For some reason, Long Yuehong heard a little sadness from the voice of the old man wearing the aluminum pot an octave higher, and at the same time felt that he had some kind of indescribable anticipation.
Bai Chen was silent for a few seconds, and then asked:
"Why do you think there is such a thing as brain control?"
The old man wearing the aluminum pot seemed to be a little out of breath due to the excitement just now, and took two breaths before saying:
"Did I not say it very clearly just now?
"If it weren't for the EEG and the secret control of this kind of thing, how could those who had been tested by the mountains of corpses and blood suddenly change and even give up their ideals?
"There is still ......"
He paused, and his head wearing the aluminum pot seemed to be raised a little:
"As relic hunters, if you can come all the way to Wubei, you must have seen the so-called awakened ones.
"They use brain waves to influence targets and achieve various strange effects, which is one of the manifestations of brain control!
"However, this method of human interference is still too inefficient, and the mastermind behind the destruction of the old world has created an EEG machine, which can cover one or even several cities at a time, affecting hundreds of thousands of humans!
"Only people like us who are prepared and put on aluminum pots can escape this secret control, maintain independent thinking, remember their ideals, and not join them!"
The old man became emotional again, and the next few sentences were accented.
Long Yuehong blurted out:
"Wearing an aluminum pot can prevent the Awakened from exerting influence?"
The old man's face above his nose was blocked by an off-white aluminum pot, making it impossible to see the change in his expression:
"Yes, it must be!
"Let me tell you, if I hadn't been wearing an aluminum pot all the time, I would have become a 'mindless person' long ago. The mastermind behind the scenes will not be merciful to those who discover the secret of brain control, either completely control it, prevent you from having independent thinking, or directly destroy your brain and make you a 'mindless person'!
"Many of my comrades-in-arms were just not cautious enough, and they didn't wear aluminum pots all the time, and they didn't control secretly, so they suddenly contracted 'unintentional disease' and were eliminated, hey......"
But Shang Jianyao said before that he could sense the consciousness of the two passers-by wearing aluminum pots, and being able to sense consciousness indicates that he could exert influence...... Long Yuehong muttered in her heart, but didn't say anything, for fear of stimulating the sensitive and extreme nerves of the old man opposite.
And he also remembered that Ding Ling said that this group of people who promote brain control always wear aluminum pots think that they can avoid the infection of "heartless disease" in this way, but they didn't.
Of course, these people seem to have found a suitable reason to explain it internally.
After listening quietly, Bai Chen suddenly asked:
"Why did you tell us so much?"
She originally prepared a whole set of speeches, trying to induce the other party to say something related, but she didn't expect everything to go so smoothly, so smooth that she felt that maybe she and others were just acting as listeners at the right time and in the right place.
The old man wearing an aluminum pot waved his right hand:
"I saw that you have just entered northern Wubei, and most of you have not encountered brain control, so I shared these things with you.
At this moment, Long Yuehong felt that if Shang Jianyao was here, she would probably take a step forward, press her left chest with her right hand, and shout the slogan "For all mankind" impassionedly.
Bai Chen was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond, and simply squeezed out two words:
"Thank you."
The old man wearing an aluminum pot was about to say something more when he suddenly turned around and headed towards the back door of the hotel not far away.
"The lackeys of the fallen are coming, I hear his footsteps, and I am leaving." The old man waved his hand, buried his head, looked at the road under his feet, and walked step by step towards the side exit of the parking lot.
Long Yuehong and Bai Chen followed the old man's previous turn, looked at the back door of the small building, and saw the middle-aged hotel manager who was a little grateful to him standing there, his expression was embarrassed and ugly.
At this moment, the old man who was walking out slowly shouted again:
"Remember to find an aluminum pot and put it on!"
The hotel manager finally came back to his senses, walked quickly to Bai Chen and Long Yuehong, and said angrily and urgently:
"Don't listen to him, he has ...... in his head"
As he spoke, the hotel manager raised his finger and pointed to his temple:
"Problem!"
Bai Chen remained calm, deliberately showing a hint of doubt on his face:
"Who is he, it feels strange?"
Hey, the team leader Xiaobai learned very well...... Or would she have performed like this before joining the company? Long Yuehong's focus is not too right.
The hotel manager glanced left and right, lowering his voice:
"He is a veteran soldier who joined our 'Salvation Army' during the founding period and has survived to the present, you also know that people who have experienced large-scale wars and casualties must have some kind of war trauma syndrome, and in the chaotic era and the early period of the new calendar, no one paid attention to this piece, it would be good if everyone could live.
