"One price, three gifts..."

Shang Jianyao glanced at the human-shaped light and shadow, passed by "him" and walked towards the depths of the hall.

The "shadow" has not changed at all, and the voice of "one price, three gifts" still echoes endlessly.

A few minutes later, Shang Jianyao came to the innermost part of the hall and saw a heavy gray-white stone door.

It is embedded on the black metal wall, bathed in the glory of "stars", highlighting the three grooves on the surface.

These three grooves are located at a height of two meters, one up and two down, just like the three vertices of an equilateral triangle.

Shang Jianyao stared quietly for a few seconds, and suddenly a dazzling "stars" reflected in his eyes.

He then leaned forward and pressed his hands on the gray-white stone door.

White light lit up in the grooves on the surface of the stone door, just like "stars" falling from the sky and crashing into it.

In these three "stars", illusory words emerged quickly, but they seemed to be rolling and changing as Shang Jianyao's thinking jumped, and they could not be fixed.

The gray-white stone door that looked extremely heavy made a creaking sound, but it was stingy to make the crack open.

Shang Jianyao paused, took a breath, and then exerted force again and pushed forward.

The "stars" in the three grooves dimmed as he stopped, and then they burst out with bright and pure light in the process of a new round of force.

The illusory texts in them slow down, but they still do not stop.

The stone gate shook lightly, and it did not take a step back.

Shang Jianyao pushed the stone door again and again. In the end, the blood vessels on his forehead were highlighted, and his facial expression was distorted and ferocious, as if he had used all his strength, but he still did not get a better effect.

"Hu." He let out a sigh, paused, stood in front of the door, watching the three "stars" in the groove faded quickly and disappeared.

He watched all this quietly, without any movement for a long time.

After a while, Shang Jianyao smiled a little, raised his index finger and middle finger with his right hand, and pressed them to the center of his eyebrows.

The next second, his whole body seemed to be much deeper.

Then, Shang Jianyao put his left hand in his pocket, stretched his right palm forward, and pressed it leisurely on the gray and white stone door.

This time, he obviously did not exert his strength, but the "stars" reflected in his eyes became clearer and brighter.

Above the gray and white stone gate, in the three grooves, the "starlight" suddenly illuminated and condensed into a white ball. The illusory words before also rolled and appeared, but the speed of change gradually slowed down.

Finally, they were fixed.

In the order from top to bottom and from left to right, the words in the three white lights are:

"The reasoning clown", "pretentious person", "lack of hands".

The gray-white stone gate trembled slightly, and he retreated a little hard in Zazaza's voice.

Behind the widening door crack, a glimmer of light flashed, and an upward silver-white metal staircase stood quietly in the darkness.

Shang Jianyao tried to stretch his hand through the crack in the door, but failed.

He tried to stuff his feet in again, but failed.

He used his hands and feet to change his postures, from the golden rooster to the straight and upside down, he failed to achieve good results.

After verification, he determined that he could only squeeze the front end of his fingers and the tip of his nose through the crack of the door.

No matter how focused he was, the gray stone door did not continue to retreat.

As he tried again and again, Shang Jianyao's figure gradually blurred.

He finally stopped moving and watched his body fade.

In Room 196, Area B, 495, Shang Jianyao, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes.

He saw the four-cage windows reflected in the street light, the wooden table bathed in the dim light, the "living room" where the light gradually transitioned to darkness, and the end of the bench and the edge of the old bed that was sunk deep in the darkness.

It was so quiet around.

Suddenly, the loudspeakers hanging from the street ceiling sounded at the same time, making a sweet voice with a slightly childlike feeling:

"Hello everyone, I am Houyi, the news announcer at the hourly event. It's 8 o'clock in the evening...

"At 5:20 pm, a small fire broke out in a factory on the 102nd floor, killing one person and injuring three people. The open flame has now been extinguished, and material losses are being counted. The company's board of directors and vice president Ji Ze once again emphasized: "The fire is ruthless, and the alarm bell keeps ringing'...

"From tomorrow, the No. 2 reactor unit of the ‘Energy Zone’ will be officially shut down for maintenance, and the energy allocation of all employees will be reduced by one quarter, and the recovery time will be determined...

"Sun Chuci, chief scientist of the Institute of Geothermal Thermal Research, said that he has been exploring to establish a better geothermal utilization model, which can bring certain changes in night temperature to the 'living area' while maintaining the optimal environment for some plots in the 'inner ecological zone'...

