long night fire

Jiang Baimian sneered:

"How long can this last?

"The company also saw that there was a gap between Xu Liyan and the 'First City', so they thought about whether they could win over.

"If it succeeds, even if you have developed from 'brotherly love' to 'judgment of justice', we don't have to worry about not being able to get out of Wild Grass City."

The interest relationship is the easiest to change and the most stable relationship.

Shang Jian Yao thought for a moment, then asked:

"What is a mutually beneficial relationship?"

"It means that we are not together in terms of status, but if we have money, we can make money together, if we have blessings, we can enjoy it together, if we are in trouble, uh, I will give some support depending on the situation. In short, I can easily bury a nail and make the 'First City' feel uncomfortable. Directors I must be very satisfied." Jiang Baimian explained casually.

"Why are they like children?" Shang Jianyao commented.

Jiang Baimian rolled his eyes.

……

As the life and death friend of the city lord, Shang Jianyao met Xu Liyan without any effort.

Beside him is still the robed mechanical monk Jing Nian.

As soon as he saw Jing Nian, Shang Jianyao shook his body slightly with a strange rhythm, and was glared back by Jiang Baimian.

"Master Xu, there is something I want to talk to you about." Jiang Baimian indicated with his eyes that this is not suitable for Chan Master Jing Nian to hear.

Xu Liyan smiled and shook his head:

"Based on the relationship between me and Jian Yao, if you have anything to say, just say it.

"Well, don't worry about Zen Master, we have a confidentiality agreement, and the monks have always been very trustworthy."

Jiang Baimian didn't insist, he pulled the chair opposite the desk and sat down.

She smiled slightly:

"City Master Xu, have you considered enhancing your own strength?"

Hearing these words, Shang Jianyao glanced sideways at the team leader and closed his mouth tightly.

Xu Liyan's expression suddenly became serious:

"How do you say that?"

Jiang Baimian's eyes swept from Xu Liyan to Jing Nian, the mechanical monk, and then looked back:

"Like this attack, once the enemy broke through the blockade of the bodyguards and restricted Zen Master Jing Nian's activities, you, the city lord, are like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, you can rub it as you like.

"I know that you can hire a lot of bodyguards, including the guild's 'advanced hunters'. Normally, it is very difficult for someone to assassinate you, but don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case. At the critical moment, it may be a winner.

"You should be very clear that there are too many weapons and humans in this world that go beyond the conventional."

For Xu Liyan, the "priest" incident was the most dangerous situation he had ever experienced since he was born. Whenever he thought of his trembling and helplessness in the nick of time, he felt terrified and uneasy, so he had nightmares for several days .

"Then what should we do?" Xu Liyan tried his best not to be so eager.

Jiang Baimian smiled:

"On gray soil, there are many channels to improve yourself, but there are very few ways to go beyond the norm:

"One is to become an awakened person, but it really depends on fate. You can succeed without trying hard or having power; the second is to upload your consciousness and become an 'eternal person'. It's not a small temptation, but you are still young, the city owner, and there are still many things you haven't enjoyed; the third is mechanical transformation. With your relationship with the "prime city", it's not that difficult, but you may not be able to get the best equipment, and , the image is not that good..."

After talking a lot, Jiang Baimian changed the subject:

"Look, my biological prosthesis doesn't look abnormal in appearance, but it has abilities beyond human beings."

A silvery white arc jumped out between her fingers.

Xu Liyan was silent for a moment and said:

"Are you from 'Pangaea'?"

"Yes." Jiang Baimian responded with a smile, "Compared to immature genetic modification, biological prosthetic technology is quite reliable."

Xu Liyan looked at her quietly for more than ten seconds, and finally asked:

"What do you want?"

Jiang Baimian laughed:

"We want very little.

"You are still alive, you still control Wild Grass City, and you still maintain the freedom of Wild Grass City, that is enough for us.

"If it also allows us to buy some items here that cannot be bought in normal trade, then we will be very grateful.

"Master Xu, putting weight on one side of the scale will not maintain the balance."

Xu Liyan thought for a moment, but did not answer directly:

"I'll think about it again."

Chapter 62 Interrogation

On the way to the prison of the fake "priest", Shang Jianyao said:

"He's so hypocritical, he's already very moved, and he said he needs to think about it again."

"He" refers to Xu Liyan, the owner of Weed City.

Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao:

"It's normal. Promising too soon will look cheap."

"Sincerity is the most important thing between brothers." Shang Jianyao objected.

Jiang Baimian followed his logic and said:

"You and him are brothers does not mean that the company and him are brothers."

Jiang Baimian originally wanted to joke, "If you have the ability to make all the directors of the board of directors your brothers, the rounding up is equivalent to the company and Xu Liyan becoming brothers", but considering Shang Jianyao's action, he dismissed this idea in time.

While talking, they came to the detention center and met the person in charge.

After showing Xu Liyan's warrant to the other party, the two were welcomed into a small room.

The main body of the room is the console with multiple screens above it.

At this moment, all the screens present the same picture: a small room with only one bed and one chair.

In the small room, the sick fake "priest" was sitting on a chair, looking at the opposite wall, where there seemed to be a big screen.

"He has a powerful 'hypnotic' ability. It's better for the two of you not to have close contact with him. It's safer to be separated by electronic products." The person in charge briefly explained the reason for the current design.

