Long Yuehong and Bai Chen hid the gray off-road in the woods beside the road on the only way to the Zhao family's several manors.
Seeing the army green jeep approaching, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Shang Jianyao pressed down the car window and waved to his two companions:
"It's done!"
"Have you caught the 'anti-intellectualism' person?" Bai Chen asked not too surprised.
Both she and Long Yuehong heard an explosion in a manor by the Taiwei River, but it was not in the same direction as the Zhao family manor.
Shang Jianyao pretended to sigh:
"We didn't win and they didn't lose."
It turned out to be a tie... Long Yuehong subconsciously flashed such an idea.
But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that Shang Jianyao really meant something else.
"Have you succeeded in 'anti-intellectualism'?" Long Yuehong asked and walked towards the stopped jeep.
Jiang Baimian pushed the door and got out of the car, nodding slightly:
"In a sense it is."
Seeing Bai Chen and Long Yuehong getting closer, she suddenly stretched out her right hand and made a "stop" motion.
Jiang Baimian immediately smiled and said:
"We met a real 'priest' later, and if that ability is very rare, it should be him.
"So, Shang Jianyao and I extracted data from Lao Ge on the way, compared the memory, and confirmed that nothing was quietly tampered with.
"Just to be safe, let's compare."
-Bai Chen and Long Yuehong also stored their key memories in Genava's body for emergencies.
Bai Chen had no objection, took out a portable computer from the tactical backpack, and connected it to Genova with a data cable.
Jiang Baimian threw his own console to Long Yuehong, so that he and Bai Chen could synchronize. Anyway, there are still many interfaces for Genova.
After downloading the backup memory back, Long Yuehong used the password to complete the decompression, and slowly browsed the content.
"Shang Jianyao is a classmate and friend who grew up together since childhood. Although he always likes to laugh at me, stimulate me, and makes people want to beat him, he is still very good, and most of the jokes are with good intentions... After Long Yuehong swept through this memory, her expression suddenly became strange.
His face gradually contorted, showing a gloomy temperament.
"No, that's not right..." Long Yuehong said with difficulty as if he was fighting someone. "He's obviously a nasty bastard who never considers other people's mood and face. I can't wait, I can't wait to kill him..."
Speaking of the latter, he finally figured out which one should prevail, bent down, put his hands on his knees, and gasped:
"I, I have been 'hypnotized', huh, or tampered with the details of some memories!"
On the other side of Bai Chen, his expression gradually became gloomy and cold. Looking at Jiang Baimian, he said slowly:
"I, why am I jealous of you, jealous of your height, jealous of your beauty, jealous of your ability, jealous of your ability to take care of different people's emotions, and get along well with everyone...
"I obviously, obviously should be..."
"What is it?" Shang Jianyao asked curiously.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was pulled by Jiang Baimian, motioning not to ask random questions.
Bai Chen didn't answer Shang Jianyao, his expression slowly returned to normal, but his speech rate was still not fast enough:
"Some of the emotions in my memory have been tampered with."
"And neither you nor Xiaohong noticed?" Jiang Baimian asked seriously.
Bai Chen recalled:
"We're here to pick you up and see vehicles passing by from time to time...
"Later, a hunter chased the rabbit from the other side of the wood to our neighborhood...
"He didn't talk to us, and he didn't get too close, about ten meters away, or a little further...
"Long Yuehong and I both guarded against him. I don't remember if we ever looked at each other..."
Jiang Baimian asked bluntly:
"Do you remember what he looked like?"
Long Yuehong and Bai Chen recalled carefully for more than ten seconds, and both of them said in different degrees of panic:
"Can not remember!"
"His appearance is vague."
Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and said:
"It seems that the real 'priest' did it himself. If he is a little stronger than 'Wild Grass City', 'hypnosis' should be used at that distance, or 'memory tampering' whose scope of influence is unclear."
In the matter of Yecao City dealing with Xu Liyan, the real "priest" exposed the problem that "hypnosis" must be close, and the mechanical monk Jing Nian's analysis came to a rough conclusion of four to six meters.
Before waiting for Bai Chen and Long Yuehong to respond, Jiang Baimian showed a thoughtful expression:
"I think bigger is probably 'hypnosis', 'memory tampering' is significantly stronger, and the restriction should be bigger, it's not that simple to have an effect.
"Your memory of the distance at that time may have a certain error."
Long Yuehong heard the words and said happily:
"Fortunately, we have made corresponding preparations, otherwise it will be troublesome."
Shang Jianyao looked around and made a shush gesture:
"Don't tell me, the real 'priest' may still be around."
While Long Yuehong was startled, Jiang Baimian scolded Shang Jianyao:
"Don't scare Xiaohong, be careful that one day he really shoots you in the back!
"Look, aren't the things you did in the past being used?"
