After walking more than ten meters, Jiang Baimian smiled without looking back:
"Judging from the reaction, she should have gotten rid of the influence."
Without waiting for Shang Jianyao to speak, Jiang Baimian turned to say:
"They are really rough in doing things, I thought they would 'ask' Xiaohong by the way, but it ended like this, and I prepared for nothing."
"Isn't this a good thing?" Shang Jianyao asked very cooperatively.
"Of course it's a good thing." Jiang Baimian smiled and said, "I just want to tell you, don't be like Odick, be overconfident in your abilities, there should be a process and steps, which can help you check and fill in the gaps. Hmm...... Whether it is a 'reasoning clown' or two other abilities, if you prepare in advance, you can restrain them to a certain extent, or they won't be affected much."
Shang Jianyao looked sideways at the team leader and responded seriously:
"I still have companions I can rely on to protect my flanks and back, and charge together."
「…… Do you want your memory to be so good? It's embarrassing to say that suddenly, okay?" Jiang Baimian tasted what it means to attack his shield with his spear.
As they spoke, they walked into the Hunter Guild, intending to grasp the changes in the situation brought about by Eugene's death from the release of the mission, and find new clues related to Leiyun Pine Forest Feifei.
Before he could browse the content on the big screen, Jiang Baimian saw Odic coming down from the second floor and walking this way.
She smiled and took the initiative to say hello:
"Good morning, are there any new clues?"
Odick shook his head:
"I didn't find it.
"What about you?"
Jiang Baimian said calmly:
"We went to the bar area last night and asked, and no one saw anyone suspected of Lin Feifei."
Odick glanced at the two people opposite, and suddenly asked:
"You can't do Eugene's thing, right?"
It happened to be a combination of a man and a woman, and it was on the other side of Wolf Alley.
Jiang Baimian laughed:
"Before I was asked yesterday, I didn't know this person at all."
Odick's eyes swept around the faces of Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian, who were cleaner and more beautiful than most of the relic hunters, and nodded invisibly:
"You really have no motive."
Of course, Jiang Baimian was unwilling to continue this topic, and said with a smile:
"I can give you a piece of information related to Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei.
"But you have to promise to exchange messages of equal value."
Odick didn't agree directly, but asked rhetorically:
"This is the information you got before?"
He didn't quite believe that the two people on the opposite side could find new clues faster than himself.
He has absolute confidence in tracking the whereabouts of his target.
"Hmm." Jiang Baimian smiled and nodded.
"Okay." Odic agreed.
Jiang Baimian looked around and pretended to be very cautious, and said:
"Lei Yunsong, Lin Feifei, and others visited a certain high-ranking official of the guild more than a month ago.
"I don't know who it is."
Shang Jianyao glanced at the team leader's left hand in his pocket, not revealing that she was actually using Odic to complete the investigation of this line.
As a "high-level hunter", Odick always has the opportunity to deal with the high-ranking officials of the local hunter guild.
"I visited the guild executives......" Odick repeated thoughtfully, his expression slightly confused.
Then, he politely raised his hand and shook it gently:
"Thank you, see you next time."
"Where's the news for us?" Jiang Baimian was not surprised, but a little curious.
The corners of Odick's mouth moved slightly, and he smiled slightly:
"When I figure out who the executive is and what the communication is, I will tell you.
"Isn't this the information you want the most?"
"Deal!" Jiang Baimian's smile remained unchanged.
When Odic turned around and left, she sighed to Shang Jianyao beside her:
"He's still a little smart......"
"Without any cleverness, he would have died long ago with his ability alone." Shang Jianyao replied.
"It's ...... too too" Jiang Baimian nodded in agreement.
After browsing the tasks scrolling on the big screen, Jiang Baimian turned his wrist to look at the time, led Shang Jianyao, left the Hunter Guild, walked to the central square, and found a street chair to sit down.
After another quarter of an hour, she stood up and said:
"I'll go to the library."
"Is there a toilet there?" Shang Jianyao suddenly asked.
"Yes......" Jiang Baimian is not so sure.
Shang Jianyao nodded slightly:
"Remember to observe later.
"People who like libraries won't be confused about this issue."
Jiang Baimian wanted to laugh and scold this strange theory, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made some sense.
Because the library is the place where she and Chen Xufeng "connect" and exchange information, she always felt that she couldn't stay there for too long, and left in a hurry both times, only paying attention to the possible escape route in case of accidents.
This would seem a bit suspicious.
How can you enter the library, come out in less than ten minutes, and haven't borrowed a book yet?
"Yes, my thinking has become more meticulous." Jiang Baimian did not hesitate to praise himself, and then said with a smile, "When we were talking just now, I always felt like we had taken the script backwards."
Shang Jianyao glanced at her strangely:
"I just wanted to go to the toilet and thought of this question."
Saying that, he also stood up.
Without waiting for Jiang Baimian to "scold", he added:
"I'm trying to learn your way of thinking."
Jiang Baimian's eyebrows and eyes softened:
"Very good.
