Embers Ad Infinitum

In the safe house, Jitis looked at Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, with a little hope, and said a little hastily:

"Can you help me find the Bodhi statue?"

In this case, she was a little sick and rushed to the doctor.

However, after losing all the abilities brought by the Bodhi statue, and after the clones died one after another, she seemed to have returned to the helpless girl she was before. The "Old Tune Team" was something she knew and could provide some help in this matter and was worthy of it. The only object of trust.

"No problem!" Shang Jianyao looked righteous.

When it comes to his friends, he always shows his heart and soul.

Jiang Baimian said "hmm":

"Based on the attack location you provided, we will conduct an investigation around the area to look for traces of the attacker, but don't hold out too much hope. Her ability is 'invisibility' and there may not be witnesses."

In fact, she judged from the fact that the assassin only used two pistols for each attack, that the opponent could not carry heavy items while invisible.

In that case, the assassin holding the Bodhi statue may not be able to maintain his invisibility and must evacuate in the normal way.

The reason why Jiang Baimian did not tell Kitis this speculation was because he was afraid that the other party would raise too much hope, and the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

"I understand." Kittis nodded slowly.

Although she has lost her abilities, compared with three years ago, she has more problems than just being easily distracted and having frequent headaches, but also has more experience, experience and knowledge.

Regardless of Esther, Iman, or Franz, they are all people in high positions. They have experienced a lot of things in the past, and these memories have provided sufficient nutrients for Kitis's growth.

As Jiang Baimian's thoughts turned around, he suddenly smiled and asked:

"Would you mind calling the police?

"Would you mind providing the Hunter Guild with the whereabouts of the Bodhi statue?"

Gittes thought for a moment and asked uncertainly:

"You mean, use the Hunters Guild and official people to find the attacker?"

"Yes." Jiang Baimian said with a slight smile, "As long as we provide clues that the victim obtained the Bodhi statue at some time but was taken away by the attacker, a large number of security officers and relic hunters will help us complete the tedious investigation work. , combing the corresponding clues, which can save a lot of energy, why not do it?

“Of course, this also requires taking a certain risk, that is, when we find the attacker, we are one step behind and fail to get the statue back, leaving it in the hands of official forces or mission issuers.

"We respect your opinion on how to choose."

Seeing that Kittis did not blame the "Old Tune Team", she did not think that their request for cooperation caused the Bodhi statue to be robbed. She felt that this girl was really a good person, so she was very dedicated.

"You can also earn a line bounty this way..." Jitis nodded thoughtfully.

Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian expressed their deep appreciation.

After confirming the direction, Jiang Baimian took a breath and emphasized again:

"In this matter, you'd better not have any hope. If I were the attacker, after getting the statue, I would definitely leave Gerstburg as soon as possible before anyone could react. That way. Once we came here, in the vast wilderness and boundless ice fields, it was almost a dream to find her.”

Gittes could not hide her disappointment, but expressed her understanding:

"I can't contact you right away, and I don't dare."

At that time, she had too much aftermath work to do, and she no longer had powers such as "clairvoyance" and "clairvoyance".

From that moment on, she was prepared for the complete loss of the Bodhi statue.

"It's okay, it's okay." Shang Jianyao comforted, "How long do you have until you wake up?"

Gittes considered her words and said:

"I have a hunch that it will be within this year. The specific time will depend on whether there are corresponding opportunities."

"Will it be the realm of 'Bodhi'?" Shang Jianyao asked.

"The possibility is very high." Jitis and Awakening are still far away from each other, so they dare not answer in the affirmative.

Jiang Baimian then took off his backpack:

"Let's pick out a prop. Although you can't use it now, there will be a day."

"This pen can create the same hobby for one hundred people within a range of three hundred meters. That hobby has a very high priority and trumps most things. The price is anger and it is easy to lose your mind.

"These glasses can create a maze of illusions within a range of four hundred meters, or distort a single target's senses, causing him to completely fall into hallucinations at the cost of being afraid of water."

Gitis pondered for a while and said:

"I want those glasses."

She felt that anger would be very troublesome as a price, but she was afraid of water and could avoid the corresponding scene in advance.

"Okay." Shang Jianyao picked up the "maze glasses" and put them into Jitis' backpack.

The "Pen of Hobby" has therefore been assigned to the "Old Tune Group" and is currently in the custody of Jiang Baimian.

Jiang Baimian pointed to the Gauss rifle and other items he brought up:

"The weapons and ammunition are yours, and the money is ours, how about that?"

For the "Old Adjustment Team", if they really want to distribute weapons and ammunition, they have to exchange them for coins so that they can replenish supplies later. Therefore, it is better to just take the money and throw these things to the local snake Jitis.

