long night fire

"Okay." Shang Jianyao agreed without hesitation.

In the evening, Gittes, with her honey-colored hair casually tied, entered the "Fire and Iron" Hotel and completed the handover with her colleagues.

The "Old Tune Team" didn't look for her right away, and went out slowly to fill their stomachs, and only walked to the front desk when it was late at night and there was no one in the lobby.

Gittes restrained her dazed expression:

"Is there a problem?"

Jiang Baimian smiled and said:

"I want to get some more news from you."

"You still owe me two big knight gold coins." Gittes reminded.

At this time, she was not distracted at all.

Shang Jianyao responded immediately:

"Isn't it within three days? It's only been one day.

"Also, we have worked together twice, and we have shown a trustworthy side to each other. In a sense, we are all equivalent to friends..."

As long as Shang Jianyao is given a chance to speak, as long as there is indeed something to communicate, he can complete the "thinking implantation" without any trace, making it hard to guard against.

Gittes didn't seem to expect that the "Old Tune Group" would suddenly attack her, her eyes were in a daze and she said:

"really.

"What news do you want to inquire about this time?"

Jiang Baimian tried her best to make her smile friendly and gentle:

"We want to know if the Bodhi statue is with you."

Gittes's pupils dilated suddenly, and the whole person seemed to be poured with a basin of ice water, and she was about to get rid of the influence of "mind implantation".

At this time, Shang Jianyao, who had been prepared for a long time, shouted:

"We have no malicious intentions!"

Combined with the previous "mind implantation" effect, Gittes's body relaxes.

She blurted out:

"How did you know that?"

Jiang Baimian didn't answer immediately, but comforted the other party with a smile:

"Don't be nervous, we really want to hurt you with this matter, now those relic hunters are looking for you."

Without giving Gittes a chance to speak, Jiang Baimian said to himself:

"Our team has quite a lot of experience. We have seen the abilities in the field of 'Bodhi' such as 'Sky Eye', 'Fate', 'He Xintong' and so on, and we know what the Bodhi statue might involve.

"When you show your abilities without any scruples in front of us and give us information, you should know that we will suspect you sooner or later.

"And now, our suspicions have been confirmed."

A look of sudden realization gradually appeared on Gittes's face.

Jiang Baimian asked curiously:

"Do you think it is impossible for us to understand the power brought by the Bodhi statue and make corresponding associations, or is there some reason that forces you to do this?"

This is her biggest puzzle.

Gittes acted as if she didn't know much about the Awakened.

This time, Gittes didn't lose her mind, and said silently for a few seconds:

"On the one hand, I really look down on you a little bit, and on the other hand, I have to hurry up and make money."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Shang Jianyao asked curiously.

Gittes's eyes lost focus a little, and it took a few seconds before she replied:

"In the past six months, I have begun to feel that the power of the statue is weakening. Maybe in another year or two, or even shorter, it will lose all its magic."

"Normal." Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao said in unison.

It is not normal to be able to use it frequently for nearly three years!

Gittes continued:

"Before the statue loses all its power, I have to save enough money for my parents' medical treatment, enough money for me to buy the latest genetic medicine, and deal with the follow-up of some things..."

That's why I was a little anxious to exchange my ability for money... Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and said:

"You often lose your mind, and your liking to be in a daze is the negative impact of the statue?"

"No, it's because I'm still controlling several people at the same time, so they don't behave abnormally in their daily life, and I also use 'Sky Eye' to collect real-time information on different places in Fort Gerst from time to time." Gittes" I feel" that the "Old Tune Group" is really not malicious, and the answer is fairly detailed.

"Synchronous control..." Experienced Shang Jianyao asked excitedly, "'Shen Jing Tong' plus 'Fate Tong'?"

"Shenjingtong" can divide one's consciousness into multiples without causing the independence of a single consciousness. "Fatetong" can see the past of all living beings, and can forcibly occupy a human body with its own consciousness, which is like seizing a house or parasitizing .

The combination of the two means that multiple humans can be controlled at the same time.

That was the case with DiMarco.

Gittes froze for a moment, then smiled bitterly:

"You really know these abilities very well."

Jiang Baimian did not continue this topic for the time being, but instead asked:

"How did you get that bodhi statue?"

Gittes looked confused for a few seconds and said:

"The monk has been in poor health since he came to Gerstburg.

"Once, he came to my house for alms, and I felt sorry for him, so I gave him some leftover food, asked him where he usually stayed, and occasionally sent him some food and clothes, but my family's situation itself Not very good, and the number of times this is actually done is very small.

"What I didn't expect was that one night he came to my house to find me, thanked me for my care, and gave me the statue. I didn't know that the statue was so magical at the time, so I thought it was nothing, so I took it away.

"As soon as I took the statue, I immediately fell into a strange state, knowing what kind of power it contained, but the monk disappeared, and the next day, he was found dead in the factory area……"

While speaking, Gittes bent down and lifted the rucksack at her feet.

This is the one she carries every day.

Then, Gittes took out a wooden statue from her backpack.

It was brown in color, about fifty centimeters tall, with a benevolent brow and a distressed face, exactly the same as the description of the Hunter's Guild mission.

