Shang Jianyao leaped up and shouted into the microphone from a distance:
"What, do, you, want, me, for?"
He spoke slowly, word by word, and by the time he reached the last word, he had run to Jiang Baimian's side and taken the microphone.
The whole process was smooth and perfectly demonstrated his coordination, balance, running speed, and timing.
Jiang Baimian was stunned at first, then understood and mouthed to Shang Jianyao:
"Do you need me to add special effects?"
This guy was imitating a scene from an Old World drama where the voice arrived with the person.
Shang Jianyao smiled at her while talking to the person on the other end of the phone.
After a few sentences, he put down the microphone and said spiritedly:
"Director Su is looking for me."
Su Yu, a board member of the company in charge of the Security Department.
"What does Director Su want you for?" Long Yuehong asked, puzzled.
Shang Jianyao shook his head:
"I don't know."
Jiang Baimian pondered for a few seconds and guessed:
"You've already confessed that you're an Awakened, and the price you paid is in the mental aspect. The 'C-14' project team's tests and the psychiatrist's evaluation become unnecessary. The corresponding situation observation is probably directly transferred to Director Su, who is also an Awakened and a member of the board of directors."
Leave professional matters to professionals.
Shang Jianyao was stunned for a moment and shouted loudly:
"No way!"
"Why?" Bai Chen didn't quite understand his reaction.
Shang Jianyao looked dejected:
"Chatting with Doctor Lin was quite comfortable, and the exclusive cafeteria of the 'C-14' project team was also very delicious."
Jiang Baimian held back her laughter and said:
"I can only say, accept your fate."
Shang Jianyao was silent for a long time, then sighed deeply:
"A person must know how to look forward.
"I wonder what the food in the board of directors' exclusive cafeteria tastes like..."
At this point, his eyes lit up again, and he looked impatiently.
. . . . . .
Underground Building, Fifth Floor, Management Area.
Shang Jianyao met Su Yu, a member of the company's board of directors, in room 506.
Su Yu stood in the sofa area, pointed to the opposite side, and said with a smile:
"Come and sit."
At this time, several guards wearing bionic intelligent armor had not yet left the room.
Shang Jianyao glanced at the office area with a wide wooden table and black-backed chair and asked Su Yu in confusion:
"Director Su, why don't we talk there? You sit in your seat, and I'll sit across the table.
"That seems more formal."
Su Yu, wearing a gray combat uniform, hadn't had time to answer when the honest Shang Jianyao spoke to himself:
"This is to show a magnanimous mind that respects subordinates."
Su Yu, who was in his early forties, blushed slightly, coughed twice, and said:
"We're just chatting, not talking about serious matters.
"Sit down, sit down."
His square face with thick eyebrows and large eyes, full of signs of sun and rain, returned to normal in an instant.
After several guards left the room, Shang Jianyao sat on the long sofa opposite, and Su Yu smiled and said:
"I've read the report submitted by Old Jiang's daughter.
"I want to hear you tell it again, from your perspective."
Shang Jianyao got ready:
"This is a long story."
Su Yu habitually wanted to say, "It's okay, tell me everything," but remembering his past behavior, he held back the thought, just smiled, and didn't speak.
Shang Jianyao waited for a while and sighed regretfully.
Then, he carefully recounted the "Old Task Force's" experience from the Steel Factory Ruins to Taicheng, focusing on the key points.
Without a doubt, this was a version that Jiang Baimian had approved.
The only difference was the emphasis on the role of the small jade Buddha.
This had rarely been reflected in the telegram content before, but Jiang Baimian's report also mentioned that after the Taicheng incident, the "Old Task Force" truly confirmed that this item obtained from the Steel Factory Ruins was special enough.
Su Yu listened and nodded from time to time, finally saying:
"With that jade Buddha and the 'Six Senses Beads', even without the 'Angel of Life' necklace, you could have discovered the node of 'New World'."
Speaking of this, he praised:
"Encountering the node of 'New World' for the first time and finding a way to deal with it, knowing how to use high-intensity electricity to flush it, you are indeed quite outstanding in both ability and intelligence."
Shang Jianyao became humble on behalf of Jiang Baimian:
"It's just good luck."
Su Yu thought for a moment and said:
"Besides these, what changes have happened to you personally?"
Shang Jianyao instantly showed an expression that said, "I'm not sleepy talking about this":
"When I encountered the 'Zhuang Sheng' dream in Taicheng First High School, I tried sleeping at the school gate to observe what changes would occur around my mind room."
"What did you discover?" Su Yu's expression unconsciously became serious.
Shang Jianyao smiled:
"A room was transferred out of thin air.
"'102'!"
"'102'..." Su Yu's pupils dilated slightly, and he murmured to himself.
After a few seconds, he sighed deeply:
"So, room '102' corresponds to the Year Guardian 'Zhuang Sheng'.
"Besides Yan Hu, a company Awakened also entered this room and went completely mad."
