Chapter 148: Self-inflicted sin

Views:

"Ah? What did you say?"

It wasn't Jiang Baimian who touched his ears and asked, but Shang Jianyao.

This made Bai Chen's body froze for a moment, and then she pushed open the door and walked in without speaking.

At the same time, Jiang Baimian turned his head sideways and glared at Shang Jianyao.

"Dub for you." Shang Jianyao said sincerely.

"Although I really didn't hear what Xiaobai said, I can guess that, you, you have destroyed the atmosphere and feeling!" Jiang Baimian was heartbroken, "What a great opportunity to cultivate a sense of teamwork! "

While speaking, she opened the door and entered the house.

After closing the door, her expression changed, and she looked at Shang Jianyao with a smile:

"Maybe you also missed the chance to be slept by Xiaobai.

"In that situation just now, if you said something warm or heroic, she might have asked me to change the room as soon as she was moved."

Shang Jianyao shook his head solemnly:

"Not suitable."

"Yo, do you still know this?" Jiang Baimian looked up and down at Shang Jianyao.

Shang Jianyao replied seriously:

"She doesn't like dancing and we don't fit."

"..." Jiang Baimian didn't know for a while whether Shang Jianyao was joking, or whether he thought so from the bottom of his heart.

She had no choice but to use his spear to attack his shield:

"I thought you would say that a lover will only influence you to save all mankind."

"The relationship between a sleep and a lover is different." Shang Jianyao explained in a tone that you can't understand.

"... The points are quite clear." Jiang Baimian felt that he could no longer gain the upper hand on such a topic, and quickly turned to say, "Is the effect of your 'reasoning clown' stronger than before? Eugene After becoming your 'slave', you are afraid of being like that, just like you have been trained for a long time. Also, your routine seems to be no longer limited to 'whatever you are, how am I', no longer Just looking for common ground?"

"It can be done before, but it must be a fact that is closely related to the goal and has already happened. Different facts will lead to different inference results, which may not be biased towards me. You have to make a choice or create it on your own initiative." Shang Jianyao answered first: The latter question.

For the previous one, his answer was:

"I don't know why Eugene became like that.

"When used against bodyguards and drivers, it is not so powerful."

Jiang Baimian sat on the lower bunk and thought:

"Yes, you used it three times tonight, and the previous effect was not so exaggerated.

"Perhaps... the effect of the 'reasoning clown' is also related to the cognition of the target itself

"Eugene has captured slaves and trained them for a long time. In his heart, he must have a 'standard' for truly qualified slaves. When he thinks he is your slave, he begins to use this 'standard' to regulate his own. Behavior, as soon as I see you, I tremble, tremble, and dare not resist

"If it was someone else, even if they were your slaves, they wouldn't be so exaggerated, because they don't know what a qualified slave would look like, and they can't be lifelike in details, only to a lower degree. obey."

Shang Jianyao thought about it and said:

"possible."

Jiang Baimian gave an "um" and continued:

"This is equivalent to adding a self-hypnosis after being influenced by the 'reasoning clown', so the effect is surprisingly good."

Having said this, she laughed:

"In a sense, it's called self-inflicted sin.

"You said, will Eugene never train a slave that completely meets his 'standard' in his life, and in the end, the most perfect slave that meets his 'standard' turns out to be himself

"Interesting, really interesting..."

"Life is always full of a sense of destiny, at this moment..." Shang Jianyao began to switch to a magnetic broadcasting tune.

"Stop, stop talking!" Jiang Baimian interrupted him immediately to avoid any unlucky words.

Shang Jianyao sat down on the stool in front of the table with regret.

After two seconds, he suddenly said:

"Eugene mainly made slaves, so who bought slaves?"

Jiang Baimian sighed:

"I've already thought about this, don't ask, wait for Xiaobai to say it himself.

"It might have something to do with why she wants to do genetic modification..."

After a while of silence, Jiang Baimian looked at Shang Jianyao and said in a serious tone:

"Remember what to do?"

"Replay. Every time you complete a task, you must replay." Shang Jianyao replied skillfully.

"That's right." Jiang Baimian's brows and eyes widened, "You think about it from the beginning, do you think there are any omissions left now that can be easily traced?"

Shang Jianyao thought about it and said:

"The bodyguard who was initially influenced by 'The Reasoning Clown'.

"At that time, at the side entrance of the nightclub, the lights were occasionally bright and occasionally dim. Although I always wore a baseball cap, he was much shorter than me, at most 1.7 meters. It is not ruled out that he saw my appearance.

"In retrospect, he will also find that he has been influenced, and let my 'reasoning clown' ability be exposed to a certain extent."

Jiang Baimian nodded:

"That's right."

