Bai Chen's driving slowed down, allowing Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao on the other side to continue observing the situation in Building 4.
It had completely collapsed, but it didn't involve the surroundings, and not even much dust was splashed.
It's like having an invisible hand holding it all back, creating phenomena that defy the laws of physics.
"Because we took away the little jade Buddha, Building 4 collapsed?" Jiang Baimian observed for a while and made a sound.
"Theoretically, it can't be the problem with those two mobile phones, right?" Shang Jianyao didn't stick his face to the car window this time, but rubbed his chin with his left hand.
"And this is one of the holy places of Buddhism." Bai Chen added.
Obviously, compared to other things, the relationship between the little jade Buddha and Buddhism is closer and more intuitive.
As the vehicle turned, Long Yuehong also saw the current situation of Building 4 and said hesitantly:
"But this kind of collapse is too weird, right?
"After losing the power to sustain it, shouldn't it be disintegrated and the mountain will collapse?"
Jiang Baimian pondered for a moment and said:
"Maybe this is the original state of Building 4, and the little Jade Buddha allowed it to remain unconventional for more than 60 years.
"Now it's just returning, not collapsing, so there's little movement......
"This is an explanation, and another explanation is that the special person who maintained Room 302 through the Little Jade Buddha was still watching Building 4, in order to prevent the bones from being damaged and the scene from being a mess, he chose to work in the air to make the collapse orderly and quiet, just like building a huge tomb."
Slapping, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands.
Long Yuehong thought seriously for a while, feeling that the latter situation was more acceptable.
After all, the concepts involved in the "past tense", "present tense", and "return" are too high-end, and even if the powers of the "Awakened Ones" are very special, they seem to be unable to complete it.
In the midst of her thoughts, Long Yuehong saw Shang Jianyao put his hand into his pocket and took out the little jade Buddha.
"Wait! Wait a minute!" His eyes widened and he almost stuttered.
It's better to take out the weird items from strange places after leaving the ruins of the steel factory!
Otherwise, the ghost knows what accidents will cause!
"It doesn't contain any breath or power." Shang Jianyao didn't care about Long Yuehong's fear at all, and shook the small jade Buddha in the green lake water that was the pendant.
"When you get it, the breath or power dissipates? This led to the collapse of Building 4?" Jiang Baimian thought and made a guess.
"Earlier." Shang Jianyao recalled all the details just now, "When I met it, it was already an ordinary jade ornament."
Long Yuehong looked left and right, and after finding nothing unusual, she breathed a sigh of relief and joined the discussion.
He looked at Shang Jianyao and said:
"It should be that you stimulated the aura of the 'Six Consciousness Beads' and broke the weirdness of the master bedroom, and the corresponding power began to be lost."
Hearing this, Bai Chen asked a question in confusion:
"Is the master bedroom in room 302 covered with illusions?"
"No, it doesn't look like it." The one who answered Bai Chen was Long Yuehong.
He quickly explained:
"I clearly saw Shang Jianyao touching the little jade Buddha, but he didn't feel anything, if it was an illusionary influence, it wouldn't be able to erase the existence of matter, right?"
When Jiang Baimian heard this, he shook his head:
"A particularly powerful illusion should affect the sense of touch."
"Isn't this too scary?" Long Yuehong thought about it for a moment, and felt that such a thing was extremely terrifying, "Think about it, if what we see, hear, taste, smell, and touch are all affected by illusions, we can't tell what is reality and what is illusion!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Jianyao had already opened his hands and tilted his body slightly:
"Dreams are everywhere, why be serious?"
Jiang Baimian smiled and said:
"The major sects in the field of 'Shattered Mirror' probably have similar understandings, and it is difficult to confirm what is true.
"Hey, let's not discuss this issue, we have too little knowledge and information, thinking about it now, it will only give us a headache, it's better to live seriously and live in the moment."
After the discussion that had begun to lean towards philosophy, she asked Shang Jianyao:
"Do you think it's an illusion?"
Shang Jianyao's expression was solemn, he raised his left palm, and Bao Xiang said solemnly:
"It should be the legendary Alaya consciousness?"
"Why?" Jiang Baimian asked.
Long Yuehong and Bai Chen quietly "perked" their ears.
"No." Shang saw that Yao was not straightforward and strong, "Intuition."
Without waiting for Jiang Baimian and others to speak, he added:
"In my opinion, the situation inside Room 302 is like two overlapping worlds, which are related to each other, but in the eyes of those who have not opened the Alaya consciousness, they do not affect each other."
