Upon hearing this, Jiang Baimian laughed out of his voice:

"You are very confident."

She then added another sentence:

"This is also a good thing. At least when we encounter difficulties, become depressed, and have no fighting spirit, you can still be confident and infect the whole team.

"This is called idealistic optimism.

"Uh, did you say this before?"

Shang Jianyao nodded:

"I don't mind if you quote."

Jiang Baimian gave him a white look and walked out of the stairs.

She looked around and said thoughtfully:

"There may be some'anti-intellectualism' believers in this courtyard. Those who warned Zeng Guangwang might also be hiding nearby."

Lin Feifei, who was "controlled", lived here, and Zeng Guangwang, who was warned and nearly hanged himself, also lived here. If it was not a pure coincidence, it means that there are many "anti-intellectual" eye lines in this area.

Before Shang Jianyao gave his "suggestion", Jiang Baimian sighed:

"It's a pity that there is no photo, otherwise you can ask the guard.

"Doing house-to-house investigations are too labor intensive, and it is not something we can complete, and it is also easy to get started and cause accidents."

Shang Jian Yao's eyes lit up and said quickly:

"I can draw the person who warned Zeng Guangwang and follow his description."

"That's fine." Jiang Baimian thought of the paintings that Shang Jianyao had painted, and directly denied his self-recommendation.

She thought for a while and said:

"Go to the Hunter's Guild and find Odick. He may have a way to extract the image of that person from Zeng Guangwang's dream."

"Hope." Shang Jian Yao looked regretful.

The two went out of the gate at Huangjiao Lane, turned to South Street, and walked towards the central square.

Just as they were about to turn to West Street, a loud noise suddenly came from the front side.

Boom!

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao each made a conditioned reflex. One rolled over and curled up behind the sidewalk chair, and the other crawled on the spot, pretending to be a corpse.

This is not to say that this can block the bullet, but to avoid the sight of the attacker who may exist in the future.

After the explosion, the central square became noisy, screaming, shouting, and rushing footsteps were endless.

Seeing that there was no fierce fighting, Jiang Baimian left the hiding place and looked at the place where the explosion occurred.

That is the Yecao City Public Library.

The glass windows of this building were all shattered, and black smoke and red flames emerged from it.

A fire brigade not far away rushed over and used various methods to extinguish the fire.

Several blood-stained people were carried out one after another, some were still groaning, and some were silent.

Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao, who was standing up, and a noun came to mind:

"Anti-intellectualism"!

She retracted her sight from the library where the damage was not too serious, and habitually observed the surrounding situation.

Suddenly, her gaze stopped in one place.

At the junction of East Street and Central Plaza, a group of people who saw the "alarm" had been lifted were watching.

On the edge of this group, there is a man in a black trench coat.

He put his hands in his pockets, almost as tall as Jiang Baimian, with slightly messy short hair. He looked very thin and his face was abnormally pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness or had not yet healed.

As if feeling Jiang Baimian's gaze, he turned his head and looked back.

His eyes are almost pure black, like an abyss that can bury human souls.

The corner of the man's mouth was slightly tilted, revealing an unspeakable smile.

Then, he squeezed into the crowd and disappeared into Jiang Baimian's sight.

"Did you see it?" Jiang Baimian was silent for a few seconds before turning to ask Shang Jian Yao.

"I saw it." Shang Jianyao's arms had already assumed a running position at some point, but his legs had not moved away.

Jiang Baimian suddenly smiled and said:

"I thought you would rush over and beat him up."

Shang Jianyao glanced at Jiang Baimian strangely, and answered calmly:

"Can't catch up."

"Also, at least in this way, it has not been revealed that you know he is a dangerous person." Jiang Baimian glanced at the library where the fire was under control, and sighed slowly, "I hope that the books inside are not lost."

This is the hope of many children in Yecao City.

Just teaching literacy, the "temporary teacher" is sufficient, but if you want to learn more, you can't do without books.

Jiang Baimian didn't say much, took Shang Jian Yao, walked into West Street, and entered the Hunter's Guild.

She was thinking about how to leave a message for Odick if she couldn't find Odick in the hall, and found this "senior hunter" sitting in the marginal area where she and Shang Jian Yao usually like to stay, and she didn't know who was waiting.

"We have new clues." Jiang Baimian walked over and said with a smile.

"Me too." Odick, who was wearing a thick woolen coat, stood up.

"Are you waiting for us?" Jiang Baimian suddenly realized.

"You should wait at the door, so we can see it at a glance." Shang Jianyao enthusiastically came up with an idea.

Odick ignored him and said directly:

"I have already asked which senior in the local guild has seen Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei."

