Embers Ad Infinitum

Gittes was already used to Shang Jianyao's applause, and finally added:

"I want to prove that women can become true knights and reliable guardians just like men."

"No, you don't need proof." Jiang Baimian smiled, "Don't have such a mentality, because that's how it is, don't you think?"

When the latter question was asked, she looked around.

Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, and Gnawa all nodded.

Jiang Baimian withdrew his gaze and said with an unchanged smile:

"Having a mentality of proving will affect your performance, give you unnecessary pressure, and make you not see broadly enough. Well, I firmly believe that you can become a real knight, and I firmly believe that you can change the 'White Knights' to a certain extent. current situation.”

Jitis seemed to understand Jiang Baimian's words, nodded slightly and said:

"Thanks."

Jiang Baimian asked again casually:

"Did the monk mention what he was doing at Gerstberg?"

"No." Gitis shook her head, "Before I was given the statue by him, I always thought he was an ordinary monk, no different from the monks who occasionally passed by and stayed for a while in the past years, so I didn't ask him about this. question."

"What's wrong with his behavior?" Jiang Baimian asked.

Gittes shook her head again:

“The amount and time of contact we have is minimal.”

"Okay." Jiang Baimian asked no more questions.

Shang Jianyao glanced at Gennava and asked Jitis with concern:

“When the monk gave you the statue, who else saw it?

"In the past three years, has anyone accidentally noticed you carrying a statue with you?"

"No." Gitis smiled lightly, "If such a person existed, I would have become a bounty long ago."

Shang Jianyao immediately made a show-off gesture to Jiang Baimian, meaning, "Look, the information obtained from the Sheriff is of no use. It's a waste of a big knight's gold coin and part of Lao Ge's battery."

Jiang Baimian gave him a sideways look and said that investigating a matter was a matter of trial and error until he found the right direction.

She turned to Kittis and said:

"I'll give you that biological agent tomorrow morning."

"No problem." Jitis has obvious trust in them.

The "Old Tune Team" then said goodbye to Kitty and returned to the suite upstairs.

After sitting down, Jiang Baimian breathed a long sigh of relief and said sincerely:

"Our two major goals of reaching Gerstburg have been initially accomplished."

The "old team" came to Gerstburg to investigate two things. One was what Shang Jianyao's father's team came here to inquire about, and what was the main purpose of going to Konimis? The other was the eighth Information related to the institute.

Now, through Gitis, the "old tune team" has mastered what information Shang Jianyao's father's team found in Gerstburg, who they mainly visited in Cornimis, and how to seize Moore's line. Jiang Baimian and others took control of the two special commissioners Murray and Benito, intending to use them as bait to find out the specific location of the Eighth Research Institute.

This basically achieved the set goal of the "old tune group".

"Yes, yes." Long Yuehong nodded in agreement, "Everything is going well. It depends on when the Eighth Research Institute will reply to Murray and Benito's telegram."

He glanced at Shang Jianyao, considered it and said:

"I don't know how many days we have to wait. Why don't we go to Cornimis first and find the luxurious apartment where Zhi Sui's son lives while there is still time?"

Jiang Baimian, who knew he had good intentions, smiled and said:

"Conynmis won't run away, so it doesn't matter if he goes later, but the reply from the Eighth Research Institute may come at any time."

"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao agreed.

"What we need to discuss now is how to use Murray and Benito to bypass the heavy firewalls of the Eighth Institute and lock their specific locations." Gnawa made a slightly synthetic voice.

Jiang Baimian and others fell into silence at the same time and began to think seriously.

After a while, Jiang Baimian considered and said:

"Relying solely on our own abilities, it is indeed difficult to deal with the secret censorship and filtering of the Eighth Research Institute, but what if we have 'clairvoyance'?"

Bai Chen suddenly woke up:

"Team leader, do you mean to borrow the Bodhi statue from Kitis?"

"Yes." Jiang Baimian nodded lightly, "Abilities in the 'Bodhi' field are quite useful in this kind of things, especially 'Heavenly Eyes', 'Heavenly Ears', and 'Other Minds' will not let the target appear at all. Abnormal abilities."

In other words, under the influence of "Heavenly Eyes" and "Heavenly Ears" with such a large coverage area, the "Old Tune Team" does not need to control Murray and Benito at all. It can completely restore them to normal and "follow" them from a distance .

And in this way, they can pass covert censorship and filtering.

"Will Kittis borrow it?" Long Yuehong thought this was the biggest question.

"We are already friends!" Shang Jianyao emphasized.

Jiang Baimian said "hmm":

"While the Eighth Research Institute hasn't responded yet, keep in touch with Gitis to enhance mutual trust, and then provide collateral with sufficient value."

