Chapter 575 "Return" to the starting point (asking for a monthly pass on the last day of September)
The cyborg monk Shang Jianyao stuck his flashing red eyes to the corner of the employee introduction column, and observed it carefully.
Soon, he discovered that there were traces of sticking here, distributed in five places,
And these five places together are about the size of the photo next to it.
In other words, there was once a photo in this corner of the employee introduction column, but I don't know if it was torn off, or if the glue gradually failed after so many years, causing it to fall off and float away.
Shang Jianyao stood up straight, held a flashlight, shone it on the floor of the room, and searched carefully for a while, but never found the missing photo.
Combined with the characteristics of the traces, he preliminarily judged that the photo in the blank space was forcibly torn off.
"Why take it? Is it related to the gaze in the dark?" Shang Jianyao looked around and felt that this was not caused by "unintentional people".
Let's not mention whether the "mindless ones" are interested in things other than food, clothes, and weapons, based on their lack of wisdom, there should be no clues left.
"No, this possibility cannot be ruled out." Shang Jianyao rubbed his chin and retorted to himself, "Do you still remember the situation after the swamp No. 1 ruins were lit up? The old lady had obviously become a 'heartless person', but she remembered to go home, look through her photo album, tidy up her room, and clean up the garbage. This is one of the five holy places of Buddhism, and it is normal to have similar special features."
There is no effective conclusion to air-to-air, and Shang Jianyao and the others did not waste too much time on this matter, shining the light of the flashlight on the "mindless people" who had limited limbs and had difficulty rolling.
He scanned their faces one by one and compared them with the photos of the employees on the wall, but none of them matched.
This shows that the existence of that "professional woman" is not a common phenomenon, but a special case.
This made her problems and lost photos even more confusing.
The cyborg monk Shang Jianyao thought about it, showed compassion, gave up killing the "heartless people", took a flashlight and a "ice moss" with a silencer, and walked back down the aisle.
He was about to observe the situation around him and decide where to go next, when his body suddenly felt cold and became stiff.
It was like a cold wind blowing from the depths of the ice field, freezing him in place.
And it wasn't just his body that froze, but also his thoughts!
Shang Jianyao looked ahead blankly, allowing his body to turn half a circle towards the wall.
Then, he slammed his forehead into it.
Bang!
Shang saw that Yao lost consciousness and fainted.
I don't know how long it took, but he slowly woke up and found himself back in the entrance area of this psychological shadow, where he had smashed a "heartless person" to death with a billboard.
"Is there a bug?" Shang Jianyao expressed puzzlement.
He thought that he had just been attacked and could hardly resist, and the consequences of this situation were nothing more than two:
First, he "died" here, which is slightly equivalent to all the spirits trapped in this psychological shadow, and in reality he became a vegetative state, or died suddenly on the spot;
Second, the injury was not fatal enough, he barely recovered, relying on the props on his body and his Awakened abilities, he forcibly escaped from the "522" room, but left behind serious mental problems.
Of course, this is a normal development, considering that there are ten of them, Shang Jianyao and the others think that there is another result:
One of them died on the spot, creating a chance for the remaining nine merchants, after which they sacrificed a few, and the rest finally escaped from room "522" and returned to the corridor. This will cause him to have indelible psychological shadows in reality, with almost incurable sequelae.
And now, neither situation is the case, after Shang Jianyao and the others fell into a coma, they returned to the entrance area of the "522" room safely, except for the head still hurting a little, and the forehead was red and swollen, nothing special.
Shang Jianyao immediately rubbed his chin:
"This matter is obviously strange, so let's discuss it with Dabai tomorrow."
Calm and rational, he thought that what happened just now seemed more like, it was ......
A kind of warning?
…………
495th Floor, Area C, No. 11.
In the dead of night, Long Yuehong opened her eyes and couldn't sleep.
After lying down for a long time until he was a little thirsty, he turned over and got out of bed, picked up his enamel cup, lifted the lid, and gulped himself.
A cold feeling spread in his throat, turning into lines and digging into his stomach.
This made him more sober.
——The night of "Pangu Bio" is particularly cold, and the water will inevitably lose its temperature after a long time, so the thermos cup is an indispensable part of many families, of course, in the case of not being able to afford or not being able to get a thermos cup, relying on a warm water bottle to drink and pour it is also an option, but Long Yuehong is still half a big and small child When he is full of blood, he has developed the habit of drinking cold and white, and at night, it is the same.
Seeing that there was no water in the cup, Long Yuehong walked out of the room with an enamel cup, aiming directly at the green plastic shell warm water bottle on the dining table.
At this moment, he saw his father Long Dayong coming out of the small bathroom at home.
"Haven't slept yet?" Long Dayong yawned.
Long Yuehong said "Hmm", hesitated for a moment and said:
"I'm thinking about something."
"What's the matter?" Long Dayong asked.
Long Yuehong opened her mouth and replied hesitantly:
"Dad, if you encounter something that is very valuable but also has certain risks, do you choose to do it, or give up and live a stable life?"
