Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 171: Rather than dancing

Views:

Jiang Baimian couldn't stand alone with dozens of guards. All she could do was stare at them to prevent anyone from finding a chance to see Shang Jianyao in a place that he couldn't see and blow his head.

Anyway, whoever dares to make a difference, she will call his "name" with a pistol.

But this is a way to cure the symptoms, not the root cause. Her thoughts turned sharply, and she felt like she was walking a tightrope above the abyss.

That is, after a second or two, Jiang Baimian laughed, and with a helpless tone, he said loudly:

"My companion has always had problems with his brain and has been seeing a psychiatrist for a long time.

"Simply put, he's mentally ill, a lunatic.

"We went to Weed City this time to save money through missions so that he could find a better doctor.

"Everyone, I'm not joking, he really dares to press down, don't gamble his life on the guts of a lunatic.

"What can't a madman do? He dares to kill himself!"

Originally, Zhao Zhengqi and others had good looks when they met with businessmen. They were not too young, and their companions were very beautiful. They felt that he should not be a ruthless character who would risk his life and die with everyone in the council hall. He was considering whether to impose some The pressure caused him to be in a mess, revealing his flaws, but in the end he heard such words.

Their hearts were tense, and their full plans came to an abrupt end.

This is not to say that they completely believed Jiang Baimian's words, but this kind of thing was just in case.

What if this is really a lunatic, really a lunatic

He doesn't want to live, and others don't want to die!

At this time, Odick recalled the various performances of Shang Jianyao. Although he was reluctant to admit it, he still reminded him:

"There might be something wrong with his brain.

"It's also the first time we've worked together, and I thought he was abnormal before."

The reason why Odick told this fact was because he was worried that the nobles were too reckless, which would intensify the contradiction, causing everyone to be sent to the sky by "little mushrooms" together.

For such an evaluation, Shang Jianyao not only did not feel insulted, but also nodded with a smile:

"Yes, I have a doctor's certificate, and I can show it to you later."

While speaking, his eyes moved back and forth on the mechanical monk Jing Nian and the "senior hunter" Odik.

Then, he smiled and added:

"I know you are Awakened, and there may be more here.

"But I have to tell you in advance that the forces behind me are very good at making biological prosthetics, and there will be auxiliary chips in them. Even if the range is right now, if you find a chance to control me with your abilities, my fingers may be pressed down by themselves. "

As he spoke, his smile grew brighter, and he looked around and said:

"I may be lying just now, or I may be telling the truth. You can guess if it is true."

Seeing his smile, Xu Liyan, Zhao Zhengqi, Francisco and other nobles and their bodyguards shivered inexplicably, and seemed to realize the hidden madness.

The brighter the smile, the more they felt that there were shadows under their skin.

Jing Nian, Odik and others knew that Shang Jianyao was likely to be lying, but they dared not bet that the other party must be lying.

In particular, the mechanical monk Jing Nian really had a strong sense of danger, which made him believe that the lunatic really dared to press the remote control and detonate all the explosives.

The "Six Paths of Reincarnation of Animals" he prepared was not used in the end.

As far as he is concerned, he is not too afraid of an explosion of this magnitude. Even if the mechanical body will definitely be destroyed, as long as the core components under heavy protection can still survive, it will be a good ten days and a half months. monk.

And Jiang Baimian, who was behind Shang Jianyao, resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and said "hoo" in his heart:

"I also learned this trick..."

Every sentence Shang Jianyao said just now is the truth, even if the mechanical monk Jing Nian has "he's mind", he can't find the problem.

The only problem is that what they can deduce from these words can only be:

Shang Jianyao has biological prostheses and auxiliary chips that can detonate explosives under control!

The one who really has biological prostheses and auxiliary chips is Jiang Baimian.

In a sense, this belongs to the large-scale "reasoning clown" who use the abilities of the Awakened.

Seeing that everyone present seemed to be shocked, the mechanical monk Jing Nian said in an electronically synthesized voice:

"Namo Anuttarasamyaksabodhi, why is the donor doing this?"

"Guess." Shang Jianyao said with a relaxed smile.

