Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 697: Touch Porcelain

Views:

For some reason, Long Yuehong could hear a little sadness in the voice of the old man wearing the aluminum pot, which was an octave higher, and at the same time he felt that he was carrying some kind of indescribable expectation.

Bai Chen was silent for a few seconds, then asked:

"Why do you think there is such a thing as brain control?"

The old man wearing the aluminum pot seemed to be a little out of breath because of the excitement just now, and he took two breaths before saying:

"Did I make it very clear just now

"If it wasn't for the brainwave instrument and secret control, how could those who have passed the test of the mountain of corpses suddenly change and even give up their ideals

"and also… "

He paused, his head wearing the aluminum pan seemed to be raised a little:

"As relic hunters, if you can come all the way to Wubei, you must have seen the so-called Awakened.

"They use brainwaves to affect the target and achieve various strange effects, which is one of the manifestations of brain control!

"However, this method of human intervention is still too inefficient. The mastermind behind the destruction of the old world created a brain wave device, which can cover one or even several cities at a time, affecting hundreds of thousands of human beings!

"Only people like us who are prepared and put on aluminum pots can escape this secret control, maintain independent thinking, remember their ideals, and don't join forces with them!"

The old man became excited again, and the next few words were accented.

Long Yuehong blurted out:

"Wearing an aluminum pan prevents the Awakened from exerting influence?"

The old man's face above his nose was blocked by a gray-white aluminum pot, making it impossible to see the change in his expression:

"Yes, for sure!

"Let me tell you, if I hadn't been wearing an aluminum pan, I would have become an 'unintentional' person. The mastermind behind the scenes will not be merciful to those who discover the secrets of brain control, or they will completely control and prevent you from having independent thinking. , or directly destroy your brain and make you an 'unintentional'!

"Many of my comrades in arms just weren't careful enough. They didn't wear aluminum pots all the time, and they didn't have anti-secret control. They were suddenly infected with 'innocence' and were cleared away, hey..."

But Shang Jianyao said before that he could sense the consciousness of the two passersby wearing aluminum pots, and being able to sense the consciousness indicates that he can exert influence... Long Yuehong muttered in his heart, but did not say it, afraid of stimulation To the sensitive and extreme nerves of the old man on the opposite side.

And he also remembered that Ding Ling said that the group of people who advocated brain control always wearing aluminum pots thought that they could avoid the infection of "innocent disease", but they didn't.

Of course, these people seem to have found a suitable reason internally.

After Bai Chen listened quietly, he suddenly asked:

"Why did you tell us so much?"

She originally prepared a whole set of rhetoric, trying to induce the other party to tell relevant things, but she didn't expect that everything would go so smoothly, so smoothly that she had a feeling that maybe she and others were just acting as listeners at the right time and the right place.

The old man wearing the aluminum pot waved his right hand:

"I only want to share these things with you after seeing that you have just entered Wubei, and most of you haven't encountered brain control. Hey, it is one who can save one, and one who can save one more comrade-in-arms."

At this moment, Long Yuehong felt that if Shang Jianyao was there, he would probably take a step forward, hold his left chest with his right hand, and impassively shout out the slogan "For all mankind".

Bai Chen was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond, and simply squeezed out two words:

"thanks."

The old man wearing the aluminum pot was about to say something when he suddenly turned around and faced the back door of the hotel not far away.

"The lackeys of the fallen are here, I heard his footsteps, and I'm leaving." The old man waved his hand, lowered his head, looked at the road under his feet, and walked to the side exit of the parking lot step by step.

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen followed the old man's previous turn, looked towards the back door of the small building, and saw the middle-aged hotel manager who was slightly bald standing there, with an embarrassed and ugly expression.

At this moment, the old man who was walking out slowly shouted again:

"Remember to find an aluminum pan and wear it!"

The hotel manager finally came back to his senses, walked quickly to Bai Chen and Long Yuehong, and said angrily and anxiously:

"Don't listen to him, he has a brain..."

While speaking, the hotel manager raised his finger and pointed to his temple:

"question!"

Bai Chen remained calm, deliberately letting a hint of doubt appear on his face:

"Who is he, it feels strange?"

Hey, Xiaobai's school leader has learned well... Or, she will perform like this before joining the company? The focus of Long Yuehong's attention is not too right.

The hotel manager glanced left and right and lowered his voice:

"He is an old soldier who joined our 'Salvation Army' during the founding period and has survived until now. You also know that those who have experienced large-scale wars and casualties must have some kind of war trauma syndrome, and the chaotic era and new In the early days of the calendar, no one paid much attention to this. It was good that everyone was alive. After such battles, he gradually became irritable, irritable, and could not concentrate.

