long night fire

Jiang Baimian is no stranger to such words:

"It's not necessarily that he is leading here."

"Take it as it is." Shang Jianyao tried hard to convince the team leader.

Jiang Baimian "followed the goodness", said "hmm" twice:

"From this point of view, Lei Yunsong, Lin Feifei and the others may have been hypnotized, or tampered with in memory.

"So, they can move freely, but they don't contact the company.

"The question is, what about the remaining three team members? Why are there no traces of them?

"'Anti-intellectualism' hypnotizes Lin Feifei and the others, and why? It's not just to find some gunmen, is it?"

Shang Jianyao disagreed:

"Based on their IQ, it's possible."

"This is troublesome, I can't infer the thinking of this kind of person..." Jiang Baimian said a little embarrassed, "But at present, the 'anti-intellectual religion' just makes ordinary believers give up thinking, and the God-chosen ones are responsible for it." Guide, they shouldn't be stupid."

Speaking of which, she remembered something:

"Do you still remember the suspected attack in the company?"

"Remember." Shang Jianyao was suddenly in high spirits, "Could it be that he is a spy of the Last Man Sect who has been planted in the Siming Sect?"

"It's not so... Now it seems that although the awakened people in each religious organization are mostly in the corresponding field, there are many exceptions... I don't know if awakening can only be guided and cannot be precisely controlled, or Did the higher-ups do this intentionally, lest the ability be too pure and be restrained by hostile forces?" Jiang Baimian thought about it and said, "In short, we have to remind Xiaobai and Xiaohong to make some preparations later to prevent the influence of hypnosis or memory."

When it was almost noon, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong came back and reported the various news they had inquired in the morning:

"In the matter of Eugene's disappearance, there are mainly three people who are currently suspected.

"One is Zhao Zhengqi, the Patriarch of the Zhao Mansion on North Street. He is a member of the Noble Council of Weed Grass City. He is also organizing slave capture. He is a competitor with Eugene's gang and has had a lot of troubles.

"The second is Sun Jing, the younger brother of Sun Fei, the leader of the underground trading market. He owns a bar and a nightclub in Wild Wolf Lane, and he has a gang of thugs. He is very powerful. He is suspected because his favorite daughter Missing many years ago, suspected to be kidnapped by Eugene.

"The third is certain people from the noble council. They deliberately made Eugene disappear, and they wanted to use this as an excuse to bring the slave hunting team and the army from the original city into the city to achieve their ulterior purpose."

After Jiang Baimian finished listening, he said with a smile:

"It's really convincing. I almost believed it was one of these three, if we weren't the real murderer."

Chapter 41 Triple Effect

Shang Jianyao immediately agreed, slapped his thigh and said:

"I almost thought we were not the real culprits."

It's as if you just heard that you attacked Eugene, turned him into a slave, and brought him back... Long Yuehong couldn't help but slander.

Of course, he didn't have the idea of ​​arguing with mental patients about this issue, lest Shang Jianyao start repeating "Hey, I'm only 1 meters tall after genetic modification".

——During the chat, Long Yuehong asked Shang Jianyao about the attack on Eugene, hoping to learn something from it.

Jiang Baimian ignored Shang Jianyao and said with a smile:

"The current state is very good, basically no one will doubt us.

"I'm afraid that things will become more and more troublesome. Different forces in the city will start to fish in troubled waters and pursue their own interests. That will easily turn Weed City into a powder keg, and it will explode at any point."

Having said that, Jiang Baimian looked at Bai Chen indifferently:

"The 20 Ore you just received can also be used to buy food. There is food in hand, so don't panic."

"Okay." Bai Chen, who was sitting on the stool in front of the table, nodded.

Jiang Baimian immediately took out the paper from Chen Xufeng and handed it to Bai Chen:

"Take a look first."

Long Yuehong immediately got up, picked up the stool, moved to Bai Chen's side, and browsed with her.

"Hypnosis, memory... no wonder..." Seeing the end, Long Yuehong made a sound of sudden realization.

