Shang Jianyao looked back and saw that there was indeed no one in all the rooms, so he had to sigh and look at the blood-red door in front of him again.
"At this point, I can only go in and ask Xiao Chong in person!" The reckless Shang Jianyao, representing the majority, said in a low voice.
Overcoming all kinds of difficulties, he stretched out his hands, pressed them on the door, and began to exert force.
The blood-red door slowly opened, and it was dark inside.
Shang Jianyao strode through the door.
His surroundings were suddenly shrouded in pitch blackness with no fingers outstretched.
"Xiao Chong! Xiao Chong!" Shang Jianyao shouted loudly.
His voice spread far away, but there was no feeling of echoing, which made this place not look like the inside of the room, but a vast wasteland.
"Xiao Chong! Xiao Chong!" The merchant saw that Yao was persistent.
Still no one responded to him.
Just as Shang Jianyao was trying to embody the loudspeaker, he heard a whimpering sound.
It was a woman crying softly not far away.
"Xiao Chong, you still have a female personality?" Shang Jianyao was shocked and envious.
The woman cried low and ignored him.
Shang Jianyao started to guess on his own:
"Is it the aggrieved personality caused by being bullied?
"Uh, how do I feel that this cry is so familiar, I feel like I've heard it somewhere......"
"Ah yes!" Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and left palm and said, "I heard it in that gray courtyard!"
The young scientist Lin Sui was suspected to be from the Eighth Research Institute.
Shang Jianyao instantly became interested:
"Xiao Chong, you secretly fell in love with Lin Sui as an adult, so much so that you split into a personality that imitates Lin Sui?"
The low-crying female voice stopped, and you said:
"I am Lin Sui."
"Huh?" Shang saw that Yaozhang and the second King Kong were confused.
Fortunately, his IQ is not low, he has a calm and rational side, and he has been influenced by Jiang Baimian, so he quickly thought of a possibility:
"What I just opened was not a real blood-red door, I entered the illusion you created?
"You really came to stop me!
"Are you the 'broken mirror' in November?"
The female voice sighed ethereally:
"If you keep going, you can get out of here."
"Uh......" Shang Jianyao was stunned again, and then suddenly realized, "Have you secretly fallen into the status quo change faction?"
Lin Sui didn't answer his question, and sobbed as if he were innocent.
Shang Jianyao asked quite kindly:
"Are you forced?"
Lin Sui was still crying not far away, sometimes left and right, sometimes back and forth, there was no definite position, as for consciousness, Shang Jianyao was completely unable to sense it.
"Since you don't say it, then I won't ask." Shang Jianyao was very polite and changed the subject, "Why did you want to maintain the status quo in the first place, and why have you changed your position now?"
Lin Shao's voice sounded faintly:
"You can keep moving forward."
Obviously, she didn't want to answer Shang Jianyao's question.
Shang saw that Yao was trying hard to persuade him, but the other party cried again, as if he was hiding a belly full of sadness.
"Okay, okay, I'll leave now." On the one hand, Shang Jianyao knows how to be polite and civilized, but on the other hand, he is worried that entanglement will anger Lin Sui and lead to a brutal attack.
He took a step forward like a blind man and walked a few meters forward, and a faint black appeared in his vision, like a washed ink stain.
The mass of darkness stood there, as if it was the gate to leave.
At this time, Lin Sui was still sobbing vaguely in the depths of the darkness.
Shang Jianyao kindly comforted:
"I don't know what kind of pain you have suffered, I can only advise you to take it easy."
Saying that, he opened his hands, raised his body slightly, looked diagonally upwards and said:
"Dreams are everywhere, why be serious?"
Lin Sui was silent for a few seconds and said:
"I taught them this sentence."
"......" Shang Jianyao was speechless for a while.
Lin Sui started crying lowly again, and within a few seconds, even the crying disappeared.
It was only at this time that Shang Jianyao walked towards the lighter darkness.
After coming closer, he found that it was indeed a door, and there was a faint light in the gap.
Shang Jianyao opened the door and walked out.
But he did not return to the corridor, but appeared in a green field.
The sky here is clear, with pagodas and linden trees towering everywhere, and gold, silver, agate, glass and other things scattered everywhere.
A little further away is a mountain, and on the top of the mountain, there is a huge Buddha who looks like a golden cast on the lotus platform.
Around the mountain, monks wearing yellow robes and red robes sat there, listening intently to the Buddha's teachings.
Some of them had deep wrinkles, some of their faces were black, reflecting the Buddha's light, and what they had in common was that they were indifferent to Shang Jianyao's approach.
