Chapter 198 Alerter (Monthly Pass at the End of the Month)
Hearing Jiang Baimian's words, Shang Jianyao became silent for a moment.
After a few seconds, he suddenly smiled:
"But they will not save all mankind."
Jiang Baimian was stunned for a moment, inexplicably relieved, and then smiled:
"Yes, we can only rely on ourselves, just like the song you play often."
Compared with the monster in the laboratory in the ruins of Swamp No. 1, the kind of gaze just now was even more unimaginable, completely beyond her cognition, making her feel a little fluctuating and frightened for a while.
After all, the knowledge she has learned and the life she has experienced have made her believe in science more, believing that everything can be analyzed, understood, hypothesized, verified, mastered and reproduced.
The experience just now was a bit subverted her worldview.
However, after chatting with Shang Jianyao for a couple of words, she got rid of this emotion and cheered up again:
Even if there are real years and gods, they do not see them saving all mankind, so what does they have to do with themselves?
Moreover, for those who are in charge, why can't they analyze, understand, hypothesize, verify, master, and reproduce?
Jiang Baimian knew that this idea carried some self-deception, but under the current circumstances, this was the best way to help her recover as soon as possible.
In the short silence, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
Buzz and a middle-aged man in a black burqa quickly entered Bishop Renato's room.
Church guards with various weapons were scattered in the corridors and blocked the place.
"I am the 'Warning' Song He." The middle-aged man in the black burqa glanced at Bishop Renato, who was restrained by Shang Jianyao, and introduced himself.
In the redstone collection where masks are prevalent, he rarely does not disguise himself, he is a gray race, his eyebrows are slightly sparse, his sideburns are a little gray, and there are no wrinkles on his face, making it difficult to judge his specific age.
At a glance, the first thing Jiang Baimian remembered was the other party's righteous Chinese face and cleanly shaved beard.
"Alerter?" She asked suspiciously.
This sounds like a certain rank within the sect to be wary of.
"The clergy directly under the bishop are responsible for daily preaching and evangelism." Song He explained simply.
Jiang Baimian didn't ask more:
"Look if it's Bishop Renato."
Considering the presence of Buzz and others, their conversation was in the Red River language as a sign of honesty.
Song He walked to Shang Jianyao's side, squatted down, and looked at the "heartless person" who was trying to raise his head, his expression becoming more and more solemn.
After a few seconds, he sighed:
"It's the bishop.
"He suffers from 'heartless disease'."
He immediately ordered the church guards outside the door to bring in handcuffs, ropes and other items, and tied up the struggling "heartless one" Renato tightly.
After doing this, he turned around and said to Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian:
"Please wait a moment, I must report the bishop's situation immediately."
"Okay." Jiang Baimian expressed understanding.
Song He immediately walked to the door and said with a serious expression:
"Everyone stays here, can't leave, can't tell anyone about the bishop's illness."
"Yes, the Warning One." The church guards responded respectfully.
After watching Song He leave, Jiang Baimian turned his head to Buzz and said:
"You seem to be very convinced of Song Warning?"
"Hmm." Buzz nodded, "He was one of the first warnings to come to the Redstone Collection to preach."
"How old is he?" Jiang Baimian immediately noticed a problem.
From the outside, Song He's age does not match the first time he came to Hongshiji to preach.
How could a person who was obviously no more than fifty years old come to the Redstone Collection to preach at the beginning of the new calendar or at the end of the chaotic era?
Could it be that he is gifted, at what age can he speak well and serve as a warning?
"I'm not sure, it should be similar to my dead grandfather, even if it's not seventy, it's very close." Buzz replied thoughtfully.
Jiang Baimian was slightly surprised:
"He looks very young."
"Yes, he has never looked old, and he said he has the gift of being old." Buzz said he felt the same way.
Shang Jianyao interjected in a low voice:
"Maybe this is already the generation of Song He, every time Song He starts to grow old, a new Song He will replace him."
Buzz, who lacked the influence of entertainment programs in "......", looked at a loss, but after thinking about it, he felt that the situation described by Shang Jianyao was very frightening.
"Don't listen to him, he likes to tell horror stories." Jiang Baimian scolded, and then asked, "Then why didn't he become a bishop?"
After being a warning person for so many years, there is no merit or hard work.
Could it be that the vigilant denomination stipulates that only those who have received the gift of the year and awakened their abilities can serve as bishops?
"It was the warning that the warning itself refused. He always said that he had received enough now, and he was very satisfied, and if he wanted to become a bishop, he would only appear greedy and no longer be favored by 'Yougu'." Buzz repeated Song He's words.
At this time, Bishop Renato, who suffered from "heartless disease", had his mouth plugged and could not make a sound like a beast, so he could only twist around there, trying to break free from his restraints.
