Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 201: Facial Paralysis

Views:

Brand behind the door was quite surprised:

"Herwig dead?"

Before Han Wang could answer, he laughed and said:

"Unfortunately, I have become a 'Dark One', otherwise I should drink a glass of the wine produced in the original city and celebrate."

Is Herwig so annoying? Long Yuehong was stunned when he heard it.

Brand quickly stopped his laughter and said with a sigh:

"I haven't been out since entering this room.

"This point, Song Warner can testify."

Song He nodded:

"To swear to be a 'dark one' means to return to the darkness and stay away from the world from now on.

"This is a promise made in front of Zhi Sui, and breaking it is blasphemous. I believe Brand will not do it."

He paused and said:

"My room is just up front, and I didn't notice Brand leaving."

He is using his reputation as a guarantee.

And he is one of the most reputable people in the redstone set.

"Then I have no problem." Han Wanghe chose to believe.

Tan Jie did not speak.

Brand behind the door took a breath and slowly spit out:

"There are a lot of people who hate Herwig, and it's not too strange for an Awakener to appear by chance among them.

"In addition, DiMarco underground is also suspected.

"You guys leave, I can't control my emotions anymore."

Han Wanghuo glanced at Tan Jie and saw that he had no objection, so he said:

"Let's go back to the hall first."

Under the guidance of Song He, they stepped away from the room where Brand was practicing.

Jiang Baimian looked back and saw that behind the dark red wooden door, there was silence and no sound.

Entering the hall, Buzz was the first to sigh:

"I didn't expect that those things were actually done by Brand. The Awakened is really scary."

As Herwig's confidant, he also knows a lot about the Awakened, but he has never understood it as deeply as today.

Song He looked at him and nodded slightly:

"Go ahead and find Viel."

Buzz is not stupid, he understands that the alerter doesn't want him to hear the next conversation, so he waved at Shang Jianyao and said with a smile:

"This time I must win Viel."

After speaking, he put on the iron-black mask.

"Come on!" Shang Jianyao responded sincerely.

He didn't hide his urge to get involved.

When Buzz left the hall, Song He switched to the gray language and said to Tan Jie:

"You can come to Brand for revenge at any time, you just need to let me know in advance."

"Okay, alerter." Tan Jie replied calmly, "I need to go back and discuss with them."

Song He turned and asked:

"When did you wake up?"

"More than a year ago." Tan Jie replied calmly.

Shang Jianyao interjected curiously:

"Is the price you pay without emotion?"

"How many times have I said it, I can't ask the Awakened what the price is!" Jiang Baimian immediately scolded, "When facing Brand just now, he was obviously emotional."

Team leader, I think you are singing along with Shang Jianyao... Long Yuehong murmured beside him.

He glanced sideways at Bai Chen, and found a smile on the corner of his petite companion's mouth.

Tan Jie was silent for a few seconds and said:

"My price will not be targeted, you can discuss it at will.

"What I pay is the ability to make expressions."

"No wonder..." Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and left palm.

He immediately became intrigued and actively made suggestions for the other party:

"You can wear a bunch of masks with different expressions, wear a smile mask when you need to laugh, and a cry mask when you need to cry."

This is an excellent method that he came up with combining the folk customs of Redstone Sets and racking his brains.

Jiang Baimian instantly thought of a word in the old world:

Emoji.

Although the definition of this term is quite different from the situation described by Shang Jianyao, she always feels that there is a certain degree of similarity between the two.

"I don't have a mental illness." Tan Jie politely rejected Shang Jianyao's suggestion.

Shang Jianyao said with bright eyes:

"You really are good at 'provocation'!"

There was a slightly strange look in Tan Jie's eyes, and he stopped paying attention to this guy.

Jiang Baimian saw that the grey-talking man was answering every question and was quite friendly, so he decided to remind him:

"I heard that when Awakened's abilities become stronger, the price they pay will also increase. Not being able to make expressions seems harmless now, and it will be difficult to say at that time."

"Yes." Song He, the alerter, affirmed.

He looked at Tan Jie without a mask and said:

"You should come to church early to hear the bishop's sermon.

"This allows you to grasp a lot of common sense about the Awakened and avoid unnecessary risks.

"It's easy to go wrong by groping on your own."

Seemingly feeling Song He's friendliness, Tan Jie said silently:

"At that time, the impact of the previous cases had not subsided. I felt that the church was covering up the people of Honghe and did not want to reveal their secrets."

"Fortunately, you don't have the ability to fear, otherwise, you can't tell the death of Herwig." Song He sighed kindly.

"Why?" Shang Jianyao's curious expression was blocked by the monkey mask.

Song He glanced at him, smiled, but did not answer.

It seems that this is the esoteric knowledge of the vigilance sect... People with the ability to "provocate" cannot awaken "extreme fear" at the same time? Or is it the result of the fuzzy map derivation of the corresponding cost? Jiang Baimian didn't care about "scolding" Shang Jianyao, so his thoughts turned sharply and he started to analyze.

