Chapter 21 The Voice of Pain (Asking for a double monthly pass at the beginning of the month)
Liu Chuan stared at Shang Jianyao for a while and said:
"No one lives inside, but there is often some slight movement."
"No one has gone in to explore, no one has died inside?" Shang Jianyao asked.
Liu Chuan replied:
"I don't know if anyone has been in the 'New World' before I entered, but after I came in, many friends reminded me not to try to explore places that are obviously a little weird."
His meaning is simplified:
In his impression, no one had ever entered that courtyard, so naturally no one died in it.
Shang Jianyao looked disappointed:
"Then what were you nervous and afraid about just now?"
Liu Chuan didn't want to explain anymore, so he repeated his previous words:
"You can go back to where you live, I will inform you before the official action."
"Okay." Shang Jianyao didn't force it, waved his hand dashingly and said, "See you later."
After leaving the café, he walked all the way to the outer area of the "New World" and came to the gray courtyard again.
After staring at the building submerged in darkness for a few seconds, Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and left palm and said:
"Last time I climbed over the wall to get in, this time I walked through the main gate to see if there was any change!"
The vicious Shang Jianyao immediately mocked his reckless colleagues:
"It's okay last time, but something happened this time, is it considered a change?"
"Forget it!" The reckless Shang Jianyao was not ambiguous at all, "Anyway, there is Xiao Chong's tiger skin, what are you afraid of?"
The vicious Shang Jianyao was very aggrieved, but there was no way to stop him.
He just wanted to split out now and stay away from this brainless guy.
Shang Jianyao pushed open the wooden door of the courtyard and walked in step by step.
The two lanterns hanging at the door of the main room lit up, reflecting a red light.
"Why two lamps, is there anyone else here?" Honest businessmen see Yao and ask questions.
The reckless Shang Jianyao replied indifferently:
"What's so strange about this?"
"These two lanterns are supporting products and belong to the same set of lights.
"There was a light in the café before, which was composed of many small lights, and every time it was turned on, didn't it glow at the same time?"
As he spoke, he walked into the main hall and came all the way to the outside of the side room where Lin Chu's photos were placed.
Shang Jianyao was not in a hurry to go in, turned his body sideways, and pressed his ear to the door.
He was often reckless, but sometimes his patience was amazing, and he kept this posture and listened for seven or eight minutes.
Finally, there was a whimpering low cry in the wing, as if it were nothing.
This time, Shang Jianyao did not push the door directly in to see what was going on as before, but stayed outside and asked through the door panel:
"What are you crying about?"
The low cry suddenly stopped.
Shang Jianyao asked again:
"Do you have anything sad? It will feel better to say it."
There was silence in the compartment, and the low cry just now seemed to be just an illusion.
Master Pudu whispered the Buddha's name:
"Namo Arudara, do you need help, donor?"
No one responded to him, and it looked like there were only dead things inside.
Shang Jianyao thought for a while, sighed, and chanted:
"Who is crying somewhere in the world at this moment?
"Crying in the world for no reason,
"Cry me.
"......" (Note 1)
This is a Red River poem he learned from old world entertainment materials when he was in Gerstburg, and he was always ready to perform a recitation in his quest for novelty, which was very suitable for this situation.
However, no one appreciates his literary and artistic cells.
Shang Jianyao was disappointed:
"Can't you take the literary and artistic route?
"This building is a courtyard with a gray earth style, and Lin Sui is also a gray earth person, so he has to recite gray earth poems?"
Shang Jianyao began to use his brain to recall suitable ancient poems and words.
At this moment, the whimpering low cry sounded again.
Immediately afterwards, a certain ethereal female voice said with strong pain:
"Too often, eternal life means eternal pain......"
Shang Jianyao's eyes lit up first, and then blurted out:
"This is too strict! It does not conform to the expression habits of normal people when they are depressed or even sad!
"Most people will definitely only say 'eternal life means eternal pain' and will not add the modifier phrase 'many times', although this is more reasonable and closer to the real logic, but who would consider this aspect when it is sad?
"Are you studying science and engineering?"
There was silence in the side room, and no one responded.
Shang Jianyao waited for a long time, and gradually became a little "panicked":
"You talk!
"I finally waited for you to speak!"
