Embers Ad Infinitum

"I like meetings..." Shang Jianyao's expression was slightly distorted, as if he remembered some bad memories.

Du Heng looked at the soles of his feet again.

In that room, Shang Jianyao, who was seeking novelty and curiosity, was playing games with Xiao Chong.

The corresponding door was dark, as if the long night had come.

Du Heng pointed again and said:

"'Si Ming', your big boss, the administrative director of the Eighth Academy, Zhao Danlin.

“She has three degrees in two countries, is proficient in multiple languages, is strong and shrewd, and can do things quickly and efficiently. She manages the entire Eighth Hospital in an orderly manner, allowing me to be the boss and focus on the progress of scientific research.

"She was originally a very caring person who loved reading books and watching movies. She had temperament and connotation. But after becoming a senior official, she gradually became like this. It is really unpredictable.

"The price for her was lethargy, sleeping most of the time and being awake for no more than a month a year."

Although there are essentially only two languages ​​in Huitu, one is Huitu language and the other is Honghe language, they have various dialects and variations, thus forming the so-called multinational languages.

"It turns out that the big boss is always sleeping. No wonder he ignores the believers and doesn't care much about the company." Shang Jianyao suddenly realized.

He listened with great interest.

Du Heng turned slightly and looked to the other side.

In the corresponding room, the honest Shang Jianyao was asking the autistic boy Du Shaochong if he had a crush on any girl. The scene was very embarrassing for a time.

The door there twisted, revealing streaks of sunlight.

"'Doubleday', security director Brian Stanley." Du Heng recalled, "He didn't know much about the gray soil culture, but he was very interested in it. He was deceived by Lin Sui and Dafitier and taught broadcasting gymnastics and eye exercises. , when he later found out the truth, he was not angry, but liked it very much, and would just have some fun.

"His flaw is forgetfulness, which can be exploited. If something distracts his attention later, he will probably forget what he is here for. Well, the premise is that 'Si Ming' and the others have no chance to remind him. ."

As "Zhuang Sheng", Du Heng has controlled the "New World" for many years. He can read the operation logs of other Zhi Sui, read other people's thoughts, and gradually mastered the price of all Zhi Sui.

"A very interesting person." Shang Jianyao said.

Du Heng nodded:

"He is also a person who values ​​his freedom very much."

He looked elsewhere again, wanting to take this opportunity to "introduce" the enemy Zhi Sui to Shang Jian Yao, so that he could fully understand what kind of person the other party was and what the price was, so that he could target him in a targeted manner. action.

The door to the corresponding room was already half open, and there was darkness behind the door, with a vague female figure.

Du Heng smiled and said:

"'Yougu', financial officer, Yu Huatong.

“At the beginning, she was a very cute girl, and she was very vigilant in her job. Everyone who came to the finance office seemed to be reporting false accounts.

"Her problem is that she is emotionally hypersensitive and easily becomes frustrated, sad, angry and resentful."

"She helped us a lot." Shang Jianyao said honestly.

Du Heng turned around again, pointed to another room and said:

"'Golden Balance', Richard, one of the main researchers of the project, has also made certain achievements in genetics.

"He is the kind of guy with high IQ and low EQ. He has not had a girlfriend since he was young. I once suspected that he had a crush on Dafitir, but it has never been confirmed.

"His price is symmetry obsessive-compulsive disorder. If you want to take advantage of it, be sure to pay attention. This is a double-edged sword. A slight mistake will make him completely lose his mind and attack crazily."

Shang Jianyao looked at the golden and symmetrical door and asked doubtfully:

"Why do their features on the door look so similar to their titles?"

"The essence here is a high-latitude consciousness space. I have claimed it for a long time and been talked about by believers for a long time. I have unknowingly accepted it and it has naturally manifested itself." Du Heng explained casually.

He pointed to another room and said:

"'Mandala', Sylvie, the assistant researcher on the project, mainly helps us.

“She is a very motivated person and works very hard. She hopes to gain our recognition and become a formal researcher as soon as possible.

"The price for her is that she is extremely eager for compliments and admiration. For this reason, she is willing to protect those corrupt guys. You will behave well later."

"Oh." Shang Jianyao had an expression on his face that said, "I'm just using my brain."

Du Heng turned around:

"'Truth,' uh, what's his name?

"He had just entered the institute at that time, and I wasn't the one who recruited him. I never knew his last name, and later he replaced it with his title. There was no need to know.

"I remember that his family background seemed to be very good, he was quite proud, and he was quite romantic.

