Embers Ad Infinitum

Song He didn't need to speak, Shang Jianyao had already "helped" him and asked:

"What's it like inside?"

One thing is certain from the exchange just now, that is, the fishman prisoner can understand the Red River language, as long as he speaks slowly.

The fishman prisoner shook his head:

"There was a very weird feeling there. We didn't dare to go in, so we had to inform the envoy, uh, who was still a priest at the time."

Song He was not surprised by this and asked:

"After he came out, he banned you from exploring that temple?"

The fishman prisoner was extremely surprised:

"how do you know?"

Thinking about it with his head... Long Yuehong cursed in his heart.

Seeing the smile on Song He's face, the murloc prisoner stopped looking for an explanation and said "hmm":

"At that time, he entered the temple alone and came out less than a quarter of an hour later. Then he said that it was very dangerous inside and that he could not enter without his permission.

"Within two days, he asked everyone to evacuate the island."

Song He nodded and asked in a seductive manner:

"How long did it take for him to become extremely powerful?"

"I don't know." The fish-man prisoner replied a little confused, "We only felt his power two weeks later during a high mass and changed our name to him as God's Envoy."

After Song He listened quietly, he fell into deep thought and did not ask any more questions for a while.

Shang Jianyao seized the opportunity and asked curiously:

"Does he usually like to sleep?"

The fishman prisoner felt confused about this question and stayed for a while before saying:

"Not too sure.

"He lives by himself in the back of the church and only comes out for sermons, masses and events like last night."

Song He and Shang Jianyao took turns asking a few more questions, but neither received satisfactory answers.

It was obvious that the fishman prisoner was not hiding something, but that he really didn't know.

"Okay, that's it for today." Song He stood up and said friendly.

The fishman prisoner was stunned for a moment, then suddenly asked:

"Are you going to execute me?"

His body was shaking slightly.

After glancing at him, Shang Jianyao turned his head and said to the warning person Song He:

"Can I buy these prisoners?"

What do you want to buy... Long Yuehong muttered in his heart.

Song He was silent for a moment, sighed with a smile, and said in Honghe dialect:

"They are not invaders in the true sense. We also have our own homeland that needs to be defended. On the battlefield, it is normal for anyone to kill someone without seeing anything.

"As long as there is no indiscriminate killing, I don't think it is necessary to take revenge on the prisoner. It is enough to judge him accordingly according to the crime he committed under the watchful eye of Zhi Sui. This is the reason why human beings are different from beasts. One of the bottom lines.

"It just so happens that our previous security team never came back. Some of the town guard members sent out for reconnaissance were also caught by fishmen and mountain monsters. If they are still alive and the prisoners here have not committed the crime of indiscriminate killing, I will Promote contact between the two sides and exchange prisoners.”

After hearing these words, the fishman prisoner immediately relaxed, and his whole body seemed to have lost his bones and slumped on the chair.

After leaving the interrogation room, Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong and Song He walked to the Hongshiji parking lot together.

When he was approaching the parking place of the jeep, Shang Jianyao suddenly remembered something:

"Why didn't you see Baz?"

Song He was silent for a moment and said:

"He is also a member of the town guard. He was added to the defense line last night, but he did not come back."

He said it tactfully.

ah? Long Yuehong was a little stunned.

Although he saw many residents of Hongshi Market die in the battle last night, he didn't have any deep feelings because he didn't know them at all. Who knew that Baz, who had worked hard to survive and seek protection before, also lost his life in this battle? life.

Long Yuehong was originally happy that Ankhbas and Herwig's plan was exposed and Baz was protected in the church, but now she suddenly felt a little sad.

So many tunnels he dug couldn't protect him on the battlefield... In such a war, an individual person is really insignificant, and he will die if he wants to... Hey, it would be great if there was no war... Watch Long Yuehong Taking a glance at Shang Jianyao, he couldn't decipher anything from the monkey mask.

Shang Jianyao was silent for a while and said:

"Will you have a funeral for him?

"I know a lot about funerals."

Song He said "hmm":

"Don't be too sad, he entered the new world under the guidance of 'Yougu'.

"Our denomination does not have a complicated funeral, but there will be a requiem mass."

"Can I participate?" Shang Jianyao asked.

Song He nodded lightly:

"Can.

"Without you, more people would have died in Hongshiji."

Saying goodbye to Song He, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong walked back to the hotel camp in silence.

At this time, Jiang Baimian took anti-inflammatory drugs and slept for a while. His mental state and physical feeling were much better than at noon.

After learning about Baz's death, she also lamented for a while and sighed a few words about the fragility of life.

When Long Yuehong talked about the big island in the lake, the sleeping "gods", the taboo temple and the large-scale outbreak of "unintentional diseases", Jiang Baimian's eyes became brighter and brighter.

These are things that she is very interested in.

