Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 150: Double effect

Views:

The businessman became excited at a moment's notice:

"How can Odick be in charge of asking Bai Chen?"

In the dark room, Jiang Baimian walked to the window, looked at the silent alley, and said with a smile:

"It takes initiative to create conditions.

"You think, Xiaobai is very different from the attackers in terms of his image characteristics and weapons he is good at, and he is a relic hunter with no background, so he is unlikely to have strong support, and he is on the list of suspects. Definitely at the bottom of the list.

"It can even be said that apart from having a grudge against Eugene, she happened to have a chance encounter before the other party's accident, and there is nothing to doubt it.

"Such people are often not given much attention in the scope of incidental investigation. We can wait for a while until the representatives of the City Defense Army and the Eugene gang have dispersed to investigate those people and forces that are more suspected, let the small Bai went to the Hunter Guild and took the initiative to take over the task of finding her to assist in the investigation, showing his magnanimity.

"Then, she has to emphasize that she only trusts the Hunter Guild and only accepts questions within the Guild.

"In other places, such a request will definitely not be met, but Weed City is different. The Hunter Guild and the City Lord's Mansion are to some extent integrated. There is no essential difference between being questioned at the Hunter Guild and being questioned at the City Defense Army Headquarters. .

"At the same time, let Xiaobai emphasize that she is still running around for a living, and there are still tasks that have not been completed, and the time is very limited, so as to urge the Hunter Guild to send someone to ask herself as soon as possible and start an investigation.

"This point, anyone who has been a ruin hunter can understand.

"Then, under the premise that Xiaobai is not taken seriously, and the City Defense Army and Eugene's gang can't find suitable personnel for a while, the Hunter Guild will select a person who is good at interrogation and investigation from among the direct line or trusted enough hunters. , is a matter of course.”

After listening carefully, Shang Jianyao nodded:

"It doesn't guarantee that Odick is in charge of Bai Chen."

In the eyes of the Hunter Guild, a strong person who can accumulate credit points to the "senior hunter" level is a person with enough credit to cooperate with.

"It's definitely not guaranteed, it can only be said that the possibility is very high." Jiang Baimian smiled again, "Have you noticed that Odick has a tendency to abuse his abilities? This abuse does not mean that it is not necessary on occasions, right? Necessary people use, but, he seems to be very accustomed to using the corresponding ability to solve problems, even if the problem is not big, there are other ways... "

Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian was suddenly at a loss for words, because she thought that the next plan was also more dependent on the ability of businessmen.

However, she soon found enough reasons to convince herself, and continued:

"At that time, there were many relic hunters in Hongluo Lane, and there were many people coming and going. Odik dared to put the owner of the 'Old Clothes Workshop' to sleep, so as to obtain the corresponding scene and find clues, and he was not afraid of exposure at all. This shows that He is a master of art, bold, very confident, and not afraid of accidents.

"Will such a person have some restraint when completing other tasks? In the relevant records of his hunter career, will he have a reputation for being good at finding clues, breaking through the target's psychological defense line, and getting real answers

"And will someone with such a reputation be the first thing the Hunter Guild considers when looking for a corresponding helper

"We'd better confirm that Odik is in the guild hall before letting Xiaobai come in.

"Well... there shouldn't be anyone in the local hunter guild who is good at this. Otherwise, if Liu Dazhuang was shot and killed, it would not have been Odick who took the lead."

This is the description after excluding their group.

Shang Jianyao agreed and continued:

"The only question is: whether Odik is an awakener of dreams and sleep, it has yet to be confirmed."

"So, we have to make preparations in two aspects." Jiang Baimian said with a smile, "On the one hand, it is the ability to prevent similar hypnosis and charm, and on the other hand, it is to prevent the influence of dreams."

After speaking, Jiang Baimian remembered something and asked quickly:

"Does your 'reasoning clown' stack up?"

This is the core of the problem.

Shang Jianyao thought for a while and said:

"I haven't tried it. It's theoretically possible, but the different effects can't contradict each other."

"Then I'll try it first." Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief.

Shang Jianyao thought for a while and asked again:

"What if it's the Awakener ability related to memory?"

He seems to have encountered one before.

"Then there's no help, you can't manipulate memory." Jiang Baimian spread his hands, "If this is the case, Xiaobai's real memory is touched, and the corresponding 'reasoning clown' effect will be lifted, um, let her be the first Time for help, we rushed in to take her and Xiaohong out, and drove out of Weed City, and this requires driving the jeep to the nearest parking place to the Hunter Guild in advance, and put all the supplies on it."

This is the worst plan.

At that time, although Jiang Baimian made two requests to Shang Jianyao, so that he could not affect the follow-up tasks, she still did not stop her when she really started to act.

- Her original plan was to collect information first, and wait a few days before starting. In that case, the possibility of suspecting Bai Chen would be even lower. She can even deliberately leave clues in the attack to frame the hostile forces of Eugene's gang.

