Embers Ad Infinitum - Chapter 95
Shang Jianyao just heard the name Wang Yafei this morning.
      When he attended the gathering of the “Life Sacrifice” cult, some members mentioned this person and said that he supported the establishment of a “fertility center” so that the children would come from artificial wombs.
      The member also said that because she was always arguing with Wang Yafei about this matter, he was deliberately suppressed by him as the supervisor, found an excuse, and moved to the most difficult cleaning post.
      At that time, “Guide” Ren Jie responded:
      ”God will punish sinners.”
      Less than four hours after these words, Wang Yafei died of a sudden cardiac arrest after being at work.
      If it hadn’t been for hearing the relevant words in advance, Shang Jianyao would definitely not think that there was any problem with such a piece of news-within “Pangu Biology”, people died of sudden illness every year, which is a normal phenomenon.
      If Wang Yafei’s death was two or three years later, Shang Jianyao would not think that there was too much abnormality, and would definitely classify this as a coincidence.
      But now, the day when Ren Jie said “God will punish sinners”, “sinner” Wang Yafei died of illness.
      Shang Jian Yao stood up suddenly, took off the previously hung coat, and put it on him.
      He walked out quickly and went straight to the C area.
      As he walked, his speed gradually slowed down and soon became the same as usual.
      When approaching the “Activity Center”, Shang Jianyao swept his eyes and saw Shen Du standing in the shadow of the side wall, immersed in dim colors.
      He stood in a dazed manner. Although his eyes were looking forward, they had no focus at all, so that he didn’t even notice Shang Jian Yao approaching.
      ”Uncle Shen.” Shang Jian Yao shouted.
      Shen Du shivered suddenly, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the source of the sound.
      ”Little businessman…” He managed to squeeze a smile.
      Shang Jianyao said in a very calm tone:
      ”Wang Yafei is dead.”
      Shen Du’s face was slightly pale, and the muscles on both sides of his mouth moved:
      ”I know.”
      His voice was very low, as if he was afraid that others would not see it. s things.
      Shang Jianyao looked at him and asked directly:
      ”This is God’s punishment?”
      Shen Du shook again, his expression instantly becoming blank.
      ”I don’t know…” His gaze crossed Shang Jianyao, his eyes seemed to lose focus again.
      Shang Jian Yao was about to ask again, a five- or six-year-old boy ran over, took Shen Du’s hanging hand, and swayed:
      ”Dad, Dad, it’s time to go home!”
      ”Yeah.” Shen Du returned. After two sounds, he turned his head to Shang Jian Yao and said, “I’m going back first.”
      ”Goodbye.” Shang Jian Yao waved politely.
      Shen Du looked at his child again, gradually showing a soft smile on his face.
      He took the child, met his wife who came out of the “activity center”, and returned to Area B step by step.
      Shang Jian Yao looked at his back without turning his head for a long time.
      During several gatherings of “Life Sacrifice”, he used his “talent” to establish a good relationship with many members, and listened to them share their reasons for joining the cult.
      Among them, Shen Du is because there was a child who died, and it has been difficult to let go. When they have the child they are now, they are more worried about the corresponding problems and afraid that they will not be able to raise them.
      Ren Jie noticed his situation, deliberately made friends, and imparted a lot of parenting knowledge.
      Later, the child Shen Du grew up slowly and became healthy. He became more and more convinced of the gods in Ren Jie’s mouth, and finally joined the “Life Sacrifice” group.
      After another while, Shang Jianyao retracted his gaze and walked to the gate of the “Activity Center”.
      At this time, because the broadcast program had begun, the pedestrians outside almost disappeared, only the voice of playing cards and chatting inside.
      Of course, if you look around carefully, you can still find some pairs of figures in various dark places.
      When Shang saw that Yao was about to pass the gate, he suddenly saw two familiar figures coming out.
      The 27-year-old woman walking on the right was Jian Xin who complained about Wang Yafei at the “Life Sacrifice” meeting this morning.
      She has good facial features and a pretty decent overall. She is a pretty good beauty.
      ——This benefits from the popularity of genetically modified drugs.
      The other person is her husband Zhuo Zhengyuan, who is also a member of the “Life Sacrifice” Order.
      At this time, Jian Xin’s face turned pale, as if she had a serious illness.
      She looked quite nervous and seemed to be a little disturbed, she would be frightened.
      Her husband Zhuo Zhengyuan’s face was gloomy, giving people a feeling of staying away.
      Shang Jian Yao took two steps and stood right in front of them.
      Jian Xin and Zhuo Zhengyuan stopped at the same time, their bodies trembling slightly.
