Chapter 185 Principals
Jiang Baimian's rebuttal to the hotel owner seemed to have been expected, and said with a smile:
"I thought that as a smuggling center, I could get cheap robots, military exoskeleton devices and smart armor."
The hotel owner said again through the loudspeaker high in the room:
"It's not a bargain, and it's very popular, for me, it's good now, I don't need to waste a lot of materials and rare connections to make improvements."
"That's right......" Jiang Baimian nodded in satisfaction.
Through this conversation, she determined two things:
First, it is indeed possible to get a military exoskeleton device in the Red Stone Collection; second, it is very popular, and it is impossible to get it without corresponding connections and sufficient supplies.
Jiang Baimian deliberately commented "loudly" just now, in order to make some words like this.
She is not as cheap-mouthed as Shang Jianyao, and she can't control herself.
The hotel owner was quite vigilant, didn't say any more, and repeated the previous question:
"How many rooms do you want, how many nights do you want?"
"Two, twin beds, with bathroom, let's do it for a week." Jiang Baimian has long considered this issue.
The innkeeper replied through the loudspeaker:
"What supplies can you give?"
"Military cans." Shang Jianyao did not hesitate to give a quick answer.
During the time when I went south, the "old tune group" got a little tired of canned food again.
"It must not have been opened." The hotel owner emphasized that he would not be simply poisoned.
She continued:
"1 can per room per night, 14 cans in total.
"You open the metal door on the wall, put the can in, and close the door."
Jiang Baimian motioned for Shang Jianyao to open the window-like metal door on the wall.
Inside is a hollowed-out platform with the same metal door on the other side of the platform.
Shang saw that Yao was not in a hurry to retreat, and took the initiative to say:
"We still want masks."
"Four masks are considered gifts." The innkeeper replied.
Shang saw Yao for a moment of joy and asked curiously:
"If I don't ask, will you take the initiative to send it?"
"No." The innkeeper was very calm.
Shang Jianyao wanted to say something, but Long Yuehong, who was hinted by Jiang Baimian, had already taken a few steps forward with the cardboard box, counted 14 cans, and put them on a tray on the platform.
Immediately afterwards, he closed the metal door on the outside.
With a click, the metal door seemed to be locked.
Shang Jianyao immediately heard a sound of friction coming from inside, so he asked seriously:
"What if she takes the can and runs away?"
Jiang Baimian smiled, smiling like a villain:
"Then bring our bazooka and blast it at the wall here!"
After a few dozen seconds, the horn from the height of the room sounded:
"You can open the door and get your electronic card and mask."
Shang Jianyao, who had been guarding the wall, opened the metal door with great interest.
The cans in the tray were gone, and there were two more electronic cards in a white plastic case and a cloth mask stacked on one piece.
Shang Jianyao didn't even look at the two electronic cards, so he directly shook off the cloth mask and carefully chose it.
These four masks are a handsome monk, a monkey with a hairy face and a pointed mouth, a fat pig with garlic in his nostrils, and a fierce man with a beard.
"It's boring, it's boring......" Shang Jianyao first excluded the monk and the man.
Obviously, he felt that this was too ordinary.
After some comparison, he chose the monkey with a vivid expression and put the mask on his face.
Jiang Baimian shook his head helplessly:
"You have never seen a real monkey, and you can't imitate the essence."
"Yes." Shang Jianyao was very regretful.
Jiang Baimian leaned over and immediately eliminated the fat pig mask.
In the end, she chose the handsome monk mask.
Long Yuehong endured her anxiety and said to Bai Chen quite humbly:
"You go first."
Bai Chen was not polite and took away the fierce man's mask.
Long Yuehong sighed silently, and could only accept this result.
"These masks remind me of some old world stories." Jiang Baimian reached out and grabbed the electronic card, and said casually, "I'll tell you when I have time."
Both electronic cards are labeled, one is "05" and the other is "06".
According to the introduction of the hotel owner, the four members of the "Old Tune Team" drove out of the Red Stone Market located underground and went around to the other side of the hill.
This is a flat land surrounded by trees, with many rows of blue and white bungalows.
At this time, the sky had darkened, and the surrounding area seemed silent and deserted, as if no one existed at all.
But whether it was Jiang Baimian or Bai Chen, they could sense that there were people hiding in some hidden places nearby, monitoring this side.
Rooms "05" and "06" are close to the hills and are relatively spacious, with two single beds, tables, chairs, and sofas, as well as their own bathrooms where you can take a bath.
"Take a break, and I'll deal with it later." Jiang Baimian was quite satisfied with the environment of the simple hotel and didn't want to enter the Red Stone Market to find the hidden restaurant owner.
"Yes, team leader!" Long Yuehong and Bai Chen responded in unison. Shang Jianyao was quite regretful.
…………
After the sky completely darkened, the damp and cold air soaked into the room, making Long Yuehong, who was listening to the team leader's story tell the story of the old world, start to feel cold.
