Chapter 896 Lamp
Shang Jianyao happily walked towards the classical building, intending to knock on the door to visit.
He has always been polite.
Just as he was approaching the door, in the only room in the entire building with lights on, a slightly sharp female voice sounded:
"Don't come in!"
This is in the Red River language.
The sound came far away in the dark and quiet streets, bringing out the feeling of emptiness.
"Why?" Shang Jianyao was puzzled and asked.
He stopped on the side of the street, raised his head, and looked at the lit window on the second floor.
On the painted glass, the dim light quietly flowed out, but did not outline a figure.
The slightly sharp female voice swayed again, but it was a little quieter:
"This is my home, and I don't allow anyone to enter."
"Oh, oh, oh." Shang saw that Yao was good like a stream.
At this time, only the street lamp next to him and the second floor of the building in front of him had light to dispel the darkness.
"Then can I ask a few questions?" Shang Jianyao made a new request, "I just came here and don't understand many things."
He was quite honest and didn't hide anything.
There was silence behind the uninhabited window on the second floor, and the woman did not agree or refuse.
When Shang Jianyao acquiesced to her plea, she asked:
"Is this a 'new world'?"
"Yes." The woman's voice passed through the window and entered the empty and dead street.
Shang Jianyao asked:
"Then are you an awakener at the 'New World' level, or are you an aboriginal here?"
The woman was silent for a few seconds:
"There are no aborigines here."
"Was it driven out and killed?" Honest business advice to get to the bottom of the matter.
This time, the woman did not answer.
Shang Jianyao asked instead:
"Are the people here as friendly as you?"
The female voice sounded again in the quiet "night":
"I'm not as kind as you think if you forced your way into this house just now.
"In the 'new world,' avoid those who are starving, and don't touch the price of others."
"Isn't the 'New World' free of hunger and disease?" Shang Jianyao was shocked.
The woman's voice was silent for a while and said:
"You have entered the 'new world' and should know what I mean by hunger."
"But I'm not hungry at all." Shang Jianyao expressed doubts.
The dim yellow light from the window on the second floor shook slightly, and the female voice immediately said:
"It seems that you still retain your body, and you haven't met any of the older or stronger awakened ones."
"So it seems that it is a good thing to keep your body?" Shang Jianyao raised his hand and rubbed his chin.
"Not necessarily." The woman's voice did not give a detailed answer.
Shang saw that Yao's thinking jumped and changed the problem:
"The core of this place is the tower?"
"Yes." The woman's voice paused and said, "The elders live there."
Her tone revealed unconcealable fear.
"That's right." Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and left palm "snapped", "Then I have to go to the tower to register."
At the window on the second floor, the lights did not flicker and no sound came out.
After a while, the woman's voice said slightly urgently:
"Don't ask anymore, I can't answer you other questions."
"Who said that?" Shang Jianyao retorted, "I still want to ask you whether you are timid or vigilant, don't you even know what your own price is?"
At the window on the second floor, the lights shook violently a few times, but there was still no figure appearing.
Shang Jianyao didn't seem to understand the other party's "eviction order" at all, and asked himself:
"Then why didn't you turn off the lights? So no one knows you're hiding in the room.
"Could it be that without the lights, the darkness will swallow you?"
The woman's voice came from behind the window:
"The light is the embodiment of your spirit and consciousness, and it will only go out when you die."
Shang Jianyao suddenly realized, and once again clenched his right fist and left palm and said:
"No wonder wherever I go, the street lights turn on, and everything before them goes out!
"I thought it was because the elders were both hospitable and saved electricity."
The woman's voice did not respond.
Shang Jianyao asked again:
"Then what danger is hidden in the darkness here?"
"There is no danger." The woman's voice became a little more and more impatient.
Shang Jianyao said "Oh":
"Is there daytime, it can't always be night, right?"
"There is no daytime." The woman's voice said quite quickly.
"Why?" Shang Jianyao was puzzled.
The woman's voice was sharp again:
"I don't know!"
She was silent, only the light from the window indicating that she was still there.
Shang Jianyao asked a few more questions, but the other party did not answer, so he had to wave his hand and said:
"Then I'll go to the tower, we'll talk later."