Long Dayong instinctively replied:
"I'll listen to your."
"......" Long Yuehong didn't know whether to envy or was speechless.
Seeing that his son did not speak, Long Dayong thought for a while and said:
"Our family's life is also stable now.
"But I remember your grandfather told me that when he was a child, even if he hid in this underground building, he didn't feel safe, because there could be 'heartless people' around him anytime and anywhere.
"Also, after you joined the Ministry of Security, your mother went to meet those women who had people in the front-line army at home, and learned a lot from them.
"She has never mentioned these to you, for fear that you will be nervous, afraid that you will worry about what bad emotions we have, what we can do is to let you relax every time you come back and be happy every day."
Speaking of this, Long Dayong felt it:
"We can have a stable life now, and we really have to thank you and other employees of the front-line army for their sacrifice."
Long Yuehong had mixed feelings when she heard this, but couldn't help but complain in her heart:
Dad, you are talking around, good for a while, bad for a while, I can't hear what your suggestion is at all......
Long Dayong glanced at him:
"Anyway, whatever decision you make, your family will support you.
"Hmm...... If you think you can bear it, then give it a try, don't leave yourself with regrets."
Long Yuehong was silent for a while and said:
"I'll think about it."
…………
The next morning, 647th floor, room 14.
Shang Jianyao told Jiang Baimian, who arrived at the office early, about last night's experience.
"What do you think?" Jiang Baimian did not immediately help analyze, but asked how Shang Jianyao felt.
Shang Jianyao thought seriously for a while and said:
"It feels like a plot killing, and I have no ability to resist at all."
You've played a lot of games, right? Long Yuehong scoffed at Shang Jianyao's words.
Of course, he didn't dare to say it.
Jiang Baimian nodded lightly, thinking and saying:
"Did the owner of the room encounter something similar in the first place?
"Otherwise, your experience would not be so clear, and if he hadn't encountered anything in the food company, the psychological shadow caused by the large number of 'mindless people' would have ended long ago with him entering the 'safe zone'."
"The owner of the room went to the third floor, scared the woman away, and after seeing those photos, his mind suddenly froze, he couldn't control his body, and he hit his head against the wall and knocked himself unconscious?" Long Yuehong joined the discussion and started speculating based on Jiang Baimian's statement.
Shang Jianyao followed this line of thought and thought:
"What about after the owner of the room fainted?
"Was it also 'sent' back to the original place?"
Jiang Baimian shook his head slowly:
"Probably not."
Seeing that Long Yuehong didn't understand why she said this, Jiang Baimian further explained:
"Shang Jianyao explored that psychological shadow for several days and only found a complete route.
"In other words, if the owner of the room is 'sent' back to the starting point, he still chooses the same path to the second food company, which is logically very contradictory. If it were you, after encountering such a weird and terrifying thing, would you go to the second food company to wade through muddy waters? He was not an awakened person at that time!"
"Indeed." Long Yuehong agreed.
Shang Jianyao didn't answer, and now he doesn't know which one it is.
Jiang Baimian continued:
"I speculate that after the owner of the room fell into a coma, he was 'sent' to another place in the ruins of Tieshan City, and when he woke up, he found a safe escape route, so he left that area, and this encounter became his psychological shadow.
"Because these subsequent situations are not in that psychological shadow, Shang Jianyao is back to the starting point."
Long Yuehong nodded first, thinking that this might not be low, and then frowned.
He glanced at Shang Jianyao:
"Doesn't this mean that the psychological shadow can't be broken through at all?"
The owner of the room had no choice but to do anything about it.
Shang Jianyao did not respond, as if he was thinking deeply, and Jiang Baimian laughed:
"No, no, no, it's still possible.
"Have you forgotten that the owner of the room was not an awakened person at that time?
"He will inevitably face this matter when he has to go through the island of fear in the future, and he is now an awakener at the level of the 'Spiritual Corridor', which shows that he has successfully overcome this psychological shadow."
Long Yuehong's thoughts turned around, and Jiang Baimian pointed out the key:
"Then how did he overcome it?
"For such a thing, if you don't return to the scene and face the original fear, you will definitely not be able to overcome.
"So, he should have re-entered the Tieshan Second Food Company. Hey, if you can find the area he didn't touch for the first time, it is likely to squeeze his subconscious mind and let it bring out the second experience to perfect the scene, and there are most of the opportunities in it."
It's so complicated...... However, it does make sense...... Long Yue is sincerely convinced.
"Try it next time." Shang Jianyao looked eager to try.
Jiang Baimian then smiled and said:
"This is just one of the possibilities.
"Another possibility is that the psychological shadow is dynamic, something is connected to something more terrifying, and when the explorer touches it, it will cause additional trouble, and this is something that the owner of the room did not encounter in the first place.
"But this doesn't explain how he grew into an awakened person at the 'Spiritual Corridor' level in the future."
