Embers Ad Infinitum

Hearing Shang Jianyao's answer, Jiang Baimian and Long Yuehong were amused, and even Bai Chen couldn't help but pursed his lips.

This guy is also working hard to hack himself!

"Zhang Qubing is very good." Jiang Baimian joked, then said, "I'll call them first and ask them to see what the surveillance cameras saw."

As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number.

After being connected, she briefly talked about what happened to Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong last night and raised her own questions.

Then, she said "hmm" from time to time while listening to the story on the phone, with a very focused expression.

"It's exactly what I thought." Finally, she hung up the phone and said to Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong, "There was no one stripping off and running in the surveillance. Shang Jianyao did stay in front of Room 23 for a while. Time seems to be talking to people, but no one lives there at all.

"People from the 'Order Supervision Department' opened the target room this morning. There are no traces of human activity inside."

Shang Jianyao nodded gently, raised his body half-way, raised his arms, and responded with emotion:

"Everything is a fantasy, why take it seriously?"

"Do you think you suffered from the influence of hallucinations?" Jiang Baimian said thoughtfully, "Your mental problem is in another direction. Theoretically, there will be no visual hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, etc., and Xiaohong was also beside you at the time. , he is a normal person, and he will not suddenly get sick."

Long Yuehong was deeply pleased with the team leader’s evaluation:

"Yeah yeah.

"But the philosophy of the 'Natural Sect' doesn't sound like the belief in the 'Broken Mirror'."

"It is mentioned in the information that there is no very inevitable connection between which person you believe in and which ability you awaken." Bai Chen pointed out the problem with what Long Yuehong said just now.

Jiang Baimian said "hmm":

"You can't say that. A more accurate description is that there is no absolute connection. The data also says that among the followers of the Zhi Sui, there is a high probability that the abilities of the awakened ones belong to the corresponding fields."

But no matter which description method is used, Long Yuehong's judgment cannot be established.

Jiang Baimian left his seat, walked back and forth a few steps, and said after careful consideration:

"There are two possibilities. One is that you encountered an illusion and there was no one running around naked. The other is that the surveillance camera was interfered with and what was recorded was an illusion."

With Tarnan's experience, they are extremely convinced that the ability in the "broken mirror" field can affect electronic products, but it is not clear what level the awakened person needs to reach to achieve this.

"Perhaps both." Shang Jianyao suddenly became excited as he spoke, "I want to prepare the Bagua mirror, the trapped ghost bag, the Qian Yang golden lamp and the pure Yang talisman water!"

This translates into human terms as a vanity mirror, a linen bag, a flashlight, and a bottle of water with floating ashes.

Obviously, Shang Jianyao was deeply impressed by Zhou Yue Zhou Guanzhu's performance, and he mastered a series of vocabulary after supplementing old world entertainment materials.

Jiang Baimian secretly curled up his lips and said:

"No need.

"We can just report our guesses. The company is so big, and I don't believe there aren't a few powerful Awakeners. It would be better and safer to leave any problems to them to solve. Anyway, if the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up."

Shang Jianyao looked disappointed.

Jiang Baimian had originally written a mission report for this outing. At this time, she specially extracted the Tarnan section. Based on Shang Jianyao's experience, she gave a brief feedback on what happened last night and put forward Speculations about the "Old Tune Group".

As for the mental evaluation, she planned to wait until after the review was completed.

…………

In the evening, Long Yuehong, who did not eat in the canteen of the "Security Department", returned to her home, rolled up her sleeves, and showed her parents, brothers and sisters how to make hot pot.

The bone soup base had already been prepared, so the follow-up was relatively simple. The family soon gathered around the dining table to enjoy a new experience.

Long Dayong took out a piece of tender pork, rolled it in sesame oil with salt, millet pepper, minced garlic, and chopped green onion, and stuffed it into his mouth.

This is all the dipping condiments that can be obtained in the "Material Supply Market" on the 495th floor.

"It's not bad..." Long Dayong praised vaguely, "Only after I actually ate it did I remember that your grandfather said that there was something similar in the old world, but he couldn't get it before. Waiting for his father, that is, After your grandpa Zeng died, no one knew what to do. Hey, it was such a waste of energy quota..."

"Eat your food, swallow it before you talk!" Gu Hong felt that Long Dayong's behavior was teaching bad children.

Fortunately, Long Zhigu and Long Aihong were both focused on picking up the hot meat slices and had no time to talk to their father.

Long Yuehong didn't fight with them. She looked at them with a smile and asked casually:

"Mom, I heard that the 'Order Supervision Department' sent someone to check rooms 20 to 30?"

Gu Hong nodded immediately:

"Yes, I came here in the morning. There were still people who were not at work at that time, so I happened to see it."

"Are we going to allocate those empty rooms?" Long Yuehong asked knowingly.

Gu Hong looked like "Are you stupid?"

"How come someone from the Order Supervision Department came to reassign the room?

"I guess someone used the empty room to do something bad."

