Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 533: The road is narrow

Views:

Jiang Baimian was waiting to be questioned, but saw that the elevator had reached the first floor and opened the sedan door and hall door.

She pondered for a while, pointed to the front, and signaled to advance to the elevator.

Because there was no sound coming from the stairwell, Long Yuehong had no objection and followed Jiang Baimian into the elevator.

When Bai Chen and Shang Jianyao came in, Jiang Baimian pressed the number "6".

Their destination is actually on the eighth floor.

"What were you listening to just now?" After the elevator started to go up, Jiang Baimian suppressed his voice and asked.

Long Yuehong secretly praised the team leader's prudence, while recalling:

"We heard a man and a woman talking about betrayal, what most nobles accepted, what was in power and not in power..."

Due to the current environment, he could only pick up a few key statements, which made Jiang Baimian frown slightly, and Bai Chen was confused and at a loss.

Seeing that the elevator had reached the sixth floor, Jiang Baimian controlled the urge to ask questions, and led the three members of the "Old Tune Team" out, and went all the way up the stairs to the eighth floor.

This apartment is not bad in the Green Olive District. It is divided into several units. Each unit has only four rooms on each floor. Jiang Baimian easily found the one described by General Fucas.

Shang Jianyao took out the key found on the prisoner from the tactical backpack, and opened the door with a click.

The living room in the house is relatively large, but the layout is quite simple, with only a set of old sofas, a cabinet, three chairs and a coffee table.

"What exactly did they say?" Jiang Baimian closed the door and spit out the question that had been in his heart for a long time.

Long Yuehong hurriedly recounted the conversation between the man and the woman while her memory was still clear, and even simulated the corresponding tone.

At the end, he gave his guess:

"It should be that a certain force in today's turmoil was betrayed by an ally, and one of the survivors came to question the other party."

"Does he not want to live?" Shang Jianyao showed an expression of admiration.

Long Yuehong can understand what he means:

The other forces have betrayed them, and they came to ask people to question them. Didn't they throw themselves into the net and find their own way

This requires not only giving up IQ, but also having enough courage.

"It will be accepted by most nobles in a few years, and slowly walk into the sun... Whoever does not take power is the key..." Jiang Baimian skipped the conversation between Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao, and asked thoughtfully, "From In the first sentence, which force can you think of?"

Bai Chen, who had a deep understanding of the situation in the "First City", immediately replied:

"The 'Holy Desire' sect!"

Many nobles secretly believe in "mandala" and indulge their own desires.

This point, the "old tune group" has experience, the old K's late night party is the proof.

"That's why that person dared to question, he and the woman have a certain friendship..." Long Yuehong suddenly realized.

He originally wanted to use "sleeping many times" and "frequent relationships" to describe the state between the man and the woman, but he felt that these words were too vulgar, and finally used "friendship" instead.

"You have tainted the word 'friendship'." Shang Jianyao commented unceremoniously.

Without giving Long Yuehong a chance to argue, Jiang Baimian thoughtfully raised the second question:

"You said, who would that man be

"The faction he belongs to can influence many nobles in the 'First City', and can create opportunities for them to slowly accept the 'Sacred Desire' sect; the faction he belongs to has suffered a very serious blow in this turmoil; his own status should not be Low, there is a high probability that he is still an awakened person, or has other abilities, otherwise he would not do such a thing as asking someone to question it, and he is not qualified; the woman mentioned 'who is not in power is the key'... ”

The combination of such stripped-out information makes Long Yuehong feel that the answer can be fermented at any time, but it is the last point, the most critical point.

At this time, Bai Chen suddenly said:

"Assus, Assus, son of Archon Beuris."

Long Yuehong looked at this companion in amazement, and saw a strange feeling in her solemn expression.

"Why do you say that?" Long Yuehong asked subconsciously.

"His status is sufficient, his father is the leader of the conservative faction, the most powerful person in the 'First City' before the turmoil, and is directly related to 'taking power'..." Bai Chen said several things in one breath.

She was silent for two seconds and continued:

"He is at least an awakener of the 'Sea of Origin' level and belongs to the 'Mandala' field."

