Embers Ad Infinitum

The roads in Golden Apple District are wide, and the houses on both sides are not too high, but there is enough distance between them, just like the place where Gnawa lived in Tarnan.

Telegraph poles, street lamps, statues, and green trees are scattered around, embellishing this area with peace and tranquility.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Long Yuehong couldn't believe that this place was in the same city as Green Olive District.

The Red Giant Wolf District he had visited before, except for the presence of many high-rise buildings left over from the old world, seemed more planned and cleaner than the Green Olive District.

Jiang Baimian glanced at Bai Chen, who was in charge of driving, and then looked sideways at Shang Jianyao, who was deep in thought:

"what's on your mind?"

She would rather Shang Jianyao join the discussion and bring up more crooked topics than sit there quietly and make no sound, which means that it won't be long before he is likely to give you a big one.

Shang Jianyao thought and replied:

"I'm thinking about which song to play that better represents my current mood and better complements the atmosphere here."

"How are you feeling now? I can help you with data screening." Gnawa suggested enthusiastically.

Shang Jianyao has a backup of all his songs and entertainment materials. Anyway, he still has enough storage space - if it is really not enough, Gnawa has multiple slots and you can buy your own memory chips. to expand.

Just as Shang Jianyao was about to describe his state, Bai Chen, who was driving, suddenly reminded:

"The target residence is almost here."

The Jeep was driving down Dome Street, named for its location on top of a hill.

The target of the "Old Tune Team" this time is Ole's granddaughter Avia.

As the vehicle moved forward smoothly, Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and others saw the house corresponding to No. 14 Yuanqiu Street:

This building has a very classical charm, with stone pillars supporting the roof, and green vines winding along fixed tracks, bringing a bit of freshness from nature.

Its overall shape is different from the villas in Hongshiji and Tarnan, and has more of a classical era temperament in the Red River Basin. It has four floors, and the door is so exaggerated that even if it only opens the lower half, a giant man over two meters tall can pass without lowering his head.

Obviously, unless a large number of guests are received or a grand banquet is held, only the lower half of the double brown door is usually used.

"Don't look too much." Jiang Baimian, who was in the passenger seat, withdrew his gaze and warned.

She imagined this place to be a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, and would rather miss it than take the risk.

Long Yuehong, Shang Jianyao and Gennava turned their attention back to the car one after another.

During this process, Long Yuehong caught sight of a woman from the corner of his eye:

She is in her mid-twenties, close to Long Yuehong in height, wearing a long white dress, with blond curly hair, light blue eyes, a high nose bridge and deep lines, and has an unforgettable classical beauty.

The only downside is that her nose is a bit too big, but that doesn't detract from her beauty.

Long Yuehong was stunned for a moment. When her eyes turned to the front row, a name flashed in her mind:

Avia!

Avia Ubis!

One of the two major goals of the "Old Tune Group"!

"Team leader, Aviya!" Long Yuehong hurriedly reported the situation to Jiang Baimian.

He just glanced at her and didn't pay attention to how many people were around Avia. He only knew that there were a lot of them.

Jiang Baimian responded immediately and said in a deep voice:

"Look no further."

She just glanced at the rearview mirror and stopped observing Avia.

The appearance of Aviya means that the secret protector is nearby. If the "old tune team" behaves slightly abnormally, it will be noticed immediately, and then the trouble will be big.

Regarding Jiang Baimian's order, Shang Jianyao expressed different opinions:

"As a normal man, Xiaohong, when such a beautiful girl passes by, why wouldn't he take a few more glances?"

"That's right." Jiang Baimian then realized that he was too tense and his reaction was a bit excessive, "Who doesn't like beautiful girls? I will look at them more when I meet them."

As she spoke, she looked back openly at Avia's group of people, as did Long Yuehong.

Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen were on the other side and couldn't see them, so they had to give up.

Shang Jianyao originally seemed to want to put his body across Gnawa and Long Yuehong, force his head out of the opposite car window, and look at Aviya, but in the end he did not do so.

It's normal to take a few more glances at the passing beauties, but it's very abnormal to do this just to take a few more glances at the passing beauties.

The "Old Tune Team" knew that his mind was jumping and different from normal people, but the strong man who secretly protected Avia and monitored the situation around her didn't know that.

At that time, a quick check will reveal the problem.

There were quite a few bodyguards...but I couldn't tell who was strong and who was weak...Long Yuehong didn't look at them too much. She stopped and looked away.

The same is true for Jiang Baimian.

"Those people all have problems." She simply shared her observations with a calm expression.

At this time, the Jeep maintained a similar speed and drove forward to an intersection.

Bai Chen turned the steering wheel and turned the vehicle to the left.

This allowed Shang Jianyao to see Avia's group of people from his car window.

"The problem is that those bodyguards don't look very good?" Shang Jianyao asked immediately.

"Uh, what logic?" Long Yuehong was a little confused.

