Jiang Baimian quickly helped Shang Jianyao round his words:
"Investigating this matter has allowed us to gain an additional 50 Ore."
Fokas, nicknamed "Lion", nodded:
"Tell me about your investigation process in detail."
He walked back to the desk step by step and sat down.
During this process, he did not ask Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian to find seats by themselves, as if the other party was just two subordinates who came to report.
It's not easy to make some money...... Jiang Baimian cheered up and started talking about how he and others "met" Zhao Yide by chance, and took over this task, all the way to waiting for Shen Kui, subduing him, and confirming that it was really the "anti-intellectual sect" who was doing ghosts.
As for how to figure out which ones are "strangers" from the mouth of Zhao Shouren, the butler of the Zhao family, and how to let Shen Kui explain the situation truthfully, and then he will not take the initiative to expose the fact that he was arrested, Jiang Baimian only vaguely mentioned "We have some little skills", and he showed that we have a secret in this regard.
For many ruin hunter teams, this is not too uncommon - everyone has the ability to settle down and live in a way that is not known to outsiders.
Focus raised his hand and touched his chin, and suddenly asked a question:
"Why don't you go to the area near the Zhao family manor to monitor, but choose a road farther from there?"
Sure enough, he is the one who broke through the mountain of knives and the sea of blood, and his sense of smell is very keen...... Jiang Baimian replied with a smile:
"We are worried that the 'Anti-Intellectual' will pay special attention to the points around the manor that are easy to monitor."
Phokas pondered for a few seconds, then smiled and said:
"The hunter team that investigated the manor before and found out that strangers were in and out of the manor was really lucky."
"Yes." Shang Jianyao deeply agreed.
Seeing that General Fukas easily noticed the problem he had deliberately posed, Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"There is a precedent for 'anti-intellectualism'."
She then gave a general account of the operation planned by the true "priest" in Wild Grass City.
After listening quietly, Fokas showed a slightly sarcastic smile:
"Are they trying to plot against me?"
Without waiting for Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian to answer, he stood up with great momentum:
"I'd love to see what they really want to do.
"Do you recognize all the suspicious 'strangers'?"
"Yes." Shang Jianyao replied calmly.
Fokas laughed:
"That's good, two days later, at nine o'clock in the morning, come here to meet my guards, and we will go directly to arrest people!"
He didn't seem to be worried about stepping on a trap at all.
"Don't you choose an auspicious time?" Shang Jianyao asked rhetorically.
Auspicious time is a word in the gray language, and because Shang Jianyao is speaking the Red River language, he doesn't know if there is an exclusive vocabulary, so he uses "lucky time" to express his meaning.
"Lucky time?" Fokas asked suspiciously.
"For example, at two or three o'clock in the morning, when everyone is asleep." Shang Jianyao gave an example.
Phokas laughed:
"No, they don't have the qualifications to be treated like this."
Saying something like this often doesn't have a good ending...... General, don't be a crow...... Jiang Baimian tried hard to divert the topic:
"After participating in this operation, we will be able to get the corresponding rewards?"
As she spoke, her eyes swept over the two guards on duty in the study.
"That's not what I should answer, it's up to your employer to decide." Fokas said confidently, "But I think it should be fine."
Without waiting for Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao to ask again, he sat down slightly tired:
"You can leave, remember the time."
Shang Jianyao looked surprised and said:
"Aren't you going to keep us for lunch?"
Phocas looked him up and down a few times, and suddenly smiled:
"This is the price you pay?
"When the action is successful, I will invite you to the celebration banquet."
"It's a deal!" Shang Jianyao responded with bright eyes.
Then, he and Jiang Baimian left the general's mansion in Fokas and returned to the gray off-road vehicle.
Jiang Baimian looked in the rearview mirror while driving:
"I wonder if he is related to you by blood, so he chose to go up recklessly."
Shang Jianyao raised his hand and touched his hair:
"Probably not. If you really need it, you can have it."
Jiang Baimian immediately laughed:
"You want to inherit his family property?"
"I will let his property be used in more meaningful places." Shang Jianyao replied sincerely.
Jiang Baimian sneered:
"For example, to fill your stomach?"