He also made up for what is called hypnosis.

"From this point of view, Lin Feifei and the others are indeed under the control of the 'Anti-Intellectual Religion', rather than being framed by someone." Unlike before, Bai Chen expressed his thoughts relatively more actively.

"It's not completely ruled out. It can only be said that the possibility is very low. It's not such a coincidence." Jiang Baimian agreed.

Then she thought about it and said:

"Judging from the behavior style of the 'anti-intellectual religion', they are more extreme and like to make big things happen.

"From this point of view, can we guess that they are gradually becoming active in Wild Grass City, and besides the missionary needs, they are also preparing to do something big?

"This has nothing to do with Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei from 'Pangaean Creatures'. Normally, it is impossible to affect them, unless..."

Jiang Baimian paused, and Long Yuehong blurted out:

"Unless they accidentally broke through the plot of 'anti-intellectualism'?"

"It may also be that there is an intersection from Wild Grass City in the middle, and Lei Yunsong, Lin Feifei and the others were involved because of this." Bai Chen continued to speculate.

Not to be outdone, Shang Jian Yao expressed his thoughts:

"There is another possibility:

"When the 'Anti-Intellectual Cult' was distributing leaflets, they were bumped into by Lei Yunsong and the others, and there was a conflict. They became furious and kept doing nothing, and sought out the strong inside the sect to save face."

"How irritable is this?" Jiang Baimian tactfully denied, "Although this fits the stupid setting of the 'Anti-Wisdom Religion', it can be seen from their teachings that their chosen one is quite smart , so as not to cause unnecessary complications.”

She looked around and said:

"Temporarily investigate according to breaking the conspiracy and being involved in other incidents."

"Yes, team leader!" Long Yuehong responded with her head held high, happy that her ideas were affirmed.

Jiang Baimian turned to remind:

"Next, we will start dealing with this 'anti-intellectualism', hoping to find them as soon as possible.

"In this process, no one can guarantee safety. You'd better make some preparations to prevent yourself from being hypnotized at any time, or losing important memories, or adding memories you shouldn't have."

Long Yuehong hurriedly asked for advice:

"Captain, what should I do?"

Jiang Baimian smiled:

"Don't be too nervous. Look, isn't Eugene, who is so strong, quickly dealt with?"

"Team leader, as soon as you said 'look', I wondered if I was influenced by the 'reasoning clown', and regarded Shang Jianyao as you, and you as Shang Jianyao..." Long Yuehong replied in a low voice One sentence.

"Ah?" Jiang Baimian touched his metal cochlea.

Then, she smiled:

"Aren't I Shang Jianyao?"

"Okay, just kidding." She restrained her expression and gave her own opinion, "You can prepare some small notes for personal storage, and write down a few key memories in a way that others can't understand but you can understand. Go up, and mark 'this is the standard', after that, take a look at it every once in a while, and check your own state against it."

"Okay." Bai Chen agreed after a little thought.

Jiang Baimian looked at her and suddenly remembered something:

"By the way, Odick asked you, right? How did you ask? Relying on the influence of dreams?"

"Well, I didn't know when I fell asleep, and I didn't know I was dreaming. Fortunately, I found Shang Jianyao's paper-folded star, and I woke up." Bai Chen briefly described.

"It's not easy." Shang Jian Yao commented.

I don't know what he was referring to.

Jiang Baimian thought for a while, and added for him:

"This is the most difficult application of the 'reasoning clown' under the current circumstances.

"It makes your subconscious believe that there is such a little paper-folded star on your body, so it reflects in the dream.

"In reality, matter cannot be fabricated, so you can't touch it."

"What's strangest to me is that when I can't touch the paper-folded star in reality, shouldn't the effect of the 'reasoning clown' be removed?" Bai Chen was a little puzzled.

Shang Jian Yao laughed:

"It's simple, I'm attaching a triple effect, not a double.

"Do you still remember what I said after you deduced that there was a little star made of paper in your pocket? That is also a 'reasoning'."

