"Ah?" Long Yuehong recalled what happened in the past, and asked back in a little astonishment, "Team leader, you mean, you mean, the boss of the 'Jiuyifang' at that time fell asleep due to the influence of the Awakener's ability. ? That 'senior hunter' obtained clues through dreams?"
"I can only say maybe." Jiang Baimian responded quite rigorously, "But if it wasn't like that, I can't think of how that Odick determined that the gunman had a female companion before the clue was announced, and went all the way to find Lin Feifei. The rented room, we found that we had already searched it."
At this time, Bai Chen, who was quietly listening in, interjected:
"Those who can become 'senior hunters' at the age of 30 will always have some great skills."
It's just that some are in terms of team power, some are in network resources, and some mainly rely on their own strength.
"Indeed." Long Yuehong said that it is completely acceptable for a "senior hunter" to be an awakener.
You know, it took Bai Chen so many years to barely surpass the "official hunter" and become an "intermediate hunter", and there is a "senior hunter" between this and the "senior hunter".
- The further back the hunter status is, the more difficult it is to be promoted, and the required credit points will increase exponentially. In the early stage, if you are lucky, maybe one or two tasks can turn a person from a "novice hunter" into a "full-fledged hunter". .
Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and reminded:
"If you find that guy nearby, don't go to a secluded place. The more people there are, the safer it will be."
Seeing Long Yuehong a little scared, she added:
"This is not to say that your lives are in danger, but that many of the secrets you keep in your mind may not be able to be kept."
It is difficult for people to control what they should and should not think in their dreams.
After discussing this matter, Jiang Baimian counted 50 ore from the stack of banknotes and handed it to Bai Chen:
"Restock some bullets and food for a while."
They came all the way to Weed City. Although they did not encounter many enemies, they still consumed a lot of bullets.
This is because every few days, they have to stop for a shooting training, lest their hands change, and their strength will decline when they encounter situations.
In every good shooter, talent is one thing, and a lot of bullet feeding is another.
"Why do you need to supplement food?" Long Yuehong asked when she didn't understand.
Weed City has a lot to eat, rich and varied.
Jiang Baimian laughed:
"Maybe it's me who always thinks too much.
"The disappearance of Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei, the organization that promotes poisonous knowledge, the death of intelligence dealer Liu Dazhuang, the existence of a suspected 'eternal person' in the guild, and the participation of a 'senior hunter', these things are intertwined, there is a kind of It feels like the mountains and rains are coming and the wind is full of buildings.
"It's okay if nothing major happens, but if the situation takes a turn for the worse, more bullets and more food means we have a better chance of survival."
"It makes sense..." Long Yuehong thought about it for a while and agreed.
He felt that it would give him a sense of security.
Jiang Baimian turned and said:
"Your next task is to replenish supplies. Shang Jianyao and I will return to the Hunter Guild to pay attention to any new clues. After noon, no one is in Hongluo Lane, and then we will go to the owner of the 'Old Clothes Shop'."
Having said that, she smiled slightly:
"The task of finding the traces of Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei will be handed over to those relic hunters."
There is no trick in this, it mainly relies on the investigation of the number of people. Jiang Baimian feels that there is no need to waste the energy of his team. Anyway, there are a lot of "volunteers".
- Knowing the line of female companions, it didn't take long for those relic hunters to find out that Lin Feifei was wearing a hat and mask, carrying a black travel bag, left the rental place, entered Huangjiao Lane, and walked towards South Street.
Although this kind of dress is relatively special and easy to attract attention, not many people will be very impressed without stopping, because people are mainly concerned about the things that repeatedly appear in their line of sight. It may be just a glance, and the two sides will pass by.
…
After separating from Long Yuehong and Bai Chen, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao returned to the Hunter Guild and sat on the chairs at the edge of the hall, waiting for the results of the follow-up investigation.
"It feels like a high-level guild." Waiting and waiting, Jiang Baimian laughed, "We sit and others run errands."
Shang Jianyao looked up at the ceiling:
"Then let's change places?"
"Aren't you worried about going to the top and meeting the vice president named Christina? I don't know if she has come back..." Jiang Baimian easily understood what Shang Jianyao meant, and asked the question with a teasing smile.
Shang Jianyao replied seriously:
"I thought about it, I can dance with her."
"Which direction does this have to go? I mean relationship." Jiang Baimian said with great interest, "Godmother? Siblings? Confidants? Friends? Father and daughter?"
Before she could finish speaking, she saw the "senior hunter" named Odik come in from the door, looked around, and walked towards her.
