Chapter 861: prophecy

After a few minutes, Murray exhaled and said heavily:

"Looks like we're under control."

"But they didn't expect that the story on the broadcast today would make us find out that something was wrong." Benito responded with a solemn expression.

Murray nodded:

"We're lucky."

You know, they will leave Gustburg the day after tomorrow, enter the icefield, and go to the agreed meeting place. If the story on the radio is told for two days at night, they are equivalent to returning to the Eighth Research Institute with a time bomb.

"What now?" Benito asked.

Murray glanced at the radio transceiver in the corner of the room:

"Of course, report the real situation immediately and see what the institute will tell us to do."

He found a pen and paper, quickly drafted a telegram draft, and focused on the whole thing, including the reason for sobering up.

After filming the telegram, Murray and Benito waited for nearly half an hour until the call back from the Eighth Research Institute:

"Still follow the original plan and don't show that you are aware of the problem."

Murray stared at the words for a while, then smiled slightly:

"The institute is digging a trap for those people..."

"The target has been hooked and will go as planned."

In the "Fire and Iron" hotel, Jitis's voice sounded in the ears of Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, Bai Chen, and Long Yuehong.

Although this is what has long been known to happen, Long Yuehong couldn't help but look at his teammates:

"Did you hear it? How did you do it? Does the 'Bodhi' domain have the ability to transmit sound through the air?"

He's getting closer and closer to old world entertainment material in some of his terms.

"I heard." Bai Chen was the first to answer.

"It should be using the statue to let us have 'Tian Er Tong' in the reverse direction, and then we can talk to us. If you think about it carefully, you will find that a lot of background noise comes from other rooms." Jiang Baimian said with a smile, "It's the same as what happened to us at Sikkaro Temple."

Long Yuehong thought for a while, and did remember a lot of voices, but they were all suppressed by Jitis' words.

"Your imagination is still not rich enough." Shang Jianyao hated that iron could not become steel.

Then, he praised again:

"That Bodhi statue is really an artifact."

At this time, Genova asked:

"What did Gittes say?"

He was not affected, and naturally he did not hear the sound.

"Said the fish bit the hook." Jiang Baimian stood up and said, "Let's go to Jitisi now. It's safer and more efficient to have face-to-face communication for some things."

The "Old Tune Team" who already knew Jitis's residence went directly to the door and saw the intelligence businessman.

"Where's your uncle and aunt?" Shang Jianyao asked politely.

Gitis looked in a trance for a while, then she folded her honey-colored hair and said:

"I asked them to visit a former colleague's house. It's better that they don't know about some things."

After using the special biological agent of the "Old Tune Group", Gitis' mother's health improved significantly. Although it is not healthy, it is really different from the previous situation where it was difficult to go downstairs. language.

Of course, according to the joint judgment of Jiang Baimian and Genava, it is at most this level. After all, it is not a very symptomatic medicine.

If Gitis's mother does not engage in heavy physical labor and maintains adequate sleep, she should be able to maintain her current state until she enters old age, and her physical condition will inevitably decline.

As for Gitis' father, he mainly has a cough. When the weather is cold, he has difficulty breathing and is accustomed to panting heavily. At present, the climate is still mild, and his condition is not too bad. He can go out with Gitis' mother.

Jiang Baimian had sorted out what he could say yesterday into a telegram draft and sent it to the company, focusing on the condition of Jitis's parents, and has not yet received a reply.

"Can you tell me the details." Jiang Baimian made a request.

Gittes recovered the focus of her eyes and described the details she "saw" in its original form.

"There is a trap!" Shang Jianyao was not only not afraid, but extremely excited.

Bai Chen pursed his mouth and said:

"The question now is, will the trap be at the meeting place, or on the way to the meeting place, or will it be launched in the next two days, at Gustburg?"

The latter possibility she proposed refers to the fact that the Eighth Research Institute asked Murray and Benito to act according to the original plan was just a pretense, trying to paralyze the "old-tone group" on the surface, but in fact secretly dispatched strong people, When Jiang Baimian and others were most relaxed and unguarded, they suddenly launched an attack in Gust Fort where they were least expected, and attacked by surprise.

"Insidious!" Shang Jianyao commented unconsciously.

