Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 185: The essence of hiding

Views:

Viel? Jiang Baimian glanced at Bai Chen and the others in surprise.

This mission has just begun, is it about to end

Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and slapped his left palm with a look of regret.

Before he had time to play, the goal ran out on his own!

- They all have learned Honghe language, even Bai Chen, because of the environment, has mastered some, although their levels are different, but at least the basic listening, speaking, reading and writing are still no problem.

At this time, Viel smiled and answered the question of Bishop Renato:

"I've been in the ventilation duct.

"You don't understand the essence of hiding, choose a place and stay still, and I will change the position according to the situation: if you come, I will go to another place, if you leave, I will return.

"The only problem is, learn to go around in circles and not let you hear the crawling."

Renato, who was wearing a mask, was silent for a few seconds and said:

"You don't look like you've been hungry for three days."

"I prepared food in advance." Viel smiled proudly. "After I go to the farthest place from you, I can climb to the bathroom, drink some tap water, and go to the toilet."

He waved his arm and said:

"This is the real hiding. We obviously live in one place, but it seems like we are in two different worlds."

"You're not wearing a mask." Shang Jianyao pointed out suddenly.

He also used the Red River language.

The short Vielle glanced at the tall "monkey":

"I have mastered a full set of disguise skills, and you won't know me if you meet me later."

"Your characteristics are too obvious." Shang Jianyao reminded sincerely.

The smile on Vielle's face disappeared.

In just a second or two, he regained his previous expression:

"There is nothing irreparable."

"Yes." Shang Jianyao pointed at himself, "I can't be a dwarf."

Vielle narrowed his eyes and suggested with a smile:

"You can break your legs."

Long Yuehong's mouth moved slightly, as if watching two children quarrel. Jiang Baimian didn't want the two to continue to fight, so he coughed twice, signaling Bai Chen to interrupt.

Bai Chen understood her thoughts, took two steps forward, and said to the Bishop of the Vigilant Sect, Renato:

"Viel has been found, our mission is over?"

She didn't use the phrase "Ville was out", emphasizing that it was "found".

Anyway, this is what happened after they took over the task, no credit, and a little hard work.

Moreover, Renato might entrust them to investigate the real hiding situation of Vielle these days.

Renato raised his hand and touched the mask on his face:

"Yes, mission accomplished.

"But in this case, the reward won't be much."

"It doesn't matter, it's enough to fulfill the previous promise, and the story of the DiMarco family is the last payment." Jiang Baimian interjected in the tone that I like listening to stories.

Being able to have a relationship with the Vigilant Sect will definitely help the "Old Tune Group"'s journey to the Redstone Collection.

Bai Chen immediately said "um", indicating that the member meant his own thoughts.

"You guys are honest, fair, and humble, and it makes me feel like I'm seeing the second Captain Han." Renato spoke highly of the "Old Tune Group"'s behavior of not obsessing over compensation.

"Captain Han? The one from the police station?" Jiang Baimian was quite curious about the last half of the sentence.

Renato nodded:

"Yes, he has most of the chivalrous virtues of the Old World.

"If not, it is simply because he is a 'senior hunter' and does not believe in the Lord, so he will not always hide, and the townspeople will not unanimously agree to invite him to be a sheriff."

"Unbelievable!" Shang Jianyao always said when he had something to say.

Long Yuehong can fully guess which aspect he is feeling, because he also has a similar idea:

A veteran relic hunter who was a wanderer turned out to possess most of the knightly virtues of the old world: humility, mercy, justice, honesty, valor...

This is like saying that the mechanical monks are very affectionate, crazy for love, and live up to the Tathagata.

Even the more senior relic hunter, Bai Chen, who came from the same wilderness wanderer, thought it was absurd and funny.

She is already considered a person with a higher moral bottom line in this group, but she is still a long way from those virtues.

When she asks herself, she has "compassion", and it has to be a specific object, and "heroic" hard work can barely reach.

"There will always be some exceptions in this world." Renato didn't argue about this issue. "Even if Han Wanghuo's performance is disguised, as long as he can keep disguising, he is a real knight."

"Well." Jiang Baimian agreed.

She is more interested in another point:

Although there are quite a few people who speak Huitu language here, they seem to be more deeply influenced by the Honghe culture.

Of course, after the destruction of the old world and the migration of large numbers of people, the two cultures were left in fragments in many places, and then blended together.

Renato glanced at Viel, who was much shorter than himself:

"You go to the altar of the Lord to pray and complete this Mass."

"Yes, Your Excellency." Viel jumped slightly towards the exit.