Of course, it was impossible for Jiang Baimian to tell the person in charge that Shang Jianyao was also an awakened person and could make friends with a fake "priest". She nodded and said:

"So fine."

After she sat down with Shang Jianyao, following the operation of the person in charge, the scenes on the screens were connected together to form a whole.

This gives the feeling that there is only a piece of glass between the two parties.

Then, the door of that small room opened, and a silver-gray metal robot walked in, adjusting the screen opposite the fake "priest".

Obviously, a human cannot "hypnotize" a machine.

"The power of technology..." Jiang Baimian sighed.

Not long after, the fake "priest" saw the situation in the monitoring room through the screen.

"It's you." The sickly man leaned back in his chair and said calmly.

Jiang Baimian suddenly smiled and said:

"You're pretty calm."

The fake "priest" raised his head slightly and said:

"Since the nickname is 'Father', he must have been ready to die for the Lord."

His tone was flat, as if Jiang Baimian and the others were not the ones being imprisoned.

Jiang Baimian knows that such people have a strong self-logic. If you follow their rhythm and fall into their logic, it will be difficult to break their hearts and ask enough valuable details.

Of course, if it doesn't work, they can still ask Odick, a member of the "Shang Jian Yao Brotherhood" for help.

It's just that this will be more troublesome, because the dream guidance is obviously directional, and the scope of coverage will not be too wide, so it needs to be tried again and again.

Jiang Baimian then glanced sideways, motioning for Shang Jianyao to ask first.

This is her strategy, to let Shang Jianyao, who doesn't play cards according to common sense, disrupt the opponent's rhythm.

Shang Jian Yao said without hesitation:

"What is your 'anti-intellectual' sacrament?"

His expression was quite serious, as if he was asking a crucial question.

The fake "priest" froze for a moment, feeling like the momentum he had built up fell into the void.

This is not something worth caring about, so the fake "priest" replied casually:

"Rice soup, lotus root starch, stewed eggs and other things that are easier to eat."

"Do you all think of yourself as babies?" Shang Jian Yao asked abruptly.

The fake "priest" was stunned again, and after thinking for a while, he said:

"Human instincts are possessed from birth, and our goal is to leave most people with only instinct and experience."

"It's okay for babies to eat this kind of sacrament, but adults will not feel full, so they can only experience it occasionally." Shang Jianyao completely ignored the fake "priest"'s response, and said to himself, "Really, you should and The religious groups that believe in carrying out the command of the year have more exchanges and exchanges."

The fake "priest" couldn't keep up with this guy's thinking at all, so he chose to give up and shut his mouth.

"I think these religious organizations of yours are too old-fashioned. If you can communicate frequently, learn from each other, and absorb each other's strengths, it will definitely attract believers more than it is now. At least I will consider it." Shang Jianyao made a suggestion.

The veins on the fake "priest"'s forehead twitched slightly, resisting the urge to refute.

"Speaking of which, aren't the people in your sect all stupid? For example, you spent so much effort, but in the end you didn't do anything, and you sent yourself here." Shang Jianyao looked like he really wanted to make a fake " "Father" discusses the failure of anti-intellectual education.

The fake "priest" breathed a little heavier, and he said in a deep voice:

"It's just bad luck this time, and I met you and Audike together."

"Luck?" Jiang Baimian seized the opportunity and said with a smile, "When you knew that Lei Yunsong and the others belonged to the 'Pan Gu creatures' and chose to use them as scapegoats, you should have thought that the 'Pang Gu creatures' They will definitely send someone to investigate, and they are relatively powerful.

"Under such circumstances, shouldn't you implement the plan as soon as possible?

"Who knows, you guys dragged it off for a month and a half until we came to officially start it. Do you have procrastination? Or do you have suicidal tendencies in your subconscious?

"If you don't have any, then I can only regretfully think that your brain has been sacrificed to the person who executes the end of the year."

The fake "priest" took a deep breath and said sullenly:

"In order to wait for the weather to be colder, a large number of wilderness wanderers gathered here."

"You can change to another plan. Why are you so rigid? Your goal is to assassinate Xu Liyan, not mess up Weed City." Jiang Baimian was like an instructor, sharply hitting the students' self-confidence.

Then, she changed the topic and asked with a smile:

"Did someone tell you that you had to do this?"

The fake "priest" trembled slightly, and his eyes opened a little unconsciously.

Jiang Baimian didn't give the fake "priest" a chance to find a reason, so he laughed and followed closely:

"Don't you know that when you were dealing with Odick, Xu Liyan was attacked and almost killed him?"

"What?" The expression of the fake "priest" changed a lot.

With a smile on his face, Jiang Baimian told the story of the real "Father"'s attack and the goal he wanted to achieve, and finally asked:

"If it wasn't a coincidence, the nobles of the whole Wild Grass City would have gone to the sky with a bang, and then, the regular army of the 'First City' would forcefully move in under the pretext of quelling the riots.

"Isn't this crazier, more imaginative, and closer to success than your plan?"

The fake "priest" lowered his head slightly with a gloomy face, and did not respond, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Compared to him, I think you are like a fake 'priest'." After a series of foreshadowing, Jiang Baimian finally said this sentence.

The eyes of the fake "priest" froze suddenly, and his body trembled more and more violently.

Jiang Baimian continued:
