Embers Ad Infinitum

What Jiang Baimian meant was that the person responsible for Shang Jianyao's second review was most likely a higher-level company executive or an awakened person with special abilities at the "soul corridor" level.

Of course, these two possibilities overlap, and it cannot be ruled out that someone is both a high-level person above M1 and an awakened person at the "soul corridor" level with special abilities.

Shang Jianyao looked indifferent:

"Anyway, I really have a mental problem."

"..." Jiang Baimian seriously thought about what price he would have to pay if his awakening experiment succeeded.

She did not discuss this topic again, because her purpose was just to give Shang Jianyao a warning and let him be more prepared - as long as there are no problems of principle, the company will definitely treat an awakened person at the "soul corridor" level. Very tolerant.

At this time, Long Yuehong said to Jiang Baimian uneasily:

"Team leader, how should we respond to the review?"

Jiang Baimian laughed:

"If anyone else in the company hears what you said, you will be fired today and driven to the surface."

Long Yuehong suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Then what should I say?" Bai Chen took the initiative to resolve Long Yuehong's embarrassment.

Jiang Baimian glanced around and said with a smile:

"You have to tell me how to cooperate with the review."

She cleared her throat and added a few words:

“After my efforts, the review of the three of us was limited to the Security Department and followed the normal process.

"That is to say, you won't encounter awakened people, and you won't be put on machines like lie detectors. You just need to follow the predetermined plan, uh, cooperate."

Phew, the team leader is really capable... It’s different with background and ability... Long Yuehong was obviously relieved:

"OK."

At the critical moment of leaving the "old tune team" and fighting for future treatment, he didn't want to be censored and cause any problems.

Of course, he didn't think he had many problems. He counted them carefully with his fingers, and there were only four:

1. Help Shang Jian Yao conceal the identity of the awakened person;

Second, he concealed some matters related to Du Heng and Xiao Chong;

Third, he failed to report the scenes and sounds that Shang Jianyao saw and heard at Yan Hu’s place;

Fourth, it concealed the fact that Gnawa actually joined the "Old Tune Group".

The first point has now been exposed and is about to be blamed on Shang Jianyao's ability. What Long Yuehong is most worried about is that this is tantamount to deceiving the company. Once discovered, the punishment will be severe.

Apart from this, he felt that if he met an awakened person with special abilities, Lao Ge's matter should not be hidden from him. The second and third ones were not a big problem. After all, there were only a few corresponding memories. Unless the other party had an extremely serious purpose, Be clear, otherwise even if you can look through the memory, it will not be easy to find something that is so detailed and does not appear many times.

To put it simply, although this certainly cannot be described as finding a needle in a haystack, it is roughly equivalent to finding a specific island in the vast ocean without knowing what characteristics the island has.

As for military exoskeleton devices, the "Old Adjustment Team" plans to take the clear road this time.

Seeing Bai Chen and Long Yuehong nodding slightly, Jiang Baimian warned again:

"If something cannot be done, confess immediately and be lenient. Don't worry about me and Hey."

What she meant was that one of her and Shang Jianyao had a background and the other had strength. Even if they were punished for this, they would not be hurt.

After Long Yuehong and Bai Chen agreed, Shang Jianyao took the initiative to talk about what happened last night, and finally asked:

"How should I explore next?"

"Hey, haven't you always been very opinionated?" Jiang Baimian teased.

Shang Jianyao said seriously:

“We need to use collective wisdom.

"The thirteen of us can simulate discussions between executives."

Thirteen people... Long Yuehong was stunned for a moment.

"Thirteen people?" Bai Chen did not hide his doubts.

Shang Jianyao pointed at himself:

"We have ten now."

Jiang Baimian raised his hand and pressed the corner of his mouth, sighed and said:

"The first thing to analyze is whether the fear or psychological shadow represented by this scene comes from before or after the owner of the room enters the 'soul corridor'."

"Why can't it be a dream?" Bai Chen woke up as soon as he finished speaking, "Well, except for the awakened ones who have broken into the 'new world', or the legendary Zhi Sui, the dream shown in the room cannot last long. It's maintained, Shang Jianyao will go in again tonight to see if there are any changes and then he can draw a conclusion."

Bang bang bang, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands.

Jiang Baimian was even more pleased:

"Xiaobai, you are becoming more and more proactive in discussions now, and your mind is very clear."

She continued:

"In fact, even those awakened people who break into the 'new world' should still retain the characteristic of easy change in their dreams, which is different from the repeated presentation of psychological shadows.

