The top of a tall building in the distance from the highest arena.
After Bai Chen set up the "Orange" rifle in the hidden place, he took out the letter given by Jiang Baimian, opened it and read it.
She didn't wait until it was impossible to do so.
After a quick glance, Bai Chen's face showed a complex expression, both surprised, dazed, and somewhat amused.
…
As the nursery rhyme-like singing reverberated, aristocrats got up and walked to the bathroom in the passage.
In the past, this was also a relatively common picture - before the gladiatorial competition officially started, it was a common choice for many people to clear themselves and adjust their state.
Marcus saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he shook his head not obviously.
But suddenly, his expression became weird.
He also felt a bulge in his lower abdomen and an uncontrollable urge.
how come? Doubtful thoughts surfaced in Marcus' mind.
He hadn't drank water since lunch, and he went to the bathroom on purpose before going out. How could he suddenly urinate
But his bodily sensations told him that this was not an illusion.
And the previous doubts are not impossible to explain. To use a Honghe saying:
"There are always things you can't predict and endure, like love and diarrhea."
Marcus's first reaction was to hold back, but the urge became stronger and stronger, so strong that he was afraid that he would wet his pants if he couldn't help it.
I still have to go there. I don’t need to close the door of the bathroom. Even if it is turned off, it will be fine. There are lights inside... And there are two or three awakened people in the box, and many of them also have military experience. It is not an accident. Just flustered trash... I also have professional bodyguards who are willing to help me block my gun... People always look for an explanation that is beneficial to themselves, Marcus quickly convinced himself, stood up, and led the four bodyguards to the bathroom .
Witnessing this scene, but not aware of any changes in the "virtual world", Long Yuehong breathed a sigh of relief.
Shang Jianyao didn't turn off the portable tape recorder at the first time, so as not to deepen the impact, and even the owner of the "virtual world" began to urinate, because it would seem too coincidental, too purposeful, and easily suspected.
Fortunately, they made the plan with consideration of what to do in this situation.
Jiang Baimian glanced at the time, took out a silver-white mobile phone, and dialed a number.
The identity identified above is "Max".
"Hey, Max, are you free at night? We want to visit and discuss that matter..." Jiang Baimian said here, turned around and patted Shang Jianyao's arm, motioning him to turn off the portable recorder and not disturb his communication. Telephone.
Shang Jian Yao is naturally good-natured.
After the singing stopped, Jiang Baimian continued:
"Then see you at eight o'clock in the evening, give us at least fifty minutes."
"Okay." There was a deep baritone on the other end of the phone.
…
After Genova hung up the phone, he immediately turned off the phone to avoid being located in the future.
Then, he started the countdown.
In the paragraph just now, the first number is an invalid number, which is used to confuse the listener, and its only meaning is to tell Genova that the latter is the key point.
And fifty minutes means that the power will be cut off after fifty seconds!
…
Jiang Baimian put away his phone, glanced at the passage to the bathroom, and saw that Marcus and his four bodyguards were about to enter.
She patted off Shang Jianyao's right hand that "tried" to play the song again, and deliberately raised her voice:
"The game is about to start, hurry up and go to the bathroom."
"Okay." Shang Jianyao deliberately put the portable tape recorder on the seat.
He got up quickly, and together with Jiang Baimian, walked towards the passage to the bathroom.
As a "bodyguard", Long Yuehong is undoubtedly close behind.
When they saw the men's bathroom, Marcus and his bodyguards were already inside.
It stands to reason that Jiang Baimian was going to turn to the right and go to the women's bathroom, but at this time, Shang Jianyao stretched out his hand, wrapped his arms around her waist, and pointed to the men's bathroom, showing a malicious expression.
"How are you?" Jiang Baimian lowered his head and said angrily.
Vomit... Although Long Yuehong was mentally prepared for this line, she still felt nauseated.
And he was very afraid, afraid that the team leader would kill himself when he turned around.
Next, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian pushed open the door of the men's bathroom, which was not closed, in a half hug and half hug.
In the aristocratic circle of the "First City" where "Mandala" beliefs are more popular, this is not too uncommon, not to mention the men's bathroom, even the garden, garage, and roof, some people try it.
The male bathroom attached to the noble box is different from other places. There is no urination area. Because many nobles are worried about being attacked, they will let their bodyguards come in, not everyone enjoys urinating in front of everyone.
Based on decency, the design here is very similar to the women's bathroom, consisting of compartments, and each compartment is not directly adjacent to each other, separated by blank areas.
At this time, Marcus had entered a compartment, and the four bodyguards were guarding outside.
Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian, who were half hugged and half hugged, walked to the corner compartment. This posture made their movements quite slow.
As a bodyguard, Long Yuehong "habitually" closed the door of the bathroom.
Now is the best time to close!
