Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 225: Soldiers who succumb without fighting

Views:

The sun was already setting in the west, and two bicycles dragged their shadows as they galloped through the barren farmland and the withered trees.

While riding, Jiang Baimian suddenly made a gesture to signal Shang Jianyao to slow down.

Then, she rode to the side of the road, parked her bike, and picked some twigs that were still soft.

"What are you going to make up?" Shang Jianyao asked curiously.

Jiang Baimian, who was not wearing a mask, showed a malicious smile:

"Prepare to enforce family law."

Shang Jianyao strongly agrees:

"Yeah, Xiaohong has been floating a little lately, and he has to let him know that things are going to be tough."

Jiang Baimian let out a "huh" and pressed the branches to the back seat.

She didn't explain much, and turned over to the driveway:

"Let's go."

When the sky was dyed the same color as fire, the two returned to the pier.

Seeing their safe return, Long Yuehong, who was wearing the exoskeleton device, breathed a sigh of relief:

"How, what did you find?"

"There's a little gain, I'll talk about it when I go back." Jiang Baimian looked up at the sky, "You have to hurry up, you can't wait for the sky to get completely dark."

At that time, the direction of the lake will be difficult to distinguish, and the fish people will be more elusive.

Although the "Old Tune Team" has two humanoid radars that can sense the presence of the enemy, this is the era of hot weapons after all. If the murlocs are driving a ship, taking advantage of the darkness, they will launch rockets at a distance of one or two hundred meters. , it is more troublesome.

In addition, Jiang Baimian is also reluctant to share the rather scary exploration experience in this environment, so as not to affect the state of Long Yuehong and Bai Chen.

Regarding her proposal, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong have no different opinions, because the sun is really going down a little bit.

After Bai Chen put away his bicycle and started the speedboat, Jiang Baimian sat down, took the branches he had picked before, and began to weave things seriously.

"Team leader, what are you doing?" Long Yuehong was not lacking in curiosity.

"Execute family law." Shang Jianyao deliberately took off his mask so that Long Yuehong could see his sunny smile.

Jiang Baimian immediately smiled and said:

"It might come in handy later.

"If there is no fight with the murlocs, it is best not to have a fight."

Having said this, she paused and boasted:

"We are the big villains, we must learn to subdue the soldiers without fighting."

Long Yuehong was confused for a while, and didn't quite understand the relationship between weaving branches and subduing soldiers without fighting.

At this time, Bai Chen, who was in charge of driving the speedboat, said in a low voice:

"It seems to be trying to deceive the murlocs."

Perhaps the interference of the wind was not so strong, Jiang Baimian keenly caught this sentence, opened his eyes wide and said:

"How can it be called fraud

"It's tactical deception."

"What's the difference between the two?" Long Yuehong said subconsciously.

Shang Jianyao helped to "explain":

"The latter statement sounds better."

"Okay, you guys are still singing together." Jiang Baimian glanced at them, "It seems that I really need to consider how to implement the family law!"

While they were talking and laughing, the speedboat sailed towards Hongshiji along the original route, riding the wind and waves.

It didn't take long for Jiang Baimian to weave a bracelet with half of the twigs.

"So you never forgot it." Shang Jianyao suddenly realized.

Jiang Baimian almost got angry:

"What a terrible line."

"What do you mean?" Long Yuehong was blank and curious.

Jiang Baimian explained casually:

"We found a branch bracelet in that temple, but we didn't dare to take it."

"Well, you can't take things in that kind of place casually." Long Yuehong said that's how it should be.

After putting the branch bracelet on his left wrist, Jiang Baimian stretched out his left hand in front of Bai Chen and gestured:

"How, am I ingenious?"

Bai Chen replied calmly:

"Don't stop me from sailing."

She paused and added:

"When I was seven years old, I could write better than you."

"Can this be the same? When I was seven years old, I hadn't seen what real trees looked like, and I thought they were similar to cotton." Jiang Baimian smiled indifferently.

The speedboat went on for a while, and the sky was getting darker.

Seeing the lakeside in sight, Jiang Baimian frowned slightly.

Soon, Shang Jianyao said:

"There are tons of people underwater."

"Oh, it's quite rigorous. It's not necessarily a murloc, right?" Jiang Baimian replied with a smile, and said with a relaxed expression, "There are about thirty or so."

"So much?" Long Yuehong wasn't quite sure how much fighting power his old antique would be able to display after it got into the water.

At this moment, Jiang Baimian walked to the edge of the speedboat, facing the direction with the most murlocs, and raised his left hand.

She shook her wrist and said loudly:

"We went to the forbidden temple and got this item.

"You should know what your divine envoy had in the first place, and you should also know how powerful he is.

"Want to give it a try?"

After speaking, she turned her head sideways and winked at Shang Jianyao.

