The top of a tall building in the distance from the highest gladiatorial arena.
After Bai Chen set up the "Orange" rifle in a hidden place, he directly took out the letter given by Jiang Baimian, opened it and read it.
She didn't wait until something was wrong to do it.
After a quick glance, Bai Chen's face showed a complicated expression, both surprised, dazed, and a little funny.
…………
In the echo of the nursery rhyme-like singing, the nobles got up and walked to the bathroom in the passage.
In the past, this was also a relatively common picture - while the gladiatorial competition had not officially started, it was a common choice for many people to empty themselves and adjust their state.
When Marcus saw this scene, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he shook his head inconspicuously.
But suddenly, his expression became strange.
He also felt a bulge in his lower abdomen and some kind of uncontrollable urge.
How come? Doubtful thoughts came to Marcus's mind.
He hasn't drunk water since lunch, and before going out, he went to the bathroom on purpose.
But his physical feelings told him that this was not an illusion.
And the previous doubts are not impossible to explain, in a red river proverb:
"There are always things you can't predict and endure, just like love and diarrhea."
Marcus's first reaction was to hold back, but the impulse became stronger and stronger, so strong that he was afraid that he would wet his pants without being able to help it.
I still have to go, just don't close the bathroom door when the time comes, even if you turn it off, it's nothing, there is a light inside...... Moreover, there are two or three awakened people in the box, many of whom have military experience, not waste who panic when encountering accidents...... I also have professional bodyguards who are willing to help me block guns...... People always look for explanations that are beneficial to them, and Marcus quickly convinces himself, stands up, and leads the four bodyguards to the bathroom.
Witnessing this scene and not noticing any changes in the "virtual world", Long Yuehong breathed a sigh of relief.
Even the owner of the "virtual world" began to urinate urgently, because it would seem too coincidental, too purposeful, and easy to be suspected.
Fortunately, they made a plan with consideration in mind about what to do in this situation.
Jiang Baimian turned his wrist and glanced at the time, took out a silver-white mobile phone, and dialed a number.
The identity identified on it is "Max".
"Hi Max, are you free at night? We want to visit and discuss that matter......" Jiang Baimian said this, turned around and patted Shang Jianyao's arm, signaling him to turn off the portable tape recorder and not disturb his phone call.
Shang Jianyao naturally followed the good like a stream.
After the singing stopped, Jiang Baimian continued:
"Then see you at eight o'clock in the evening, give us at least fifty minutes."
"Okay." On the other end of the phone was a low baritone voice.
…………
After Gnawa hung up the phone, he turned off his phone directly to avoid being located in the future.
Then, he began to count down.
In the previous paragraph, the first number is an invalid number, used to confuse the listener, and its only meaning is to tell Gnava that the next one is the point.
And fifty minutes means that the power will be cut off after fifty seconds!
…………
Jiang Baimian put away his mobile phone, glanced at the passage to the bathroom, and saw that Marcus and his four bodyguards were about to enter.
She patted Shang Jianyao's right hand as she "tried" to play the song again, and deliberately raised her voice:
"The game is about to start, let's go to the bathroom quickly."
"Okay." Shang Jianyao deliberately placed the portable tape recorder on the seat.
He quickly got up, and walked to the passage to the bathroom with Jiang Baimian.
As a "bodyguard", Long Yuehong is undoubtedly close behind.
When they saw the men's bathroom, Marcus and his bodyguard had already entered.
It stands to reason that Jiang Baimian wanted to turn to the right and go to the women's bathroom, but at this time, Shang Jianyao stretched out his hand, hugged her waist, and pointed to the men's bathroom, showing a malicious expression.
"You're so bad." Jiang Baimian lowered his head and said angrily.
Vomit...... Although Long Yuehong was mentally prepared for this line, she still felt sick to her stomach.
And he was very afraid, afraid that the team leader would turn around and silence himself.
Next, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian pushed open the door of the unclosed men's bathroom in a half-hugged and half-hugging position.
In the aristocratic circles of the "First City", where the belief in "Mandala" is more popular, this is not too uncommon, not to mention men's bathrooms, even gardens, garages, and rooftops are also tried.
The men's bathroom attached to the aristocratic box is different from other places, there is no urination area, because many nobles are worried about being attacked, so they will let their bodyguards follow in, instead of everyone enjoying urinating in front of everyone.
Based on decency, the design here is very similar to the women's bathroom, consisting of compartments, and each compartment is not directly adjacent to each other, with blank areas separated.
At this time, Marcus had entered a compartment, guarding the four bodyguards outside.
Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian, who were half-hugging and half-hugging, walked to the compartment in the corner, this posture made them move quite slowly.
As a bodyguard, Long Yuehong "habitually" closes the bathroom door.
