Chapter 187 The essence of hiding
Vière? Jiang Baimian looked at Bai Chen and the others in surprise.
This task has just begun, and it is about to end?"
Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and slapped his left palm with a look of regret.
Before he had time to play, the goal came out by himself!
——They have all learned the Honghe language, even Bai Chen, because of the environment, they have mastered some, although their respective levels are different, but at least there is no problem with basic listening, reading, and writing.
At this time, Vierre answered Bishop Renato's question with a smile:
"I've been in the ventilation duct all the time.
"You don't understand the essence of hiding, you choose a place and you don't move, and I will change the location depending on the situation: you come, I will go to another place, you leave, I will return.
"The only problem is that you have to learn to go around in circles and not let you hear the crawling movements."
Renato, who was wearing a mask, was silent for a few seconds and said:
"You don't look like you've been hungry for three days."
"I prepared food in advance." Vieer smiled proudly, "After going around to the farthest place from you, I can still climb into the bathroom, drink some tap water, and go to the toilet."
He waved his arm and said:
"This is the real hiding, we obviously live in the same place, but it seems like we are in two different worlds."
"You are not wearing a mask." Shang Jianyao suddenly pointed out.
He also spoke the Red River language.
The short Viyer glanced at the tall "monkey":
"I have mastered a full set of disguise skills, and you will not know me if you meet me again."
"Your characteristics are too obvious." Shang Jianyao reminded sincerely.
The smile on Viehl's face disappeared.
After a second or two, he returned to his previous expression:
"There is nothing that cannot be repared."
"Yes." Shang Jianyao pointed at himself, "I can't pretend to be short."
Vierre's eyes narrowed slightly, and he made a suggestion with a smile:
"You can break your leg."
Long Yuehong watched with the corners of her mouth moving slightly, as if watching two children quarrel. Jiang Baimian didn't want these two people to continue to fight, so he coughed twice and motioned for Bai Chen to interrupt.
Bai Chen understood her thoughts, took two steps forward, and said to Bishop Renato, who was wary of the sect:
"Vieer has been found, is our mission over?"
She did not use the phrase "Viyer has come out", emphasizing that it was "found".
In any case, this is what happened after they took on the task, there is no credit, and it has to be a bit of hard work.
Moreover, Renato might also entrust them to investigate Vierre's real hiding situation these days.
Renato raised his hand and touched the mask on his face:
"Yes, the mission is accomplished.
"But in this case, the reward will not be much."
"It doesn't matter, it is enough to fulfill the previous promise, and the story of the Dimarco family will be considered the final payment." Jiang Baimian interjected in a tone that I like to listen to stories.
Being able to build a relationship with the vigilant sect will definitely help the "Old Tune Group" on their journey to the Red Stone Collection.
Bai Chen immediately said "hmm", indicating that this member meant his own thoughts.
"You are honest, fair, and humble, which makes me feel like I have seen the second Captain Han." Renato spoke highly of the "old tune team" for not entangled in remuneration.
"Captain Han? Who is the sheriff?" Jiang Baimian was quite curious about the second half of the sentence.
Renato nodded:
"Yes, he has most of the chivalrous virtues of the Old World.
"If it weren't for this, it would be simply because he was a 'senior hunter' and did not believe in my lord, so he would not always hide, and the townspeople would not unanimously agree to invite him to be the sheriff."
"Incredible!" Shang Jianyao has always said something to say.
Which aspect he sighed about, Long Yuehong could completely guess, because he also had similar thoughts:
A veteran relic hunter from a wilderness wanderer possesses most of the chivalrous virtues of the old world: humility, mercy, justice, honesty, and bravery......
This is like saying that the mechanical monks are affectionate and passionate, crazy about love, and live up to the Tathagata.
Even Bai Chen, who was also born as a wilderness wanderer and was a more senior relic hunter, found it ridiculous and funny.
She is already a person with a high moral bottom line in this group, but she is still far away from those virtues.
She asked herself that she had "pity" on the side, and she had to be a specific object, and "heroic" worked hard to barely reach it.
"There will always be some special cases in this world." Renato did not argue about this issue, "Even if Han Wanghuo's performance is disguised, as long as he can keep disguising it, he is also a real knight."
"Hmm." Jiang Baimian agreed.
She was more interested in another point:
Although there are many people who speak the gray Tu language here, it seems to be more deeply influenced by the Red River culture.
Of course, after the destruction of the Old World and the migration of large numbers of people, the two cultures have left only fragments in many places and then blended together.
Renato glanced at Vier, who was much shorter than himself:
"Go to the altar of the Lord and pray to complete this Mass."
