popular sense, this is a "ghost".
After a few seconds, Jiang Baimian exhaled and said:
"Without a physical body, Dimarco won't survive long.
"That chief died last night, uh, into a new world."
"He's definitely better than DiMarco." Shang Jianyao retorted.
"But it is impossible for there to be such a big qualitative change, unless he can still move on the gray soil after entering the 'new world'." Jiang Baimian turned his body sideways and looked at the night outside the window, "Sleep, sleep, what kind of ghost are you discussing in the middle of the night?"
Shang Jianyao didn't continue the topic, but said:
"I'm thinking......"
"Don't think about it." Jiang Baimian responded in disgust.
However, her attitude is not too tough, and there are a lot of jokes in it.
"I'm thinking, does Master Zenaga need to sleep......" Shang Jianyao seemed to be facing an eternal problem.
His question translates to how much awakened people at the "spiritual corridor" level need to sleep.
Bai Chen near the door immediately replied:
"It should be, at least Dimarco will."
If it weren't for this, the "old tune team" would not have had a chance to destroy Dimarco's body at that time.
Shang Jianyao then said:
"Is Master Zenaga sleeping now?
"I don't think he's the kind of person who turns day and night upside down."
Belch...... If Master Janaga is sleeping now, then he can't use his "telepathy" to monitor us and prevent us from escaping? Hearing Shang Jianyao's question, Long Yuehong instantly flashed through her thoughts.
The same goes for Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen.
This is what Shang Jianyao wants to express.
"Zen Master, are you sleeping?" Shang Jianyao looked at the air ahead and asked questions.
No one answered him.
Seeing this, Bai Chen said considerately:
"Do you want to propose to run away now?"
"Master Janaga didn't look at us, it doesn't mean that there were no other monks watching." Jiang Baimian shook his head, "This is the headquarters of the 'Crystal Consciousness Sect', and there are many strong people."
"Yes, yes." Long Yuehong deeply agreed.
If it weren't for a series of strange events and wonderful coincidences that had happened since last night, he would have thought that staying honestly at Sikaro Temple would be the best choice.
Anyway, the plan of the "old tune team" is to wait for the initial turmoil in the city, so where to wait?
Within ten days, there was really going to be turmoil in the city at first, and the "Crystal Consciousness Sect" should have no one to take care of them.
"How do you know if you don't try?" Shang Jianyao encouraged his companions.
"Try it and die?" Jiang Baimian reflexively used a sentence he learned from the entertainment materials of the old world.
She then said:
"Moreover, Master Janaga is good at 'prophecy', maybe there is a prophecy that we won't be able to escape here tonight, so we can go to bed with confidence and boldness."
"There are always errors and ambiguities in things like 'prophecy'." Shang Jianyao relied on the rich old world entertainment data reserves to give examples, "Perhaps, the real meaning of 'prophecy' is that we will not escape through the door, but we can climb through the window and climb down layer by layer."
"It's a bit dangerous." Long Yuehong said truthfully.
He mainly refers to himself.
Shang Jianyao's genetic improvement effect is good, his balance ability is extremely strong, not much worse than that of apes, and when he is in the red stone collection, he can walk on the ground on the collapsed building.
The Zenaga was very concerned about taking care of the "old tune team", but they were still not allowed to bring military exoskeleton devices into the room, only allowing them to carry small arms.
"It may also be that Master Zenaga is not asleep at all, and has been secretly staring at us, trying to grasp our escape plan and find out what abilities we have hidden." Jiang Baimian urged angrily, "Sleep, sleep."
"His mind" is not omnipotent, and if a few members of the "Old Tune Group" have not thought about a certain ability, then the Zenaga will not know.
Shang saw that the team leader was as immobile as a mountain, and he said "hey" with a slight disappointment.
Long Yuehong had already calmed down from the bad mood caused by the good nightmare, lay down again, pulled up the quilt, and prepared to continue sleeping.
At this moment, there was a "dong" sound at their door.
It seemed like someone was knocking on the door outside.
"Boom!"
Another knock echoed on the door, and Jiang Baimian's expression, which had not yet been lying down, became extremely solemn.
Shang Jianyao turned around and looked at the wooden door, and said gloomily:
"The ghost is coming......"
Bai Chen originally wanted to open the door to see who came to find her and others in the middle of the night, but in a flash, she noticed the unusual reactions of Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao.
"What the hell is it......" Long Yuehong muttered and sat up.
At this time, Jiang Baimian asked Shang Jianyao in a deep voice:
"Is there no one?"
No one ...... Long Yuehong's expression froze all of a sudden.
"There is no human consciousness outside." Shang Jianyao no longer used the tone of telling ghost stories, but answered seriously - after knocking on the door, even the awakened person who could hide his consciousness could no longer hide his induction.
This made Long Yuehong and Bai Chen even more afraid and tense.
They could see from Jiang Baimian's reaction and the questions raised that the team leader also thought that there was no one outside!
In the next second, there was another "bang".
"Open the door and take a look." Jiang Baimian pulled out the "Ice Moss" pistol with his backhand.
Shang Jianyao had wanted to do this for a long time, so he suddenly reached out and opened the door.
The corridor outside was dark and clean, and there was only one light at a distance between the street lights, and the hot wind passed through without any obstruction at night.
No one really exists.
Long Yuehong turned over and got out of bed, picked up the pistol.
"No one." Shang Jianyao leaned his upper body into the corridor, glanced left and right, and said in a lengthened tone, "Who is knocking on the door?"
No one answered him.
This psychological quality...... Long Yuehong finally calmed down too much of her emotions, and thought with a little envy.
"Wait a little longer." Jiang Baimian ordered Shang Jianyao.
She wasn't too nervous, after all, this was the headquarters of the "Crystal Consciousness Sect", and Janaga was a compassionate monk.
As long as the Zen master does not blacken on his own, the probability of a serious problem is not high.
The "Old Tune Group" waited for a while, but never heard the sound of "dong" again.
"It's boring......" Shang Jianyao shook his head and closed the door.
"Boom!"
Shang Jianyao had just closed the door when there was another knock.
This scared Long Yuehong almost jumped.
Jiang Baimian pondered for a moment:
"Let's see how long 'he' will knock on it."
"Okay!" Shang Jianyao became enthusiastic again.
The sound of "dong" sounded from time to time, and it was not until the end of the seventh path that it did not appear for a long time.
This made Giuseppe wake up in a daze.
"Knocked on the door seven times." Jiang Baimian concluded.
She looked at Bai Chen and the others, pondered for a moment:
"What do you think is the situation?"
Shang saw that Yao had already had a manuscript and replied directly:
"Soul Returning Night! Chief Soul Returning Night!"
"Then why did he knock on our door?" Long Yuehong asked with a little horror.
"Because he left the note to us!" At times like this, Shang Jianyao's logic is always very clear.
"Then why seven times, no more, no less?" Long Yuehong asked again.
Shang Jianyao laughed:
"Seven-level pagoda!
"Seven is the lucky number of the 'Crystal Consciousness Teaching'."
"But nothing happened after we opened the door......" Long Yuehong "struggled to the death".
"You have to wait until seven times before the door opens." Shang Jianyao put on a posture that if you don't believe me, I will open the door for you now.
At this time, Jiang Baimian cleared his throat and said:
"I remember that the awakened person in the 'Bodhi' realm can interfere with matter after entering the 'Spiritual Corridor', could it be someone who manipulated the air, changed the wind pressure, and created a movement similar to knocking on the door?"
As soon as she finished speaking, another voice came in at the door:
"Boom!"
