Embers Ad Infinitum

"Advanced hunter", I don't know which aspect is advanced... Jiang Baimian muttered to himself, smiled and waved his hand:

"thank you."

She took the initiative to end the inquiry before the relic hunters lined up behind her became angry.

Returning to the seating area at the edge of the hall, Jiang Baimian saw no one around, so he said to Shang Jianyao:

"No one is of the right age, so I have to ask Chen Xufeng to get the family information of the guild's top executives."

"You can also ask them directly." Shang Jianyao gave another plan without hesitation.

"Visit them one by one and ask them if they have seen Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei?" Jiang Baimian easily understood what Shang Jianyao meant.

"Yes!" Shang Jianyao looked eager to try.

Jiang Baimian suddenly laughed:

"If someone else had suggested this, I would have been worried about alerting the enemy or not being able to find out the truth, but you are different."

Those are all potential brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, godfathers and godmothers of Shang Jianyao. There will be no problems of deception or betrayal in a short time.

"Then wait here and see who you can meet." Jiang Baimian looked back at the stairs leading to the second floor, "Don't rush up there yet. There are awakened people, The probability of being a genetically modified person is not low, so we still have to be cautious.”

"You can turn them all into friends." Shang Jianyao suggested.

"And then argue with each other to form a cycle?" Jiang Baimian remembered some of the key points of "reasoning clowns" said by Shang Jianyao.

If a person "becomes" Shang Jianyao's friend, and the people around him also confirm that this is true, it will be difficult for him to discover the truth of the matter and get rid of wrong reasoning results.

Of course, in actual operation, this is relatively difficult. After all, Shang Jianyao cannot always follow one person and deal with everyone and everything he meets.

Just like Feilin, the leader of the "Rootless" camp, during the two or three days when he saw Shang Jianyao from time to time, he would always regard him as his life and death brother, and their degree of congeniality was also deepening this understanding. And gave the people around them a reason to accept it, but after the two were separated for a period of time, even if the people in the "Rootless" camp did not have any suspicion, they still felt that the group leader was just getting along with each other, and their occasional words and words were not the same. It might make Felin wake up instantly and recognize the truth.

This is why Jiang Baimian does not agree with Shang Jianyao's abuse of "reasoning clown".

As long as they are not so ruthless as to kill people and silence them, the people affected will realize their mistake sooner or later, and the more people know, the harder it will be for Shang Jianyao to keep his ability secret.

This is not inside the company. The environment is closed. Everyone has basically the same contacts every day, and there will be no surprises. The reason why Shang Jianyao can make the members on the 495th floor of the "Life Sacrifice" cult believe that he is through formal channels. The new person joins because everyone involved has been "persuaded" by him, forming a circular argument. People who are not involved do not know what is going on and do not care about the specific details. As for the neighbors and colleagues who come into contact with in daily life , it is definitely impossible for believers to talk to them about the sect.

The secrecy of the cult helped Shang Jianyao perfectly cover up his traces.

Of course, with Huitu's current communication conditions, as long as Shang Jianyao didn't do anything that caused a huge sensation, even if he leaked the characteristics of his abilities in one place, he would be a good guy in another place.

Facing Jiang Baimian's inquiry, Shang Jianyao nodded slightly and said:

"It's very challenging."

"When the time comes, will they elect you as the president of the guild?" Jiang Baimian first joked, and then said seriously, "You don't know what the abilities of the awakened ones that may exist here, so don't take too many risks. , what if you are more restrained? For example, you are deaf, for example, you don’t know how to reason well, and you only think about how to refute you.”

"Deaf people can use writing, which is equally useful." Shang Jianyao said seriously.

As for the latter situation, he seemed to have no solution.

"Is this okay?" Jiang Baimian said thoughtfully, "A more accurate description of the core elements seems not to be dialogue, but communication."

At this point, she suddenly sighed:

"such a pity……"

"It's a pity that I don't know sign language?" Shang Jianyao asked in a guessing tone.

"No." Jiang Baimian smiled, very proudly, "Finally it's your turn to be unable to keep up with my ideas. What a pity for me is that there is a distance limit, otherwise, you can rely on phone calls and telegraphs to communicate with people remotely Communicate and complete the misdirection. What was this called in the old world? It seemed like, was it, phone scam? Internet virus?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Hunter Guild Hall suddenly became noisy.

Jiang Baimian looked back at the ruin hunters, and then followed their gaze to the huge screen hanging in the air.

The slowly scrolling tasks on the screen stopped and settled on one:

"Urgent task:

"Looking for clues to the shooting case of Liu Dazhuang.

"Description: At 7:56 a.m. on November 23, Liu Dazhuang was shot on South Street and died on the spot. The incident occurred three meters outside Hongluo Lane..."

"Reward: As long as it passes the review and is confirmed to be valid, the minimum for a clue is 10 ores and the maximum is 500 ores.

