Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 196: Alerter

Views:

Hearing Jiang Baimian's words, Shang Jianyao suddenly became silent.

After a few seconds, he suddenly smiled and said:

"But they won't save all mankind."

Jiang Baimian was stunned for a moment, then inexplicably relieved, followed with a smile:

"Yeah, only on our own, like that song you always play."

Compared with the monster in the laboratory in the ruins of Swamp No. 1, the gaze just now was even more unimaginable, completely surpassing her cognition, causing her mood to fluctuate and panic for a while.

After all, the knowledge she has learned and the life she has experienced have made her believe in science more, believing that everything can be analyzed, understood, assumed, verified, mastered and reproduced. Existence, it is just a more powerful deformed creature.

The experience just now subverted her worldview a bit.

However, after chatting with Shang Jianyao, she got rid of this emotion and cheered up again:

Even if there are real people and gods, they can't see them saving all mankind. So, what do they have to do with themselves

Moreover, for those who are obsessed with age, why can't they analyze, understand, assume, verify, master and reproduce

Jiang Baimian knew that this kind of thinking carried a spirit of self-deception, but under the current circumstances, this was the best way to help her recover as soon as possible.

In the short silence, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Buzz and a middle-aged man in a black burqa quickly entered Bishop Renato's room.

Church guards with various weapons were scattered in the corridor, blocking the place.

"I'm the 'warning person' Song He." The middle-aged man in the black burqa glanced at Bishop Renato, who was restrained by Shang Jianyao, and introduced himself.

In the red stone set where masks are popular, he rarely does not disguise. He is a gray-earth race, with slightly sparse eyebrows, a little gray on the temples, and no wrinkles on his face, making it impossible to judge his specific age.

At first glance, Jiang Baimian first remembered the other party's quite righteous Chinese character face and cleanly shaved beard.

"Warning?" she asked suspiciously.

It sounds like a certain rank within the sect of vigilance.

"Clergy directly under the bishop, responsible for daily missionary and evangelism." Song He explained briefly.

Jiang Baimian did not ask more:

"Look to see if it's Bishop Renato."

Considering the existence of Buzz and others, their dialogue was in Honghe language to show candor.

Song He walked to Shang Jianyao's side, squatted down, and looked at the "unintentional" who was trying to raise his head, his expression became more and more solemn.

After a few seconds, he sighed:

"It's the bishop.

"He's suffering from 'heartless disease'."

He immediately ordered the church guards outside the door to bring in handcuffs, ropes and other items, and tied the struggling "Mindless" Renato tightly.

After doing this, he turned around and said to Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian:

"Please wait a moment for the two of you. I must report the bishop's situation immediately."

"Okay." Jiang Baimian expressed his understanding.

Song He immediately walked to the door and said with a serious expression:

"Everyone stays here, can't leave, can't tell others about the bishop's illness."

"Yes, alerter." The church guards responded respectfully.

After watching Song He leave, Jiang Baimian turned to Baz and said:

"You seem to be very convinced of Song Alerter?"

"Well." Buzz nodded, "He was one of the first warning people to come to the Redstone Set to preach."

"How old is he?" Jiang Baimian immediately noticed a problem.

From the outside, Song He's age is completely inconsistent with the earliest missionary in Hongshiji.

How could someone apparently under fifty years of age come to the Redstone Set to preach at the beginning of the new calendar or at the end of the chaotic era

Could it be that he is talented, how old can he be, and can be a warning person

"I don't know. It should be similar to my dead grandfather. Even if it is not seventy, it is very close." Buzz replied thoughtfully.

Jiang Baimian was slightly surprised:

"He looks very young."

"Yes, he has never shown old age, saying that he has the gift of ageing." Buzz said that he felt the same way.

Shang Jianyao interjected in a low voice:

"Maybe this is the first generation of Song He. Every time Song He starts to grow old, there will be a new Song He to replace him."

"..." Buzz, who lacked the influence of entertainment programs, looked blank, but after thinking about it, he felt that the situation described by Shang Jianyao was very terrifying.

"Don't listen to him, he likes to tell horror stories." Jiang Baimian scolded, then asked, "Then why didn't he become a bishop?"

As a warning person for so many years, there is no credit, but also hard work.

Could it be that the vigilant sect stipulates that only those who have received the gift of ageing and awakened their abilities can serve as bishops

"It was the warning man himself who refused. He always said that he has got enough now, and he is very satisfied. If he wants to become a bishop, he will only appear greedy and will no longer be favored by the 'yougu'." Buzz recalled Song He. words.

At this time, Bishop Renato, who was suffering from "heartless disease", had his mouth gagged and could not make a sound like a beast. He could only twist around there, trying to break free.