Shang Jianyao didn't take it seriously, smiled and said:
"The real 'priest' seems to hate us."
"Maybe it's just by the way." Long Yuehong subconsciously retorted.
Then, he saw Genova shake his head.
"No." Jiang Baimian said immediately, "He is indeed targeting us. I suspect that he haunted around Iron Medal Street, and observed it secretly, knowing that we were splitting up. One team went to the manor, and the other team responded, or else, It is impossible for him to act in such an orderly manner.
"He first found an opportunity to 'hypnotize' you, tampering with some of your memories, and then, taking advantage of the fact that we had to come and rendezvous, he ambushed on the side of the road ahead of time and tried to deal with us with the best techniques.
"If this succeeds, we may die at the time, or become his 'servants' and help him with things, but fortunately we have an old style and don't eat his tricks at all.
"In his plan, there is no certainty in attacking us, so he 'hypnotized' you in advance and made you his back-up.
"Think about it, if we had survived the attack and felt that there was nothing to do and became paralyzed, then on the way back and after getting along, Shang Jianyao and I inadvertently said one or two words and one or two actions, It can make you want to kill.
"The most difficult thing to guard against is not only yourself, but also your companions."
Bai Chen nodded slightly and said:
"When fighting against an enemy like a real 'priest', I'm not afraid of him coming with great fanfare, but I'm worried that I don't know when I will pass him by, and I will unknowingly learn his way."
"If he dares to come with a big fanfare, I can beat him to the ground five times!" Shang Jianyao said loudly, as if to stimulate the real "priest" who may still be hidden in the surrounding area - anyway, he is not within the sensing range.
Then, his voice returned to normal:
"Lao Ge can beat him down fifty times."
Robots don't eat "hypnosis" and "memory tampering".
Jiang Baimian smiled and sighed:
"The real 'priest' probably knew that we ruined his good deeds in Weed City, and after finding out that we were involved in the Zhao Family Manor, he buried a hole for us."
"Yeah." Long Yuehong had lingering fears about this.
After experiencing all kinds of things in Weed City, Redstone Collection and Tarnan, and after obtaining multiple exoskeleton devices and the intelligent human companion of Genava, he originally thought that the "Old Tune Team" could walk sideways in most of the gray soil. , As long as you don't provoke the regular army and the core forces of the major sects, it's not a big problem. Like any gang of robbers and gangs, it's not a big threat at all.
But now, it seems that only the real "priest" has almost brought the "old tune group" to the verge of extinction.
"You can't just forget about it." Shang Jianyao was not disappointed, and expressed his determination.
"Well." Jiang Baimian thought for a moment, looked at Long Yuehong and Bai Chen and said, "Do you still have problems with your emotions now? Don't be afraid, let me tell you frankly, we still have the 'Fate Pearl' as a backer. It's time to let Shang Jianyao go to your spiritual world to do a 'clean-up'."
"Okay, okay." Shang Jianyao looked at Long Yuehong with bright eyes.
Long Yuehong was a little flustered, and she was busy comparing the information and carefully examining herself.
After a few minutes, he breathed a sigh of relief:
"No problem."
"After knowing what's true and what's false, the 'hypnotic' effect is completely lifted." Bai Chen also shared his findings.
Jiang Baimian nodded and smiled:
"Before leaving Primordial City, we seem to have to compare our memories often, lest we become the knife in the hands of the real 'priest'.
"Hehe, let's really think about ourselves three times a day!"
After she finished speaking, she said to Genova:
"Lao Ge, you stay here, watch the car with Xiaobai and the others, and I and I feed into the woods."
"What are you doing in the woods?" Long Yuehong asked suspiciously.
Jiang Baimian showed a smile and said:
"Look for clues.
"A person like a real 'priest' must be full of superiority. He probably won't pay much attention to the field of ordinary people because he can make others forget his appearance.
"Everyone who walks will leave traces. Since he has passed through the woods, he is likely to leave footprints and other clues."
Having said that, Jiang Baimian concluded with a serious expression:
"The more Awakened people feel that they surpass ordinary people, the more likely they are to fall into the realm of ordinary people. Their strength is only one aspect, not all."
Long Yuehong was stunned when she heard it, not only feeling it was thought-provoking, but also ashamed that she just wanted to leave here early.
"Team leader, you are so handsome!" Shang Jianyao praised.
Seeing Jiang Baimian looking over, he showed a sunny smile:
"I told Xiaohong."
I didn't... Long Yuehong subconsciously wanted to deny it, but felt that she did have a similar idea at the time, so she chose to default.
Jiang Baimian smiled and greeted Shang Jianyao a little proudly:
"Let's go! We'll take turns monitoring the surroundings later, to prevent the real 'priest' from returning the carbine."
"He doesn't understand this word." Shang Jianyao explained seriously.
While speaking, he had followed Jiang Baimian's side and entered the lush forest.
