Chapter 5: islands

"Long Ye Yu Huo ( to find the latest chapter!
When the lights of the street lights went out one after another and the surroundings became pitch black, Shang Jianyao raised his right hand and squeezed both temples.
He lay down completely and closed his eyes.
…………
This time, the place where he appeared was not the "Hall of Stars", but the illusory sea of ​​flowing glimmers.
There is a small island in front of him with dark brown soil and rugged rocks, without any trace of life.
This was the first island that Shang Jianyao encountered after entering the "Sea of ​​Origin".
According to antiquarian Du Heng, this corresponds to the fear hidden in everyone's heart. The "islands" encountered by different awakened persons will never be the same, and the same is true of the number.
Shang Jianyao has stayed here for many days and still failed to defeat this "island".
There are no monsters on the island, but an extremely harsh "natural condition".
Once Shang Jianyao climbed up, all the light in front of him would disappear, and there would no longer be any sound in his ears.
On the island, he seemed to be in a dark, closed, weird room. Not only could he not see his fingers, but he could not even hear his own voice.
This made Shang Jianyao unable to even feel the passage of time, but felt that darkness and silence seemed to have turned into substance, slowly eroding his soul.
He couldn't stay on the island for too long every time, and always quit because of mental breakdown, extreme fear, and close to madness.
Had it not been for the antiquarian scholar Du Heng who talked about the meaning of the "sea of ​​origin" and the different islands, Shang Jianyao would definitely have given up trying to find other islands in the boundless sea.
He believes that bypassing here means that he is defeated by his inner fear, and there is a high probability that the awakened person's ability will no longer be improved or changed.
Staring at the island for a while, Shang Jian Yao lowered his head according to the predetermined plan and looked at himself looming in the illusory water waves.
He hesitated for a few seconds, his eyes gradually deepened:
"They are employees of'Pangu Bio', and I am also an employee of'Pangu Bio';
"They are very young and I am very young;
"Their parents are right beside them, so..."
Shang Jian Yao paused and answered:
"So, my parents are beside me."
A smile gradually appeared on his face, a soft, reassuring smile.
Without wasting any more time, Shang Jianyao climbed onto the rock on the edge of the island with both hands.
Because of the illusory nature of the "Sea of ​​Origin", his clothes did not become wet, and there were no drops of water on his hair.
Shang Jian Yao had just landed on his feet, and his eyes suddenly became pitch black, and he could no longer see anything.
This not only gave him the feeling that he would touch the edge at any time when the space was narrow, but also was inexplicably afraid of the unknown danger hidden in the darkness.
"Hello! How are you?" Shang Jianyao tried to speak loudly, but couldn't hear any sound.
At this moment, he seemed to be abandoned by the world and left in a place where no one cares about extreme horror.
Shang Jianyao tentatively stepped forward, using walking to resolve the fear and anxiety that was gradually rising in his heart.
However, no matter how he comforted himself, that group of "darkness" was still slowly and uncontrollably eroding his soul.
Shang Jian Yao shrank his body, seeming to find a little support in the silent and dark place.
This allowed him to hold on longer than usual, but later, the fact that there was only air around him still made him feel lost, his heartbeat quickened, and his expression gradually shaken.
"Fake..." Shang Jianyao whispered suddenly.
His forehead was sweating quickly, his knees were slowly bent, and he squatted down and embraced himself.
…………
Shang Jianyao opened his eyes in Room 196.
He panted and looked around.
The room was dark and silent outside.
Shang Jian Yao hurriedly took out his flashlight from under his pillow and pushed the button.
A beam of light shot out and shone on the opposite wall, illuminating the clothes hung on the expansion screws and the sink next to it.
Seeing this yellowish light, Shang Jianyao's breathing gradually became steady.
After almost a minute, he turned off the flashlight, pulled up the quilt, and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took before Shang Jianyao was awakened by a knock on the door.
The knock on the door was repeated three times, gradually disappearing.
Shang Jianyao knew that this was a member of the "Life Sacrifice" cult telling himself that the meeting time was approaching.
For members who do not have a watch and are far away from the wall clock on the street, the "Life Sacrifice" cult will send someone who can control the time to remind them.
As for the unwillingness to get up after hearing the knock on the door, or not wanting to attend this gathering for various reasons, that is my own business.
If the decision not to participate has been made in advance, or if there are guests at home who are inconvenient to know about similar things to stay overnight, just wipe off the chalk graffiti under the door before turning off the lights, so that no one will knock on the door.
Shang Jianyao quickly turned over and got out of bed, washed his face, and carefully brushed his teeth.
Then, he put on a dark green cotton coat, took a flashlight, and went straight to the nearby public toilet, which was convenient.
After doing all this, Shang Jianyao followed a familiar road to Li Zhen's house at No. 35 in Area A.