When passing by Shang Jian Yao, he suddenly turned his head and made a face.

After watching the half-eldest child go away, Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and gave his left palm:

"pity… "

Jiang Baimian rolled his eyes covertly.

She knew that Shang Jianyao was regretting that she was wearing a mask and couldn't make a face.

Renato didn't ask Shang Jianyao what the pity was, he pointed to the front, and turned to gray language:

"The largest arms dealer in the Redstone Collection is here."

"Mr. Dimarco?" Jiang Baimian was a little excited.

Does this mean they can meet the honorary mayor who never left the underground shelter

Even if you meet over an electronic product, that's fine.

As long as you can communicate, you can ask the Dimarco family what they know about the destruction of the old world!

"Yes, strictly speaking, it's Mr. DiMarco, but Mr. Carl, one of his three housekeepers, is actually in charge." Renato, who was wearing a black cloak, explained, "I'll introduce you to you later."

"Okay, okay!" Jiang Baimian learned Long Yuehong's mantra.

"She's so excited." Shang Jianyao said to Long Yuehong "quietly".

"Remove it, change it to a little." Jiang Baimian replied.

Hearing their conversation, Renato glanced sideways at Bai Chen, as if to say that it was really hard to lead such a group of immature and stable teammates.

Bai Chen was embarrassed to tell him that the leader of the team was the one who took the lead.

When you can't change Shang Jianyao, you can only join him.

And mental illness has always been a chronic disease.

After going out of this corridor and walking around for a few minutes, Shang Jianyao and the others saw another elevator hall.

There are three heavy-looking gray-black elevators, and two small LCD screens are embedded in the partition area.

Renato took a few steps forward, pressed a button, and waited patiently.

After a while, the LCD screen on the left floated, reflecting a middle-aged and elderly man.

He was wearing an old-world black dress with a neat bow tie, and his black hair was slightly grey, but it was neatly combed back.

His facial features are typical of the Red River people, his eyes are light blue, and although his appearance is ordinary, he has an indescribable temperament.

Speaking of noble and elegant, it certainly can't be said, but his existence makes DiMarco, the owner of the "underground ark", feel a little bit in this regard.

"Just in time, Mr. Carl, I have a few friends who want to meet you and talk about business." Renato wanted to ask the person on the opposite side of the screen to pass the message, but it turned out that it was the housekeeper Carl who was on duty today.

This time, he used the Red River language again.

Through the camera, Carl glanced at the four people wearing masks behind Renato:

"Ask them to meet at my office tomorrow morning between nine and ten.

"I'm still busy with the task that Mr.

Bai Chen glanced at Jiang Baimian and nodded to Renato.

"Okay." Renato agreed.

Carl turned to ask:

"Is this Mass over?"

"It's over." Renato's tone was relaxed.

"The vigilance will last forever." Carl crossed his hands, put them on his chest, and took a step back.

He added politely:

"See you tomorrow."

When the picture on the LCD screen disappeared, Renato turned to Bai Chen and said:

"Mr. Carl's office is on the fifth floor of the Redstone Collection, with a sign 'Visa Trading Company'."

"Visa? Why is it called this name?" When Jiang Baimian arrived in a new place, he always looked like a curious baby.

"It's the name of Mr. DiMarco's grandfather," Renato explained.

Jiang Baimian immediately looked at the elevator and the LCD screen:

"Are these things left over from the old world?"

"The framework is that after the transformation of the 'Mechanical Paradise', some old and bad things were replaced." Renato knows this very well, after all, he needs to go through the church he presides to enter the ground.

Jiang Baimian is not surprised at all about the cooperation between the Dimarco family and "Mechanical Paradise", because this is an important smuggling node, and there are many resources that "Mechanical Paradise" needs. Moreover, compared to Weed City, here Into Haiti, which is closer to the south, is where the "mechanical paradise" is located.

She asked curiously:

"Humans can't enter the 'underground ark', but robots can?"

"Yes, but it must be non-artificial intelligence and unarmed." Renato said casually, "At that time, 'Mechanical Paradise' set up a small non-artificial intelligence engineering team, um... Mr. DiMarco should also have a special training team inside. With the combination of the two talents, the renovation and transformation of the 'underground ark' was completed in a short time. When the engineering team left, the corresponding data and materials were also destroyed. "

While speaking, they returned to the fortress-like church on the ground.

Saying goodbye to Renato and getting into the jeep, Jiang Baimian who sat in the passenger seat suddenly smiled and said:

"Do you think that Viel is telling the truth?"

Bai Chen, who was driving, replied quite calmly:

"At least part of it lied."