Without waiting for Shang Jianyao to answer, she hit the steering wheel and said seriously:
"At that time, we will definitely not be the main target, even if something really happens, at most it will be within the range of being affected, and the danger level is not too high.
Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian smiled:
"Fukas is reckless, and his strength should be very strong.
"Zhao Zhengqi should have mentioned to him that you are an awakened person, but when he saw us, he only arranged two guards.
"Either the whole house is under the gaze of a strong man, or he is the strong man."
A strong person of that level should not disdain to pretend to be a guard and stay in the study, and can sit next to Focus generously.
"He's arrogant." Shang Jianyao expressed his opinion, "But the person is okay, and he actually agreed to treat us to a big meal afterwards."
Jiang Baimian said "hmm" twice, and let the gray off-road vehicle drive towards the temporary inspection point on the street in front of him.
…………
Green Olive District, Rabe Street, Hugo Inn.
Jiang Baimian took Shang Jianyao back here and asked the boss about the latest situation:
"Was there a case of 'heartless disease' yesterday?"
Ugo shook his head:
"No.
"If there are no cases for another two or three days, you can move back."
He looked normal and there was nothing unusual.
"Hope." Shang Jianyao sincerely expressed his expectations.
After leaving the hotel, the two went to the rental room on Tiexun Street as scheduled to meet Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Gnawa.
After exchanging the results of the action with each other, Jiang Baimian laughed at himself and said:
"I'm also stupid and treat them as beginners in Honghe language who have been systematically educated by the company.
"Let's go back and compile another introductory textbook on the gray language, using the first grade of elementary school as a blueprint.
"Don't worry, catch up on sleep in the afternoon."
After lunch, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong slept on the upper bunk of the high and low beds.
Long Yuehong was about to complain that the other party was squeezing too much space, but Shang Jianyao had raised his right hand and pinched his temples on both sides.
…………
In the "Sea of Origin", on the island with a golden elevator.
Shang Jianyao looked at himself sitting cross-legged at the elevator door, wearing a gray camouflage uniform, shook his head pitifully, and also sat down.
He said earnestly:
"You are me, I am you, we are inseparable parts.
"Everyone has conflicts and struggles, but they can't separate themselves and go to extremes."
Seeing that the merchant at the elevator door had quietly listened to his words, Shang Jianyao laughed and said the last two words:
"So ......"
The merchant raised his hand, pulled out his ears, and asked with a smile:
"What are you talking about? I can't hear, I plug my ears, for fear of being affected by the 'reasoning clown'."
Shang Jianyao frowned slightly and looked at him.
Then, he also raised his hand and pulled out his ears.
After a few seconds, Shang Jianyao sighed and said:
"We are so similar, we all made the same choice.
"I still want to accept you and let you get the best treatment in the hospital we built ourselves."
The merchant saw Yao and said to himself:
"Overcoming the last fear is the only way you can access the 'Spiritual Corridor.'
"Since you are afraid of losing your companions, you must create opportunities to lose your companions and find opportunities to overcome your fears in the process."
Shang Jianyao thought for a moment and said:
"The nine of us get along well, why don't you get along?
"Do you have any problems? Speak up and communicate, maybe there is something we can do."
The merchant saw Yao and smiled:
"When you enter the 'Spiritual Corridor', you can obtain qualitative changes and have the ability to complete your ideals.
"You can still control the opportunity to make up for the loss of your companions to a certain extent, while passively waiting for the opportunity to come, it is likely to be hopeless."
Shang Jianyao sighed again:
"I suddenly don't know what to say, so I'll give you a good greeting."
The two of them blocked their ears like this, communicating with each other.
Secretly, they are all trying to use "hypocritical people" to get the other party to remove the "earplugs" and listen to themselves.
As a result, the two jumped up at the same time, threw out their "earplugs", and smashed them at each other.
Once again, Shang Jianyao and Shang Jianyao ended in a draw.
…………
After leaving the "Sea of Origin", Shang Jianyao made up for his sleep until four o'clock in the afternoon.
"How is it? I think you seem to have entered the 'Sea of Origin'." Long Yuehong asked with concern and curiosity.
Shang Jianyao sighed:
"We all know each other too well, but there is only one."
That was a draw.
Jiang Baimian in the lower bunk thought for a while and said:
"Or, you listen to me, and I'll plan a plan for you?"
