Jiang Baimian instinctively made an "ah" mouth shape, but quickly closed it without making a sound.
She turned her eyes to the front again, turned smoothly over a bush, and then smiled casually:
"I always feel that I may have a hidden talent, which is to make people feel close, feel at ease around me, and be willing to speak out some of the troubles that have been accumulated in my heart."
"It's not something that must be kept strictly confidential." Shang Jianyao didn't agree with Jiang Baimian's statement, but he got rid of the situation created by the previous words.
"Haha, just kidding." Jiang Baimian nodded as if thinking, "Actually, everyone has experienced two crises together, and you have exposed the secret of the awakened person, so they have a pretty good trust in each other. Have you ever heard such a sentence, the way to quickly close the relationship between two people is to let both parties share a little secret. Also, we are also friends in adversity. "
Shang Jianyao, who was serious just now, suddenly laughed:
"How can you be sure that this trust wasn't created by me using the power of the Awakened?"
"..." Jiang Baimian recalled carefully, and found that this possibility could not be ruled out. After all, the scene of Shang Jianyao shaking hands with the mechanical monk Jingfa to say goodbye was really impressive, and Shang Jianyao also said that if he could be in the A circular proof is formed in the interpersonal interaction around, and the affected person has almost no way to detect the abnormality on their own.
"Haha, just kidding." Shang Jianyao responded to her in Jiang Baimian's way.
Jiang Baimian gave him a sideways glance:
"I almost drew my gun, you know that?"
She looked back and said to herself:
"Although you are indeed joking, I also have to be prepared for a similar situation... Set up a few logical verifications myself
"Well... The easiest way is to record key information on paper and chips every day, and look at it when you go to sleep. In this way, if there is a contradiction between the two, you can wake up immediately. I have to say, the diary is still a thing. very useful."
"The ability of the awakened person is not omnipotent." Shang Jianyao added.
Jiang Baimian didn't say more, and continued to search for clues in this hilly area with Shang Jianyao.
After about an hour, she looked around and said:
"The surrounding area is really too big and the environment is complicated. Just by walking the two of us step by step, we can't complete the effective search without ten days and a half months."
Shang Jianyao didn't speak, because he saw that the team leader still had a smile on his face, and he obviously had a solution.
Sure enough, Jiang Baimian turned his attention to him and said with a smile:
"Let's go back to the hill where we put the emergency flare."
Shang Jianyao's heart moved, and he vaguely grasped something.
Jiang Baimian continued:
"There will definitely be a lot of relic hunters and wilderness wanderers there, and I just asked them for information to see what large robber groups or dangerous teams have been in the surrounding area recently."
Having said that, she showed the same smile that she had when she severely damaged the purification method before:
"If you were the leader of the raider team and saw that there was an abnormality in the place where the big ticket sale was done and the team's traces were deliberately erased, would you send some irrelevant people to the area where the emergency flare was fired to investigate the specifics? The situation? Anyway, there will definitely be a large number of relic hunters and wilderness wanderers who will pass by, and no one will be able to tell them apart.
"At that time, if you can use this to grasp which major force is behind Black Rat Town, you can also make some targeted preparations in advance."
Shang Jianyao suddenly realized:
"They won't send their core members to investigate, or even find people who vassalize them. The biggest possibility is to directly hire real wanderers who are active in the nearby wilderness."
In this way, even if it is a trap, there will be no problem, just like no one can find a drop of water in a lake that is unique in nature but not unusual in appearance.
After Shang Jianyao wanted to understand, he asked with a little doubt:
"Team leader, you should have thought about this long ago, why don't we just watch over there?"
"Where did those relic hunters and wilderness wanderers come from so quickly? It doesn't make sense to wait there. It's better to take you to familiarize yourself with this matter." Jiang Baimian turned his wrists and looked at the black electronic watch, "It's almost time. Now, let's go."
When he returned to the hills where the emergency flares were fired, Shang Jianyao realized that the previous search was also leaning towards this side - after the two changed directions slightly, they reached their destination in only ten minutes on foot.
In other words, Jiang Baimian did not think of the relevant issues temporarily, but planned it long ago, and even the search route was planned in advance.
After observing for a few minutes, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian found the best position, climbed a tree, and monitored several roads leading to this hill.
After another quarter of an hour, relic hunters and wilderness wanderers arrived one after another and headed to the top of the hill.
They are all very careful, and they are clear about each other but do not violate each other. After all, it is uncertain whether there is any gain around the anomaly, and it is too stupid to fight first.