After all, he is not the vicious one now.

Jiang Baimian laughed:

"So, I brought you to visit Jitis. I plan to use her Bodhi statue to predict the good and bad luck in the next few days."

She passed the request to Gitis using the group chat.

- The Bodhi statue can only predict the future of the holder for a certain period of time, which is relatively rigid, and the "Old Tune Group" cannot let Jitis do it for him.

Gitis was silent for a while and said:

"It can only be used in this room."

In this case, she still has a certain amount of control.

"No problem." Jiang Baimian agreed without hesitation.

Jitis then opened her backpack and took out the wooden Bodhi statue with a sad face.

Shang Jianyao stretched out his hand to take it, and suddenly said "oops":

"No negative effects?"

"Yes." Jitis said silently for a few seconds.

"What is it, why don't I feel it?" Shang Jianyao looked stunned.

"I can't lie." Gitis replied truthfully, "So, facing questions that I don't want to answer, I either stay silent or tell the truth in a certain sense, which can be misleading to a certain extent."

Jiang Baimian suddenly realized:

"On the matter of the Bodhi statue, you have always said that you have not collected information different from the relevant information of the Hunter Guild, which is also true, because your own affairs do not need to be collected additionally.

"Also, you said, you have to pay enough to pry their mouths open and get the corresponding answer, the 'them' here actually refers to More and Smith, excluding Esther, Iman and Franz ."

"That's right." Gitis nodded.

Slap, Shang Jianyao patted his thigh with his free left hand:

"No wonder I don't feel it, I've always been honest!

"I'm not even telling the truth in a sense, but the whole truth."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Gitis and asked enthusiastically:

"So, what's your real opinion of us?"

Jitis kept her mouth shut and did not answer.

Shang Jianyao shook his head regretfully, and instead held the Bodhi statue with both hands.

He then half closed his eyes and muttered.

After a few seconds, he opened his eyes and said:

"That's not right, why is there no predicted result?"

Gitis took a breath and said:

"What time period did you predict?"

"What will happen in twenty-eight minutes." Shang Jianyao said with a "what's wrong with this" expression, "I just want to experiment first."

Jitis's expression was no longer in a trance, her eyes sharpened a few times.

She fell silent and said:

"You can't use such a precise point in time.

"It has to be vague and broad, for example, within today, within the next month."

"Say it earlier!" Shang Jianyao was righteous.

Jiang Baimian felt that his blood pressure had risen a little, so he gave Jitis a sympathetic look.

Gitis chose silence.

Shang Jianyao closed his eyes again and muttered a few words.

After a while, he opened his eyes and said excitedly and excitedly:

"We will have a bloody disaster in three days!"

What's so happy about this? Long Yuehong's scalp felt a little numb when she heard it.

While that was to be expected from "The Old Tune Group," "Bloodlight" still doesn't sound so reassuring.

Jiang Baimian said "um":

"Do you know about what time period?"

"At a later point in time, the preliminary judgment is the day after tomorrow." Shang Jianyao answered truthfully.

"What is the specific content of the blood light disaster?" Bai Chen interjected and asked.

Shang Jianyao shook his head:

"I saw blood.

"Well, I will predict what kind of blood-light disaster will be."

"The same thing can only be predicted once." Jitis reminded a little helplessly.

Without giving Shang Jianyao a chance to speak, Jiang Baimian nodded and said:

"That day happened to be the day Murray and Benito left Gustburg and returned to the Eighth Institute."

"That's right." Long Yuehong sighed.

At this time, Shang Jianyao looked at Jitis and asked suspiciously:

"We all know that there is a disaster of blood light, and we should be able to avoid it at that time. Does this mean that the prediction is wrong?"

"So far, the prophecies I've made have all come true in some way," Gittes reminded.

Shang Jianyao nodded slowly, looked at Long Yuehong, smiled and said:

"How about I give you a knife first and satisfy the condition of the bloody disaster?"

If it weren't for outsiders, Long Yuehong would definitely let this guy stab himself instead of choosing silence.

Shang Jianyao immediately became elated:

"Since there will be a bloody disaster in the next day, then we have to eat a few meals in the past two days and relax!"
