Embers Ad Infinitum

Combined with the fact that Xiao Chong is "Zhuang Sheng" and has shown the talent of an awakened person at a very young age, Jiang Baimian suspected that the Eighth Research Institute was actually studying the relationship between the human brain and superpowers, striving to master the secret of the birth of consciousness and let Humanity has been sublimated.

This can also be confirmed by the fact that Lin Sui, a young scientist of Northern Company and a member of the major project committee, is very interested in research related to human consciousness.

"In the research based on Xiao Chong and other naturally awakened people, the Eighth Research Institute has made great gains. It is even confident that the consciousness of vegetative people can be restored, and step by step step into the 'divine forbidden zone', and obtain a qualitative change in life. ?

"So they found volunteers such as Li Hui and Jiang Xiaoyue to participate in the project and put the results into practice. Then a big problem occurred in a certain experiment, which caused the instant death of humans in the building and the surrounding area. 'Wuxin Disease' began to appear in the dust A big explosion?" Jiang Baimian ran out of the current room, his thoughts racing, and he quickly ran through the matter in his mind.

The experimental site where the problem occurred is undoubtedly the area downstairs that she cannot enter yet!

If this is the case, it means that most or even all Zhi Sui have become "gods" step by step from human beings. No one is born noble, and latecomers can also achieve Zhi Sui as long as they master the correct method. Our current level.

When it comes to scientific experiments, reproducibility is at the top of the list of important criteria!

If you misjudge this point, you will go astray in many things.

Of course, Jiang Baimian couldn't guarantee that it was really what he thought. What if in the process of studying the human brain, consciousness, and superpowers, the Eighth Research Institute really touched the mystery of the gods? After all, in most creation legends, human beings are the creations of gods, and it is logical that their most important brains have a trace of divinity.

Back in the corridor, Jiang Baimian glanced around and suddenly hesitated.

Her original plan was to return immediately and tell Shang Jianyao everything she found in the swirling building, reminding him not to be deceived by some seemingly normal and reasonable rhetoric, but she could now To the extent of being a road addict, it is impossible to return the same way.

This will inevitably delay her a lot of time, and now, time is equal to life!

"At the time, I felt that being a 'lukehead' was a good price to pay, and there was a way to make up for it. But now I realize that if I really respond to the situation, a 'lukehead' will also kill someone..." Jiang Baimian walked to the conference room area distressed.

She didn't go in the wrong direction, because there were two intelligent robots standing on the other side.

However, it was not known whether they had been damaged long ago or whether the electromagnetic environment here was abnormally disordered, making them look like scrap metal. In short, they remained motionless and did not try to attack Jiang Baimian, the intruder.

After retreating to the conference room area, Jiang Baimian glanced at the windows in the next room.

She thought about it and had an idea.

She planned to just break the window and go back to the ground floor.

At that time, as long as you don't look back along the outer wall of the whirlpool-shaped building, spend some time and go around half a circle, you will be able to see the entrance and exit of this area.

Compared with this, if you go around inside the building, you will definitely get lost. If you get lost repeatedly, the delay will increase exponentially.

Once he made up his mind, Jiang Baimian immediately rushed into the room with the light white long table and forced open the two glass windows.

Then, she jumped down and landed firmly on the military exoskeleton device.

Jiang Baimian looked back to confirm that he was really outside the swirling building and not somewhere else.

She ran along the outer wall, all the way back to the gate, and then, as long as she could directly see her destination, she rushed straight to the entrance and exit of the core area.

Along the way, no matter what obstacles were in front of her, she would just climb over them. Facing the "unintentional ones", she would go to the "mirror world".

It didn't take long for her to return to the outskirts of the small city.

There is a strong smell of blood here, and "unintentional people" are everywhere fighting and hunting each other.

Jiang Baimian just took a few casual glances and found many "high-level unintentional people", which made her quite satisfied with her previous caution.

After roughly distinguishing the direction of the tunnel, Jiang Baimian didn't care whether he was right or not. He chose a place where there were no "high-level unintentional people" and ran in a straight line.

