Embers Ad Infinitum

After walking a few steps down the stairs, Shang Jianyao suddenly made a sound of "oops".

"What's wrong?" Jiang Baimian asked sideways, "You can speak now."

Shang Jianyao slapped his right fist with his left palm and said:

"We forgot that we still have a question for Esther!"

After being reminded by him, Jiang Baimian suddenly remembered that Esther was involved in another matter:

Part of the goods that Smith's "Rootless" team sent to the ice and snow ruins came from Esther!

That is to say, even if he is not the owner of the suspected collaborator of the Eighth Research Institute, he should have met that person or learned some clues.

The latter two cases are more likely. After all, Esther only provided a part of the materials, and it was simply found by Gitis, which is inconsistent with the carefulness of large-scale memory deletion.

Jiang Baimian immediately turned around and said to Sandro on the other side:

"Please take us up to see Mr. Esther again. We forgot a crucial issue just now, which directly affects whether Mr. Esther's regret can be made up."

She deliberately exaggerated the last half of the sentence, forcibly contacted her, so as not to be rejected by Sandro, and she had to pay extra.

In fact, if I really want to get into it, there is nothing wrong with what she said:

That batch of goods involved the Eighth Research Institute, and Konimis was guarded by the Eighth Research Institute. Can you investigate the former?

It will indeed affect the exploration of the "Old Key Group" in Konimis, and the exploration of the "Old Key Group" in Konimis is undoubtedly directly related to whether Esther's regret can be made up.

The reason why Jiang Baimian forgot to ask about the goods just now was because he fell into deep thought about the term "son of the old age".

Because it was Jiang Baimian who was talking, not a businessman, Sandro thought for a few seconds and said:

"Okay."

He was always on guard against the influence of Shang Jianyao's words.

Turning around, Sandro led Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao back to the fourth floor. .

He didn't go directly to Esther's room, he stayed at the last guard point, told the story, and asked his colleagues to report to the boss instead of him.

The guard took a few steps to the outside of the tanning house and tapped three times with his fingers bent.

No one responded.

He knocked three more times.

Still no response.

dong dong dong!

He knocked three more times, adding some force.

Finally, Aster's slightly low and tired voice came from inside the sunbathing room:

"What's up?"

Hearing Esther's response, Shang Jianyao breathed a sigh of relief, and said to himself happily:

"It's okay, nothing happened.

"I thought it was a coincidence that the key witnesses died violently on the spot and were silenced."

This remark attracted the glances of Sandro and several guards, some even with a little anger.

If you can't speak, don't say Jiang Baimian mumbled.

Frankly speaking, she was a little worried about it just now.

Similar situations often occur in the old world entertainment materials - the protagonist team finally found clues and locked the key witnesses. As a result, it was a mistake, one step late, and the key witnesses were silenced by the murderer.

When the guard who knocked on the door repeated Sandro's words, Esther was silent for a while:

"Let them in."

The exhaustion in his tone made Jiang Baimian feel that he was disturbing the patient.

In the sunbathing room, Esther seemed to have adjusted his posture. Currently, he was only leaning slightly against the back of the reclining chair, with a quilt covering his lower body.

He looked at Jiang Baimian and said:

"It's the same as just now, you come and ask."

Jiang Baimian asked politely:

"Mr. Astor, have you provided Smith's 'Farstrider Merchant Group' with a shipment recently?"

Esther showed an expression of sudden realization:

"The cargo that mysteriously disappeared in the icefield?"

"Yes." Jiang Baimian nodded, and Shang Jianyao did the same.

Esther smiled slightly:

"I did provide some supplies to the Farstriders, but it was only a small part of that shipment."

"What kind of supplies, who bought them, and who asked you to hand them over to the 'far traveler' business group?" Jiang Baimian asked in one breath.

She deliberately showed that the "Old Tune Team" never suspected that Esther was the real owner of the cargo, lest Esther be the real owner, but instead aroused the other party's vigilance, and maybe there was an accident on the spot.

In short, get a certain answer first, then analyze the true and false, and finally consider whether to attack and make friends forcibly.

Esther smiled and asked:

"Why should I answer your questions?

"What kind of remuneration can you offer this time?"

He emphasized the pay, saying it wasn't about the money.

"What do you want?" Jiang Baimian didn't know much about Esther, so he couldn't analyze the weakness of the opponent's humanity.

