Almost a second before Jiang Baimian turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone, Shang Jianyao threw the bead that had lost the power of "Fate Tong" into a trash can in the bathroom.
As soon as Long Yuehong made the judgment that "the whole place was out of power", she saw several nobles walking towards the men's bathroom, and heard a slightly old male voice from the walkie-talkie held by one of Marcus' bodyguards:
"Open the bathroom door."
"It has already been opened, and the followers of other nobles have opened it." The bodyguard of Marcus answered briefly.
At this time, there were not only Marcus and Shang Jianyao in the bathroom, but also other nobles and their entourage and bodyguards.
This is exactly the environment Jiang Baimian expected: not many people, not interfering with the action, but not a lot, and there are other "suspects".
After an instant, Long Yuehong had an inexplicable feeling that the world around her had changed.
Of course, he didn't know whether it was his own psychological effect, or whether he really had a corresponding experience. After all, after hearing the conversation, he guessed that the "virtual world" was about to cover this area again.
If you think about it, you may feel it.
And what happened just now made him believe that even if he didn't open the door, the closed dark environment would not last long - the owner of the "virtual world" could not only instruct Marcus' bodyguard through the walkie-talkie, but also use the mouth of others to drive Other nobles and their followers, one side is inside, the other is outside, and one of them can always succeed.
Therefore, the key to this operation is to fight the time difference, and we must make good use of the "Fate Pearl"... Long Yuehong nodded invisibly, as if confirming his judgment on the power outage.
"Really, how long has it been since the circuit of the arena was overhauled?" Jiang Baimian complained.
She also read the book that Shang Jianyao traded back - "Actor's Self-cultivation".
"Who knows?" It was another nobleman in the bathroom who answered her, "I almost fell."
This was not intended to strike up a conversation. In the dark environment, he couldn't see what Jiang Baimian looked like, but he just felt it.
Jiang Baimian immediately turned the flashlight of his mobile phone on Shang Jianyao, and said softly:
"Get out, it's dark and scary."
Hearing Jiang Baimian speak in such a tone, Long Yuehong's mind inexplicably showed the scene of the team leader hitting the Black Marsh Iron Snake with the "Thunder Spear".
That aberrant creature is so huge and so terrifying.
Shang Jianyao smiled:
"This kind of environment is exciting."
"Bah." Jiang Baimian spat, "Go on your own."
She broke free from the other's hand and walked outside the bathroom.
Shang Jianyao shrugged his shoulders, not caring at all that the "virtual world" had returned, walked into a cubicle, ripped off the zipper, and actually went to the toilet.
At this time, whoever is younger is embarrassed.
Jiang Baimian didn't go far, and waited for Shang Jian Yao outside the men's bathroom.
She pretended to observe the passing nobles casually, but did not find any that matched the characteristics of the voice on the walkie-talkie.
One of the nobles entered the bathroom and glanced at Marcus, who had just washed his hands.
Marcus shook his head slowly.
He meant that nothing happened.
I can't say that I also seem to be afraid of closing the dark environment, so I feel a little dizzy, but this is not a problem at all, telling others will only attract ridicule, and he is back to normal now.
After Marcus and his four bodyguards left the bathroom, Shang Jianyao also resolved his personal problems, and brought Long Yuehong out to meet Jiang Baimian.
They returned to the noble box again and entered their own room.
Putting away the portable tape recorder, Shang Jianyao adjusted his sitting position, looked into the arena, and waited for the start of the game.
Jiang Baimian's attention seems to be here too.
But in fact, the various thoughts in her mind did not calm down at all:
"Although there is nothing wrong with Marcus, and everything looks normal, the owner of the "virtual world" will still be more or less suspicious. After all, coincidences are always disturbing. Say, can't be ignored...
"However, since nothing seems to have happened on the surface, his response will not be so intense...
"If I were him, I would instruct the security personnel of the arena to stop the nobles who were in the bathroom with Marcus at the time, their entourage, and bodyguards after the game, in the name of assisting the investigation...
"Whoever exits early will be more suspicious...
"In addition, while waiting for the exit, I will also let the relevant departments of the 'First City' cooperate to investigate two things:
"One, the origins and origins of those who were in the bathroom at the time; two, the real reason for the power outage...
"The former will take a long time, and you need to ask a lot of people. After all, the channels for us to get tickets are not so formal. After passing through the smuggler Lehman who is no longer in the prime city...
"The latter is not complicated. Initially, the city's electric power department located the fault point and found out the specific cause. It will not take more than a quarter of an hour...
