Embers Ad Infinitum

Main text Chapter 63 "Shepherd" Bouyong (I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year)

"Tampering with memory?" Jiang Baimian looked sideways at Shang Jianyao, repeating the key words.

Guo Zheng's hysterical scream made her feel a little shocked.

This is not only because of the performance and voice of the other party, but also because memory is a person's most private and precious thing. If this can also be tampered with, there is no way to distinguish between what is true and what is false.

At that time, maybe you can only take the initiative to join the monastic order, saying "the four are all empty", "dream bubbles" and "all appearances are all vain" every day.

Shang Jian Yao had no fear, and nodded seriously:

"The abilities of the'priest' are all."

"Indeed..." Jiang Baimian recovered and sighed.

Judging from the information currently available, the three awakened abilities of the true "priest" are:

Hypnosis; tampering with memory; the one that creates a common illusion.

Compared with the fake "priest", this does not involve physical manipulation and does not improve fighting ability, but it is more daunting, mysterious and terrifying.

At this time, the fake "priest" Guo Zheng, who had finished shouting, eased down and sat there, gasping for breath.

Shang Jian Yao looked at him on the screen and suddenly smiled:

"Then the question is, since the true'priest' can tamper with other people's memories, why not just let you remember that you are the true'father'? In this way, you don't have to worry about being destroyed by others' hypnotic effect. "

The words that broke the psychological defense line and pierced the false cognition just now will not have any effect.

Guo Zheng remained silent, and said after more than ten seconds:

"It may be because he does not allow false ‘priests’ to become real ‘priests’. Even the real ‘priests’ in my own memory will not work.

"There can only be one true ‘priest’, it can only be him."

When a person remembers himself as a true "priest", no matter what kind of torture he experiences, he is a true "priest".

Just as Jiang Baimian wanted to say that this idea was a bit dangerous and crazy, Shang Jianyao agreed with him and said:

"I accept this reason."

"..." Jiang Baimian rolled his eyes quietly.

She then asked:

"Besides the memories of being ‘tampered’, can you remember other details related to the real ‘priest’? For example, what is the price he paid?"

Guo Zheng shook his head:

"The only certainty is that we should be the same awakened."

For similar questions, Jiang Baimian believes that Odick should have used the influence of dreams to find the answer. Since he did not remind his good brother Shang Jian Yao what to pay attention to, it means that the memory of the false "priest" Guo Zheng has never existed. , Or something went wrong.

She stopped struggling with this matter, and began to ask others:

"How many elders who are'anti-intellectual' do you know?"

Under the Pope, the elders of the "Meeting of Eight".

"I have only contacted one person, the one who presided over our awakening ceremony, and he was the one who gave me the order later." When the topic no longer involves the true "priest", Guo Zheng's state is obviously better, "He is Honghe The man, named Bouillon, is in charge of the first city area, um, not the entire sphere of influence of the first city, but the city and its surrounding areas."

The capital of the "First City" forces, First City is currently recognized as the most prosperous city on the dust, and is also known as the "City of Desire".

"What does he look like and what awakening ability does he have? Looking through other people's memories on a large scale should be just an application of one of these abilities." Jiang Baimian's eyes lit up.

This is a big fish.

Of course, this does not seem to be something that their "old tune group" can deal with. According to Du Heng, this may be the awakened person who has entered the "corridor of mind", whether it is the scope of ability or the influence. The number of targets is exaggerated enough.

"Do you think I can remember him?" Guo Zheng laughed to himself, "His nickname is'Shepherd', and his voice is always a bit uncomfortable, similar to a wound in his throat, and he has never felt healed. "

Jiang Baimian's thoughts turned and he found a possible problem:

"Since'Shepherd' Bouyong is in charge of the original city area, why were you sent to Yecao City solely for the task of assassinating Xu Liyan?" (Note 1)

"Weeds City is an area not covered by sects. Whoever preaches first will be in charge of it." Guo Zheng simply explained, "Anyway, if you want to come over and assassinate Xu Liyan, it's better to pass on the teaching by the way."

Jiang Baimian asked about the pastors of Guo Zheng's subordinates, how many believers he had developed, and where the usual supplies were obtained. Guo Zheng only smiled:

"Odick should have known the corresponding situation through the dream, you can directly find Xu Liyan to report, why should I repeat it?"

"This is the process." It was not Jiang Baimian who spoke, but Shang Jianyao, who dubbed her.

Not bad... Jiang Baimian nodded slightly and praised silently.

After the fake "priest" Guo Zheng finished answering, Shang Jianyao took the opportunity to ask:

"What do you know about the'corridor of the soul'?

"What happened to the Pope's entry into the new world? Where is the new world?"

Guo Zhengshi smiled and said:

"These are all secrets in secrets, don't talk about me, even the true ‘priest’ may not be clear.

"I only have a vague impression: Elder Bouillon has some magical small items, which he said are gifts of ageing.

"Hehe, I'm still facing those inner fears in the'Sea of ​​Origin', and there are still thousands of miles away from the'Spirit Corridor'."

Having said this, Guo Zheng suddenly froze and muttered to himself:

"No wonder...no wonder I have never been able to cross that island... the people who are'hypnotized' can never succeed..."

