The false "priest" with brown hair and brown eyes heard Shang Jianyao's question, his expression of pain became more obvious, and the muscles of his face were twisted and looked quite hideous.
He exhausted all his strength and said:
"Yes, it's the ‘shepherd’, Bouillon, elder."
"Boyong? Is he also between 1.75 and 1.80 meters tall, with heavy dark circles, and he looks very tired?" Shang Jianyao was not surprised at all, and asked in a repeating way.
Obviously, he believes that the elder Bouillon described by the false "priest" is actually the real "priest".
This poor creature under control has never seen the real "herder" Bouillon.
The distorted face of the fake "priest" showed unconcealed horror:
"Yes, why do you know... why is this..."
His whole person quickly became hysterical, and seemed to have reached the point of close to a complete collapse.
Upon seeing Yao, Shang said with a smile:
"You have to thank me."
He immediately took a step forward, raised his right hand, and accurately hit the position behind the ear of the fake "priest".
The false "priest" fainted and got rid of the indescribable pain.
Shang Jianyao quickly dragged him to the alley where there was no one, and took out the turquoise night pearl in his pocket.
…………
In the shimmering "Sea of Origin", Shang Jianyao, divided into nine, mobilized all the memories of the false "priest" with the power of the "Fate Orb".
They work together in a division of labor, looking for the clearest recent scenes from the frozen waves, and constantly looking back, hoping to discover the true "priest" figure.
It didn't take long for Shang Jian Yao to find a relevant memory:
The fake "priest" named Sandel received a letter from Bouillon the day before yesterday. After confirming that it was true by means of contrast codes, he began to plan how to obtain surveillance video from the "wolf den".
Following this memory, Shang Jianyao discovered that the so-called "herder" Bouillon mainly relied on sending letters to give orders to Sandor, and the person sending the letter and the address on the letter were different each time. The tool of "hypnosis", the latter looks fake.
He also called Sandel occasionally, and also met the fake "priest" three times.
In the memory of these three meetings, the image of "Buyong" is very vague, has no obvious features, and lacks enough moving scenes. Shang Jianyao can only distinguish his height as if he is different from Jiang Baimian, with heavier faces on his face. Dark circles under the eyes reveal unconcealable fatigue.
In other words, the previous point is that the height of the man suspected to be the true "priest" is indeed between 1.75 and 1.80 meters.
Sandel reports the situation by sending a telegram at the agreed time, but the opposite party only receives but does not return the call, and is in a silent state, unable to use technical means to locate the location of the signal source.
Shang Jian Yao quickly looked back and found the scene where Sandel "becomes" a "priest" in the first place.
Obviously, there are traces of tampering.
However, Shang Jianyao, who only uses tools, can hardly mobilize the lowest and most subconscious memories, and cannot repair it.
In order to save the energy in the "Fate Orb", Shang Jianyao quickly ended the inspection and returned to the real world.
After putting away the turquoise night pearl, he looked around and saw that no one was approaching, so he picked up the walkie-talkie and briefly reported the harvest.
After listening, Jiang Baimian exhaled slowly:
"Get the fake ‘priest’ back to his room and wait for me to come."
She immediately put away the "Orange" rifle she had obtained from the "Blackshirts" and gave orders to Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Genawah:
"Continue to stay where you are, and observe whether there is a man with a height of 1.75 to 1.80 meters in the surrounding houses, with a tired look and heavier dark circles coming out."
She suspects that the real "priest" may be monitoring all this nearby, and if something goes wrong with the fake "priest", the contact will be immediately cut off.
Just now, the sound of the "fire truck" honking in the fake "priest" room and the shouting of Shang Jian Yao were faintly audible in the surrounding neighborhoods.
Of course, Jiang Baimian felt that in the style of a true "priest", he would not be able to personally monitor it. It was more likely to be "hypnotized" two or three ordinary people, let them take turns to pay attention, and immediately send a telegram if there is any change.
After all, there is more than one false "priest", and the true "priest" is lacking in skills and can only use less efficient but safer and more concealed methods.
Based on this speculation, Jiang Baimian specifically addressed Genawat:
"Old grid, you monitor the radio signal of this band..."
Although this is probably too late, it is better to do than not to do it.
While Jiang Baimian gave orders to the rest of the "Old Tune Team", Shang Jian Yao had helped up the fake "priest" and brought him back to the original apartment room just like helping a sick companion.
After closing the door, Shang Jian Yao ended the looping of music by forcibly shutting it down.
Soon, Jiang Baimian rushed over and entered the room.
She and Shang Jianyao searched the place carefully, only to find some "anti-intelligence" propaganda materials with misspellings.
