Chapter 840 Clues

Bai Chen glanced at Gennava and didn't give him a chance to exhaust his ideas. He tried to speculate on his own:

"Perhaps the headquarters of the ascetic's force is somewhere in the ice field. It is the safest to go back from Gerstberg. Who knows, after he got here, his condition suddenly became serious and he could only stay."

Jiang Baimian's eyes moved slightly and he said:

"Two questions. One is that the ascetic arrived in Gerstburg in March and died in April. In that season, even if ordinary people went to the ice field, they would easily freeze to death, not to mention that he was already not in good health. ? If their headquarters is really in the ice field, I think after he arrived in Gerstburg, in order to protect the Bodhi statue in his hand, he would not be stingy about sending a telegram to the headquarters and asking the senior management to send a motorcade to pick him up. It would take nearly a month. Time passed and nothing like this happened.”

"Maybe the person he met at the steel-making furnace in the factory area was sent by their headquarters. As a result..." Shang Jianyao muttered softly.

It turned out that it was a life-threatening evil spirit that detonated his illness from a long distance away.

The honest Gennava disagreed with Shang Jianyao's statement this time:

"You shouldn't need to go to the factory area in the middle of the night to meet your companions. The ascetic monk usually goes to Gerstburg for alms and doesn't hide it."

"Yes, yes." Long Yuehong agreed.

Jiang Baimian did not dwell on this point and continued:

"Second question, it can be inferred from the data that when the ascetic monk first arrived in Gerstburg, although his body seemed not to be in good condition, it would not be associated with death. In other words, the initial paragraph time, his condition has not worsened and he still has the ability to travel far.

"What, then, was he waiting for in Gerstburg?"

"Waiting for someone from the headquarters to pick him up!" Shang Jianyao answered very simply.

"Maybe he's waiting for summer." Bai Chen said thoughtfully.

"Yes!" Long Yuehong suddenly realized, "He is waiting for summer to come, the climate of the ice field becomes mild, and then he will go somewhere in the ice field."

Why not use Fort Dogster to go to other settlements of other forces? It's because there are better routes that don't have to be tested by bad weather, and there are more than one.

Most likely, it was the spring cold and bad air in Gerstburg that caused the ascetic's condition to worsen.

Jiang Baimian nodded slightly:

"And the most noteworthy place closest to Gerstburg is Cornimis."

Although this was just a bold speculation, it still made Long Yuehong and others feel palpitations.

In this case, Cornynmis may be the source of many problems and many things.

"Also, there are people from the Eighth Research Institute lurking in Gerstburg, with the main purpose of collecting supplies, and the headquarters of the Eighth Research Institute is definitely somewhere on the ice sheet." Jiang Baimian proposed another supplementary method. possibility.

The red light in Gnawa's eye sockets flashed:

"There is also a possibility that the ascetic had an appointment to meet someone in Gerstburg, so he came here in the harsh climate and stayed for a period of time until his condition worsened."

Shang Jianyao suddenly laughed:

"Then, why did that person or that force meet in Gerstburg?"

No one answered him, but a noun flashed through everyone's minds and in the main module at the same time:

"Eighth Research Institute".

Shang Jianyao didn't care about the brief silence and started making up a story with great interest:

"Perhaps, the force that the ascetic belonged to was destroyed by someone because of the Bodhi statue. He took the Buddha treasure and dragged his sick body all the way to Gerstburg, looking for the protection of some people or forces, but in the end he didn't Can wait.

"It's also possible that he betrayed the force he belonged to, stole the Bodhi statue, and tried to go to a certain place to complete something. As a result, he was blocked by the weather in Gerstburg. His condition worsened day by day, and he was finally unable to support himself...

"This would explain why three years later, the person who issued the mission knew that he died in Gerstburg and the Bodhi statue was lost."

Bang bang bang, before anyone else could respond, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands and cheered for himself.

Dangdang, Gnawa is very polite.

Jiang Baimian breathed out slowly:

"Have you read too much old world entertainment materials...

"What you said is more reasonable and less abrupt in the martial arts world and the fairy world."

But I think what you said is decent, and there is a certain possibility... Long Yuehong just muttered, but did not say it out loud.

Jiang Baimian changed the subject:

"However, both scenarios are hypotheses, and there may be some traces of them that can be verified."

"How to verify?" Bai Chen asked slightly surprised.

Jiang Baimian smiled:

"Since the employer knows how to issue a mission in the Hunters Guild and drive the ruin hunters to Gerstburg to find the Bodhi statue, will he or they also announce through the Hunters Guild that they have found any clues about the ascetic? Task?

"Two to three years later, they finally determined that the target died in Gerstburg."

