The eyes behind the sunglasses, one big and the other small... Hearing Genova's words, Odick's madness echoed in Long Yuehong's mind:
"One person on the left, one person on the right, with a small photo frame in the middle!
"You have one big eye and one small eye. You are not a good person. Let me dig them out for you!"
The man in the black trench coat with the sunglasses just now was the one Odick saw in "Nightmare" before he went crazy
He came out of the building we rented before, and was assigned by "Nightmare" to find clues
These thoughts, like dull thunder, exploded in Long Yuehong's heart, causing him to feel dizzy and his body tense.
If it's just a big eye and a small eye, Long Yuehong will probably think it's a coincidence. After all, there are not many people with similar appearances, but there are not so few that there are only one or two people who meet by chance. The probability is not too low.
But it seems too coincidental that this person appeared in the place rented before the "Old Tunes Group".
Too much coincidence often means that there is a problem behind it!
"True Self" just said that the "nightmare" has subsided, don't worry anymore, we have met someone who is suspected to be seen in Odick's dream? Long Yuehong opened her mouth and found that the team leader, Bai Chen, and Shang Jianyao were all silent and did not speak.
Seemingly aware of his gaze, Jiang Baimian in the co-pilot position turned to his side, glanced at him, and then looked at Shang Jianyao and said:
"Don't rush."
Her voice was calm and soft, smoothing out the tumbling waves in Long Yuehong's heart.
The jeep kept the same speed as before, and drove towards the red giant wolf area. Jiang Baimian glanced at the rearview mirror casually.
The blonde-brown-haired man wearing sunglasses and a trench coat just now disappeared from this street.
When the jeep entered the red giant wolf area and went around to the place close to the Senate, Jiang Baimian asked Genava:
"Lao Ge, where did the target go?"
"After he left the building we rented before, he entered the alley diagonally opposite." Genova answered truthfully.
He was no longer able to see his whereabouts.
After all, he is just an intelligent robot, he has no satellite partner, no corresponding auxiliary device, and he has not awakened "Tianyantong" and "Tianertong".
Jiang Baimian nodded and said:
"He probably lives not far away."
Long Yuehong finally couldn't bear it any longer, and asked for confirmation:
"Team leader, is this the person with 'one big eye and the other small eye' as Odick said?"
Slap clap clap, Shang Jianyao applauded:
"Congratulations, you got it!"
He was very excited, and the whole person was filled with the urge to try.
Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and said:
"Suspicious.
"One, he coincidentally appeared at the entrance of the building we rented before;
"Two, he was wearing sunglasses, obviously trying to hide the features of one big eye and one small eye.
"Coincidence plus coincidence, the high probability is not a coincidence.
"I suspect he's a 'Nightmare' minion who played a part in Odyk's madness."
When Shang Jianyao heard the words, he clapped his hands and smiled:
"One person on the left, one person on the right, and a small photo frame in the middle, I don't know if he is the one on the left or the one on the right..."
"In short, it won't be the middle one." Bai Chen expressed his opinion.
"That small photo frame represents 'nightmare'?" Long Yuehong reasoned.
Jiang Baimian said "um":
"Maybe."
She then explained:
"I told you not to be in a hurry just now. The main reason is to worry that the area is under the gaze of 'nightmare'. Once we overreact, it is likely to be exposed."
"Well." Long Yuehong nodded in understanding, and even felt that the team leader had done it too right.
He turned to ask:
"What's next?"
Jiang Baimian pondered for a while:
"I still have to find a 'real self teach', relying on us alone, on the one hand, we don't know enough about nightmares, on the other hand, we are restricted in Primal City, and the risk factor is too high.
"Also, through Mrs. Lauris, get in touch with Odick's churchmates, the people of 'Dawn Morning Star', and make preparations."
She wasn't too sure that "True Self" would pursue it.
"Okay, okay." Shang Jianyao, who was sitting on the left side of the back row, raised his hands and feet.
…
Apart from asking someone to send a message to Mrs. Lawrence halfway through, bringing back feedback, and making an appointment for a meeting place, the "Old Tune Group" did nothing out of caution.
It was not until the afternoon that they drove the car slowly from the rented place to the Green Olive Area.
They passed the Ugo Hotel again.
Long Yuehong looked sideways and saw an old man with an indifferent expression and gray hair standing in the depths of the hall, at the front desk.
The hotel has a new owner.
Long Yuehong withdrew his gaze in silence.
The Jeeps of the "Old Tunes Group" bypassed the hotel, crossed the street, and arrived at the "True Self Cult" stronghold.
They met Cliff the "Dream Breaker" quite smoothly in the innermost room on the left side of the first floor of the apartment.
Cliff, who was wearing an old burqa, asked suspiciously:
"Is there anything else?"
Jiang Baimian took a step forward and said in a deep voice:
"We have new clues to 'Nightmare' and found 'It' a minion.
"I wonder if your teacher is interested in cooperating?"
Cliff fell silent.