Jiang Baimian nodded thoughtfully and asked another important point:

"When did you know that Lei Yunsong and the others are "Pangu Creatures"? Where did you know the price Oddick paid? Christina, the vice president of the Hunter Guild?"

"It's not her, it's a'dumb', hehe, maybe it's the information given to me by the true'priest'." Guo Zheng shook his head and said, "I just wanted to find a few'helpers' who have nothing to do with the sect and can be abandoned at any time, who knows The'dumb' directly gave me the information of such a group of people, and then I had a plan to frame the blame and stir up disputes."

The real "priest" is because Lei Yunsong and the others want to visit Xu Liyan, look through the memory, check their background, and "set" a good time so that they can't avoid the fake "priest"? Jiang Baimian made further guesses in his heart.

At the end of the interrogation, Shang Jianyao asked enthusiastically:

"How do you ‘anti-intellectual’ pray and salute?"

This is a relaxed topic, Guo Zheng sighed, rubbed his temples and said:

"Prayer is to shake your head before the meal. It doesn't matter how many times, it means don't think. Saluting is to cover your eyes with your hands from both sides to indicate that you don't see or hear. The blessing is'May you also lose your IQ', which involves old age. At times, he said, "Please believe in God with all your heart," and when preaching, I mainly said "doubt everything, no truth" "Thinking is a trap, knowledge is poison"..."

Shang Jian Yao took out a small notebook at some point and wrote it down:

"The symbol is a person without facial features? What does the Mass look like?"

"Yes, people with no facial features." Guo Zhenghou leaned back in his chair and said, "Our mass is very simple. It is to preach first, listen to the disadvantages of knowledge and thinking, and then shout slogans with the pastor. What to shout and how much The sound depends on the situation at the time and can also be replaced by applause."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baimian asked curiously:

"How do you preach? How do those people really believe in it?"

Guo Zheng looked at the screen in front, and said not too angrily:

"In the beginning, I used the temptation of food, and then learned deeply about the difficulties of the believers, and helped them solve some of them. In the end, they completely depended on us and completely gave up thinking."

"The first half is pretty normal, but later..." Jiang Baimian pouted, "I thought you were directly using the'hypnotic' ability to teach."

"It's not necessary, but during the Mass, some decorations will be made to improve the effect." Guo Zheng said with a slightly complicated smile, "For most people on the dust, living is a very hard thing. If we can help them think and arrange for them to have a more stable life, then even if they know that there is a problem with the doctrine, they will deceive themselves and choose to believe."

Phew... Jiang Baimian sighed and closed his notebook.

…………

On the second floor of "Afu Gun Shop", in the damp and dim aisle, Long Yuehong put her hands in her pockets and walked to the stairs step by step.

When passing by a house, he sniffed and smelled the smell of food.

The uncle who was cooking on the coal stove at the door saw him and greeted him warmly:

"Would you like to taste it? I cooked the rest of the food in the same way as you said."

After a battle to protect the homeland, Long Yuehong had some friendship with many people in this compound.

He waved his hand again and again:

"No, no, just ate it."

He was embarrassed to eat this family's food-they were also affected by the disaster, and they still need relief to make ends meet.

With a smile on his face, he crossed the uncle and entered the stairs.

Deng Deng Deng, a girl of 17 or 18 ran up on the first floor.

She has a delicate face, wrapped in a shriveled white cotton jacket, and a yellow wow head in her mouth.

"Eh?" Long Yuehong was a little surprised to see each other at this time.

The girl grabbed Wowotou and greeted with a smile:

"good morning."

She noticed Long Yuehong's question and explained casually:

"Recently, there is no business, and there is a relief collar. Teacher An is also willing to take a few more classes at a discount. Of course, we must hurry!"

After speaking, she put Wowotou back into her mouth again, waved her hand with a bright smile, and walked upstairs quickly.

Long Yuehong laughed, went down to the first floor, and met Aunt Nan at the door leading to the courtyard.

Aunt Nan was walking inside with a seven or eight year old girl. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

"Good morning." Long Yuehong took the initiative to say hello, and then asked curiously, "Where is Xiaodong?"

"His grandmother and his mother are still alive, so they took him back. They said they would sell the shops here and go to the first city to ask for a living." Aunt Nan said peacefully, "That's fine."

She smiled immediately and touched the top of the little girl's head:

"Anyway, I won't have children anymore, just make a couple."

The little girl cringed, half hiding behind Aunt Nan, her eyes glistening.

Long Yuehong gave a heartfelt blessing and entered the courtyard.

He immediately raised his head and stared at the winter sky, which was not too bright but not too dark, in a daze.

"What are you thinking about?" Bai Chen moved closer.

Long Yuehong retracted her gaze and said with a smile:

"Every time I walk in the aisle upstairs, I feel like returning to the company. It is a very closed environment. I can meet acquaintances on the way from time to time and talk a few words."

He looked at the sky where clouds were floating again, and said softly:

"It's just that, as soon as you walk out of the stairs here, you can see the sky, see the clouds, and feel the wind.

"I'm thinking, I don't know when, everyone will live on the ground without worrying about being attacked, say hello, after chatting, come out, you can see this..."
