Embers Ad Infinitum

Jiang Baimian said "hmm":

"The possibility of Assus being an awakened person cannot be ruled out, but it is basically certain that he has undergone genetic modification."

If Assus is an awakened person, then Jiang Baimian can initially judge that he is in the 'Mandala' field.

Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian smiled:

"If we don't talk about him anymore, he has nothing to do with us.

"The most important thing for us now is to figure out how to bypass the 'virtual world' and contact Marcus while there are still a few days before the next fight."

Jiang Baimian then looked around, clapped his hands and said:

"Don't be too nervous. Think about it, how many things have happened in the first city in just a few days? The 'Wuxin Disease' epidemic, the bombing of a citizen's rally, the 'anti-intellectual religion' conspiracy, and the involvement of the 'Desire Saint' sect. , the assassination in the arena, and the two factions that are inherently divided, the water will become turbid sooner or later, and when the time comes, we will have a chance."

When Jiang Baimian said, "We have a chance," Jiang Baimian glanced at Bai Chen unintentionally, and nodded with a smile.

"This is because Xiaohong is here." Shang Jianyao said this at the right time.

Long Yuehong retorted angrily:

“A lot of this was brewing before I got here.”

"Some things will be given up after they are brewing, but not everything will happen." Shang Jianyao always has a lot of truths.

Jiang Baimian did not stop him this time, and smiled as he watched the two "fighting" each other.

This made the atmosphere in the room pretty good, and even Bai Chen's expression relaxed.

…………

Red Wolf District, Stern Street, 25.

Shang Jianyao, who was wearing a black wig, touched Terrence's iced Coke again.

He took a big sip with satisfaction and asked with a smile:

“Have you heard of the ‘Broken Mirror’ held in November?”

Terrence nodded:

"As a member of a religious organization, it is basic common sense for major leaders to hold office."

"Then have you noticed whether there is an organization that worships the 'Shattered Mirror' in the First City?" Jiang Baimian also enjoyed an ice coke.

It's really nice to taste that refreshing feeling once in a while.

Terence recalled:

“There are none floating on the water, at least I don’t know.

"But I have heard someone mention that there is a secret religion that worships mirrors. This does not mean that they show their belief in 'broken mirrors', but that they regard mirrors as sacred objects and believe that mirrors are unique and mysterious. The other side of the mirror is the new world, and the answer to how to enter the new world lies in the mirror itself."

Jiang Baimian suddenly recalled the huge mirrors erected in the arena and asked thoughtfully:

"Where do they probably hang out? Or, have you identified who their members are?"

Terrence shook his head:

"I just accidentally heard it mentioned by a ruin hunter, but he is not in the city now. He went to the mountains on the north coast to catch the giant white wolf."

What an unlucky coincidence... Jiang Baimian thought to himself and drank the rest of the ice coke:

"Then please contact him if he comes back."

Terrence was not idle either. He had been drinking iced Coke. Hearing this, he nodded and said:

"no problem."

He paused and asked tentatively:

"When will you be able to return the money, maybe convert it into supplies?

"Haha, I'm not in a hurry, but after all, this is the property of our Black Shirt Party. The guy above me and the other guys are very concerned about it."

This question left Jiang Baimian speechless for a moment.

Since the completion of the transaction with Lehman, the "Old Adjustment Team" has relaxed on the matter of making money, focusing entirely on the main task without any awareness of carrying huge debts.

If Shang Jianyao hadn't been thinking about his robotic arm from time to time, Jiang Baimian would have almost forgotten to pay back the money.

The villain still needs to pay back the money he borrowed? She slandered herself, smiled and said:

"It's coming soon, we're working hard to save funds."

intend……

Jiang Baimian, who suddenly felt guilty, did not stay any longer. As soon as Shang Jianyao finished drinking the iced Coke, he pulled him to say goodbye and left.