As he spoke, he picked up an enamel water cup and took a big gulp.
Shang Jianyao asked curiously:
"How did you determine that the person who entered was also '102'?"
"Before exploring a new room, every Awakened at the 'Mind Corridor' level in the company reports the target door number to the board of directors, so there is still a chance to be rescued," Su Yu replied calmly.
*Snap*, Shang Jianyao slapped his thigh:
"I didn't report it!"
Su Yu was stunned for a moment and asked:
"You entered a new room, a room not mentioned in the data?
"Before exploring the depths of the 'Mind Corridor', just follow the prompts in the data and get through those psychological shadows step by step!"
As for later, seeking your own gate to the 'New World' is a more personal matter. However, unless there are no gains in the rooms mentioned in the data, no one will easily try an unfamiliar target location.
This was also why he hadn't reminded Shang Jianyao before.
Who would choose the difficult path over the easy one?
Su Yu couldn't help but wonder if he had underestimated the severity of Shang Jianyao's mental illness.
Maybe he wasn't just suffering from multiple personality disorder, but also had other problems, or perhaps the personalities that split off liked to go to extremes? Su Yu quickly speculated on the reasons.
Shang Jianyao nodded without hesitation:
"Yes."
He raised his fingers and counted one by one:
"'522', '912'..."
Su Yu listened silently and frowned:
"You didn't explore '102', did you?"
"I'm not stupid!" Shang Jianyao replied truthfully.
This made Su Yu feel that he was the one who seemed stupid for asking that question.
He organized his words and said:
"Go back and sort out the general situation of those rooms and submit it to me. This counts as a contribution, and there will be corresponding rewards. Don't worry, they will be generous."
Shang Jianyao made no attempt to hide his excitement:
"Okay, okay!"
Su Yu took a breath and said:
"You should have opened the door of '102' and looked at the scene inside. What exactly did you see?"
"That dream of Taicheng First High School, and a scene that seemed to be the entrance to Linhu Village in Dajiang City..." Shang Jianyao didn't hide anything and briefly described it.
Su Yu listened very attentively.
After exchanging information about this matter, he asked with concern:
"Are you doing okay?"
Shang Jianyao nodded:
"We're all doing fine."
Su Yu wasn't surprised and said "Mm":
"Actually, until you enter the 'New World', the severity of your price will gradually increase. It won't be too exaggerated, even if you explore the depths of the 'Mind Corridor'."
Mentioning the depths of the "Mind Corridor," Su Yu asked:
"How many rooms are you away?"
Shang Jianyao made a gesture of reminiscing and calculating:
"Theoretically, there's one more."
He was absolutely honest.
"Not bad." Su Yu nodded slightly. "It seems that exploring new rooms has brought you a lot of gains."
"So-so." Shang Jianyao replied humbly.
Su Yu pointed out:
"When you reach the depths of the 'Mind Corridor', there are two big changes:
"First, you can separate your aura and make props yourself;
"Second, if you master the mind coordinates of a certain person, you can open the corresponding channel and directly descend into the past, which will also allow you to restrain the chaos in the 'Sea of Origin' to a certain extent.
"In terms of power, there is no qualitative improvement."
*Clap clap clap*, Shang Jianyao applauded Director Su.
Su Yu's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he changed the subject and said:
"What do you want to ask?"
Shang Jianyao thought for a while and asked with a serious face:
"Director Su, why don't you organize the Awakened at the 'Mind Corridor' level to have regular get-togethers, exchange feelings, sing songs, and dance?
"This can effectively improve team cohesion!"
Su Yu frowned:
"Every Awakened at the 'Mind Corridor' level suffers from more serious negative prices. Forcing them together may not only fail to make them friends, but also easily turn them into enemies."
Shang Jianyao nodded at first, then laughed loudly:
"I thought of another reason.
"If the Awakened at the 'Mind Corridor' level know each other and succeed in forming a group, the board of directors will find it difficult to manage!"
Su Yu's expression froze slightly.
"Be careful, you'll be silenced for telling the truth!" The honest Shang Jianyao complained about his reckless colleague.
Without a doubt, Su Yu also heard this sentence.
He reached out and rubbed his cheeks, smiling and said:
"That's about it for today. I may ask you to cooperate with two or three more physical examinations later."
"No problem!" Shang Jianyao answered forcefully.
After he walked out of office 506, Su Yu leaned back and rested his left hand on the armrest of the single sofa.
He stared at the air in front of him, lost in thought.
Just then, the door opened with a *clang* again.
Shang Jianyao, while resisting the guards' interception, shouted while jumping up and down:
"Director Su, I have another question!
"Can I have lunch in the cafeteria on this floor?"
Su Yu rubbed his temples and squeezed out a smile:
"Yes."
Finally, Shang Jianyao left quietly.
Su Yu spent nearly a minute regaining his previous state of mind.
He gently patted the armrest of the sofa, looked at the air in front of him, and muttered to himself thoughtfully:
"102..."
