Embers Ad Infinitum

Shang Jianyao met Su Yu, the director of the company's board of directors in charge of the security department, in room 506.

This man's name sounds elegant and delicate, but he is actually a rough and heroic man, 1.8 meters tall, with a short haircut, and his face is full of traces of wind and sun.

Unlike Shang Jianyao and his generation, Su Yu, who is in his early forties, has received imperfect genetic optimization and cannot be called the "Chosen One". This is reflected in his appearance, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a face with Chinese characters. It's definitely not ugly. It's just that his skin is bumpy and bumpy, which makes people a little bit unbearable to look at. But apart from this, he can't be called handsome. I can only call him Zhou Zheng.

Su Yu is a director who has climbed up from the frontline troops of the Ministry of Security step by step. He retains an obvious military style. As soon as he saw Shang Jianyao and Mei Shouan coming in, he said to several guards in the room:

"You guys wait outside the door."

These guards belong to the operations cluster directly under the management and wear a variety of bionic smart armors.

Shang Jianyao glanced at them, and his eyes rested on one of them.

The bionic smart armor he wore was covered with fine black scales, but it didn't look heavy.

This reminded Shang Jianyao of the black swamp iron snake he hunted during his first mission.

Several guards did not persuade Su Yu and said that they wanted to stay to protect his safety. They left the office without permission and closed the door.

Su Yu, who was wearing a gray combat uniform from the Ministry of Security, saw this, pointed to the sofa area, and said with a smile:

"Let's go there and talk."

His manner was not cordial, but quite amiable.

Shang Jianyao was not polite at all. He followed Su Yu and sat at one end of the couch, while Mei Shouan was on the other side.

After everyone sat down, Su Yu, who was sitting on the single sofa, laughed:

“When we reach the level of ‘soul corridor’, many things are not so important anymore.

“I have always said there is no need for review, but in the end they insisted on following the process.

"I came to you today mainly to understand three things, and I don't want to ask much else."

"It's a deal." Shang Jianyao responded seriously.

Su Yu was stunned for a moment, then thought of the reports of Mei Shouan and Dr. Lin, and had a deeper understanding of some of the descriptions.

He leaned forward slightly, clasped his hands, and his expression became serious:

"First thing, I want to know what you think of the company."

Shang Jianyao thought about it carefully and said:

"First, there are still too few singing competitions and dance activities organized by the activity center. Second, the menu of the canteen can be announced a few days in advance to solicit everyone's opinions. Third, some programs on the radio station need to be improved..."

"..." Although Mei Shouan expected that this guy would probably answer the question incorrectly, he never expected that he would go so far off topic.

He couldn't help but doubt whether the other party's Chinese teacher was qualified.

Su Yu is a person who has seen the world. When he was in the Ministry of Security, he experienced all kinds of storms and waves, and there were also awakened people who paid outrageous prices. He didn't care at this time, shook his head and laughed:

"I'm asking about your attitude towards the company."

There seemed to be some plateau red remaining on his face, and there was some sweat on his forehead in the cold room.

Shang Jianyao answered very simply:

"I was born in the company, grew up here, and didn't go to the surface for the first time until I graduated from college."

Su Yu was quite satisfied with this answer:

“Yes, the company is a home for all of us. If you want to gain more or change something, then work hard to improve yourself.

"When you are on par with me, or stronger than me, will there be no place for you on the board of directors? There is no limit on the number of people."

Having said this, Su Yu glanced at Mei Shouan and then said to Shang Jianyao:

"According to the company's regulations, awakened persons at the 'soul corridor' level can directly receive M1-level treatment.

"But you told Lao Mei before that you wanted to stay in the current 'Investigation Team for the Cause of Destruction of the Old World', but you were unwilling to be the team leader, which made it very difficult for us.

"No matter how promoted Chiang Kai-shek's daughter is this time, she will only be D9. She will not be able to enter the management level and will not be able to lead an M1-level employee.

"You have to think clearly. Are you sure you want to maintain the status quo, give up the M1 level treatment, and be promoted step by step?"

Shang Jianyao nodded very firmly:

"If I were to lead a team alone, we would be worried about harming them."

As he spoke, he pointed to his head.

Su Yu said "hmm":

“You can also choose to stay within the company, but that goes to the second question.

"Lao Mei has asked you before, I will repeat it again:

"What is your pursuit, or what do you want to do?"

Shang Jianyao's already straight upper body became even more upright:

"Save all mankind!

"To this end, we want to investigate the origin of the 'Wuxin Disease' and the cause of the destruction of the old world."

Su Yu laughed:

"No wonder you are willing to listen to Lao Jiang and his daughter, you are essentially the same person.

"This way I don't have to worry. I was thinking about who should be sent to the ruins of Wasteland 13 to explore the Holm Reproductive Medical Center. Now it seems that continuing to leave it to you is the best choice."