"But don't abandon your own characteristics, so that they can complement each other, two Jiang Baimian are definitely not as strong as one Jiang Baimian and one Shang Jian Yaoqiang."
"You forgot Bai Chen and Long Yuehong." Shang Jianyao pointed out.
Jiang Baimian rolled his eyes and looked up, too lazy to argue about this question.
After entering the library and waiting for Shang Jianyao to ask the administrator where the toilet was, Jiang Baimian strolled around the bookshelf area leisurely, picking up a book he had never read from time to time and flipping through it, fully enjoying the joy of wandering in the ocean of knowledge.
After a long time, she walked to a familiar place, and in a familiar position, she picked up the "Internal Revenue Code" and took out the folded paper inside.
She quickly unfolded the paper and browsed through it:
"The company's feedback is as follows:
"The 'Anti-Intellectual Religion', like the 'Order of Foolish Beings' and the 'Cult of Truth and Nothingness', are both religious organizations that believe in the people of the end of the March Dynasty, but there are certain differences in specific concepts, and the main areas of dissemination are also generally different, and some intersect......
"This sect believes that the destruction of the old world stems from human thinking and the pursuit of knowledge, and hopes to solve this problem at its root......
"There are a certain number of awakened people within them, and their abilities are very mixed, but it can be seen that most of them are in the fields of hypnosis and memory......
"Two years ago, this sect assassinated the elder Sauls, who led civic education, in the original city, and was hit hard and disappeared for a long time......
"It is said that the believer who led the assassination is still alive, and he is a very dangerous and extreme figure.
"His gender is male, his appearance is unknown, his height is unknown, and his nickname is 'Priest'......"
"Priest...... hypnosis, memory ......" Jiang Baimian repeated these words silently, and his expression became quite solemn.
At this moment, she had a new understanding of the abnormalities in Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei.
Putting away the paper, she strolled around the library for a while before going out to meet Shang Jianyao, who had already gone to the toilet.
She didn't mention the information she had just received, and took Shang Jianyao back to the second floor of the "Ah Fu Gun Shop".
After closing the door, she took out the paper and handed it to Shang Jianyao:
"Take a look first."
The weather was cloudy today, and the light in the house was insufficient, so Shang Jianyao walked all the way to the window before looking down at the contents of the paper.
"What do you think?" Seeing that he was almost looking at it, Jiang Baimian asked.
Shang Jianyao said seriously:
"I want to beat up the man named 'Priest'."
Jiang Baimian is no surprise at such words:
"It's not necessarily him who is in charge here."
"Just think it is." Shang Jianyao tried hard to persuade the team leader.
Jiang Baimian "followed the good as the flow" and said twice:
"From this point of view, Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei are likely to have been hypnotized, or they have been tampered with in their memories.
"Therefore, they can move freely, but they do not contact the company.
"The question is, what about the three remaining team members? Why are there no traces of them at all?
"'Anti-Intellectual Sect' hypnotized Lin Feifei and the others, what is the purpose? It's not just about finding some gunmen, right?"
Shang Jianyao disagreed:
"With their IQ, this is possible."
"This is troublesome, I can't infer the thinking of this kind of person......" Jiang Baimian said a little embarrassed, "But at present, the 'Anti-Intellectual Sect' is just to let ordinary believers give up thinking, and the chosen ones inside are responsible for guiding them, they should not be stupid."
Speaking of this, she remembered something:
"Do you remember being suspected of being attacked in the company?"
"I remember." Shang Jianyao suddenly became interested, "Could it be that he is a spy installed by the Doomsday Sect in the Order of Life?"
"It's not that much...... Now it seems that although the awakened people within each religious organization are mostly in the field of the corresponding age, there are quite a few exceptions...... I don't know if the awakening can only be guided and cannot be accurately controlled, or if it is intentional from the top management, so as not to be too pure and will be restrained by hostile forces?" Jiang Baimian thought and said, "In short, I have to remind Xiaobai and Xiaohong to make some preparations later to prevent the effects of hypnosis or memory."
When it was almost noon, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong came back and reported the various news they had heard in the morning:
"There are three main people suspected of Eugene's disappearance.
"One is Zhao Zhengqi, the head of the Zhao Mansion on North Street. He is a member of the Noble Council of Weeds City, and he is also organizing slave hunting, and is a competitor to Eugene's gang, and has caused a lot of unhappiness.
"The second is Sun Jing, the younger brother of Sun Fei, the leader of the underground trading market. He has a bar and a nightclub in Wolf Lane, and he has a gang of thugs, which is very powerful. He is suspected because his favorite daughter disappeared more than two years ago and is suspected of being kidnapped by Eugene.
"The third is some people in the noble council. They deliberately made Eugene disappear, hoping to use this as an excuse to get the slave trappers and the army of the original city into the city to achieve an ulterior motive."
After hearing this, Jiang Baimian said funny:
"It's really convincing, I almost believed it was one of these three, if we weren't the real culprit."
