long night fire

Having said that, she patted her palms:

"Take a break, and I have to meet the company's intelligence officer at night."

……

At seven forty in the evening, it was already dark.

Red Giant Wolf District, Bliss Street, Silver Candle Cafe.

After Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Gnawa entered the monitoring positions, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao pushed open the slightly heavy door inlaid with glass and walked in.

The tables here are all a bit greasy, apparently also working part-time as a restaurant.

Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian each ordered a cup of coffee, found a corner seat by the window, and sat down.

Not long after, two cups of coffee called "Bucha" by the locals came over.

Jiang Baimian sniffed lightly, picked up the cup, and took a sip.

"It's not too fragrant, and the taste is very ordinary, quite bland..." She suppressed her voice and commented.

It's better than the coffee I drank at Gnava's house back then.

Moreover, the milk and sugar here are more valuable, and if you want to pay extra, sometimes it may not be available.

Shang Jian Yao then picked up the cup, Gulu took two sips.

"Quite thirst-quenching." He also expressed his feelings.

Jiang Baimian let out a "hmm":

"It's supposed to be for lower-middle-class citizens.

"The entire dusty soil, where food can be grown, must have been planted with food. How many good coffee beans can there be, and how many instant solubles can be made?"

The two were drinking and talking like normal customers. At this moment, a person came to the table behind them and sat down with his back to them.

The street frontage of that location is a wall, which cannot be seen by passers-by.

After about a minute, the person next to Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao's chair back suddenly suppressed his voice and said in a low voice:

"I'm 'Garibaldi'."

He speaks Gray Earth.

Jiang Baimian froze for a moment, turned his head, looked at Shang Jianyao and said:

"Ah, what are you talking about? I have bad ears."

While speaking, she raised her hand to touch her metal cochlea.

The man who called himself "Garibaldi" suddenly slumped in his seat.

He didn't expect that his carefully prepared secret meeting would encounter almost insurmountable difficulties at the very beginning.

There must be at least one prerequisite for back-to-back communication that pretends not to know each other:

The other party must be able to hear what you are saying.

Fortunately, Shang Jianyao controlled his voice and imitated his performance:

"I'm 'Garibaldi'."

Hearing this, Jiang Baimian nodded and let out a slow breath.

"Garibaldi" was the code name of the company intelligence officer.

"I'm the team leader of the company's 'Old Tune Team', have you collected information about the target?" With his bad ears, Jiang Baimian could only suppress his voice so as not to be accidentally caught by the guests at other tables. hear.

She also speaks Gray Earth.

This time, I couldn't hear "Garibaldi" clearly.

Shang Jianyao acted as an interpreter and seemed to enjoy it.

After "Garibaldi" figured out what Jiang Baimian was asking, he quickly answered:

"The general situation of the two targets has been figured out and written in the materials. In addition, the company has prepared 1000 Ore for you as mission funds, so that you can buy people around the targets."

The company is quite generous this time... The intelligence network in the original city seems to be very rich... After Jiang Baimian heard Shang Jianyao's report, he muttered a few words in surprise.

However, this is still a bit far from the Ole needed to trade military exoskeleton devices and robotic arms.

"Garibaldi" continued:

"What else do you need?"

Jiang Baimian looked at Shang Jianyao, was silent for a few seconds and said:

"I want the detailed information on the assassination of the Elder Dean Sols by the 'Anti-Intellectual Cult'.

"Uh, we had a conflict with the 'Anti-Intellectual Cult' in Wild Grass City, and we found their traces not long after we arrived in Primordial City. We must take precautions early."

She spoke with dignity, and every word was true.

"Okay, give us some time." "Garibaldi" didn't shirk.

After Shang Jianyao's translation, Jiang Baimian thought for a while and asked:

"What's worth paying attention to in the original city recently?"

"Garibaldi" recalled for a moment and said:

"Nothing special, I have to say, there are barely two things: one is that a strange white giant wolf appeared in the mountains on the north bank, you can go to the hunter's guild to find out more about it; The exaggerated views expressed at the citizens' assembly caused the dissatisfaction of many elders, including the Ombudsman Alexander."

Members of the Senate may be called presbyters, senators, councilors, or elders.

There are three giants in the "First City" in name, namely the consul, the inspector, and the chief of homeland security. The latter is also known as the commander in chief, but currently the consul Beuris is also in charge.

——The three giants are all elected by the Senate every four years.

With his amazing memory, Shang Jianyao repeated the words of "Garibaldi" word for word.

This makes "Garibaldi" inexplicably feel that the other party is yin and yang:

For this kind of retelling, it is enough to express the meaning clearly. How can there be any reason to recite the whole text without letting go of the modal particles?