Odick, who was wearing a dark black tweed coat, glanced at the metal objects in Jiang Baimian's ears, slightly amplifying the volume and said:
"I can exchange the information on which area the woman named Lin Feifei went to in exchange for your gains.
"But you need to make sure you have something of value."
"So fast?" Jiang Baimian deliberately pretended to be surprised.
She suspected that Odick used his Awakener ability to quickly complete the investigation and found the trace of Lin Feifei after he left Huangjiao Lane.
-Many things that humans cannot recall when they are awake, but can reproduce the corresponding scenes when they are dreaming.
Shang Jian Yao applauded, not knowing who he was praising.
Odick was a little stunned by Shang Jianyao's applause, and he said silently for a few seconds:
"I have my way."
Jiang Baimian thought for a while and said:
"Okay, I promise we'll find valuable leads in that room.
"If you don't believe it, we can trade in the form of a mission, guaranteed by the guild."
She proposed the latter option in order to prevent the other party from choosing it. After all, she didn't want to make the information about the organization's involvement known to everyone, which might put Lin Feifei and the others at risk.
And the reason why she believes that Odick is likely not to choose is because she judges that he is a person with certain morals and quite self-confidence based on his style of doing things and his current status.
Or, it has something to do with the price he paid.
- When the owner of "Old Clothes Shop" is dozing off, he can obviously walk away with the clothes.
In addition, if he does have the ability to make people fall asleep and affect the dream state, he was doing research at the time, and after getting the results, he wakes up the other party, and he can leave. There is no need to buy an old piece of clothes.
Odick thought for a moment and said:
"Need not.
"If it's not worth it, I'll pay the difference back."
Hearing this, Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she was not absolutely sure.
After this incident, she became more aware of Odick's character and behavior.
"Deal." Jiang Baimian laughed.
Odick nodded lightly, pointed to the door of the guild, and said:
"Go outside and talk."
Jiang Baimian got up unhurriedly, looked at Shang Jianyao secretly, and rubbed his index finger with his thumb.
Her gesture means to start the second plan:
Be prepared, and use your abilities immediately if something goes wrong!
You know, the opposite is likely to be an awakener, and his abilities are in the fields of sleep and dreams.
As for Jiang Baimian himself, his positioning is to attract firepower and become the opponent's first target to buy time for businessmen.
Although she is confident and has done a lot of homework to deal with the Awakened, at close range, she still thinks that she can't prevent it completely and needs to rely on business insights.
This is because the abilities of the Awakened are too varied, including cardiac arrest and memory erasure. Without prior information, there is no way to target them all.
After leaving the Hunter's Guild and coming to West Street, Odick lowered his hands and said casually:
"Lin Feifei carried a black travel bag and walked out of Huangjiao Alley, first walked to South Street, then to Central Square, then turned to West Street and walked into that alley."
At the end, Odick stretched out his right hand and pointed to a place diagonally opposite.
It was the entrance of an alley, and the straight-line distance from the Hunters Guild was more than forty meters. Next to it were two flamboyantly decorated bars called "Flying Birds" and "Wild Trees".
"Flying Bird Bar..." Jiang Baimian whispered the name in a low voice.
Odick thought she was asking, and added:
"That alley was called 'Wild Wolf', and it was later changed to a place similar to a bar, and there was also an underground trading market in Wild Grass City.
"It took me a lot of effort to find a few witnesses and confirm Lin Feifei's whereabouts, but it stopped there.
"The people in Wild Wolf Lane didn't get up so early, and there would be no witnesses. We can't know now whether Lin Feifei crossed the alley, went somewhere else, or entered a bar inside."
"Is that so..." Jiang Baimian thought for a moment and took out the flyer from his pocket.
"We found this under the bed in the room that Lin Feifei rented." She handed the flyer to Odick, and then paid close attention to the change in the other's expression.
If she judges that the other party is related to the organization that promotes poisonous knowledge, she will immediately let Shang Jianyao "make friends"!
After Odick took it, he began to read, and his brows gradually wrinkled:
"them… "
"Do you know?" Jiang Baimian asked with a move in his heart.
A strong person who can be promoted all the way to "Advanced Hunter" in the Hunter Guild, no matter which field he is strong in, should have a lot of knowledge in all aspects.
Odick's eyes swept back and forth between Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, and said in a deep voice:
"Such a concept, this kind of slogan, is very similar to a religious organization that has been active here in recent years."
"What's their name?" Jiang Baimian asked with the mentality of not asking Bai not asking.
Odick replied with a slightly solemn expression:
"Anti-intellectualism."
