Looking at the "senior hunter" in front of him, Jiang Baimian raised his hand and touched his ears:
"Huh? What did you say?"
The rhetoric that the "senior hunter" had prepared was blocked back.
At this time, Shang Jianyao turned his body sideways and helped "translate":
"He asked us what we found in that woman's room?"
Jiang Baimian made a look of sudden enlightenment, and said with a smile:
"The clues we found have been submitted to the guild.
"When they finish reviewing and announcing it, you will know what they are."
The black-haired and blue-eyed "senior hunter" gave them a deep look, stopped asking, turned his body, and prepared to leave.
"It's really rude." At this time, Shang Jianyao suddenly said a sentence.
"Where is it rude?" Jiang Baimian asked quite cooperatively.
"Isn't it common sense to introduce yourself before asking questions to others?" Shang Jianyao replied seriously.
He didn't seem to have any fear of being dragged out and beaten by the other party.
The "senior hunter" paused in his footsteps, did not turn around, and said sullenly:
"Odick."
"He speaks quite well in gray dialect." Shang Jianyao was already chatting with Jiang Baimian about other things.
Jiang Baimian said "hmm":
"He looks like a mixed-race child, maybe Grey is his native language."
Odick turned his back to them, was silent for a few seconds, and finally walked away.
When the "senior hunter" moved away from the seating area at the edge of the hall, Jiang Baimian chuckled and said:
"I understand it quite well, my ability to taunt is very good.
"Haha, you didn't introduce yourself when you asked people."
Shang Jianyao replied seriously:
"Brothers don't need to introduce themselves."
"......" Jiang Baimian could not refute.
She pretended not to have communicated with Shang Jianyao about this matter, and moved her legs boredly, waiting for the review results to come out.
Suddenly, she raised her head and looked at the ceiling of the hall.
After a few seconds, she said with a slight confusion:
"A group of people passed by......
"There is one in it, and the electrical signal pattern is different from that of humans, not even like from animals...... Robot?"
Shang Jianyao also looked up at the ceiling and said:
"It's all human consciousness."
Jiang Baimian brushed his head sideways and looked at Shang Jianyao:
"Are they all human?"
"I can make them hypocritical at this distance." Shang Jianyao answered the question.
Jiang Baimian easily understood what he meant, frowned slightly, and said:
"Human consciousness...... Non-human electrical signals ......"
When these two descriptions are combined, there seems to be only one answer left:
"Eternal Man"!
Or rather, the mechanical monks of the Monk Order!
"Could it be an old friend?" Jiang Baimian asked himself and replied, "No, the pure law has gone crazy in this environment."
The clerks of the Hunter's Guild have a large number of women.
"You can go up and ask." Shang Jianyao made a suggestion.
Jiang Baimian glanced at him, disdainful of answering at all.
She said "hmm" and thought:
"It doesn't have to be a mechanical monk.
"Not all of the original 'eternal people' converted to the Order, and there are individual exceptions......"
At this time, the group of people upstairs was already out of their sense range.
Because of the lack of sufficient intelligence, Jiang Baimian did not discuss this matter again.
She observed the comings and goings of relic hunters and tried to summarize some customs and customs from them.
After another ten minutes, sounds came from loudspeakers all over the hall:
"Please submit new clues to Liu Dazhuang's mission to Su Xiaoman on Channel 11 to receive the reward."
Jiang Baimian stood up, took out his hunter badge, and walked quickly to the Yuantai area.
"How much money do you have?" She asked Su Xiaoman with a smile.
Su Xiaoman replied with a smile:
"100 Ore.
"Then, two of you on your team, each of you will get 100 credits.
"Congratulations, you are already an 'official hunter'!"
Jiang Baimian did not hide his smile:
"Not bad."
The four of them, just eating a day, almost have to spend 4 olei, plus the rent, consuming nearly 5 olei a day, 100 olei can make them last for another three weeks.
After handing over the hunter badge to Su Xiaoman and brushing it by her, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao became "official hunters".
Then, they took the list issued by Su Xiaoman and their hunter badge to the financial window in the inner area on the first floor to receive a thick stack of banknotes.
- Ore is dark green with a maximum denomination of 10, but they are also given denominations of 5 and 1.
Back in the mission area, Jiang Baimian found that the clues he submitted had been announced, and even the names of Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei were added.
Jiang Baimian was about to sigh to Shang Jianyao when he suddenly saw the "senior hunter" coming over again.
Odick, who was wearing a dark duffle coat, stopped in front of them and asked:
"You didn't find anything in that woman's room?"
Jiang Baimian didn't pretend not to hear it this time, because the other party's voice was quite loud.
She smiled and said:
"Asking for valuable clues requires corresponding rewards, isn't this common sense among relic hunters?"
