Embers Ad Infinitum

In just a few minutes, Zhou Yue got a set of equipment.

Hanging from the hemp rope tied around the waist of her white robe is an object with an old world gossip pattern on the outer edge and a normal mirror in the middle. She holds a black flashlight in her left hand and a transparent plastic water bottle with ash floating in it in her right hand. Dirty water, and a loose sack on his back.

This strange and inconsistent combination made everyone else in Nanke Temple feel ridiculous. Zhen Lian couldn't help but ask:

"Master, are you going to catch ghosts?"

"Something more terrifying than this." Zhou Yue replied seriously.

Zhen Lian's heart tightened and he said quickly:

"Master Guan, you haven't brought your peach wood sword yet!"

"That's useless." Zhou Yue answered based on some unknown theory.

Seeing that Zhen Lian was not an awakened person, she was a little confused. She shook her head and smiled:

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

After saying that, she turned on the flashlight and let the beam of light shine on the patio.

Then, she walked out of Nankeguan step by step.

When he got outside, Zhou Yue covered the plastic water bottle without a lid with his right thumb, leaving only a gap to come out.

As she walked, she shook the bottle, letting the talisman water inside sprinkle in small amounts to the front and to the left and right sides.

During this process, her flashlight kept swaying around, shining from left to right, sweeping from top to bottom, without stopping for a moment, as if she was looking for enemies lurking in the night of the fantasy world.

As for the street lights on both sides of the street, she turned a blind eye.

At the same time, she was still twisting her waist so that the Bagua mirror hanging on the hemp rope could shine in different places.

If Jiang Baimian were here, and she knew a lot about the old world, she might think that Zhou Yue and Zhou Guanzhu were "dancing the gods".

…………

In the "Wild Pigeon" bar, when he saw the "unintentional people" with cloudy eyes and ferocious beasts, if Long Yuehong hadn't known in advance that this might be an illusion, he felt that he would probably make Zhang Jiu's mistake and draw his gun. Just a flurry of shots.

On the other side, after Jiang Baimian heard Shang Jianyao's suggestion to "turn off the lights", the first thought that flashed through his mind was not "this guy is causing trouble again", but whether this method would work:

When the lights are turned off, everyone can't see each other, so they won't regard each other as monsters or "unintentional people", and use crazy attacks to protect themselves...

From this perspective, turning off the lights is indeed a good idea.

After all, hallucinations mainly affect the senses, and vision is one of the most important human senses.

But the question is, what are the limits of the "higher heartless person"'s ability.

Could it be that even without light, he can make people see "fake" monsters, directly twist and connect the information obtained by hearing and smelling to the visual center, or directly create corresponding scenes in the target's mind?

In this way, turning off the lights not only tends to create more tension and confusion, but also fails to solve the impact of hallucinations.

What if that "high-level unintentional person" sneaked in while there was no light?

At this moment, countless thoughts collided with sparks in Jiang Baimian's mind.

She relied on experience and intuition to make a decision in the blink of an eye:

"Need not!"

While shouting these two words, she moved quickly, changed her position, and quickly issued orders:

"Plan 2!

"Close the door! Close the window! Nakdanin!"

Plan No. 2 is the second countermeasure commonly used by the "Old Adjustment Group". The content is:

"Search for cover to hide, observe the situation, do not attack, and wait for further orders."

Condensing such a sentence into the words "Plan No. 2" can effectively shorten the time.

In such a scenario, every second could be a life-or-death situation.

In addition, using "Plan No. 2" instead of specific orders can also make the enemy unclear about what the "old tune team" is going to do, so as to avoid being "tampered with" by hallucinations.

Not attacking also means not accidentally injuring your companions.

The second order was shouted out after Jiang Baimian completed the first action and rushed to the door.

At this time, Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen had each found shelter in the low walls that separated different areas, the pillars supporting the house, or the corners with shockingly thick bricks and stones.

The next second, a loud gunshot rang out.

In their eyes, this was one of the "unintentional persons" who pulled out his pistol and, driven by hunting instinct, shot towards the door area.

Fortunately, private fighting is prohibited in Tarnan, and there are cameras monitoring everywhere. The local residents are accustomed to not carrying weapons, and they have no need to use them anyway, which prevents the chaotic scene from becoming corrupt immediately.

Of course, the few insecure townspeople and the outside relic hunters and caravan members did not carry weapons such as rifles and submachine guns that were difficult to conceal, but they all had one or two pistols on them.

At this time, after they discovered that they were surrounded by "unintentional people", their first reaction was undoubtedly to draw their guns.

But those "unintentional ones" also attacked them at the same time and struggled with them, making them unable to pull out their guns even if they wanted to.

