"This is a direct modification of memory, right?" Jiang Baimian supported his right elbow with his left hand, while the five fingers of his right hand were placed between his mouth and nose.
Shang Jianyao replied seriously:
"I haven't compared the difference between hypnotized and tampered with memories, I can't be sure."
Oh, now it's a rigorous business...... Jiang Baimian sat there and said while thinking:
"If some people within the Zhao family are indeed related to the assassination of Xu Liyan by the 'Anti-Intellectual Sect', then it is likely that the real 'priest' did the affairs of the manor himself, but with his caution, he should not be in the manor, but hid somewhere nearby and watched everything quietly."
Shang Jianyao made exactly the same action as Jiang Baimian:
"Then how do you explain that Zhao Shouren and the others have their memories tampered with?"
"Maybe when he first controlled the manor, he appeared, and later only a fake 'priest' puppet was left." Jiang Baimian felt provoked and talked about his speculation in detail, "Those who enter the manor to investigate should not have encountered memory modification, but 'hypnosis'. Those who hide outside and observe will naturally not be affected because they are not discovered."
Without waiting for Shang Jianyao to question, she found another problem herself:
"But what exactly does the 'Anti-Intellectual Religion' want to do? If they plan to use the Zhao family manor as a base and draw benefits from it, they shouldn't do it so badly at all. In this matter, the most important point is not to arouse the suspicion of the head of the Zhao family, in that case, the follow-up investigation will be one after another, which is very unfavorable for them to lie dormant. If it were me, I would definitely only deduct part of the surrender, making it a reasonable loss and a long stream. This pot is served, who doesn't doubt it?
"If they just want to invade and strengthen the sect, this method is not smart. If it were me, I would directly modify the memory of the corresponding personnel, sell a few manors in the shortest possible time, and then leave by myself, and use the money from selling the manor to buy other manors openly......"
Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian found that Shang Jianyao's eyes had become strange when he looked at him, and he immediately said "uh", subconsciously maintaining the glorious image of the team leader:
"I just put myself in the perspective of the villain and analyze the problem, I don't really want to do this, bah, I mean, I don't even have this kind of idea usually, I just bring in this kind of scene, and then I will strictly follow the logic to reason what kind of development will be."
Shang Jianyao nodded:
"Look at my lip shape."
After saying that, he opened his mouth several times without making a sound.
"I don't understand lip language!" Jiang Baimian said angrily.
She said so, but in fact she moved her mouth, as if she was restoring Shang Jianyao's performance just now.
"Anti-intellectual religion? Do you want to say 'anti-intellectualism'?" Jiang Baimian tentatively said the answer.
Shang Jianyao showed a relieved smile and clapped his hands:
"That's right!"
"You mean, it's not surprising that the 'Anti-Intellectual' has no IQ in any more behavior?" Jiang Baimian shook his head not too approvingly, "But according to the doctrine of 'anti-intellectualism', the top management must keep their heads and think on behalf of the believers, it should be smarter, well, the real 'priest' is an example."
Shang Jianyao said solemnly:
"Stupidity is contagious."
"You prove it to me!" Jiang Baimian subconsciously retorted.
Shang Jianyao immediately spoke:
"Look......
"Stop!" Jiang Baimian directly stopped him, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, and expressed his guess, "I think the 'Anti-Intellectual Religion' wants to use the Zhao family manor as a base to plan some things, which should be a short-term behavior, so there is no need to consider whether it is exposed, and you can make quick success."
"Where are they printing flyers?" Shang Jianyao's eyes lit up.
He seems to be interested in the "anti-intellectual" leaflet full of typos.
Jiang Baimian got up from the edge of the bed in the room, walked to the door, and replied:
"Maybe."
Shang Jianyao stood up with her and walked out step by step.
"You don't ask me where I'm going?" After Jiang Baimian reached out and pressed the doorknob, he asked with a smile.
Yo Shang Jian replied seriously:
"I'm not Long Yuehong."
"Then tell me where I am going and what I want to do?" Jiang Baimian asked with a smile.
Shang Jianyao thought for a moment and said:
"You have to add money!"
Jiang Baimian's eyebrows moved slightly, and he smiled slightly in surprise:
"Since it involves 'anti-intellectual cult', it is indeed necessary to talk to Congressman Zhao, so that he can be mentally prepared for the possible premium in the future, and also see what helpers he can find in the initial city, preferably a real power figure who hates 'anti-intellectual cult'."
If the final assessment result is very dangerous, she will consider giving up directly, after all, the "Anti-Intellectual Cult" is also a major force, and it is not a wise thing to provoke such a group of crazy people with no IQ when it has nothing to do with the main task.
At this time, Shang Jianyao inexplicably said a sentence:
"I don't know if the 'Crucible Sect' and the 'Anti-Intellectual Sect' have anything to do with each other."
Jiang Baimian said "hmm":
"I won't go directly to Leinster, let's go back and telegram to Congressman Zhao."
After saying that, she twisted the handle and opened the door.
The two went all the way down, said goodbye to Lanster, and returned to the jeep.
