Chapter 97 Experience(1/2)
After listening to Gnava's answer, Shang Jianyao suddenly raised his right hand holding the "Berserker" assault rifle and chanted a low voice:
"Namo Anuttara Samyaksambodhi."
"What does it mean?" Gnava asked sincerely.
He knew this was a Buddhist catchphrase, but he was not sure why Shang Jianyao used this place.
Shang Jianyao sighed and said:
"It may be the ripples we stirred up last time that caused all the 'intentional people' here to die."
Gnava, who was pressing against the chameleon's head, moved the metal-cast neck up and down:
“There is a certain probability.”
Shang Jianyao then pointed at the dilapidated apartment in front of him and said:
"Get in."
He and Gnava quickly found Ester's home in Corningmis based on the details provided by Gitis.
It is located on the top floor of the apartment and is connected by two houses. The living room is extremely wide, but there are only a few single sofas scattered, a coffee table with leather wrapped around the edge of the debris and some cabinets located by the wall. The ground is full of various toys.
This includes a lot of building blocks.
Some of them piled up into fortresses, some turned into animals, and some were not completed yet, and corresponding components could be seen around them.
Dust accumulates in every place here and is visible to the naked eye.
Gnava's eyes flashed with red light for a while before he said:
“There is no hospitality function here, it has become a playground for children.”
It can be seen that this was the original subjective wish of Ester or his mistress.
They didn't consider entertaining guests at home, and they didn't even want to place more sofas.
"They should love those two children very much..." Shang Jianyao suddenly said something.
Gnava recalled his daughter and fell into silence for a moment.
In silence, his eyes swept across every corner of the living room and finally fell on a photo frame on the surface of the coffee table.
There were two children in the photo. The older one was a boy, four or five years old, with a slightly fat body, and his golden hair was combed into 300% of adult feelings. He looked awkward and disgusted, and seemed to be reluctant to take photos. The younger one was a girl, who was only one or two years old, with her blond hair tied into small braids, her blue eyes were clear and ignorant, and she smiled carefreely, sweet and cute.
Compared to other ruins, many things here that were destroyed for more than ten years and there were no relics that the hunters dared to enter were still preserved quite intact, as if they were sealed in place by time.
Gnava gazed for a while before saying:
“The occupants should never come back.”
"Why do you say that?" Shang Jianyao asked suddenly with his head turned around.
"One is that there are no traces of biological activities here, and the other is that when a disaster breaks out, people in the city should have become 'intentional people'." Gnava explained conscientiously.
Shang Jianyao shook his head and said seriously:
“The 'unintentional person' also knows to go home.”
Gnava did not refute, but just followed this logic and analyzed:
“There are no traces left by ‘unintentional people’ in the living room, unless they go directly through the windows of several bedrooms.”
"You'll know after checking it." Shang Jianyao walked into the living room with the "Berserker" assault rifle and walked into the rooms deep.
Every scene he and Gnava saw had a quiet but grimy feeling, and the masters seemed to have never come back.
Looking at the big bed protected by the fence and the toy bear on the big bed, Shang Jianyao was silent for a long time.
Gnava stared at him for a while before saying:
"They should have been walking or playing outside at that time, and they weren't at home..."
Judging from the situation where many vehicles collided on various roads in Koningmes, the time of the disaster broke out during the day.
Shang Jianyao and Gnava's last judgment was that when the residents of Koningmis became "intentional people", they found it difficult to calm down, and large-scale killings occurred between them.
Shang Jianyao did not say anything, walked to the bed, picked up the toy bear and the diamond necklace from the nearby cabinet, and stuffed it into the empty backpack behind Gnava.
Then he walked back to the living room, found a building block box, broke the fortress into small pieces, and put it in.
Similarly, this ended up in Gnava's backpack.
After completing these things, Shang Jianyao looked around and said in surprise:
"We didn't encounter any accidents!"
He looked like he was smiling at the fact that his fate was less wise and his enemy was unscheming.
"It's normal." Gnava analyzed, "This is not the area that overlaps with the 'New World', and there are no 'unintentional' activities. Ester is not a particularly powerful person who involves many hidden characters. We came to his house to pick up a few ordinary items, which was strange if we encountered an accident."
"It's boring." Shang Jianyao looked disappointed.
He then used the communication system embedded in the military exoskeleton device to tell Jiang Baimian the news that Ester's last wish mission had been completed.
"You can't be careless, you must be absolutely cautious afterwards." After hearing this, Jiang Baimian gave a special reminder.
Shang Jianyao agreed very quickly.
Then he and Gnava set out from the current street to the luxurious apartment marked on the map.
Not long after, the area covered in fog seemed to be in the dark forever appeared in front of them.
Shang Jianyao and Gnava were familiar with the road, turned on the flashlight, bypassed the lights, and walked towards the destination step by step.
The deeper they go, the larger the range they will be, so as not to be sensed by the strong people projected in the "New World".
After all, this cannot be guaranteed to be an acquaintance, it must be a friendly person like Flora and Barnard.
Flora and Barnard are the two "New World" powerful men that Shang Jianyao and Gnava first encountered in the overlapping land.
They were chatting in the cafe with lights on.
Of course, the cafe belongs to the projection of the "New World". In reality, it is just an empty room with garbage piled up.
During another detour, Gnava looked at the street and the corpses on the road. She turned her head and looked at Shang Jianyao, who had kept a certain distance from him to avoid being taken away by the pot, and said:
“Our strategy now works and should help us reach our destination smoothly.
"But later, it will probably be very difficult to go around and take shortcuts. Aren't you worried that the 'Angel of Life' necklace can no longer protect you? Just like last time we met the man in the library projection."
Shang Jianyao looked ahead and smiled through the mask of the military exoskeleton device:
"Since fate has arranged for us to come all the way here, I think we will definitely turn bad luck into good fortune and gain something.
“Isn’t it good to be relaxed when it can be relaxed?”
"But when fate achieves its purpose and no longer cares for us, things will be completely different." Gnava reminded in a slightly synthesized voice, "Dabai said that if you rely on the mountain and the walls fall, only you will rely on forever."
Shang Jianyao scoffed:
"You try to live by yourself for the rest of your life, and he died when he was still a baby!"
"You can debate with Dabai." Gnava said that this was not what he said.
Shang Jianyao laughed and said:
"If fate really stops favoring us, it should be the end of the story."
His tone gradually became serious and serious.
"Aren't you afraid that the story will have a tragic ending?" Gnava's eyes flashed twice.
Shang Jianyao turned his head, looked at Gnava, and said with a smile:
"I will work hard to get the ending I want, whether it is beautiful or miserable. This is my ideal, and I have done so much to have a chance to make a choice for my ideal."
After saying that, he slapped the "Berserker" assault rifle to his left chest and said solemnly:
"For all mankind!"
Before Gnava could respond, Shang Jianyao asked anxiously:
"How about it, am I becoming more and more like a real 'savior'?"
He acted like he was looking forward to praise a child who was afraid of criticism.
"..." Gnava almost turned this corner, and there was a bug.
Honestly, he finally moved the metal-cast neck up and down:
"Yes."
Shang Jianyao was immediately excited, which made Gnava not know for a moment whether he was performing or the truth.
The two walked forward for a while and encountered a street with lights illuminated the fog.
There seemed to be one roadside stall after another.
Shang Jianyao's eyes were straightened, and he was very difficult to retract his gaze and said to Gnava:
"This time I have to go around one block."
"Yes." The same is true for Gnava's analysis.
To be continued...