Only a few of them successfully took out their pistols, some shot the "monsters" at the door area, and some dealt with the nearest "careless person".

After a few gunshots, two or three "unintentional people" fell down, with blood pouring from their bodies.

Those who drew their guns did not struggle or linger. They fought and retreated, heading towards their preferred exit location.

In their eyes, there are too many "unintentional people" here, some even holding guns, so it would be better to wait for the robot guards to deal with them.

At this time, after hearing Jiang Baimian's instructions, Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen each bent their backs, approached the windows, and closed them with a bang.

After doing all this, they found a nearby bunker, took off their tactical backpacks, took out a drug from inside, and swallowed it directly.

Jiang Baimian had already closed the door, sometimes crawling and sometimes rolling, approaching the most chaotic area.

She did not join in, but took advantage of the dance floor and the low wall in the card area to raise her left hand and extend it a little further.

Bang bang gunshots rang out from time to time, and the group of "unintentional people" struggled together all the time, showing a state of hysteria.

Jiang Baimian kept his composure and did not interfere. He changed his position from time to time and approached the crowds in different areas.

The few gunmen finally retreated to different windows, trying to climb out and leave this dangerous place.

Snapped!

One of the gunmen was hit under the ear and fainted on the spot.

He didn't even see clearly who the attacker was.

Shang Jianyao knelt down and talked to him:

"It's more dangerous outside, it's better to be unconscious here for a while."

At other windows, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen also stunned the gunmen who were panicking.

This is what is implicit in the second command:

"Close the door" or "close the window" also means that you cannot open the door or open the window. If you encounter the following situation, you can make certain attacks as appropriate.

As time passed by, those "careless people" who scratched, bit, pinched, and hit each other gradually began to feel tired, and their eyes gradually became unable to open.

"You carry the burden, and I hold the horse..." (Note 1)

When the song from Shang Jianyao's small speaker sounded, the "unintentional people" fell down one after another, just like the people who took the Mongolian sweat medicine in the "Pangu Biology" radio program.

Yes, they all inhaled the anesthetic gas released by Jiang Baimian's left hand.

Shang Jianyao and the others took the neutralizing agent Nakedanine in advance.

This is the way Jiang Baimian can think of to protect the human beings here to the greatest extent.

Therefore, she asked Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen to help her close the door and the window.

"Huh..." Seeing that the "unintentional ones" had all passed out, Jiang Baimian could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

Then she said loudly:

"No one is coming in!"

That "high-class unintentional person" didn't take advantage of the previous chaos to break into the "Wild Pigeon" bar!

This is Jiang Baimian's judgment based on electrical signal induction.

——She believes that the "higher unintentional person" must not understand this technology and knowledge. After all, only "Pangu Creatures" currently have control of it. Therefore, no matter how the other party distorts her senses and "covers up" his whereabouts, it will still be because of My own "illiteracy" does not know how to manipulate bioelectrical signals, thus leaving flaws.

Based on the monitoring just now, Jiang Baimian determined that no external bioelectrical signals entered.

This is a bit strange.

Could it be that he, an "unintentional person", is so cautious that he only goes inside to hunt if both sides are harmed? As soon as Jiang Baimian had such an idea, Shang Jianyao replied loudly in the music:

"He's afraid of you!"

Pooh! Jiang Baimian spat first, and then was a little stunned:

If the "higher unintentional person" didn't take advantage of the chaos to come in and hunt, is it possible that he is afraid of something?

Something about this room frightened him...

Since humans need to pay a price to awaken their abilities, does the "unintentional person" follow similar rules if they have abilities?

Of course, the "unintentional one" may itself be considered a price to pay.

While Jiang Baimian's thoughts were spinning, Shang Jianyao raised his head and said to the surveillance camera in the bar:

"You are talking, why don't you talk?"

Yes, there are cameras in the bar, and I don’t know if there is a network connected to Tarnan... In short, we have to find a way to inform the robot guards and the major sects about the accident. They all have certain abilities. ...Jiang Baimian felt that he couldn't wait in the "Wild Pigeon" bar forever, but he couldn't rush out blindly either.

At the same time, she was also fortunate that so far, the "high-level unintentional person" had not caused them to have auditory hallucinations, and the "Old Tune Group" could maintain effective communication - they looked at each other as "unintentional people".

But whether this state will continue or how long it will last is not something Jiang Baimian can guess now, so she wants to find a way before the situation worsens.

…………

In the "Youmeng" hotel, even without turning her head, the proprietress Aino could feel someone lingering behind her - sometimes he came close to her neck, sometimes he moved away, causing gusts of cold wind.

Aino stared at the computer screen and trembled to himself:

"You, if you come again, I, I will attack indiscriminately.

"Although I can't be sure where you are, I, I can attack indiscriminately!"
