Squid Who Loves Diving
Chapter 617 Scheme
Fan Wensi's son, in a car accident and became a vegetable;
A traffic accident occurred in Tieshan City where a foreigner hit a pedestrian and turned him into a vegetable;
Montis awakened the ability of the "Bodhi" domain after the destruction of the Old World;
Tieshan City No. 2 Food Company became one of the Buddhist holy sites, and employee Liu Lu was possessed by someone using "Destiny Sight";
Shang Jianyao used Fan Wensi's medical records to trigger a variation in the psychological shadow containing Tieshan City No. 2 Food Company;
The Changhe City United Iron and Steel Plant where Fan Wensi and Li Jinlong's couple were located also became a Buddhist holy site...
This series of information echoed in Long Yuehong's mind, making him feel that the clues he had obtained for so long were completely connected, with no blank spots.
But this brought about contradictions, making many previous speculations of the "Old Task Force" untenable:
If Fan Wensi's son was really hit and turned into a vegetable by Montis, then why would he, who was suspected to be related to the Year Star "Bodhi," still allow Montis to awaken abilities in the relevant field, and enter the "Mind Corridor" all the way, until being suppressed by another Year Star "Yougu"?
Long Yuehong turned his gaze to Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and Bai Chen, and found that they were either contemplative, surprised, or confused, all with obvious reactions.
As for Genaava, except for the red light flashing a few times in his eyes, his face had no expression.
He wouldn't have any expression anyway.
Xu Datong, Li Shouyi, and other members of the "Savior Army" had previously shared Fan Wensi's medical records with the "Old Task Force," and knew that Montis was a powerful Awakened in the "Bodhi" domain. After hearing Genaava's words, they also instantly had enough associations and felt a kind of unspeakable shock.
In addition to the shock, they all fell silent, quickly thinking about what kind of story these pieces of information and these clues could weave, and what horrifying secrets were hidden behind the story.
After a while, Xu Datong took the initiative to speak:
"So many things are intertwined together, there must be some hidden secrets that we don't know yet.
"Alas, it's still a little short, maybe with one more piece of relevant information, we can glimpse a corner of the truth."
The current clues can only show that those people and things are indeed related, and what connects them seems to be Fan Wensi's son who became a vegetable.
But why they can be connected, and what is the essence revealed by these phenomena, currently only remains in various baseless guesses.
"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao, who was used to echoing, once again stole Long Yuehong's lines.
Hearing Xu Datong's words, Jiang Baimian turned her head and looked at the seven-story building where Tieshan City No. 2 Food Company was located, and said thoughtfully:
"It's not impossible to find more relevant information here..."
"You mean?" Xu Datong was experienced and vaguely guessed what Xue Shiyue wanted to say.
Jiang Baimian smiled:
"The special 'Advanced Heartless' that you encountered.
"Many of the special things in the Tieshan City ruins should be related to this Buddhist holy site, and that 'Advanced Heartless' attacked you here.
"So, if we can capture him and figure out the source of that special thing on him, maybe we can find more relevant information, or even the answer to the question."
Xu Datong did not hide his nod, agreeing with Jiang Baimian's statement, while Li Shouyi frowned slightly and said:
"That 'Advanced Heartless' is not so easy to catch, he seems to have the ability of 'Premonition'..."
"Not 'Premonition'." Shang Jianyao interrupted Li Shouyi's words.
This was an impolite Shang Jianyao, because he was too honest.
Jiang Baimian had to help add:
"We suspect that the ability he possesses is 'Divine Ear', and perhaps 'Divine Eye' should be added..."
She briefly explained the basis for her judgment.
Of course, she would definitely not take the initiative to reveal the other types of detection abilities that the "Old Task Force" possessed, and pushed all of these onto Genaava.
Anyway, Genaava does have functions such as radar and infrared monitoring, which can increase the risk of exposure of that "Advanced Heartless."
Those who understand intelligent robots are no strangers to these.
"If it is 'Divine Ear', then our experience at that time also makes sense." Xu Datong pondered for a while and said.
Jiang Baimian nodded and smiled:
"So, we have to plan a capture plan that avoids 'Divine Eye'."
"First of all, we have to be able to find the target." The honest Shang Jianyao never hides his thoughts just because they are on the same side.
No one refuted him, this was indeed a very realistic problem.
Tieshan City used to be a megacity, and the ruins it evolved from are equally huge. To find a prey who is good at hiding and has excellent instincts in this "forest" built of reinforced concrete is bound to be very difficult.
— After Xu Datong and the others were attacked, it wasn't that they didn't want to track him, but that the "Advanced Heartless" didn't leave many traces when he retreated. There was indeed a little bit at the beginning, but later, it was completely gone.
Moreover, the area where the target usually lives should be the nearby mountains. Only in that kind of place can there be enough food to support him and his subordinates.
"If we treat it as hunting, luring the target and setting traps may be the most effective way." Xu Datong recalled his experience in dealing with some "Advanced Heartless."
