Chapter 551 First Exploration
Outside room "1215", on the "Spiritual Corridor".
Different from the past, the ten merchants not only held items that were not similar, or not, but also had certain differences in their clothing, which made them more distinguished.
Shang Jianyao, who was wearing a deer hunting hat, rubbed his chin, looked around and said:
"Vote for everyone.
"We are a democratic team, and the minority obeys the majority."
"You are the tyranny of the majority!" Shang Jianyao, who was still wearing a gray camouflage uniform, had something to say.
He is honest and likes to refute, and he can never hide his words.
Shang Jianyao, who was wearing a deer-hunting hat, took out a pipe from nowhere, sniffed it and said:
"For efficiency, certain sacrifices must be made."
He then said:
"Okay, raise your hand to agree to enter this room to explore."
After brushing the floor, the five merchants raised their right hands.
This includes the most reckless and bold one, the one who always habitually agrees with "yes, yes", the one who likes to joke, the one who is jealous of evil and is not used to bad things, and the one who seeks novelty and curiosity, loves to sing and dance.
"Five to five, I can't make a decision." Shang Jianyao, who was wearing a deer hunting hat, held a pipe in his mouth and looked embarrassed, "It's better to have only nine like before."
He is the convener and moderator of the Consultative Committee for Democracy.
The honest Shang Jianyao immediately retorted:
"Others can abstain, nine can also draw."
"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao, who agreed, equipped himself with a robotic arm.
The small speaker and portable recording device he used to use belonged to the one who loves to sing and dance.
"Two benefactors, stop arguing." Shang Jian Yaogui, who turned the "Six Consciousness Beads", persuaded.
He put on a yellow monk's robe, put on a red robe, his face was black, and his eyes even glowed red, like a half-mechanical monk.
The cowardly merchant who was also wearing gray camouflage sneered:
"Who knows what's behind the door, it's very dangerous to explore rashly.
"I finally got promoted to the 'Spiritual Corridor', and I have real self-protection power on the gray soil, how can I take such a risk?"
"No, what you said is wrong." The honest Shang Jianyao retorted, "There may be dangers hidden behind every door, will you never explore and stop like this?"
After saying that, he seemed to have made up his mind and raised his right hand:
"I thought about it seriously and agreed instead."
Shang Jianyao, who was wearing a deer hunting hat and a black coat, sighed long:
"The result of the referendum is:
"Enter the door and explore!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ten merchants saw that Yao was back in one, wearing the gray camouflage on his body.
After taking a few steps forward, Detective Shang Jian Yao grasped the door handle of "1215".
The rooms in the "Mind Corridor" didn't seem to be really locked, he just used a gentle force, twisted and pushed, and the crimson door opened backwards.
It was dark inside, with only a faint light that made it impossible for people outside the door to see what was exactly there.
Shang Jianyao, who had already made a decision, walked in without hesitation, his eyes gradually adapted to the light here, and saw that this was still a corridor rather than a carefully arranged room with some kind of meaning.
In this regard, Shang Jianyao was not surprised.
Based on his current common sense of "spiritual corridor", he can basically draw a conclusion:
The "room" corresponding to each person seems to be very small, but it is actually a whole spiritual world including the "Sea of Origin".
Therefore, as a result of the transformation of the "Spiritual Room", only the owner or visitors with the owner's permission can see and touch it, and the intruder is equivalent to directly descending into the other party's "Sea of Origin".
If everyone's mental world is compared to a networked computer, then the former is equivalent to just touching the firewall and is about to be tested again and again, and may encounter danger at any time and be eliminated by the corresponding forces, while the latter almost bypasses all defense mechanisms and faces the core part.
In other words, if everything goes well in the room "1215" and explores the deepest part, it is equivalent to completely invading the "Sea of Origin" of the room owner, just like Dimarco did before.
From this aspect, it can also be seen that the ability of "Fate" is really strong.
Once he is deeply immersed in it, he will not be able to get rid of it.
As for suffering from "unintentional disease" like the "Dream Protector" of the "Mirage Dragon Sect", Jiang Baimian suspects that similar experiences may only occur if he breaks into a few special rooms.
