Embers Ad Infinitum

While Jiang Baimian was thinking, Bai Chen, who was driving, said where he thought the true "priest" might haunt:

"After he smoked banner cigarettes, will he become addicted to it and often need to go to the port to buy them?"

"From the long-term lack of sleep of the true'priest', as long as the effect of similar items is good enough, he will definitely continue to use it." Long Yuehong echoed.

When Shang saw Yao heard this, he sneered:

"But we only have five people."

Jiang Baimian nodded then:

"The real'priest' may continue to buy flag cigarettes, but the problem is that in the port alone, there are many shops selling such cheap cigarettes, and many people go to buy them every day, and the real'priest' is definitely Will not come out in person, will definitely use the way of'hypnotizing' passers-by and letting them act as tools.

"We can't monitor so many stores at the same time, and it's also difficult to tell who among the buyers is the'toolman'."

"Yeah." Genawah learned Long Yuehong's mantra sometime, "If the port area, including the entire Green Olive District, can have cameras everywhere like Tarnan, it will be fine."

That way, you can invade the municipal system, write programs, screen surveillance videos, and use time and patience to find clues about the true "priest".

"It really needs to be reformed here." Shang Jianyao agreed.

After a short silence, Long Yuehong proposed a second possibility:

"Monitoring the residence of General Focas?

"Since you were implied there and were followed by the true ‘priest’ puppets, would the true ‘priest’ hide there, or would you often need to go there to communicate with the hidden ‘anti-intellectual’ powerhouse?

"As soon as we find a target that meets the characteristics of the character, we will let Old Ge go to confirm it."

Jiang Baimian nodded gently and said:

"This is an idea, but I think it is unlikely.

"Since there are puppets, the real ‘priest’ doesn’t need to come out to communicate in person, just like the fake ‘priest’ Sandel.”

She deliberatedly continued:

"From the perspective of the real ‘priest’’s style of doing things, he will walk out of the darkness and come under the sun only when he needs to act personally."

"So, we need to find a target that the true ‘priest’ is likely to deal with personally?" Long Yuehong asked rhetorically in cooperation.

Jiang Baimian nodded and said:

"The current focus of'anti-intellectualism' should be to provoke infighting in the'prime city' and make the situation here become chaotic.

"Now that they have taken the first step, we need to know who is the key person who prevented them from taking the second step.

“This can be done through the company’s intelligence network to collect information, to see who is trying to maintain stability and suppress excessive behaviors, who is conservative and who is involved in colluding with the'Salvation Army' and'anti-intellectualism'. The reformists have completely torn away the obstacles, or whose death will completely intensify the contradictions."

Having said that, Jiang Baimian laughed:

"After locking the corresponding target, we might have to act as a free and secret bodyguard.

"At that time, we will not be involved in the confrontation at the level of the'Spirit Corridor', but just look for an opportunity to give the true'priest' a sap."

Papa, Shang Jian Yao clapped.

He asked expectantly:

"Do we have to see that Garibaldi again?

"Will he change to a better cafe this time?"

"Maybe it has become a restaurant?" Jiang Baimian replied with a smile.

Shang Jianyao's eyes suddenly brightened.

...

Two days later, the fake "priest" Sandel sent a telegram saying that he had reported to the real "priest" that he had been attacked. After barely escaping, he did not seem to be under suspicion and investigation, but he never received an order by letter.

He felt that the true "priest" should be aware of it, and keeping himself might just be a "poison bait".

In the process of secretly competing with the real "priest", the "old tune group" became more and more cautious. Not only did they quietly move back to the Ugo Hotel, but they also rented a few extra rooms as a safe house.

They no longer make telegrams where they live, for fear of being monitored by radio signals, lock their positions, and go to a specific safe house to deal with this matter every time.

And there is another safe house near this safe house specially used to take telegrams. Its function is to monitor whether the former is exposed and whether there are suspicious people around.

In similar fields, the "old-tune group" quickly accumulated enough experience.

This is a "subject" that Jiang Baimian and others have had contact with before but can't be said to be in-depth. It is more of a "subject" on paper.