Although these are a little smarter than ordinary "Heartless" and have higher intelligence, they still cannot get rid of the control of beastly instincts.
Jiang Baimian said in a tone of discussion:
"Then what should we use as bait?
"Food?"
"The target doesn't seem to be too short of food." Li Shouyi, who had fought against the "Advanced Heartless," said.
In the presence of outsiders, Genaava has always played the role of an ordinary robot. At this time, although he analyzed a possibility, he had no way to speak. He had to turn his head to look at Jiang Baimian, trying to give Da Bai a string of Morse code through the frequency of the red light flashing in his eyes.
Carbon-based people rely on tacit understanding, and intelligent people rely on technology.
Jiang Baimian nodded almost imperceptibly to Genaava, and said with deliberation:
"That 'Advanced Heartless' probably tried to attack us because we had all explored here."
"Here" refers to Tieshan City No. 2 Food Company.
"Most of those relic hunters who encountered him in the Tieshan City ruins were not attacked by him, but were only subjected to some kind of influence. Only a very small number, under conditioned reflexes, opened fire on him, and the ending was not very good." Jiang Baimian further explained.
Xu Datong thought for a while and pointed to the food company building next to him:
"Use it as bait?"
Listening to their discussion, Long Yuehong always felt that there was something wrong, and blurted out:
"If that 'Advanced Heartless' is lurking in the surrounding area, wouldn't he have already heard everything we said through 'Divine Ear'?"
In that case, no plan would work!
Jiang Baimian, Xu Datong, and others were silenced by the question, and even Shang Jianyao did not interrupt, just raised his hand and stroked his chin.
After a while, Jiang Baimian sighed and smiled:
"'Divine Ear' is quite difficult to deal with, alas, forget it, let's go to other Buddhist holy sites to find new clues.
"The other three Buddhist holy sites are..."
She shared this information with Xu Datong and others, and then led the other members of the "Old Task Force" into the jeep and drove towards the north of the city ruins.
Xu Datong looked at them for a few seconds, and took Li Shouyi back into the dark-colored vehicle, heading south.
After the jeep drove one or two kilometers, Jiang Baimian in the passenger seat suddenly said:
"Let me drive."
Ah? Team leader, calm down a little... Long Yuehong subconsciously flashed such a thought.
Although he knew that with someone navigating, the team leader would not get lost now, but the speed would be a little slower than normal, but he always felt that it was not a good idea to let a road idiot drive.
At this time, Shang Jianyao in the driving area touched his chin and said with a smile:
"I'll continue."
While speaking, he turned the steering wheel, turning the jeep left and left again.
At the same time, Shang Jianyao raised his finger to the rearview mirror and "shushed."
This is... returning to the No. 2 Food Company? What the team leader said to Xu Datong and the others just now was a trap set for that "Advanced Heartless"! Long Yuehong was stunned at first, and then understood.
He turned his head to look at Bai Chen, and found that she nodded slowly.
In this way, the "Old Task Force's" jeep circled around and came to the seven-story building of Tieshan City No. 2 Food Company again.
It was still quiet here, with no other figures.
Almost at the same time, the dark-colored vehicle of Xu Datong and the others also appeared in the distance.
When they met again, Jiang Baimian, who had already gotten out of the car, looked around and said with regret:
"Unfortunately, he didn't fall for it."
"So you were really bluffing him." Xu Datong showed an admiring expression.
Shang Jianyao asked curiously:
"When did you figure it out?"
Xu Datong smiled:
"I'm so old, I still have some experience.
"At that time, I felt that you gave up too quickly."
He paused and said:
"What to do now?"
Jiang Baimian pondered for a few seconds, turned to look at the seven-story building of the food company:
"Should we try to destroy this place and provoke him to come out?"
She remembered the collapse of Building No. 4 in the family area of the steel plant ruins.
Xu Datong was silent for a while and said:
"You can try."
Jiang Baimian solemnly reminded:
"This is a Buddhist holy site. Ordinary destruction may be fine, but destructive destruction may bring terrible changes."
The younger Li Shouyi frowned again and said to Xu Datong:
"There's no need to do this, it's just an 'Advanced Heartless'. No matter what special things he has, he won't hide too many secrets."
Xu Datong thought for a while and showed a relieved smile:
"Xiao Li, get in the car and retreat with them to two hundred meters away. Leave this to me.
"Since we have seen the hope of finding out the truth, we have to try it anyway.
"Don't say anything more, this is an order!"
"Yes." Li Shouyi raised his right hand and pressed it to his left chest.
Seeing this scene, Shang Jianyao took the initiative to step forward and looked at Xu Datong.
He also put his right hand on his left chest, and then said in a deep voice:
"For all mankind!"
Xu Datong's expression instantly became solemn, and he also put his right hand on his left chest:
"For all mankind!"
In the short and powerful voice, the two walked towards the seven-story building of Tieshan City No. 2 Food Company at the same time.
