Embers Ad Infinitum

　　 Jiang Baimian instinctively made an "ah" mouth shape, but quickly closed it without making a sound.

　　 She turned her gaze to the front again, turned smoothly past a bush, and then smiled casually:

　　 "I always feel that I may have a hidden talent, which is to make people feel close, and I will feel at ease by my side, and I am willing to say some of the backlogs of distress in my heart."

　　 "It's not something that must be strictly kept secret." Shang Jianyao didn't agree with Jiang Baimian's statement, but because of this, he got rid of the situation created by the previous words.

"Haha, kidding." Jiang Baimian nodded as if thinking, "In fact, everyone has gone through two distresses together, and you have exposed the secret of the Awakened. Therefore, there is a fairly good trust between each other. Have you ever heard such a sentence, the way to quickly bring two people closer together is to let them share a little secret. Also, this is a friend in need."

　　 Just now, the serious Shang Jian Yao laughed suddenly:

　　 "How can you be sure that this kind of trust was not created by me with the power of the Awakened?"

"..." Jiang Baimian recalled carefully and found that this possibility could not be ruled out. After all, the scene where Shang Jianyao and the mechanical monk Jingfa shook hands and said goodbye was really impressive, and Shang Jianyao also said that if he could The formation of a cycle in the surrounding interpersonal interaction proves that the affected people can hardly detect the abnormality on their own, and only when they are separated from the corresponding environment can they discover what is wrong.

　　 "Haha, just kidding." Shang Jianyao responded to her in Jiang Baimian's way.

　　 Jiang Baimian turned his head white and gave him a glance:

　　 "I almost drew my gun, you know?"

　　 She retracted her gaze and said to herself:

　　 "Although you are indeed joking, I have to guard against similar situations... How many logical verifications I set up?

"Well... the easiest way is to record key information on paper or in a chip every day, and look at it before going to bed. In this way, if there is a contradiction, you can wake up immediately. I have to say, diary. It's still very useful."

　　 "The abilities of the awakened are not omnipotent." Shang Jianyao added.

　　 Jiang Baimian did not say much, and continued to search for clues in this hilly area with Shang Jianyao.

　　 Almost an hour later, she looked around and said:

　　 "The surrounding area is really too big, and the environment is also complicated. Just relying on the two of us walking step by step, there is no way to complete an effective search without ten and a half months."

　　 Shang Jian Yao didn't speak, because he saw the group leader's face still smiling, obviously there was a way.

　　 Sure enough, Jiang Baimian cast his gaze on him and said with a smile:

　　 "We go back to the hill where the emergency signal flare was set."

　　 Seeing Yao's heart moved, Shang realized something vaguely.

　　 Jiang Baimian continued:

　　 "There will definitely be a lot of relic hunters and wilderness wanderers there, just to ask them for information, and see what large bandit groups or dangerous teams have appeared in the surrounding area recently."

　　Speaking of this, she showed the same smile that she had had after severely injuring the purification method:

"If you are the leader of the attacker team, and you saw an abnormality in the place where you made a big ticket deal and deliberately erased the traces of the team, would you send some unrelated people to the area where the emergency signal flare was launched to investigate the specifics? The situation? Anyway, there will be a large number of ruin hunters and wilderness wanderers passing by, mixing in it, and no one can tell.

　　 "At that time, if we can use this to grasp which big power is behind Black Mouse Town, we can also make some targeted preparations in advance."

　　 Shang Jian Yao suddenly realized:

　　 "They will not send their core members to investigate, or even find people who vassalize them. The most likely thing is to directly hire real wild wanderers who are active nearby."

　　 In this way, even if it is a trap, there will be no problems, just like no one can find a drop of water with a unique nature but no abnormal appearance in a lake.

　　 After seeing Yao wanting to understand, Shang asked with some confusion:

　　 "Team leader, you should have thought about this a long time ago, why don't we just guard over there?"

"Where did those relic hunters and wilderness wanderers come so quickly? It doesn't make sense to wait over there. It's better to search for this with your familiarity." Jiang Baimian flipped his wrist and looked at the black electronic watch. "The time is almost the same. Now, let's go over."

　　 After returning to the hill where the emergency signal flare was fired, Shang Jianyao discovered that the previous search was actually leaning here - after the two changed their directions slightly, they reached their destination in only ten minutes on foot.

　　 In other words, Jiang Baimian did not think of related issues temporarily, but had planned for it, and even the search route was planned in advance.

　　 After observing for a few minutes, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian found the best position, climbed a tree, and monitored several roads leading to this hill.

　　 After another quarter of an hour, relic hunters and wilderness wanderers arrived one after another, heading for the top of the hills.

　　 They are all very careful, they are quite distinct from each other but do not violate each other. After all, it is uncertain whether there are gains around the abnormal point. It is too stupid to fight first.

