After lunch and returning to the hotel, Long Yuehong sighed with emotion:

"In this way, the statue of Bodhi really might have fallen into Jitis's hands.

"If we submit this clue to the Hunter Guild, we don't know how much bounty we can exchange..."

"Wait a minute." The honest Genava interrupted Long Yuehong's words, "We work hard to earn the bounty to repay the money owed to Gitis, and at the same time buy the answers from Iman and Franz from her, And now, the way to earn the bounty is to sell Gitis' secret to the Hunter Guild, isn't the logical relationship between the two a bit wrong?"

"Indeed." Shang Jianyao agreed, "We can't betray Jitis to pay her back."

Bai Chen said to Long Yuehong:

"In the old world entertainment materials, there are many similar things, but the purpose is to default."

"This is not our style!" Shang Jianyao said sternly.

Jiang Baimian nodded:

"The main reason is that Gittes is friendly to us and keeps her promises when trading..."

"We are even allowed to take credit!" Shang Jianyao added.

"Anyway, I still can't bear to betray Jitis's secret." Jiang Bai glanced at Shang Jianyao and said, "Besides, we can't be completely sure yet."

Long Yuehong also thought so, and proposed again:

"How about we go directly to Jitis and communicate with her about this

"The Bodhi statue is really going to fall into her hands, then we can promise on the spot that we will not leak this secret, on the condition that the debt is forgiven and two messages are attached."

This is a win-win.

"Wait a minute." Shang Jianyao imitated Genova, "Your solution is simply to go to Jitis and tell her that we know her secret. If she doesn't forgive us our debts, you can send some more. information, shall we give that secret to the Hunter Guild?"

The more Long Yuehong listened, the more speechless she became.

Shang Jianyao just changed his rhetoric a little, adjusted the order, and directly tore the warmth on the surface of his words to reveal the essence:

Extortion!

"I, that's not what I meant..." Long Yuehong wanted to express that she really had no intention of extorting Jitis, but she couldn't find the right language to justify herself.

It can't be said that it is to promote a win-win situation, right

Although he did think so.

Jiang Baimian thought for a few seconds and said:

"Gitis is on duty tonight, we will find her at that time, on the grounds of buying intelligence.

"Then, hello directly 'make friends' with her to confirm whether the Bodhi statue is in her hands.

"If we make a wrong judgment, we will look for other clues. If we guess correctly, we will understand the cause and effect, and then make a decision based on this. Well, Gittes doesn't mention it herself. We absolutely can't say that keeping secrets is exchanged for money."

"Okay." Shang Jianyao agreed without hesitation.

In the evening, Jitis, with her honey-colored hair in her arms, entered the "Fire and Iron" hotel and completed the handover with her colleagues.

The "Old Tune Team" didn't look for her right away. They went out slowly to fill their stomachs, and then walked to the front desk until it was late at night and there was no one in the hall.

Gitis restrained her dazed expression:

"Is there a problem?"

Jiang Baimian smiled and said:

"I want to get some more news from you."

"You still owe me two big knight gold coins." Gitis reminded.

At this time, she was not distracted at all.

Shang Jianyao responded immediately:

"Isn't the appointment within three days? It's only been a day.

"Also, we've worked together twice, and we've both shown trustworthy sides to each other, and in a sense, we're all friends..."

As long as Shang Jianyao is given a chance to speak, and as long as there is something to communicate, he can complete the "thinking implantation" without a trace, which makes it hard to prevent.

Gitis didn't seem to expect that the "Old Tune Group" would suddenly do something to her, her eyes dazed and said:

"really.

"What news do you want to hear this time?"

Jiang Baimian tried his best to make his smile friendly and gentle:

"We want to know if that Bodhi statue is with you."

Jitis' pupils dilated, and the whole person seemed to be poured a basin of ice water on her head, and she was about to get rid of the influence of "thinking implantation".

At this time, Shang Jianyao, who had been prepared for a long time, shouted:

"We are not malicious!"

Combined with the previous "thinking implantation" effect, Gitis's body relaxed.

She blurted out:

"How did you know that?"