After Jiang Baimian listened carefully, he thought for a while and said:

"There is nothing else to ask. If there is anything else to ask for your help, I will contact you again."

"It doesn't matter who helps who. This is our job. It might be better to use cooperation." "Garibaldi" said politely, and said, "I put the things on the table, don't forget."

As soon as he finished speaking, he left his seat and walked towards the door of this silver candle cafe.

In order not to let others find out, ask questions, and find the owner, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian only waited for a while, then turned around and looked at the table behind.

There was a small gray cloth bag.

Seeing Yao sitting outside, Shang took the bag back first, and hid it in his arms.

During this process, both he and Jiang Baimian saw the profile of "Garibaldi".

The intelligence officer was less than 1.7 meters five, wearing a very old black thin overcoat, and a peaked cap with the brim pushed down very low.

While walking, his left hand kept pressing the hat, blocking his face.

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao didn't look at it too much, they looked away, sat upright, and continued to drink coffee.

After waiting for almost 10 minutes, they slowly got up, left the cafe, and boarded the jeep parked nearby.

Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Gnawa waited for a while until they confirmed that there were no other monitors around, then left one after another and returned to the gray off-road.

……

Ugo Hotel, Room 202.

Jiang Baimian took part of the documents, flipped through them and said:

"Marcus likes to watch gladiators..."

At first, there was a popular entertainment program in the city, that is to select strong people from captives and slaves, let them fight each other, and decide the final winner.

The victor was freed to become a member of the Senate Guard or a nobleman's private army.

"Avia likes taking baths so much that she has turned half of her home into a bathroom." Long Yuehong also shared what she saw.

This refers to 14 Round Hill Street in the Golden Apple District.

"It's really enviable." Jiang Baimian stood up with a smile and walked to the bathroom.

As she approached there, she felt that the light had become a little dimmer, and the wooden door that had been hidden had been closed tightly at some point.

Then, she heard Hehe's voice coming from inside.

It's like a wild animal panting, screaming, and growling, which makes people's hair stand on end.

Jiang Baimian looked around suddenly, and saw that the room was pitch black.

After a moment, she opened her eyes and found herself lying on the bed.

The moonlight outside the window shines through the curtain, casting a faint glow.

Just now, it was just a dream.

A dream that mixed the scene of the "Old Tune Group" discussing the materials at night with the encounter between the two of them in the afternoon.

Jiang Baimian felt something, turned his head suspiciously, and saw that Shang Jianyao had sat up, thinking about something in the dark.

"Are you awake too?" Shang Jianyao asked.

Jiang Baimian gave a "hmm" and recalled:

"I dreamed about what happened in the afternoon, that is, when I heard a strange noise in the boss's room, I woke up in fright."

Shang Jianyao looked at her and said calmly:

"Me too."

Chapter 33 开价

Jiang Baimian's expression gradually became serious.

She didn't say "Is this too coincidental", but directly judged:

There is a problem with this!

It is completely understandable for two people to have similar dreams due to the same experience, but having them at the same time and waking up at the same time is so coincidental that it is hard to believe that there is no external interference.

After pondering for a few seconds, Jiang Baimian looked at the door and said after deliberation:

"What did the boss do?

"He is an awakener in the dream realm, and wants to confirm what we found this afternoon?

"Hmm... If he is really an awakener, then our disguise at that time really wouldn't have any effect. He could clearly sense that we were approaching the door and returned to the hall..."

Shang Jianyao nodded first, and then said with some puzzlement:

"He can ask us directly, and I won't lie to him."

I'd be lying if I said it... Jiang Baimian didn't refute Shang Jianyao, but just slandered him.

She thought about it, covered her mouth and yawned:

"The boss should have believed it by now, we just heard a little bit of a strange noise and couldn't figure out what the problem was.

"Go to sleep and pretend nothing happened."

This is the "custom" of the Ugo Hotel: if you ask nothing, I will ask nothing.

Shang Jianyao looked at the door, and said eagerly:

"I was wondering, does the boss know Odick?"

"Awakened people who are in the same dream domain do not necessarily believe in the same age, even if they believe in the same age, they may not necessarily be in the same sect. However, several sects who believe in the same age have different understandings of scriptures and books. There are not a few dogs with brains." Jiang Baimian replied a few words, and lay down again, brewing sleepiness.

Shang Jianyao thought for a moment, sighed, pulled up the quilt, and wrapped himself up.

Nothing happened that night, no strange dreams.

The next morning, after having a bread-based breakfast, Jiang Baimian briefly shared what happened last night with Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and Gnawa, and mentioned his own guesses.

Maybe it's because there are quite a few awakened people, and even a strong man like DiMarco with strange and terrifying abilities. Long Yuehong was not too surprised or scared, but just said with emotion:

"As expected of Primordial City, any hotel owner may be an awakened one."