"At 6:40 pm, an quarrel occurred on the 577th floor's 'employee canteen'. A certain employee accused the canteen of the catering staff of the canteen for being unfair. He had to spend about one tenth of the less meat and vegetables. The "order supervision team" on the floor has intervened in the investigation...

"From 7:20 to 30 pm, two male employees fought each other in the 'Activity Center' on the 414th floor. The 'order supervision team' on the floor has intervened in the investigation, and the specific reasons are to be reported. According to other employees at the scene, the incident is related to the results of the unified marriage...

“…

“…At the end of the news, it is still a song that is sung by a cappella. I hope everyone likes it, thank you.

“…”

Shang Jianyao lay on the bed where the street lights could not be shined, listening to the radio with a calm expression without any movement.

Before he knew it, he fell asleep.

When he woke up, the street lights outside had gone out and the surroundings were pitch black.

The cold air filled the room at night. Shang Jianyao found that he had taken off his clothes at some point and retracted into the quilt, and covered the dark green thick cotton coat beside the bed outside the quilt.

He has no clocks and doesn't know what time it is now, so he can only be sure that it is not yet 6:30 in the morning, because the street lights have not been on yet.

He estimated that he might have fallen asleep before 8:30 last night, more than two hours earlier than normal, so he woke up earlier than normal.

Feeling the swelling of his lower abdomen for a few seconds, Shang Jianyao reached out and picked up a thick black plastic torch from next to the pillow, and pushed the switch forward.

A condensed light shot out and reflected the sink on the diagonal opposite.

"Forgot to wash your face, brush your teeth, soak your feet..." Shang Jianyao muttered, suddenly lifted the quilt, turned over and got out of bed.

Within the company, except for employees and managers with higher levels who can be assigned to independent bathrooms, everyone can only take a bath in the large bathhouse affiliated to the "Activity Center".

For some employees who need to clean their bodies every day, the limit for everyone is twice a week, and expires and is invalid and cannot be accumulated.

After getting out of bed, Shang found Yao without delay, put on the dark green thick cotton coat, held the flashlight, hurriedly opened the door and headed straight for the public toilet at the end of the street.

The battery in the flashlight is part of the energy quota, so he dare not waste it - many employees bring their own wooden barrels, spittoons and other things at home, just to avoid going out at night. Unfortunately, those things also need to be exchanged.

At this time, the public toilet was empty and there was no one. The sensing light lit up with Shang Jianyao's footsteps, which was quite dim.

After solving the physiological problems, Shang Jianyao walked out of the public toilet and prepared to go home.

At this moment, he saw a light clearly from the flashlight shot from the corner of the aisle.

A few seconds later, a man wearing the same dark green cotton coat as Shang Jianyao walked by quickly and turned to a place opposite to the public toilet.

Shang Jianyao stared for two seconds, suddenly turned off the flashlight, trot silently in the darkness, and ran towards the small ball of light created by the other party.

Soon, he approached the man and found that he was a middle-aged employee in a nearby neighborhood. He had to call Uncle Shen Du.

"Hi!" He suddenly jumped out of the "darkness" and patted the other person on the shoulder.

Chen Du's hand shook and almost threw the flashlight to the ground.

He looked at Shang Jianyao with horror on his face and breathed a sigh of relief:

"Xiao Shang, you scared me to death!

"It's midnight, don't come so suddenly to say hello!"

Shang Jianyao smiled and said:

"Good evening Uncle Chen, I want to ask what time it is now?"

"It's less than 6 o'clock." Chen Du responded subconsciously.

Outside his house, there is a crossroads with a wall clock hanging.

"Uncle Chen, where are you going?" Shang Jianyao glanced around.

"I'll go, go to the toilet..." Chen Du closed his mouth halfway through his speech.

The direction he was heading was completely deviating from the nearest public toilet.

Under the light of the flashlight, his gentle face was intertwined with blue and white. I don’t know if it was frozen by the cold air at night or for some other reason.

After organizing the language, Shen Du forced a smile:

"I went to the public toilet in District C. Alas, when I was playing in the 'activity center' last night, something fell out there. I just woke up and found out that I wanted to look for it quickly."

Shang Jianyao nodded, and his dark brown eyes seemed to be stained with the pure black around him.

[     www.biqugew.co] He laughed:

"Uncle Chen, look, you are wearing a green coat, and I am also wearing a green coat. You are a man, and I am a man too."

Chen Du was confused when he heard it, and then suddenly realized:

"So, we are church members!"

He suddenly became enthusiastic:

"You're also going to listen to the 'guilder' sermon?"

"Yes." Shang Jianyao responded with a smile.