"Have you read too much old world entertainment materials?" Long Yuehong couldn't help but complain.
"The stones of other mountains can attack jade." Shang Jianyao did not deny it, and even smiled.
As they spoke, the jeep had returned to the road leading to the outside of the ruins of the steel factory.
Jiang Baimian didn't interject, and after a while, he said slowly:
"The state I just described reminded me of something."
"What?" Bai Chen, who was driving, asked curiously.
Unlike the previous missions, the expression on her face and the emotions in her words were significantly more.
Jiang Baimian replied in a deep voice:
"New World."
Inside the jeep, there was a sudden silence.
"Team leader, you mean that the new world actually overlaps with the ash and earth, and there is a certain connection, but most people can't see it?" Long Yuehong knew what Jiang Baimian wanted to say, but she still subconsciously sought confirmation.
Jiang Baimian nodded slightly:
"Perhaps only those who have explored the 'Mind Corridor' to a certain extent can feel it, so a door to enter the new world appears in the corresponding room."
"What about the door to a new world in reality? Does it exist?" Bai Chen raised a new question.
"I don't know." Jiang Baimian shook his head, "At least Teacher Du Heng, there are still many people who believe in its existence."
On the gray earth, almost everyone believes that deep within a ruin there is a gate to a new world that will free them from the threat of "heartlessness", famine, aberrations and monsters.
Every relic hunter enters the ruins with similar expectations, not just to gather resources.
"Maybe that's a node?" Shang Jianyao expressed his opinion.
No one agreed with him, and no one refuted him, because it could not be proven to be true or false for the time being.
Seeing that the export of the ruins of the steel mill was close at hand, Jiang Baimian decided to end the topic:
"Hey, put the little Jade Buddha away, and study it carefully when you go back.
"Hmm...... Use tin foil, plastic, paper, and rubber bags to make a four-layer package."
When Shang Jianyao dealt with the little jade Buddha, Jiang Baimian considered it and said:
"We are going to Redstone Market now, and on the way we will send a telegram to Lao Ge asking him to buy a tool to repair the internal data of the broken mobile phone and go there to meet us.
"Before entering the ruins of Tieshan City, I hope to find some useful information or clues from those two mobile phones to reduce the risk of follow-up actions."
"Okay." Long Yuehong and Bai Chen had no objections.
Shang Jianyao turned out the small speaker and wondered what song to listen to next.
…………
Three days after the "Old Tune Team" left the ruins of the steel plant, a team of people with strange behavior arrived.
There were six or seven of them, all dressed in gray, patched clothes, and their hair was shaved short, only a thin layer, and it looked almost non-existent from a distance.
Every time these people took seven steps, they had to kneel on the ground, facing several blast furnaces in the ruins of the steel factory, and made a prostrated bow, their expressions extremely religious.
In this way, they entered the ruins of the steel factory, and then walked and worshipped around the factory area.
After a while, these people came to the second area of the family and arrived not far from Building 4.
The leader is already quite old, with few wrinkles on his face but obvious, and the thin hair on the top of his head is white.
He was a Hong'an man, his expression was like an ancient well, and he couldn't see the slightest wave.
——The Hong'an people are a branch of the Gray Earth people who migrated to the Red River Basin, with a browner complexion and a little natural curly hair.
Looking at the collapsed Building 4, these people stopped moving forward and looked at them in a daze, not moving for a long time.
I don't know how long it took, but the old man at the head sighed long:
"The omen has appeared, the catastrophe is coming......"
He spoke a gray language with a dialect accent.
…………
In the evening, the continuous heavy rain still did not stop, and it was dark as if it was already midnight.
"I remember there was a small city ruin nearby, where you could camp." Bai Chen looked at the wipers swinging back and forth and made a suggestion.
"Okay." Jiang Baimian expressed absolute trust.
Then, she lowered her head and continued to study the two maps in her hand.
They are maps of the ruins of Hongshiji and Tieshan City, and Jiang Baimian wants to memorize them repeatedly to reduce the possibility of getting lost when he moves.
The jeep drove for a while, and black shadows finally appeared in front of it in front of them, crawling in the rainy night.
Bai Chen was about to distinguish the road and look for the stronger buildings to shelter from the rain, when Shang Jianyao in the back row suddenly spoke:
"There are people over there.
"Nearly twenty."