Gitis estimated the price, nodded slightly and said:

"good."

Because of the existence of Gauss rifles, the price of these weapons and ammunition is better than those of gold and silver coins, so Kittis feels there is no problem. Moreover, although her clones have been lost, she herself still knows and has been exposed to the underground black market. of.

After all, she was a successful intelligence businessman before.

"This cooperation is almost over. The biological medicine for you will arrive in two days. We will give it to you directly at the hotel." Jiang Baimian exhaled slowly.

It's nothing to hide - Gittes often buys her parents medicines and biologics, and many people know that.

Gitis finally got the good news and her expression felt much relieved.

Before saying goodbye, Shang Jianyao asked enthusiastically:

"Do you have enough savings to buy the latest genetically modified medicines?

"If it's not enough, we can lend you some."

The most we can squeeze out is one big knight gold coin, what's the use of it? Jiang Baimian cursed but did not stop him.

At worst, apply for some funds from above!

I and others have found out the specific location of the Eighth Research Institute. Who can say no to asking for funds?

As for the previous biological agents, they were used to bribe key figures and were necessary expenses for the mission.

Gittes was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect that this group of people actually planned to lend her money.

She looked Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao up and down, then said with a slight smile:

"You are also men of true chivalry."

I'm not, I'm not worthy, I'm only qualified... Jiang Baimian is very self-aware.

Gittes immediately stopped smiling:

"No need. After three years, I have actually saved enough money to buy the latest genetically modified drugs, but a large part of them have to be prepared for my parents' diseases.

"As long as the biological agents you provide this time are effective, I can bear the cost of improving the genes myself."

"Very good!" Shang Jianyao smiled sincerely.

After taking a few steps towards the door, he suddenly turned around and said to Kittis:

"Does the shooting of your clone count as a bloody disaster?"

"It definitely counts." Jitis did not hesitate.

"It turns out that this is how the bloody disaster was realized..." Shang Jianyao suddenly realized.

The object of his prophecy at that time was himself and others, and as a collaborator, Gitis must be considered one of his own at that moment.

Jiang Baimian nodded, and then told Shang Jianyao:

"But we can't let our guard down tonight until after the early hours."

After leaving the safe house, the two visited the crime scene to look for possible witnesses.

However, it was too quiet there and it was during working hours. No one noticed what happened in the alley until the smell of blood spread.

No one has said they have seen the photos of the attackers printed by the "Old Tune Team" through Gnawa.

Jiang Baimian suspected that either the person had prepared a car outside the alley, got in the car and left immediately after getting the Bodhi statue, or she had a co-ordinator who handed the Bodhi statue to the person and then "invisibly" left. .

"Start with her symmetry obsessive-compulsive disorder tomorrow." Jiang Baimian saw that the sky was dark and he and others had not slept for three days and two nights, so he had to interrupt the investigation.

The next morning, after a good sleep, they went to the Hunters Guild first, intending to submit this "clue".

"What? The mission has been cancelled?" Shang Jianyao was shocked and disappointed.

The staff member simply replied:

"The mission issuer confirmed that his men obtained the Bodhi statue."

"He got it when he said he got it? Didn't he trick everyone into coming to Gerstburg?" Shang Jianyao was indignant.

The staff member sighed and said:

"The mission publisher has paid nearly thirty Grand Knight gold coins for the clues collected in the early stage."

Many successful relic hunters are quite satisfied.

Jiang Baimian pondered for a moment and said:

"So it seems that the man who issued the mission is the attacker?"

In other words, the assassin handed the Bodhi statue to the men who issued the mission.

The person who issued the mission was obviously not the Eighth Research Institute, otherwise the assassin would not have gone his own way and tricked Professor Qin and Qiao Chu.

Jiang Baimian suspected that after the last time, the assassin might have betrayed the Eighth Research Institute and was currently working for the publisher of the mission.

"Yes!" Shang Jianyao turned to the door, "Let's go to the police station to report it!"

This also earns you a lead fee.

Mosquito meat is also meat!

Jiang Baimian nodded, secretly feeling sorry for Kitis for a few seconds:

The Bodhi statue cannot be found, as it has been moved out of Gerstburg.

…………

A few days later, the "Old Tune Team" handed the received biological agent to Kitis and confirmed the effect.

Then, having seen Smith, they drove the jeep that had been replenished with supplies, left Gerstburg, and headed for the ice field.

After the jeep left the fortification, Shang Jianyao looked back and said with regret:

"I also want to try to see if the latest genetic modification drug of the 'White Knights' will be useful to us..."

"No money." Jiang Baimian replied concisely.

Bai Chen drove the car forward without reducing the speed.

Target location, Cornimis.
