Embers Ad Infinitum

After pushing open the window, Jiang Baimian stretched out his hand and jumped out. Then like a spider, relying on his super balance ability and the protruding parts of the exterior wall, water pipes, etc., he quickly moved outside the corresponding window of Room 214. .

During this process, she almost missed, because she was still carrying the "chaos right hand", and her body muscles had a certain degree of freezing reaction, and they were not so flexible.

Fortunately, her biological prosthesis was weakly affected and exerted force in time to stabilize her body, so Jiang Baimian did not fall from the second floor.

Although even if she did fall to the first floor, this height would not cause much harm to her, but it would inevitably cause her to miss the best opportunity to deal with the resident in room 214, which would be a big problem.

Too late, but not too long, Jiang Baimian, who had already arrived outside the window of room 214, elbowed the glass into pieces.

Amidst the crashing sound, Jiang Baimian put one hand in front of his face, grabbed the window frame with the other, and jumped up.

As soon as she landed, she suddenly said "Hey".

Because in her induction, the human consciousness and bioelectrical signals in room 214 were rapidly fading or weakening.

In common language, this means that the target has entered a dying state and may stop breathing at any time.

How can it be? Obviously it just deprived him of his consciousness... Jiang Baimian was surprised and confused.

She was about to rely on the help of the faint starlight outside the window to observe the situation in the room, but a shadow appeared behind her, darkening her vision.

Shang Jianyao followed and blocked the window.

Jiang Baimian made a decisive decision and took out the flashlight he had just stuffed into his pocket for climbing convenience and pushed the switch.

Snap, a yellowish beam of light shines forward, letting the scene in the room shine into the eyes of Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao:

Two single beds are placed on the left side, and a long wooden table and cabinet are on the right side.

At this time, a figure fell on the aisle between the bed and the table, his eyes wide open, and there was a faint stench coming from his lower body.

He is a gray man, wearing a slightly outdated white T-shirt and black trousers. He seems to be under thirty years old, with a long face and messy hair.

"He's dead..." Shang Jianyao said to himself in confusion as he entered the room through the window, "I clearly used 'consciousness deprivation', not 'cardiac arrest'."

Obviously, he and Jiang Baimian had the same idea:

It should be impossible for such a powerful opponent to die so easily, or even be subdued so easily. There may be some twists and turns in the process.

But the fact is that the target is really dead, and human consciousness disappeared in the induction of Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian.

"Check it." Jiang Baimian quickly gave the order.

She walked a few steps quickly, squatted next to the body, stretched out her left hand, and carefully began to inspect it.

At this time, because the sound of windows being smashed was more obvious at night, the hotel staff on duty noticed the movement and went to the back of the building to look for the source. The soldiers in charge of martial law in the distance also turned their attention here.

After quickly checking the traces, Jiang Baimian made a preliminary judgment.

She frowned slightly and said:

“This man was deprived of consciousness and seemed to have hit his head when he fell.

“There were obvious signs of impact on his head, and there were also traces of marks on the nearby table legs.

"So, this is an unfortunate accident? The coma caused by 'deprivation of consciousness' caused the target to accidentally hit his head when he fell to the ground. He had long-term abnormal high blood pressure and fragile blood vessels in his brain. After such a hit, he suffered massive bleeding in multiple areas. , not even leaving time for rescue?"

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

"The price he paid was actually not high blood pressure, but bad luck?"

The target had previously encountered such absurd events as having finished taking his antihypertensive medicine and having his medicine stolen from the room. Now, a fall cost him his life.

Jiang Baimian was unable to refute Shang Jianyao's guess.

In her more than 20 years of life, this was the first time she had seen such an unlucky person.

After a few seconds, she breathed out and said:

“The price should still be high blood pressure, otherwise not taking antihypertensive drugs for once would not cause it to be so serious.

"So, regardless of the fact that high blood pressure can be controlled with antihypertensive drugs, which is equivalent to a trick, the actual problem is not small at all. Some things may not matter to others, but to him, they are A big event, a little bit of misfortune, can spiral out of control.”

"Yes." Shang Jianyao said with emotion, "I think our current situation is quite good."

Being able to say such things means that something is not very good... Jiang Baimian muttered silently, and his eyes fell on the deceased's chest.

A portrait badge is worn there.

The portrait is very blurry, and you can’t tell who it is at all. There are some mottled marks on its surface, which seem to be remnants of the old world.

Jiang Baimian thought for a while and said to Shang Jianyao:

“Come and get it and confirm the situation.

"I'm responsible for preventing accidents."

Seeing that he didn't get what he wanted, Shang immediately knelt down and stretched out his hand towards the old badge.

