The man wearing sunglasses combed his short golden brown hair and finally got permission to enter the room.
He complained as he walked:
"Lan, in the whole gray soil, who would take care of their hair as carefully as I do, always combing it neatly? Uh, except you.
"You still dislike the lack of symmetry."
The female voice sounded again, no longer so cold:
"Welf, remember, don't take off your sunglasses, or I'll definitely dig them up.
"It's hard to believe that the effect of genetic improvement can be so bad on you, you are simply a defective product."
As she spoke, her figure appeared in the living room.
She wore a white shirt, blue denim, matching trousers, and a wide-brimmed high-topped felt hat, all the details were so symmetrical.
This includes her oval face, willow eyebrows, long black hair, and bright eyes.
Normally, the human face and even the body cannot be perfectly symmetrical, there will always be a little flaw, but Xu Lan is not, she is like the work of an art master, it can be folded along the central axis, just overlapping, no more, no less.
This makes her less natural and more traces of artificial modification.
Welf, who was accused of being a defective product, was angry, but he didn't dare to show it, so he could only mutter:
"Lan, actually I don't really understand, why do you keep fine-tuning your body, anyway, you can't see yourself, you won't be controlled by damn obsessive-compulsive disorder."
"Do you want me to never look in the mirror? How cruel this is for a lady." Even though Xu Lan laughed, he had been tempered a thousand times, and the angles of his mouth turned upward exactly the same.
Welf did not dare to refute, but instead said:
"But there is no need to spend so much time adjusting clothes and hairstyles, going out for a walk, and fighting once, it will definitely be asymmetrical again."
Xu Lan sneered:
"Stupid logic.
"What you eat every day will pull out, so you don't have to eat?"
As she spoke, she set her sights on the glass coffee table not far away.
On the coffee table, there was an identical water cup on the left and right, as well as the same red jewelry box, and in the middle was a tablet supported by a support frame.
The tablet's camera position hangs down with a thin dark red line, dividing the whole perfectly equally.
Welf was indignant and decided not to partner with this damn obsessive-compulsive woman on the next mission.
In the silent curse, he thought of other colleagues.
That's really hateful in its own way, and it's hard to describe.
A timid and weak person will always make those around him want to bully him.
Welf restrained his mind and watched Xu Lan light up the screen and unlock the lock.
Then the strictly symmetrical lady opened a telegraph analogue and entered a string of numbers.
When the corresponding icon on the tablet showed that there was no network, Xu Lan directly selected "Connect".
The LCD screen suddenly dimmed, as if it had lost all its power in an instant.
It didn't take long for the picture to light up again, and a blurry figure appeared.
This figure stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, the lights outside were bright, like a galaxy falling to the surface.
A little farther away, there is a tall tower that is hazy and goes straight into the sky.
"Have you found the target?" In the snowflakes around him, figures made sounds.
"Yes, 'Doctor'." Xu Lan lowered his head and replied quite respectfully.
On the one hand, she acted like this to express her respect and fear, and on the other hand, she didn't want to witness the scene that made her blood rush to her head:
"Doctor" didn't even stand in the middle of the floor-to-ceiling window, but was a little to the left!
Welf did not bow his head and said with the same respectful attitude:
"I've found a hiding place for the target, but they seem to be aware of it as well."
"So you withdrew again?" The blurred figure clearly knew Welf's style very well.
His tone became serious:
"Blue, you immediately take this tablet and go with Welf to the target hiding place.
"Be sure to lock them!"
"Yes, 'Doctor'!" Xu Lan answered without hesitation.
In a zizizi voice, she picked up a red jewelry box on the coffee table and opened it with a snap.
Inside was an ancient gold ring.
…………
Shang Jianyao led Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen back to the rental house where Gnawa was.
"Did you find anything?" Jiang Baimian spoke a little faster than normal.
Gnava moved his neck made of metal left and right:
"No, everything is normal there."
Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and said:
"It seems to be a trap over there.
"The information we inquire about is all modified memories."
Without waiting for Gnava's response, she directly gave the order:
"The target and his companions have locked on to us and now need to evacuate immediately.
"The details will be discussed in the car."
Soon, the "old tune team" recovered some of the cameras and got into their own jeep and the rented car.
This time, Gnawa followed Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, and listened to them talk about the harvest at Odick's house, the corresponding speculation, and the experience of Bai Chenlong Yuehong.
"One is an awakener in the realm of 'last man', but the price is timid and weak, and the ability to look through and modify memories on a large scale; One is an awakener in the realm of the 'Golden Balance', at the cost of symmetrical obsessive-compulsive disorder, whose abilities are temporarily unknown...... Your inference really explains all the current problems." The red light in Gnava's eyes flashed many times, and all the details were imported into the corresponding model, and a complete analysis was made, "Our previous whereabouts have been exposed, and when we are not sure when the enemy will make a comeback and when we will attack, it is the best way to transfer again."
In the face of such a dangerous enemy, we must seize the initiative.