"After the 'gods' who protected them fell asleep, 'Wuxin Disease' began to break out on a large scale? Is there really a connection between the two? If there is, and we can find it, maybe we can unlock the secret of 'Wuxin Disease'! "The more Jiang Baimian talked, the more excited he became. It seemed that he would ignore his illness in the next second, lift off the quilt, and go straight to the lakeside, looking for a boat.

In addition to being related to "unintentional disease", a sleeping "god" and an awakened person from the old age who were suspected of exploring the depths of the "soul corridor" also filled her with the desire to study.

These are all things that can be met but cannot be sought.

Seeing Jiang Baimian's "returning to the light" look, Long Yuehong quietly hissed:

"Team leader, Lake Nu is the domain of fishmen."

For those who are good at swimming and have gills and scales, it is easy to capsize your boats.

Moreover, sleeping "gods", taboo temples, and large-scale outbreaks of "unintentional diseases" are very dangerous!

"I'm not stupid, I'm still sick." Jiang Baimian replied in a funny tone, "Isn't that right, Xiaobai?"

Bai Chen, who had been listening quietly, thought for a few seconds and said:

"I agree with the last half of your sentence."

"The last half of the sentence? 'Still sick'? Ha, do you think I'm stupid?" Jiang Baimian's brain was not as easy as usual, and he took a while to figure out what Bai Chen meant.

Bai Chen stood up and answered seriously:

"I never said that.

"If you think so, there's nothing I can do about it."

"..." Jiang Baimian was speechless for a while, then turned to look at Shang Jianyao, "Why do I think Xiaobai is infected by you? I miss Xiaobai a little bit when he couldn't say sarcastic words before!"

After laughing for a while, because the patient needed to rest, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong returned to the next room to do their own things, and planned to go to Hongshiji later to buy some fresh food to enrich today's dinner.

After watching them leave the room, Jiang Baimian put away his smile.

She was still ready to move, still wanted to go to the big island in the lake, and wanted to see the sleeping "god".

But this seems to have nothing to do with the "cause of the destruction of the old world". It is not their team's task. She does not want to drag Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Shang Jianyao into a dangerous situation because of her willfulness.

It’s really embarrassing... Do we have to go secretly? But as a role model for a group, how can you do such a thing? Jiang Baimian leaned back on the pillow, his thoughts floating in the air.

At this time, Shang Jianyao, who was sitting on the edge of another bed, suddenly said:

"At least give me a look in advance."

"Ah?" Jiang Baimian was a little confused.

At the same time, she felt that this sentence sounded familiar.

After careful thought, she found that she had said similar words.

That was in Wild Grass City. Shang Jianyao suddenly threatened the group of nobles and formed a brotherhood. She warned this guy, hoping that he would at least give him a look and a hint before doing something similar, and not to make a sudden attack. .

If it really comes to that juncture, can you still not support him and help him protect his back?

What is a companion? He is a person whose eyes can accompany you through life and death!

But now, Shang Jianyao returns what he said.

What he means is that he supports me and is willing to go to the island in the middle of the lake to explore the temple together? Jiang Baimian understood immediately, and a clear smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

She hummed twice and said:

"I see you want to go on your own."

"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao followed suit.

Jiang Baimian glared at him and said with a smile:

"I'm still sick."

Even if you really want to go, you have to wait until you recover from your illness.

Shang Jianyao didn't say anything more. He took out the small speaker from his tactical backpack and started to check it carefully.

After a while, he and Jiang Baimian turned around and looked at the door at the same time.

Dong-dong-dong, the knock on the door rang as promised.

"Who?" Shang Jianyao put on a monkey mask.

He spoke in gray dialect.

Soon, someone outside the door answered in broken gray dialect:

"Lehman.

"Lehman, a businessman from United Industries."

Selling arms to that smuggler Herwig? He refused to see us before and didn't want to get involved in the muddy waters of Hongshiji. Why did he come to visit us again now? Jiang Baimian cheered up, put on his coat and mask.

From the appearance, Lehman does not look like an arms smuggling businessman at all. He has lighter blue eyes, slightly messy short yellow hair, a slightly cramped state, a height of neither height nor short, and an ordinary appearance. His reserved temperament makes him no different from the middle-aged Red River slaves in the noble manor outside Weedao City.

The most eye-catching thing about him is the red nose that appears after long-term alcoholism.

On the dusty earth, a person's long-term alcoholism is enough to illustrate his status, or value.

Surrounded by several bodyguards, Lehman sat down.

He kept smiling, rubbed his hands, and continued to speak in broken gray dialect:

"I heard that you killed a very powerful awakened person?"

Although he was not used to his Hui Tu dialect, Jiang Baimian had no intention of letting him switch to Honghe dialect and asked with a smile:

"Who did you listen to?"

Shang Jianyao added "cooperatingly":

"You actually revealed our secret!"

Lehman's body suddenly became a little stiff.