Jiang Baimian deliberately exclaimed:
"Boss Hugo is an awakener. Even in your sect, such a person should be equivalent to a bishop, and no sect is indifferent to the death of his bishop."
Cliff was silent for a while, and sighed deeply:
"The 'nightmare' has subsided, and if you provoke it again, you will definitely encounter a fierce counterattack, which is likely to lead to extremely terrifying changes.
"It took a long time to restore peace in this area, unless we have enough confidence to completely eliminate that 'nightmare', otherwise we will not take the initiative to provoke disputes.
"I think Hugo, who returned to Zhisui's arms, should be able to understand our decision."
His words were euphemistic, but his attitude was clear.
Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao, who did not hide his disappointment, lowered his head, and laughed at himself:
"It's because we are too active, I'm really sorry."
…
Red Giant Wolf District, in an apartment.
The "old tune group" who came here as agreed, rang the room on the left side of the seventh floor.
It was Lauris who opened the door. Compared with the last time we met, she looked much better and was in a good mood.
"Welcome to my house." The brunette and blue-eyed lady said with a smile.
Jiang Baimian was stunned for a moment, then blurted out and asked:
"This is your and Odick's home?"
"Yes." Lauris looked blank.
What is this weird question
Jiang Baimian asked again:
"Odick fell ill before, and he was here too?"
"Yes." Lauris didn't know what to ask.
Jiang Baimian was silent for a few seconds, then turned to criticize Shang Jianyao and others:
"Really, how can it be piled up at someone else's door? It's so rude!"
Lauris followed with a smile and said:
"come in."
Not far behind her, Odick stood there, smiled at several members of the "Old Keys Group", and beckoned.
"Let's go to the study and talk." He pointed to a room on the side.
Because he was at home, he no longer wore the dark tweed coat, but a floral flannel shirt and black trousers.
Taking advantage of Odick's opportunity to go to the study, Jiang Baimian pressed his voice and asked Lauris with concern:
"How will he behave when he comes back?"
"It's good." Lauris laughed, "he is sometimes irritable and wants to talk to himself, but he will deliberately avoid me, pat the table there secretly, and shout in his voice, so every week it is still Gotta go to a lunatic asylum for treatment and buy medicine."
While she was worried, an undisguised happiness appeared on her face.
The relieved Long Yuehong looked at Odick and Lauris' home.
This is an ordinary house with three bedrooms and one living room, and the area is quite spacious.
The one used as a study is not big, with a bookcase and a bookshelf, only a desk, a short sofa and a few chairs can be accommodated.
"Sit down." Odick pointed to the short sofa and the three chairs next to it. "Sorry, it's a little crowded."
"You're too polite." Shang Jianyao responded politely.
Jiang Baimian sat down and asked:
"How long until your parishioners arrive?"
"In ten minutes." Odyk replied calmly.
After taking their seats, Shang Jianyao asked:
"Is it far from here to the Golden Sea?"
"It's very far," Odick recalled. "Had to go through half of the 'prime city', the whole of the 'joint industry' and the 'gold coast', with a large no-man's land in the middle..."
Seeing Odick and Shang Jianyao's Q&A was reasonable and smooth, Long Yuehong couldn't believe that this man was a lunatic not long ago.
After a while, Lauris brought in a lady.
The lady was wearing a dark hunting suit, about the same age as Odick, with blond hair, blue eyes, and rough skin, a typical Red River man.
"Julia." She introduced herself briefly.
After Jiang Baimian and others finished introducing themselves, the lady smiled politely:
"Thank you for your 'treatment' to Odyk, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to see Lauris."
She accented the word "treatment."
"Should be." Shang Jianyao took it for granted.
With a straight face, Julia asked:
"How long can this last?"
"As long as he is indeed such a person, no one can really overthrow this. He can always, always." Shang Jianyao replied with a smile.
After a few more greetings, Jiang Baimian took the initiative to say:
"We found clues to the 'nightmare', I wonder if you are interested in cooperating?"
Julia glanced at Odick and said:
"The matter has passed, the dream returned to normal last night, there is no absolute certainty, we do not want to take risks.
"There is no need for you to investigate further. Fighting against similar nightmares is a long-term thing. It is not very meaningful to find some clues by chance."
Jiang Baimian chose to remain silent.
After chatting for a while, the "Old Tune Group" bid farewell.
Odick escorted them to the door.
When the door was closed, out of the corner of Long Yuehong's eyes, he saw a distorted smile on Odick's face.
He exclaimed in a low voice:
"One person on the left, one person on the right, with a small photo frame in the middle!
"You have one big eye and one small eye. You are not a good person. Let me dig them out for you!"
Long Yuehong slowly retracted his gaze.
Back in the car, everyone fell silent at the same time.
After a while, Long Yuehong said indignantly:
"It's their people who were killed, they don't care!"
Jiang Baimian, Bai Chen, and Genava didn't know how to respond.
At this time, Shang Jianyao suddenly sat up straight and said slowly but firmly:
"They don't care, I care!"
