Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 145 Last Person
Although it can be imagined from the content of the flyer that the name of the religion may be absurd and may contain typos, Jiang Baiman did not expect that they would be so naked and put on the banner of “anti-intellectual”, giving people a kind of them. Self-proclaimed mentally retarded and complacent.

“Why is it called this name?” Jiang Baiman suppressed his smile and asked quite seriously.

Shang Jianyao answered before Odick:

“If everyone’s IQ is lowered, they will become smarter.”

Odick glanced at this talk nonsense guy and couldn’t figure out whether he was cracking a joke or was more suitable to join the “anti-intellectual education”.

Breathing out slowly, Odick briefly explained:

“As many people think, anti-intellectualism also believes that the destruction of the old world is because people at that time did research in various Taboo Domains, which brought about the disaster.

“However, they further think that humans are too smart and have too many things. If people in the old world don’t think very much, don’t increase their wisdom, don’t read books, and don’t learn knowledge, they will simply appear impossible Exploring the Taboo Domain will not lead to the end.

“They also believe that the emergence of’unintentional disease’ and the existence of’unintentional people’ are not only disasters, but also the enlightenment given by the old people: as long as human beings regress to the level of wisdom of the’unintentional people’, then New World Will come and open its doors.

“Therefore, anti-intellectual education propagating thinking is a trap, and knowledge is a poison. I hope that all books can be burned, and all places that provide education can be eradicated, so that people can only live by instinct and the experience taught by parents.

“As for things like exploring the future, just follow the guidance of the old age and listen to the commands of a small number of selected people.

“For them, thinking is a sin.”

Hearing this, Shang Jianyao nodded, be eager to have a try to make a judgment:

“Then they must all cheat very well.”

“On the earth, everyone has too much to worry about. It may be a happy thing to give up thinking.” Jiang Baiman said in an ironic and sighing tone.

At the end, she asked again:
“Which one is the old man who is against the belief in intellectual education?”

Odick pondered for a while and said:

“The’last person’, the’last person’ in charge of March.”

“The last man… I remember that there was this term in the philosophical works of the old world, which refers to a humble, obscure, mediocre, and servile person.” Jiang Baiman thought. (Note 1)

Odick was a little surprised at once, glanced at Jiang Baiman, but did not speak.

He didn’t know the meaning of “last man”. Before today, he still felt that this was full of mystery, and he was worthy of a title of persistent age.

After a few seconds of silence, Odick looked around and said:

“It’s almost there, I hope there will be opportunities to exchange information later.”

Jiang Baiman came back to his senses, and asked with a smile:

“Why do you allow us to ask so many questions?
“We only gave a clue.”

“The value of your clue is above the information I provided.” Odick said frankly.

Jiang Baiman nodded lightly and didn’t ask any more questions.

At this time, Shang Jianyao suddenly opened the mouth and said:

“Who is the earth race among your parents?”

This question makes Odick a little confused, and I don’t understand how it turned to this direction.

However, this is not something that needs to be kept secret, he replied casually:
“My father.”

“What’s his last name?” Shang Jianyao was excited.

Odick has become more and more confused about what the other party wants to do, so he took a step back, said solemnly:

“Europe.”

He has always been wary of this abnormal situation, because he has encountered a lot of awakened, and understands that sometimes the danger is hidden in ordinary words.

“pu…” Jiang Baiman laughed out, “So your name…”

His surname is O, and his name is Dick, and this connection has the feeling of Honghe language.

“Sure enough, this is the case.” Shang Jianyao shook his right fist and pressed his left palm, putting on an expression that I guessed right.

“…” Odick swept back and forth between Jiang Baiman and Shang Jianyao several times with a mentally ill look. In the end, without saying anything, he turned and walked back to the lobby of the Hunter Guild.

Jiang Baiman watched him leave without asking sideways:

“You didn’t even find him to make friends.”

“He answered too much.” Shang Jianyao sighed.

“en.” Jiang Baiman nodded said, “In terms of ability to use, there is still a bottom line. You and Commander Lin will’make friends’ and will not listen to his privacy. The main reason is to make cooperation more convenient. Ensure your own safety, so there is no problem, and Odick has said everything that Odick can say, “making friends” will only figure out whether he is awakened, what are the three abilities, and what the cost is, before he did not show In case of hostility, forget it and try not to harm the innocent.”

She took the opportunity to teach Shang Jianyao and help him establish the correct three views.

This is the responsibility of the team leader.

Shang Jianyao returned three words:

“Wang Beicheng.”

“…” Jiang Baiman first fly into a rage out of humiliation, then woke up, “I just assumed it verbally, and never really beat him!”

Shang Jianyao glanced at Jiang Baiman’s raised left hand, and cast his gaze to Wild Wolf Lane:

“I don’t know when those bars will open?”

“Do you want to check from house to house to confirm Lin Feifei’s whereabouts? By the way, do a dance at every house?” Jiang Baiman asked keenly.