Not long after, Song He, the alerter wearing a black burqa, returned to this room and said to Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao:

"The Fear Bishops' Conference will soon send a new bishop to deal with Renato's affairs. During this time, I will be in charge of the church affairs of the Redstone Set."

After he finished speaking, he crossed his hands on his chest and took a step back:

"Vigilance is a reminder from God."

After the salute, Song He looked at Jiang Baimian and the others and said sincerely:

"I have a request."

Seeing that his posture was very low, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao looked at each other and said:

"Speaking."

"Please don't spread the word about Bishop Renato suffering from 'heartless disease'. Before we find out why he got sick, the corresponding rumors will damage the reputation of the church." Song He did not hide anything and said frankly. own concerns.

"Understandable." Jiang Baimian felt that Song He was very friendly, and said "um", "We will keep this secret."

A bishop who is favored by the gods will suffer from "innocent disease", which is a big blow to Zhi Sui's image and the sect's majesty, and will make believers doubt whether Zhi Sui can protect them.

At the end of the investigation, Renato is likely to have a bad name like blasphemy... Jiang Baimian is not malicious towards the Vigilant Sect, but similar handling is too common.

Shang Jianyao nodded and said:

"With our friendship, there is no problem."

When did you make friends? As you think? Jiang Baimian laughed for a while.

Song He did not refute Shang Jianyao's words, and told Buzz again, and instead commanded the church guards with dignity.

He has an air of trustworthiness of his own.

Seeing him orderly arranging various affairs, Jiang Baimian suppressed his voice and praised:

"I think he's more of a bishop than Renato and a better fit for the position."

"It's a pity that he doesn't want to take the job, or else the interior of the Redstone Collection will not be divided like it is now." Buzz echoed.

At this time, Song He asked Buzz to go over and explain some things.

Jiang Baimian stayed in the room, watching them peacefully in the corridor.

After twenty or thirty seconds, her brows suddenly wrinkled.

"I'm going to the bathroom," she said loudly.

Song He pointed to the right side of his body and said:

"It's the end."

He didn't stop him, he seemed very trusting and reassuring.

"I'll go too." Shang Jianyao followed Jiang Baimian.

When he came to the bathroom, Jiang Baimian pulled him into a partition in the women's toilet.

"Do you notice it?" she asked solemnly.

Shang Jianyao said "um":

"Song He is very suitable for making friends."

Jiang Baimian nodded slightly:

"I just checked my mood and attitude changes, and found that the transition from being alert and defensive to being friendly and trusting was too fast.

"Although I do promise to keep it a secret, I will never do it just because Song He is very friendly and a trusted friend. The only reason for the decision can only be my own work style and personal creed."

"It may also be because the situation is stronger than people." Shang Jianyao added help.

Jiang Baimian squinted at him:

"So, what are your thoughts?"

"He is an awakener." Shang Jianyao replied.

Jiang Baimian puffed out his breath and said:

"One of his abilities should be to make people feel friendly, trustworthy, and willing to listen. Well, he didn't use the ability before, and he didn't activate it until we asked... It seems that there is no need for verbal induction...

"This is really an ability suitable for missionary work."

She's not angry at Song He for using the friendly ability on herself.

A similar "request" is perfectly acceptable than "persuasion" aimed at dozens of guns, which is even closer to an insurance measure.

- She can understand the other party's feelings of wanting to keep the secret, and she is not forced to change her will, so naturally she is not angry.

"What will his price be?" Shang Jianyao was quite curious.

Jiang Baimian pondered and said:

"Could it have something to do with his unwillingness to be a bishop?"

"I think it has something to do with how young he looks." Shang Jianyao expressed his opinion.

"Could this be the price? Who doesn't want such a price? This may be one of the manifestations of his ability..." Jiang Baimian laughed and scolded, and then said with emotion, "The vigilance sect is really hiding dragons and crouching tigers. The set arranged for a whole two Awakened, or even more."

Listening to Song He's meaning, there should be several warningers under a bishop.

"Maybe there is no communion just to save money." Shang Jianyao sighed from his own perspective.

After discussing this matter, they went to the toilet each with the mentality of coming here before returning to Bishop Renato's room.

Song He saw them and nodded lightly:

"I have already understood about Baz, and I am going to send the church guards to invite Ankhbas to come over. Let's talk about it face to face, and it is best to resolve it peacefully.

"Are you two going to witness, or leave now?"

Before Buzz asked the "Qian Bai Squad" to stay and give the necessary protection, Jiang Baimian laughed:

"Of course we have to watch, it also has something to do with the tasks we take."
