Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 322 Like a dream (please ask for monthly tickets during the double period)

Long Yuehong's first reaction was to believe that Shang Jianyao really didn't see it. It was only after her second reaction that she realized:

How do you know there will be needle holes if you don't see what they are?

Therefore, he ignored Shang Jianyao's words, frowned, and said to himself:

“Could this be a case of the ‘natural sect’ slipping through the net?”

"There is no sense of public morality." Shang Jian Yao commented like a chicken talking to a duck.

Long Yuehong shined her flashlight on the intersection in the distance and said uncertainly:

"Is it just a sudden mental illness?"

As a company with a large population, there are always a few people in "Pangu Biology" who suffer from mental problems every year.

And it’s not surprising what this kind of person does.

"It's also possible that someone robbed him of all his clothes." Shang Jianyao suggested another possibility.

Long Yuehong glanced at him:

"Did you think it was outside?"

The vicious cases within "Pangu Biology" are often crimes of passion, and there has never been such a thing as robbing someone else's clothes.

If so, there is a prerequisite - the offender suffers from mental illness.

Shang Jianyao did not answer Long Yuehong's rhetorical question and said with a smile:

"It's not too far from your home."

ah? At the first moment, Long Yuehong didn't understand what Shang Jianyao meant at all.

But soon, he figured out the key point that the other party wanted to express:

The person who was suspected of being a follower of the "Natural Sect" just entered a room in Area C, which was not that far away from his home.

——Shang Jianyao has been able to sense all human consciousness within thirty meters.

Long Yuehong's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and her spirit entered a highly tense state.

"Go to the 'Order Supervision Room' to report a crime?" He asked thoughtfully while shining a flashlight on the dark corridor and street.

Shang Jianyao patted the flashlight held in his right hand with his left palm:

"good idea."

Long Yuehong breathed out:

"Then let's go there now."

The "Order Supervision Room" on this floor is next to the "Activity Center" in Area C.

Shang Jianyao nodded and said thoughtfully:

"I remembered something."

"What?" Long Yuehong asked subconsciously.

Shang Jianyao sighed:

"Uncle Shen originally wanted to go to the 'Order Supervision Room' to report the 'Life Ritual' cult, but after entering, he suddenly became an 'unintentional person'..."

This made the hairs on the back of Long Yue's red neck stand up, as if a shadow fell from the sky and enveloped him.

He reluctantly said:

"This time is different from that time. The 'Natural Sect' has suffered a serious blow."

He didn't want to pretend he didn't see anything and return home as if nothing had happened, because the place where the man just lived was really too close to his home.

A fire at the city gate can easily affect Chiyu.

"I'm just reminding you to pay attention to something." Shang Jianyao seemed to have returned to a normal state.

After saying that, he turned on the flashlight and walked towards the intersection in the distance.

Long Yuehong quickly followed.

In the process, he subconsciously reached out to his waist, but found that the familiar "Ice Moss" pistol and "United 202" were not there.

In the deep darkness, two flashlights illuminated the road ahead. The surroundings were far from quiet. The employees who had just laid down on the bed and were still asleep made whispering sounds from time to time.

As she walked, Long Yuehong suddenly felt something was wrong:

"This is not the way to the 'Order Supervision Room'..."

The roads in the underground building are not complicated.

Shang Jianyao flicked the flashlight and said with a smile:

"Go talk to that person first."

"That person?" Long Yuehong asked while already figuring out who Shang Jianyao was referring to - the person who was suspected of being a member of the "Natural Sect" just now.

He asked thoughtfully:

"You want to know why he joined the 'Natural Sect' and whether there is any room for salvation?"

Then decide whether to report to the "Order Supervision Room".

"I want to ask what the Holy Communion of the 'Natural Sect' is." Shang Jianyao glanced sideways at Long Yuehong, as if it was strange that he asked just now.

As expected of you... Long Yuehong sighed, but still felt that Shang Jianyao had the meaning he thought.

As they talked, they arrived at a room.

The number on the door is "23".

Floor 495, Area C, Room 23.

The windows here are covered with thick curtains, leaving no gaps.

"Is this right here?" Long Yuehong lowered her voice and asked.

Shang Jianyao nodded first, then moved his body and said to Long Yuehong:

"You stay away and provide support."

This time, his voice was deep and there was a seriousness that could not be denied.

"Uh, okay." Long Yuehong took a few steps back.

When he stopped, Shang Jianyao flexed his fingers and knocked on the door of Room 23 three times.

After a brief silence, a male voice sounded slightly urgent:

"who?"

"Shang Jianyao." Shang Jianyao introduced himself politely.

"I don't seem to recognize you." The male voice behind the door said doubtfully.

"It doesn't matter, we know each other from now on." Shang Jianyao said with a smile.

The man behind the door was silent for a few seconds:

"What on earth do you want to do? I will call the order supervisor!"

Shang Jianyao clapped the flashlight he held in his right hand with his left palm:

"Yeah."

The male voice behind the door asked with a trembling voice after a while:

"You, what exactly do you want to do?"