Because there is no power outage at this time, the lights are still on, and the condition of the bathroom is far from the level that requires vigilance. It is enough for the owner of the "virtual world" to maintain normal operation, and no additional extras are needed.
If it is said that he has just started protecting Marcus, he may be vigilant beyond the limit, but it is obvious that he has been doing this for many years, and it must be close to numbness in some details. Do.
With a click, the door to the bathroom closed.
In this regard, Long Yuehong did not dare to be completely at ease. He was not sure whether it was his own hallucination or whether it was an illusion in the "virtual world".
In the real world, the door to the bathroom might remain the same.
If this is the case, the "Old Tune Group" can only accept the failure of the ending.
It took less than ten seconds for him to close the door, and when Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and the target compartment were still some distance away, the lights in the bathroom suddenly went out!
There was no sign of this, not even a twinkle!
It suddenly became pitch black, and there was only a faint wind swimming in the pipe.
Almost at the same time, Jiang Baimian suddenly felt that his surroundings had become relaxed and clear.
It was like she finally surfaced after diving for a distance.
No need for anyone to remind her, she knew that the "virtual world" had faded away, at least not covering the men's bathroom attached to the noble box!
And this kind of reaction in such an environment also made her realize what the price the owner of the "virtual world" paid.
Claustrophobia!
Even if the Awakener at the level of "Spiritual Corridor" can continue to simulate a bathroom that is not closed with light in the "virtual world", the reality cannot be changed, which will make him feel fearful and unable to know what is true and what is false. Control yourself to take your attention away from this area.
Thus, the "virtual world" is eliminated in the bathroom.
Seizing this opportunity, Shang Jian Yao grabbed the "Fate Pearl" in his pocket.
He didn't use the "reasoning clown" that was more time-consuming and had more steps, and chose "Fate Pass"!
With this, he can let his consciousness leave the body and directly invade the target's spiritual world, and the other party may not be able to detect it.
The range of using "Destiny Pass" in this way is 30 meters, and the entire bathroom is not so big!
The turquoise light lit up in the pocket, without destroying the darkness of the outside world.
Shang Jianyao's consciousness instantly appeared in a "sea of origin" that was shrouded in mist and shimmering with light.
Countless waves surged up, showing a variety of pictures.
Shang Jianyao didn't go back too far, because Marcus was only six years old when Ole died, and even if there was something important, it was impossible to tell him directly.
There is not much time for viewing and memory, and Shang Jianyao only selected relevant fragments from two aspects:
First, before and after Aure's death, was there anything left for Marcus or his mother, that is, Aure's daughter;
The second is what Marcus' mother said to him before his death.
The direction was clear enough, and the nine businessmen were very skilled in their division of labor. It didn’t take long to find the information they wanted:
First, Ole did not leave Marcus and his mother with hidden items and materials, only the real estate and fields were passed down;
Two, Marcus' mother did say a few words to him before he died:
"Don't complain, don't expect too much, just live as an ordinary noble, and beware of 'Mechanical Paradise', don't believe in 'Original Brain'... Be careful, be careful of the Eighth Research Institute, try your best, try your best to be with your cousin Keep your distance, she, she has something very, very dangerous... If, if you encounter an unavoidable crisis, tell the enemy that you know the password to enter the ruins laboratory of No. 13 in the wasteland, yes, that's it, 'Messiah'…”
Shang Jianyao didn't have much time to continue to look back on Marcus's memory, and he closed it as soon as he saw it, so that the power of the "Fate Pearl" was suddenly brought into full play.
This made Marcus dizzy for a while, and there was a feeling of blackness in front of his eyes, and all kinds of things from the past came to him.
This effectively concealed the slight sluggishness and confusion caused by Shang Jianyao's invasion of the spiritual world.
Immediately afterwards, Shang Jianyao transferred the remaining power of the Fate Pearl to his "Sea of Origin".
In this way, in the subsequent "checks", there will be no problems with that bead.
Saving is a good virtue.
The turquoise light quickly dimmed, and Jiang Baimian, who was touched by Shang Jianyao, took out his mobile phone.
She put out the torch mode, pointed at the switch position, and shouted in mock surprise and fear:
"Why did the power go out?"
"I don't know." Long Yuehong, a bodyguard, responded very cooperatively.
There is a certain distance between him and the switch, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that he did not do it.
Jiang Baimian ordered in horror:
"Quick, open the door!"
Their conversations and their performances all fell into the eyes of Marcus' four bodyguards, and Marcus also recovered from his dizziness, supported the baffle of the cubicle, and opened the door.
Clap, clap, Long Yuehong, whose heartbeat inevitably accelerated, opened the door of the bathroom and pressed the switch several times in a row, but the light did not turn on again.
"It seems like the whole place is out of power." He glanced back down the hallway to the women's bathroom.
The street lights there were also off.