"When we ask for help, helpers have to follow." Shang Jianyao mentioned the conditions without politeness.

"No problem, everyone works for the company." Su Yu paused and said, "Although you gave up the M1 level treatment, some regular things still have to be given to you, such as the relevant knowledge of the 'Soul Corridor', additional Contribute some subsidies, etc., etc.”

Shang Jianyao thought for a second and then said:

"Can the additional subsidies be paid directly to the Eleventh Orphanage?"

"Okay." Of course Su Yu would not refuse such a small request.

Su Yu has always been quick and resolute, so without further ado, he brought up the third thing he wanted to know:

"Tell me about how you became an awakener of the 'Soul Corridor'.

"I don't need to mention the part involving your psychological shadow. I just hope to have a rough understanding and maybe I can give you some advice."

Shang Jianyao showed a recalling expression:

"It was all normal at first. After two or three months of proficiency, I opened the door to the 'Sea of ​​Origin', and then defeated one island after another that was transformed into the fear in my heart."

Su Yu suddenly interrupted:

"Who told you about the nature of the island?"

"A formal hunter named Du Heng, who calls himself an antiquities scholar." Shang Jianyao replied calmly, "I met him on the way to Black Rat Town during my first mission."

Su Yu's expression showed no change:

"Go on."

Shang Jianyao has always followed the good deeds:

“Later, at the Red Stone Set, in order to save the slaves in the ‘Underground Ark’, we attacked the master there, Di Marco.

"He used the 'Fate Link' to invade my 'Origin Sea'. In order to deal with him, I transferred all the breath from a previously obtained item into it."

After hearing this, Mei Shouan couldn't control his expression.

This guy actually did such a thing!

It’s not easy for him to survive until now!

Su Yuze frowned and asked:

"Don't you know this will have serious 'sequelae'?"

"I didn't know at the time." Shang Jianyao replied decisively, "The brave will win when we meet on a narrow road!"

Su Yu and Mei Shouan were silent for a while.

It’s rare to see someone so confident and stupid!

After a few seconds, Su Yu asked without any change in expression:

"and after?"

Shang Jian Yao began to ramble:

"DiMarco was caught off guard, and his body was destroyed by us. In the subsequent battle, I used the aura of the prop to block him for a while, preventing him from successfully occupying my body. This caused his consciousness to gradually collapse, and only I left some in my 'Ocean of Origin'.

"This time when we went to the 'Primary City', we hunted the real 'Priest' and obtained the 'Blind Ring' from him. By chance, I also brought the breath of the 'Blind Ring' to the 'Sea of ​​Origin' Stayed inside for a while.”

Don't put anything into your inner world! As a researcher, Mei Shouan, who strictly abides by the experimental procedures, couldn't help but roar in his heart.

If there were such a researcher among his men, he would definitely send him to the mines to eat ashes!

Su Yu didn't speak and didn't know what to say.

He could only sigh secretly:

This guy is so lucky that nothing happened.

Shang Jianyao continued to recall:

"At the beginning of August, during the turmoil in the First City, at a critical moment, in order to compromise with the me who was guarding the elevator door, I chose to 'summon' the strong man whose aura corresponded."

This time, Su Yu could hardly hold back.

Isn't this too messy?

This guy is still alive and I don’t know whether God has opened his eyes or not.

"I was the incarnation of cowardice and timidity guarding the door, and I quickly gave in. We successfully entered the 'Soul Corridor' and gained new abilities, while the auras in the 'Sea of ​​Origin' fought in chaos and returned to their respective homes. ”

At this moment, in Shang Jianyao's spiritual room numbered "131", eight Shang Jianyao were holding down one Shang Jianyao.

The one who was pushed to the ground was the honest Shang Jianyao. He kept shouting:

"Don't lie, tell the truth!

“Mainly relying on the shock of Xiao Chong’s aura, we got through this level!

"Don't be vague!"

The eight Shang Jianyao ignored him and controlled him tightly. The calm and intelligent detective-type Shang Jianyao continued to control his body.

After listening to Shang Jianyao's description, Mei Shouan felt a little dazed for a moment.

Such a mess was actually successful, and he actually entered the "soul corridor" like me!

Is this scientific?

This unscientific!

Su Yu raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and laughed out loud:

"Your experience cannot be replicated."

If someone else tried this kind of behavior, 10 out of 10 would die.

——Everyone who helps around may be killed!

"The main thing is that what everyone faces in the end is different." Shang Jianyao actually started a serious discussion.

It was obvious that neither Su Yu nor Mei Shou'an had any intention of discussing with him.

The former recalled the conversation just now and discovered one thing:

"That is to say, you have ever killed an awakened person at the 'soul corridor' level?"

Dimarco, who possesses the "Fate Pass".

Shang Jianyao stretched out his palm, stretched his fingers, and replied calmly:

"more than one."
