long night fire

The first target Shang Jianyao chose was the white-haired old lady who had chatted with him before and sat under a tree to enjoy the shade.

He had just approached, and before he had time to speak, the old lady stood up with a look of indifference mixed with a little hatred, and took two steps back.

boom!

Shang Jian Yao suddenly had a penetrating wound on his chest!

This came from a shooting, but he didn't notice where the shooting was happening. The "integrated early warning system" of the military exoskeleton device did not respond. The bullet seemed to come out of nowhere, and it came from the rules.

Shang Jian Yao slowly lowered his head and looked at his chest.

The place was bright red, bloody and bloody, and the beating of the heart could be vaguely seen expanding and contracting.

Such a shooting made Shang Jianyao feel severe pain from the heart, but miraculously, the injury was serious, but not fatal.

"Is it unreasonable? I am wearing a military exoskeleton device, and my chest is protected by bulletproof armor. How can I be pierced by a single shot? Even a Gauss rifle is not so easy!" The honest Shang Jianyao whispered.

He then rubbed his chin:

"Is this a so-called 'broken heart' blow?"

The novelty-seeking Shang Jianyao popped his head from the side, and suddenly realized:

"Because we are equivalent to playing the role of the owner of the room, being disgusted by the old lady in front of us, as if after seeing an unwelcome stranger, the corresponding memory is mobilized, and the hidden psychological shadow surges out, so the emotion of sadness is substantiated into The thing of being shot in the heart, and the emotional trauma is something military exoskeleton devices can't stop, and there's no warning, once it happens, there's an immediate response."

Here is a psychological shadow, many things cannot be followed according to the logic of reality, and the manifestations of many things are more symbolic.

The sinister and vicious Shang Jianyao immediately sneered:

"The psychological quality of the owner of the room is too fragile, right?

"Is that heartbreaking?"

He opened another mouth on the forehead.

The honest Shang Jianyao couldn't seize the dominance of his body, so he could only respond from the other shoulder:

"Otherwise, how could it evolve into a psychological shadow?"

The calm and rational Shang Jian Yao nodded thoughtfully:

"If this is the case, then Dabai's conjecture is correct. The essence of this psychological shadow is the painful memory of the owner of the room who was abandoned, hated, and treated indifferently by all acquaintances and even some family members."

"Let's confirm again. I feel that we can bear two or three more 'sad' blows." Shang Jianyao, who was looking for novelty, eagerly looked at the middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses before.

The rest of Shang Jian Yao retracted his body, so as not to frighten the target and affect the effect of the experiment.

Shang Jianyao, who was looking for novelty, then walked towards the middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

He pushed up his mask and smiled.

The cold and emotionless face of the middle-aged man suddenly twisted, and he shouted hysterically:

"Go away!"

With a stabbing sound, Shang Jianyao's abdomen protected by the military exoskeleton device, including the armor and skin, was all cut open, bloody intestines gushed out, and part of it was broken.

Chan Master Pudu replaced Shang Jianyao, who was seeking novelty, and sighed:

"Namo Ayutara Sanliu Sanbodhi, this is 'broken heart'."

"Aha, heartbroken, I have no complaints..." Shang Jianyao, who is curious and loves to sing and dance, regains the initiative.

The vicious but cowardly Shang Jianyao finally couldn't bear it anymore, and once again made a mouth on his forehead, urging:

"Don't you treat the wound, doesn't it hurt?"

"Heartbroken" and "Heartbroken" are both top pains.

"Then I'll leave it to you!" Shang Jianyao, who was seeking novelty, gave up his body immediately.

After the wound was treated, Shang Jianyao rubbed his chin, "talking to himself" and said:

"It is now basically determined that the essence of this psychological shadow is the painful memory of the owner of the room about being abandoned.

"But facing the pain seems to be full of danger. If you do this twice, it will be equivalent to 'sad' and 'heartbroken' injuries, and we will most likely die here."

Reality will become a vegetable.

"Try other methods first." The cowardly and cowardly Shang Jianyao didn't want to suffer another "sad" or "heartbroken".

"Yes, yes." The agreeable Shang Jian Yao immediately agreed.

Shang Jianyao, who values ​​relationships but is still a child mentally, is more afraid of pain, and feels that he cannot face pain recklessly.

After some exchanges, they suppressed Zen Master Pudu who said "If I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell" and the reckless Shang Jianyao, they decided to find another way of thinking.

The joke-loving Shang Jianyao said with a smile:

"Since the psychological shadow of the owner of the room is that he is abandoned, hated, and treated indifferently by the people here, shouldn't we let him be accepted again?

"This is our forte!"

"Try it." The calm and rational Shang Jianyao agreed to the plan.

They joined together, and with the help of the loudspeaker attached to the military exoskeleton device, they shouted to the middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses not far away and the other hundred or so people:

"Everyone has been together for so many years, why do you have a little affection, I know you have difficulties, I don't blame you, I can accept it, I hope you can also abandon that bad memory and go back to the beginning..."

He directly used "mind implantation".

And in order to make the "thinking implantation" produce enough effect, he played the emotional card that everyone has known for so long.

Smiles gradually appeared on the faces of the middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and about a hundred people nearby.

Shang Jianyao hurriedly said the same words to another hundred or so people, lest they destroy the effect of "thinking implantation".

—he can only affect so many people at a time, has to repeat the work, and has to be careful not to arouse suspicion.

In the real world, when other people see a 180-degree turn in the attitudes of their colleagues and neighbors, they may think that Shang Jianyao's emotional cards have played a role at first, but after two or three times, they will definitely notice that there is something abnormal. , will try to wake up the affected people, so that Shang Jianyao's "mind implantation" will be wasted.