Jiang Baimian glanced at the alley where the vehicle turned into and said with a smile:
"So, this time I have to take a detour from uninhabited streets and alleys."
In this way, it avoids the tracking method of flipping through memories.
The red light in Gnawa's eyes flashed for a moment and said:
"The exits of these streets and alleys are actually relatively fixed, there are only a few.
"If the other party spared no effort to expand the scope and look through the memories of every human being near the exit, they would definitely still be able to track us.
"It is best for us to disguise the vehicle to some extent in an uninhabited area, and then go out when there are no 'witnesses' in a large area outside by sensing human consciousness.
"Unfortunately, the 'thinking guidance' that feeds does not involve memory, but only interferes with logical ability and way of thinking."
In Gnawa's view, the current plan can also delay the enemy for a while and buy more preparation time for the group.
Jiang Baimian glanced sideways at Shang Jianyao, smiled and said:
"Don't be so troublesome."
The red light in Gnava's eyes flashed again, and he didn't speak again.
After going around from the green olive area to the red giant wolf area, the "old tune group" circled back to the green olive area again.
Shang Jianyao followed Jiang Baimian's instructions and parked the vehicle in front of an ordinary apartment building that was only five stories high.
This is the stronghold of the "True Self Sect"!
Long Yuehong on the jeep behind her opened her eyes wide and didn't know why.
At this time, Jiang Baimian pushed the door and got out of the car, and said to himself:
"Let's rent a room here tonight."
Oh...... As expected of you...... Long Yuehong probably figured out Jiang Baimian's intentions:
Only a few people know about the "True Self Teaching", and it is disguised as an apartment that can be rented.
Therefore, it makes sense to come here to rent a house.
At that time, the "Old Tune Group" will really gain an advantage, and the people of the "True Self Teaching" will see hope, and they will definitely can't help but intervene.
Of course, the premise is that the "True Self Sect" will default to the actions of the "Old Tune Group" and allow them to rent a room here.
Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao took the lead in walking to the apartment, and were unexpectedly stopped by members of the "True Self Sect" disguised as doormen.
"We want to rent a room." Jiang Baimian was very direct.
The doorman was stunned for a moment and said:
"You wait here, I'll ask the owner of the apartment."
He turned his body and hurriedly looked for someone who could make the decision.
After about seven or eight minutes, he returned to the door and said to several members of the "Old Tune Group" expressionlessly:
"Please come in, the residents of a room on the top floor have just moved out."
He didn't mention how much the rent was.
Jiang Baimian laughed, smiling very beautifully:
"Thank you."
After the "old adjustment team" found a place to park the vehicle and entered the room on the top floor, Shang Jianyao threw the tactical backpack in front of him.
He pulled open the zipper and took out the "Angel of Life" necklace.
To do this, he had to stand on one foot.
Shang Jianyao immediately threw the silver necklace to Jiang Baimian.
"Huh?" While Jiang Baimian stretched out his left hand to catch it, his right arm was weak and drooping.
This is the company has pointed out that it can be used to fight against dangerous items, and she feels that it can only be used in the hands of the strongest person in the group.
Shang Jianyao smiled at her and said:
"I am afraid that the target and his companions will use the power of 'nightmare'.
"With this necklace, you can protect yourself against this risk to some extent."
That's right, but ...... Jiang Baimian asked:
"What about you?"
Shang Jianyao didn't answer immediately, and grabbed the "Six Consciousness Beads" from his tactical backpack.
He threw it to Long Yuehong:
"You hold it."
"I can't use it." After Long Yuehong stretched out her hand to catch it, her eyes instantly turned a little red.
As an ordinary person, he will only suffer negative effects.
"It has some strange aura integrated into the Buddhist holy land, and has a certain probability of helping you reduce the impact of 'nightmares', so you have to wear it all the time, even if you rest, you can't take it off." Shang Jianyao said very seriously.
After saying that, he smiled and said without knowing which personality he switched to:
"At that time, your dreams will be messy, and you may not be able to bear to look directly at the 'nightmare'."
"Okay......" Long Yuehong hesitated and agreed.
At this time, the honest Gnava said worriedly:
"Will this lead to congestive necrosis?"
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little awkward.
Fortunately, Shang Jianyao was not an ordinary person, he took out the little jade Buddha from his pocket with a normal expression and threw it to Bai Chen:
"It also has its own peculiarities."
Bai Chen thought for a moment and said:
"Why don't I exchange items with Xiaohong?
"I have suffered that kind of suffering, and I am used to it, and I can endure it."
This time, she spoke frankly about what happened in the past, and there was no color on her face.
"Okay." Shang saw that Yao was good like a stream.
When Bai Chen and Long Yuehong exchanged items, Jiang Baimian looked at Shang Jianyao half confused and half concerned:
"You gave us all the special items, what should you do with yourself?"
Shang Jianyao looked around and said with a smile:
"I have Teacher Du Heng and Xiao Chong to help."
He stressed the word Xiao Chong.
Jiang Baimian immediately understood his true meaning:
In his "Sea of Origin", there is still a residual breath of Xiao Chong!