Shang Jianyao looked shocked:
“Can you dance in a bar?”

“Don’t pretend, you didn’t hear the music last night.” Jiang Baiman ruthlessly debunked Shang Jianyao’s disguise.

Although the company’s basic education does not mention what the bar can do other than drinking, at night, the sound of music on West Street will not completely subside until two or three in the morning, and anyone with a brain will make a certain Lenovo.

Without waiting for Shang Jianyao to say it again, Jiang Baiman let out a “um”:
“This matter has to be let Xiaobai go. She is familiar with the underground trading market here and knows who to ask.”

“en. “Shang Jianyao is very sorry, but I also recognize that the most suitable candidate for this matter is Bai Chen.

“Let’s go, there is no need to wait in the guild, will there be new clues for a while.” Jiang Baiman took the lead in walking to the central square, preparing to conduct a “Weed City Folklore Survey.”

This is her homework assigned to herself.

While walking, Jiang Baiman suddenly said with a smile:
“Our team, except you, have colors in their names, big white, little white and little red, but you are not gregarious.”

“I am the color of the sun.” Shang Jianyao answered immediately.

Jiang Baiman said with a “um”:
“Yes, too, Yao means sunshine…”

…………

In the evening, Bai Chen, wearing a gray scarf, led Long Yuehong into Wild Wolf Lane.

Compared with the morning, this place is already very lively, with music coming from everywhere, intertwined into a dynamic melody.

Many relic hunters who lack care are born to death. There is today and no tomorrow. Once there is a little extra money and supplies, it is inevitable that they will come over and indulge.

Whether alcohol or the warm embrace of women and men can make them temporarily forget the cruelty of life, without thinking about what tasks they will take on tomorrow, where to take risks, or whether they can live.

In Weed City, where the Hunter Guild is extremely powerful, this has also brought about the abnormal prosperity of the local bar and nightclub industry.

When many homeless settlements on the earth don’t have enough food, they can squeeze out a portion of the grain and fruit to make wine.

At the same time, the municipal department of Yecao City also gave the green light very cooperatively, marking this street out of the living area, even in winter, there is no need for power outages.

With the flashing lights, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong entered a nightclub called “Today”, bypassed the dance floor that was frantically twisted by many people, and came to the front of the bar.

Bai Chen raised his finger, tapped on the bar seven times, and said in his usual tone:

“Two cups of Jin Olei.”

This is a distilled wine. The reason it is called Jin Olei is because it is very popular in First City and is as popular as the paper currency “Olei”.

The bartender wiping the glass lifts the head and looked at Bai Chen’s eyes:

“I have a better recommendation.”

“What is it?” Bai Chen asked cooperatively.

The bartender laughed:

“Wheat Ears.

“You can go and taste it later.”

He pointed to the wooden door that seemed to lead to the kitchen on the other side of the bar.

“Okay.” Bai Chen turned around.

At this time, the bartender also knocked on the surface of the bar, a total of eight strokes, four long and three short, appeared alternately.

Bai Chen didn’t look back, knowing that it was the bartender who was telling her: the agreed secret code has changed, and I will use this next time.

After pushing open the door of the suspected kitchen, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong saw two black clothed robust men with submachine guns through the room full of debris and a narrow corridor.

After correcting the signal again, they were put in and went underground along the stairs.

There is a large hall here with tables, chairs and benches. Dozens of people sit in different places, under the shining of fluorescent lamps, chatting and laughing with their friends.

This looks like a place for private gatherings, not the so-called underground trading market, which is completely different from what Long Yuehong had expected.

Bai Chen cast his gaze over, looking for someone who is suitable to ask if he has seen Lin Feifei in the bar area.

Suddenly, her eyes froze.

On a dark red couch, a man stood up.

He is ordinary in height, 1.7 meters tall, but with strong arms and strong body, he is very powerful at first glance.

In the cold winter, the man only wore a short-sleeved black cotton T-shirt and a pair of brightly colored loose shorts, lacking sufficient awe of the temperature.

He shaved his head, tattooed with the azure black wolf-shaped symbol representing First City, his face is full of flesh, and he belongs to a person who can scare a child by doing nothing.

There are two bodyguard-like black clothed men behind him. Their waists are bulging, and they hide weapons at first sight.

It is not so obvious that a man of a specific age walks towards Bai Chen step by step, showing a joking smile:
“You really escaped?

“Do you really dare to come back here?”

His eyes were cold, without the slightest smile.

Bai Chen’s body shuddered slightly, but he lost the usual calm and calmness.

Long Yuehong witnessed such a scene, although he was a little scared in his heart, but he felt that he could not just watch it.

The team leader said that we must protect each other…Long Yuehong clenched the teeth, stepped forward, and blocked Bai Chen.

His body was also trembling slightly invisible, but he still looked at the bald-headed male and did not flinch.

Uh…Actually, I am not too short…Looking at the height of the opponent, he suddenly flashed such a recognition.