Without waiting for Odick's response, she smiled and added:
"I have now received a reward of 100 Ore, and I will only receive equal clues as a reward after that."
Odick fell silent and did not speak.
"It seems that you haven't thought about it yet, come to us when you think about it." Jiang Baimian smiled and greeted him as he passed the other party.
Shang Jianyao followed her and left the Hunter Guild with her.
When he arrived on the street, Jiang Baimian looked back and said thoughtfully:
"Before the new clues were announced, this 'senior hunter' knew about Lin Feifei's existence, and he was sure that we went to Lin Feifei's room......
"He got along well with the executives of the local hunter guild and knew the clues we submitted in advance?
"No, if that's the case, he should have known long ago that we only mentioned the gunman's companion and didn't talk about the follow-up search......
"It seems he knows something? Or did he find other traces and was very quick to determine that the gunman had a female companion?"
At this point, Jiang Baimian looked sideways at Shang Jianyao and found that he was looking at him intently.
"What's wrong?" As soon as Jiang Baimian said this, he felt that he shouldn't have asked.
Shang Jianyao sighed:
"You just said everything I wanted to say."
"I'll give you a chance to speak next time." Jiang Baimian said perfunctorily, then smiled instead, "You didn't even ask me why I didn't report the flyer in Lin Feifei's room to the guild."
Shang Jianyao glanced at Jiang Baimian strangely:
"I'm not Long Yuehong."
「…… Didn't you say that you don't speak ill of your friends behind your back?" Jiang Baimian was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile as he walked towards the central square.
Shang Jianyao replied seriously:
"I'm just describing his usual performance truthfully."
"Hey, I've only done genetic improvement for 175 ......" After hearing this, Jiang Baimian added very cooperatively.
Halfway through, she burst out laughing uncontrollably.
Soon, they returned to South Street and found Bai Chen and Long Yuehong.
After looking at each other, Jiang Baimian took them around the alley opposite the slave market and met in a secluded corner.
She took out the stack of banknotes and displayed them:
"100 Ore!"
"I'm rich." Long Yue was happy from the bottom of his heart.
"Also, Shang Jianyao and I both got 100 credit points and became 'official hunters'." Jiang Baimian added with a smile.
Long Yuehong said with a slight sense of disappointment:
"I'm the only one who is still a novice."
"The next clue will be handed over by you and Bai Chen." Jiang Baimian smiled and comforted.
She then described what information she had submitted.
Hearing the end, Long Yuehong was quite confused:
"Team leader, why don't you report that leaflet? This can activate the relic hunters and find out the organization as soon as possible."
"Sure enough......" Shang Jianyao suddenly said an inexplicable sentence.
Jiang Baimian held back his smile, looked at Long Yuehong, who was a little confused, took a silent breath, and spat it out again.
She then explained:
"I'm not sure if that flyer was intentionally left by Lin Feifei.
"And intention is also divided into two situations, one is to mislead the investigators behind them, and the other is to give clues and save themselves.
"If it is the latter possibility, it will bring danger to Lin Feifei after the news spreads widely."
"That's right......" Long Yuehong once again sighed in her heart that the team leader was thoughtful.
Jiang Baimian continued:
"When the company replies to the telegram, we have the specific situation of the organization, and then consider whether to submit this clue based on the actual situation."
"Hmm." Long Yue is sincerely convinced.
Jiang Baimian glanced at Bai Chen, thought for a moment and said:
"Did you just find anything?
"We met a 'senior hunter' in the guild, and he directly asked us what we found in Lin Feifei's room......"
When sharing this matter, Jiang Baimian described the general appearance of Odick, and wanted Long Yuehong and Bai Chen to pay attention to this person in the future.
The more Long Yuehong listened, the more surprised she became:
"I've seen him!
"He bought clothes in the 'used clothing shop' in Hongluo Lane."
Shang Jianyao immediately asked:
"What was abnormal at that time?"
"There's nothing unusual......" Long Yuehong recalled, "The owner of that store was dozing off, and then he woke me up."
"Dozing off when there are guests?" Jiang Baimian repeated this detail in a questioning tone.
"I also think it's a bit strange, but we don't know if the boss slept well last night." Long Yuehong expressed her thoughts, "Moreover, that person didn't do anything at the time, and he woke up the boss and paid for the clothes."
After listening carefully, Jiang Baimian laughed, turned his head to Shang Jianyao and said:
"You go ask that boss later.
"If she slept well last night, but suddenly became sleepy just now and couldn't control herself, then things would be interesting."
Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian looked around and said with a smile:
"I suspect that the 'High Hunter' named Odick is an Awakened person with abilities similar to those of the Sleeping Cat and the Nightmare Horse."