"He is obviously not illiterate, he can even use a computer, why he misspelled the word..." Jiang Baimian whispered.
"If all the words are correct and the grammar is correct, what would he use to win the trust of those believers?" Shang Jianyao felt that there was no problem.
Jiang Baimian looked at the fake "priest" Sandel who was unconscious on the bed, and said carefully:
"I used the program compiled by Lao Ge to restore the computer to normal. Take a look at what clues there are. You wake him up and make friends."
"Okay." Shang Jian Yao's mouth turned up, and he walked to the bed.
When Jiang Baimian rescued the portable computer from the virus infection, Shang Jian Yao had already chatted with the awakened Sandel.
He eloquently proved that the other party was a fake "priest" and a puppet of the true "priest" with facts, which aroused Sandel's hatred.
In this part, he didn't even use his ability.
"Although I'm not sure if the true'priest' has noticed a problem on your side, we can pretend that there is no problem." Jiang Baimian turned the chair and looked at Sandel.
She organized the language and gave her plan:
"You'll pretend to run away in embarrassment, move to another place, and then telegraph the real'priest' at the appointed time, saying that we were eyeing, almost caught, and finally escaped. "
"Good!" Sandel replied very forcefully.
He thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said:
"He played with my spirit for a long time, and I lived for so long without revenge!
"But after killing the'priest', I will leave here and quietly withdraw from the'anti-intellectual religion'."
He has a deep taboo against the "anti-intellectual" elders.
There are a full eight of such powerhouses-the "anti-intellectualism" real power organization is the "Eight Conference", and the pope above is said to have gone to the New World to serve the "last man" of the old age.
"This is your freedom." Jiang Baimian nodded.
As for whether it was time to discuss whether Yao would have done so many bad things and arrest Sandel again, that was another matter.
Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao asked about "anti-intellectual education" again, and they failed to obtain new gains beyond their previous cognition.
Because it is not suitable to "stay" here for a long time, they watched Sandel "escape" hurriedly and staggeringly.
"Goodbye! Goodbye!" Shang Jianyao reluctantly waved his right hand.
Jiang Baimian rolled his eyes and said sternly:
"We also evacuated."
They quickly left the apartment and went to the agreed meeting place.
Then, Bai Chen, Long Yuehong and Genawa reported their situation in turn.
None of them found a man who was suspected of being a true "priest".
Regarding the monitoring of radio signals, Gnawa did not gain anything.
"Receive the team." Jiang Baimian took the walkie-talkie and gave the order.
On the return journey, Crimson Cross-country, Jiang Baimian, the co-pilot, summarized the action.
She sighed:
"Still failed to catch the tail of the true ‘priest’. Sandel’s position can only be regarded as a game of chess, and there is a high probability that it won’t work."
"Really'priest' is really too cunning and too cautious..." Long Yuehong followed with a sigh.
The inside of the car became silent immediately, and everyone seemed a little depressed.
They managed to find useful clues, and after a lot of effort, they still failed to catch the true "priest".
Gnawa can make the right "reaction" to failure, just like it was in Tarnan.
A few seconds later, Shang Jianyao said with confidence and excitement:
"Such opponents are interesting!"
He was not depressed at all, and even added:
"When you catch the true'priest' and hang him up and beat him, you will definitely be very satisfied."
"Yes." Jiang Baimian laughed after listening.
Her emotional state has returned to normal, and at the same time she has more desire to accept challenges.
"Well, as long as the true ‘priest’ has to do something and act, it will always be exposed." Bai Chen also sighed.
After thinking about it, Jiang Baimian said:
"Take your time, don't worry, we will go back and take the left bank manor of the Zhao family first.
"Hehe, maybe the true ‘priest’ is there waiting for us."
The transfer of the ownership of the manor is not so simple in the
prime city
that has a preliminary order. It also needs to go through the process of approval by the administrative department. Therefore, the
old tune team
will have to wait a few days.
At this time, Long Yuehong, who was sitting in the middle of the back row, glanced at Shang Jianyao and said:
"What are you thinking?"
Shang Jian Yao's face was full of "I'm thinking hard~EbookFREE.me~ Hearing Long Yuehong's question, he thought and said:
"I'm thinking, if I'm not doing anything lately, I should go to a place where the true ‘priest’ might haunt, and if I find someone who fits the characteristics, I’ll let Lao Ge go up to ‘talk up’, and drag him to the depths of the alley to communicate..."
"This, isn't this just looking for a needle in a haystack?" Long Yuehong said amusedly.
Shang Jian Yao shook his head:
"No, it's fishing.
"The most important thing for fishing is patience.
"The question now is which places are where the true ‘priest’ might go."
Jiang Baimian opened his mouth and closed it again, showing a pensive expression.