"He is like this, and so are many of his comrades, some of whom even started drinking heavily, and our 'Salvation Army' has put a considerable part of our resources on them.

"That's fine. After he and his comrades who also had trauma syndrome quit the front-line positions, the problem became more serious, and they became suspicious. They always felt that someone wanted to harm them, and they always felt that the commissioners and directors who were still on the front line were degenerate. , I forgot the ideal, and I don’t look at what era it is, and I don’t look at the current problems. It has changed from how to survive to how to mobilize everyone’s enthusiasm and develop better.

"Afterwards, they organized an anti-secret control organization as if they were mentally ill, and called on everyone to wear an aluminum pot to escape the brain control of the mastermind behind the scenes. Is this a sign of illness?"

Long Yuehong did not correct that it should be a syndrome rather than a syndrome. For a middle-aged hotel manager, knowing such a word is quite good, which shows that the "Salvation Army" has been promoting universal education very early.

Why can a hotel manager say that the current problem is different, from how to survive to how to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm... Such a question flashed in Bai Chen's mind, but what he said was completely irrelevant:

"Manager, why did he come to the hotel parking lot?"

The hotel manager sighed and said:

"He and his old comrades live in a nearby nursing home. How dare we stop people with their qualifications to force their way into the hotel

"He, he originally liked to stop young people on the road talking about brain control and depraved things, but no one liked to listen to it later, and he focused on the outsiders living in our hotel.

"He often comes over, pretends to accidentally bump into something, falls to the ground, and waits for someone to help him. Then, he can take this opportunity to talk to the helper about brain control."

Ah... Long Yuehong was dumbfounded.

He finally determined that he and Xiaobai were really "touched".

It turned out that the old man deliberately hit the jeep and waited for someone to help him. The reason why he sat there without any injuries was because it was ineffective if he woke up too early.

It's no wonder that Xiaobai answers whatever he asks, and he also takes the initiative to expand and say a lot... The more Long Yuehong thought about it, the more she felt that she was too stupid and naive at the time.

Bai Chen also stayed for a few seconds before frowning slightly and said:

"Will the merchants who came to trade and the relic hunters who entered the country really come to help him?"

Based on her many years of experience as a wanderer in the wilderness, she does not think that these two types of people will have any good intentions. There are too few people like Wu Shoushi.

The hotel manager laughed:

"Many people are always willing to show their kindness in order to be part of our 'Salvation Army'.

"Hehe, good people and good deeds may really help them shorten the period of settlement. This is encouraged by the 'Material Coordination Committee'."

That's it... Long Yuehong thinks this policy is not bad.

After communicating here, there is nothing to say. He and Bai Chen bid farewell to the hotel manager named Shen Kang, and returned to the room on the third floor through the normal passage.

When Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao returned, Bai Chen took the initiative to talk about the old man wearing an aluminum pot.

When Shang Jianyao heard this, his eyes lit up, he turned his head and said to Long Yuehong:

"Why don't you try wearing an aluminum pan and let me see if I can control you?"

"No." Long Yuehong shook his head without hesitation.

This is obviously possible!

Genova denied it from a scientific point of view:

"This will not work, unless the aluminum pan covers the whole body and is grounded to produce electromagnetic shielding effect."

"Maybe you can give it a try..." Jiang Baimian thought thoughtfully.

She also wanted to see if the abilities of the Awakened were carried by electromagnetic waves.

Long Yuehong was suddenly a little nervous.

Bai Chen turned to talking about the hotel manager's eloquent remarks.

In this regard, Jiang Baimian smiled and said:

"It's easy to understand. Since the old man came to the hotel from time to time to talk to someone, he must have also told him about brain control and depravity, and he was someone who would accept benefits and betray some of the benefits of the 'Salvation Army'. My heart must be very empty. When I have nothing to do, I think I often think about how to defend myself if I face such accusations.

"In this case, if you listen to the radio more, look at the issued documents more, and chat more with the people around you, you will naturally form a set of self-consistent rhetoric."

Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Baimian was about to greet the team members to go to the hotel restaurant for lunch, when the radio in the room, in the corridor and outside the high street suddenly rang.

Simultaneously sounded.

A male voice who clearly used a voice changer said in a high-pitched voice:

"Everyone, I'm a gamer.

"I want to play a game with you now:

"I have hidden a nuclear warhead somewhere in Wubei, and within three days, if you don't find it, it will explode with a 'bang'.

"Let's work hard, I hope Wubei will not turn into ruins in a grand fireworks."

After the male voice said these few words, it no longer appeared, and the sound of the electric current came out from the broadcast.
