Embers Ad Infinitum

With the counterexample before, Long Yuehong couldn't think of any reason to argue, so he could only shut his mouth and stop discussing this issue.

​​

It can't be that when the old world was destroyed, all the places where "Zhuang Sheng" incarnated and lived were targeted, right? 19

​​

At this time, Bai Chen, who was driving, asked:

​​

"Are you going to find the intelligence dealer Moore now? 0

​​

"It's almost noon, do you want to have a good meal first and then go in the afternoon?" 1

​​

"No, go now!" Shang Jianyao answered first. 3

​​

He explained quite excitedly:

​​

"What if More was silenced because of the delay in eating? 9

​​

"There are so many things like this in the old world entertainment material, we can't make similar mistakes."

​​

As he spoke, he became earnest and earnest.

​​

Uh... Long Yuehong was stunned when she heard it.

​​

But he had to admit that what Shang Jianyao said had some truth. 2

​​

Such a situation is indeed inevitable. .

​​

Jiang Baimian gave a "hmm":

​​

"It's only after eleven o'clock anyway, so it won't take much time to ask for information. Let's go to Moore first." 1

​​

If you want to seize the tail of a secret organization like the Eighth Research Institute, you must guard against the slightest and do not give them a chance to react! 4

​​

Gittes had given Mohr and others relevant information before, and the "Old Tune Team" didn't need to ask any more. 1

​​

The buildings here seem to be unplanned, arranged in a messy manner, some are very close, some are far away, separating one after another alleys leading to nowhere.

​​

The outer wall of the apartment where More lived was gray and black, giving a thick and silly feeling as a whole, in sharp contrast to the luxury and splendor of Astor's house. 2

​​

——Gesterburg is close to the ice field, and most of the buildings here are primarily concerned with indoor warmth, so this architectural style is created.

​​

Of course, the houses with similar styles are mainly houses built after the destruction of the old world. Those belonging to the old world are not like this, because the climate did not change drastically at that time, the ice sheet had not yet expanded, and the weather in Gustburg was not as warm as the south. , but not too cold. 2

​​

"Moll lives on the top floor of this building." Bai Chen parked the jeep and looked up at the apartment.

​​

Jiang Baimian observed it carefully for a while, then suddenly smiled:

​​

"The two intelligence businessmen in Gustburg are a bit weird. Needless to say, Gittes, Moore's choice also reveals certain contradictions."0

​​

"What choice?" Long Yuehong asked in confusion.

​​

Jiang Baimian glanced left and right:

​​

"The streets and alleys here are just like spider webs. They are quite complicated, but the people who live here are basically the workers of those factories and their families. The ingredients are very simple. 0

​​

"That is to say, as soon as a relic hunter like us enters this block, it is like a few lions coming to the middle of the sheep. It is very conspicuous, and it can't hide it. You can monitor whether there are outsiders and what it looks like. 0

​​

"Then, he can make a judgment in advance based on this, and see whether to leave the place of residence immediately and hide in a spare safe house, or make sufficient preparations and wait for the business to come. 0

​​

"This is the basic quality of an intelligence businessman." 0

​​

Long Yuehong suddenly realized:

​​

"The paradox is that he chose to live on the top floor, which is the most inconvenient to transfer and evacuate?"3

​​

"Yes." Jiang Baimian nodded lightly.

​​

At the same time, Shang Jianyao laughed: 1

​​

"Wouldn't it be more convenient if his safe house was in the same building?

​​

"Moreover, the top floor is convenient for him to observe the situation of this block in person.

​​

"Or he has a military exoskeleton device, which can easily and quickly go down from the sixth floor to the ground floor with the help of the bulge on the outer wall."2

​​

The more he said it, the more outrageous it became. 2

​​

"According to Jitis, Moore is old and has no mood. Such a person will not put a safe house near his home, because he will be afraid that the enemy will search the surrounding houses." Jiang Baimian said simply, "Yes There is a possibility that it is dark under the lights, and the enemy can easily mistakenly think that he is not at home, but does Moore dare to bet? Maybe he dared when he was young, but now..."1

​​

Speaking of which, Jiang Baimian changed his words:

​​

"But if he really has a certain relationship with the Eighth Research Institute, we do have to beware of military exoskeleton devices or other unexpected existences. 3

​​

"Lao Ge, this time you go up with us, Xiaohong, Xiaobai, you guys stay in the car." 0

​​

She took advantage of the situation to make arrangements. 1

​​

Then, Shang Jianyao, Jiang Baimian, and Genava followed the address provided by Jitis, along the cold and dark corridor, all the way to the top floor.

​​

dong dong dong!

​​

Shang Jianyao couldn't wait to knock on the door of Moore's house.