He continued along the dark and silent street, and the street lamps followed his footsteps, lighting up one after another and extinguishing one after another, always leaving only one.
On the second floor of the building in the back, the dim lights have been quietly illuminating the small area.
Shang Jianyao took a few steps and glanced at the tower, not knowing what he was thinking.
Suddenly, he clapped his hands and said "to himself":
"I still remember what the tower looked like from the place where Enhu was imprisoned......
"Analyze which floor of which building should be able to determine......
"Do you want to visit Enhu first? Listen to how he describes the 'new world'?"
Shang Jianyao was very active, and did what he said, and immediately changed his route and walked in the general direction.
…………
On the mountain road outside the Eighth Research Institute, Jiang Baimian parked the jeep in a hidden place on the side of the road.
She immediately looked at Shang Jianyao in the passenger seat and thought about what to do next.
The most critical point at present is that she has to establish contact with Shang Jianyao in the "New World" as soon as possible and get corresponding feedback.
Without that information, it would be difficult for her to determine the follow-up ideas.
As for how to "contact" Shang Jianyao, Jiang Baimian had already made a plan.
At the beginning, Shang Jianyao had a certain communication with the sleeping Yan Hu!
Jiang Baimian exhaled, extending his spirit and connecting with Shang Jianyao's consciousness.
Her eyes suddenly became dark, and only a few glimmers flickered in the distance.
The shimmering light gradually brightened and condensed into a street lamp, and Shang Jianyao wearing gray camouflage was standing under the lamp.
"Save me!" Shang Jianyao waved his right hand with a happy expression.
Jiang Baimian was startled:
"Why are you shouting like that?"
Perhaps because the two sides were separated by a thick barrier, her voice seemed very low, so she turned up the volume and repeated it again.
Shang Jianyao smiled and said:
"I'm imitating Yanhu."
"......" Jiang Baimian was silent for a few seconds and said, "The mental state is not bad."
She wasted no time and immediately asked:
"How about it, is our speculation true?"
She didn't mention anything specific, worried that it would trigger the monitoring of "sensitive words" and cause Shang Jianyao to suffer harm.
——The "Salvation Army" Those strong men who tried to reveal the secrets of the "New World" did not end well.
"Yes." Shang Jianyao nodded solemnly.
In the "new world", the awakened person can absorb the human consciousness of the target to replenish itself.
Jiang Baimian couldn't help but sigh and asked instead:
"Is there a 'heartless person' in the 'New World'?"
"I haven't encountered it." Shang Jianyao replied truthfully.
From this point of view, those "heartless people" like the living dead belong exclusively to the real "new world"? Then I can only sneak in and investigate by myself...... Jiang Baimian frowned slightly and said:
"Where do you think the secret of the 'New World' is most likely to be hidden?"
"That tower! The elders live in it!" Shang Jianyao replied excitedly.
The elders live in the tower of the "New World"...... What about the real tower? Jiang Baimian's thoughts were spinning without stopping at all.
At this time, Shang Jianyao babbled:
"There are still many differences between here and reality, the tower is very high, there are lights everywhere, and the architectural style is not so uniform, there are classical buildings in the style of the Red River, there are courtyards like gray clay in ancient times, and there are high-rise buildings in the old world......"
The real small city belongs to the style of ten or twenty years before the destruction of the old world, but there are no high-rise buildings.
"Hmm." Jiang Baimian currently does not know what to say about this.
Shang Jianyao took the initiative to say:
"Each lamp here represents the spirit and consciousness of the corresponding awakened person, and will not be extinguished unless they die."
Speaking of this, he "snapped" his right fist and slapped his left palm:
"I understand! At the beginning, there was only a little glimmer of light in Yanhu, and the whole person was like lying in the dark, because his consciousness was close to dying!"
So that's how it is...... Jiang Baimian also nodded.
Shang Jianyao continued:
"I plan to go to Yan Hu first and visit him to see what he will say."
Jiang Baimian frowned again:
"Yan Hu was imprisoned, aren't you afraid of angering the people who imprisoned him?
"That could be a young man."
Without giving Shang Jianyao a chance to find a reason, she put forward her own suggestion:
"You first find Flora, Barnard and other friendly 'New World' powerhouses, figure out the corresponding situation, and then consider what to do after that."