She climbed up the stairs with a very clear goal, that is, no matter what happened, she first got out of this small city.

At that time, if you go around the edge of the city, you will always see the tunnel gate.

The route of this plan is definitely not the shortest, but it is the least likely to get lost. You only need to walk a long straight line plus a small or large half circle to reach the destination.

Even if he gets lost along the way, he can at most make the semicircle around Jiang Baimian larger. With the help of the military exoskeleton device, this won't waste much time.

As for whether she can maintain a straight line, Jiang Baimian doesn't care. Anyway, as long as the direction is clear and she can leave the city, any deviation in the process is irrelevant. She only needs to pay close attention to whether she encounters "ghosts hitting the wall". Will run around in the same place.

While running wildly, the "unintentional people" around Jiang Baimian were successively included in the "mirror world".

Regardless of whether they have awakened ability or not, there is no way to resist this.

Further away, beyond Jiang Baimian's ability, several "unintentional people" seemed to have noticed something unusual here and rushed over.

Jiang Baimian did not stop his attempt to "climb over the mountains and ridges". He raised his right hand and fired a grenade at those "unintentional people".

Boom!

Amidst the explosion, she climbed to the rooftop of the building and jumped from the other side, trying to keep as straight a line as possible.

…………

"Zhenshi" sitting on the sofa watched Shang Jianyao's figure disappear from the door, his expression unchanged.

Just as he was about to close the door with a wave of his hand, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears:

"Wait a moment!"

"Truth" immediately saw Shang Jianyao's face emerge from the side of the door and return to his eyes.

"I have another question." Shang Jianyao raised his hand.

"Truth"'s eyes seemed to darken a little instantly, and he said after a few seconds:

"what is the problem?

"Time is very urgent, don't ask if it's not important."

"It's very important." Shang Jianyao responded sternly, "If you want me to help, you can just say it directly. I was hesitating before whether to enter that gap. Why did you still use temptation to drive us into the tower and use the darkness to counterattack? Forcing me to come here? This makes Barnard and Flora’s death unworthy, it’s tantamount to murder!”

"Truth" smiled:

"You really have a pure and righteous heart."

"We." Shang Jianyao emphasized.

"Who said that? I didn't!" The vicious Shang Jianyao expressed dissatisfaction.

When they were about to quarrel, "Truth" answered:

"Revel and Barnard are not dead yet. I provided them with protection at the last moment. When the order of the 'New World' is changed, they can return directly to the dust. As for Flora, it is inevitable. Breaking into a tower is inherently dangerous.

"I am not deceiving you by asking you to enter the tower and look for a way out. If you don't come here, even if you enter the gap, the help we can provide you will be very limited. We will not be able to let you break through the obstacles of the opponents and convince you. That part of 'Zhuang Sheng' personality.

"I didn't explain this at the beginning because I was worried that the secret would be leaked and some executive would block the gap in advance."

"That's it." Shang Jianyao's serious expression softened a lot.

He accepted the explanation of "truth", then frowned and said:

"But you have eaten countless human consciousnesses before, causing the outbreak of 'unintentional disease' again and again."

"Truth" seemed to have anticipated this problem and said calmly:

“Didn’t you also hunt wild animals to fill your stomach?

"Before acquiring a body, we are pure gods, and the difference from humans is greater than humans and beasts. Since you can hunt beasts for survival, we can also suck human consciousness out of hunger."

Without waiting for Shang Jianyao to refute, "Truth" added two more sentences:

"When we enter the dust, have a body, and acquire certain human attributes, this kind of thing won't happen.

"Instead of struggling with this issue, you might as well consider how many humans you can save in the future."

Shang Jianyao thought for a while and said:

"That seems to be the truth...

"But as a human, I always feel weird."

He did not fully accept the rhetoric of "truth", but time was running out and the chance to save Ashes was fleeting. He did not dare to delay any longer, turned sideways, and headed towards the end of the correct aisle.

Kick, kick, kick!

Shang Jianyao took big steps and ran wildly.

"Truth" saw this and let out a silent breath.