"Task level: C, 100 credit points.

“Mission Staff Requirements: Unlimited.

"Published by: Wild Grass City City Defense Army Headquarters."

Because it is a task of an official organization, there is no guarantee from the guild.

——In Yecao City, because there are many mobile people and many people with weapons, the city defense army is responsible for public security.

And 500 Oreos are enough for an ordinary family to live a relatively comfortable year in Weed City. Even the lowest level of 10 Oreos can help many relic hunters who are in trouble to relax. After all, for a single person , which is nearly half a month’s food expenses plus low-rent housing expenses.

Although the ruin hunters don't really want O'Rei, and they prefer supplies, at least within the sphere of influence of the "Primary City", O'Re's credit is still acceptable, and the fluctuations in value are fluctuations, and the amplitude is not too exaggerated.

"This is the shooting case just now." Jiang Baimian withdrew his gaze.

Bai Chen, who had arrived at the Hunter Guild and was looking at the giant screen at the entrance, whispered:

"Liu Dazhuang..."

"Do you know him?" Long Yuehong asked keenly.

Bai Chen nodded:

“I didn’t look to see who it was just now, I didn’t expect it to be him.

"He is a well-known information dealer in the Weecao City underground market."

"Information dealer? No wonder..." In Long Yuehong's limited knowledge, this is a high-risk profession.

At this time, Jiang Baimian glanced around and saw several people coming in from the side door.

The leader was a little shorter than Jiang Baimian and wore a camel-colored thick woolen coat.

Her blond hair hangs down smoothly, her eyes are light blue, the pores on her face are slightly larger, and her skin appears rougher. She is a thirty-year-old woman with average looks but very good taste.

In an instant, Jiang Baimian connected her with Kristina, the local vice-president of the Hunter Guild.

Seeing many guild members saluting her, Jiang Baimian became even more sure.

She immediately turned her head and said to Shang Jianyao:

"coming."

Shang Jianyao confirmed his target, stepped forward, and rushed over.

Next to Kristina, one of the three strong men in black clothes took a step forward and blocked Shang Jianyao.

In the process, his hands reached his waist.

"President Christina." Shang Jianyao shouted in Honghe dialect, which he was not very proficient in.

Because he looked outstanding and did not show any hostility, Christina smiled kindly and said:

“You can just use the gray language.

"Is there a problem?"

Her pronunciation is correct.

"President Christina." Shang Jianyao said sincerely, "I am a new hunter who joined the guild, and you are also a member of the guild; I am an outsider, and you are also an outsider, so..."

These words that sounded a bit messy and illogical made Shang Jianyao like a budding hunter eager to climb to the top.

Kristina said without any change in expression:

"So...we have to help each other."

She immediately smiled slightly:

"I have a meeting first. At 9:30, you can find me in my office, room 308 on the third floor."

After saying that, she walked towards the stairs.

Just when she and Shang Jianyao passed by, she suddenly reached out her hand and secretly patted Shang Jianyao's butt.

Jiang Baimian, who had always been paying attention here, was simply stunned when he saw this scene.

Fortunately, she has a strong psychological quality and didn't show any abnormality.

After Christina and her bodyguards disappeared, Jiang Baimian approached Shang Jianyao, suppressing a smile and said:

"What do you think?"

"I was careless." Shang Jianyao said truthfully.

"Huh?" Jiang Baimian vaguely guessed what Shang Jianyao meant.

"I should have called mom in time." Shang Jianyao began to reflect.

Jiang Baimian lowered his head and laughed twice, calmed down his emotions, and then said:

"I don't blame you, she didn't show anything wrong at all. She is obviously a veteran."

After appeasing the team members, she asked jokingly:

"Wait a minute, do you want to go?"

Shang Jianyao fell into deep thought and didn't know what he was thinking.

Jiang Baimian restrained his smile and said seriously:

“My opinion is don’t go.

"No mission requires sacrificing the members of the team to complete.

"We still have many ways, and you still have many goals."

"I can make her be more pretentious." Shang Jianyao said slowly.

"This is also a way..." Jiang Baimian nodded lightly, "But let's think about it again and be more cautious."

While they were talking, the giant screen in the hall changed again:

"Urgent mission (status update):

"Looking for clues to the shooting case of Liu Dazhuang.

"Further description: Someone encountered the gunman in the building where the crime occurred..."

The latter part is a portrait drawn based on the recollections of eyewitnesses:

This is a tall man, wearing a peaked cap, his eyebrows have a sharp look, and his eyes seem not to be fully opened.

Jiang Baimian just glanced at it, and his whole person suddenly froze.

Although the sketch was not that similar, she still reminded her of a person based on his main characteristics:

Lei Yunsong!

The missing leader of the "old tune group", Lei Yunsong!
