Chapter 222 Notes
In this report, Jiang Baimian still did not mention the night Bishop Renato suffered from "unintentional disease", suspected of being gazed upon by "Yougu".
On the one hand, she felt that the "old tune group" was still in the Red Stone Collection, still wary of the church's sphere of influence, and still in the area of concern of the "Yougu". Of course, she is still an atheist, temporarily treating Zhi Sui as a powerful creature beyond imagination, and does not have a particularly serious sense of awe and a strong urge to bow and worship.
On the other hand, she has always known that the company hides many secrets, and her attitude towards the gray earth and the destroyed old world is worth playing, so during the investigation, she instinctively wanted to hold back the gains that had nothing to do with the mission.
Moreover, they now have a friendly relationship with the Vigilant Sect and have great respect for "Yougu", and have not done any blasphemous behavior, so they do not need to ask the company for help for the time being.
On the matter of staring at the year, Jiang Baimian did not say so much detail to Long Yuehong and Bai Chen, mainly reminding them that there may really be a year in this world, and they will also look at the gray soil and even come to the world.
She didn't share the fear, the hopelessness, and the shock at that time, so as not to scare the two team members.
As soon as it got dark, the "old tune team" who had had dinner received a call back from "Pangu Biotech":
"You can do some research, but pay attention to the following:
"1. After entering the temple, you must not touch anything directly with your hands, and you must wear latex gloves, rubber gloves, and other items;
"Second, if it is not necessary, the body of the so-called 'god' cannot be moved;
"Three, it cannot exceed a quarter of an hour in the temple, no more than half an hour in the area near the temple, and no more than three days in other parts of the island."
After translating the content, Jiang Baimian sighed and said:
"The company is no stranger to this kind of thing, and they have summarized the formal handling process."
She is even more curious about what is hidden behind these taboos, and whether the company has figured out the source of the problem or has it relied on human life to fill in a product of experience.
"Otherwise, how could he be the biggest suspect in destroying the old world, the ultimate villain of the current gray earth?" Shang Jianyao responded to Jiang Baimian's emotion in the tone of a radio drama.
Long Yuehong hesitated, but still asked:
"Are you really sure you want to go?"
After seeing the precautions listed, he was not so afraid.
The unknown is the most frightening thing, and knowing how to deal with it will definitely not be so panicked.
In this regard, Long Yuehong's most direct idea is:
It feels so good to be backed by the company!
"I should go." Jiang Baimian was embarrassed to say that she wanted to set off now, and said with a slight smile, "But at least you have to wait until you receive the exoskeleton device and improve your strength before considering it."
"Okay." Long Yuehong was even more relieved.
At this time, Bai Chen looked at Jiang Baimian and asked thoughtfully:
"If the company doesn't let us explore, do you want to go secretly?"
"How could it be?" Jiang Baimian's eyes widened and he flatly denied, "I'm not Shang Jianyao!"
"You can consider becoming a business advisor." Shang Jianyao suggested with great interest.
Bai Chen ignored Jiang Baimian's denial and said in a low voice:
"Isn't the person left behind a companion?"
"Huh?" Jiang Baimian immediately made a decision, raised his right hand, touched his ear, "What did you say?"
Then, she said solemnly:
"I won't leave any companions, but everyone has their own tasks to undertake."
Slapping, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands.
Jiang Baimian became angry, turned around and shouted, "You want to practice fighting", stood up and started moving.
Next, Shang Jianyao saw what it means to go all out Jiang Baimian.
…………
The next morning, Shang Jianyao took off his clothes and was shirtless, asking Long Yuehong to help him apply medicine to the bruises on his back.
"It's almost scattered, your recovery ability is indeed better than mine." Long Yuehong sighed sincerely.
This is the second time I took the medicine.
Shang Jianyao sincerely made suggestions:
"Being beaten more can effectively improve your ability to resist blows."
"Haha." Long Yuehong laughed dryly, "I'm not you, how can I support the team leader for so long? The team leader is really powerful, she was cured of her illness yesterday, and she can play to that extent, she usually seems to have reservations."
"If you don't keep it, you may only be able to practice fighting once a week." Shang Jianyao said with a smile, "Mainly you, you have to lie in a hospital bed for a week after most of the practice."
Long Yuehong wanted to refute, but in the end he nodded deeply with emotion.
While the two were talking, Shang Jianyao suddenly turned his head sideways and looked outside.
At this time, Jiang Baimian, who was enjoying Bai Chen's medicine in the next room, had pushed the door open and greeted:
"Captain Han."
"Your exoskeleton device is here." Shang Jianyao jumped out and put on his clothes.
Long Yuehong couldn't hide her excitement and quickly ran to the door.
When Shang saw that Yao was wearing a mask, he immediately opened the door.