"How do you know?" As soon as Long Yuehong blurted out, she received a look from the team leader suggesting that she should stop asking.

Oops... Long Yuehong vaguely understood something and regretted it very much.

He remembered that after Xiaobai was caught by Eugene, a slave trader, he sold it to Primal City and became a slave for a period of time before he found a chance to escape.

The corners of Bai Chen's mouth moved, as if he wanted to pull out a smile, but in the end he didn't succeed.

However, her tone was still quite calm, very calm:

"Because his price is highly suspected of 'sex addiction', and he has a prop that has a similar ability to the negative effects of 'Six Senses Pearl', a dry flower that serves as a bookmark."

The negative effect of "Six Consciousness Jewels" is "increased lust", and as an ability, it is likely to be in the "Mandala" field.

This time, Long Yuehong didn't ask how you know.

There was an indescribable silence in the room.

After a few seconds, Jiang Baimian cleared his throat and said:

"We found out very early on that the 'Sacred Desire' sect seems to be cooperating with the 'anti-intellectualism' to create conflicts and try to cause unrest, which is very detrimental to Beuris for conservatives.

"Assus and his father didn't notice it before

"Or, the actions of the 'Sacred Desire' sect in the early stage were instructed by them, which is equivalent to a nail into the enemy. As a result, the 'Sacred Desire' sect finally betrayed them?"

Thinking of the conversation between the man and the woman, Long Yuehong intuitively thought it was the latter possibility.

"The turmoil in the first city is very deep." Shang Jianyao raised his hand and touched his chin.

He and Jiang Baimian both watched Bai Chen and Long Yuehong normally, and did not avoid anything, posing as if they were discussing the issue seriously.

Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and said:

"The phrase 'who's not in power is what matters' is really interesting.

"I don't know what the lady wants to express, but if you look at it at the level of the age-old game, you can interpret it like this:

"It doesn't matter who the 'First City' is influenced by, as long as it's not 'Zhuang Sheng' or 'Broken Mirror', 'Bodhi'..."

"Is this the attitude of Jiuyue Zhisui's 'Mandala'?"

Bai Chen nodded slowly:

"possible."

"In this way, the executives may also be divided into camps." Shang Jianyao remembered which entertainment material in the old world.

Jiang Baimian gave a "um", and then laughed:

"A few of us mortals are thinking about the issue of age management again, uh... Write it down first, it's useless now, but it may not be useful in the future."

She then restrained her smile and said seriously:

"One of the abilities in the field of 'Mandala' is the 'sixth sense'. The lady didn't continue talking, probably because she sensed that someone was 'auditing'."

"Found us?" Long Yuehong hissed.

Jiang Baimian nodded invisibly:

"If they move fast, they should be able to see our elevator going up to the sixth floor, and here, I have observed, there are no surveillance cameras.

"That is to say, they shouldn't be able to track this room unless they use range-type abilities to make a covering effect, but if it's really Assus, he's definitely the target that the new consul wants to get rid of now, and it's too late to hide. , once there is no way to keep silent, it is unlikely to take the initiative to provoke a fight.

"So, after he can't find us, he will choose to leave this area quickly."

Having said that, Jiang Baimian looked sideways at Bai Chen:

"Xiao Bai, go to the window to observe, if you can find the figure of Assus, maybe there is a chance..."

She raised her right hand in a shooting gesture.

Bai Chen pursed his lips, picked up the "orange" rifle, nodded and turned to the wall with the window.

At this moment, Jiang Baimian looked to the side.

There is a stairway sloping to the exit.

"Someone came up, three." As usual, she reported what she had sensed.

Because the number was wrong, she didn't care too much.

However, after hearing her words, Shang Jianyao turned his right hand and tried to take off the tactical backpack.

During this process, he said quickly:

"only one person."

The bioelectric signal shows that there are three people, but there is only one in the human consciousness!

This shows that there are two people who deliberately concealed their own fluctuations in consciousness!

Jiang Baimian easily understood what Shang Jianyao meant, but the body surface suddenly felt itchy, and he couldn't wait to scratch the itch a few times.