Who knows, Shang Jianyao's action is terrifyingly strong.

She had to think: After the big deal goes out of the city, change the car, change the image and make a good disguise before coming in.

With the current situation of Weed City being mixed, this is not whimsical.

All in all, helping Bai Chen out is more important than completing the task!

It's not like the company has no one else available here, and it doesn't have to be an "old-fashioned group" to do things.

Finally, Jiang Baimian concluded:

"Nothing has a 100% chance of success.

"The most important thing is to be prepared for failure."

When the sky was a little brighter, Bai Chen took the initiative to knock on the door and express his thoughts:

"It's better for me and Long Yuehong to be missing for a while.

"This will not affect you and Shang Jianyao. You can continue to investigate the reasons for the disappearance of Lei Yunsong and his group."

It's a big deal for them to stay here with Aunt Nan for a week or two, maybe even shorter.

"I have also considered this method, but now there is a better solution." Jiang Baimian responded with a smile.

She talked about her method, but not in such detail, so as not to affect the "reasoning clown" effect in the future.

Bai Chen thought for a while and said:

"You can try it."

Long Yuehong is a little worried:

"Would it be too risky?"

"It can only be said that there is one thing, and then you have to agree with Aunt Nan and the others." Jiang Baimian did not forcefully persuade him, but looked at Bai Chen and said, "It is up to you to decide which one to choose. Stay for a while, no matter which plan you use, it doesn't make much difference to me and Shang Jianyao, the important thing is your own thoughts."

Bai Chen fell into deep thought, and after a while he said:

"It's not known how Eugene's 'disappearance' will ferment.

"If the city is blocked and house-to-house searches are carried out, it would be dangerous to hide here. It's better to cross the road as soon as possible, clear the suspects, and go to the shore to watch the play."

"Okay." Long Yuehong's thoughts boiled for a while, and finally made a choice.

Jiang Baimian glanced at him with a smile:

"Yes, the courage is getting bigger and bigger.

"Let's go out first, so as not to interfere."

Soon only Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen were left in the room.

"Let's start." Bai Chen said calmly.

Shang Jianyao had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes suddenly became dark:

"look:

"Weed City has a lot of relic hunter combinations that you don't know;

"I and Jiang Baimian are also a group of relic hunters;

"so… "

Bai Chen's eyes gradually became strange, as if wondering why he was in this room.

She looked at Shang Jianyao vigilantly and said:

"What do you want to say?"

Shang Jianyao entered the role he expected in advance, and asked with a smile:

"How much?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Chen suddenly tightened his thighs and pulled out his right foot.

Shang Jianyao seems to have been paying attention to this aspect, and turned sideways in time to avoid the kick.

"Don't have another time." Bai Chen warned, ready to open the door and walk out of this place.

At this moment, Shang Jianyao shouted:

"Wait a minute!"

Bai Chen looked back at him, his eyes were very bad, it seemed that as long as he said something wrong, he would draw a gun and shoot.

Shang Jianyao took out a note paper and folded it into a small star in Bai Chen's puzzled eyes.

Then, his eyes became deep again:

"I am a relic hunter, and you are also a relic hunter.

"I live here with Aunt Nan, and you also live with Aunt Nan.

"I have a folded star in my pocket, so..."

While speaking, he showed his hunter badge and put the folded paper star into his pocket in front of Bai Chen.

And this time, his "reasoning clown" has half more conditions than before to guide the result.

Bai Chen was in a trance, and said in a slightly dreamy tone:

"I also have a folded star in my pocket."

Shang Jian Yao immediately smiled:

"It's an important prop; it's mysterious and involves supernatural powers; you can't touch it right now, you can't touch it...

"If someone interrogates you, you reach out every minute to find it.

"When you find it, it will remind you that you are in a dream."

"Crazy!" Bai Chen glanced at him suspiciously, scolded, turned and walked back to his and Long Yuehong's room.

After more than ten seconds, Long Yuehong came to the door and asked:

"Success?"

He was at the entrance of the stairs with Jiang Baimian just now.

"That's right." Shang Jianyao said with a smile.

When Bai Chen no longer remembered that they were companions, the corresponding memory was temporarily hidden, including the part where they executed Eugene.

She will only remember all the facts that contradict the results of her reasoning.

Long Yuehong breathed a sigh of relief and turned to ask:

"Is it my turn?"

"You don't need to." Shang Jianyao replied seriously.

Long Yuehong suddenly felt a strong sense of unease:

"Have you already used it on me?"

He remembered that the last time he dealt with Joe Chu.

"Don't tease Xiaohong!" Jiang Baimian stopped Shang Jianyao from answering, and explained to Long Yuehong briefly, "You are now the link between us and Xiaobai, if you forget, how can we make her follow Planning to act? When the plan is on the right track, Shang Jianyao will find opportunities to use his abilities against you."

"Okay." Long Yuehong understood.
