Embers Ad Infinitum

Looking at the "senior hunter" in front of him, Jiang Baimian raised his hand and touched his ear:

"Huh? What did you say?"

The "senior hunter" originally prepared the rhetoric, but was blocked at once.

At this time, Shang Jian Yao turned his side to help "translate":

"He asked what we found in that woman's room?"

Jiang Baimian made a sudden realization, and said with a big smile:

"The clues we found have been submitted to the guild.

"After they have reviewed it and announced it, you will know what they are."

The "senior hunter" with black hair and blue eyes took a deep look at them, no longer asked, turned around, and prepared to leave.

"It's rude." At this moment, Shang Jianyao suddenly said something.

"Why is it impolite?" Jiang Baimian asked quite cooperatively.

"Isn't it common sense to introduce yourself before asking questions?" Shang Jianyao replied seriously.

He didn't seem to have any fear of being dragged out by the opponent for a fight.

The "senior hunter" paused, did not turn around, and said dullly:

"Odick."

"His dusty language is quite good." Shang Jianyao is already talking about other things with Jiang Baimian.

Jiang Baimian said with an "um":

"He looks like a mixed-race, maybe the gray language is his mother tongue."

Odick turned his back to them, was silent for a few seconds, and finally walked away.

When the "senior hunter" was far away from the seating area at the edge of the hall, Jiang Baimian chuckled softly:

"It's quite understandable, it's a good mockery.

"Haha, you didn't introduce yourself when you asked people."

Shang Jianyao replied solemnly:

"Brothers don't need to introduce themselves."

"..." Jiang Baimian could not refute.

She pretended that she had not communicated with Shang Jianyao on this matter, and moved her legs boredly, waiting for the review results to come out.

Suddenly, she lifted her head and looked at the ceiling of the hall.

After a few seconds, she said with some confusion:

"A group of people passed by...

"There is one. The electrical signal pattern is not the same as that of humans, and it doesn't even come from animals...robots?"

Shang Jian Yao also looked up at the ceiling and said:

"It's all human consciousness."

Jiang Baimian turned his head to the side and looked at Shang Jianyao:

"All humans?"

"I can make them hypocritical at this distance." Shang Jian Yao answered the question.

Jiang Baimian easily understood what he meant and frowned slightly and said:

"Human consciousness...non-human electrical signals..."

After these two descriptions are combined, the answer seems to be only one:

"Eternal Life"!

Or, the mechanical monks of the Order of Monks!

"Could it be an old friend?" Jiang Baimian asked and replied, "No, Jing Fa has gone crazy in this environment."

There are a large number of women in the clerks of the Hunter Guild.

"You can go up and ask." Shang Jianyao made a suggestion.

Jiang Baimian glanced at him, disdain to answer at all.

She gave a "um", thinking:

"It doesn't have to be a mechanical monk.

"Not all of the'immortal people' at the time had converted to the sect. There are some exceptions..."

At this time, the group of people upstairs had already escaped their sensing range.

Because of lack of sufficient information, Jiang Baimian did not discuss this matter.

She observed the comings and goings of the hunters of the relics, trying to sum up some customs.

After another ten minutes, the loudspeakers everywhere in the hall came out:

"The hunters who have submitted new clues about Liu Dazhuang's mission, please come to Taiwan Su Xiaoman on the 11th to get paid."

Jiang Baimian stood up, took out his hunter badge, and walked quickly to the round platform area.

"How much money is there?" She asked Su Xiaoman with a smile.

Su Xiaoman smiled and replied:

"100 Ore.

"Then, both of your team members can earn 100 credits.

"Congratulations, you are already an'official hunter'!"

Jiang Baimian did not hide his smile:

"not bad."

For the four of them, just eating a day would cost about 4 ore, plus the rent, consuming nearly 5 ore a day, 100 ore can make them last for another three weeks.

After giving the hunter badge to Su Xiaoman, after she swiped it, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao became "official hunters".

Then, they took the list issued by Su Xiaoman and their hunter badge, went to the financial window in the inner area on the first floor, and received a thick stack of banknotes.

——Ole is dark green with a maximum denomination of 10, but there are also denominations of 5 and 1.

Returning to the mission area, Jiang Baimian found that the clues he had submitted had been published, and even the names of Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei were added.

Jiang Baimian was about to sigh to Shang Jianyao when he suddenly saw the "senior hunter" approaching again.

Odick, wearing a deep black thick woolen coat, stopped in front of them and asked:

"You didn't find anything in that woman's room?"

Jiang Baimian didn't pretend not to hear it this time, because the other party's voice was quite loud.

She smiled and said:

"To obtain valuable clues requires corresponding rewards. Isn't this the common sense of relic hunters?"

