Floor 495, Area B, Room 196.

After listening to the full news, Shang Jianyao leaned back on the pillow and raised his hand to pinch the temples on both sides.

His consciousness quickly entered the "Sea of ​​Origin" with a glimmer of light, and he chose a direction to swim.

As we swam, a faint yellow-green fog filled the junction of "sea and sky". In the fog, a magnificent old world city appeared and loomed.

Shang Jianyao immediately adjusted his direction and went all out to swim to the target.

But no matter how hard he tried, the yellow-green fog only brought him a little closer, and his position was constantly changing, and it seemed that he could never reach it.

Shang Jianyao stopped and according to the predetermined plan, he divided his body into nine.

The nine Shang Jianyao set out on their own, heading towards different places, as if they were to weave a net of heaven and earth, leaving the faint yellow-green mist nowhere to escape.

In the vast "Sea of ​​Origin", Shang Jianyao and others can see the target appearing in front of them from time to time, but this will change soon.

After a while, the nine Shang Jianyao reached the maximum distance they could be separated from each other and had to stop.

The yellow-green fog is still at the junction of "sea and sky", and seems to have never been far away.

The nine Shang Jianyao took a breath at the same time, and their figures gathered together.

He sat cross-legged in the "Sea of ​​Origin" with a glimmer of light and entered a state of contemplation.

In just one or two minutes later, Shang Jianyao made a black strip of cloth, completely covering his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, he took out two balls of cotton and stuffed them into his ears.

So, Shang Jianyao entered a state where he could not see or hear.

He just swam casually, not knowing what was ahead and where he would lead.

When he was almost exhausted, Shang Jianyao stopped, took out the cotton from his ears, and took off the black cloth in front of him.

The first thing that caught his eye was the light and thin yellow-green mist.

It's within reach!

Shang Jianyao smiled, held his right fist in his left hand, and bowed to the yellow-green fog:

"There is no one who can do it, and the new world is right in front of you."

After completing this ceremony, Shang Jianyao turned his attention to the mirage-like old world city in the yellow-green fog.

There, buildings dozens or hundreds of meters high stand, forming a magnificent architectural forest.

Their surfaces are bathed in red sunlight, so quiet that there is no sound coming out.

Shang Jianyao did not rush through the fog and entered inside, but swam around the outside and quickly.

The phantom-like city showed itself from different angles.

After a while, Shang Jianyao suddenly saw an arched tunnel exit, saw thousands of glass curtain walls reflecting the sun, and saw a dilapidated street with signs on both sides.

Shang Jianyao stopped, letting his eyes penetrate the faint yellow-green fog and landed on the street ahead.

The words "Second Sister", "Barbecue", "Convenience", "Hotpot", "foot bath", "supermarket" and other words came into his eyes.

The shops corresponding to these signs are either broken or covered with dust, and the common point is that they are all empty.

Shang Jianyao looked back and forth several times, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

He shouted loudly:

"Xiao Chong! Xiao Chong!"

He was so familiar with the image in the fog. It was the ruins of Swamp No. 1, the place they were taken to by Qiao Chu, and the mysterious city where they encountered Nightmare Horse and Xiao Chong!

The only difference is that this is not as broken as Shang Jianyao's memory.

The phantom city echoed his voice without any additional reaction.

Shang Jianyao swam forward a few meters and passed through a faint yellow-green fog.

During this process, he didn't feel anything unusual.

The city ahead no longer has the feeling of a mirage, as real as those spiritual islands.

Shang Jianyao randomly found an unlocked bicycle on the street, rode it, and headed towards the depths of the city.

In the afterglow of the sunset, he arrived at a tall building with his own courtyard. He did not meet a single person on the way, nor did he meet a "unintentional person". The whole city was either dead or dead.

Shang Jianyao turned over and got out of the car, and turned his eyes to the black marble plaque placed horizontally in front of the courtyard.

Above the plaque, golden characters form a name:

"Urban Smart Network Control Center"

This is exactly the same as what Shang Jianyao and the others saw in the ruins of Swamp No. 1.

Shang Jianyao ran away, and as if he was racing with someone, he ran through the courtyard and entered the building where the "City Intelligent Network Control Center" was located.

He skillfully walked down the safety passage layer by layer and arrived at the underground computer room.

Then, he ran wildly in the dark corridor with a flashlight and found the room he had met Xiao Chong.

While pushing the door, Shang Jianyao shone the light of the flashlight in and shouted loudly:

"Xiao Chong! Xiao Chong!"

The tables and chairs in the room were still there, and there was no figure, and it was extremely quiet.

Shang Jianyao showed a disappointed expression.

At this moment, everything around him slowly began to fade and gradually became transparent.

In less than ten seconds, the city dream bubble disappeared like a faint yellow-green mist shrouded around it, just like the last time it ended.

Shang Jianyao returned to the "Sea of ​​Origin".

He then felt a strong fatigue and had to withdraw from the spiritual world.

…………

The next day, Room 14 on the 647th floor.

When Shang Jianyao arrived, Jiang Baimian was the only one.

"Xiaohong wasn't with you?" Jiang Baimian looked up and asked with a smile.

Shang Jianyao sighed and said in a serious tone:

"Old world entertainment materials are harmful."

"He was addicted last night?" Jiang Baimian felt a little funny.

Although she also felt that Long Yuehong's self-control was not that strong, she also thought that the other party would not be like this on the first day.

Shang Jianyao shook his head:

"His parents, his younger brothers and sisters, and his neighbors are addicted."

Hearing this, Jiang Baimian couldn't help but raise his hand, pressed his mouth, and laughed.

Shang Jianyao further said:

"It shouldn't happen after that."

"Why?" Jiang Baimian asked curiously.

Shang Jianyao explained:

"When I passed by their house this morning, I heard his dad wailing there: 'Why did you use so much electricity? The energy quota for this month is almost gone!'

"He was also a little disobedient, as if he was saying to Xiaohong: 'Son, what exactly did you get back? This is so harmful!'

"Xiaohong comforted them: 'I'm d5. The energy quota is almost the same as that of you two. It will be no problem to hold on until the end of the month this month."

Shang Jianyao imitated the tone of the three members of the Long family vividly, which made Jiang Baimian happy.

"So, you didn't wait for him?" Jiang Baimian calmed down and asked in a guessing tone.

Shang Jianyao nodded:

“I think they will be unable to finish talking for a while.

"I have something to look for you."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Baimian sat upright, "What's the matter of yellow and green fog?"

At this time, Bai Chen also entered the office and just heard the next half sentence.

She looked at Shang Jianyao with a little surprise:

"You've solved it so quickly?"

Shang Jianyao shook his head:

"Finished, but not resolved."

"Tell me specifically." Jiang Baimian broke away from the state of listening to gossip and jokes, and his expression became very focused.

Shang Jianyao described how he found the yellow-green fog, how he entered it, and what he found.
