Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 136: unexpected clue

Views:

"Senior hunter", I don't know which aspect is advanced... Jiang Baimian muttered to himself in his heart, and waved his hand with a smile:

"thank you."

She took the initiative to end the inquiry before the relic hunters in the queue became irritable.

Returning to the seating area at the edge of the hall, Jiang Baimian saw that there was no one around, so he said to Shang Jianyao:

"There is no age match, so we have to find Chen Xufeng's family information of the guild's top management."

"You can also ask them directly." Shang Jianyao gave another plan without hesitation.

"Visit them one by one and ask them if they have seen Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei?" Jiang Baimian easily understood what Shang Jianyao meant.

"Yes!" Shang Jianyao looked eager to try.

Jiang Baimian suddenly laughed:

"If it was someone else's suggestion, I would be worried that I would be surprised, or I wouldn't be able to ask the truth, but you are different."

Those are Shang Jianyao's potential brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, godparents, godparents, and there will be no problems of deception and betrayal in a short time.

"Then just wait here and see who you can meet." Jiang Baimian looked back at the stairs leading to the second floor, "Don't rush up, such a large hunter guild has awakened people, The probability of genetic modification will not be low, and you have to be cautious."

"You can turn them all into friends." Shang Jianyao suggested.

"And then argue with each other to form a cycle?" Jiang Baimian remembered that Shang Jianyao said some points about the "reasoning clown".

If a person "becomes" Shang Jianyao's friend, and the people around him are also confirming that this is true, then it is difficult for him to discover the truth of the matter and get rid of the wrong reasoning results.

Of course, in practice, this is more difficult. After all, it is impossible for Shang Jianyao to always follow a person and deal with everyone and everything he has seen.

Just like Fei Lin, the head of the "Rootless" camp, in the two or three days when he often sees Shang Jianyao, he will always regard him as his life and death brother, and their degree of commitment is also deepening this understanding. And give the surrounding people a reason to accept it, but after the two were separated for a period of time, even if the people in the "rootless" camp did not have any doubts, they still felt that the head of the regiment was only more compatible with each other, and their accidental words and words It may make Fei Lin wake up in an instant and realize the truth.

This is why Jiang Baimian does not agree with Shang Jianyao's abuse of "reasoning clowns".

On the premise that they don't have the cruelty of murder and silence, the affected people will sooner or later recognize the mistake, and the more people who know it, the more difficult it is to keep the ability of Shang Jianyao to keep secret.

This is not inside the company, the environment is closed, the objects that everyone can contact every day are basically fixed, and there will be no accidents - the reason why Shang Jianyao can make the members of the 495th floor of the "Rite of Life" church always believe that he joined through official channels The reason is that all the people involved were "convinced" by him, forming a circular argument, and the people who were not involved did not know what happened and didn't care about the specific details. It is certainly impossible for believers to talk to them about the Order.

The secrecy of the order helped Shang Jianyao to cover up the traces perfectly.

Of course, with the current communication conditions of the dust, as long as Shang Jianyao did not do anything that caused a huge sensation, even if he leaked the characteristics of his own abilities in one place, he would be a hero in another place.

Facing Jiang Baimian's inquiry, Shang Jianyao nodded slightly and said:

"It's challenging."

"At that time, will they choose you as the president of the guild?" Jiang Baimian made a joke first, and then said seriously, "You don't know what abilities the awakened people may have here, so don't take too much risk. , what if it restrains you? For example, a deaf person, for example, can't reason well, just thinking about how to refute you."

"Deaf people can use the way of writing, which is also useful." Shang Jianyao said seriously.

As for the latter situation, he doesn't seem to have a solution.

"Is this okay?" Jiang Baimian said thoughtfully, "It seems that a more accurate description of the core elements is not a dialogue, but an exchange."

Speaking of which, she suddenly sighed:

"such a pity… "

"Unfortunately, I don't know sign language?" Shang Jianyao asked in a guessing tone.

"No." Jiang Baimian smiled, very proud, "Finally it's your turn to be unable to keep up with my train of thought. Unfortunately, there are distance restrictions, otherwise, you can rely on telephone, telegram, and people remotely. Communication, complete misdirection. What's this called in the old world? Like, yes, phone scams? Internet viruses?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the hall of the Hunters Guild suddenly became noisy.

Jiang Baimian looked back at the relic hunters, then followed their gaze to the huge screen hanging in the air.

The slow scrolling tasks on the screen stopped, fixed on one of them:

"Urgent task:

"Looking for clues about Liu Dazhuang's shooting.

"Description: At 7:56 a.m. on November 23, Liu Dazhuang was shot at South Street and died on the spot. The incident happened three meters outside Hongluo Lane..."