Ask it out? I am afraid it was found out by the ability of dreams... Jiang Baimian asked quietly on the surface:

"Who?"

"Cui En, Vice President Cui En in charge of hunter affairs." Odick pointed to the stairs leading to the second floor, "I will take you to meet him."

Jiang Baimian was not in a hurry to mention the man in the windbreaker, and winked at Shang Jianyao to prepare him.

Then, they went to the second floor together, and in a small room with only a long table and a few chairs, they met Cui En, the vice president of the local Hunter Guild.

He is tall and thin, with a big nose, and his hair is sparse but still jet black.

Shang Jianyao looked at it carefully for a while, then suddenly asked:

"Have you dyed your hair?"

Cui En opened his mouth, forgetting the language that was originally organized.

After a few seconds, he proudly stroked his hair:

"No."

"So..." Shang Jianyao seemed a little regretful.

Jiang Baimian deeply suspected that he was regretting that he had not been able to recruit his life and death brother Fei Lin, the head of the "Rootless" business group.

Odick did not waste time and broke the strange silence:

"I just communicated with Chairman Cui. He met Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei almost a month and a half ago."

Cui En trusted Odick quite a bit, and there was no bodyguard by his side. He pointed to the chair opposite the long table and said:

"sit down."

When Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao quickly sat down, Cui En sighed and said:

"I didn't want to mention this matter at first. It has no value and will only cause unnecessary trouble and involvement. As a result, Odick somehow found out."

"About a month and a half ago." The vice president recalled, "It was one morning. My assistant told me that someone wanted to visit me and talk about a big task. I was fine at the time, and my assistant said that they looked like A little background, so I agreed.

"Then, I met Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei you mentioned in the office.

"They actually don't have a big task to talk about. The purpose is to understand the ‘machine heaven’."

"'Machinery Heaven'?" Jiang Baimian was a little surprised.

This is a powerful force that fully masters the production technology of intelligent robots and many factories. It is located at the southern end of the Jiushan Mountains.

It is relatively mysterious, and transactions with the outside world are mainly responsible for the robot army, and no other forces have entered their actual control area.

——“Pangu Biology” is at the northwest end of the Jiushan Mountains

"Yes." Cui En replied with some doubts, "I don't know why they want to learn about'Mechanical Paradise'. For this, they are willing to pay a lot of money. Unfortunately, I have no contact with'Mechanical Paradise', don't look at it. The products in the hall are all products of “Machine Paradise”, but the president and the local president are responsible for the corresponding affairs. Therefore, I can only ask them to try to find relationships to go to North Street and visit the president."

The president of the local hunter guild is the city lord Xu Liyan.

"No wonder..." Jiang Baimian solved a doubt in his heart--why Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei entered North Street.

They are going to the city lord's mansion to see Xu Liyan, the city lord and hunter guild president.

Cui En picked up the white porcelain tea cup in front of him and took a sip:

"I haven't seen them since, but I can be sure that they left North Street later.

"Because I am worried that this matter will cause unnecessary trouble to the president, I have told my assistant and related clerks not to leak this news, and I don't know how Odick found it out."

Obviously, Cui En was worried about Odick's sudden grasp of this secret.

At this time, Odick nodded lightly, suggesting that Jiang Baimian and Cui En did not lie.

Jiang Baimian looked at Cui En and said with a smile:

"We probably understand.

"Too much trouble for you, Chairman Choi."

"It's okay, if I can investigate the death of Liu Dazhuang, I will even express my gratitude." Cui En got up and sent Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others out of the room.

When he got outside and walked to the stairs, Jiang Baimian smiled and looked ahead and said:

"Exchange information again?"

"Yes." Odick did not refuse.

Jiang Baimian said with an "um":

"We found a ‘temporary teacher’ who was threatened by ‘anti-intellectual education’."

She ignored the causes and consequences, described Zeng Guangwang's address and experience again, and emphasized that after the library explosion, there was a man in a windbreaker who looked close to the crowd.

"This style..." Odick's face gradually became solemn, "Much like the "Priest" who was active in the "First City" before."

Shang Jian Yao's expression suddenly became excited.

Jiang Baimian glared at him, told him to restrain himself, and then said to Odick:

"It's your turn. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"

Odick looked at the stairs in front of him and said in silence:

"I didn't come to Yecao City by accident, I was invited here.

"I tracked down Liu Dazhuang's death, not because he happened to meet him, nor because he was an intelligence dealer."

Having said that, Odick stepped into the stairs and left a sentence:

"He is serving the city lord secretly."

Hearing these words, Jiang Baimian felt all the clues intertwined in his mind, and it seemed that he was not far from sketching out the answer.
