Embers Ad Infinitum

"Mastermind"...Jiang Baimian knows this aspect specifically and knows what it means.

"Master brain" means the brain of the city, the brain in the true sense.

This is an important goal of the old world on the road to smart cities.

攫欝攫. The "Urban Wisdom Network Control Center" they saw at the Marsh No. 1 Relic was its prototype.

In the full version of the smart city, the main brain controls all pipeline networks, unmanned vehicles, and non-privately-owned smart robots. Through complex algorithms, the corresponding resources are allocated, and the correct route is planned to eradicate all the stubborn diseases that the city has in the past.

At this time, from the corner of Jiang Baimian's eye, he saw Shang Jianyao raising his right arm and rubbing the corner of his mouth.

"..." She was speechless for a while.

After several seconds, she said with emotion:

"Unexpectedly, before the destruction of the old world, the'master brain' was already in operation."

In this way, the "mastermind" who has experienced the destruction of the old world is likely to record some very critical situations.

Based on this, Jiang Baimian fully understood why Lei Yunsong, Lin Feifei and their "old tune group" visited Xu Liyan, the lord of Yecao City.

"It's not important, right? The old world has been destroyed." Xu Liyan couldn't understand Jiang Baimian's feelings.

He went on to say:

"I told them at the time that I didn't know. We and'Machinery Heaven' are only purely cooperative. They provide a variety of electronic equipment and robots for different purposes. We sell petroleum products, high-performance batteries and all kinds of nuclear power plants. Resources."

These latter ones are not what Weed City can produce, but they are qualified middlemen.

"Then when you are dealing with the people in'Machine Paradise', did you find any details worth paying attention to?" Jiang Baimian asked after a provocation of professional habit.

"They are very business-oriented and never accept bribes, because they are all intelligent robots." Xu Liyan shook his head and smiled, "If you are really interested and helped me solve this problem, then they will come to Yecao City to do it again. When trading, I can introduce you to each other. After that, if you want to know anything, just go to the master."

Jiang Baimian thought for a few seconds, then asked seriously:

"City Lord Xu, does anyone want to assassinate you?"

Xu Liyan moved his eyebrows and was a little surprised for a while:

"Odick told you?"

厺厽厺厽. "I haven't said it." Odick denied.

"Then how did you know?" Xu Liyan asked in confusion looking at Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao.

"Guess." Jiang Baimian laughed, "Guessed from what the ‘priest’ of ‘anti-intellectualism’ had done. He was wanted in the city because he assassinated an elder of the Senate."

Xu Liyan was startled for a moment, and sighed:

"To be honest, when I saw the two of you just now, I was a bit disdainful in my heart, and felt that it was a beautiful and incapable vase.

"I know there is no reason for such an idea, but I still can't help thinking like this.

"Now, I won't underestimate you."

When he finished speaking, Shang Jianyao analyzed it seriously:

"A superior person like you must be very swollen inside. When you see someone who surpasses you in a certain way, you will involuntarily degrade the other person. The beautiful one has no head, and the strong one is a barbarian, so as to maintain a sense of psychological superiority. ..."

Xu Liyan raised his hands and folded them in front of him:

"It makes sense.

"You are good at psychoanalysis."

"I often deal with psychologists." Shang Jianyao answered confidently.

If being treated is also called dealing with...Fortunately, I haven't been kicked out directly... Jiang Baimian sneered and decided to get the topic back on track:

"City Lord Xu, what you meant just now, I guessed it right?"

巘戅戅. "Yes." Xu Liyan didn't conceal it. "About two months ago, I received a message that someone was going to assassinate me. During the period after my father's death, such things often happened, and I got used to it, and stepped up step by step. Set up guards and dispatch a large number of intelligence agents, hoping to find out who is behind the scenes as soon as possible, and strive to eliminate hidden dangers."

Having said that, he looked at Odick:

"Mr. Odick is a helper I specially invited through the guild. He is very good at investigating and inquiring. He has nicknames such as'tracker' and'polygraph.'

"Who knows, the day after he arrived, Liu Dazhuang, my most important intelligence agent in the city, was shot and killed in the street.

"I believe he must have been silenced because he found important clues."

Jiang Baimian finished listening quietly, and explained everything he could reveal here.

This included them accepting a commission to investigate the disappearance of Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei, and finally found that they were still alive, but they seemed to be under control, and it was suspected to be related to the "priest" who "anti-intellectualism".

She finally said:

"We have now found the victim who has seen the'priest', and she will come to post the mission soon."

"Not bad." Xu Liyan praised and said to Odick, "I hope I can track the target as soon as possible."

Regardless of whether the "priest" is the real mastermind behind the scenes, he absolutely plays an important role in this matter.

"I'll get information right away." Odick stood up.