​​

A violent cough sounded, and someone from behind the door approached the cat's eye. 1

​​

"Who are you and what are you doing?" A slightly hoarse, phlegm voice asked through the thick wooden door.

"I'm here to ask about the news." Shang Jianyao replied according to Jitis's statement.

​​

After a few seconds, the door creaked open, and someone coughed twice: 1

​

bream

"come in."

​

Shang Jianyao rushed in immediately, followed by Jiang Baimian and Genava, who had been hiding by the side.

​

Moore's hair was already gray, but it could be seen that when he was young, the color of his hair was the usual golden color of Gerstburg.

​

He hunched his back slightly, coughed from time to time, his face was not very good, there were many patches on his skin, and he had a gray feeling.

​

At this time, the room was filled with a smell that had not been cleaned up for a long time, and this was indeed the case. 1

​

With a handful of "United 202" in his hand, Moore walked to the window, turned around, and said to Jiang Baimian and others: 1

​

"What news do you want to inquire about?"

​

His eyes stayed on Genova for the longest time.

​

When Moll retracted his gaze, Genova raised his right hand and made a gesture to Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao to circle his thumb and index finger, and stretch out the other three fingers. 10

​

This gesture means that according to the scan and detection, there are no particularly dangerous objects in the room, including Mohr. 1

​

"We want to inquire about something." Shang Jianyao took a few steps forward, took out a silver knight coin that Jiang Baimian had given him in advance, and flicked it towards Moore. 3

​

When More caught the silver coin, he said with a smile:

​

"This is the deposit."

​

"You are very generous." Moore's vigilance was obviously lowered, and he no longer controlled his cough. 5

​

Shang Jianyao immediately responded:

​

"Yes.

​

"Now that you have received our money, you agree with the establishment of the transaction, and you are a reputable person, and you will definitely not fail to answer our questions or deceive us with false news."4

​

He directly used "mind implantation".

​

The investigation has reached this level, and there are already quite a few people who are likely to touch the Eighth Research Institute, and the "old tune group" does not dare to be careless.

​

Moore's eyes were dazed for a moment and he said: 4

​

"What do you want to know?"

​

Shang Jianyao asked with a smile:

​

"Who entrusted you to find Esther to buy a batch of rare metals and hand them over to the 'far traveler' business group?" 1

​

Moore's expression changed, and his face suddenly twisted.

​

His whole person seemed to be in an indescribable struggle, as if there were angels and demons tug-of-war in his mind.

​

The next second, Moore raised his pistol, pointed it at his head, and tried to pull the trigger. 5

​

But because of the change in his expression, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian had already raised their vigilance and tightened their spirits. When they found something wrong, they immediately responded.

​

Snapped!

​

With his left hand, Jiang Baimian threw a grenade that had not ripped off the pull ring, and it smashed into Moore's hand accurately and fiercely, deflecting his muzzle. 5

​

With a bang, the "United 202" fell to the ground.

​

boom!

​

In the distance, a bullet flew unexpectedly, shattered the window glass, and hit Moore on the body. 6

​

Moore's upper body disintegrated instantly, turning into blood clots and spreading all around. 11

​

There were two more gunshots, and Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao evaded in time.

​

When they rolled to a dead end, the gunfire died down.

​

"It's an anti-equipment sniper rifle." Genova made a judgment based on the severity of the damage to the room and Moore's body. 1

​

Jiang Baimian didn't get up immediately, and said in a deep voice:

​

"Approximate location." 0

​

"According to estimates, the enemy is three hundred and ninety-eight meters away~www.readwn.com~ at the top of the seventeen-storey building, and has now left." Genova, who wanted to fight back, failed to do so. 1

​

This is beyond the scope of Shang Jianyao's ability to cover. 1

​

The seventeen-storey building...that's the building of the Gerstburg Mining Association... Jiang Baimian came out of his hiding place, ran to the window, and gave the order: 1

​

"Follow the past!" 1

​

Although the other party has already evacuated after chasing it now, there might still be some clues left over there.

​

Moreover, the anti-equipment sniper rifle is not so convenient to carry, and it is relatively conspicuous. If the "Old Tune Team" can get there in time, maybe they will meet some witnesses. 2

​

Jiang Baimian did not wear a military exoskeleton device, but relying on his super balance and coordination ability, with the help of the protruding window sill, he jumped down layer by layer, and quickly dropped from the top layer to the ground. Wa imitated her, not slow at all, like a flexible ape. 2

​

During this process, Jiang Baimian wanted to understand one thing.

​

That is, Moore should have been implanted in his mind. When he was controlled and tried to tell the information of the Eighth Research Institute, he would commit suicide in various ways. 4

​

Moreover, there is another person hiding in the dark, always monitoring his situation, and killing someone if something goes wrong.