"His price is a lack of self-discipline. If you ask a question, he will definitely answer or refute it."

After the introduction, Du Heng closed his eyes and said to himself:

"We all got along very well at the beginning. We were serious at work but lively in private. We were very united and worked hard for the same goal..."

Shang Jianyao saw that when Teacher Du Heng opened his eyes, there seemed to be a faint light flickering in his eyes.

…………

Inside the swirling building.

Jiang Baimian spent "a little" time and finally returned to the core research area.

At this time, the flashing lights gave people the feeling that the machine here was about to explode.

Step by step, Jiang Baimian came to the experimental cabins. He didn't bother to check the body of "Bodhi", put down the crate containing the nuclear warhead, and opened the transparent cover of the other one.

She immediately put Shang Jianyao's body in and closed the hatch.

Then she looked at the operating buttons on the instrument.

There are multiple modes for this, one of which is labeled "God Forbidden".

Teacher Du Heng is worthy of being a former gaming boy and a rebellious high school student, and his name is so characterful... Jiang Baimian sneered while checking the machine.

She believed that it was most likely named by Du Heng.

Researchers involved in the corresponding projects probably all believe that when the human brain is developed to its extreme, humans will gain the power of gods, and the emergence of experimental results in one stage after another has deepened their confidence in this aspect.

Jiang Baimian looked up at the large silver-black "host" and the surrounding cabinets containing biochips, and then looked down at Shang Jianyao in the experimental cabin. His right hand was hanging above the button, as if It was frozen there.

After a few seconds, she muttered:

"To destroy the 'New World', you don't necessarily have to blow up the machines. Can't you just pull out the wires?

"There is no 'new world' to provide shelter, and the biochip has stopped functioning. Those without bodies will definitely, uh, have a high probability of dying on the spot, and their consciousness will dissipate, while those with bodies can take the opportunity to return to the earth..."

Jiang Baimian thought she had to give it a try. She carefully left the experimental cabin and came to the nearest cable.

She observed the lines and judged that these were not the most important cables and were just used for experiments to avoid triggering a fierce counterattack by the executives.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Baimian pulled back a distance, raised his right hand resolutely, and fired a grenade at the cable.

Boom!

When the explosion sounded, the cable seemed to have an invisible barrier, blocking out all the shrapnel and impact waves.

This scene reminded Jiang Baimian of the time when he shot and killed the fishman god envoy, but now the invisible barrier has no tendency to waver.

Relying on a military exoskeleton device, she avoided the aftermath in time.

After standing up again, Jiang Baimian thought for a while and opened his palm to that place.

A red laser shot out and landed on the invisible barrier. It scorched and made a sound, but could not make any progress.

After trying the electromagnetic weapons but to no avail, Jiang Baimian turned to the "host".

She wanted to see if the button there was tactile.

What she expected was that she encountered an invisible barrier before she was completely close to the "host".

"Huh, it seems that the only one I can come across is the experimental cabin... Maybe it was Teacher Du Heng who spent a lot of effort to 'win' it." Jiang Baimian's expression behind the mask was gloomy.

She returned to the experimental cabin where Shang Jianyao was lying.

Looking at Shang Jianyao, who was having a sweet dream, Jiang Baimian was still undecided.

But she also knew that delaying it any longer would only lead to bad things.

Jiang Baimian closed his eyes and opened them after more than ten seconds.

She let out a long sigh, stretched out her right hand, and resolutely pressed the "God Forbidden Zone" button.

Countless patches and needles protruded from different places in the experimental chamber, surrounding Shang Jianyao's head, while other instruments monitored the body's condition.

Jiang Baimian knew that this was already the latest experimental machine. When the Eighth Academy was first established, he had to rely on his head to "drill" before he could conduct further experiments.

…………

"Pangaea", underground building.

The elevator was going down rapidly, with constant pauses. From time to time, people came in and people went out.

Finally, only Long Yuehong and Bai Chen were left here, and the sixth floor where their destination radio station was located was about to arrive.

The two were silent until the elevator door opened.

Long Yuehong walked out, couldn't help but glance sideways at Bai Chen, and asked in a low voice:

"Are you scared?"

"I'm not afraid." Bai Chen shook his head, "I have experienced situations more desperate than this."

Long Yuehong said "hmm" and said nothing more, but a thought popped up in her heart:

"I hope that Xiaobai's and I's children will not encounter similar things in the future and can live happily and peacefully for the rest of their lives."

With their thoughts turning, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen walked out of the stairwell and walked towards the radio station.