At a glance, he saw Han Wanghuo with a rifle on his back, two tattered off-road vehicles, and several members of the Red Rock Market Town Guard.
They were moving a crate to Jiang Baimian.
"A 'AC-42' universal exoskeleton device, please accept it." Han Wanghuo said in a businesslike tone.
Jiang Baimian looked sideways at Long Yuehong and said with a smile:
"Come on, check it out."
Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao couldn't wait to walk over, open the crate, and check the black exoskeleton device with a metallic luster.
At the same time, Jiang Baimian said to Han Wang:
"Didn't you say you have to wait another two days?"
Han Wanghuo, who was not wearing a mask, showed a rare smile:
"You all came to urge, they didn't dare to delay."
The real power of the town guard unanimously passed.
Jiang Baimian laughed dumbly:
"Are we so scary?"
"Yes." A member of the town guard who had just moved a box of food replied in a low voice.
Fortunately, Jiang Baimian didn't hear clearly.
Shang Jianyao hummed a ballad:
"The little monk went down the mountain to ...... Huazhai" (Note 1)
The lyrics behind him were blocked back by Jiang Baimian's glaring eyes.
Seeing this, Han Wang said with emotion:
"There are many powerful teams of relic hunters in the gray earth who can single-handedly destroy a larger settlement.
"Now, in the eyes of many townspeople in Hongshiji, you are such a team of relic hunters."
How terrifying the fish-man awakeners were that night, how deep the shadow left in the hearts of the townspeople of Redstone Market was, and how exaggerated their awe and fear of the "Qian Bai Squad" were now.
Jiang Baimian, who was praised, said humbly:
"A large settlement like Redstone Collection, which has the protection of the year, is not something that the relic hunter team can destroy, including us."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the members of the town guard looking over at the same time, their eyes seemed to say, "You have indeed considered destroying the Red Stone Collection."
Are you too vigilant? Oversensitivity is not a good thing...... Jiang Baimian's mouthful of old blood rushed to his throat.
Soon, with the help of Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong put on the black exoskeleton device with a very simple weapon module.
Trying to move his body, he felt the power of this equipment again.
After some experiments, Long Yuehong happily replied:
"No problem!"
At this time, Bai Chen also checked the boxes of food and made sure that the portion was just right.
Jiang Baimian immediately said to Han Wanghuo:
"The transaction is officially completed."
Han Wanghuo breathed a sigh of relief and said instead:
"Didn't you say that you collected information about 'Mechanical Heaven' within a week?"
"It's already done?" Jiang Baimian asked in surprise.
Han Wanghuo shook his head:
"Not yet, but I have seen a problem from the information I have found so far."
"What?" Shang Jianyao approached with great interest.
Han Wanghuo pondered for a moment and said:
"No one has ever seen a human from 'Mechanical Heaven'.
"They will always deal with intelligent robots."
"That's right......" Jiang Baimian was not surprised.
Xu Liyan, the lord of Wild Grass City, also mentioned a similar situation.
After exchanging this matter, Han Wang saw that several members of the town guard were at a certain distance from this side and were looking for a place to hide at any time, so he suppressed his voice and said:
"I have something to ask you."
"What?" Jiang Baimian asked suspiciously.
Han Wanghuo organized the following language and said:
"On the night Bishop Renato was urgently recalled to the headquarters of the vigilant sect, who else knew about this except you?"
Seeing that the "Qian Bai Squad" did not answer for a while, he explained simply:
"This morning we exchanged captives with the fishmen and mountain monsters, and the Gaudí you know was released.
"He said that after he was caught, he heard some discussions among the fishmen: they had to prepare for a month, and then launch an attack after reconnaissance was clear, but as a result, they suddenly received news that Bishop Renato had left and the new bishop had not yet arrived.
"Because the operation failed, and even lost the divine envoy, they complained to each other and revealed this information."
Jiang Baimian understood what Han Wanghuo meant:
"Someone betrayed this key information to the second person?"
"That's what I think." Han Wanghuo did not hide his thoughts.
The news received was that Bishop Renato had been recalled to headquarters? This is a bit interesting...... Jiang Baimian said thoughtfully:
"That night, the church alarm and the guards were there, as well as Buzz and Vierre......"
And what these people know is that Bishop Renato suffers from "unintentional disease"!
After listening quietly, Han Wanghuo nodded:
"I will investigate in order."
Jiang Baimian smiled when he heard this:
"We seem to be suspects too."
Han Wang was dumbfounded for a while:
"If you betray this information, the only reason is that you want to hook out the fish-man awakened person and use our exoskeleton device to solve him."
"Good reason!" Shang Jianyao applauded and expressed his deep inspiration.
…………
In the afternoon, the prepared "old tune team" entered the lakeside area and borrowed the speedboat of the town guard.
With Han Wang's help, they have planned a route around the fish-man gathering area.
