Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 857: other identity

Views:

Listening to the conversation between Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and Jitisi, Long Yuehong had an inexplicable sense of sight.

Gitis's experience is really like a re-enactment of some of the protagonists in the old world entertainment material:

Because of his kindness and kindness, he received a dying gift from a seemingly inconspicuous person, and since then he has surpassed the ordinary and has his own way.

Looking at the Bodhi statue, Jiang Baimian put away his mistakes and said:

"Put it back, it won't be nice if someone accidentally sees it."

Gittes looked at them deeply, and became more and more convinced that the "Old Tune Group" had no malicious intent.

When she put the Bodhi statue back in her backpack and placed it at her feet, Shang Jianyao asked:

"and then?"

"What and then?" Gittes wondered if she had missed part of the conversation because she was distracted by manipulating other bodies.

But in the middle of the night, her other body basically went to bed, and she no longer needed her "maintenance".

Shang Jianyao had an expression of "the story is not finished yet":

"What happened after the monk died."

Jitis gathered up her honey-colored hair and said in recollection:

"At that time, both my parents were ill and could no longer work. Although the family had some savings, it would not last for a long time, and they had to take medicine all the time.

"I know that I can no longer rely on my family to save money and buy old genetic modification medicines to improve myself. Without improved genes, it is difficult for me to join the army as a woman, and rely on contributions to become a squire and even a knight.

"During that time, I felt that the sky was a lot darker, and the magic of that statue gave me hope."

"The sky in Gustburg was originally gray." Shang Jianyao pointed out.

Jiang Baimian glared at this guy and asked Jitis:

"Why did you choose to be an intelligence businessman?"

Gittes smiled, but she was no longer distracted to maintain other physical activities, and this time she did not bring that mysterious feeling:

"It's still too expensive to buy genetically modified medicines from regular channels. I thought about going to the underground black market to have a look, and this requires the support of intelligence.

"Through this incident, I got to know More, and found that being an intelligence businessman is still profitable, and it is very suitable for those abilities attached to the statue, and More himself said that when he is old, his energy can't keep up, and he will slow down in the future. Slowly get into retirement.”

"Then why do you want to work part-time at the front desk?" Jiang Baimian didn't quite understand.

Shang Jianyao helped explain:

"Life always requires a normal job, and workers, waiters, and relic hunters are not suitable for Gitis. She is often distracted and unable to concentrate."

"Yes." Gitis admitted frankly, "Although the salary of the hotel front desk is relatively low, it is very free most of the time, and, haven't you noticed? This is the center of Gustburg, to the southeast and northwest borders of the settlement. The distance is about the same, which is convenient for me to 'monitor'."

"I really didn't pay attention to this." Jiang Baimian nodded lightly.

She suddenly changed the question:

"Which other bodies are you manipulating?"

Gitis smiled:

"Seven or eight, there is one identity you have seen, Esther."

"Aster?" Long Yuehong blurted out in surprise.

The director of the mining union turned out to be another identity of Jitis

Jiang Baimian recalled the scene of communicating with Esther, and found that this man was a little contemplative and lacked concentration, except that he was too easily tired, and there was nothing reminiscent of Jitis.

"The acting is good!" Shang Jianyao praised.

"This identity has been used for almost two years, and there must have been a lot of problems at the beginning. Now even close people can't find that Esther's soul has been changed to another person." Gitis was not proud.

Shang Jianyao suddenly raised his face and asked solemnly:

"You killed Esther?"

"No." Gittes shook her head, "His body collapsed a few years ago, and he will definitely not live now, but I took a fancy to his identity, status, resources, and dying state, and deliberately looked for opportunities. When I saw him who was dying, I asked him if he wanted to make a deal. The content of the deal was that he asked me to help him complete it, and his body was lent to me and could no longer be maintained.

"He agreed, hoping that I could help him fulfill a wish, that is, to go to Konimeth to retrieve the bones or relics of his mistress and two children.

"I know the danger of Konimis, so I can only tell him that I try my best, but he still agrees to the deal."

Jiang Baimian nodded:

"Since Esther has become your other identity, why are you worried about money?"