Now is the perfect time to close its doors!
Because the power has not been cut off at this time, the lights are still on, and the condition of the bathroom is far from the level of vigilance, it is enough for the owner of the "virtual world" to maintain normal operation, and there is no need to add additional branches and leaves.
If he had just begun to protect Marcus now, he might have been more vigilant than he was, but it was obvious that he had been doing this for many years, and he was bound to be numb in some details.
With a clicking sound, the bathroom door closed.
He was not sure whether this was his illusion or an illusion in the "virtual world".
In the real world, the bathroom door may still remain intact.
If this is the case, the "old tune group" can only accept the failure of the ending.
He closed the door for less than ten seconds, and when Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and the target compartment were still some distance away, the lights in the bathroom suddenly went out!
There was no warning, not even two blinks!
It suddenly became pitch black, with only a faint wind swimming in the pipes.
Almost at the same time, Jiang Baimian suddenly had a feeling that the surrounding environment had become relaxed and thorough.
It was like she had dived a distance and finally surfaced.
No need for others to remind her, she knows that the "virtual world" has subsided, at least it no longer envelops the men's bathroom attached to the aristocratic box!
And this kind of environment and such a reaction also made her understand what the price paid by the owner of the "virtual world" is.
Claustrophobia!
Even if the awakened person at the "Mind Corridor" level can continue to simulate a light-free bathroom in the "virtual world", the reality cannot be changed, which will make him feel fearful of knowing what is true and what is false, and he cannot control himself to let his attention leave this area.
As a result, the "virtual world" was eliminated in the bathroom.
Seizing this opportunity, Shang Jianyao reached out and held the "Fate Pearl" in his pocket.
He didn't use the "reasoning clown" that wast more time and had more steps, and chose "Fate"!
With this, he can leave his body and directly invade the target's mental world, which the other party may not be aware of.
The range of using "Fate" like this is 30 meters, and the entire bathroom is not that big!
The turquoise light lit up in the pocket, and it did not destroy the darkness of the outside world.
Shang Jianyao's consciousness instantly appeared in a "sea of origin" shimmering with a shimmering light shrouded in mist.
Countless waves surged up, showing a variety of scenes.
Shang Jianyao didn't go too far, because when Ole died, Marcus was only six years old, and even if there was something important, it was impossible to tell him directly.
There is not much time to view the memory, so Shang Jianyao only selected two related fragments:
First, before and after Ore's death, he left something for Marcus or his mother, that is, Ole's daughter;
The second is what Marcus' mother told him before he died.
The direction was clear enough, and the nine merchants saw that Yao's division of labor was extremely skilled, and it didn't take long to find the information they wanted:
First, Ore did not keep secret items and materials for Marcus and his mother, only real estate, fields, etc. were passed down;
Second, Marcus's mother did say a few words to him before he died:
"Don't complain, don't expect too much, just live a good life as an ordinary nobleman, and beware of 'Mechanical Heaven' and don't believe in 'Source Brain'...... Be careful, be careful of the Eighth Research Institute, try to keep your distance from your cousin, she, she has something terrible there, very, very dangerous...... If, if you encounter an unavoidable crisis, tell the enemy that you know the password to enter the Wasteland No. 13 Ruins Laboratory, yes, that's it, 'Messiah'......"
Shang Jianyao didn't have much time to continue to trace back Marcus's memories, and accepted it when he saw it, so that the power of the "Fate Pearl" was suddenly exerted to the extreme.
This made Marcus dizzy, and he felt that his eyes were black, and all kinds of things had come to him in the past.
This effectively covered up the slight dazedness and confusion caused by Shang Jianyao's invasion of the spiritual world.
Immediately afterwards, Shang Jianyao transferred the remaining power of the Fate Pearl to his "Sea of Origin".
In this way, there will be no problems with the bead in the subsequent "inspection".
Saving is a good virtue.
The turquoise light quickly dimmed, and Jiang Baimian, who was touched by Shang Jianyao, took out his mobile phone.
She made a flashlight mode, pointed it at the switch position, and shouted pretending to be surprised and scared:
"Why is the power out?"
"I don't know." Long Yuehong, who was a bodyguard, answered very cooperatively.
He has a certain distance from the switch, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that he did not do it.
Jiang Baimian ordered in horror:
"Quick, open the door quickly!"
Their conversation, their performance all fell into the eyes of Marcus' four bodyguards, and Marcus also recovered from his dizziness, helped the baffle of the cubicle, and opened the door.
After Long Yuehong, whose heartbeat inevitably increased, opened the door of the bathroom, she pressed the switch several times in a row, but did not let the light come back on.
"It seems that the whole place is without power." He looked back at the aisle leading to the women's bathroom.
The street lights there were also extinguished.