At this moment, the fish people who are underwater are not very sensitive to the sounds outside, and can only barely hear words such as "temple", "envoy", "powerful" and "terrifying". The shaking water wave saw the branch bracelet on Jiang Baimian's wrist.

This made them naturally think of something, and recalled the terrifying performance of the gods.

Immediately following, a large number of murlocs suddenly lost their "consciousness" with their hands and could no longer move the water waves.

This made them sink a little momentarily, but they quickly relied on their legs to keep their balance.

The facts are in front of them, and they can't help but not believe it, and fighting against such a powerful enemy as the divine envoy is something they don't want or dare to do.

Moreover, they have just experienced a war and lost a lot of population, and they are definitely not willing to die for no reason.

Those murlocs who felt the "lack of movement with both hands" quickly informed their companions of the situation through gestures.

After seven or eight seconds, they dived down at the same time, away from this water.

Jiang Baimian immediately retracted his gaze and glanced at Long Yuehong, Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen with a smile:

"I'll just say, subjugate the soldiers without fighting."

Long Yue Hong is sincerely convinced.

Shang Jianyao proposed a new plan:

"If you tell them that it was the angel we killed, will they be scared away too?"

"It is also possible to launch a suicidal charge." Jiang Baimian sighed.

After this conversation, she confirmed one thing, that is, Shang Jianyao did not have any guilt or psychological burden because of killing the murloc envoy.

Also, on the battlefield, life is a good thing. It's not the manslaughter of his comrade-in-arms, so he doesn't need to care too much. Well, Shang Jianyao didn't want to kill him at that time. Jiang Baimian canceled the scheduled psychological counseling session.

The sky was getting darker, and when the sun was only half over the horizon, the speedboat returned to the Redstone Pier.

Hotel camp, in room "05".

Jiang Baimian shared the findings of his exploration with Long Yuehong and Bai Chen.

Long Yuehong felt the wind blowing when she heard it, and she couldn't help shivering.

Then, he glared at Shang Jianyao:

"When did you open the door?"

What made him feel cold was the winter night wind pouring in outside.

"A minute ago." Shang Jianyao expressed his thoughts, "I simulated the environment at that time for you, so that you can be there."

"No need!" Long Yuehong said that he didn't want to be there at all.

When Shang Jian Yao closed the door, he turned and sighed:

"It sounds so magical."

Not scientific at all.

"Yeah." Jiang Baimian sighed, "Those powerful awakeners who have explored the depths of the 'Spiritual Corridor', and even the old ones, are really curious about their life forms. Surrounding them can produce so many unimaginable things. thing, at the time I really thought it might be haunted."

She looked around and said sternly:

"This also tells us that we can firmly believe that science can explain everything, but we must not directly regard things that science cannot explain and cannot verify as non-existence, or define them as errors.

"Especially today, when science is far from perfect.

"The spirit of science is to make bold assumptions, be careful to verify, and seek truth from facts, not to be ruthless, self-sufficient, and blindly reject."

Slap clap, Shang Jianyao applauded.

Jiang Baimian glared at him, looked at Bai Chen and said:

"Do you have any idea?"

"When you go back to the company, you must apply for the corresponding information." Bai Chen said calmly, "In this regard, the company must have more knowledge than us, and the more we know, the safer our subsequent investigation will be."

Jiang Baimian said "um":

"It's a pity that I'm outside now. Only when we encounter specific problems can we get a response from the company."

She went on to say:

"After this time, I can be sure that the Vigilant Sect will send strong people to explore the temple. Although we have a friendly relationship with Song Warners, but after all, we are carrying a lot of secrets, and there is no need to meet the strong people of the Vigilant sect.

"Anyway, our main goal of going to the Redstone Collection has been achieved, and the only thing left is to collect the 'Mechanical Paradise' information, which can be completed soon. When the time comes, just leave."

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen had no objection, Shang Jianyao hesitated for a while, but nodded.

Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said:

"While there is still time, we have to find out who killed Herwig.

"You can't take other people's arms and do nothing."

Bai Chen thought about it for a while:

"It may be necessary to reorganize the list of Herwig's enemies."

"Well." Jiang Baimian turned his attention to the door as soon as he responded.

Soon, Shang Jianyao also looked over.

After another ten seconds, there was a knock on the door.

Shang Jianyao put on a monkey mask, opened the door, and found that the people who came were Song He, the warning person in a black cloak, and Weller, the playboy-style forensic doctor at the police station.

Entering the room, Song Hewang said sincerely to Jiang Baimian and the others:

"I have a task that I want to entrust to you."

"What?" Jiang Baimian asked in confusion.

Song He glanced at Weller and said:

"We suspected that someone had sold information to the murlocs and mountain monsters, letting them know that Bishop Renato was urgently transferred back to the headquarters.

"Now, we have initially locked a suspect, and I hope you can conduct an investigation secretly."

Jiang Baimian nodded with understanding:

"who is it?"

Song He sighed and said with a serious expression:

"Han Wangshou."
