After listening to Gnava's answer, Shang Jianyao suddenly raised his right hand holding the "Berserker" assault rifle and whispered a Buddha's name:
"Namo Arudhara Three Bodhisattvas."
"What do you mean?" Gnava sincerely asked for advice.
He knew that this was a Buddhist mantra, but he didn't know why Shang Jianyao used this place.
Shang Jianyao sighed and said:
"It may be that the ripples we caused last time caused the 'heartless' here to die."
Gnava, who was holding the chameleon's head, moved the neck made of metal up and down:
"There is a certain probability."
Shang Jianyao immediately pointed his gun at the dilapidated apartment in front of him and said:
"Go in."
Based on the details provided by Gittis, he and Gnava quickly found Esther's home in Konimis.
It is located on the top floor of the apartment, connected by two houses, and the living room is unusually spacious, but there are only a few single sofas, a coffee table with leather edges piled up with miscellaneous items, and some cabinets on the wall, and all kinds of toys are scattered on the floor.
This includes a large number of building blocks.
Some of them have piled up into fortresses, some have turned into animals, and some have not yet been completed, and the corresponding components can be seen around them.
Dust accumulates everywhere here, visible to the naked eye.
Ghnava's eyes flashed with red light and looked at him for a while before he said:
"There is no hospitality function here, it has become a playground for children."
It can be seen that this is the subjective will of Esther or his mistress.
They didn't think about entertaining guests at home, and they didn't even want to put more sofas.
"They should love those two children very much......" Shang Jianyao suddenly said this.
Gnava thought of his daughter and fell silent for a moment.
In silence, his eyes swept over every corner of the living room, and finally fell on a photo frame placed on the surface of the coffee table.
There are two children in that photo, the eldest is a boy, four or five years old, slightly fat, his golden hair is combed into an adult feeling, he looks awkward and disgusted, he seems to be reluctant to take pictures, the younger is a girl, he looks like he is one or two years old, his blonde hair is tied into pigtails, his blue eyes are clear and ignorant, he smiles carefree, sweet and cute.
Compared with other ruins, which have only been destroyed for more than ten years and there are no relics that hunters dare to enter, many things here are still quite intact, as if they have been sealed in place by time.
Gnava stared for a while before saying:
"The occupants should never come back."
"Why do you say that?" Shang Jianyao asked abruptly.
"First, there is no trace of biological activity here, and second, when the disaster breaks out, the whole city should have become 'heartless'." Gnava dutifully explained.
Shang Jianyao shook his head and said very seriously:
"The 'heartless' also know how to go home."
Gnava did not refute, but just analyzed it according to this logic:
"There is no trace left by the 'heartless people' in the living room, unless they enter and exit directly through the windows of several bedrooms."
"Check it out." Shang Jianyao held a "Berserker" assault rifle, walked into the living room, and walked towards the rooms in the depths.
Every scene he and Gnava saw had a quiet but desolate feeling, and the masters really never seemed to come back.
Looking at the big bed protected by the fence and the toy bear on the big bed, Shang Jianyao was silent for a long time.
Gnava stared for a while before saying:
"They should have been walking or playing outside, not at home......
Judging from the fact that many vehicles collided with each other on various roads in Konymis, the disaster broke out during the day.
The last time Shang Jianyao and Gnava judged that when the residents of Konymis first became "heartless", they were unable to calm down, and large-scale killings occurred among each other.
Shang Jianyao didn't speak, walked to the bedside, picked up the teddy bear and the diamond necklace on the nearby cabinet, and stuffed it into the empty backpack behind Gnava.
Then, he walked back to the living room, found a block box, dismantled the fortress into small pieces, and put it inside.
Similarly, this ended up in Gnava's backpack.
After completing these things, Shang Jianyao looked around and said in surprise:
"We didn't have any accidents!"
He looked like he was laughing at his unwise fate and the enemy's recklessness.
"It's normal." Gnava analyzed, "This is not the area that overlaps with the 'New World', and there are no 'heartless' activities, and Esther is not particularly powerful and involves many hidden characters.
"It's boring." Shang Jianyao looked disappointed.
He immediately used the communication system embedded in the military exoskeleton device to tell Jiang Baimian that Esther's last wish mission had been completed.
"Don't be careless, be absolutely cautious afterwards." After hearing this, Jiang Baimian specially advised.
Shang Jianyao agreed very quickly.
Then, he and Gnava headed from the current street to the luxury apartment identified on the map.