This is not too uncommon among "Pangaea creatures".

For example, although gambling is prohibited in the company, and whoever loses in a card game often has no seat and can only squat, but as long as there is such a thing as card playing, it is inevitable that some people will take advantage of it and use their contribution points to make bets. The company certainly cannot control family entertainment during holidays, and there is no need to control it, but real gambling still cannot appear openly and can only be carried out secretly in unassigned rooms or in certain people's homes.

"Is that so..." Long Yuehong didn't ask any more questions and threw herself into the business of eating hot pot.

…………

Not long after the lights were turned off, Long Yuehong appeared outside Room 23, Area C, holding a flashlight.

Sure enough, he waited until Shang Jianyao.

"Do you want to go in and conduct a search?" Long Yuehong was pleased that her judgment was correct and asked.

This is also his purpose.

Such a room was not too far away from his home, which really made him feel uneasy.

Although the company must have high-end power to handle this matter, and maybe everything has been solved secretly, he had to confirm it himself to truly feel at ease.

Anyway, people from the "Order Supervision Department" have already gone in and searched, and found no problems. They did not warn the surrounding residents to prevent them from peeking into the situation out of curiosity.

This made Long Yuehong feel that there was no hidden danger.

Of course, he did not say this out loud, fearing that the good would not work and the bad spirit would come to pass.

Shang Jianyao looked Long Yuehong up and down and showed a sunny smile:

"You really need a mental evaluation."

"Ah?" Long Yuehong was stunned for a moment, then woke up:

If it were him in the past, he would definitely pretend that nothing happened and just live one day at a time. Anyway, if the sky falls, there will be a tall man to hold it up, so there is no need for him to worry. How could he be as active and proactive as he is now.

As his expression changed slightly, Shang Jianyao walked to room 23, holding the door handle with one hand, taking out his electronic card with the other, inserting it into the crack of the door, and gently opened the lock.

He gently twisted the handle with his left palm, preparing to push the door inwards.

At this moment, Shang Jianyao stopped.

At the window next to the door, the curtain was still tightly closed without any gaps.

Shang Jianyao seemed to turn into a statue and stood frozen there for several seconds.

"What's wrong?" Long Yuehong asked warily.

Finally, Shang Jianyao took back his hand and electronic card and let the door lock again.

In the light of the flashlight, his face was uncertain.

"What's wrong?" Long Yuehong took a step back and asked again.

Shang Jianyao turned his attention to him:

“The moment I opened the door, I felt like my consciousness would leave my body.

"It's like there's a whirlpool inside."

Long Yuehong glanced at Room 23 with slightly dilated pupils:

"How did you find out?"

Shang Jianyao pointed to his head and smiled:

"Thank you Mr. DiMarco."

The keen sense brought by that turquoise night pearl? A keen sense for something like that? Long Yuehong said with understanding:

"Aren't the people from the 'Order Supervision Department' okay during the day?"

Shang Jianyao smiled and said:

"Maybe it's for us."

Long Yuehong shivered and was frightened.

"It may be that the abnormality only occurs after the lights are turned off." Shang Jianyao raised the flashlight and shined it on his face, "Maybe there is something wrong with those people, but they haven't been discovered yet..."

His voice became drifty and slow.

"Hiss..." Long Yuehong finally couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air, "Then what should we do now?"

Shang Jianyao answered naturally:

"Go back to sleep!"

After speaking, he walked towards Area B.

Long Yuehong thought about it and felt that this was the best way at the moment.

He completely gave up the idea of ​​entering the room to search.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly heard Shang Jianyao say:

"Don't open the door yourself later and wake up your parents."

Are you afraid that I will encounter similar problems? Long Yuehong nodded quickly:

"good."

Shang Jianyao returned to silence, took a flashlight, and slowly wandered back to Room 196, Area B.

He took out the brass key, inserted it into the keyhole, and twisted it slightly.

When he opened the door, Shang Jianyao's movements were so slow that it felt exaggerated, as if he was performing a mime by himself.

This slowness only lasted for two seconds before returning to normal. Shang Jianyao easily opened the door and walked into his home.

Nothing happened.

…………

The next morning, room 14 on the 647th floor.

Jiang Baimian couldn't help but frowned after hearing Shang Jianyao talk about his feelings yesterday:

"There seems to be something wrong with that room..."

"It is recommended to bombard." Shang Jianyao gave the plan.

Jiang Baimian knew that he was thinking of "gunfire" and smiled and said:

"Let's just leave this matter alone and let the higher ups handle it.

"I will remind them, well, just say that when you passed by last night, you heard slight movement in that room again. It is recommended to closely monitor all the employees of the Order Supervision Department who have entered that room."

She didn't want to expose DiMarco's remaining aura.

"Okay." Long Yuehong felt that this was the best solution - it not only reminded the company's senior management, but also did not require him and others to take risks.

Jiang Baimian immediately smiled and said:

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Our review is over and the rewards have been distributed."
