Embers Ad Infinitum

more than one? Mei Shouan was shocked when he suddenly felt as if there were countless steel needles under his buttocks, which made him unable to sit still.

According to Shang Jianyao, he was the only awakened person in the "Jiudiao Group", and it was not until the turmoil in the First City in early August that he found the opportunity to enter the "Soul Corridor". After that, they first recuperated and adjusted, and then It was the return trip and I didn’t have any conflicts with anyone again.

In other words, their group killed the awakened ones at the "Soul Corridor" level before that, and they didn't have anyone with the same level of strength yet!

If there is only one time, a blind cat will always hit a dead mouse. It is understandable - the Dimarco described by Shang Jianyao just now obviously lost his vigilance in many aspects because he lived in the underground fortress for a long time, and was beaten. I was caught off guard, which makes sense if you think about it carefully.

But if more than one person was killed by Jiang Baimian's "Old Tune Team", Mei Shouan would not be able to accept it at all.

The awakened ones at the "spiritual corridor" level are not cabbages. They can be encountered if they are encountered, and killed if they are said to be killed!

The strength of Jiang Baimian's "Old Tune Group" should not have expanded to this extent!

As the thoughts passed by, Mei Shouan's back gradually felt a little chilly.

Su Yu, director of the board of directors of "Pangu Biotechnology", was silent for a moment and then asked:

"Besides the Dimarco you mentioned, who else is there? How did you win?"

"There are also the special commissioners of the Eighth Research Institute and the master of the 'virtual world' who once protected Marcus..." Shang Jianyao recounted the key points of the two battles.

Although these two incidents were mentioned in the report submitted by Jiang Baimian, they only described the causes and results without going into details. It was only now that Su Yu and Mei Shou'an figured out the specific details. .

Hiccups... Mei Shou'an originally wanted to feel relieved, but it turned into hiccups.

He felt that he had been frightened just now, but that was not the case:

Kangna intervened in the battle with the special correspondent of the Eighth Research Institute. When dealing with the master of the "virtual world", Shang Jianyao was essentially an awakened person at the "soul corridor" level, and fully understood the price the other party paid, so he used his skills to There are corresponding "tools" on it.

These are legitimate wins, not worth the fuss.

After Su Yu heard this, he laughed:

"No wonder you admire the daughter of the old Jiang family, she really made the most of every advantage.

"Your trick of driving a tiger to swallow a wolf is also very imaginative."

I really can’t think of anything that doesn’t involve long-term mental problems!

"Mental patients have broad ideas." Shang Jianyao said modestly.

At this moment, Mei Shouan once again felt that this guy was very self-aware.

Su Yu didn't answer the question, he pondered for a moment and said:

"I have asked you about the three things I want to know, and I have a relatively clear understanding of you.

"There will be no more reviews, and your rewards will be distributed within three days. However, Lao Mei, you need to cooperate more and do more inspections. This is also for the good of the company, so that you can further master the secrets of awakening. We will have an advantage over other major forces."

"Okay." Shang Jianyao agreed happily, and then put forward the conditions, "But they must open the exclusive canteen to me!"

Mei Shouan was stunned for a moment while listening.

What the hell is this request?

While dumbfounded, he readily agreed, because the request was so simple that he didn't even need to tell Director Su, just talk to him in private.

There is no need to be so formal!

Immediately afterwards, Shang Jianyao glanced left and right:

"Can we ask two questions?"

Changed personality? This change is quite big... Mei Shouan turned his attention to Su Yu.

Whether you can agree or not depends on the director's decision.

Su Yu turned her wrist and looked at her watch:

“There’s still some time, just ask.

"Actually, you don't have to worry. When the rewards are distributed, the corresponding knowledge will be given to you."

Shang Jianyao directly skipped the latter sentence and asked:

"How can you be sure that there is no door to the 'new world' in a spiritual room?"

Su Yu maintained the slightly forward posture just now, thought for a while and said:

“In the first five rooms, you don’t have to think about this problem.

“When you get to the sixth room, if the deeper you go, the more familiar it feels, which means the door to the ‘new world’ is probably there.

"If you have gone through three psychological shadows or one dream and have not yet experienced a similar feeling, then there is no need to go deeper and you can give up on this room decisively.