Bai Chen recalled:

"You mean 'it's mysterious, it involves supernatural power, it's an important prop, it can't be touched now, and it can't be touched'?"

Clap, clap, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands.

He explained excitedly:

"The first effect is to make you think that the team leader and I are strangers, and ignore the relevant memories.

"The second effect is that you are influenced by me, a stranger, to think that you have a paper star in your pocket.

"The third effect is to let you come to the conclusion that you can't touch the star now. In this way, when you fail to find it in reality, you still believe that it will appear in your dream."

"If I hadn't met Odick later, wouldn't this effect never be lifted?" Bai Chen asked.

Shang Jian Yao shook his head:

"After you sleep, if you don't dream anything or dream about something else, it will be lifted naturally."

Seeing that Bai Chen was relieved, Jiang Baimian began to summarize:

"From this point of view, Odick's Awakened abilities include forced sleep and dream interference.

"Uh, in the dream, how did you feel?"

"Before I took out the paper-folded star, I felt a little dazed, almost like a normal dream. I knew who I was, but I didn't feel anything unusual about the changes in the surrounding environment." Bai Chen said truthfully.

Jiang Baimian muttered to himself thoughtfully:

"This is quite different from the real dream of the nightmare horse."

"At that time, in the dream, I was sober and felt that I was in reality." Shang Jianyao added enthusiastically.

Jiang Baimian nodded lightly:

"Because it is real enough, the damage received in the dream will be reflected in reality.

"Well, Odick's ability to affect dreams should not be the same as Nightmare Horse's. One can be called 'real dreams', and the other can only be called 'manipulating dreams'.

"It is true that Odick's dream ability is weaker than that of the nightmare horse, but he also has the ability to 'force sleep', which must not be underestimated."

As long as it is used in conjunction with guns within the corresponding range, this is simply a bug.

After discussing this matter, Jiang Baimian returned to the topic:

"The most important question now is how do we find people who are 'anti-intellectualism'?"

"After the power outage, the people who squatted to guard them distributing leaflets? Well, in the current situation in Weed City, there should be many patrols at night, and they should not dare to come out..." Long Yuehong first put forward an opinion, and then made her own Negatively, "Look around the library? They might take advantage of the chaos to burn down the library again."

"After the library was burned once, it was already guarded by heavily armed city defense troops." Jiang Baimian went in and out of the library several times, and he had a good understanding of this aspect.

Shang Jianyao then showed a troubled expression:

"The information is not detailed enough.

"If we can figure out what the sacrament of 'anti-intellectualism' is, we can go to the corresponding stores and market research."

"...that's a way of thinking." Jiang Baimian had to admit that mentally ill people can always find directions that normal people would not think about, "You can either ask Audike, or send a telegram to the company, um, we have to figure it out ourselves With a radio transceiver, we can’t rely on Chen Xufeng all the time, on the one hand, it’s easy to expose him, on the other hand, there are too many intermediate links, not timely enough, and the critical moment may be delayed because of this.”

She looked around and continued:

"Besides this, there is another direction.

"Think about it, if the 'anti-intellectual religion' wants to destroy knowledge, besides one of the carriers of knowledge, books, which group will it target?"

"Teacher!" Long Yuehong, who had received formal education since childhood, immediately responded.

Jiang Baimian nodded in satisfaction:

"Although in Wild Grass City, the teachers of regular schools all live in North Street, which is relatively safe, but we must not forget some other people.

"In some settlements of homeless people in the wilderness, there is no public school like Shuiwei Town, but some people hope that their children can at least read and write. For some materials, please ask one or two part-time teachers to teach for a few months, and then it will depend on the actual situation.

"You have also seen that the living conditions of the citizens of Wild Grass City are better than most of the people in the wilderness settlements, and the population is also much larger. Could it be that there are some children who cannot go to North Street to study, and the elders have no time. Or families who are unable to teach, unite and invite a few teachers to do short-term education?