"He was like this, and so were many of his comrades-in-arms, some of whom even started drinking, and our 'Salvation Army' had a considerable part of its resources on them.
"Forget it, after he and his comrades-in-arms who also had traumatic syndrome quit their front-line positions, the problem became more serious, and they began to be suspicious, always feeling that someone was trying to harm them, and always felt that the committee members and directors who were still on the front line had fallen, forgot their ideals, and didn't look at what era this was, and didn't look at the current problems were different.
"Later, they organized an anti-secret control organization like a mental illness, calling on everyone to wear aluminum pots to escape the brain control of the masterminds behind the scenes.
For a middle-aged hotel manager, it is quite good to know such a word, which shows that the "Salvation Army" has been doing popular education for a long time.
Why can a hotel manager say that the current problem has changed, from how to survive to how to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm...... Bai Chen had such a question flashed through his heart, but what came out of his mouth was completely unrelated:
"Manager, why did he come to the hotel parking lot?"
The hotel manager sighed and said:
"He and his old comrades-in-arms live in a nearby nursing home, and people of their qualifications want to forcibly enter the hotel, how dare we stop them?
"He, he originally liked to stop young people on the road to talk about brain control and depravity, but later no one liked to listen to it, so he targeted outsiders living in our hotel.
"He often comes over, pretends to accidentally touch something, falls to the ground, and waits for someone to help him, and then he can take this opportunity to talk to the helper about brain control."
Oh...... Long Yuehong was stunned when she heard this.
He finally determined that he and Xiaobai were really "touched".
It turned out that the old man deliberately hit the jeep and waited for someone to help him, and the reason why he kept sitting there without any injuries was because it was ineffective if he got up too early.
No wonder Xiaobai answered whatever he asked, and he took the initiative to unfold and talk a lot of ...... The more Long Yuehong thought about it, the more she felt that she was too stupid and naïve at the time.
Bai Chen also stayed for a few seconds before frowning slightly and said:
"Will the merchants who come to trade and the ruin hunters who enter really come to help him?"
Based on her many years of experience as a wilderness wanderer, she didn't think that these two types of people would have any kind of kindness, like Wu Shoushi was too few.
The hotel manager laughed:
"Many people are always willing to show their kindness in order to be part of our 'Salvation Army'.
"Hehe, good people and good deeds are really possible to help them shorten the period of settlement, which is encouraged by the 'Material Coordination Committee'."
I see...... Long Yuehong thinks this policy is still good.
He and Bai Chen said goodbye to the hotel manager named Shen Kang and returned to the room on the third floor through the normal passage.
…………
When Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao returned, Bai Chen took the initiative to talk about the old man wearing an aluminum pot.
Shang Jianyao's eyes lit up when he heard this, turned his head sideways, and said to Long Yuehong:
"Why don't you try an aluminum pot and see if I can control you?"
"No." Long Yuehong shook her head without hesitation.
This is obviously possible!
Gnava gave a negative from a scientific point of view:
"This is not possible, unless the aluminum pot covers the whole body and is grounded, it can produce an electromagnetic shielding effect."
"Maybe you can give it a try......" Jiang Baimian thought about it.
She also wanted to see if the Awakened People's abilities were powered by electromagnetic waves.
Long Yuehong suddenly felt a little nervous.
Bai Chen turned to talk about the hotel manager's loud remarks.
In this regard, Jiang Baimian smiled and said:
"It's very understandable, since that old man comes to the hotel from time to time to find someone to 'confide', he must have told him about brain control and depravity, and he is a person who will accept benefits and betray a little 'Salvation Army' interests.
"In this case, listen to the radio more, read more documents issued, and chat more with the people around you, and you will naturally form a self-consistent rhetoric."
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Baimian was about to greet the team members to lunch in the hotel restaurant when the radio suddenly sounded in the room, in the corridor and high on the street outside.
It rang at the same time.
A male voice that clearly used a voice changer said in a high-pitched voice:
"Everyone, I'm a game enthusiast.
"I want to play a game with you guys now:
"I have hidden a nuclear warhead somewhere in northern Ukraine, and within three days, if you don't find it, it will explode with a 'bang'.
"Everyone, work hard, I hope northern Wubei will not be reduced to ruins in a grand fireworks."
After the male voice said these few words, it no longer appeared, and the sound of electricity came from the radio.