Jiang Baimian asked in a little astonishment:

"You can use the power of the statue without touching it directly?"

The statue is actually placed in the backpack!

Jiang Baimian thought it was hidden in the cabinet at the front desk, which is convenient for Kittys to use——when necessary, she opened the cabinet slightly to touch the surface.

"Yes, after touching it with my hand at first, as long as it is within a certain range, I can borrow its ability and be affected by it." Gittes did not specify how big this range is.

Shang Jian Yao sincerely praised:

"magic!"

Chapter 83 Another Identity

Listening to the conversation between Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and Jittes, Long Yuehong had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

Gittes's experience is really like a re-enactment of some protagonists in old world entertainment materials:

Because of kindness and kindness, he received a dying gift from a seemingly insignificant person, and since then he has transcended the ordinary and has his own path.

Glancing at the Bodhi statue, Jiang Baimian put away his astonishment and said:

"Put it back, it won't be good if someone sees it accidentally."

Gittes took a deep look at them, and became more and more convinced that the "Old Tune Group" did not have any malicious intentions.

After she put the Bodhi statue back into her backpack and placed it by her feet, Shang Jianyao asked:

"and then?"

"What then?" Gittes wondered if she missed part of the conversation because she was distracted by manipulating other bodies.

But at this late night, her other body has basically gone to bed, and she no longer needs her "maintenance".

Shang Jian Yao had an expression of "the story is not over yet":

"What happened after the monk died."

Gittes brushed her honey-colored hair and recalled:

"At that time, both my parents were sick and could no longer work. Although the family had some savings, it would not last long, and they had to take medicine all the time.

"I know that I can no longer rely on my family's savings to buy old gene-improving potions to improve myself, but without improved genes, it is difficult for me as a woman to join the army, relying on contributions step by step to become a retinue, and even be promoted to a knight.

"During that time, I felt that the sky was much darker, but the miracle of that statue gave me hope."

"The sky in Gerstburg is always gray." Shang Jianyao pointed out.

Jiang Baimian glared at this guy, and asked Gittes:

"Why did you choose to be an intelligence businessman?"

Gittes smiled, but she was no longer distracted to maintain other physical activities, this time without that mysterious feeling:

"It is still too expensive to buy genetic improvement medicine from formal channels. I thought about going to the underground black market, and this requires the support of intelligence.

"Through this incident, I got to know Moore, and found that being an intelligence merchant is still profitable, and it is very suitable for the abilities attached to the statue, and Moore himself said that when he is old, his energy can't keep up, and he will slow down in the future." Slowly enter the retirement state."

"Then why do you have to work part-time at the front desk?" Jiang Baimian didn't quite understand.

Shang Jianyao helped explain:

"Life always needs a normal job, and workers, waiters, and relic hunters are not suitable for Gittes. She is often distracted and unable to focus."

"Yes." Gittes admitted frankly, "Although the salary at the front desk of the hotel is relatively low, most of the time it is free, and, haven't you noticed? This is the center of Fort Gerst, to the southeast and northwest borders of the settlement." The distance is about the same, which is convenient for me to 'monitor'."

"I really didn't pay attention to this." Jiang Baimian nodded lightly.

She suddenly changed the question:

"Which bodies do you still manipulate?"

Gittes smiled:

"Seven or eight, there is one identity you have seen, Esther."

"Esther?" Long Yuehong blurted out in astonishment.

That director of the Mining Federation turned out to be another identity of Gittes?

Jiang Baimian recalled the scene of communicating with Esther, and found that this person was too tired, so he was a little pensive and lacked concentration. There was nothing reminiscent of Gittes.

"The acting skills are good!" Shang Jianyao praised.

"I have used this identity for almost two years. There must have been a lot of problems at the beginning. Now even close people can't find that Esther's soul has changed." Gittes is not proud.

Shang Jianyao suddenly put on a serious face and asked seriously:

"You killed Esther?"

"No." Gittes shook her head, "His body collapsed a few years ago, and he certainly wouldn't be able to live normally, but I took a fancy to his identity, status, resources and dying state, so I deliberately looked for opportunities I met him who was dying, and asked him if he wanted to make a deal. The content of the deal was that he made a request, and I would help him complete it, and his body was lent to me until it could no longer be maintained.

"He agreed, hoping that I can help him fulfill a wish, which is to go to Koning Meath to retrieve the bones or relics of his mistress and two children.

"I know the danger of Koningmis, so I can only tell him that I will try my best and not guarantee it, but he still agreed to the deal."

Jiang Baimian nodded:

"Since Esther has become your other identity, why are you worrying about money?"

A big businessman who owns many private mines and a certain share of rare metals and spirits channels still lacks the money to buy new genetic improvement medicines?

"It belongs to Esther's family, and I'm just keeping it for Esther, and I can't embezzle it." Gittes replied quite seriously, "If I am willing to violate my creed, then with the help of statues, there are too many changes for me. Life's the cure for my parents."

Creed... You are not a knight... Long Yuehong muttered in her heart.

Clap, clap, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands, and sincerely praised:
