Embers Ad Infinitum

"She is in my body!"

John shuddered at these words, just like when the old world was not destroyed, he accidentally watched a horror movie when he was young.

However, he soon discovered that this was not the point.

The point is that the captain actually responded to Shang Jianyao's words!

Before that, the part of human beings who were in a state of chaos and madness that John and Shang Jianyao encountered could not communicate at all. Even if not all of them remained silent and silent, they just said something to themselves, almost Talking, unlike the captain, "question and answer".

Of course, because he was hiding most of the time, John actually encountered very few "chaos", and he was not sure whether the captain was in a special state.

This is not what he wants to know, he only cares about one point:

Does this mean that the captain can still communicate, and that he and the future "businessman" can get some information from him?

John settled down, looked at the captain who was in a courtship stance facing no one, and tentatively asked:

"Do you know the origin of the night's anomaly?"

Woo, the cold wind of a winter night poured in from the open window, making John unable to shrink his body.

The captain still knelt there on one knee, repeating the previous "chant":

"Oh my goddess!

"Please accept my love!"

This... John frowned.

Shang Jianyao next to him laughed:

"You are not attractive enough."

"What does this have to do with charm?" John murmured.

He initially suspected that only topics related to the "goddess" could make the captain respond in a state of chaos, madness, and unconsciousness.

Such recognition disappointed John.

He thought for a while, and said to Shang Jian Yao:

"Didn't you always want to figure out the reason behind this incident?

"We are now working together to search this room, hoping to gain some rewards."

"Good!" Shang Jianyao couldn't wait for a long time.

John ignored the center of the room and sometimes kneeled, chanted courtship, stood up, and paced back and forth. The tearful captain walked directly to the red desk with books and papers.

Those books were all popular before the destruction of the old world. John Wang himself had read a few books and knew that there was nothing wrong with them.

However, he still picked up the books carefully and shook down to see if there was anything caught in them.

Some items were really shaken out by this shaking.

They fell down, scattered on the tabletop, a few slightly yellowed photos.

The protagonist of these photos is the same person, a pretty beautiful woman.

She has long brown hair, blue eyes are as charming as lake water, and there is always a smile on her face, either sweet or sunny.

In different photos, the age of this woman is different. The youngest woman is 17 or 18 years old, wearing a cheerleading uniform, and her figure is quite hot.

"Is this the goddess of the captain?"

Shang Jianyao's voice suddenly sounded behind John.

John was taken aback, turned halfway, and blamed:

"Why are you walking without a sound?"

"Because there are carpets here." Shang Jian Yao explained sincerely.

He turned his gaze to the photos again, and said curiously and excitedly:

"Long crush?"

Shang Jianyao's tone reminded John of a cousin of her own. The old age had not yet destroyed the society. She was in this state when discussing certain stars.

John looked at the photos again, looked at the captain subconsciously, and cursed in a low voice:

"Beast!"

"The reason?" Shang Jianyao asked with bright eyes.

John pointed to the photos and said:

"This young lady is so young, he actually calls others a goddess!

"Does he not even look at his age?"

At least forty!

Shang Jianyao seemed to be a little disappointed that the reason for "Birds" was not strong enough, and asked instead:

"Are you a little jealous?"

"Well, what's so jealous of?" John asked stiffly.

Frankly speaking, he was a little bit jealous, because the women in the photos looked like celebrities, and she and the captain did not know whether there was any substantial emotional entanglement.

This made John, who was not very outgoing in character and lacking female friends, feel sour before the destruction of the old world.

"Yes." Shang Jianyao didn't care if the other party was really jealous, and pointed to the photo, "From the perspective of the yellowing, it should be some years old."

John suddenly came to his senses: These photos should have been taken before the destruction of the old era, when the captain was in his twenties.

Moreover, the age of the women in those photos is progressive. In her youngest meeting, the captain may be less than twenty. There is no problem of poor seniority and love between young and old.

Thinking of this, John unconsciously weaved a story in his heart and said it:

"The captain has a crush on this young lady, and the other party already has a boyfriend. He can only collect photos secretly and fantasize privately. When the old age is destroyed, the two have no contact at all. So the captain fell into a state of chaos and hallucinated. The backlog of desire in my heart shows up?"