"That nuclear bomb?" Shang Jianyao was horrified.

"Why do you always think about nuclear bombs? Our other things are worthless?" Jiang Baimian replied angrily.

After discussing this matter for a few words, Bai Chen changed the topic:

"What should we do with Murray and Benito?"

Jiang Baimian had already prepared a draft and said with a smile:

"Looking for an opportunity, it would be best to ask Gitis for some help, so that Murray and Benito can accidentally discover something is wrong and find contradictions, so as to break free from Feed's 'thought implant'.

“This way, their experiences are logical and testable.”

"Not a bad idea." Long Yuehong praised the team leader.

"But there is a problem." Shang Jianyao said coldly, "After Murray and Benito reported this matter to the Eighth Research Institute, the Eighth Research Institute may not be in a hurry to recall them, but quietly organize Manpower, come to Gerstburg to surround us and catch us off guard."

Dangdangdang, Gennava applauded Shang Jianyao.

This is indeed a possible situation.

"After getting Murray and Benito back to normal, ask Gitis to use the 'Tianer Tong' to monitor their situation? This way, we can grasp the trends of the Eighth Research Institute as soon as possible." Long Yuehong suggested.

"What if the Eighth Research Institute doesn't let Murray and Benito participate in the mission to eliminate us at all? They are only at the 'Sea of ​​Origin' level anyway." Shang Jianyao retorted.

Jiang Baimian thought for a while and said:

"Please ask Kittis to help us predict our destiny in the future?

"I don't believe that anyone sent by the Eighth Research Institute can hide the prophecy."

In short, without the help of Kittis, or the assistance of the Bodhi statue, the "Old Tune Team" really wouldn't be able to do much against the Eighth Research Institute.

After all, this is also a hidden power.

Jiang Baimian's original idea was to take advantage of the slow-onset characteristics of "hypocritical people" - to restore Murray and Benito to normal, and then use "hypocritical people" to influence them until they return to the Eighth Research Institute Or after seeing the pick-up person, they gradually behave irrationally and expose their location to the "old tune team".

The biggest problem with this plan is that once Murray and Benito leave Shang Jianyao's influence, their hypocrisy will no longer be controlled by the "Old Tune Team". It is difficult for Jiang Baimian and others to predict how this will manifest itself. .

After discussing and formulating corresponding plans, several members of the "old tune team" entered their respective rooms.

"Now that I have free time, can I continue to explore the 'soul corridor'?" Shang Jianyao asked Jiang Baimian for instructions.

Jiang Baimian said "hmm":

"Can."

"Okay!" Shang Jianyao lay down on the bed excitedly.

…………

In the "Soul Corridor", he once again came outside the room "205".

This most likely belongs to the "dawn" of February.

Shang Jianyao was divided into ten parts and surrounded the vermilion door.

"We have to go in after all. The traces of the executives' interference are becoming more and more obvious." The reckless Shang Jianyao encouraged his colleagues.

The calm and rational Shang Jianyao rubbed his chin and said:

"I think it's going to have to wait."

"When?" Honest Shang Jianyao asked.

The calm and rational Shang Jianyao slowly exhaled:

“Wait until the location of the Eighth Research Institute is determined, and wait until Cornynmis is explored.

"At that time, no matter what happens in this room, we will die without regrets."

"I've never seen you afraid of death before." The timid and cowardly Shang Jianyao sneered.

The calm and rational Shang Jianyao smiled:

"Maybe it's because we are getting closer and closer to the answer, so we have expectations and concerns."

"Make yourself like a philosopher." The honest Shang Jianyao said one thing.

However, most of Shang Jianyao still agreed with the calm and rational person's statement, and decided to lock in the location of the Eighth Research Institute. After figuring out his father's whereabouts, he then explored room "205".

Just like the previous times, they chose rooms around them that they had not yet entered to explore.

…………

After dawn, the "Old Tune Team" had breakfast and returned to the hotel. They met Gitis who had just completed the handover and led her to her jeep.

Jiang Baimian dug out the biological agent and gave two to Kitis:

"One dose is used every three days. It takes about half a day to see some effect, and the effect reaches its peak on the third day."

"Okay." Jitis took the medicine and carefully put it into her backpack.

At this time, Shang Jianyao said frankly like a friend:

"We may have to borrow your Bodhi statue for some time."

Seeing Kittis's wary gaze, he hurriedly added:

"We will give you collateral of sufficient value and sell it in exchange for the latest genetically modified medicine plus certain drugs and biological agents."

"Military exoskeleton device?" Jitis frowned slightly.

Shang Jianyao was "shocked":

"how do you know?"

He immediately answered himself:

"Yes, you are still Esther."
