Vol 2 Chapter 50: "Introspection"

Latest website: Long Yuehong and Bai Chen hid the grey off-road into the woods beside the road on one of the only roads to the Zhao family manor.
Seeing the army green jeep approaching, they breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Shang Jianyao pressed down the car window and waved to the two companions:
"Finish!"
"Where are the people who catch the'anti-intellectualism'?" Bai Chen asked not too surprised.
She and Long Yuehong both heard explosions from a manor on the Taiwei River, but it was not in the same direction as Zhao's Manor.
Shang Jianyao pretended to sigh:
"We didn't win, and they didn't lose."
It turned out to be a tie...Long Yuehong subconsciously flashed such a thought.
But after careful consideration, he discovered that Shang Jianyao really meant another one.
"Has the'anti-intellectualism' succeeded?" Long Yuehong asked as he walked to the stopped Jeep.
Jiang Baimian pushed the door and got out of the car, nodding slightly:
"In a sense it is so."
Seeing Bai Chen and Long Yuehong getting closer, she suddenly stretched out her right hand and made a "stop" motion.
Jiang Baimian immediately smiled and said:
"We later encountered a true ‘priest’. If that ability is very rare, it should be him.
"So, Shang Jianyao and I extracted information from Lao Ge on the way, compared our memories, and confirmed that nothing had been tampered with.
"For the sake of safety, you can also compare it."
Bai Chen and Long Yuehong also store their key memories in Gnawa in case of emergency.
Bai Chen had no objection. He took out a portable computer from his tactical backpack and connected it to Gnawa with a data cable.
Jiang Baimian threw his own set to Long Yuehong, so that he and Bai Chen could proceed simultaneously, anyway, there were still a lot of Genawat interfaces.
After downloading the backup memory back, Long Yuehong used the password to complete the decompression, and slowly browsed the content.
"Shang Jian Yao is a classmate and friend who grew up together. Although he always likes to laugh at me and irritate me, making people want to beat him up, he still has a good heart. Most of the jokes are made with kindness... …" Long Yuehong's expression suddenly became strange after scanning this memory.
His face gradually twisted, showing a gloomy temperament.
"No, that's not right..." Long Yuehong said with difficulty, as if he was fighting someone, "He is obviously a nasty who never considers other people's mood and face. I can't wait to kill him..."
Speaking of the back, he finally figured out which one to use, bent down, put his hands on his knees, and gasped:
"I, I've been'hypnotized', called, or tampered with the details of some memories!"
On Bai Chen's side, his expression gradually became gloomy, looking at Jiang Baimian, and slowly said:
"I, why would I be jealous of you, jealous of you high, jealous of your beauty, jealous of your strong ability, jealous of your good at taking care of the emotions of different people, and getting along well with everyone...
"I obviously, it should be..."
"What is it?" Shang Jianyao asked curiously.
As soon as his voice fell, he was pulled by Jiang Baimian, indicating not to ask indiscriminately.
Bai Chen did not answer Shang Jian Yao, his expression slowly returned to normal, but his speech was still not fast enough:
"Some emotions in my memory have been tampered with."
"And neither you nor Xiaohong noticed it?" Jiang Baimian asked sternly.
Bai Chen recalled:
"We are here waiting to meet you, and we can see vehicles passing by from time to time...
"Later, a hunter chased a rabbit from the other side of the forest to our neighborhood...
"He didn't talk to us, and didn't get too close. The distance was about ten meters, or a little farther...
"Long Yuehong and I are both guarding him, I don't remember whether we looked at each other..."
Jiang Baimian asked bluntly:
"Do you remember what he looked like?"
Long Yuehong and Bai Chen recalled carefully for more than ten seconds, and both said with a little panic, but with varying degrees:
"Can not remember!"
"His appearance is vague."
Jiang Baimian nodded gently and said:
"It seems that the true ‘priest’ made the shot himself. If he is a little stronger than ‘Wild Grass City’, that distance should be able to use ‘hypnosis’, or ‘memory tampering’ that we do not know the scope of influence.
In the case of Yecaocheng's dealing with Xu Liyan, the true "priest" exposed the problem that "hypnosis" must be close. The mechanical monk's Jingnian analysis came to a rough conclusion of four to six meters.
Without waiting for Bai Chen and Long Yuehong to respond, Jiang Baimian showed a pensive expression:
"I think it is more likely to be'hypnosis','memory tampering' is obviously stronger, and the restriction should be greater, and it will not have an effect as simple as that.
"Your memory of the distance at that time may have a certain error."
Upon hearing this, Long Yuehong said with joy:
"Fortunately, we have made corresponding preparations, otherwise it will be troublesome."
Shang Jian Yao looked around and made a hush gesture:
"Don't say, the true ‘priest’ may still be nearby."
While Long Yuehong was shocked, Jiang Baimian scolded Shang Jianyao:
"Don't scare Xiaohong, be careful someday he really shoots you in the back!
"Look, don't those things you did in the past have been taken advantage of?"
Seeing that Yao didn't think he was disgusted, Shang said with a smile:
"Really'priest' seems to hate us very much."
"Maybe just by the way." Long Yuehong retorted subconsciously.
Then he saw Gnawa shook his head.
"No." Jiang Baimian said immediately, "He is indeed targeting us. I suspect that he has been around the Iron Medal Street. He has observed it secretly and knows that we have split up. One team goes to the manor and the other responds. Otherwise, It is impossible for him to proceed in such an orderly manner.
"He first took an opportunity to'hypnotize' you and tampered with a part of the memory. Then, with the help of us to come and meet, he ambushed on the side of the road in advance and tried to deal with us in the best way.
"If this succeeds, we might have died at that time, or became his'servants' and helped him do things. Fortunately, we have the old style and don't eat him at all.
"In his plan, attacking us is not necessarily certain, so'hypnotize' you in advance and let you become his backs.
"Think about it, if we have survived the attack and feel that nothing is going to happen, and become paralyzed, on the way back and after we get along, Shang Jianyao and I inadvertently acted like one or two words or two. It can make you kill intent.
"The hardest thing to guard against is not only yourself, but also your companions."
Bai Chen nodded slightly and said:
"Fight against an enemy like Zhen's ‘Priest’. I’m not afraid that he will come with great fanfare, but I’m worried that I don’t know when I will pass him by, and I will unknowingly follow his way."
"If he dares to come with a big fanfare, I can beat him down five times!" Shang Jianyao said loudly, as if stimulating the true "priest" who might still be hidden in the surrounding area--anyway, not in his sensing range.
Then, his voice returned to normal:
"Old Ge can beat him down fifty times."