The sound of the wind in the side room disappeared, and the low crying and painful female voice gave people a feeling that they had never appeared before.
Shang Jianyao jumped up and down:
"I apologize to you, I shouldn't have raised the bar.
"Please, how can you forgive me?
"If you don't speak, I won't be able to kneel here!"
He slowly used some lines from old world entertainment materials, looking like he was enjoying himself.
Unfortunately, there was no reaction in the wing.
…………
After entering the "Spiritual Corridor", Jiang Baimian adapted for a while, and then prepared to go deep into the small city and explore the area around the tower.
She obtained a spiritual shield from Shang Jianyao, chose day instead of night, and once again infiltrated the real "new world".
Although she was already familiar with this journey and could not be familiar with it anymore, the increased cost still made her lose her way several times.
The consequences of getting lost seem to have become more serious, and she directly ran into a bunch of "heartless people" several times, making her efforts to hide human consciousness and rely on military exoskeleton devices to sneak around were almost in vain.
Fortunately, those "heartless" ignored her and cooperated with each other to do their own thing.
"The world in the mirror!"
Jiang Baimian sensed them in advance and used the ability "World in the Mirror".
She found that it might be more appropriate to call this ability a "virtual machine".
It can extract environmental elements and build a virtual world that is exactly the same as the current one, in which those "mindless" live, and their every move must be filtered by Jiang Baimian to be reflected in reality, and the same is true for the feedback of reality.
In this way, Jiang Baimian only needs to exclude himself when "building" that virtual world, and those "heartless people" simply don't know that such a person is passing by him.
Even if there are many instinctive operations in between, there are also quite high requirements for the computing power of the human brain.
Coupled with the help of the auxiliary chip in her biological prosthetics, the authenticity and completeness of the "world in the mirror" she built is not much worse than that of the awakened people who explore the depths of the "Mind Corridor", but there are significant shortcomings in coverage and the number of people influenced.
Relying on the "world in the mirror", Jiang Baimian, who was unmanned to navigate, finally arrived at the end of each depth safely.
This is only more than twenty meters away from the outermost light of the tower.
Jiang Baimian took a breath and walked slowly towards the tower.
After walking for a while, after coming to the place where she originally showed signs of "no heart disease", Jiang Baimian only felt that everything was normal, and there was no throbbing pain in her head.
"Sure enough, after the level is raised, the resistance to consciousness extraction is significantly stronger......" Jiang Baimian sighed silently.
She immediately used her ability to interfere with electromagnetism to build a weak barrier around her.
She was imitating the spiritual shield provided by Shang Jianyao, but because she couldn't grasp her own consciousness, she could only follow the cat and the tiger like this, which was better than nothing.
A few steps later, Jiang Baimian came to the critical line where those "heartless people" disappeared.
She was ready to use the "mirrored world" before moving forward cautiously.
Almost instantly, Jiang Baimian felt that the barrier around him had become scattered, and his whole person was as if he had passed through a thick water curtain.
Her eyes changed, and two buildings, one large and one small, appeared there.
The big one has thick towers and gray-white buildings, judging by Jiang Baimian's knowledge, this should be a nuclear power plant.
The smaller one is about a kilometer away from the nuclear power plant, and it has a unique shape, like a solidified and aqua blue vortex. It is not too high, only twenty or thirty meters, and the overall trend is horizontal, and the curtain wall of the façade is not particularly shiny in the sun, which is not very consistent with the current weather conditions.
Countless "heartless people" haunt the nuclear power plant, and only a few are near that small building.
This is seven or eight points similar to the scene Jiang Baimian expected.
"Even the sunlight is refracted by the illusion before entering it......" Jiang Baimian nodded thoughtfully.
She was clear that the next target should be the small building, not the nuclear power plant.
Because the number of "heartless people" in this area was counted in thousands, exceeding the number of targets that Jiang Baimian could currently influence, she did not immediately approach the small building, but continued to hide her human consciousness and found a nearby shelter to hide.

PS: Ask for a double monthly pass at the beginning of the month~
PS2: The previous chapter mainly wanted to reflect the feeling of reducing seemingly useless dialogue into useful information through layers of processing, and because each dialogue has something to deal with, it cannot be replaced with ellipses. Since many friends think water, this chapter is free and compensated to everyone.