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao followed suit and left the president's office.

"I'll go to see the victim first." Odick said, and without waiting for a response, he walked quickly to the stairs.

Jiang Baimian knew that there was nothing to do with his own follow-up, and walked slowly behind, waiting for a large number of relic hunters to take the initiative to "serve".

Away from the president’s office and approaching the top of the stairs, she pressed her voice slightly:

"When you came up just now, did you understand my inquiry?"

She was referring to the subconscious questioning with eyes and performance.

At that time, Shang Jianyao nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

Thinking back now, Jiang Baimian doubted whether this guy understood what he meant.

Frankly speaking, as herself, she couldn't interpret the specific content from such a simple confrontation.

Shang Jian Yao answered without hesitation:

"Understood.

"At that time, we were walking on the road and no one came across. When you suddenly looked at me, it must be related to what was sensed.

"And in the room where Xu Liyan is, there are a large number of people.

"This reminds me of the last time we were sitting underneath, with many people passing by above our heads. One of them had both human consciousness and robot electrical signals.

攫欝攫. "If all you sense are human electrical signals, you will definitely not look at me for confirmation.

"So, the answer is very simple, you are asking me if I am all human consciousness."

Jiang Baimian was stunned for a few seconds, then opened his mouth and said:

"Complex ideas, but I guessed it right..."

She had to admit that in some respects, Shang Jianyao's mind was not stupid at all, and could even be said to be very smart, but he always made things very simple or very complicated.

Entering the stairs, Jiang Baimian glanced down and whispered:

"The person in the robe next to Xu Liyan should be an'immortal'."

Whether it is a mechanical monk is yet to be determined.

"I don't know if he knows Zen Master Jingfa." Shang Jianyao said suddenly.

"You really don't forget the Zen Master Jingfa." Jiang Baimian teased funny.

Shang Jian Yao answered seriously:

"Master Jing Fa is chasing Qiao Chu. Qiao Chu took away our exoskeleton device and ate us a lot of cans, compressed biscuits and energy bars..."

厺厽 apex 厺厽. "I understand." Jiang Baimian nodded his head solemnly.

While they were talking, they finished the stairs and returned to the hall.

At this time, the blond and blue-eyed vice president Christina just came in through the side door with four black bodyguards.

The apex xInDInm. After seeing Shang Jian Yao, her eyes lit up, and she walked a few steps quickly, smiling and saying:

"I am in Room 308 on the 3rd floor today. You can come to me anytime."

After speaking, she glanced at Jiang Baimian, her eyes slowly swept across her face.

Christina's smile became more obvious, and she said to Shang:

"This is your companion?"

Before Shang Jian Yao responded, she turned to Jiang Baimian:

"You can come to me with him."

Jiang Baimian gave a perfunctory "um".

When the two sides passed by, she took a step sideways with preparation, avoiding Kristina's concealed hand patted her hip.

After watching the vice chairman and her bodyguard enter the stairs, Jiang Baimian gave a "tsk":

"Her hobbies are really wide."

"Maybe she just wanted to join people to play cards." Shang Jian Yao said thoughtfully.

"You are not a human being the bodyguard around her?" Jiang Baimian scolded with a smile.

Shang Jianyao replied seriously:

"The bodyguard must do his job well."

They talked and walked to the edge of the hall, found a chair and sat down, waiting for new clues to appear.

It didn't take long for the task to be updated, and he began to look for the sick man in the trench coat.

The sketch portrait is vivid, not much worse than the photo.

Shang Jian Yao and Jiang Baimian did not move, because there would be a large number of relic hunters instead of them.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, new information appeared:

Someone has seen the sick man in a trench coat several times near warehouses No. 1 to No. 3 of East Street.

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao immediately got up, took the task, and walked to the door.

When approaching the street, Shang Jianyao stopped suddenly and shouted to a person passing by:

"Wait a minute!"

The man stopped and looked to this side with a little doubt.

He is a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old man. He is of gray earth and about the same height as Jiang Baimian. He is wearing black clothes and short hair. He looks good, except that the dark circles under his eyes are a bit heavy. He looks very different. exhausted.

Shang Jianyao walked up to this person in Jiang Baimian's slightly surprised gaze, and asked:

"Did you not sleep well last night?"

The man raised his eyebrows:

"My sleep quality hasn't been very good lately, but what does it have to do with you?"

Shang Jian Yao said sincerely:

"If you don't sleep well, your state will be very bad, and it's easy to have accidents when completing tasks.

"You better rest more."

After speaking, he turned around and walked back to Jiang Baimian's side, leaving the person in a daze.

Jiang Baimian raised his right hand, pointed at his head, and asked with his movements if his brain twitched again.

Shang Jian Yao nodded slightly, indicating that it was so.
