Chapter 20 Gaze(1/2)
As soon as he saw the sign "Tieshan City Second Food Company", Shang Jianyao made a "wow" sound.
His clothes changed accordingly, and he put on a yellow monk's robe and put on a red cassock.
Shang Jianyao's face also turned black, as if made of metal, and his eyes were bright red, covering the front with a layer of blood gauze.
This is one of the "five holy places" of Buddhism, so of course you should be treated politely!
After changing his "identity", Shang Jianyao stood up on his chest with one hand and turned the "Six-Sense Beads" with the other hand, and sighed with a low voice:
"Namo Anuttara Samyaksambodhi, I have a chance to meet you thousands of miles away."
The string of "Six Conscious Beads" in his palm was just a decoration and had no effect, because the body was not by his side and was kept by a special agency of the Security Department.
After reciting the Buddha's name, the semi-mechanical monk Shang saw Yao take a big step and walked to the door of "Tieshan City Second Food Company".
The entrance to the first floor is a revolving door, but it has long lost its power and stopped there.
Shang Jianyao did not show off and chose the small door next to him.
Obviously, the owner of the room did this at that time, so that all the things along the way were in perfect detail and extremely real.
After entering the hall, Shang Jianyao saw transparent plastic boxes lying on the ground or placed on the table, and saw wrapping paper scattered everywhere.
With the help of old world entertainment information, Shang Jianyao was not difficult to guess that the first floor was turned into a retail store by the second food company. This can be seen from the large number of counters arranged neatly.
While moving forward slowly, he swept through the wrapping paper on the ground.
Tangerine peel candy, marshmallows, shaqima, butter melon seeds, soda biscuits, sandwich biscuits, cakes... The corresponding names are reflected in the eyes of the semi-mechanical monk Shang Jianyao.
His face suddenly changed back to normal state, and his left hand subconsciously raised it and wiped the corner of his mouth.
Gulu.
Shang Jianyao swallowed his saliva.
Then, he hurriedly withdrew his gaze, making his face dark again, and a red light appeared in his eyes.
In a blink of an eye, Shang Jianyao was the style of a Taoist monk.
Then, he began to murmur to himself:
“The food here is either moved away or just packaging is left;
“The ‘intentional’ people seemed to dare not enter this area;
"so……"
This is not a "reasoning clown", Shang Jianyao answered himself:
"So, this is done by humans, after the destruction of the old world, the surviving humans in Tieshan City did it."
Papa, Shang Jianyao applauded him.
"Food companies are indeed very suitable for serving as survivor bases in the apocalypse." He emphasized again.
He immediately refuted himself:
"uncertain.
"It can only be said that the Survivor Base will be built around it to facilitate access to food."
"Look around and you will know if it's right." Another Shang Jianyao stopped the meaningless quarrel.
The semi-mechanical monk Shang Jianyao took a few more steps forward and then raised a very serious question:
"As a monk, what is my Dharma name?"
A certain Shang Jianyao immediately gave his own suggestions:
"Save all living beings."
"Namo Anuttara Samyaksambodhi, from today on, I will be the Zen Master Pudu." The semi-mechanical monk Shang Jianyao raised his palm again and pronounced the Buddha's name.
He walked around the first floor of the Second Food Company without any speed or slow pace and confirmed that the hall was a retail store, with warehouses behind and on both sides.
Apart from garbage all over the place, there are no creatures here, and even crawlers do not exist.
"It seems that the owner of the room has also carefully inspected the first floor so carefully." Shang Jianyao nodded slightly and said to himself.
If this is not the case, where he has not checked, he needs to subconsciously extract details from other experiences to improve the places, and there are likely to appear mosquitoes, cockroaches and other things.
Shang Jianyao, who had no gains, stepped on the stairs leading to the second floor.
At this time, it was already late, and the dim light shone in from the narrow glass at the corner, so that the area would not be out of sight.
But even so, Shang Jianyao had to draw a flashlight, otherwise he would hardly see the boundary of the ladder under his feet.
As he walked, as a mechanical monk, he suddenly stopped and took a look around.
He always felt that someone was watching him in the darkness around him.
With the flashlight storm, all the situations around him were taken into his eyes:
The weathered and mottled walls appeared, and the ceilings equipped with lamps but exhausted electricity were clearly visible in Shang Jianyao's mind.
In such an environment, almost no one can hide.
So, the gaze comes either from below the stairs or from the second floor.
Shang Jianyao was not timid, so he shook the flashlight and walked up to the second floor of the building step by step.
There are dark corridors and rooms here, which seem to be the office area of the Second Food Company.
Shang Jianyao's pace slowed down a little, and the flashlight swept through the door number of the room next to him:
“203”
A nameplate is posted on the door corresponding to “203”, which says:
"Sales Department"
Shang Jianyao was about to continue moving forward when he suddenly turned sideways and aimed the flashlight at room 203.
He felt that kind of gaze again!
Silent gaze hidden in the darkness!
The yellow light beam illuminated several messy desks, several chairs lying on the ground, and dusty desktop computers and corresponding LCD screens, but it just didn't show humans or any other creatures.
"Is this what the owner of the room felt at that time?" The mechanical monk Shang Jianyao raised his hand and touched his steel chin.
Immediately afterwards, the red light flashed violently in his eyes:
"No..."
"Why is it wrong in Namo Anuttara Samyaksambodhi?" asked Zen Master Pudu, a semi-mechanical monk.
Shang Jianyao smiled and said while feeling the different texture of his steel chin:
"There are no human bones here, and there is no large amount of feces. It is unlike many people who have gathered together before."
Shang Jianyao immediately refuted himself:
“Didn’t you just say it?
“The Survivor Base is nearby and not here, they just come regularly to replenish food.
"And even if this is really a survivor base, they can bury their companions' bones elsewhere and form a team to urinate and defecate in the distance."
Shang Jianyao rubbed his steel chin:
"This is not the point, the point is that there are no traces of human life here."
"So, it's the first explanation." The honest Shang Jianyao took action.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt something and shone the flashlight towards the end of the corridor.
In the light that was not dispersed, a figure emerged from the darkness.
This is a woman wearing a white shirt, a blue suit, and looks like an old world workplace elite.
She is about 20 years old, with short black hair that has been over the ears, beautiful eyebrows, straight nose, and neither thick nor thin lips. She looks pretty good.
After this first impression, Shang Jianyao quickly discovered more details:
The woman's shirt and suit had a lot of stains, and she hadn't cleaned it up for a while. Her nasolabial folds, her face muscles, corners of her eyes, and her neck lines were not like she was only in her early twenties, at least in her thirties.
In addition, there were a lot of blood in her eyes, but it was not turbid.
As soon as he saw Shang Jianyao, the woman's eyes showed a look of fear and her expression was quite vivid.
She ran wildly, ran and rolled, and disappeared at the end of the corridor.
"Someone..." Shang Jianyao sighed.
Then he turned around and walked back to the stairs.
After exploring this level, his spirit has been consumed most of his energy and he has to leave a margin for his return journey.
The strange woman who appeared in one of the five holy places of the "Crystal Consciousness Cult" cannot be treated with caution no matter how cautious it is.
Shang Jianyao plans to continue exploring next time when he is in a better mental state.
No accident happened on the way back.
To be continued...
