Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 437: Performance Art

Views:

Shang Jianyao suddenly became excited:

"OK."

Jiang Baimian deliberately ignored his expression and said to Genawa, who was shaking his neck up and down:

"Lao Ge, leave this to you."

In this regard, Shang Jianyao was only slightly disappointed, and quickly regained his spirits, pulled Gnaval aside, and whispered.

Demis put one hand in his pocket, carrying the paper bag with his black trench coat, and walking towards the road leading to the Green Olive District while admiring the night street scene.

During this process, it was inevitable that passers-by would approach him or go on the same road with him, but they unwittingly slowed down or chose to make a small circle. In short, no one could follow Demis by disguising as ordinary pedestrians. And all this is done unknowingly.

Seeing the alley around the corner, Demis suddenly saw a figure rushing over.

The opponent's speed was so fast, like a runaway vehicle, before he could react, it ran to his side.

Immediately afterwards, a silver-black metal palm patted Demis's shoulder in a good posture.

Only then did Demis see clearly that the visitor was a robot in a dark green military uniform with red eyes.

He opened his mouth, tried to create chaos by calling for help, and took the opportunity to escape. As a result, Genova shrank his right palm, pinched his neck, and blocked his voice.

"Did you say that the security guards who just passed by will have time to return?" Genova tried his best to bring a smile to his slightly synthetic baritone.

This line was taught to him by Shang Jianyao, so he had to adjust his tone.

Demis's expression froze, not knowing where he went wrong.

Genova took advantage of the situation and embraced him, posing a familiar and affectionate appearance to cover up the abnormal position of his right palm.

"It's just something to talk to you about." The intelligent robot repeated the lines given by Shang Jianyao to stabilize the target.

If it wasn't that he couldn't make an expression, he would have brought a little smile.

Demis's face had returned to normal, and he could not see any fear. He "followed" Genova into the secluded alley and found a corner with no one.

"Are you responsible for the bombing of the citizens' assembly?" Genova asked.

Demis nodded calmly:

"You have all seen through my disguise, is there any need to ask this question

"Let your master come out."

Genova noticed a response that didn't quite fit his database of human behavior patterns, and asked:

"Are not you afraid?"

"What's the use of being afraid?" Demis asked rather calmly.

Genavar moved his metal neck:

"Are you also an accomplice of the arena assassination murderer?"

"You can say that." Demis laughed.

Genova asked:

"Why are you doing these things?"

"In order to break the current order, in order to create chaos." Demis said with a solemn expression, "The current 'prime city' is like a slowly rising stagnant water. If it goes on like this, it will become more and more inactive, and it will continue to spread. over everyone's necks..."

Hearing this, Genova corrected:

"Slow rise and stagnant water are logically contradictory and cannot be put together."

"..." Demis was stunned for a moment, "Just understand the meaning. In short, this state must be broken, and no matter which direction it develops, it will not be worse than it is now."

Genova agrees somewhat:

"Motion and change are the main themes of this world. The only constant is that we are always changing."

"You want to cooperate?" Demis guessed the purpose of the forces behind the robot.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a figure enter this no-man's place.

Before that, he had no sense at all, which means that the other party can cover up his consciousness and is also an awakener.

The visitor is tall and big, wearing a monkey mask that is full of air.

Taking advantage of the opportunity that Demis' attention was attracted by the mask, Shang Jianyao said with a smile:

"look:

"We want to do great things in Prime City, and you also want to do great things in Prime City;

"We are a team, and you are a team;

"so… "

Demis's expression changed a few times, and finally showed a smile that was both cordial and pleasant:

"So it's you, how did you meet in such a scary way?"

"This is more concealed and safer." Shang Jianyao replied sincerely.

Without giving Demis a chance to speak, he made his voice smile:

"You just convinced our robot."

Demis laughed:

"No way, you have to prepare multiple sets of rhetoric to deal with different people."

"..." Only then did Genova realize that he hadn't been able to recognize that the other party was lying.