Without waiting for Odick's response, she added with a smile:

"I have now received the reward of 100 Ore, and then I will only receive the equivalent clue as payment."

Odick fell silent and did not speak.

"It seems that you haven't thought about it yet, and come to us when you think about it." Jiang Baimian smiled and greeted him, while crossing the other side.

Shang Jian Yao followed her and left the Hunter's Guild with her.

When he arrived on the street, Jiang Baimian glanced back and said thoughtfully:

"Before the announcement of the new clues, this ‘senior hunter’ knew about Lin Feifei’s existence, and also confirmed that we went to Lin Feifei’s room...

"He made a good relationship with the senior leaders of the local Hunter Guild, and knew in advance the clues we submitted?

"No, if this is the case, he should have known it a long time ago. We only mentioned the gunman's companion and did not talk about the follow-up search...

"It seems that he knows something? Or, he has found other traces, and is very soon sure that the gunman has a female companion?"

When talking to himself here, Jiang Baimian turned his head to look at Shang Jianyao and found that he was looking at him exactly.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Baimian felt that he shouldn't ask as soon as he spoke.

Shang Jian Yao sighed:

"You just said everything I wanted to say."

"Next time I'll give you a chance to speak." Jiang Baimian said perfunctorily, and then smiled, "You didn't even ask me why I didn't report the flyer in Lin Feifei's room to the guild."

Shang Jianyao glanced at Jiang Baimian strangely:

"I'm not Long Yuehong."

"...Didn't you say that you don't speak bad things about your friends behind your back?" Jiang Baimian was taken aback for a moment, and then he asked with a smile while walking towards the central square.

Shang Jian Yao answered seriously:

"I'm just describing his usual performance truthfully."

"Hey, I did genetic modification only 175..." After listening, Jiang Baimian added a sentence very cooperatively.

Halfway through, she laughed uncontrollably.

Soon, they returned to South Street and found Bai Chen and Long Yuehong.

After looking at each other, Jiang Baimian took them around to the alley opposite the slave market and met in a secluded corner.

She took out the stack of paper money and showed it:

"100 Ore!"

"I'm rich." Long Yuehong was happy from the heart.

"Also, Shang Jianyao and I both got 100 credits and became an'official hunter'." Jiang Baimian added with a smile.

Long Yuehong said with a sense of disappointment:

"Only I am a novice."

"The next clue is for you and Bai Chen to hand in." Jiang Baimian smiled and comforted.

Then, she described what information she had submitted.

At the end, Long Yuehong was quite puzzled:

"Team leader, why don't you report the facts about that leaflet? In this way, relic hunters can be mobilized to find the organization as soon as possible."

"Sure enough..." Shang Jianyao suddenly said inexplicable words.

Jiang Baimian suppressed a smile, looked at Long Yuehong who was a little confused, took a silent breath, and vomited it out again.

Then she explained:

"I'm not sure if Lin Feifei left the leaflet on purpose.

"The intention is also divided into two situations, one is to mislead the investigator behind, and the other is to give clues and save oneself.

"If it is the latter possibility, the news will be dangerous to Lin Feifei after it spreads widely."

"That's it..." Long Yuehong once again sighed in her heart that the team leader was careful in thinking.

Jiang Baimian continued:

"When the company returns the telegram, we have grasped the specific situation of that organization, and combined with the actual situation, we will consider whether to submit this clue."

"Hmm." Long Yue Hongxin was convinced.

Jiang Baimian glanced at Bai Chen, thought for a moment:

"Have you just discovered anything?

"In the guild, we met a ‘senior hunter’. He directly asked us what we found in Lin Feifei’s room..."

When sharing this incident, Jiang Baimian described Odick's general appearance, and wanted Long Yuehong and Bai Chen to pay attention to this person in the follow-up.

Long Yuehong was more surprised as she listened:

"I saw him!

"He buys clothes in the'Old Clothes Shop' in Hongluo Lane."

Shang Jian Yao immediately asked:

"What anomaly was there?"

"Nothing unusual..." Long Yuehong recalled, UU reading www.uukanshu.com "It was the owner of that store who was dozing off, and then he was woken up."

"Doze off when there are guests?" Jiang Baimian repeated this detail in a questioning tone.

"I also think it's a bit strange, but we can't know whether the boss slept well last night." Long Yuehong said his thoughts, "Furthermore, that person did nothing at the time and even called the boss up. I paid for the clothes."

After listening carefully, Jiang Baimian laughed and turned his head to Shang Jian Yao and said:

"You can ask the boss later.

"If she slept well last night, but suddenly became sleepy and couldn't control herself, then things would be interesting."

Having said this, Jiang Baimian looked around and said with a smile:

"I suspect that the'advanced hunter' named Odick is an awakened one, with abilities similar to sleeping cats and nightmare horses."</div>