"Although continuing can still temper your consciousness, improve your mental strength, and amplify your abilities, it means getting closer and closer to the consciousness of the owner of the room, making it easier and easier to be noticed by him. There may be a fight by then. A fierce war, from the perspective of risks and benefits, is completely unequal and unnecessary."

Jian Shang Jian Yao listened very carefully and just took notes. Su Yu further explained:

"From what we have collected so far, that door is not only related to the 'New World', but is also closely related to the Awakened Ones themselves, so the closer you get to it, the more familiar you will feel.

"At this point, other people's experiences are not of much reference value, because different people find the door to the 'new world' in different rooms."

"It seems that the company has several awakened people who have entered the 'new world', and they have also contacted a lot of people outside." Shang Jianyao "suddenly realized."

Su Yu did not respond and asked instead:

"What's your second question?"

Shang Jianyao did not hide his curiosity:

"Have you ever encountered a sudden change in the house number of a room around you?"

Mei Shouan shook his head, and Su Yu confirmed the details:

"How sudden?"

"Yesterday it was this, and today it has become that." Shang Jianyao answered.

Su Yu's thick eyebrows were slightly squeezed in the middle:

"If the house number suddenly disappears and a new house number appears after a while, it should be because the original owner of the room died, and it was later assigned to the newly awakened person who entered the 'soul corridor'.

"But the gap of one day is too short, so it shouldn't be such a coincidence."

"Is there any other explanation?" Shang Jianyao's tone now was closer to "I'm not asking, I'm just taking your words."

Only when you ask questions can you get answers, and only when you praise can you be amused!

Su Yu was silent for a while and said:

“There’s no definite explanation, just some speculation.

“Although similar situations are rare, over time, there are certain examples.

"The most popular guess at the moment is that it has something to do with the owner of the 'Soul Corridor', and only the owner of the 'Soul Corridor' can adjust the room.

"And many people suspect that the 'Hall of Stars', 'Sea of ​​Origin', and 'Corridor of the Soul' were built by senior officials."

Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and slapped his left palm:

"Fortunately I didn't go in!"

Seeing that Director Su Yusu and Mei Shou'an both looked suspiciously, he hurriedly "explained":

"I haven't explored any of the rooms in depth yet, I just wandered around the corridors."

"Be cautious when exploring." Su Yu warned, stood up, and extended his right hand to Shang Jianyao, "Go back and wait for the rewards to be distributed."

At this moment, Shang Jianyao was very polite. He stood up and reached out to shake hands with the director.

With this squeeze, he felt as if the other person's hand had just been taken out of the hot water bottle.

"Do you have a fever?" Shang Jianyao asked very humanely.

Now he is a sentimental person.

Su Yu sighed:

"Kind of."

"Drink more hot water." Shang Jianyao suggested sincerely.

…………

Not long after Shang Jianyao returned to Room 14 on the 647th floor, Bai Chen and others also returned one after another.

"How are you doing there?" Jiang Baimian asked with concern.

Shang Jianyao immediately restored the previous conversation word by word.

One of them even imitated Su Yu, another imitated Mei Shouan, and the rest took turns reproducing their own words.

Of course, they are not good at remembering and cannot retell it completely. They can only say that the meaning is expressed well.

"It seems that the rumors are true. Director Su's military style is quite impressive in many aspects." Jiang Baimian praised.

She believes that this kind of atmosphere is the treatment that those awakened at the "soul corridor" level should receive.

Find out what the other party wants, try to satisfy it to a certain extent, and adjust the relationship between the two parties, and then find an opportunity to shock them. The review is of little significance, especially when Shang Jianyao is a native employee of the company.

Even if he colludes with some outside forces, as long as the company does not treat him badly and satisfies him to the greatest extent, he will slowly change his orientation.

Are you afraid that such a big "Pangu creature" can't control people?

Unless Shang Jianyao has become a devout believer who is willing to come to the company to complete a secret mission at the risk of his life... But for such a person, not to mention ordinary review, even if he uses an awakened person or prop with special abilities, he will find that The possibility is also very low... Dare to send people like this, there must be a certain degree of certainty... Several thoughts flashed in Jiang Baimian's mind, and he said to Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and Shang Jianyao:

"The review should be fine. Go back and rest early today. I have a feeling the rewards will be issued tomorrow."