"Yes, Your Excellency." Viyer bounced slightly towards the exit.
When Shang Jianyao passed by, he suddenly turned his head sideways and made a face.
After watching the half-grown child go away, Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and slapped his left palm:
"It's a pity......
Jiang Baimian rolled his eyes covertly.
She knew that Shang Jianyao was a pity that she was wearing a mask and couldn't make a face back.
Renato didn't ask Shang Jianyao what was a pity, pointed ahead, and said in gray language:
"The largest arms dealer in Hongshiji is here."
"Mr. Dimarco?" Jiang Baimian was a little excited.
Does this mean they can meet the honorary mayor who never left the underground sanctuary?
Even if we meet through electronic products, that's good.
As long as you can communicate, you can ask the Dimarco family what they know about the destruction of the old world!
"Yes, technically speaking, it is Mr. DiMarco, but it is Mr. Carl, one of his three housekeepers, who is actually in charge." Renato, who was wearing a black cloak, explained, "I'll introduce you to you later."
"Okay, okay!" Jiang Baimian learned Long Yuehong's mantra.
"She's so excited." Shang Jianyao said to Long Yuehong "quietly".
"Remove it, change it to a little." Jiang Baimian replied.
Hearing their conversation, Renato looked sideways at Bai Chen, as if saying that it was hard to lead such a group of immature and stable teammates.
Bai Chen was embarrassed to tell him that the one who took the lead was the leader of the team.
When you can't change Shang Jianyao, you can only join him.
Mental illness has always been a stubborn disease.
After leaving this corridor and going around for a few minutes, Shang Jianyao and others saw another elevator hall.
There are three heavy-looking gray-black elevators, and there are two small LCD displays embedded in the partition area.
Renato took a few steps forward, pressed a button, and waited patiently.
After a while, the LCD screen on the left floated, reflecting a middle-aged and elderly man.
He wore an old-world black gown with a meticulous bow tie, and his black hair was slightly gray, but neatly combed.
His facial features are typical of Honghe people, his eyes are light blue, and although his appearance is average, he has an indescribable temperament.
It is definitely not possible to talk about nobility and elegance, but his existence makes Dimarco, the owner of the "Underground Boat", feel a little like this.
"Just in time, Mr. Karl, I have a few friends who want to meet you and discuss some business." Renato wanted to ask the person on the other side of the screen to pass it on, but it turned out that it was the butler Carl who was on duty today.
This time, he switched to the Red River language.
Karl glanced at the four masked people behind Renato through the camera:
"Please meet them in my office between 9 and 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
"I still have to be busy with the task assigned by my husband today."
Bai Chen glanced at Jiang Baimian and nodded to Renato.
"Okay." Renato agreed.
Karl then asked.
"Is this Mass over?"
"It's over." Renato's tone was relaxed.
"Vigilance will last forever." Karl crossed his hands, placed them on his chest, and took a step back.
He politely said again:
"See you tomorrow."
When the screen on the LCD screen disappeared, Renato turned his head and said to Bai Chen:
"Mr. Karl's office is on the fifth floor of the Redstone Collection, and there is a sign of 'Visa Trading Company'."
"Visa? Why is it called that?" When Jiang Baimian arrives in a new place, he always looks like a curious baby.
"This is the name of Mr. DiMarco's grandfather." Renato explained.
Jiang Baimian then looked at the elevator and the LCD display:
"These are all things left over from the old world?"
"The frame is that it was later transformed by 'Mechanical Heaven' and replaced some old and bad things." Renato knew this very well, after all, he needed to go underground through the church he presided over.
Jiang Baimian is not surprised at all about the cooperation between the Dimarco family and the "Mechanical Paradise", because this is an important smuggling node, there are many resources needed by the "Mechanical Paradise", and compared to the Wild Grass City, it is closer to the southern inlet to the sea, which is where the "Mechanical Paradise" is located.
She asked curiously:
"Humans can't enter the 'underground boat', robots can?"
"Yes, but it must be non-artificial intelligence demilitarized." Renato said casually, "At that time, 'Mechanical Heaven' specially set up a small non-artificial intelligence engineering team, well...... Mr. DiMarco should also have specialized talents in this area, and the combination of the two did not take long to complete the renovation and transformation of the "underground boat". When the engineering team left, the corresponding data and information were also destroyed."
As they spoke, they returned to the fortress-like church on the ground.
Saying goodbye to Renato, he got into the jeep, and Jiang Baimian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly smiled and said:
"Do you think that Vierre is telling the truth?"
Bai Chen, who was driving, replied quite calmly:
"At least part of it is a lie."
PS: The normal update will resume tomorrow