Of course, even a lie detector that can monitor the other party's various data may not be accurate, let alone such an "amateur" intelligent robot.

Shang Jianyao followed with a smile and said:

"Actually, I also feel that you have a point. The current 'prime city' urgently needs to change. No matter which direction you go in, change is better than no change.

"Seriously, are you familiar with the murderer of the arena assassination? I don't think you look too worried about him."

Demis chuckled:

"We just kind of cooperated on that thing, and I don't even know if the name he told me was real or fake."

Having said that, he shrugged his shoulders:

"Anyway, it's the arrangement from above. I will do whatever they tell me."

"Which organization is above you, it makes me a little confused?" Shang Jianyao made a test in vernacular.

Genova paid close attention to Demis's movements, and as soon as he found any signs of waking up, he would immediately knock him out.

"Didn't they tell you?" Demis automatically helped Shang Jianyao find a reasonable explanation.

His expression became solemn again:

"We belong to the Behaviour Order."

Having said that, he made a face and said in a low voice:

"Deeds show the heart, may the impulse be with you."

"The Behaviour Order..." Shang Jianyao had seen the relevant content on the information provided by the company, but he still asked with confirmation, "Which executive do you believe in?"

"The 'Monitor' of May." Demis made a face again, as if to show respect for Zhisui in this way.

Shang Jianyao said "oh oh" twice:

"What is your sacrament?"

"All kinds of bugs, all kinds of practices." Demis replied sternly, "After the chaotic era, except for the wilderness wanderers who lacked food and some relic hunters, no one is willing to eat these things, so the leader of our sect will eat these things. They are made communion."

Struggling to behave differently from everyone else? Genova tried to analyze why.

Shang Jianyao raised his hand and pressed the monkey mask on his face:

"You can eat it just by twisting your head. It's very rich in protein."

He then sighed:

"What exactly do you want to achieve?"

"You need to ask your superiors and mine. I'm just a soldier in charge of execution." Demis said that he was equally unclear.

Shang Jianyao looked at Demis for a few seconds with regretful eyes, seeing him bewildered.

"Why are you always being chased by those security guards? Deliberately showing up to attract attention?" Shang Jianyao asked instead.

Demis showed a smug smile:

"It's a performance art."

"Oh, it's no wonder that you are called the Action Religion." Shang Jianyao's eyes, who had been a little lackluster because of the sacrament, suddenly brightened.

At this time, Genova interjected:

"It makes you happy?"

"This not only makes me happy, but also a way of praying, which is applauded and appreciated by the old age." Demis did not hide it.

Shang Jianyao asked curiously:

"What other performance art have you done?"

"This is too much, let's talk later, someone may pass by at any time." Demis was still cautious.

Shang Jianyao nodded:

"You covered your mouth with a scarf before, deliberately misleading your pursuers?"

"Yeah, they don't recognize me as soon as I take off the scarf." Demis's mouth twitched slightly.

Shang Jianyao stretched out his right hand:

"Let's be here today, don't report what you've seen with us for the time being.

"In this way, if you are betrayed, you can still ask us for help, and if you need cooperation in the follow-up tasks, you can also ask us."

Demis pondered for a while, then nodded slowly:

"You are also staying behind.

"Okay, how should I contact you?"

After giving a specific time, another frequency band and some kind of telegram password, Shang Jianyao waved goodbye to Demis.

Genavar followed his example, raising his metal arm, spreading his fingers, and shaking it a few times.

After taking off the mask and walking around to a safe house, Shang Jianyao and Genava waited for a few minutes before they saw Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen come back.

They had been on guard around that alley before, and when they saw something was wrong, they would give a signal.

After listening to Shang Jianyao's retelling, Jiang Baimian frowned slightly and said to himself the term:

"The Behaviour Order..."

After a few seconds, she sighed:

"The demons are dancing!"

She is referring to the situation in the first city, all forces and various religious groups are on stage.

After discussing this matter, Jiang Baimian looked around:

"Everyone, rest, Lao Ge pay attention, and try to record the 'Dao and Electrical Repair' radio tomorrow night."