Bai Chen nodded slightly:

"Go to the Hunter Guild to look through the mission records of the previous three years?

"This is all confidential information..."

She did not continue because she remembered that her team had planned to send Gnawa to invade the local guild's system and modify the hunter levels of the four of her new identities.

In this case, checking past task records by the way is just a matter of consuming a little more power.

Moreover, with Gnawa's search level, the four carbon-based people in the "Old Tune Team" combined would be beaten by him. It only takes him a few seconds to complete the screening or traversal, and it doesn't even take a few seconds. arrive.

After some further discussions, the "Old Diao Group" came up with a preliminary plan for investigating the Bodhi statue:

The first is to visit key witnesses, examine the corresponding evidence, and use the ability of the awakened person to determine whether the ascetic really died of illness;

The second is to go to the Hunter's Guild to "check" past mission records - since it can be confirmed that the ascetic died in Gerstburg, then the corresponding tracing commission should be posted in the local guild, and it was posted not long ago, not even more than half a year ago. , otherwise, the publisher of the Bodhi Statue mission would have locked the ascetic's whereabouts long ago.

The third is to use intelligence dealers and randomly selected residents of Gerstburg to learn about any anomalies in the past three years that are different from the past. The "Old Tune Team" believes that the Bodhi statue is so valued, and it should be somewhat mysterious. If it were If it falls into the hands of someone who doesn't know much about it, it may cause disaster or strange phenomena.

The fourth is to visit all the people who have come into contact with the ascetic based on the information. The key point is to find out whether the monk has asked about Cornimis or somewhere in the ice field. This takes a lot of time. Jiang Baimian I plan to do it last.

By the time the "Old Tune Team" finished their work, the sun had already reached the center of the sky, but it seemed weak under the layers of yellowish air.

At Shang Jianyao's urging, Jiang Baimian and others left the hotel in search of food.

Considering that he would take Lao Ge to the Hunter Guild later, the "Old Tune Team" was familiar nearby, so he once again chose the "Old Henry" restaurant to avoid any accidents and complications when he went to a strange place.

Seeing them, the brown-haired waiter from yesterday evening took the initiative to greet them and led them to find a remote place to sit down.

After recording the dishes they ordered, he lowered his voice and said:

"You should have been to the Hunter's Guild. Do you still want to ask for information from the friend I know?"

"This is exactly our wish." Jiang Baimian nodded.

She felt confident after confirming that some of the high-performance batteries had been charged.

Of course, she planned to meet with the information dealer tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, which would be safer.

"Where is your friend and what is his name?" Shang Jianyao asked proactively.

The brown-haired waiter said nothing, just looked at them with a smile.

Bai Chen took out a spare knight's silver coin that he had on him and handed it to him.

The brown-haired waiter reached out and took it, his smile getting warmer:

"Her name is Gittes, and she works at the Fire and Iron Hotel."

Shang Jianyao suddenly showed a distressed expression.

That knight's silver coin was wasted!

This is the information dealer they know!

"She has a day off today, and she should come to our place for lunch later." The brown-haired waiter further said, "Let me introduce you to her."

Kitis is really well-known for being well-informed... I really can't tell... As Jiang Baimian sighed secretly, the female receptionist appeared at the door of the "Old Henry" restaurant.

She was wearing a linen shirt, trousers of the same color, dark black boots, and a dark leather jacket. Her honey-colored hair was still tied up casually, and her gray-blue eyes were large and lifeless.

Kittis walked in like this, acting as if she was sleepwalking, and almost bumped into tables and chairs several times.

This state is too bad...the price of awakening? Now when encountering similar things, Jiang Baimian's first reaction was to pay the price of being an awakener.

The more abnormal it is, the more likely it is that an awakened person is involved!

"Jitis, someone is looking for you." The brown-haired waiter greeted with a smile.

Gitis raised her eyelids, glanced here, and walked over slowly.

"What do you want to know?" she asked slightly warily.

Shang Jianyao blurted out in shock:

"You don't recognize us anymore?"

He looked aggrieved and disappointed.

Gittes thought about it for a moment and finally remembered:

"Are you hotel guests?"

She seemed to have little memory of what had just happened that morning.

"Yes." Jiang Baimian said to the brown-haired waiter, "Add another chair to Ms. Kittis."

After Kitis sat down and the waiter left, Shang Jianyao took out his father's photo and handed it to the information dealer:

"Do you know this person?

"He might have been in Gerstberg twelve years ago."

Shang Jianyao's action was lightning-fast, just like he had rehearsed it many times, and Jiang Baimian had no time to stop him.

Gittes took the photo and whispered:

"Twelve years ago I was only fourteen years old..."

Suddenly, she paused and her tone changed:

"This gray earth man..."
