Embers Ad Infinitum

"Ah? What did you say?"

The one who touched his ears and asked questions was not Jiang Baimian, but Shang Jianyao.

This made Bai Chen's body stiffen for a moment. Then, she opened the door and walked in without saying another word.

At the same time, Jiang Baimian turned his head and glared at Shang Jianyao.

"Help you dub the voice." Shang Jianyao said sincerely.

"Although I didn't hear clearly what Xiaobai said, I can guess it. You, you ruined the atmosphere and feeling!" Jiang Baimian lamented, "What a great opportunity to cultivate a sense of teamwork! "

While talking, she opened the door and entered the house.

After closing the door, her expression changed and she looked at Shang Jianyao with a smile:

“Maybe you missed the opportunity to be slept with by Xiaobai because of this.

"In the situation just now, if you say something warm or heroic, she might be moved and ask me to change rooms."

Shang Jianyao shook his head seriously:

"Inappropriate."

"Hey, you still know this?" Jiang Baimian looked Shang Jianyao up and down.

Shang Jianyao replied seriously:

"She doesn't like dancing, so we're not a good fit."

"..." Jiang Baimian didn't know for a moment whether Shang Jianyao was joking or whether he thought so from the bottom of his heart.

She had no choice but to use his spear against his shield:

"I thought you would say that loving someone will only influence you to save all mankind."

"The relationship between sleeping together is different from being in love." Shang Jianyao explained in a tone that sounded like you couldn't read and understand.

"...The distinction is quite clear." Jiang Baimian felt that he could no longer gain the upper hand on such a topic, so he quickly turned to say, "Is your 'reasoning clown' effect stronger than before? You After Jin became your 'slave', he was actually afraid of becoming like that, as if he had been trained for a long time. Also, your routine seems to be no longer limited to 'whatever happens to you, so will I', no. Just looking for common ground anymore?”

"It can be done before, but it must be closely related to the goal and a fact that has already happened. Different facts will lead to different reasoning results, which may not be biased towards me. I have to make a choice or take the initiative to create." Shang Jianyao answered first. The latter question.

To the previous one, his answer was:

“I don’t know why Eugene became like that.

"When used against bodyguards and drivers, it's not that powerful."

Jiang Baimian sat on the lower bunk and thought:

"Yes, you used it three times tonight, and the previous effects were not so exaggerated.

"Perhaps... the effect of 'reasoning clown' is also related to the target's own cognition?

"Eugene has been capturing and training slaves for a long time. In his heart, he must have a 'standard' for a truly qualified slave. When he considers himself to be your slave, he begins to use this 'standard' to regulate his own Behavior, when I see you, I tremble, tremble, and dare not resist?

"If it were other people, even if they were your slaves, they wouldn't act so exaggeratedly, because they have no idea what a qualified slave would look like, and they wouldn't be able to reproduce the details vividly. They would simply be at a lower level. obey."

Shang Jianyao thought for a while and said:

"possible."

Jiang Baimian said "hmm" and continued:

"This is equivalent to being influenced by the 'Mystery Clown' and then adding self-hypnosis, so the effect is surprisingly good."

At this point, she laughed:

“In a sense, this makes it impossible to live without doing one’s own fault.

"You think, is it possible that Eugene has never trained a slave that fully meets his 'standards' in his whole life, and in the end, the most perfect slave that meets his 'standards' turns out to be himself?

"Interesting, really interesting..."

"Life is always full of a sense of fate. At this moment..." Shang Jianyao began to use a magnetic broadcasting tone.

"Stop, stop talking!" Jiang Baimian interrupted him immediately to avoid any unlucky words.

Shang Jianyao sat down on the stool in front of the table with regret.

After two seconds, he suddenly said:

"Eugene mainly makes slaves, so who buys them?"

Jiang Baimian sighed:

"I've already thought about this, don't ask now, wait for Xiaobai to say it himself.

"This may have something to do with why she wants to do genetic modification..."

After a moment of silence, Jiang Baimian looked at Shang Jianyao and said seriously:

"Do you remember what you were going to do?"

"Review. Review every task you complete." Shang Jianyao answered skillfully.

"Not bad." Jiang Baimian's eyebrows relaxed, "If you think about it from the beginning, do you think there are any omissions left that can be easily traced?"

Shang Jianyao thought about it and said:

"The bodyguard who was first influenced by 'The Clown'.

"At that time, we were at the side entrance of the nightclub. The lights were occasionally bright and sometimes dim. Although I was always wearing a baseball cap, he was much shorter than me, at most 1.7 meters. I can't rule out the possibility that he saw my appearance.

"In retrospect, he will also find that he was affected, allowing my 'reasoning clown' ability to be exposed to a certain extent."

Jiang Baimian nodded:

"That's right."

She immediately laughed:

"When I fired to create chaos, the first few shots I aimed were at him. He should be dead."

When Shang Jianyao talked with the bodyguard, she remembered the other person's appearance and characteristics.

"On the other hand, Eugene, those bodyguards were trained quite professionally. They always blocked his body and prevented me from aiming at a suitable position. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so troublesome." After Jiang Baimian sighed, he said to Shang Jianyao, "continue."

Shang Jianyao picked up the details according to the process:

"When we ran to the parking lot, it was too easy to attract attention and become suspicious people afterwards."

“We were running so fast, wearing baseball caps, and there weren’t many street lights, so no one could see our faces clearly.” Jiang Baimian laughed, “When I was running, I deliberately buried my lower back. Low, which can cause visual errors for witnesses and give incorrect height descriptions.”

"Isn't it to win against me?" Shang Jianyao was a little surprised.

In order not to be caught up by Jiang Baimian, he also used a similar running posture, which could make him faster.

"Do you think I'm mentally ill too?" Jiang Baimian replied angrily, "At that time, our clothes were also worn with the inside on the outside, and our image and features basically didn't match those of the day."

As for when they were in the nightclub, under that kind of light, in that kind of environment, they didn't dance closely with anyone and kept their baseball caps on their faces. It was impossible for anyone to see their faces. At most, they would be remembered as just these two people.

Shang Jianyao continued:

"The driver came next, but there were no lights in the parking lot, and I deliberately kept a certain distance from him. He shouldn't be able to see my appearance, but it might expose my 'reasoning clown' ability.

"I told him that there was more than one traitor among the bodyguards. When the bodyguards discovered that he was still in the parking lot and passed by in a menacing manner, he would be under stress and would probably shoot, triggering a new round of fighting..."

"This is handled well. If your ability is exposed, it will be exposed, as long as it is not connected to you." Jiang Baimian praised him and said, "The driver hid too quickly. I couldn't lock him, otherwise I could have done it on the spot. Clear.”

She turned to ask:

"When you were hiding in the car, weren't you afraid that there was an awakened person around Eugene, or that you were an awakened person and sensed someone in the car in advance?"

The situation was urgent at that time, and since Shang Jianyao was confident, she didn't ask any more questions.

Shang Jianyao is quite calm:

"Awakened people should be able to disguise themselves to prevent themselves from being detected by other awakened people."

"Have you seen the figure directly, or heard the footsteps?" Jiang Baimian asked with great research spirit.

"The disguise will fail. As long as the other party can confirm your existence through the five senses, the disguise will fail." Shang Jianyao answered truthfully.

"It's quite magical..." Jiang Baimian commented.

She didn't ask what would happen if Eugene's group could sense electrical signals, because it was almost impossible.

On the dusty soil, the only two companies that can stably carry out genetic modification and produce the corresponding raw liquid are "Pangu Biology" and "White Knights". Those who can do genetic modification with a high success rate are the only ones left with "Pangu Biology" .

The genetic modification that can sense electrical signals is a secret development project of "Pangu Biology". The technology is not even mature. It is perfectly fine to say it is unique.

Of course, Jiang Baimian did not dare to guarantee this. She was not sure whether a relatively mysterious place like the "Eighth Research Institute" had similar technology.

Shang Jianyao continued to review the game. He skipped the part about why he didn't shoot Eugene as soon as he got in the car, and talked about the aftermath:

"You blew up any traces that may have been left on the car...

"On the way back, you kept your distance from us so that the people you met would not think that there were three of us...

"In places where there is no surveillance, we have taken off the disguise, and it is difficult for witnesses to connect us with what happened over there..."

Jiang Baimian listened quietly, nodded gently and said:

"That's pretty much it. The biggest problem is that you didn't shoot Eugene directly, but tried to capture him alive. This brought a lot of variables and made things more complicated. Fortunately, there were not many accidents and they were all solved."

After criticizing, Jiang Baimian looked at Shang Jianyao suspiciously and said:

"Besides trying to catch someone alive, is there any other purpose?"

Shang Jianyao was silent for a while and said:

"I wanted to scare him."

"..." Jiang Baimian didn't know where to start.

At this time, there were noises coming from everywhere outside.

Jiang Baimian immediately stood up, walked to the table, and looked out the window.

At this time, there was no power outage, and street lights were on on every street, allowing Jiang Baimian to see two or three city defense troops carrying submachine guns and wearing olive uniforms entering the alley ahead and questioning passers-by.

In the direction of the city gate, the lights were also shining into the sky. There seemed to be many people there, and there was a lot of noise.

"Eugene's slave-catching team wants to go into the city to hunt down the murderer and save the boss?" Jiang Baimian nodded thoughtfully.

This is her preliminary judgment based on the current situation.

Then, she laughed:

"It's quite a big fuss."