"That is to say, we must evacuate the arena within a quarter of an hour, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous..."
They who have already recalled Marcus' memory may not be easily redeemed, and may be silenced.
…
After confirming that the arena was powered off, Bai Chen followed the instructions and waited for several minutes before taking out another mobile phone.
She immediately dialed Jiang Baimian's number.
…
Jingle Bell.
Jiang Baimian, who was watching the gladiatorial match, picked up his mobile phone and said hello a few times.
Because of the constant slapping and shouting, and the environment was very noisy, she didn't seem to be able to hear what the other party was saying, or on the contrary, she could only stand up and walk towards the exit of the noble box.
She finished the phone call at the edge of the aisle about a friend who was in an emergency and needed their help.
Jiang Baimian immediately raised his hand and made a move to Shang Jianyao.
Shang Jianyao came over with Long Yuehong.
After briefly explaining the matter, Jiang Baimian said anxiously:
"Let's go."
"It's just the beginning..." Shang Jianyao let that reluctance to part be revealed.
The only emotion Long Yuehong has about this is:
Fortunately, I don't have any lines or clips, otherwise, the acting skills are probably the biggest flaw.
Jiang Baimian begged twice, and Shang Jianyao finally agreed reluctantly.
When Long Yuehong returned to the booth and picked up the bag, a group of three walked through the passage to the exit.
Seeing the scenery outside the arena, suddenly two men dressed as security guards came from the side and stopped them.
"You two, there is something you need to help investigate." One of the middle-aged men with dark green eyes said in a deep voice.
Obviously, in their eyes, Long Yuehong as a bodyguard is ignored, just an accessory.
"We still have something to do." Jiang Baimian frowned.
"What's the matter?" Shang Jianyao turned his wrist and glanced at his watch, "Give you ten minutes."
The dark green-eyed man who spoke just now said with a straight face:
"What's your name, whose family is it, and where do you live?"
"My name is Sanri De Lace." Shang Jianyao replied proudly.
Drase is one of several giants who created the "First City", and the name has become a currency unit like Aure.
He is the noble with the most descendants, and has made his name into a family name.
Anticipating that they may be interrogated, the "Old Tune Team" has long since created a noble identity for Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian by combining the intelligence provided by the company and the information collected by other channels.
It's definitely fake, but the point is that it sounds real, and it's especially hard to tell if it's real.
When Jiang Baimian also reported his name, Shang Jianyao said another address that did exist but did not belong to them and was relatively remote and hard to find.
As soon as they finished answering each other's questions, another "security officer" smiled:
"Okay, the two of you can leave. If there is anything that needs to be investigated in the future, we will come to visit."
His appearance is ordinary, except for his flaxen hair and eyes of the same color, he has almost no features and is completely unremarkable.
"Ah?" Shang Jianyao appropriately expressed his surprise.
"Nobles like you are trustworthy." The "security guard" replied with a smile.
Jiang Baimian could of course guess why.
The other party took a lie test just now, using some kind of Awakener ability.
But the "Old Tune Group" has formulated several sets of plans, one of which is for similar people:
They used the "reasoning clown" to convince themselves that they were the two nobles.
However, there is absolutely no contradiction between whether it is a nobleman, whether he is a "Pangu creature", or whether he did something to test Marcus.
Jiang Baimian felt that the other party's mentality was:
This kind of person with a clear origin and indeed a nobleman can run away from the monk but not the temple, and he can take it slowly in the future, without directly tearing his face.
In the plans of the "Old Tune Group", they are most afraid of encountering the awakened people in the "last man" domain or the "Bodhi" domain. The way to deal with it is to immediately shout:
"'Anti-Intellectualism' people!
"'Anti-Intellectualism' is sabotaging again!"
Shang Jianyao applauded the answer of the "security officer", nodded and said:
"good."
He didn't talk too much, he took Jiang Baimian and Long Yuehong through the exit.
Just outside the sky was just right, when Long Yuehong wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, another person suddenly came over.
The man had thick shoulders and a broad body, as if a wall stood there, which was impressive.
Jiang Baimian knew him. He was a sheriff in the Red Giant Wolf District, called Wall, and he was also a descendant of a certain noble.
She and Shang Jianyao had met the sheriff for rescuing "Garibaldi", an intelligence officer of "Pangu Creatures".
In other words, the three of them had met face to face and talked to each other.
Wall complained:
"Why is the power outage here? Is there something wrong? I'm still thinking of finding a place to charge the car..."
While speaking, his eyes turned to Shang Jianyao, Jiang Baimian and Long Yuehong.