But here is a psychological shadow. The owner of the room may have never had similar interactions with the people here, and he himself probably lacks the corresponding experience. The group "persuades", without backlash, as smoothly as a speech.

Finally, Shang Jianyao completed the "thinking implantation" of all human consciousness in the family area of ​​the Fourth Research Institute.

He saw everyone's smiling faces again, felt the kind attitude of most of them, and received warm hospitality.

Everything is back to before the change happened.

However, this psychological shadow has not collapsed, and the problem has not been substantively resolved.

"Could it be that the subconscious mind of the owner of the room can tell that this kind of understanding and acceptance is false, and he doesn't want to believe it?" Shang Jianyao said to himself silently while rubbing his chin.

Suddenly, his heart moved, and he repeated a sentence:

"I don't want to believe...

"In the psychological shadow, I am equivalent to playing the role of the owner of the room. I clearly know that the kindness and enthusiasm in front of me are false and brought about by 'thinking implantation'...

"I don't believe it, and the owner of the room won't believe it either."

"It turned out that I was the one who slipped through the net!" The honest Shang Jianyao said with his right fist and his left palm.

In order not to let any Shang Jianyao miss out, they did not adopt Shang Jianyao's method of implanting Shang Jianyao's thinking, but returned to the original stage, and used the mask of the military exoskeleton device as a mirror to convince themselves:

"You see:

"Here, it's like returning to the company;

"Everyone smiled sincerely and spoke nicely;

"so……"

Shang Jianyao and others suddenly realized at the same time:

"Isn't this home?"

He chatted with people everywhere, slowly organized a group of people to dance and a group to sing, and dutifully played the role of the activity center supervisor.

A cheerful atmosphere gradually enveloped the family area of ​​the Fourth Academy.

……

Tarnan, "Dream" Hotel.

The proprietress, Ainuo, was sitting at the front desk, resting her chin with one hand, watching an old world TV series without concentrating.

Suddenly, she shuddered.

Just now, she recalled some past events buried deep in her heart in a trance, and remembered the faces that were originally kind and friendly but now cold and stiff.

When she crossed the island of fear, she had actually let go of it, but after occasional flashes of corresponding images in her mind, she still felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

Unlike usual, the fragment that flashed through her mind just now is:

Everyone suddenly smiled at themselves again, singing and dancing, very enthusiastic!

"This is even more terrifying, okay..." Ainuo whispered to himself.

She said this because she knew very well:

Those in the family area were already dead at that time.

Dead people don't change their expressions and smile.

Based on this, Ainuo suspected that someone had broken into his spiritual room and was exploring the corresponding shadow.

Her expression changed for a while, she shrank her body, and muttered:

"Watch the drama and watch the drama. After he finishes exploring, he will leave."

The price she paid was "escapism."

……

It was not until his spirit was nearly exhausted and he had to exit the "506" room that Shang Jianyao got rid of the effect of "thinking implantation" and regained his corresponding judgment.

He rubbed his chin, and said to himself in doubt:

"I can't make myself believe it...

"what should I do now?"

At this time, at No. 349, Area C, 12th Floor, Jiang Baimian was also thinking about the psychological shadow in the "506" room.

While letting her thoughts spread out, some questions suddenly flashed in her mind:

"The owner of the '506' room should be a resident of the family area of ​​the Fourth Research Institute, or have lived there for a long time, and is familiar with almost everyone and has a certain relationship.

"Then, why was he unanimously abandoned by those in the family area of ​​the Fourth Academy, why was he treated with indifference and hatred?

"What did he do, what did he do?

"Or, have you discovered some secret that shouldn't be discovered?"

Chapter No.17

Jiang Baimian was very curious about what happened to the person in room "506".

In her opinion, the relationship between the other party and the Fourth Research Institute is like that of the "Old Tune Group" to "Pangaea", and she can't imagine that she and others will break away from "Pangaaa" because of something and be killed by her family. People, relatives, neighbors and familiar employees all hated, hated and treated him with indifference.

Jiang Baimian couldn't help but wonder if the owner of the "506" room made some mistakes back then, which led to the disaster of the Fourth Research Institute.

Only in this way can the situation in that psychological shadow be explained.

Of course, this is just a guess based on what Shang Jianyao has come into contact with and the details he has learned. Once there are clues pointing to other possibilities, it has to be overthrown and start over.

And this guess itself has certain problems:

The two psychological shadows in the "506" room that "Pangaea" currently has, and the third room that Shang Jianyao entered, do not involve emotional scenes such as "guilt", "shame" and "guilt".

Jiang Baimian does not believe that a person who never forgets the change of attitude of "people from his hometown" and regards this as a painful memory will accept the big mistake he made with peace of mind.

Even if you instinctively deceive yourself and hypnotize yourself, there will be a certain reflection in the subconscious.

Unless, he really didn't think it was a mistake, and in retrospect he still insisted that he took the most correct way to deal with it, but he couldn't understand why his family, relatives, friends, and neighbors looked at him and treated him that way.

From this point of view, Jiang Baimian had to think that perhaps the problem lies with the Fourth Research Institute.

Combined with the deformed corpse that Shang Jianyao saw in the first psychological shadow, she felt that this speculation was reasonable.

Huh... Jiang Baimian let out a breath, retracted his thoughts, and planned to ask Shang Jianyao tomorrow if he had broken through the psychological shadow in the "506" room, and how he broke through.

At this time, the radio in the corridor outside rang:

"Hi everyone, I'm Hou Yi, the hourly news announcer, and it's 8 o'clock in the evening..."
