Embers Ad Infinitum

For "Father" Alex, it was indeed a "long time no see" with Shang Jian Yao, because they had met once outside the Hunter Guild in Weed City, and he was told by Shang Jian Yao to take more rest and improve his sleep. .

Who knew, after going around and around, the two of them would actually become rivals and officially meet each other.

At this moment, what "Father" Alex is most concerned about is not this problem, but that he has clearly gotten rid of the stalker, evaded the surveillance personnel at high places, continuously changed directions, and changed clothes. Why is he still there? Blocked by Zhang Qubing.

This makes no sense!

Is there an awakened person's ability to mark the target? "Father" Alex, who had heavy dark circles under his eyes, bent his back slightly and tensed his body.

At the same time, he blurted out:

"Why?

"Why did you know I would leave from this alley?"

Wearing sunglasses and holding his left hand tightly, Shang Jianyao laughed and said:

"Mr. Father, have you forgotten that there is an intelligent robot in our team?

"He can add modules, transform himself, and temporarily act as a small base station with a small coverage area. As long as we confirm that you are in the Alpha Building, we can install cameras in multiple key places in the surrounding area and directly transmit them wirelessly. Connected to his base station, he can access the surveillance video in a timely manner and find your escape route.

"You should know that the computing power of robots is far better than that of us carbon-based humans. Even if we check the picture frame by frame, it will not take much time.

"Before you entered this apartment, we were rushing here. After discovering that you didn't come out for a short time, we decided to divide the work and cooperate, each guarding an exit.

"So, you just happened to meet me, rather than being discovered by chance."

"Father" Alex's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he felt that his fighting method went beyond his own knowledge or habits and experiences.

Shang Jianyao immediately smiled and said:

"Times have changed, Mr. Father.

"Technology has changed life.

"The only downside to this is that it costs a lot of money."

Seeing that the "priest" who didn't look so tired remained silent, Shang Jianyao continued:

"Too cautious is not necessarily a good thing; you were really too cautious and missed the best chance to escape; so, remember this lesson in the future, if you still have a future..."

Shang Jianyao paused before explaining what he meant:

"You shouldn't take the opportunity to change clothes or disguise yourself. If you enter the Red Giant Wolf District from this alley and turn to other streets, we won't be able to catch up.

"At that time, we were still a long way away from this apartment, and this alley was already on the edge of the surveillance of those cameras, at the limit of Lao Ge's temporary base station. Once you walk out of here, we will lose your trace. .

"It's a pity that you were too cautious and wasted your most precious escape opportunity on changing your clothes."

Hearing this, "Father" Alex suddenly raised his head slightly and looked into Shang Jianyao's eyes wearing sunglasses.

As a not-too-pure-bred Gray native, he has deep black eyes and a name in the Red River language.

At this moment, in his eyes, which were as dark as late at night, there were tiny whirlpools emerging, as if they could suck away the soul of the person looking at him.

Almost at the same time, he took steps forward, as if he wanted to pass by Shang Jianyao.

At this moment, Shang Jianyao seemed to have turned into a clay puppet, standing there motionless.

"You are my servant." "Father" Alex's voice is low and magnetic, with a wonderful sense of penetration that seems to directly penetrate the target's soul.

Seeing that he was about to pass the blocker, "Father" Alex's open arms suddenly stiffened, and he felt like he didn't know how to coordinate with the fast walking.

His steps were already a little frivolous, and he staggered suddenly, while Shang Jianyao, who was standing blankly, turned sideways, grabbed his shoulders, and pushed him towards his knees that were suddenly raised.

With a pop, "Father" Alex opened his mouth and bent his body into a prawn shape.

Shang Jianyao immediately took off the pair of sunglasses and showed the inside of the photo paper to the real "priest".

"Surprise?" he asked with a smile.

"Father" Alex's pupils dilated, and he couldn't believe that he would make such a mistake.

He didn't even notice that there was no real eye contact!

He actually started taking action without even meeting the prerequisites for "hypnosis"!

"Ah, by the way, I forgot to tell you that I convinced you from the beginning that caution is not a good thing." Shang Jianyao had an exaggerated expression.

The passage "Too much caution may not be a good thing" constitutes a kind of "reasoning clown" with a guiding nature!

At this moment, everything in front of Shang Jianyao suddenly became illusory, and things like reflections on the water swayed and shattered as a stone hit them.

He returned to the moment when he "reunited after a long separation" with "Father" Zhen.

What just happened was just a drama previewed by "Father" Alex using an improved version of "Dream Journey"!

Everything seems to be back to before, except that "Father" Alex has mastered all kinds of responses that Shang Jianyao can do.

No, it's still a little different.

Shang Jianyao's face wearing sunglasses showed a puzzled expression, as if he couldn't remember what he came to this alley for, and who the human consciousness in front of him represented.

"Father" Alex raised the corners of his mouth slightly when he saw this.

His right hand, which had been drooping, touched the glass bead ring on his left little finger.

This ring solidifies the "tampering of memory" ability from "Shepherd" Bouillon.

And this ability only needs to enter a ten-meter range, without eye contact, to have an effect.

This is actually the same ability as "Father" Alex himself, but when he chose the reward, he still chose such a ring.

Because this allows him to quietly tamper with the other party's memory while using "Dream Journey", and the "tampering with memory" ability solidified by the ring has a range that is a full five meters longer than Alex's own.

In the battle of the Awakened, not to mention five meters, one meter may be the difference between victory and defeat.

Therefore, even if wearing this ring would cause him to have abnormal self-perception in some aspect, Alex would always carry it with him.

In such a race against time, he did not use "Dream Journey" to rehearse another fight, but to conceal his real purpose - to close the distance and quietly tamper with some of Shang Jianyao's memories to let him Just "let" yourself go!

When Shang Jianyao was confused, "Father" Alex had already quickened his pace and headed straight for the exit of the alley.

He is now convinced that as long as he escapes from here, he will completely escape the crisis.

Suddenly, something moved in his heart and he rushed to the side.

boom!

In front of him, stone fragments flew and bullet holes suddenly appeared.

Someone fired a shot here from a distance!

This comes from Jiang Baimian.

At the same time, the confused Shang Jianyao smiled.

He said to "Father":

"When did you get the illusion that I wasn't careful?

"I have been quietly watching you tamper with my memory."

When he said this, he loosened his grip on his left hand, revealing the green luminous pearl in his palm.

"Destiny Pearl", "Destiny Pearl" from Di Marco!

Shang Jianyao has just been using the power of this luminous pearl to monitor his memory and hide some key contents!

When the rolling "Priest" heard this, his eyes suddenly solidified.

Shang Jianyao continued to smile:

"I'm actually cooperating with your performance to delay time and wait for my companions to arrive."

He immediately stretched out his right hand and said the long-awaited line:

"Mr. Father, do you want to fight alone or in a group?

"In a one-on-one challenge, you challenge us alone; in a group fight, a group of us beat you up."

At this time, the small speaker in the security area was still playing the song:

"Hey, I really miss you..."