It didn't take long for the area shrouded in fog as if it was forever in the night appeared before their eyes.
Shang Jianyao and Gnawa were familiar with the road, turned on their flashlights, bypassed the place where the lights were shining, and approached their destination step by step.
The deeper they go, the greater the range they would detour, so as not to be sensed by the strong in the projection of the "New World".
After all, there is no guarantee that they must be acquaintances, they must be friendly people like Flora and Barnard.
Flora and Barnard were the first two "New World" powerhouses that Shang Jianyao and Gnava met in the overlapping place.
They were chatting in a lighted café.
Of course, the café is a projection of the "new world", and in reality, it is just an empty room with garbage.
During another detour, Gnava looked at the corpses on the side of the street and in the middle of the road, looked sideways at Shang Jianyao, who kept a certain distance from himself to avoid being taken away by a pot, and said:
"Our strategy is working now and should help us get to our destination.
"But after that, if you want to take a detour and try to take advantage of it, I am afraid it will be very difficult, don't you worry that the 'Angel of Life' necklace will no longer be able to protect you? Just like the last time we met the man in the library projection."
Shang Jianyao looked forward through the mask of the military exoskeleton device and smiled:
"Since fate has arranged for us to come all the way here, I think we will definitely turn bad luck into good fortune and gain something.
"Isn't it okay to take it easy when you can?"
"But when fate achieves its purpose and no longer favors us, things will be completely different." Gnava reminded in a slightly synthetic voice, "Dabai said that the backer is falling, the wall is collapsing, and only you are the eternal support."
Shang Jianyao scoffed:
"You let a person live on his own for the rest of his life, and he died when he was a baby!"
"You can debate with Dabai." Gnava said it was not something he said.
Shang Jianyao laughed and said instead:
"If fate really doesn't favor us anymore, then it should be the end of the story."
His tone gradually became serious and serious.
"Aren't you afraid that the story will have a tragic ending?" The red light in Gnava's eyes flashed twice.
Shang Jianyao turned his head sideways, looked at Gnava, and said with a smile:
"I will try to fight for the ending I want, whether it is good or tragic. This is my ideal, and I have done so much to have an opportunity to make choices for my ideal."
After saying that, he slapped the "Berserker" assault rifle on his left chest and said solemnly:
"For all mankind!"
Before Gnava could respond, Shang Jianyao had already asked eagerly:
"How is it, am I becoming more and more like a real 'Salvation Army'?"
He behaved like a child who was looking forward to praising and fearing criticism.
"......" Gnava almost didn't turn this corner and almost had a bug.
Honestly, he finally moved his neck made of metal up and down:
"Yes."
Shang Jianyao was suddenly elated, so that Gnawa didn't know for a moment whether he was performing just now or if he was telling the truth.
The two walked forward for a while, and then they encountered a street with lights shining through the fog.
It seemed like there were roadside stalls one after another.
Shang Jianyao's eyes straightened when he saw it, and it was very difficult to withdraw his gaze and said to Gnawa:
"This time we have to go around a block."
"Yes." The same is true of Gnava's analysis.
After going around for a few minutes, Shang Jianyao suddenly said:
"Why are there lights in the projection of 'New World'?
"We came in at different times twice.
"Why can't we have a dark 'New World' projection, quietly overlapping with the dark and foggy streets? In that case, we can't detect it in advance and choose to take a detour!"
Gnava has to admit that this is a good question.
He quickly analyzed for a while and said:
"Maybe the projection of the 'New World' in Konymis is related to the strong people of the 'New World', at least we meet humans every time."
What he meant was that the strong increased the power of the corresponding area, causing that part of the "New World" to overlap with Konymis.
Gnawa went on to add:
"And those strong people can only live in places with lights in the 'New World'?"
"It's interesting." Shang Jianyao slapped himself on the chest with a "Berserker" assault rifle.
He looked like this guess was very much in line with his temperament.
At this time, Gnava determined the current location and compared the map.
He immediately said in a slightly synthetic voice:
"Bypassing this block, you should be able to see the luxurious apartment where the 'son of the year' lives."
"Looking forward to it!" Shang Jianyao said unabashedly.
After walking forward for another ten or twenty minutes, the two finally successfully bypassed the dangerous area they had divided.
What appeared in front of them was a high-rise apartment building standing 100 meters away.
It stands quietly in the dark, shrouded in a faint mist, and every floor and room has yellowish or pure white lights.