Shang Jianyao analyzed it carefully for him:

"If I were Aviya, except for the strongest ones, when choosing other bodyguards, I would definitely choose the ones that look more pleasing to the eye."

Long Yuehong tried to refute, but had to admit that it made sense.

"It may have been arranged by others. She has no right to refuse." Gnawa gave another explanation.

"Yes, yes." Only then did Long Yuehong realize that she had been taken into the ditch by Shang Jianyao.

After the vehicle moved away from Yuanqiu Street, Jiang Baimian glanced at the rearview mirror and said calmly:

"Those people's bioelectrical signals are highly consistent, and their expressions are also very similar. They are not careful enough."

"Ah this..." Long Yuehong's pupils suddenly enlarged.

His mind was in chaos, and he couldn't analyze what it meant for a while. Instead, he thought of ghost stories.

Shang Jianyao opened his arms, half-lying his body, looking at the roof of the car and said:

"Everything is a fantasy, why take it seriously?"

Yes... Long Yuehong suddenly woke up and blurted out:

"Hallucination!

"Did we encounter an illusion just now?"

Gnawa's eyes flashed red a few times and said:

"It's very similar to Tarnan's 'Higher Heartless One'."

"The degree of reality is almost the same." Bai Chen expressed his feelings.

When she turned the corner, she also saw Avia and other "people".

Jiang Baimian laughed:

“Isn’t this what we want?

"There is at least one 'Soul Corridor'-level powerhouse in the field of illusion who is secretly protecting Aviya. Seeing that we are strangers, he created an illusion to test us.

"Fortunately, we all behaved quite normally."

Shang Jianyao said excitedly:

"I wonder if he knows Master Zhou."

"I don't think I know him." Jiang Baimian poured cold water on him. "The Mirage Dragon Cult is mainly popular in areas where Gray Earth people gather. The information provided by the company did not mention any signs of Mirage Dragon Cult activities in the original city. .”

"She still owes us a meal of pig meat." Shang Jianyao looked regretful.

Jiang Baimian breathed out:

"She doesn't owe it."

She turned and said:

"Now it can be confirmed that the 'Primordial City' protects Avia and Marcus very tightly, involving strong men at the 'Soul Corridor' level."

When it comes to providing protection within a city, armed men are certainly no match for the Awakened, unless they have the mentality that they don't care how much damage they cause.

"Are you still going to Crown Street now?" Long Yuehong's heart moved and she asked.

Another target of the "Old Tune Team" was Marcus at 57 Crown Street.

"I won't go. After 'visiting' Yuanqiu Street and then 'visiting' Crown Street, it would be too coincidental and could easily arouse suspicion." Jiang Baimian had already made up his mind, "Next time we change cars, two or three Come in small groups."

In order not to show any abnormality, Bai Chen drove a jeep, took Shang Jianyao and others, and "visited" different streets in Golden Apple District and Red Giant Wolf District for a while, and did not return to Ugo Hotel until noon.

There are few pedestrians on the streets here, and many shops are closed.

"What happened?" Jiang Baimian pointed to the door and asked the boss Ugo, "Why is it so deserted all of a sudden?"

Ugo replied calmly:

“The outbreak of ‘Wuxin Disease’ was so violent that many people no longer dared to stay in these streets and chose to stay with relatives and friends for a while.

"As you also know, most of the time, every outbreak of 'Wuxin Disease' is only limited to a certain range."

Those who are left now basically have nowhere else to go.

Before Jiang Baimian asked further, Shang Jianyao asked a question:

"If all the people in these streets run away, will this outbreak of 'unintentional disease' be over?"

In the entire "Old Tune Group", the person who has studied "Wu Xin Disease" the most is Jiang Baimian. She opened her mouth, but did not give an answer.

Ugo glanced at Shang Jianyao and showed a slightly sarcastic smile:

“It will spread to other areas.

"So, those who had slaves left slaves behind."

Shang Jianyao nodded and asked with concern:

"Then why don't you leave? Aren't you afraid of contracting Wuxin Disease?"

Ugo's eyes became quite strange, and then returned to normal.

He replied in his original tone of not caring about anything:

"I've always had good luck."

Shang Jianyao looked at him with pity:

"That's because you don't know it yet..."

He immediately felt Jiang Baimian put his left hand on his arm and closed his mouth obediently.

Jiang Baimian then said that he had an employer who wanted to obtain information about this "unintentional disease" case, and hoped that Ugo could introduce him and others to the nearby police chief.

"10 Ole, I will give you the information tomorrow." Ugo answered with a direct quotation.

"Okay." Jiang Baimian took out 10 Ole and handed it over.

Then, she returned to Room 202 with all the members of the "Old Tune Team".

Long Yuehong stood by the door, hesitated for a moment, and asked without hiding her worry:

"Team leader, are we moving to another district?"

If anyone in the group suffers from an "unintentional disease", it will be impossible to save him even if he wants to.

And no one can guarantee whether it will happen or not.

PS: I made an mistake, the timer was set wrong, and I didn’t find out until Uncle Chang came to see me. .