"It turns out that the Buddhist army is here." Shang Jianyao had doubted before that there were few monks in the "New World" outside the tower.
He immediately manifested the half-human and half-mechanical Pudu Zen Master Dharma, folded his hands to the Buddha, and bowed:
"Namo Arudara Three Bodhi, I also ask Bodhi Buddha to enlighten the poor monk and relieve my confusion."
The Buddha sitting on the lotus throne with his back to the Bodhi tree did not respond to him, and said to all the monks in a solemn and grand voice:
"Birth, dwelling, and extinction, all dharmas are empty......
"All actions are impermanent, which is the law of birth and death; Birth and death destroy oneself, silence is joy......
"The body is silent, separated from all appearances, so it is called silence......
"All actions are impermanent, and the living will die; If you don't live, you won't die, and this destruction is the happiest ......."
Zen Master Pudu scratched his head again and again when he heard this, he couldn't wait to show his true nature and make a big fuss about this "Pure Land of Bliss" and ruin the Buddha's teachings.
He kept asking, but the Buddha ignored it, only talking about the principle of entering and extinguishing and the way of transcendence.
"Hey, like 'Shattered Mirror', I don't want to face the fact that I betrayed 'Zhuang Sheng' and secretly changed my position......" The honest Shang Jianyao muttered his speculation.
He had no choice but to go to the golden gate condensed by the Buddha's light at the end of this "pure land".
…………
At the entrance of the whirlpool-shaped building, Jiang Baimian relied on a targeted plan and returned here in just over ten minutes.
——When she was on the outskirts of a small city, she always looked at the tower and walked in a straight line, anyway, as long as she got close to it, no matter which direction she ended up passing, she would come to the area where the nuclear power plant was located.
After coming here, when there were only two large buildings, Jiang Baimian would not get lost to the nuclear power plant, and when she reached the edge of the swirling building, she would repeat the old trick and return to the door in a detour.
Jiang Baimian carried Shang Jianyao on his back, hugged the crate, and quickly passed through the "front desk area" and "waiting area", and once again came to the area she could not enter yet.
She tried to go a meter deep and immediately felt a throbbing pain in her head and had to retreat to her original position.
Without hesitation, Jiang Baimian put the crate containing the nuclear warhead aside.
Then, she untied the straps and let Shang Jianyao get away from her back and lie down on a nearby sofa.
After doing all this, Jiang Baimian sat down cross-legged, took out a water bag, started eating energy bars, and took a short rest.
She was waiting for Shang Jianyao to enter the depths of "Zhuang Sheng's" spiritual world and open the blood-red door.
At that time, she might be able to take the opportunity to enter the area ahead, where the ultimate results of the Eighth Research Institute were likely to be hidden.
In order not to miss the likely short-term opportunity, Jiang Baimian did not plan to continue searching the "general research area" and other places upstairs, and was ready to take a short break and try to move forward every minute to judge whether he could go deeper.
Anyway, going upstairs to explore, the final harvest should also be a bunch of data and the situation of some researchers, relying on them, Jiang Baimian formed a professional team, spent ten or twenty years, should be able to restore the ultimate results of the Eighth Research Institute, but now, the final results are likely to be in the area in front of her, why should she waste extra time?
That's not urgent!
…………
After leaving the "Pure Land of Bliss", Shang Jianyao returned to the aisle.
Not far in front of him, the blood-red gate stood quietly.
Everything he had just encountered seemed to be just an illusion, and from the moment he saw the gate, he seemed to have fallen into a hallucination.
Shang Jianyao turned around and found that the doors on both sides of the aisle were all open and there was no one there, exactly the same as before.
"Amazing!" Shang Jianyao praised the "broken mirror".
In contrast, there is a door on the left and right sides of the blood-red gate, one with a painting of Tai Chi yin and yang fish, and the other with a large number of dots and lines, with a gap inlaid with glass.
At this moment, a face with red eyes appeared on the small window of the door on the right.
And this face itself was silver-black, shimmering with a metallic light.
"Robot! New World" also has robots? The memories of 'Zhuang Sheng'?" Shang Jianyao suddenly became excited.
The face belonging to the robot said through the window on the door:
"Don't move forward, don't destroy everything now!"
"Which year are you?" Shang Jianyao asked politely.
The robot's face suddenly twisted and turned into an LCD monitor.
It said in a slightly sarcastic tone:
"I'm not a boss, we've seen it."
"I can't guess." Shang Jianyao shook his head calmly.
The LCD monitor laughed and said:
"I am the 'future'."
Shang Jianyao suddenly realized at first, and then asked curiously:
"Why didn't you open the door and was locked up?"