Really crazy... Xu Liyan and Zhao Zhengqi completely believed Jiang Baimian's previous rhetoric.

This kind of madness, this kind of nervousness, can't be acted out!

At this time, Jiang Baimian coughed, preventing Shang Jianyao from continuing to "provocate" Zen Master Jing Nian.

You must know that every mechanical monk has inverse scales, and once they are touched, they will go mad on the spot.

If Shang Jianyao disagrees and angers Zen Master Jing Nian, then he will kill all the nobles first, then there will be no hostages!

Before Shang Jianyao could speak, Jiang Baimian said to the guard outside the door:

"The first request, close the door."

After closing the door, the guards outside could not determine the exact location of Shang Jianyao, so they did not dare to shoot rashly, which would suddenly reduce her defense pressure.

As soon as she finished speaking, Shang Jianyao looked at Xu Liyan and others, and expressed doubts in a nasal voice:

"Um-?"

Xu Liyan swallowed his saliva and shouted loudly:

"close!

"Close the door!"

The guards obeyed the order, separated a few people, and slowly closed the door of the noble council hall.

Shang Jianyao walked towards the long table step by step, holding the explosives and the pistol.

"Sit, all sit, there is something to discuss." He warmly invited the aristocratic councilors who were shrinking in different places.

Walking on his side, helping him monitor Odick, the mechanical monk Jing Nian, and Jiang Baimian, who was moving at the gate, had only one comment:

It's up!

She even wondered if the guy was really short circuited.

"No, no, it's fine, we can hear you talking." Zhao Zhengqi squeezed out a smile and responded to Shang Jianyao's invitation.

Xu Liyan took the opportunity to say:

"Anything is negotiable.

"I want weapons, ammunition, food, gold, oil, coal, marijuana, no problem!"

He is still young, he has only been the city lord for a few years, and he does not want to see the ancestors now.

Shang Jianyao slowly sat down on the chair at the bottom of the long table and said embarrassingly:

"I'm thinking how much you're going to be blown to pieces when I flip the switch.

"Sit, come and sit down, you can't let others call me rude, right?"

Seeing his insistence, Merrich at the bottom of the table did not dare to object any more, he stepped out a little, got up and sat down.

With him as an example, Zhao Zhengqi and others walked to the discussion table one after another and took their seats.

Their bodyguards and entourage stood behind them, staring intently at Shang Jianyao's fingers.

"You, can you say your request now?" Xu Liyan tried his best to lower his posture.

Shang Jianyao smiled and looked around:

"After driving back the homeless in the wilderness, everyone donated food and medical supplies that were not for their own use, gathered the remaining people, rescued the citizens of this city, and restored the stability and vitality of the Weed City as soon as possible."

This requirement... Is he the lord of Weed City, or am I the lord of Weed City? Xu Liyan almost doubted his ears.

This makes Zhao Zhengqi and others more and more believe that this is a lunatic.

On the other hand, Odick looked at Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian thoughtfully, and no longer had the idea of taking the risk of using the ability "forced to sleep".

After a few seconds of silence, Xu Liyan asked:

"Does the target of relief include those who are wandering in the wilderness?"

Shang Jianyao replied without hesitation:

"include."

When all the nobles were a little stunned, Jiang Baimian helped and added:

"Gather them up, ask them separately, and swap places with the slaves in your manor who have killed people.

"With so many people dead, whether it's the City Defense Army or the City Lord Guard, they definitely need to be replenished."

Xu Liyan's eyes moved slightly when he heard it, and he turned to ask:

"Any other requests?"

"Yes." Shang Jianyao nodded with a smile.

This answer made Zhao Zhengqi and others relieved.

They didn't believe that anyone could give up their lives to save the refugees and drag the nobles to die together. This must be an incidental request.

In the final analysis, it must be for itself.

"Well... finish this thing first, and then talk about the rest." Shang Jianyao smiled and looked at the fat Zhao Zhengqi, "start with you, call your confidant."