After getting in the car, she was not in a hurry to discuss the debt problem. She said while controlling the steering wheel:

"I just hope that the relic hunter can come back before the next fight so that we can get some information about the Mirror Sect and see if we can find some clues to bypass the 'virtual world'."

Shang Jianyao sat in the passenger seat and looked ahead:

"I have a method. If it works, it will definitely break the filtering mechanism of the 'virtual world'."

"What method?" Jiang Baimian wanted to hear what magical ideas this guy had.

Shang Jianyao said seriously:

"I converted to 'Broken Mirror' and prayed for His help."

He looked like "I have sacrificed a lot". After all, the Holy Communion of "Dragon Sect" is not so attractive compared to organizations such as "Melting Pot Sect".

Of course, he didn't know what sacraments the sect that worshiped mirrors had.

"Theoretically it's feasible, but the probability of receiving blessing is so low that it's almost negligible." Jiang Baimian rejected Shang Jianyao's opinion based on feasibility.

After discussing this matter, she sighed and said:

"How can we make money to pay back the Black Shirts?"

"Without creditors, there is no debt." Shang Jianyao laughed and answered.

He immediately made a downward cutting motion with his hand:

"As long as the 'Black Shirts' are killed, there is no need to pay back the money."

Jiang Baimian was stunned for a second and subconsciously thought about the feasibility.

For the "Old Tune Group" that is now armed to the teeth, it is still possible to destroy the "Black Shirt Party" as long as the "Transcendental Spirituality" sect is not involved.

Phew, what are you thinking about? Jiang Baimian quickly woke up and said angrily:

"Am I so black-hearted? Do I look like such a dishonest person?

"Even if the Black Shirts have done all their bad things, if I want to do justice to God, I have to pay them back the money first."

"And then get the money back?" Shang Jianyao said with a smile.

Jiang Baimian finally confirmed that this guy was joking, glanced at him, and said to himself while driving:

“Let’s go back to the Hunter Guild to see if there are any tasks we can take on.

"Also, the company, please report what you gained in the arena yesterday and apply for some funding.

"Let's just say that the money was used to bribe key figures and obtain tickets to the noble box. We can't use our favors for everything, right?"

Bang bang bang, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands.

While the two were talking, the jeep drove into the Green Olive District and went straight to the Ugo Hotel.

They want to confirm whether the boss has found any traces of the Nightmare Horse.

It was almost noon, and Ugo still had a meal of water, black bread, and stewed beans.

He raised his head and glanced at Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian, but said nothing.

Jiang Baimian led Shang Jianyao back to the room with some understanding.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw a piece of paper on the table, pressed with a dry cup.

Jiang Baimian picked it up and looked at it. There was only a simple sentence on it:

"Someone has seen that horse in the North Shore mountains."

North Shore mountains? Jiang Baimian moved his eyebrows in surprise.

"It's going after the giant white wolf!" Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and struck his left palm with a look of realization on his face.

Jiang Baimian frowned and whispered:

"But Sleeping Cat is in the city, and Xiao Chong should be somewhere with electricity."

Shang Jianyao put on a posture of "this is very simple":

"In the past, Nightmare Horse traveled hundreds of kilometers away in pursuit of Qiao Chu."

"Indeed...it's really capable..." Jiang Baimian exclaimed in a funny tone, "But how did it 'smell' the white wolf in the mountains on the north bank when it was in the city?"

Back then, Qiao Chu went deep into the Swamp No. 1 ruins.

"Maybe we met by chance while walking in the mountains on the north coast." Shang Jianyao nodded.

"Okay..." Jiang Baimian couldn't think of any other explanation.

She looked solemn and turned to say:

"If we meet a nightmare horse, can we have it take us to see Xiao Chong?"

"I don't understand horse language..." Shang Jianyao was very embarrassed.

He is quite conscious about his position as "translator".

Jiang Baimian ignored him and sighed to himself:

"I really need to go to the Hunters Guild this afternoon."