After allowing the false "priest" Sandel to continue lurking, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao went out and went to the Silver Candle Cafe on Bliss Street in the Red Wolf District as usual.

Yes, the intelligence agent "Garibaldi" chose the same place.

Before going out, both Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao did a certain amount of camouflage, and the army-green jeep finished a new round of painting at a refitting factory that Bai Chen trusted and turned it into dark green.

This is quite different from what the true "priest" knows.

In fact, there were several "rootless" camps around the city at the beginning, but the "Sangzi" business group of Fei Lin and others was not here during this time, and Jiang Baimian couldn't believe in the other "rootless" teams.

In the Silver Candle Cafe, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, who deliberately showed mercenary temperament, each ordered a cup of coffee, and sat in their old positions near the window and in the corner.

Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Gnawa were afraid of accidents, so they didn't split into three teams and all entered the same monitoring position.

While drinking poor-quality "Buxia" coffee, Shang Jianyao came up with an idea:

"Our height, our race, are still too conspicuous in the city at first, even if we disguise it, it is easy to make an impression on others.

"Or, let's dye the hair of the ‘rootless’? Hey, it’s a pity that there are very few contact lenses that change the color of the eyes in the dust now."

Even the production of ordinary contact lenses is extremely low.

-Ordinary people are nearsighted, and they simply don't have the ability to wear glasses, and the middle class with a slightly better life, normal glasses are enough, there is no need to pursue invisible ones.

Only the group of people standing on the top of the lime-soil pyramid can have the leisure, resources and motivation to chase contact lenses.

"You can shave a bald head." Jiang Baimian held back a smile and offered his own suggestion.

Shang Jian Yao actually seriously considered it.

"That's more conspicuous." Jiang Baimian quickly dispelled his thoughts.

To be honest, she couldn't imagine Shang Jian Yao with a bald version.

Although that might be stronger.

As the two talked, a man wearing a thin black coat and a peaked cap, who was less than 1.75 meters tall, entered the Silver Candle Cafe.

He swept around quickly and chose to sit behind Jiang Baimian and them.

When passing by Shang to see Yao and Jiang Baimian, the man took the opportunity to wipe his face with his right hand and brought out a neatly folded piece of paper.

The piece of paper fell in front of Shang Jianyao, and was completely covered by him by gently raising his hand.

The man didn't seem to notice, and he sat in the position he chose.

He is one of the intelligence officers of "Pangu Creature" in the original city, "Garibaldi".

This time, he did not introduce himself or ask, but patiently waited for Jiang Baimian to give new demands.

As for the content he wants to give feedback, it's all on the folded paper.

This includes the details of the initial assassination of the veteran of the city by the true "priest", the test results of the cigarette butt, the current political situation of the city and the roles played by several key veterans.

The latter two are used to analyze the next goal of "anti-intellectual education".

Jiang Baimian immediately picked up the cup, took a sip of coffee and said:

"Nothing else this time."

She deliberately suppressed her voice, as if she didn't want to disturb other customers in the cafe.

Shang Jianyao immediately helped her repeat it.

"Garibaldi" did not leave immediately, just like ordinary customers, waited for his coffee to come, and slowly finished it.

Jiang Baimian was also not in a hurry, and it took a long time before he unfolded the piece of paper that Shang Jianyao handed over and scanned it quickly.

On the first page is the test result of that cigarette butt:

"Human saliva has been extracted... There is a mint ingredient in saliva, which belongs to'Ralfi' sugar by comparison. It contains the roots and stems of the plant like Ralfie. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com can effectively refresh and improve your mind. It causes diarrhea to a certain extent and is more popular in the original city (Note: the diet structure of the original city can easily cause constipation and indigestion)... DNA does not match all the samples in the laboratory database, and it is impossible to determine the identity..."

Seeing this, Jiang Baimian noticed that Garibaldi put down his cup and walked out of the cafe slowly.

She lowered her head and continued to look at the intelligence.

Suddenly, a bang came from outside.

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao suddenly raised their heads and looked out the window, only to see a person falling to the street ground.

He is wearing a thin black coat and a peaked cap on his head.

"Garibaldi"!