As soon as he took hold of it, his whole body froze there and he couldn't move his eyes.

At the same time, Jiang Baimian felt that the temperature in the room had dropped a little, making her tremble even more fiercely while she was still wrapped in a quilt.

wrong! Jiang Baimian didn't hesitate. He leaned forward suddenly and stretched out his right hand to hold Shang Jianyao's left palm.

Wearing the "Six Senses Pearl" there!

With the help of the "Six Senses Pearl", Jiang Baimian saw in front of Shang Jianyao, at the badge, a black shadow was trying to come out of nothingness, getting bigger and bigger, becoming more and more human-shaped!

It was connected to Shang Jianyao and had partially invaded his body.

At first glance, it looked like an evil ghost suddenly appeared in front of Shang Jianyao, an evil ghost from hell rather than reality!

Jiang Baimian directly raised his left palm, facing the black shadow on the badge, and released the high-voltage current without reservation.

Now!

Countless silver-white arcs jumped out and struck the black shadow one after another.

The burnt smell spread, and the suddenly illuminated room finally attracted the attention of the hotel staff on duty.

Finally, in Jiang Baimian's "sight", the black shadow shrank into nothingness. There was no more weirdness coming out of the badge, and the surface became increasingly mottled.

Shang Jianyao's eyes returned to normal, and he sighed without fear:

"It's a lot like Mr. DiMarco, but it feels a lot stronger."

"But this kind of strength didn't show up... because it was separated from the node of the 'New World'?" Jiang Baimian also roughly understood what happened just now.

Someone in the "New World" tried to use the brooch as a medium to "seize" Shang Jianyao!

And judging from the fact that the dead person wearing the brooch has never been "seized", the person in the "new world" should have a close relationship with him - if he has been "possessed", then after his death, the "seized body" cannot You need to go through the node of the "new world" and just transfer directly.

Shang Jianyao didn't answer, his focus was entirely on his badge, and he didn't care at all about his right hand, which was blackened by electricity, and his hair that was slightly standing up.

——At such a close distance just now, it was inevitable that he would be affected by the impact of Jiang Baimian's high-voltage current. Fortunately, it was not from the front.

"The ability is 'Tian Er Tong', but the price is the loss of taste." Shang Jianyao quickly came to a conclusion.

He had already tried using the badge and heard the words of the hotel staff discussing calling the Public Security Committee.

"Tian Er Tong"? No wonder they can monitor our movements and deal with them in time... Jiang Baimian suddenly realized it and stood up to look at the situation around the room.

The most eye-catching thing is a computer and several instruments on the table.

Relying on hackers to break into the broadcasting system? Jiang Baimian looked around and said to Shang Jianyao, who was having a great time playing "Tian Er Tong":

"Put the badge down and call the Sheriff's Commission and ask them to take over."

Being in the territory of the "Salvation Army", the "old tune team" still needs to know how to avoid suspicion in many matters.

For this reason, when Shang Jianyao was on the phone, Jiang Baimian specifically asked him to emphasize the existence of Commissioner Huang and Ding Ling.

While waiting for the people from the Public Security Committee, Gnawa also rushed to Room 214, while Long Yuehong and Bai Chen were guarding their belongings in their suites to guard against accidents.

At this moment, the corridors were filled with vigilant hotel staff on duty. Outside the window, several teams of soldiers responsible for martial law were transferred, and drones were flying back and forth in the air.

The "Salvation Army" was very efficient. Not long after, Ding Ling and seven or eight other members of the Public Security Management Committee arrived at the "Huitu Hotel".

"Don't worry, Commissioner Huang is already nearby, just tell the truth." Ding Ling glanced at the Public Security Management Committee personnel who were inspecting the room and the body, and said to Xue Shiyue and Zhang Qubing.

She then added:

"We are actually looking for people who have had accidents in the past few days. I didn't expect you to lock in the target so quickly. Okay!"

Jiang Baimian told how he and others got clues from Mr. Zhang who was wearing an aluminum pot, how they communicated with the hotel manager Shen Kang, how they checked the target vehicle, how they recalled everything during the day in the dead of night, and how they suddenly noticed conflicts in their memories. The key points were spoken once.

Of course, she gave the main "credit" to Gennava, so as not to expose her and Shang Jianyao's abilities and prop characteristics.

"It's great to have a robot." Ding Ling said sincerely.

At this moment, a member of the Public Security Management Committee who was responsible for inspecting the room came over, frowned slightly and said:

“The nuclear warhead was not found.

"Not in the car either."

Jiang Baimian secretly took a breath after hearing this.

The current situation is that the suspect has been found and caught, but the nuclear warhead is missing?