"Then how do you explain the captain's saying'she is in my body'?" Shang Jianyao was quite interested in this topic.

Unconsciously, John fell into the atmosphere of discussion:

"Maybe this is a fantasy picture. In our culture, we like to describe love in terms of the spirit and flesh blending together."

"I don't think so." Shang Jianyao shook his head.

After John looked at him, Shang Jian Yao continued:

"First of all, the two are really not lovers, otherwise the captain will not only have a single photo of each other, but not a photo of the two."

"Right!" John then reacted.

The reasoning ability of future people's "quotient" is still very strong.

Shang Jianyao further thought about it:

"After the destruction of the old world, the captain who secretly loved each other tried to rescue her, but found that she was mixed with other men, sharing joys and sorrows, and supporting each other.

"Under intense jealousy and disappointment, in the apocalyptic environment that is out of order, the furious captain acted irrationally. He killed his goddess and her boyfriend."

Having said that, Shang Jianyao showed a grim smile:

"After some time, because of lack of food, the captain cast his eyes on the body of his goddess...

"That's why he said that the goddess is in his body."

John was dumbfounded and inexplicably nauseated.

He was lucky. From the destruction of the old days to the present, he could always find food. The longest hunger period did not exceed three days, and he didn't need to do those cruel and terrifying things.

"Yours, what is your basis?" John felt that the situation described by "Shang" was too much, too dramatic and dark.

Shang Jianyao said in a teaching tone:

"This is called a bold assumption!"

"..." John had nothing to say.

However, the captain's phrase "she is in my body" always made John feel the room whizzing, and it is difficult to completely deny Shang Jian Yao's "speculation".

He paused and said:

"Continue looking for clues."

The two separated again, going to each side, looking through the various things in the room.

In the process, John became a little jealous again.

Because there is actually a wine room in the room, which contains many famous wines from the old age.

"Damn, he would rather waste energy in these places than turn on the air conditioning system!" John grumbled.

This allows them, passengers and crew, to enjoy the "charm" of the combination of "winter" and "sea breeze" at night.

"Maybe he is fat and he is not afraid of cold." Shang Jianyao did not know when he came back here.

John glanced at the captain's body, which was obviously rounder than ordinary people, and accepted this explanation.

After the destruction of the old age, under the situation of very short food, the captain can have such a figure, which shows that he has not been short of resources.

"Did you find any clues?" John started to focus on the subject.

Shang Jianyao asked seriously:

"He likes to eat sweets. Does it count if the consumption of tissues is higher than normal?"

"No." John answered without hesitation.

The loss on his face can no longer be concealed, because he has not found any useful clues here, and the captain's room is almost completely searched.

Shang Jianyao's expression became serious:

"I think I still have to ask him directly."

"He" refers to the captain.

Infected by that seriousness, John nodded slowly and said:

"You can try it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Jian Yao turned around excitedly and asked loudly:

"Why do you think she is your goddess?"

Isn't it looking for clues about the night's anomaly? John couldn't keep up with Shang Jian Yao's thinking at all.

A smile appeared on the face of the captain who had just finished an chant:

"She is as beautiful as the morning sun, and as kind as a pure angel.

"I was seriously ill once and needed a bone marrow transplant. She who happened to match her stood up."

It turned out that this was the correct explanation for the phrase "she is in my body"... John found that he and Shang Jian Yao had both thought wrong.

Things are far less horrible, nor do they involve the blending of spirit and flesh.

"What an angel!" Shang Jianyao echoed the captain's words.

He didn't ask what the night anomaly was from ~www.readwn.com~ The captain's eyes were clearly confused, as if he was in an unconscious state.

He muttered to himself:

"She is also the captain of the cheerleading team, she is cheerful, enthusiastic, good at tennis and dancing..."

"Awesome!" Shang Jian Yao praised.

The captain continued:

"She is also very good-minded, she is definitely not a woman who only has a breast and a face.

"She published a thesis when she was in college, but after graduation she chose to go to the laboratory as a researcher..."

Shang Jian Yao's smiling expression changed.

He raised his hand and rubbed his chin, and asked thoughtfully:

"researcher?"