      Shang Jianyao suppressed her voice and said:
      ”Wang Yafei is dead.”
      Jian Xin, with short hair, said reflexively:
      ”A coincidence, it must be a coincidence…”
      Her voice gradually became lower, and only the remaining voice reverberated slightly. With inexplicable panic and confusion.
      Zhuo Zhengyuan swallowed his saliva and said in a deep voice:
      ”The preliminary autopsy results have come out. It is indeed a death caused by cardiac arrest without any external cause.”
      Shang Jianyao nodded:
      ”What a coincidence.”
      He then stepped aside and let Jian Xin and Zhuo Zhengyuan pass.
      When the couple had separated a certain distance, Shang Jian Yao looked back.
      Under the shining of the ceiling fluorescent lamp, the figures of Jian Xin and Zhuo Zhengyuan swayed slightly, showing a little weakness.
      Shang Jianyao remembered that the reason they joined the “Life Sacrifice” Order was that Jian Xin had two miscarriages and finally got pregnant with a third child.
      Today, their child has been born, not only is there nothing wrong, but also directly inherited most of the advantages of the previous generation of genetic improvement.
      This allows him to obtain better talents in subsequent drug adjustments.
      And aside from arguing about fertility with people, Jian Xin and Zhuo Zhengyuan are both very good people. They are caring and love children. They always take the initiative to comfort other members at parties, and they don’t pretend to be invisible when they meet people who need help.
      Once, because Shang Jianyao’s “too little portion” made Ren Jie a little unable to step off the stage, Zhuo Zhengyuan took the initiative to share the sacrament that he had not had time to finish.
      Shang Jianyao slowly retracted his gaze and walked into the “Activity Center”.
      He glanced at it, and did not see Li Zhen and other members of the cult, only the “guide” Ren Jie was still in the old position, chatting with the group of women around forty years old.
      With her hair crossed, Ren Jie seemed to be aware of his gaze, turned her head, and looked over.
      After seeing her acquaintance, she smiled a little and nodded cordially.
      Shang Jian Yao responded with the same gesture.
      He didn’t move closer, found a spot at random, looked at the people playing cards, and listened to the broadcast that would always be affected by various sounds here.
      Time passed by one minute after another, and it was not far before the street lights went out and night came.
      Ren Jie rolled his wrists and glanced at the old electronic watch, stood up, smiled and said to the women around:
      ”Go back, go back, someone is waiting for you!”
      A group of people laughed and laughed , and Ren Jie left. “Activity Center” and walked toward my home.
      Shang Jianyao stood up and followed her as usual.
      After turning into another street, Ren Jie saw that there was no one on the road, so he slowed down and let Shang Jian Yao pull closer and walk shoulder to shoulder with him.
      ”Xiao Shang, what’s the matter?” Ren Jie asked in a lower voice and chattering tone.
      Shang Jianyao’s eyes gradually dimmed:
      ”Aunt Ren, you see:
      ”We live on the same floor;
      ”We are all members of the sect;
      ”So…”
      Ren Jie was a little confused at first, and then gradually became clear. Satoru:
      ”So, we need to establish a closer relationship, such as…” As
      she talked, her eyes gradually became strange, her face was a little red, and she didn’t know which direction to think of.
      Shang saw Yao’s eyebrows moved. , Immediately shouted:
      ”Mom! “
      Ren Jie was stunned for a moment, and
      her expression returned to normal. She laughed and said,
      ”Then I will recognize you as a godson.”
      ”If your father and mother are still alive, they will be about the same age as me.” After
      acknowledging her intercourse, her attitude was obviously more enthusiastic.
      Shang
      Jianyao stopped his expression and repeated his previous words: “Wang Yafei is dead.”
      Ren Jie raised her head slightly, glanced at him, and after a few seconds of silence, she asked:
      ”Do you feel frightened and uneasy?”
      ”There is still surprise.” Shang Jianyao added help.
      Ren Jie smiled slightly and said:
      ”Do you suspect that this is the punishment given to sinners by the gods?”
      ”Or is it a reward?” Shang Jianyao’s thoughts jumped uncontrollably.
      Ren Jie almost didn’t return to the rhythm of the conversation just now, and slowly laughed:
      ”I can’t answer your question for God.
      ”It can only be said that Si Ming is always watching us, rewarding and punishing good and evil.
      ”As for whether it is this time or not, I don’t know, but if it wasn’t for God’s punishment, I don’t think it would be such a coincidence.”
      Shang Jianyao asked,
      ”Then who knows if it is?”
      Ren Jie’s expression suddenly became serious:
      ”Holy Master.”
