"Grandma, thank you." Shang Jianyao waved his hand and said goodbye to the old lady who was enjoying the shade under the tree.
He skillfully switches identities, greets people of different ages and states, and chats about various things to figure out what this place is.
In this way, he kept chatting until his mouth was dry and mentally exhausted, and roughly confirmed that he was currently in the family area of the Fourth Research Institute.
This research institute is located deep in the deserted wasteland, and the main body is underground, similar to "Pangu Creatures".
After the destruction of the old world, several farms and pastures attached to them were not affected, and they survived tenaciously until the 21st year of the new calendar
Yes, in the memory of the room owner, it is now the 21st year of the new calendar.
The people Shang Jianyao is currently meeting in this psychological shadow seem to be smart, can chat, and have their own memories, but they are not as good as those passengers in the shadow of the cruise ship, because once his thinking jumps and the topic is pulled far away, the people here not only can't answer, but also talk nonsense.
Based on this, Shang Jianyao judged that the reason why they were able to ask and answer questions and chat normally was because the room owner had been with them for a long time, and various conversations arose from time to time, involving many things.
After these memories are mobilized by the subconscious, the corresponding characters look quite real.
"I still haven't encountered any danger, it's as if I'm home." The honest Shang Jianyao did not hide his doubts.
The calm and rational Shang Jianyao thought for a moment and said:
"Perhaps the focus of this psychological shadow is not the courage to face danger, so naturally there is no superficial danger."
After all, in order not to affect the owner of room "506", this place is used as a place for awakened people who have just entered the corridor to adapt to the things of exploration.
"What should I do?" The reckless Shang Jianyao blurted out, "We have all chatted for a while, but there are no clues except to find out some information."
He was referring to the clues that broke through this psychological shadow.
Zen Master Pudu is quite calm about this:
"If you can't find it, forget it.
"The big deal is to change to a separate room with a strategy."
During the discussion, Shang Jianyao did not forget to observe the surroundings.
Combined with some details he noticed in his previous chat, he gradually discovered an anomaly:
None of the people in this family area have ever approached the exit gate!
No matter how complex and diverse their movement trajectory is, it does not involve that area.
"Is it the psychological shadow of the room owner at the exit, so that everyone here 'subconsciously' avoids it, or did the family area of the Fourth Research Institute really have a rule that you can't get close to that area?" The calm and rational Shang Jianyao rubbed his chin.
He didn't wait for other colleagues to join the discussion, and suddenly handed over his body to the reckless one.
The reckless Shang Jianyao immediately turned his body and walked towards the door at the exit.
Other merchants held a try to see if they could stimulate a beneficial change mentality, and successively chose to default, only the vicious one controlled his mouth and kept babbling:
"Don't have the bold mentality of a master artist!
"Don't feel that the psychological shadows involving the elderly have broken through, how can such a simple room capsize in the gutter?
"This is related to the nine major research institutes of the old world, it's better to be cautious!"
In the midst of the long-windedness, Shang Jianyao slowly approached the gate area.
Calm.
He brushed the floor and turned back, looked at the people in the family area, and found that no one was paying attention to him.
Shang Jianyao maintained his current posture and moved step by step towards the iron fence gate with a sentry posture.
Suddenly, those people in the family area who were enjoying the coolness, busy, or coming and going looked at each other at the same time.
The white-haired old lady sitting on the bench under the tree then showed a frightened expression.
Some of the others were panicked, some nervous, and some angry, as if Shang Jianyao had offended them, while others were full of hatred and hatred, as if they were saying with their eyes, "Why do you dare to do what we dare not do?"
Boom!
There was a sudden explosion in the gate area, and a cloud of flames rose with smoke and dust, turning into a huge mushroom.
Shang Jianyao rushed out in advance, and the military exoskeleton device was "embodied" on his body.
With the help of this thing, he jumped dozens of meters without being shrouded in the explosion, but his back was still hit by the air waves.
Snap, even with a military exoskeleton device, Shang Jianyao couldn't maintain his balance, fell so dizzily that he felt that several bones were broken.
At the same time, the expressions of those people in the family area have changed again.
They looked cold, their faces were stiff, and there was no emotion in their eyes, as if they had died a long time ago, but they all looked at the intruders who were trying to break the stable lives of themselves and others.
When Shang Jianyao saw this, he immediately shouted:
"Don't move!"
Wherever his voice reached, everyone stopped moving, as if they were playing the game of one, two, or three wooden men.