Of course, for the Awakened people, many rooms do not need to be explored to the deepest part of the room, and after confirming that there is no door to the "new world" here, they will often choose to evacuate.
Shang Jianyao didn't know whether the corridor in front of him belonged to the room owner's fear island or some of his nightmares, so he curiously took off the flashlight "hanging" from his waist and pushed the button.
A clear pillar of light shot out, but it was engulfed in the surrounding darkness and failed to produce any effect.
"Without using the power of the Awakener, you can't directly change the environment of other people's spiritual worlds? Unless it has been completely invaded?" Shang Jianyao raised his hand and rubbed his chin, and said a few words to himself.
He was carefully documenting these details.
After confirming that the flashlight he had embodied was ineffective, he gave up his attempt and looked around with the help of the faint light in this corridor.
The floor tiles and the decorations on the walls on both sides are extremely exaggeratedly distorted, and many details appear messy, as if to intuitively highlight the original fear of the experiencer.
The light came from the ceiling, and fluorescent lamps hung high, but they were dim as if the voltage was insufficient.
Shang Jianyao did not move forward immediately, but took two steps back.
He exited room "1215" and returned to the "Spiritual Corridor".
After confirming that there was only one way forward, Shang Jianyao no longer wasted time, passing through the door and along the corridor, step by step.
It didn't take long for a silver-white metal wall to appear in front of him.
The wall is blocked there, making it impossible to move forward.
In the center of it is a door that slides sideways, and there are elaborate electronics next to it.
At this time, the door slid open a little, revealing a thick gap.
On the other side of the gap, it was dark and deep, and no sound came out.
Standing not far in front of the door, Shang Jianyao intuitively felt a strong fear.
He was influenced by the environment here and the spiritual world of others, and indescribable fear, fear, and uneasiness arose for no reason.
Shang Jianyao immediately said to himself:
"The owner of the room has encountered an extremely terrible thing behind such a door?
"This is what he experienced before he became an Awoken person, or before he crossed the 'Sea of Origin', corresponding to a certain island of fear? Or did it happen after he entered the 'corridor of the mind', leaving him with lingering nightmares?"
If it is the former, Shang Jianyao has a lot of hope of successfully exploring, and if it is the latter, it will definitely not be easy to scare an awakened person at the "Mind Corridor" level.
Looking at the silent darkness behind the door, Shang Jianyao once again differentiated into nine other selves and voted to decide whether to go deeper.
This time, the cautious group won with an absolute advantage of 8 to 2.
Respecting the voting results, Shang Jianyao joined in, left room "1215", and closed the vermilion door.
Then, he posed for the front pose of the 100-meter race.
In the next second, Shang Jianyao rushed out and ran wildly, as if he wanted to measure where the end of the corridor was.
After running for an unknown amount of time, he stopped panting.
At this time, most of the rooms around him had no golden house numbers, and the old brass lock seemed to be blocked by something.
They all belong to ordinary people and awakened people who have not passed through the "Sea of Origin", and cannot be opened from the corridor.
And the end is still unclear, and it is out of sight.
After testing his ability for a long time, Shang Jianyao raised his hand and rubbed his temples on both sides, and chose to quit.
He was extremely mentally exhausted, so he didn't care about going to the activity center to listen to everyone's chat, so he fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Shang Jianyao went to the small cafeteria for breakfast and entered Room 14 on the 647th floor, which belonged to the "Old Tune Group".
Jiang Baimian was already typing on the keyboard there earlier than him, rushing to report.
Looking up and seeing Shang Jianyao coming in, she frowned slightly and said:
"I wrote last night about 'Buddha's Response' falling asleep, and occasionally when I woke up, I thought of something."
"What?" Shang Jianyao asked with great interest.
Jiang Baimian said after consideration:
"Based on the information obtained before and the evidence this time, we can preliminarily determine that the awakened people who enter the 'New World' either abandon their bodies or fall into a deep sleep, and rarely wake up to deal with things.
"If you put the latter situation in the company, who would you think of?"
Shang Jianyao touched his chin, and his expression gradually became serious:
"Big boss."