hypnosis
or
memory tampering

Jiang Baimian smiled and sighed:
"The true ‘priest’ probably knew that we broke his good deeds in Yecao City, and after discovering that we were involved in the Zhao Family Manor, he took advantage of the situation and buried a hole for us."
"Yes." Long Yuehong had lingering fears about this.
After experiencing all kinds of things in Weed City, Redstone Set and Tarnan, and having obtained multiple exoskeleton devices and the intelligent companion of Gnawa, he originally thought that the "old tune group" could walk sideways in most parts of the dust. As long as they don’t provoke the regular army and provoke the core forces of the major sects, the problem is not big, like bandit groups and gangs, there is no big threat at all.
But now, it seems that it is only the true "priest" who almost caused the "old tune group" to suffer annihilation.
"I can't just leave it like that." Shang Jian Yao was not depressed and expressed his determination.
"Yeah." Jiang Baimian thought for a while, looked at Long Yuehong and Bai Chen, "Do you still have problems with your current emotions? Don't be afraid. Frankly speaking, we still have the "Fate Orb". It's time for Shang Jian Yao to go to your spiritual world and do a "cleanup"."
"Okay, okay." Shang Jianyao looked at Long Yuehong with bright eyes.
Long Yuehong was a little flustered, and compared the information hurriedly, carefully examining herself.
After a few minutes, he breathed a sigh of relief:
"No problem."
"After knowing what is true and what is false, the effect of'hypnosis' has been completely lifted." Bai Chen also said the results of his examination.
Jiang Baimian nodded and laughed:
"Before leaving the original city, we seem to have to compare our memories frequently, lest we don't know when we become the sword in the hands of the true ‘priest’.
"Hehe, this is the real way of thinking about ourselves three times a day!"
After speaking, she said to Gnawa:
"Old Ge, you stay here and watch the car with Xiaobai and others. Feeding me and I go around in the woods."
"What are you going to do in the woods?" Long Yuehong asked suspiciously.
Jiang Baimian said with a smile:
"Look for clues.
"A person like a true ‘priest’ must be full of superiority. Because he can make others unable to remember his looks, he will probably not pay so much attention to the realm of ordinary people.
"Anyone who walks will leave traces. Since he has passed through the woods, it is very likely that he will leave footprints and other clues."
Having said this, Jiang Baimian summed up with a serious expression:
"The more awakened people feel that they have surpassed ordinary people, the more likely they are to fall into the realm of ordinary people. Their strength is only one aspect~EbookFREE.me~ but not all."
Long Yuehong was stunned for a while, feeling this thought-provoking and ashamed that she just wanted to leave here earlier.
"Team leader, you are so handsome!" Shang Jianyao praised.
Seeing Jiang Baimian looking over, he showed a sunny smile:
"I said it for Xiaohong."
I didn't... Long Yuehong subconsciously wanted to deny it, but felt that she did have similar thoughts at the time, so she chose to default.
Jiang Baimian smiled and greeted Shang Jian Yao with a little triumph:
"Hurry up! Later, we will take turns monitoring the surrounding area to prevent the true ‘priest’ from returning to the carbine."
"He doesn't understand this word." Shang Jianyao explained seriously.
While talking, he had followed Jiang Baimian's side and entered the lush woods.
