Embers Ad Infinitum

Long Yuehong was still stunned:

"What scares you away?"

Shang Jianyao opened the door and got out of the car, "I hate that iron cannot become steel" and explained:

"Didn't we realize that someone was spying on us before? But after waiting for a while, the person didn't come over again.

"So, Dabai wants to pretend to be sleeping, lure him to attack, find an opportunity to catch him, and study his specialness, well, if he is really that special 'higher heartless person'.

"Who knew you would actually make a plan yourself and scare him away!"

While Shang Jianyao was talking, Jiang Baimian also got out of the jeep.

"The team leader didn't say that..." Long Yuehong carefully recalled the previous situation and turned her eyes to Jiang Baimian for help.

He thought this was ridiculous. He was just bragging in front of Xiaobai, so how could he scare away a "high-level careless person"?

If the other party really has the ability to "predict", he should not confuse the bragging plan with the plan that can actually be implemented!

Although Bai Chen and Gnawa were a little confused just now, they seemed to have woken up now.

Before Jiang Baimian could answer, Shang Jianyao said happily:

"Understanding! Do you understand, what is understanding?

"You don't know what kind of person Dabai is? He's full of, well, a delicate heart with seven orifices, how can he simply let go of the anomaly? Especially since we all feel that kind of secret gaze.

"You must learn to understand the meaning between the words and have a silent understanding with us."

Is this the joking Shang Jianyao, or the novelty-seeking Shang Jianyao, who actually plays the role of Xiaohong’s elder and teacher... Jiang Baimian glared at Shang Jianyao, cleared his throat and said:

"Don't listen to me, I just want to observe you for a while before going to bed to avoid any accidents."

It turns out what he said is true... Team leader, in order to deceive the enemy, you even deceived your own team members... Long Yuehong suddenly remembered what happened when he faced the mechanical monk Jingfa.

That time, Jiang Baimian planned a fake plan, tricked the mechanical monk into purifying the method by deceiving the team members, and successfully ambush him.

Seeing Bai Chen's expression of recollection, Jiang Baimian hurriedly added:

“And there’s nothing to say about it.

"Do you still remember the mechanical monk Jingfa? He showed excellent 'hearing' at that time and grasped our 'plan'. Also, when we were trapped in the 'Crystal Consciousness Sect' Xikaluo Temple, didn't we also understand Have you ever seen what others saw and heard what others heard?

"Based on my understanding of Buddhist scriptures and the existence of a Buddhist holy land here, the abnormalities should be related to this. I suspect that the ability possessed by that special 'higher unintentional person' is not 'precognition', but 'Heavenly Ear' and 'Heavenly Eyes'. .

"Well, I started to get suspicious after Xiaohong mentioned that Laoge could monitor around the clock and that I could sense bioelectric signals, and that kind of secret gaze disappeared instantly."

"Yeah." Bai Chen and Gnawa both agreed.

Long Yuehong thought about it seriously and felt that it did make sense.

So, the "high-level careless person" heard the bragging I just said and scared him away? Long Yuehong suddenly realized it and felt funny.

However, he still had a little doubt:

"Team leader, that's just a 'high-level mindless'. Why can he understand our words and understand their meaning? This is completely different from the fact that 'precognition' can work through dangerous intuition."

Even if the "high-level unintentional ones" recover a certain amount of intelligence, they should only be able to understand relatively simple words, just like those who follow Xiao Chong.

Jiang Baimian nodded gently and said:

"Since he is a special 'high-level mindless', there must be something 'special' about him. Maybe he is also possessed by something, and the other party acts as a 'translator'."

"You can't underestimate the 'high-level unintentional people'." Shang Jianyao complained, "Xiao Chong's subordinates may evolve again, and maybe they will be able to understand more complex words."

I think what the team leader said is more likely. Not only is this a Buddhist holy land, but something once possessed Liu Lu... Long Yuehong muttered while expressing the corresponding content in a more euphemistic way.

Shang Jianyao, who had changed his personality, did not insist on his opinion, but regretfully said:

"It's a pity that the trap didn't work and he couldn't be caught."

"Forget it, let's go to sleep." Jiang Baimian breathed out, "He probably won't come again tonight."

Regarding this point, the remaining members of the "Old Tune Group" also have similar judgments.