"As for Zhi Sui, it belongs to another kind of creature. We can't analyze it now, but Shang Jianyao's luck should not be so bad. The first room opened to Zhi Sui's dream."

"Yeah, yeah, I'm not Xiaohong." Shang Jianyao was very confident about this.

Long Yuehong tried to refute, but felt a little unsure.

His current understanding is that his luck is good and bad. When he is good, he can survive fatal injuries, but when he is bad, he will encounter anything.

But most of the time it’s still at a normal level!

Shang Jianyao seemed to have changed his personality, and the topic changed:

"According to my analysis, the danger represented by that scene is not too great."

"Yes." Jiang Baimian nodded, "If the owner of the room explored the ruins after entering the 'Soul Corridor' and encountered so many 'unintentional people', even if he couldn't eliminate them, he would still find a way to escape. Difficult things are unlikely to leave a psychological shadow, unless, unless he encounters some extremely terrifying things in the later stages of this exploration, but in this case, his psychological shadow should not retain the early scenes, you guys Think about it, are your fear memories of certain things concentrated on the main body, and the insignificant details before and after are not so clear?"

"Yes." Long Yuehong thought for a while and answered in the affirmative.

When he recalled the injury now, he only remembered the battle with Assus and Kristina, but he had no memory of the other people he met along the way.

Bai Chen was silent for a while and then nodded.

Jiang Baimian continued:

"The memories are like this. The psychological shadow must be more obvious. The scene it presents must be a very scary thing at the time, just like the situation in Room 1215 before."

"I don't feel any other danger." Shang Jianyao rubbed his chin, confirming Jiang Baimian's statement from the side.

Then, expressively, he added:

"Since that scene represents the shadow of the room owner before entering the 'Soul Corridor', based on his strength at the time and regardless of his super-standard companions, he probably escaped from danger by hiding and transferring.

"I'm going to imitate him."

Speaking of this, Shang Jianyao questioned himself:

"We are all awakened people at the 'soul corridor' level, can't we be bolder?

"The soldiers will come to cover up the water and the soil. If we kill all the 'unintentional people', we should be able to pass through this spiritual shadow."

When Shang Jianyao was debating, Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen all had normal expressions.

Because similar things had happened more than once on their way back to "Pangu Creatures".

After Shang Jianyao and others finished arguing, Jiang Baimian expressed his thoughts:

"The number of 'careless people' in that scene is probably related to the mental strength of the room owner. After all, it was impossible for him to count clearly how many 'careless people' he encountered. He could only rely on his own 'feelings' Transformation.

“That is to say, you cannot eliminate all the ‘unintentional ones’ before the energy corresponding to this psychological shadow is exhausted.

"And your mental strength is definitely much weaker than the owner of the room now. From a probability perspective, the chance of you encountering the same newcomer is close to zero. Therefore, even if it is just a psychological shadow, you may not be able to compare. .”

What's more important is that there is no way to eliminate a group of things today and a group tomorrow. If you can recover, the other party can also recover.

Shang Jianyao agreed with this judgment:

“It’s better to move latently.

"I try to shoot as few shots as possible to avoid attracting more unintentional people."

Jiang Baimian nodded gently and said:

"Judging from the current situation, this scene is more suitable for you now. It is better than the weird, mysterious or suspenseful ones."

After communicating about this matter, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the four members of the "Old Adjustment Team" went out one after another and went to the designated location for review.

Shang Jianyao first met Mei Shouan in the C-14 project team on the third floor of the underground building, and then led him to take the elevator to the fifth floor.

This level belongs to the "management area".

Only then did Mei Shouan turn his head to Shang Jianyao and said:

"The person responsible for the second review is Director Su Yusu."

This name is not unfamiliar to Shang Jianyao. He often hears it on the hourly news.

There are five directors on the company's board of directors, namely Ji Ze, Lin Yang, Huang Renhui, Su Yu and Li Lingyun.

Among them, Ji Ze is the number one vice president, taking overall responsibility for the big boss. Lin Yang is the vice president who manages all production departments. Huang Renhui is the chief scientist and the decision-maker of the research system. Li Lingyun is another vice president. In charge of logistics, including material distribution, employee entertainment, etc., Su Yu is responsible for external affairs and is the immediate boss of the Minister of Security.

Of course, if he wants to command the operational cluster of the Security Department, he must discuss it with the board of directors and obtain authorization. He cannot do whatever he wants.