　　 After a while, Jiang Baimian patted Shang Jian Yao on the shoulder, and pointed to the road on the left.

　　 She didn't speak, because she couldn't determine how loud her voice was, so she could only use gestures.

　　 Shang Jian Yao then looked over, and saw two sneaky and cowering male wilderness wanderers.

They don’t know their specific age from the outside. They have rough, chapped, tanned skin, greasy and greasy hair, messy and tangled edges, and beards on their faces that have not been shaved for an unknown period of time. Various stains.

　　 One of them was wearing a dark blue ripped sweater. Inside was a greasy shirt that was so hard that the original color was not visible. The outside was covered with waistless, obviously unfit black clothes, and army green rubber shoes underneath. He had a black pistol with metallic sheen pinned to his waist, and a long, flaky knife was in his palm.

　　 Shang Jianyao thinks this is very similar to the watermelon knife in the textbook.

　　 Another old black quilted jacket was tightly wrapped. Through the obvious big holes, you can see that the cotton inside is compressed in one piece and the hair is black and tight. He didn't seem to have a gun. He had a sharply polished dagger on his waist, a baseball bat in both hands, and a dirty, extremely dry pocket on his shoulders.

　　 "Yes, is there any problem?" Shang Jianyao asked in a low voice.

　　 This is almost the same as the wilderness wanderers who came before, but it is a bit more shabby.

　　 "I..." Jiang Baimian made a voice, with a clear questioning meaning in his tone.

　　 Shang Jian Yao Miao understood what the group leader meant, and said quickly:

　　 "A little bit lower."

　　 After two "debugging", Jiang Baimian finally suppressed his voice:

　　 "Don't you think the equipment of these two wilderness wanderers is too bad?"

　　 "Isn't it normal for the Wilderness Rangers to be poorly equipped?" Shang Jian Yao asked rhetorically.

　　 "Right." Jiang Baimian didn't deny it, and while looking at the two wanderers, he said carefully, "The point is that there is a contradiction between their behavior and their equipment.

　　 "Under normal circumstances, the wilderness wanderers who only have a small pistol and a few cold weapons dare not rush to such an abnormal place in the first place. As long as there is a fight, they have almost no ability to protect themselves.

"For this kind of wilderness wanderers, they will come back in half a day or even a day later to see if they can get some leftovers. At that time, the rivals are all similar people, and they will not be without resistance. ."

　　 Shang Jian Yao nodded slightly:

　　"It’s like many animals, feeding on the rotting corpses left behind after the hunting of beasts.

　　 "In other words, there is a certain probability that these two wilderness wanderers were forced to come here?"

　　 And who would be okay to force two incompetent wilderness wanderers to investigate the anomaly?

　　 Jiang Baimian, this is to embed the teaching in practice, and laughed at the words:

"Correct.

　　 "Can you make them friendly and tell us directly about the situation?"

　　Shang Jianyao looked at the two wilderness wanderers getting closer and said calmly:

　　 "If there is only one, no problem.

　　"If both of them are there, there is a high possibility that they will witness each other, leading to the failure of'reasoning'.

　　 "If you separate, you can affect one first, and then get together to affect the other one."

　　 Jiang Baimian made an "OK" gesture:

　　 "This is easy~www.readwn.com~ to change the gun."

　　 After speaking, she and Shang Jianyao exchanged grenade guns and assault rifles.

　　 In the next second, Jiang Baimian jumped down suddenly and fell in front of the two wilderness wanderers.

　　 After landing, she quickly raised the assault rifle and pointed coldly at the man wearing a ripped sweater with a pistol on his waist.

　　Almost at the same time, she turned her waist slightly and kicked her right leg like a whip that was suddenly tightened.

　　 This kick was undoubtedly missed, but the man with the baseball bat was frightened to retreat and fell to the ground.

　　 He glanced at the assault rifle in Jiang Baimian's hand, gave up his companion without hesitation, and even stumbling and bumping his head, he didn't dare to go back and run away.

　　Don't use the pistol, the man with the watermelon knife was always pointed at by the assault rifle, and he dared not move.

　　 At this time, Shang Jian Yao jumped down and said with a smile:

"do not worry.

　　 "We are not malicious."

　　 He motioned to Jiang Baimian to lower his muzzle, and while the opposite man was at a loss, he said:

　　 "Look, you are here to search for information, and we are also here to search for information.

　　 "You are human, and we are also human.

"and so……"

　　 The man's expression gradually became vivid, and finally he smiled:

　　 "Brother!"

When 　　 called out this name, he subconsciously glanced at Jiang Baimian, only to see that the other party had put away the assault rifle, did not show the slightest hostility, so he trusted his own reasoning and judgment even more.

　　 "Brother!" Shang Jian Yao learned from each other and greeted enthusiastically, "Who made you come here?"