Not long after, Song He, the warning man wearing a black burqa, returned to this room and said to Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao:
"The Bishopric of Fear will soon send a new bishop over and take care of Renato's affairs. During this time, I will be in charge of the church affairs of Redstone."
After saying that, he crossed his hands, placed them on his chest, and took a step back:
"Vigilance is God's prompting."
After the salute, Song He looked at Jiang Baimian and the others, and said sincerely:
"I have a request."
Seeing that his posture was very low, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao looked at each other and said:
"Please speak."
"Please don't spread the word about Bishop Renato's 'unintentional disease'. Until we figure out why he got sick, the corresponding rumors will damage the church's reputation." Song He did not hide it and frankly expressed his concerns.
"Understandable." Jiang Baimian felt that Song He was very friendly, and said "Hmm", "We will keep this secret."
A bishop who has been favored by the gods will suffer from "unintentional disease", which is a big blow to the image of the deceased and the majesty of the denomination, and will make believers wonder whether the deceased can protect themselves.
At the end of the investigation, Renato is likely to be saddled with blasphemy and other notoriety...... Jiang Baimian did not have malicious intentions towards the vigilant sect, but similar treatment was too common.
Shang Jianyao nodded and said:
"With our friendship, there is no problem."
When did you make friends? Self-thinking? Jiang Baimian was amused for a while.
Song He did not refute Shang Jianyao's words, but told Buzz again, and instead ordered the church guards with great authority.
He has a trustworthy temperament.
Seeing him arranging various affairs in an orderly manner, Jiang Baimian suppressed his voice and praised:
"I think he is more like a bishop than Renato and is more suitable for this position."
"It's a pity that he is unwilling to take on the role, otherwise the Red Stone Set will not be as divided as it is now." Buzz echoed.
At this time, Song He asked Buzz to go over and explain something.
Jiang Baimian stayed in the room, watching them peacefully in the corridor.
After twenty or thirty seconds, her brows suddenly furrowed a little.
"I'll go to the bathroom." She said loudly.
Song He pointed to the right side of his body and said:
"The end is."
He didn't stop him, he seemed very trusting and relieved.
"I'll go too." Shang Jianyao followed Jiang Baimian.
When he came to the bathroom, Jiang Baimian pulled him into a partition in the women's toilet.
"Did you notice it?" She asked seriously.
Shang Jianyao said "Hmm":
"Song He is very suitable for making friends."
Jiang Baimian nodded slightly:
"I just looked at my mood and attitude changes, and found that the transition from guard and guard to friendliness and trust was too fast.
"Although I do promise to keep it a secret, I will never agree because Song He is very friendly and a trustworthy friend, and the only reason for making a decision can only be my own style of doing things and personal creed."
"It may also be because the situation is stronger than others." Shang Jianyao helped add.
Jiang Baimian looked at him squintingly:
"So, what do you think?"
"He is an awakened person." Shang Jianyao replied.
Jiang Baimian puffed out his breath and said:
"One of his abilities should be to make people feel friendly, trustworthy, and willing to listen, well, he didn't use his abilities before and didn't activate them until he asked us...... It seems that there is no need for language induction......
"This is really a missionary ability."
She was not angry that Song He was using the friendly ability on herself.
Rather than "persuasion" aimed at dozens of guns, a similar "request" is quite acceptable, which is even closer to an insurance measure.
——She can understand the other party's desire to keep the secret, and she is not forced to change her will, so she naturally has no irritation.
"What will be his price?" Shang Jianyao was very curious.
Jiang Baimian thought:
"Could it be related to his unwillingness to be a bishop?"
"I think it has something to do with how young he looks." Shang Jianyao expressed his opinion.
"Can this be a price? Who doesn't want such a price? This may be one of the manifestations of a certain ability of him......" Jiang Baimian laughed and scolded a couple of words, and then said with emotion, "The vigilant sect is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and there are two awakened people arranged in the Red Stone Collection, or even more."
Listening to Song He's meaning, there should be several warnings under a bishop.
"Maybe the sacrament is not just to save money." Shang Jianyao sighed from his own perspective.
After communicating about this matter, they each went to the toilet before returning to Bishop Renato's room.
Song He saw them, nodded lightly and said:
"I already know about Buzz and am going to send the church guard to invite Anherbas over. It is best for everyone to talk about it face to face, and it is best to resolve it peacefully.
"Do you two want to watch and witness, or do you leave now?"
Before Buzz had time to ask the "Qian Bai Squad" to stay and give him the necessary protection, Jiang Baimian laughed:
"Of course we have to watch, this also has a certain relationship with the task we undertake."
PS: It's the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass~