He regretted a little why he didn't put on one more piece of clothing and come over again.
At that moment, the door to the "05" room was knocked.
Shang Jianyao, who had already sensed, had already put on the monkey mask, came to the door, and asked:
"Squeak?"
The people outside the door of "......" were obviously stunned.
Jiang Baimian sighed helplessly:
"In human language."
Don't imitate monkeys!
Shang Jianyao then returned to normal:
"Who?"
"Is the money in vain?" Outside, there was a man in the gray language.
Qian Bai was Bai Chen's name when he registered as a hunter.
"Is there anything you need to do with me?" Bai Chen stood up and put on his mask.
The man outside the door lowered his voice:
"I have a task I want to entrust to you."
"Why?" Bai Chen asked.
"Because you are an 'intermediate hunter', and you are the kind who is about to become a 'senior hunter'." The man outside the door explained simply.
Bai Chen glanced at Jiang Baimian and saw her nodding slightly, so he said to Shang Jianyao:
"Open the door."
Shang Jianyao immediately opened the door and stretched his face wearing a monkey mask forward a little.
The man outside the door was about 1.7 meters tall, wearing a black cloak and a mask with black stripes on a white background, and he had no surprise about seeing a scary "monkey".
In the Redstone Collection, this is the basic "etiquette".
What mask has he never seen?
After entering the door, the man crossed his hands, placed them in front of him, and took a step back:
"Vigilance will last forever."
"Are you a wary of sects?" Bai Chen led this conversation, and Jiang Baimian chose to listen with great interest.
The man wearing a cloak and a mask nodded:
"I am Renato, the bishop of the vigilant sect in the Red Rock Collection."
"Sit down." Bai Chen pointed to the empty position of the sofa.
Shang Jianyao continued to guard the door, holding his arms and posing as if I was a thug.
When Renato sat down, Bai Chen asked:
"As the mainstream sect of the Red Stone Collection, you should have good strength, why do you entrust me and my team?"
Renato was silent for a moment and said:
"Some things are inconvenient for believers to know, so I didn't pass the Hunter Guild either."
"If it's too difficult, don't say anything." Bai Chen chose to communicate in his own style.
Renato said quite honestly:
"I don't know if it's difficult to sleep, how dangerous it is."
"Then let's talk about it briefly." Bai Chen nodded.
Renato glanced at the others in the room:
"You should have heard Gaudí talk about some things about our sect.
"We just held a mass a few days ago, and the theme was 'hiding' to please the gods, that is, the 'aunt' of our faith.
"In this hide game, no one has been found yet."
Hearing this, Shang Jianyao replied quickly:
"Vier!"
"Yes." Renato affirmed, "Because he has been hiding for almost three days and everyone else has been found, I decided to end the mass and let him out, and the result ......"
Speaking of this, Renato's tone changed slightly, as for his expression, because he was wearing a mask, he couldn't see it:
"As a result, I didn't find him either.
"And he didn't take the initiative to come out."
What do you mean I don't have? It seems that you are better at finding people than other believers? Because it is an awakened person, can it sense the existence of consciousness? Is Vieer dead, or does he awaken on his own and hide his consciousness? Jiang Baimian grabbed Renato's words and began to analyze them in his heart.
Bai Chen nodded slightly:
"Do you want us to help you find Vierre?"
"Hmm." Renato sighed, "If something happens to the Mass ceremony, the believers will question my piety and think that I have brought shame to the gods."
Bai Chen pretended to discuss with the team members, first swept past Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong, and then looked at Jiang Baimian.
Jiang Baimian nodded slightly.
Bai Chen immediately responded to Renato:
"We can take on this task and believe in your credit, but I don't guarantee that it will be completed without knowing the details."
"I understand." Renato expressed understanding, "What kind of compensation do you want to get?"
"Help me introduce you to arms dealers who can buy heavy weapons and advanced equipment." Bai Chen said calmly, "This is part of it, and we will talk about the rest after the exploration site, and we will pay when we find Viere."
Simply making an introduction was not a burden for Renato, and he replied without hesitation:
"No problem.
"Then when will you go to the exploration site?"
"It's already dark, let's do it tomorrow morning." Bai Chen was not in a hurry at all.
"Yes, very vigilant." Renato praised, got up and said, "Tomorrow morning, you will drive along the road outside the park to the lakeside, and there will be people waiting there."
"Okay." Bai Chen stood up and said, "I wish you a happy cooperation."
Renato crossed his hands again, placed them on his chest, and took a step back:
"Vigilance is God's prompting."
After watching him leave, Shang Jianyao closed the door and announced with bright eyes:
"The final showdown has begun."
Jiang Baimian took off his mask and said "heh":
"If you dare to hide it so that I can't find it, I will leave you in the Red Stone Collection!"
"I am the spear." Shang Jianyao emphasized that he did not want to hide, but to break the other party's "shield".