Kicking and kicking, Shang Jianyao, who was wearing a military exoskeleton device, ran wildly, and sometimes jumped like a thorn in his back.
Finally, he ran to the building where he first appeared.
With a step, he left the "506" room, rushed into the corridor, and then lay down on the surface of the dark yellow thick carpet without any image, spread his limbs, and gasped for breath.
After a while, the honest Shang Jianyao snorted twice:
"Don't talk about martial arts!
"Why don't you warn first, then shoot, and then bomb?
"How can a normal person plant that equivalent mine at the door? There are still guards there!"
The vicious Shang Jianyao sneered:
"This is a psychological shadow, and it is not strictly compared to reality.
"As long as the owner of the room has encountered it before, or even just seen it, the corresponding things may pile up in the same place.
"I told you, be careful, you don't believe it!"
"Namo Arudhara was just injured by an explosion, and his spirit was a little traumatized, so there was no big problem." Master Pudu replied peacefully.
The calm and rational Shang Jianyao said thoughtfully:
"I suspect that not only is there a problem with the gate area, but anyone who tries to leave that family area will encounter various dangers.
"This is a reflection of the corresponding fear of the owner of the room."
"So, even if you face these dangers head-on, even if you break through the psychological shadow?" The reckless Shang Jianyao manipulated his body and stood up on the ground, looking like "go back now and be bombed a few more times".
He was forcibly controlled.
The calm and rational Shang Jianyao rubbed his chin:
"I always think it won't be that simple.
"The fear corresponding to each psychological shadow is different, simply avoiding danger and escaping somewhere, which has been experienced before.
"If you explore more and clarify this issue, I think it will be safer."
"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao, who had no opinion, agreed.
The vicious Shang Jianyao stood on the side of the colleague he hated the most this time.
Since everyone was bombed, injured, and needed to recover, Shang Jianyao and the others exited the "Spiritual Corridor" and fell asleep.
…………
349th Floor, Area C, 12.
Because his parents went to a colleague's house as a guest, Jiang Baimian stayed leisurely in the study alone, browsing some public news with his father Jiang Wenfeng's account.
Unable to find anything interesting, she took out the pattern on the copied multi-descendant talisman, opened the old world folklore database she had established, and tried to retrieve and compare.
To this end, she also used a drawing board to sketch the corresponding patterns according to the gourd.
"There is no complete consistency." Jiang Baimian was busy for a while, looking at the computer screen, and said to himself silently, "I can only say that it looks more like it at a rough view, but I actually didn't follow the corresponding rules, of course, it may also be because my database is not perfect enough and there are many omissions."
After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Baimian disassembled the pattern.
After disassembling and reorganizing again and again, she frowned slightly.
From the simplest point of view, the pattern is composed of a woman and a baby, both of which have a bit of hieroglyphic meaning, but Jiang Baimian is sure that they are not real hieroglyphs.
"A woman, a baby, is enough in meaning, but it seems that it is not attentive enough, it is too simple......" Jiang Baimian shook his head, planning to listen to the results of Long Yuehong's inquiry tomorrow.
…………
The next morning, 647th floor, room 14.
Long Yuehong recounted the information she got from her grandmother and the corresponding feedback.
"Is it my turn to appear next?" Although Shang Jianyao's face was a little pale, he was still very excited.
"Yes, that's right." Long Yuehong suddenly hesitated.
Let this guy test it, will it make the problem bigger?
He has this trait!
"Yes." Bai Chen replied very firmly.
Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao:
"What's wrong with you, you didn't sleep well last night?"
"Something happened when I broke into the psychological shadow of the '506' room, but fortunately, the headache recovered after two or three days, and it did not affect my ability to use it normally." Shang Jianyao is quite honest.
Jiang Baimian said "heh":
"In the '506' room, which is recognized as the simplest, you can play with moths?"
"Tossing more is conducive to grasping more information." The calm and rational Shang Jianyao skillfully changed the subject, "I have confirmed that the owner of room '506' is from the Fourth Research Institute."
Jiang Baimian suddenly became interested:
"Really?"
After communicating about this issue for a while, Jiang Baimian thought for a while and said:
"I suspect that the key to this psychological shadow is not to break out, but to find something else.
"It doesn't seem to be predominantly dangerous, it probably represents another kind of fear."
Shang Jianyao nodded happily:
"That's what I thought too!"
Papa, he applauded himself and Jiang Baimian.
After a day of nothingness, when they were about to get off work, the four members of the "Old Tune Group" got together again to discuss the matter of Shang Jianyao asking for more children and grandchildren.