…………

There was nothing to say all night, and at 9:30 the next morning, the "Old Adjustment Team" arrived at Tieshan City Second Food Company half an hour early.

The gate here is still in a collapsed state.

Jiang Baimian and others quickly searched the food company in a quarter of an hour and found that the situation was no different from yesterday.

Then, Shang Jianyao took out the original copy of the medical record and the small jade Buddha and tried it, but it did not cause any changes.

"Did we really enter the illusion yesterday?" Jiang Baimian said regretfully to himself, "Is this the purpose of 'Yougu'?"

While she, Long Yuehong and others were sighing, the dark-colored vehicle of Xu Datong and Li Shouyi drove over.

"How's it going? Have you found anything?" Xu Datong asked kindly and enthusiastically.

When others are enthusiastic, Shang Jianyao will naturally become more enthusiastic:

"No!

"But it doesn't exactly mean that we entered an illusion yesterday!"

Illusion... This is a good explanation... Jiang Baimian took advantage of it and said:

"We caused a change in the illusion, completely reappearing the employee introduction column I mentioned before..."

She told the story exactly what she had experienced yesterday, but she hid it from the Little Jade Buddha and pushed all the problems to the illusion.

Finally, she guessed:

"The reason why we encountered the illusion instead of you may be that we carry with us a medical record from the ruins of the United Steel Plant in Changhe City, which is another Buddhist holy place."

"No wonder..." Xu Datong suddenly realized, "However, what you saw in the illusion seems to be of little value."

Jiang Baimian first shared the contents of the medical record with the other party, and then said:

"We're looking for a correlation between the two."

She didn't mention her team's speculation last night, which was too shocking and lacked evidence.

"Thank you so much." Xu Datong said sincerely, "I wonder if there is anything we can do to help?"

Jiang Baimian thought for a while and said:

"You mentioned before that you have collected several hard drives from the ruins of Tieshan City and restored the data inside. Part of the information you compiled for us before came from here. Can you copy the entire database to us now? ?”

"We have carefully selected the ones we have given to you and think they are of some use. The rest are all miscellaneous and worthless." Xu Datong felt that this was meaningless.

Jiang Baimian cleared his throat and said with a smile:

"To be honest, I am also a folklorist, and I am very interested in the living environment of the old world, and those miscellaneous contents will most likely contain details in this regard."

Xu Datong glanced at her and chuckled:

"All right."

He then asked a Salvation Army member in the car to take out a laptop computer.

Gnawa did his job and walked over with a "firewall" and "anti-virus software" and copied all the information.

"Lao Ge, let's do a few simple screenings of the data now." Jiang Baimian issued the order in front of Xu Datong and others.

"The first keyword is Changhe City." This time it was Shang Jianyao who spoke.

The "old investigation team" has done similar screening before on the Tieshan City intelligence they have, and everyone is very skilled.

"There are only a few business-related contents, which are meaningless." Gnawa quickly gave the result.

Bai Chen immediately said:

"The second keyword is Monteith."

This is the name of the first owner of the "Underground Ark". He once went to Tieshan City to participate in the tender for the reconstruction of the old city, and awakened the ability in the "Bodhi" field after the destruction of the old world.

"No," Gnawa replied.

"The third keyword is foreign businessmen." Jiang Baimian thought for a while and said.

Gnawa quickly completed the search:

"There are several news reports from foreign chambers of commerce that do not involve Montes and the redevelopment of the old city."

Next, the "Old Diao Group" did more screening using keywords such as "Old City Renovation", but to no avail. Xu Datong and Li Shouyi watched patiently.

As time flew by, Jiang Baimian walked back and forth a few steps:

"Key word, foreigner."

Gnawa started searching again.

After a few seconds, he said in a slightly synthetic voice:

"There is a discovery."

"What is it? Shang Jianyao gathered around excitedly.

Gnawa looked up at Jiang Baimian and said:

“There is a post from a local forum in Tieshan City, the topic of which is condemning unfair law enforcement.

"Someone in this post mentioned:

"A foreigner drove without a license before and knocked a pedestrian into a vegetative state. However, he was not sentenced and only paid a sum of money."

A foreigner drove without a license and knocked a pedestrian into a vegetative state? Long Yuehong's pupils dilated, and the hairs on his back stood up instantly.