Before Zhao Zhengqi could speak, he smiled and asked a question:

"If I said to them 'this guy is a jerk, I'm going to blow his head, and if you choose to help him, then I'll flip the switch', what do you think they'll do?"

Facing that smiling face, Zhao Zhengqi swallowed his saliva with difficulty:

"You can hear what I say, I'm sure I won't dare to play tricks."

He didn't even think about burying a hole in his words. If this one can't be done well, if it is heard, the conflict will intensify immediately.

He was going to use an open and honest approach.

Soon, Zhao Zhengqi took out his mobile phone, called his confidant, and instructed him one by one according to what Shang Jianyao had just said.

The whole process was flawless.

However, his confidant was outside, and he knew that he was threatened, so he would definitely not do it immediately, and he would have to wait and see for a while.

After letting the noble councilors present call in turn, Shang Jianyao slowly stood up and said:

"The second requires everyone to be different, we come one by one."

He cautiously retreated to the inner corner away from the long table area, and said loudly to the mechanical monk:

"Zen master, you go first."

Jing Nianyi was bold and had nothing to give up. He walked over without thinking.

At this time, Shang Jianyao handed the black remote control to Jiang Baimian, and said to everyone with a smile:

"She also has a biological prosthesis."

Jiang Baimian cooperated to let the arc jump out between his left fingers.

The iron-clad facts made Xu Liyan and others extremely fortunate that they were not reckless and took no risks just now.

After controlling the field, Shang Jianyao looked at Jing Nian, a mechanical monk who was almost two meters tall, stared at his flashing red eyes, and asked in a low voice:

"Zen master, do you know Master Jingfa?"

In this way, the nobles in the long table area could not hear what was said here.

"He's my junior brother." Jing Nian replied calmly.

Shang Jian Yao immediately said:

"look:

"I know the Master of the Pure Law, and I have heard him teach about the Buddhadharma;

"I also helped prevent the city lord from self-destruction, so that your mission could be completed;

"so… "

The red light flashing in Jingnian's electronic prosthetic eye suddenly accelerated, and quickly returned to normal.

He proclaimed the Buddha's name in a low voice and said in an electronically synthesized voice:

"Since you are an ally of the sect, the poor monk is willing to help you."

"Thank you Zen master." Shang Jianyao stretched out his hand again and shook Jing Nian, "You can go back."

After watching Jing Nian return to Xu Liyan's side, he said loudly to Odyk:

"Mr. Ou, you are the second."

The guards waited for nearly twenty minutes outside the nobility council hall, and finally saw the door slowly open.

Shang Jianyao, Xu Liyan, Zhao Zhengqi, Francisco and the others came out, all smiling.

Zhao Zhengqi looked around, found his confidant, and laughed:

"The misunderstanding is resolved, just follow the instructions just now.

"My brother's business is mine!"

The guards were stunned, and Jiang Baimian, who was following behind, took the opportunity to take out a photo of Wei Yu and the others:

"Look around to see if there are these three people."

Since it was going to be framed, the remaining members of the "Old Tune Team" must have sneaked into the City Lord's Mansion.

Zhao Mansion, in a certain study.

Zhao Yixue, the second son of the Zhao family, was standing by the window, holding a mobile phone and talking to someone.

"Wait and listen, the booming sound will be the salute for you to become the city lord." On the other end of the phone, a slightly hoarse voice said with a smile.

"Explosion? What about my dad and my brother?" Zhao Yixue was quite stunned.

The "priest" on the other end of the phone chuckled lightly:

"Of course we went to the West Sky together.

"Think about it, if they were still there, even without Xu Liyan and other nobles, you wouldn't be the city lord.

"I know, you can't do it, no, I'll do it for you, no thanks.

"Don't worry, with the support of the 'First City', the rest will not be able to make waves."

While Zhao Yixue was silent, his confidant walked into the study, leaned into his ear, and reported the situation.

On the other end of the phone, "Father" asked with a smile:

"How? Did you hear the explosion?"

Zhao Yixue replied with a rather strange expression:

"No explosions...

"They, they're dancing in the chamber now..."

"Dancing?" "Father" asked.

Then, he didn't speak for a long time.