Song He looked back at Tan Jie and said peacefully:

"Since you are already an awakened person, you can choose to become a cleric of the sect, or you can maintain your current state. This will not affect your listening to the bishop's sermons and mastering the corresponding knowledge."

Hearing this sentence, Shang Jianyao raised his hand and put it down again, looking very hesitant.

Tan Jie thought for a few seconds and responded:

"I will think about it."

After dealing with Tan Jie's affairs, Song He turned to look at Han Wanghuo:

"There is movement over the murlocs and mountain monsters?"

Han Wang received a solemn nod:

"I've sent people to scout, and they show signs of being united.

"Before I came to the church, the town guard had already arranged the first and second lines of defense."

Song He nodded lightly and sighed:

"Actually, such a large city ruins, so many farmlands to be reclaimed, and accommodating a few sub-human groups will not have much impact on the lives of the townspeople. Unfortunately, the hatred between the two sides has already been forged, and it has been engulfed by blood. The watering is getting stronger and stronger."

Aware of the gazes of Long Yuehong and Bai Chen, Song He laughed at himself:

"Before Zhisui, all living beings are equal, and as a cleric of 'Yougu', fishmen and mountain monsters can also become qualified believers in my eyes.

"However, I am a bit timid, and I dare not enter the sub-human settlements alone to preach."

Han Wanghuo was silent for a few seconds and said:

"I heard that when you first came to the Redstone Fair, it was more chaotic here, and there were gun battles almost every day. You were not timid at all."

Song He laughed and said:

"At that time, I was young and brave, and I just believed in 'Yougu', and I only wanted to show my piety. Now, there is a saying that the older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous."

After finishing the topic of second person, Han Wanghuo and Tan Jie said goodbye and left.

When the "old tune group" followed out, Shang Jianyao suddenly turned around:

"Last question, why is Vielle still in the church?"

He paid special attention to this "hide-and-seek champion".

Song He knew that they were foreign relic hunters, so he replied unsurprisingly:

"This is the reward for the victor of every Mass: he can stay in the church for a while, bask in the grace of God, and listen to the teachings."

Jiang Baimian, who was wearing a delicate monk mask, immediately raised his eyebrows.

Shang Jianyao said that the last question was the last one. He didn't stay any longer, and turned around and left the vigilant church.

"I'm going to the Grey Talkers, how about you?" Han Wanghuo stopped in front of his tattered off-road vehicle and asked about the "Qianbai Squad".

Tan Jie stood beside him, watching with no expression.

"We continue to track down Herwig's death." Jiang Baimian replied.

Han Wangshou nodded:

"Then be careful, murlocs and mountain monsters may attack the town at any time."

"Thank you." Jiang Baimian responded politely.

After watching Han Wanghuo and Tan Jie drive away, the "Old Tune Team" got on their jeep.

Jiang Baimian sat in the passenger seat, motioned for Bai Chen to start the car, and said "um":

"Now it seems that it is unlikely that Hevig was killed by Ankhbas."

Long Yuehong didn't ask why, but tried to understand the captain's idea:

"Because Ankhbas wasn't very active in killing Baz?"

"Yes." Jiang Baimian affirmed, "If it's the Hevig that Ankhbas killed, then he must get rid of Buzz and others quickly, and there will be no risk of the secret being exposed, and we When I brought Buzz to the church, I didn't encounter any resistance. After a while, Lopez came with someone.

"This shows that Anhebas should have sent his subordinates to find Buzz and others to inquire about the specific situation because of the sudden sudden death of Hevig and his uneasy heart."

Bai Chen, who was driving, looked ahead and said:

"It's more like what Brand said now. Herwig's enemies or DiMarco's people did it."

Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and sighed:

"Forget it, it's not the issue that needs the most attention right now.

"The focus now is what to do with that batch of arms

"If Anhebas really donated them to the town guard, does it count as our completion of the mission?"

Long Yuehong hesitated and said:

"It shouldn't count."

"As long as Anhebas didn't explicitly say that it was the batch of arms lost by Herwig, it certainly didn't count." Bai Chen replied in the affirmative.

And Anhebas is not stupid.

Jiang Baimian gritted his teeth:

"Do we have to find a way to get the arms and finish the task first?"

Long Yuehong thought for a while, and then said:

"Under such circumstances, the town guards of Redstone Set are in great need of this batch of arms."

"No problem, after we have divided half of it, we will donate the half and the materials we have saved to the town guard, and we have agreed that after initially solving the problems of murlocs and mountain monsters, they will retire a military exoskeleton device. Give it to us. When the time comes, the sub-group will be severely damaged, and there will be no foreign enemies in Hongshiji for a while. If there is enough time to go to the 'United Industry' to get a new one, this is the chance for Anhebas to redeem himself." Jiang Baimian Said his plan, "Perfect!"

Business see Yao heavy head:

"Anhebas has to donate that batch of arms anyway, to the town guard and to us. For him, there is no real difference."

"Besides, Anhebas may not be willing to donate to the town guard. He may have other solutions." Jiang Baimian clapped his hands and said, "Let's go to the lakeside villa area and find an opportunity to complete the task."

Shang Jianyao echoed excitedly:

"Do something! Do something!"
