Embers Ad Infinitum

While Shang Jianyao was still pondering the meaning of the last sentence, Jiang Baimian quickly wrote:

"None of us felt anything abnormal, but the chip found something wrong, which means..."

She didn't finish writing, so Shi Shiran put away the pen and paper, continued to hold his chin, and looked at Qiao Chu's profile.

Shang Jianyao withdrew his gaze and guessed a little bit of the reason, but he didn't know what he could do or what to do, because there seemed to be some force preventing him from thinking deeply, not thinking about where the problem came from and where it came from. I don't want this to break a beautiful image.

The source of this power is not from the outside world, but from his heart.

The world is already so difficult, why not let yourself indulge in sweet dreams?

boom!

Under the command of Qiao Chu, the jeep passed through the gaps between many green and black vines, and inevitably hit and rubbed some of them.

These reddish-spiked plants slid across the glass window, leaving countless tiny scratches.

Shang Jianyao, who was looking for countermeasures on the surface of his mind, subconsciously looked over and saw his own silhouette reflected on the car window in the dark and gloomy environment.

There was a thought in his heart, and his eyes suddenly became dark, and he wanted to use the "hypocritical person" ability on himself.

If it is effective, he will immediately become hypocritical and behave contrary to the preset logic after being affected.

For example, they couldn't stand Jiang Baimian, Bai Chen, and Long Yuehong staring at Qiao Chu, and asked to leave in order to retreat. For example, they had to make things clear in such a crisis-ridden situation...

And when this kind of abnormality occurs, the situation will change, and whether the change is good or bad, it will expose some problems and help Shang Jianyao return to "reality."

After a few seconds, Shang Jianyao's eyes returned to normal.

He looked down at his hands, then at himself reflected in the car window, and shook his head slightly.

His attempt failed.

The "pretentious person" seems to be different from the "reasoning clown" in that he cannot influence himself through this simple way of looking in the mirror.

Shang Jianyao withdrew his gaze and began to think seriously again, while Qiao Chu was focused on directing Bai Chen through the swamp covered with terrifying vines and had no time to think about anything else.

Suddenly, the corners of Shang Jianyao's mouth moved and raised slightly.

In this depressing and gloomy environment, he smiled like a mental patient.

After about ten seconds, Shang Jianyao's expression returned to normal.

He frowned slightly and thought about it, his eyes gradually brightening.

He looked at himself reflected in the car window again and muttered:

"Jiang Baimian has long legs, and I also have long legs..."

Jiang Baimian turned his head when he heard this, with a puzzled expression on his face.

She raised her hand and touched the metal cochlea in her left ear, indicating with her movements that she didn't hear clearly.

Shang Jianyao ignored her and continued to mutter:

"Jiang Baimian is very powerful, and so am I..."

Qiaochu heard Shang Jianyao's words, but on the one hand, he was too distracted to distinguish the distribution of vines, the condition of the road, and the various details of the swamp. On the other hand, he felt that it sounded okay, like a good person. Jealous concubines privately slander the favored one.

Long Yuehong then looked at Shang Jianyao, wondering what he was going to do.

Since he didn't understand the situation, he definitely had no intention of revealing the secret and protecting Qiao Chu.

Shang Jianyao looked at himself on the car window, his eyes getting darker and darker:

"so?"

The next second, he asked and answered himself:

"We are the same."

The expression on Shang Jianyao's face quickly changed and was slightly distorted, as if he was trying his best to suppress something.

"What was he talking about just now?" Jiang Baimian looked at Shang Jianyao and asked Long Yuehong.

"He said you have long legs, and he has long legs, and you are good, and so is he, so you are the same." Long Yuehong repeated the key points.

Jiang Baimian opened his mouth subconsciously, wanting to reply to the previous sentence, but immediately closed it again.

After a few seconds, she laughed out loud and said to Shang Jianyao:

"Is this interesting to you?"

Seeing that none of the four people thought there was any big problem with Shang Jianyao's words just now, and they discussed it without any disguise, Qiao Chu, who had no time to be distracted, didn't care about this episode even more.

At this moment, Shang Jianyao got up from his seat, leaned forward, and grabbed Qiao Chu's shoulders.

Qiao Chu subconsciously reached out and pulled out the "United 202" from the gun bag on his waist, but he found that he couldn't lift his right hand.

This was not because he lacked strength, nor was it because Shang Jianyao grabbed his shoulders, causing the joints to be locked, but because he was unable to perform this movement at all, as if he had never had this function.

A layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Qiao Chu's back. He instinctively turned his head and looked at Shang Jianyao in the back row:

"what are you up to?"

Shang Jianyao grabbed his shoulders with burning eyes, and a crazy smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"I want to fuck you!"

Jiang Baimian's mouth opened slightly, not knowing whether to scold, laugh, or stop.

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen, who were unaware of the situation, were both surprised and confused at this moment, and they seemed to be witnessing gods descending to earth, no, the devil descended.

Qiao Chu's expression became distorted, but his face did not turn red, as if he had encountered too many similar situations.

There were suddenly invisible ripples in those golden eyes.

While Qiao Chu was desperately resisting Shang Jianyao's force to drag him to the back row, Qiao Chu turned his head and said softly to Bai Chen:

"Give him a toy."

Bai Chen didn't know why and stepped on the brakes out of habit.

She opened the armrest box in a daze and took out a few pieces of paper and a ballpoint pen.

At this time, Shang Jianyao was a little impatient and suddenly changed the position of his hands.

He pinched Qiao Chu's neck with his left hand, turned his right hand into a fist, and smashed it under the opponent's ear, trying to knock him out and break all resistance.

Almost at the same time, Qiao Chu's body became extremely soft, like a huge, human-shaped python.

He flinched and swayed, and his neck strangely escaped from Shang Jianyao's palm, appearing to be slippery.

Then, he said with a gentle voice and very fast:

"Isn't it good to draw?"

Shang Jianyao's movements paused momentarily, and his expression showed unconcealable confusion and confusion.

He then looked at Bai Chen, took the pen and paper from the other person's hand, and the smile on his face became clear.

After getting the pen and paper, Shang Jianyao couldn't wait to sit down and draw a picture using his thigh as a cushion.

He looked very focused and extremely quiet, like a child addicted to his hobby.

When Qiao Chu saw this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced around coldly and smiled without a smile:

“It turns out there are awakened ones among you.

"Too bad, me too."

His hands have returned to normal, and his right hand is on the handle of the "United 202".

This is his own pistol.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Qiao Chu gave up the idea of ​​drawing out his gun and shoot Shang Jianyao, and said with a slight smile:

"Praise me for my kindness and tolerance, you will still be useful in the future.

"I don't accept your obsession, but it's understandable. There was even a horse chasing me for more than a hundred kilometers before."

Jiang Baimian listened with rapt attention and sincerely praised:

"Bravo."

"It's amazing." Shang Jianyao repeated Jiang Baimian's words while drawing without raising his head.

Jiang Baimian then inquired:

"Where are you from?"

"Where are you from?" Shang Jianyao read again.

Jiang Baimian couldn't help but glare at him, thought for a few seconds, and said "ha":

"I have breasts, you don't."

Just as Shang Jianyao was about to repeat, his expression suddenly became confused again.

After a few seconds of silence, he regained his concentration and continued painting quietly.

At this time, Qiao Chu had sat upright and answered Jiang Baimian's question in a deep voice:

"That's not what you should know."

"I understand." Jiang Baimian didn't feel dissatisfied and smiled sweetly.

Qiao Chu turned to look at Bai Chen who had already stepped on the brakes:

"continue."

Bai Chen had no objection and once again walked through the vine "forest" deep in the swamp under the command of Qiao Chu.

During this process, Shang Jianyao kept painting until he completed a work.

Then, he seemed to break away from a dream and looked at the picture like a child's graffiti in surprise.

He raised his head, looked at the back of Qiao Chu's head, and remained silent.

As time passed by, his state became similar to that of Long Yuehong and others.

However, he did not forget to fold the picture in his hand and put it in his pocket.

Jiang Baimian tried to take a peek at what he drew, but failed.

After walking forward for a few more hours, a group of finger-sized mosquitoes with dark red heads suddenly flew out from among the green, black and reddish vines.

"Bad luck..." Qiao Chu couldn't help but curse when he saw this, and Bai Chen's body tensed up instinctively.

One swarm, two swarms, three swarms, more and more giant mosquitoes flew out from between different vines, and they were all covered in darkness.

These ferocious mosquitoes with dark red heads gathered together, just like the diffuse black smoke, densely packed, covering the sky and blocking every gap.

In such a scene, they seem like an army from hell, or a curse from the old world.

"Close the window and rush over!" Qiao Chu gave the order in a deep voice.