She immediately laughed:

"He was the one I aimed at the first few shots when I shot to create chaos. He should be dead."

When Shang Jianyao had a conversation with the bodyguard, she remembered the other person's appearance and characteristics.

"It's Eugene, those bodyguards are quite professional, and they always block his body, so I can't aim at a suitable position, otherwise I don't have to be so troublesome." After Jiang Baimian sighed, he said to Shang Jian Yao, "continue."

According to the process, Shang Jianyao picks up the details:

"It's too easy to draw attention when we run to the parking lot and become suspicious after the fact."

"We run so fast, we still wear baseball caps, and there are not many street lights, so no one can see our appearance clearly." Jiang Baimian laughed, "When running, I deliberately buried my lower back. Low, which can cause eyewitnesses to create visual errors and give false height descriptions."

"Isn't it to win me?" Shang Jianyao was a little surprised.

In order not to be overtaken by Jiang Baimian, he also switched to a similar running posture, which was faster.

"Do you think I'm mentally ill too?" Jiang Baimian replied angrily, "At that time, our clothes were inside and outside, and the image features basically didn't match the daytime."

As for when they were in a nightclub, under that kind of lighting, in that kind of environment, they didn't dance with anyone and kept their baseball caps on. It was impossible for them to see their faces. At most, there were two people who could be remembered.

Shang Jianyao continued:

"Then there was the driver, but there were no lights in the parking lot, and I deliberately kept a certain distance from him. He shouldn't be able to see my appearance, but it might expose my 'reasoning clown' ability.

"I told him that there were more than one traitor among the bodyguards. When those bodyguards found him still in the parking lot and passed by aggressively, under stress, he was likely to shoot, triggering a new round of fighting..."

"It's handled well. The ability to be exposed will be exposed, as long as it doesn't contact you." Jiang Baimian boasted and said, "The driver was hiding too fast, I couldn't lock him, or else I could be on the spot. Clear."

She turned to ask:

"When you were hiding in the car, were you not afraid that Eugene was surrounded by Awakened people, or that he was an Awakened person himself. Did you sense someone in the car in advance?"

At that time, the situation was urgent. Since Shang Jianyao was confident, she didn't ask any more questions.

Shang Jianyao is quite calm:

"Awakened people should be able to make some disguise on themselves to prevent themselves from being sensed by other awakened people."

"Is it directly seen, or heard footsteps?" Jiang Baimian asked with a research spirit.

"The disguise will fail. As long as the other party can determine your existence through the five senses, the disguise will fail." Shang Jianyao answered truthfully.

"It's amazing..." Jiang Baimian commented.

She didn't ask Eugene's group what would happen if they could sense electrical signals, because it was almost impossible.

On the lime soil, genetic improvement can be carried out stably. Only two “Pangu creatures” and “White Knights” can produce the corresponding stock solution. Those who can do genetic modification and have a high success rate, only the “Pangu creatures” are left. .

The genetic modification that can sense electrical signals belongs to the secret development project of "Panga", and the technology is not even mature, and it is completely fine to say that it is unique.

Of course, Jiang Baimian didn't dare to guarantee this. She wasn't sure if there was any similar technology in a relatively mysterious place like the "Eighth Research Institute".

Shang Jianyao continued to resume the game. He skipped the part about why he didn't shoot Eugene as soon as he got in the car, and talked about the aftermath:

"The traces that may have been left on the car were all blown up by you...

"On the way back, you also kept your distance from us, so as not to let the people you meet think that there are three people in our party...

"Where there is no surveillance, we have disguised ourselves, and it is difficult for witnesses to link us to what is going on there..."

Jiang Baimian listened quietly and nodded lightly:

"It's almost like that. The biggest problem is that you didn't shoot Eugene directly, but tried to catch him alive, which brought a lot of variables and made things more complicated. Fortunately, there were not many surprises, and they were all solved."

After the criticism, Jiang Baimian looked at Shang Jianyao suspiciously and said:

"In addition to wanting to catch a living, is there any other purpose?"

Shang Jianyao was silent for a while and said:

"I want to scare him."

"..." Jiang Baimian didn't know where to start.

At this moment, there were noises coming from everywhere.

Jiang Baimian got up immediately, walked to the table, and looked out the window.

At this time, there was no power outage yet, and street lights were on on every street, allowing Jiang Baimian to see two or three city defense troops carrying submachine guns and wearing olive uniforms entering the alley ahead and asking passersby.

The lights in the direction of the city gate are also rushing into the sky, and it seems that there are many people there, and the noise is like boiling.

"Eugene's slave-hunting team wants to go into the city, hunt down the murderer and save the boss?" Jiang Baimian nodded thoughtfully.

This is her preliminary judgment based on the current situation.

Then, she laughed:

"It's still quite noisy."