Boom boom boom, Shang Jian Yao tapped on the door three times.
Soon, a deliberately pressed voice came from the door:
"Life is the heaviest."
Shang Jianyao responded very skillfully:
"New life is like the sun."
In the slight movement, the door quickly opened back, and the dim light inside flowed out.
Li Zhen, who raised his eyes slightly, took a look at Shang Jianyao, and said with a smile:
"come in."
She quickly averted her body and let Shang Jian Yao walk into the room.
"You can tell us about the real appearance later." Li Zhen said with a smile while opening the door.
"Okay, Aunt Li." Shang Jianyao was very polite.
Li Zhen randomly pointed to a position:
"Sit down, it's about to start, you are a bit late."
She just said it casually, and didn't mean to blame, after all, it was not really time for the party.
Shang Jian Yao carefully explained:
"I brushed my teeth first."
"..." Li Zhen smiled and nodded stiffly, "Okay, very good."
Shang Jian Yao walked to the small bench and sat down.
The bench is relatively short. For a person of his height, he must curl his feet up as much as possible to keep his fully seated.
Seeing that his posture was obviously uncomfortable, Shen Du, who had already arrived, stood up:
"Let's change positions."
"Thank you Uncle Shen." Shang Jian Yao was not polite.
After sitting back, he looked around and greeted the other members.
He has attended similar church meetings several times and is familiar with all the members of this floor.
After waiting for a while, the "guide" Ren Jie came out of the room leading to the inner bedroom and walked between the big bed, the wardrobe and the cupboard.
"Xiaoshang is back?" Ren Jie, wearing a polyester shirt, nodded lightly and greeted with a smile.
Shang Jian Yao immediately replied:
"Praise your tolerance!"
"..." Ren Jie was stunned for several seconds before she realized that Shang Jian Yao meant that she would like to thank Si Ming for his favor, and finally returned safely.
She smiled reluctantly:
"It doesn't need to be so formal, it's just a normal chat."
Before Shang Jian Yao responded, she said with a solemn expression:
"The preaching is officially started. Today's content is death.
"Life will eventually pass away, just like the leaves will always turn yellow and fall to the ground..."
Shang Jian Yao suddenly raised his hand.
"What's the problem?" Ren Jie asked worriedly.
She thought Shang Jian Yao had discovered something unusual.
Shang Jianyao got up and said:
"The leaves of many trees do not turn yellow..."
Ren Jie's face muscles twitched, interrupting his statement:
"This is just a metaphor.
"Similar questions will not be raised until the sermon is over, listen carefully and don't talk."
"Yeah." Shang Jian Yao slightly sat down with disappointment.
After that, he listened to Ren Jie's sermon with a very focused expression, but his eyes seemed a little empty and lacked focus.
It didn't take long for Ren Jie to end the sermon and said to all the members present:
"Next is the narration stage. You can tell your brothers and sisters about your inner troubles and draw strength from them..."
When she said these words, she stared at Shang Jian Yao, and suppressed this guy with her eyes, not allowing him to speak.
She remembered that when she said something similar for the first time, Shang saw that Yao suddenly interjected:
"Not only brothers and sisters, but also uncles and aunts."
When I finished speaking, I was sure that Shang Jianyao couldn't interrupt~EbookFREE.me~ Ren Jie quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
In the next second, Shang Jianyao took the initiative to raise his hand and shared his inner troubles:
"I'm a little hungry now."
"Next." Ren Jie responded without hesitation.
A woman in her twenties pursed her lip and said:
"Our director of the'material supply market' Wang Yafei has been supporting the establishment of a'fertility center'. He believes that this can reduce the excuses for female employees to ask for leave, and believes that this can make the relationship between husband and wife better.
"I know this is a personal opinion and it doesn't mean anything, but I can't help but argue with him, and he, and he actually found an excuse to transfer me from my original post and put me in the most difficult cleaning post... …"
After listening quietly, Ren Jie raised her arms, shaking like a baby:
"God will punish sinners."
She didn't say much, and said to Shen Du:
"It's your turn."
Shen Du scratched his hair:
"My kids are getting more and more disobedient..."
Next, the members shared their troubles such as death of relatives, rough husbands, cold wives, naughty children, and unsatisfactory work. They all received common comfort from others.
At the end, Ren Jie returned to her original position and said to the members of the order:
"Next, take the sacrament."
Shang Jianyao's back straightened suddenly, his eyes piercing.
Soon, Ren Jie and Li Zhen came out of the room inside, one holding a cylindrical translucent container, and the other carrying various tableware.
The container was filled with white, viscous liquid.
Ren Jie first came to Shang Jianyao and scooped a spoonful of liquid into the lunch box in his hand:
"This is today's communion, yogurt."
Shang Jianyao took a light breath, and replied very religiously:
"Praise your tolerance!"