A big businessman who owns a lot of private mines and holds a certain share of rare metals and spirits channels will still lack the money to buy new genetic improvement medicines

"It belongs to Esther's family. I'm just helping Esther to keep it, and I can't embezzle it." Gitis replied quite seriously, "If I'm willing to violate my own creed, with the help of the statue, there will be too many changes to me. Life is the way to heal my parents."

Creed... You are not a knight... Long Yuehong muttered in her heart.

Slap clap clap, Shang Jianyao applauded and sincerely praised:

"Abide by the law."

Jiang Baimian did not stingy with his smile:

"A few other bodies were also traded by you from the dying?"

"Two are not. One is jealous of the money I made by selling information. I wanted to kill my whole family and rob all property. I directly shattered his consciousness and took over his body." The corner of his mouth twitched, "The other is Iman you know, the deputy head of the 'Knights of Courage' in Gustburg, and the assistant of the great knight Javier."

"What did he do?" Shang Jianyao did not hide his thirst for knowledge.

Gitis glanced at the lights on the street outside:

"On the one hand, killing Iman was Franz's last wish."

"Franz? Franz, the president of the local Hunter Guild?" Jiang Baimian asked with a complicated expression.

The expressions of Bai Chen and others were also quite wonderful.

"Yes." Gitis chuckled softly, "Franz is another identity of mine."

My dear, there are three of you in the five-person list... No wonder you dare to take the task of in-depth inquiry, and one person receives a big knight gold coin. Isn't this a matter of flipping through memories with "Fate Pass"? Long Yuehong did not expect the truth of the matter to be like this.

Shang Jianyao was "frightened":

"Smith is also you?"

"No, Smith is a person who is easier to ask for information, and Mole is also, um, as long as he is paid enough." Gittes shook her head in denial, "Just seven or eight bodies make me in a trance, and I feel like I am in a trance at any time. It will split, and I really dare not increase it any more."

She didn't say how much body she controlled, and left some way out.

Shang Jianyao thought for a while and said:

"You have to learn to reconcile yourself."

Gitis looked puzzled, unable to understand what this sentence meant.

"Why did Franz kill Iman?" Jiang Baimian brought the topic back on track.

Gitis sighed and said:

"Iman is a strict person, and he will give big punishments for the small mistakes of those around him.

"Franz's son originally followed him as a knight, but he accidentally made a mistake and angered Iman. Normally, that mistake would have been whipped ten times, but Iman doubled it and did it himself.

"Franz's son was seriously injured because of this, and he later contracted other diseases with bad luck, and eventually lost his life."

Gittes paused and said:

"I agree to Franz's request for another reason:

"After having so much information, I learned that so many people in the factory are sick, injured, overworked, and even killed. It is not that there is no way to solve it, but that a large number of people above are unwilling to solve it, thinking that this will reduce their own benefits. Iman is the representative of this group of people. Hehe, he still practices chivalry from time to time and donates money to the hospital to the relief organization, which is really touching.

"When I found an opportunity to shatter his consciousness and occupy his body, his collapse, pain, and weakness were no different from the ordinary people and low-level knights he looked down on."

"What about now? Has the situation in the factory improved now?" Shang Jianyao was concerned about this matter.

"With the efforts of Iman, there have been some changes." Gitis replied.

Shang Jianyao is very pleased:

"He's a real knight now."

The undead knight... Long Yuehong couldn't help but slandered.

Jiang Baimian thought for a moment and asked Jitis:

"What's wrong with your parents?"

"My father has a serious lung disease, which is related to the factory environment, and my mother is overworked and her body is close to collapse." Jitis said with a sad face, "I have been buying corresponding medicines and biological preparations for them. , but barely sustained, not worse, but not much better.”

It's a pity that the biological agents we carry are either used to prolong time for the dying, or to treat various traumas and infectious diseases in the wild, which are not symptomatic enough... Well, there is a nutritional biological agent that can be used when the body breaks down. Although this is aimed at Xiaohong's previous recovery after a serious injury, it can also improve the physical condition of overworked people... Jiang Baimian nodded thoughtfully and said:

"We have a biological agent that should be useful to your mother. I would like to exchange two for Iman, Franz's answer, and three Great Knight Gold Coins."

Two are still owed to Gitis, and one is used to replenish food reserves.