Glancing sideways at the harvest bathroom, Jiang Baimian said with sincere emotion:
"Steam like this, bubble bath, it's really comfortable, I feel that my body is a lot more relaxed, well, I must bring Xiaobai and the others to try it later."
Shang Jianyao's expression suddenly became embarrassed, as if he was meditating.
Without waiting for Jiang Baimian to ask, he took the initiative to speak:
"Can Gnawa accept a steam bath?"
"I don't know this......" Jiang Baimian is not so good at robots.
The jeep slowly started and drove into the main road of the city, but it did not return to the green olive area in the northwest of the city, but went straight to the southernmost exit of the city in the Jinmai ear area.
"It's still early, you can observe the environment around the Zhao family manor, we don't do any investigation, we are only familiar with the terrain." Jiang Baimian explained casually.
Their jeep has been newly modified after the turmoil in Weeds City, so you don't have to worry about being recognized by the "anti-intelligence" people.
When Shang Jianyao heard this, he sighed:
"It's a pity that Xiaohong didn't follow."
You mean, if Xiaohong is here, a simple familiarity with the terrain will develop into a direct conflict? You think too highly of Xiaohong, wasn't it okay for so many days ago? Jiang Baimian's thoughts turned and he gave up refuting.
…………
In the early afternoon, the jeep returned to the Ugo Hotel and stopped at the same place yesterday.
Glancing at the gray off-road nearby, Jiang Baimian smiled:
"Xiaobai and the others should have come back."
Shang Jianyao carefully checked the condition of the off-road vehicle, and said with a sigh of relief, whether it was regret or relief:
"No bullet holes."
Jiang Baimian didn't want to pay attention to him, so he turned around and walked into the hotel.
In the hall, no one was at the front desk, and the wooden door of the room behind it was closed.
Jiang Baimian's brows furrowed slightly, and Shang Jianyao had already jumped over, as if he wanted to enter the front desk and pretend to be the hotel owner.
Hello...... Jiang Baimian didn't dare to shout loudly, quickened his pace, and tried to catch up with Shang Jianyao without giving him a chance to play freely.
The two of them went around to the reception desk one after another, and Jiang Baimian stretched out his hand to stop Shang Jianyao's follow-up behavior.
At this moment, she heard the sound of lotus coming from behind the closed wooden door.
It's like a beast screaming and roaring.
All the expressions on Jiang Baimian's face disappeared instantly, and she turned her ears to the side, trying to listen to the movement in the room.
In her senses, there was only the electrical signal of a large creature inside.
Hohe's voice rang twice more, and then disappeared completely.
There was silence behind the wooden door.
Jiang Baimian's heart moved, he winked at Shang Jianyao, and then exited the front desk area lightly and returned to the hall.
Shang Jianyao imitated her appearance and quickly backed away from the room.
As soon as the two reunited together and posed to walk towards the staircase, the wooden door creaked open.
Coming out was the hotel owner Ugo, his blonde hair and linen shirt slightly damp, as if he was sweating a lot, and his slightly wrinkled, tanned face was a little pale.
He glanced at Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, and asked slowly:
"Is there something wrong?"
Shang Jianyao immediately replied:
"The front desk can't leave people unattended, it's easy to be patronized by thieves."
Ugo nodded:
"Don't worry, I know all the thieves in this area."
"It seems that we are overly worried." Jiang Baimian smiled and pulled Shang Jianyao away.
When he returned to the second floor, Jiang Baimian looked sideways at Shang Jianyao and asked in a low voice:
"Did you notice something abnormal inside before passing by?"
Shang Jianyao shook his head:
"I want to help him guard the front desk for a while."
Jiang Baimian was speechless.
The two quickly returned to room 202, and after a short rest, they waited for Bai Chen, Long Yuehong and Gnava to knock on the door.
After exchanging today's experience, Jiang Baimian smiled and breathed a sigh of relief:
"At least I don't have to worry about living without money recently.
"Well, tomorrow I will use 100 Ore as a deposit to redeem the individual bazooka, and I still have to try to ensure sufficient firepower in the original city."
100 Ore certainly won't buy a brand new vehicle, but as a deposit for an off-road vehicle over seventy years old that has obviously undergone major repairs, it is enough.
After finalizing this matter, Long Yuehong asked with a slight hesitation:
"Do you really want to care about the 'anti-intellectual religion'?"
"If we don't care, there may be another drastic change like Weed City and involve us." It was Bai Chen who answered.
Jiang Baimian was slightly surprised by this, but did not open his mouth to ridicule.
She also thinks so, after all, "anti-intelligence" always likes to do bad things that affect a large number of people.
Of course, whether you care or not depends on the degree of danger in the end, if it is too dangerous, you can consider reporting it to the relevant departments of the original city.
Shang Jianyao then smiled and said:
"Everyone is responsible for cracking down on cults!"
Dangdang, Gnava clapped his hands.
Shang Jianyao greeted him again and again and thanked him for his support.
After a few seconds, Jiang Baimian looked at Bai Chen and asked seriously:
"What else do you know about the owner of this hotel?"