If Esther had to tell the "old tune group" herself, she planned to start with some medical medicines and biological preparations invented by "Pangu Creatures". Yao's father's team also exchanged information for similar items.

Although the "White Knights" are also very strong in the corresponding field, Astor has money and a certain status, it is not difficult to get some medicines,

However, the "Pangu creatures" still have their own characteristics, and sometimes, foreign monks are more able to recite sutras.

Of course, this will lead to the exposure of the identity of the "old tone group" to a certain extent.

Esther seemed to have fallen into his own thoughts, and his eyes were a little out of focus.

After a while, he said seriously:

"My request is that after you get the information you want on these two matters, leave Gustburg immediately, don't stay for one more second, and don't mix anything.

"Of course, it would have been better if you had left Gustburg and gone to Konimeth."

This request... He can't possibly know that where our group goes, it will lead to a lot of things and cause quite a storm. He wants to send us gifts out of the country as soon as possible for safety, right? Jiang Baimian felt a little weird, but agreed indifferently:

"no problem."

The "old tune group" came to Gustburg to investigate the situation of Shang Jianyao's father's team and the hidden personnel of the Eighth Research Institute!

Before Aster could speak, Jiang Baimian added:

"But in the process of our investigation of these two things, if someone provokes us and something comes to us, we can't sacrifice ourselves, just run away."

What she means by this is that we will concentrate on our own investigation, not mind our own business, and leave as soon as the task is completed. Other than that, there is no guarantee.

Esther was silent for a while, then nodded and said:

"Can.

"I believe in your commitment. At least so far, you have acted as trustworthy, and the corresponding information has nothing to do with me. Telling you will not affect anything."

He turned and said:

"Smith should have told you that in the case of the disappearance of the goods, the relevant personnel have lost their memory. There are awakened ones among you, and you must know what this means.

"I'm not an exception, and that part of my memory has also been wiped out."

Having said that, Esther showed a slight smile:

"However, this does not contradict the fact that I still know the relevant details."

This is to find a way to avoid the effect of "deleting the memory", or to say that it was indeed deleted at the time, but then that part of the memory was restored by some means? Jiang Baimian tried to understand the hidden meaning of Esther's words.

She felt that if Shang Jianyao could speak, he would definitely ask "why" at this time, but the other party would undoubtedly not answer.

Esther continued:

"What I have provided to the Farstrider Merchant is some rare metals.

"It was Moore who paid the money and commissioned me to do this."

"Mor? That intelligence businessman?" Jiang Baimian often recites these names recently.

"Aster nodded:

"right.

"As for where he got the money and why he bought such a batch of goods, I don't know the answer, and I don't want to know. I'm just a businessman. After getting the right offer and receiving enough payment, I will provide the goods."

"Understood." Jiang Baimian gently took the lead.

As far as Esther's answer is concerned~www.readwn.com~ she has not found any signs of lying.

However, she has always been a little careful and won't believe it so easily, but she also doesn't plan to get Esther's "friendship" now, so that he will have no reservations, after all, the other party is obviously wary of Shang Jianyao's "thinking" implant".

Moreover, Esther is mysterious, and he should have some trump cards. If he really wants to "make friends" forcibly, it's hard to say what the final outcome will be.

Being cautious, Jiang Baimian planned to "visit the intelligence businessman Moore first, and then decide whether to return to Esther based on his feedback.

At that time, it should be secretly sneaking in and controlling it unexpectedly.

After saying goodbye to Esther for the second time, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao returned to their jeep under Sandro's surveillance, and Bai Chen drove the car out of the parking lot.

"Children of Zhi Sui?" After listening to the team leader's remarks, Long Yuehong frowned and repeated the term.

Shang Jianyao suddenly laughed:

"What's so strange about that?

"Some of the age-old people have incarnated bodies, and it is normal for multiple human sons."

"It seems that the son of the old age really sheltered Konimis, so that the place did not suffer a devastating blow when the old world was destroyed..." Long Yuehong felt that the logic was relatively smooth.

Shang Jianyao glanced at him:

"Zhuang Sheng's hometown Linhe Village and Taicheng and Dajiang City where he studied were also destroyed?

"He is a genuine Zhi Sui, not some kind of Zhi Sui's son."