"Remuneration: As long as it passes the review and is confirmed to be valid, the minimum for a clue is 10 Ole, and the maximum is 500 Ole.

"Task level: C, 100 credits.

"Mission Personnel Requirements: Unlimited.

"Posted by: Yecao City City Defense Army Command."

Because it is the task of an official institution, there is no guild guarantee for this.

- In Yecao City, because there are many mobile people and many people with weapons, the city defense forces are responsible for public security.

And 500 ore is enough for an ordinary family to live a fairly well-off year in Weed City. Even the lowest 10 ore can relieve many ruin hunters who have been in trouble. After all, for a single person , This is close to half a month of food and low-cost housing costs.

Although the relic hunters don't want Ao Lei very much, and more hope for materials, but at least within the sphere of influence of the "prime city", Ao Lei's credit is still acceptable, and the value fluctuations are fluctuations, and the magnitude is not too exaggerated.

"This is the shooting case just now." Jiang Baimian looked back.

Having arrived at the Hunter Guild, Bai Chen, who was looking at the giant screen at the entrance, whispered:

"Liu Dazhuang..."

"Do you know?" Long Yuehong asked keenly.

Bai Chen nodded:

"I didn't see who it was just now, I didn't expect it to be him.

"He is a relatively well-known intelligence dealer in the Weed City Underground Market."

"Intelligence dealer? No wonder..." In Long Yuehong's limited cognition, this is a high-risk occupation.

At this time, Jiang Baimian glanced around and saw several people coming in through the side door.

The leader was a little shorter than Jiang Baimian and wore a camel-colored tweed coat.

Her blond hair is softly draped, her eyes are light blue, and the pores on her face are slightly larger, making her skin appear rougher.

In an instant, Jiang Baimian connected her with Kristina, the local vice president of the Hunter Guild.

Seeing many guild members salute her again, Jiang Baimian became more and more sure.

She immediately turned her head and said to Shang Jianyao:

"coming."

Shang Jianyao confirmed the next goal, stepped forward, and rushed over.

Next to Kristina, one of the three middle-aged men in black clothes stepped forward and blocked Shang Jianyao.

In the process, his hand was brought to his waist.

"President Christina." Shang Jianyao shouted in the not so proficient Red River dialect.

Because of his outstanding appearance and no hostility, Christina smiled kindly:

"You can directly use the gray language.

"Is there a problem?"

Her pronunciation is eloquent.

"President Christina." Shang Jianyao said sincerely, "I am a new hunter who joined the guild, and you are also a member of the guild; I am an outsider, and you are also an outsider, so..."

The words that sounded a little messy and illogical made Shang Jianyao look like a new hunter eager to climb to the top.

Christina said with no change in her expression:

"So... have to help each other."

She immediately smiled:

"I have a meeting first. At 9:30, you can find me in my office, room 308 on the third floor."

After she finished speaking, she walked to the stairs.

Just as she and Shang Jianyao passed by, she suddenly stretched out her hand and patted Shang Jianyao's ass covertly.

Jiang Baimian, who has always been paying attention to this side, was stunned when he saw this scene.

Fortunately, her psychological quality is strong, and she did not show the slightest abnormality.

After Kristina and her bodyguards disappeared, Jiang Baimian approached Shang Jianyao, holding back a smile and said:

"How do you feel?"

"I'm careless." Shang Jianyao said truthfully.

"Huh?" Jiang Baimian vaguely guessed what Shang Jianyao meant.

"I should call my mother in time." Shang Jianyao began to review.

Jiang Baimian lowered his head and laughed twice, stabilizing his emotions, and then said:

"Don't blame you, she didn't show anything wrong, she's obviously a veteran."

After comforting the team members, she asked jokingly:

"Wait, are you going?"

Shang Jianyao was lost in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jiang Baimian restrained his smile and said sternly:

"My opinion is don't go.

"There is no mission that requires the sacrifice of members of the team to complete.

"We still have a lot of ways, and you still have a lot of goals."

"I can make her hypocritical." Shang Jianyao said slowly.

"This is also a way..." Jiang Baimian nodded lightly, "but think about it again and be cautious."

While they were talking, the giant screen in the hall changed again:

"Urgent Task (Status Update):

"Looking for clues about Liu Dazhuang's shooting.

"Further description: In the building where the incident occurred, someone encountered the gunman..."

The latter part is a portrait drawn based on eyewitness recollections:

This is a man who is not short in height, wearing a peaked cap, with sharp eyebrows, as if his eyes are not fully opened.

Jiang Baimian just glanced at it, and the whole person suddenly froze.

Although the sketch was not so similar, she still thought of a person by virtue of its main characteristics:

Lei Yunsong!

The missing leader of the "Old Tune Group", Lei Yunsong!