After a while, Jiang Baimian patted Shang Jianyao's shoulder and pointed to the left road.
She didn't speak, because she couldn't be sure how loud her voice was, so she could only use gestures.
Shang Jianyao followed and looked over, and saw two male wilderness wanderers who were sneaky and cowering.
They don't tell the exact age from their appearance. What they have in common is rough, chapped, tanned skin, oily and greasy hair, and messy ridges. The beard on their faces has not been shaved for a long time. Various smudges.
One of them was wearing a navy blue sweater with holes. Inside was a greasy and hard shirt that couldn't see its original color. He was wearing black clothes that didn't go up to the waist and was obviously ill-fitting. Under his feet were army green rubber shoes. He had a shiny, metallic black pistol pinned to his waist, and he held a long, flaky knife in his palm.
Shang Jianyao thinks this is very similar to the watermelon knife in the textbook.
Another old cotton jacket tightly wrapped in black, through the obvious big holes, you can see that the cotton inside is compressed into one piece, black and tight. He doesn't seem to have a gun, with a sharp-edged dagger on his waist, a baseball bat in both hands, and a dirty, extremely shriveled pocket over his shoulder.
"Yes, what's the problem?" Shang Jianyao asked in a low voice.
This is almost the same as the wilderness wanderer who came here before, only a little more shabby.
"I..." Jiang Baimian made a voice, with a clear inquiries in his tone.
Shang Jian Yao second understood the meaning of the team leader and said quickly:
"A little lower."
After two "commissioning", Jiang Baimian finally suppressed his voice:
"Don't you think the equipment of these two wilderness wanderers is too bad?"
"Isn't it normal for a wilderness wanderer to have poor equipment?" Shang Jianyao asked rhetorically.
"Yes." Jiang Baimian did not deny it, looking at the two wanderers, he said with consideration, "The point is that there is a contradiction between their behavior and their equipment.
"Under normal circumstances, the wilderness wanderers with only a small pistol and a few cold weapons would not dare to be the first to rush to such an abnormal place. As long as there is a fight, they have almost no ability to protect themselves.
"For this kind of wilderness wanderer, they will come over half a day, or even a day later, to see if they can turn over some leftovers. At that time, the competitors are almost the same, and they will not be powerless to resist. ."
Shang Jianyao nodded slightly when he heard it:
"It's like a lot of animals, feeding on the rotting carcasses of wild beasts.
"That is to say, there is a certain probability that these two wilderness wanderers were forced to come here?"
And who would force two incompetent wilderness wanderers to investigate the anomaly
Jiang Baimian embodies the teaching in practice. Hearing this, he smiled and said:
"right.
"Can you make them friendly and tell us the situation directly?"
Shang Jianyao looked at the two wilderness wanderers who were getting closer, and said calmly:
"If there's only one, no problem.
"If both of them are there, it is quite possible that they will witness each other, which will cause the 'reasoning' to fail.
"If they are separated, they can affect one first, and then get together and affect the other, that's fine."
Jiang Baimian made an "OK" gesture:
"It's simple.
"Change guns."
After speaking, she and Shang Jianyao exchanged grenade guns and assault rifles.
In the next second, Jiang Baimian jumped down and landed in front of the two wilderness wanderers.
After landing, she quickly raised her assault rifle and pointed coldly at the man in the ripped sweater with a pistol on his waist.
And almost at the same time, her waist turned slightly, and her right leg kicked out, like a whip that suddenly tightened.
There was no doubt that this kick missed, but the man with the baseball bat was so frightened that he retreated sharply and fell to the ground.
He glanced at the assault rifle in Jiang Baimian's hand, gave up his companion without hesitation, and fled far away without even tumbling and stumbling his head.
The man with the pistol pinned and the watermelon knife was always pointed at by the assault rifle and dared not move.
At this time, Shang Jianyao jumped down and said with a smile:
"do not worry.
"We have no ill will."
He motioned Jiang Baimian to lower the muzzle, and while the man opposite was at a loss, he said:
"Look, you are here to search for information, and we are also here to search for information.
"You are human, and so are we.
"so… "
The man's expression gradually became vivid, and finally showed a smile:
"Brother!"
When he called out this title, he glanced at Jiang Baimian subconsciously, only to see that the other party had put away his assault rifle and showed no hostility, so he trusted his own reasoning and judgment even more.
"Brother!" Shang Jianyao learned from the other party and greeted warmly, "Who asked you to come here?"