"I just saw you on the road and felt that you were not in good condition. I wanted to ask if you need help." Shang Jianyao put on the posture of an enthusiastic crowd.

The man's voice behind the door suddenly became a little sharp:

"No, I'm fine, you can go back."

"Really?" Shang Jianyao looked like "I don't believe it."

The male voice behind the door seemed to be crying:

"Really, I'm really fine. Go back quickly, go back."

While listening, the light of the flashlight in Shang Jianyao's hand moved downwards and shined on the gap at the bottom of the door.

In the yellowish light, there was no black shadow in the gap.

A few steps away, Long Yuehong was listening to the conversation between Shang Jianyao and the man behind the door, while quickly recalling who lived in this room.

As an old house in Area C, although his family was not here before, he was not too unfamiliar with it.

As her thoughts flashed, Long Yuehong's eyes suddenly froze and she blurted out:

"This room is unoccupied!"

He remembered that several rooms in this row had not yet been allocated!

After shocking herself, Long Yuehong quickly added:

"It was like this before we last went out, and now I don't know."

They were away for several months, and it was normal for the room allocation to change within the company.

Shang Jianyao nodded lightly, smiled and knocked on the door of Room 23 again:

"I heard no one lives here?"

There was silence behind the door, and no one responded.

Shang Jianyao didn't ask any more questions, turned around and walked back to Long Yuehong.

He said calmly:

"Go to the 'Order Supervision Room'."

"Okay." Long Yuehong responded reflexively.

After walking out of this street, he suddenly came to his senses and asked:

"Why don't you keep asking? Why don't you just open the door and go in?"

Shang Jianyao shook his flashlight and watched the yellowish beam of light drifting around, and said calmly:

"The human consciousness inside was gone."

"This..." Long Yuehong was instantly horrified.

He didn't ask any more questions and followed Shang Jianyao to the "Order Supervision Room" next to the "Activity Center".

As old residents on this floor, they all knew each other and were no strangers to the two "order supervisors" on night shift. After greeting each other, Shang Jianyao said:

"When we were going to the toilet just now, we saw someone running naked on the road."

After explaining the case, he added a comment:

"Immoral!"

"Running naked?" One of the "Order Supervisors" seemed to remember something, and his expression became a little solemn, "Did you see which room he entered?"

Just as Long Yuehong was about to answer, Shang Jianyao shook his head:

"No."

"Then I'll contact the superiors to check the surveillance." The "Order Supervisor" just nodded and said, "You can go back first. Don't worry, it's nothing serious."

"Okay." Shang Jianyao immediately turned around and walked out of here without any hesitation.

Long Yuehong followed him and asked doubtfully:

"Why didn't you say it was room 23?"

Shang Jianyao's expression was unusually calm:

"Let the two of them die?"

"That's right..." Long Yuehong came to his senses, "It's better to let them report it and let the higher ups investigate."

After separating from Shang Jianyao and returning to her own home, Long Yuehong washed herself briefly and lay down on her brother's upper bunk.

He listened to the movement on the street outside, hoping to wait for a result.

However, the night is always so peaceful.

I don't know how long it took before Long Yuehong reluctantly fell asleep.

…………

The next morning, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong arrived at Room 14 on the 647th floor in a peaceful and peaceful environment.

Jiang Baimian, who was staring at the computer screen, looked up at them and said doubtfully:

"Why did the higher-ups suddenly send an email asking us to collectively do a mental state assessment?"

Although this is a process that every team or brigade on field duty will have after returning, under normal circumstances, no one will rush it, and the leader of the team will make an appointment and arrange the time to do it on his own.

Jiang Baimian originally planned to let Long Yuehong and others see a psychiatrist after the review was completed, otherwise he would not know what to say and what not to say, but now he suddenly received such an email.

This gave her the feeling that the group's mental problem was serious and the higher-ups knew about it.

Long Yuehong thought for a moment and said before Shang Jianyao:

"Maybe it has something to do with what we experienced last night."

He quickly gave an overview of the "Natural Sect" and what happened last night.

"What does this have to do with letting us evaluate our mental state?" Bai Chen felt that the two things were not connected.

Jiang Baimian said "uh":

"Perhaps, after checking the surveillance cameras above, they found that there was no one running naked at all. Shang Jianyao was talking to the wall at that time..."

"This...team leader, don't scare me." Long Yuehong couldn't help but shiver.

Jiang Baimian laughed when he heard this:

"What are you afraid of? It's not like you haven't experienced illusions before?"

At this point, she breathed out slowly:

"Why have there been so many things since I came back..."

With a sweep of the floor, Shang Jianyao turned his attention to Long Yuehong.

Bai Chen resisted and did not move his neck.

Long Yuehong quickly defended:

"I wasn't the one who caused the incident with the 'Life Sacrifice' sect before."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Jianyao showed a thoughtful expression.

"You are here, what are you thinking about?" Jiang Baimian asked tentatively.

Shang Jianyao nodded slightly and replied seriously:
