Embers Ad Infinitum

Jiang Baimian and others were all a little confused by Long Yuehong's rhetorical question. Only Shang Jianyao thought carefully and answered seriously:

"He probably doesn't know."

I didn’t know that there are frequent water and power outages in Qingliu District.

This time, Jiang Baimian sided with Long Yuehong:

“I didn’t know it was normal at first, but once I lived in the Green Olive District for a few days or less than a week, I definitely knew that there were frequent power outages here.

"And it's been a while since the guest in the bathroom encountered the Sleeping Cat."

What she meant was that even if Xiao Chong chose to live in the Green Olive District, which was the messiest and least likely to be discovered when he first came to the First City, he should now move to the Red Giant Wolf District, Golden Wheat Sui District and other places.

"If Xiao Chong is indeed related to the outbreak of 'Wuxin Disease' in these blocks, then he won't be too far from here." The Gnawa chip was converted, eliminating all possibilities.

The basis for this judgment is a certain logic:

If Xiao Chong can affect a large area, then the previous "unintentional" cases will not be so concentrated in location.

Hearing Gnawa's words, Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and Bai Chen all turned their attention to the hotel window.

They stood in the room, and through the not too clean glass, they could see the Third Avenue that separated the Green Olive District and the Red Wolf District.

At this time, a group of people marched there, shouting "We want land" and "We want jobs."

"How many blocks away is Xiao Chong on Third Avenue?" Long Yuehong also responded.

"It's possible." Jiang Baimian nodded gently.

Shang Jianyao then said:

"Xiao Chong's thinking is not too normal, and it may not be what we expected."

So he's your good friend? Long Yue slandered and said with embarrassment:

"It would be more troublesome if Xiaochang was in those few blocks. The security there is better, and it is almost impossible to check door to door. Moreover, it is not so easy to have power outages."

House-to-house investigations are difficult mainly because the situation is relatively tense now, and the "old investigation team" has to hide from the "anti-intellectual religion". If they pretend to be police officers and go in and out of a fixed area for more than ten days in a row to visit different residents, they can easily be targeted.

After listening to Long Yuehong's words, Jiang Baimian smiled:

“If those neighborhoods don’t lose power, we’ll shut them down.

"The hospital is far away anyway."

Bang bang bang, Shang Jianyao applauded for this.

Looking at the team leader's obviously very pleasing smile, Long Yuehong suddenly felt like "we might really be villains."

…………

The next day, 3pm.

Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen boarded the two buildings that could see the target area separately and used telescopes to monitor different places.

"Ten, nine, eight..." Shang Jianyao began to count down in a ceremonial manner.

As soon as he shouted "one", the power went out suddenly in the few red wolf blocks near Third Avenue. In the few places where the light bulbs were on, nothing could resist the sunshine.

The reason why the "Old Adjustment Team" chose to have a power outage in the afternoon instead of at night is because Xiao Chong's gaming is an all-weather activity and will not be fixed at that time period. Once the power goes out at night, everything will be dark, making it difficult for Jiang Baimian and others to monitor It will rise straight up.

In addition, at this time, most people in the Red Giant Wolf District are at work, which will not affect the observation of the "Old Tune Team". But at night, especially after a power outage, I don't know how many people will enter the streets to "Old Tune Team" The team's manpower can't even see it.

After confirming that there was indeed a power outage in the target area, Shang Jianyao praised:

"Lao Ge is really punctual, and he doesn't miss a second. In this regard, we carbon-based people really can't compare."

"I can." Jiang Baimian raised his left hand.

She means that she has an auxiliary chip, which can also make her actions accurate to the second.

While speaking, she was not distracted and continued to observe the target area with the telescope to see if there were any changes.

The same is true for Shang Jianyao.

Room after room, people leaving the building and entering the street came into view.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Baimian heard Bai Chen’s report:

"No one suspected of Xiao Chong was found, and there was no abnormality in the room."

"Same here." Jiang Baimian replied.

At this moment, Gnawa also watched the surveillance video copied from Ugo Hotel:

"There are no creatures suspected of being Xiao Chong, Sleeping Cat, or Nightmare Horse."

"It seems that Xiao Chong's thinking is indeed different from that of normal people..." Jiang Baimian sighed in a low voice, "Hey, if it were you, what would you choose?"

Shang Jianyao pondered for a moment and said:

“I’ll throw the dice and let God decide.

"When I don't know where I'm going, the people who want to find me have no idea."

Jiang Baimian originally wanted to say, "What should I do if my luck with the dice is bad and the option of the enemy's neighbor is directly given?" But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was not a problem.

Similar incorrect answers can be eliminated before the die is thrown.

"I can only make a few guesses based on the scope of this 'unintentional disease' outbreak..." Jiang Baimian said at the end, puffing out air in his mouth.

The relationship between Xiao Chong and this "unintentional illness" outbreak is just a conjecture.

At this moment, Shang Jianyao suddenly became excited:

"I saw it! I saw it!"

"Xiao Chong?" Jiang Baimian quickly turned the telescope to where Shang Jianyao was looking.

After Shang Jianyao's "guidance", she finally locked in on someone.

The man was in his forties, wearing a dark robe, long black hair, and a very elegant beard around his mouth.

He is not Xiao Chong, but he is an acquaintance of the "Old Tune Team" and knows Xiao Chong to a certain extent.

Du Heng!

Du Heng, a mysterious and powerful man who calls himself an antiquities scholar and historical researcher, became an "official hunter" not long ago!

"He chased Xiao Chong to the First City?" Jiang Baimian nodded slightly.

This made her reconfirm that Xiao Chong had come to the First City.

"Go and say hello?" Shang Jianyao suggested excitedly.

"Wait a little longer and observe again." Jiang Baimian didn't want to waste the opportunity of a power outage that was finally obtained.

When the maintenance personnel solved the fault and restored the power supply, they still could not find the minor surge or abnormality.

Jiang Baimian no longer stopped Shang Jianyao, took the elevator downstairs with him, and quickly rushed to the street where Du Heng was.

The two of them were quite lucky. When they arrived there, Du Heng had not yet left.

In fact, even if Du Heng left, they were not too worried, because Bai Chen and Long Yuehong still stayed on the roof, observing the whereabouts of this mysterious strong man.

Seeing Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian approaching, Du Heng, who must have been a handsome man when he was young, laughed and said:

"I said who was looking at me, it turned out to be you."

He spoke in gray dialect.

Isn't this too sharp? We also made a disguise... Jiang Baimian smiled and said:

“It’s always exciting to meet old friends in a foreign country.”

"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao agreed deeply.

They also changed back to the gray dialect.

Du Heng looked up at the tall building where Bai Chen and Long Yuehong were, and said with a smile:

"Let your companions come over too. I ate your roast rabbit last time, and I have to treat you to something good this time."

"Quick, there's a big dinner!" Shang Jianyao immediately used the intercom to inform Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and Gnawa.

Soon, the "Old Tune Team" gathered together and invited Du Heng to get into one of the cars. Under the guidance of the other party, they drove to somewhere in the Red Giant Wolf District talking and laughing.

In another car, Long Yuehong sighed suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Bai Chen, who was driving, tilted his head.

Long Yuehong looked forward and said in a complicated tone:

"Du Heng is an acquaintance of ours, and so is Han Wanghuo. Seeing that Du Heng is living so well, I am even more worried about Han Wanghuo. I don't know how he is doing now..."

…………

Green Olive District, a rental house with not so good lighting.

Han Wanghuo, who was already tall and thin, became even thinner.

He poured out two pills, drank them with a glass of water, and swallowed them.

After checking the pistols and rifles he carried with him, Han Wanghuo walked out of the room with a gloomy expression, got into his car, and went all the way to Antana Street.

This time, he did not go to Dr. Metz's clinic. Instead, he relied on his rich experience to find the underground black market and met a businessman who had access to human organs.

"Do you have a heart?" Han Wanghuo asked bluntly.

"Yes, we have all the organs you want. I can't guarantee who they come from, because I don't know. I won't know about these, which will make my conscience condemned, and if I don't do it, there will be many people." Do it." The black marketeer was very talkative and talked a lot.

He is a gray earth race, young, about 24 or 25 years old, 1.75 meters tall, and has a somewhat bookish appearance.

Han Wanghuo was silent for a few seconds and said:

"Are there people who volunteer to donate their hearts?"

"Volunteer?" The black marketeer laughed, "You have reached the point where you need an organ transplant, and this is just dirt. Do you still care about volunteering?"

Han Wanghuo's facial muscles twitched slightly and he asked again:

"Have it?"

"Yes, but only a few. The probability of successful matching is very low." The black marketeer shook his head and said.

Han Wanghuo slowly exhaled and said:

"Then let's see if it's suitable first."