Jiang Baimian didn't answer immediately, and used a smile to soothe the other party:

"Don't be nervous, we really want to hurt you with this matter, and now it's those relic hunters who are looking for you."

Without giving Jitis a chance to speak, Jiang Baimian said to himself:

"Our team has quite a lot of experience, we have seen the abilities in the field of 'Bodhi' such as 'Tianyantong', 'Fate', 'Hexintong', and we know what the Bodhi statue might involve.

"When you show your abilities in front of us without any scruples and give information, you should know that sooner or later we will suspect you.

"And now, our suspicions have been confirmed."

A sudden realization appeared on Jitis' face.

Jiang Baimian asked curiously:

"Do you think that it is impossible for us to understand the power brought by the Bodhi statue and generate corresponding associations, or is there any reason forcing you to do this?"

This is her biggest puzzlement.

Gitis acted like she didn't know much about the Awakened.

This time, Jitis didn't lose her mind, and said silently for a few seconds:

"On the one hand, I really underestimate you, and on the other hand, I have to hurry up and make money."

"Why in such a hurry?" Shang Jianyao asked curiously.

Gitis' eyes lost focus a bit, and it took a few seconds before she replied:

"In the last six months, I have begun to feel that the power of the statue is weakening. Maybe in another year or two, or even less, it will lose all its magic."

"Normal." Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao said in unison.

It is not normal to be able to use it frequently for nearly three years!

Gittes continued:

"I have to save up enough money for my parents to treat illnesses, save up enough money for me to buy the latest genetic medicine, and deal with the follow-up of some things before the statue loses its full power..."

That's why I was in a hurry to exchange ability for money... Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and said:

"You are often distracted and like to be in a daze. Is the negative impact of the statue?"

"No, it's because I also control several people at the same time, and I have to keep them from showing abnormality in their daily lives, and I also use 'Sky Eyesight' to collect real-time information on different places in Gustburg from time to time." I feel" that the "Old Tune Group" is indeed not malicious, and the answer is fairly detailed.

"Synchronous control..." An experienced Shang Jianyao asked excitedly, "'Shen Jingtong' plus 'Destiny Link'?"

"Shen Jingtong" can divide one's consciousness into multiple parts without causing the independence of a single consciousness. "Destiny Through" can see the past of all living beings, and can use its own consciousness to forcefully occupy a human body, which is like taking over or parasitizing .

The combination of the two means that multiple humans can be controlled at the same time.

DiMarco was like that.

Jitis was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly:

"You really know these abilities very well."

Jiang Baimian did not continue this topic for the time being, and instead asked:

"How did you get that Bodhi statue?"

Jitis looked confused for a few seconds and said:

"The monk has been in poor health since he came to Gustburg.

"Once, he came to my house for alms, I thought he was very pitiful, gave him some leftover food, and asked him where he usually stayed, and occasionally went to bring him some food and clothes, but my family's situation itself Not so good, it's actually very few times.

"What I didn't expect was that one night he came to my house to look for me, saying that he thanked me for taking care of me and that he would give me the statue. I didn't know the statue was so magical at the time, and I thought it was nothing, so I took it down.

"As soon as I took the statue, I immediately fell into some kind of strange state, knowing what kind of power it contained, and the monk disappeared, and the next day, he was found dead in the factory. Area…”

While speaking, Gitis bent down and lifted the rucksack that was at her feet.

This is the one she always carries.

Then, Gittes took out a wooden statue from her backpack.

It was brown in color, about fifty centimeters tall, with kind eyes and a bitter face, exactly the same as the description of the Hunter Guild mission.

Jiang Baimian asked in a bit of astonishment:

"You can use the power of the statue without touching it directly?"

The statue is actually in the backpack!

Jiang Baimian thought that it was hidden in the cabinet at the front desk, which was convenient for Jitis to use - when needed, he would slightly open the cabinet and touch the surface.

"Yes, after first touching it with my hands, as long as it is within a certain range, I can borrow its abilities and be affected by it." Gitis did not specify how big the range was.

Shang Jianyao sincerely praised:

"magic!"
