Chapter 253: Guns Can’t Beat Cards

When Jim solemnly took the "Girl of Thought" back into his wallet and returned to the place where he was chatting, he found that everyone seemed to be under a restraining spell, standing there with frowning eyebrows, as if they were thinking about some difficulty. The problem.

"What's going on?" Jim frowned and said, "Why is everyone acting like a 'thinker'?"

"Ah, you came just in time." Tess floated to Jim's side. When her little face that he had fantasized about pinching on a small piece of paper kept getting closer, Jim felt that he could hardly control himself. Hands on.

[Oh my god, I really want to pinch it...] Jim's breathing gradually became faster, and Tess, who should have been very sharp, seemed not to notice Jim's abnormality, and kept looking at the boy in front of her with her beautiful eyes until After the crocodile behind Jim started to get a little restless, Tess backed away with an embarrassed look on her face.

"Sorry, I was just observing the traces of the 'Gray and Blue Men'. It seems that they didn't get on top of you, nor did they control the crocodile behind you. That's lucky." Tess floated behind Jim and took a photo. Patting the crocodile on Jim's back, the crocodile actually made a pleasant sound when Tess patted it.

"Gray-blue man?" This new term made Jim frown: "What is this? Why are you observing this suddenly?"

"That guy's comrade-in-arms was possessed by the 'Gray-Blue Man'." Tess pursed her lips and pointed to O'Brien. O'Brien nodded and said, "I just found out."

Tess opened her own Veins interface - it was Ojiao who took her to register - due to Veins' strange registration mechanism of "epiphany + old with new", she may be one of the few registered Veins in the huge Xingz empire. The reporter pointed to one of the documents and said: "This is a cosmic life that can possess other creatures. Even if you defeat their possessor, someone who is not careful will be possessed. The victory or defeat depends on this." Reversed."

"It's really scary..." Looking at the detailed information recorded on Veins and the matching effects of the monsters named "Grey Blue", even the well-informed Jim couldn't help but feel troubled, "So, The reason why you attacked O'Brien's comrade was not because he attacked members of the expedition, but because he was possessed by 'Gray Blue'?"

"The logic of cause and effect is reversed. It was precisely because he was possessed that he attacked the members of the expedition team." O'Brien hurriedly explained that he did not want his teammates to be mistaken for someone who would shoot casually, "Even if We are mercenaries, and we won’t make enemies out of nowhere in a strange jungle. What’s more, in a place like this, which one is faster is the gun or the cards... Don’t you have any points?”

"Yes, those who hold guns these days may not be as good as those who play cards." Professor Hopkins said with a wry smile: "The years of experience of us middle-aged and elderly people seem even more ridiculous in the face of the violent era... Don't Not to mention, as long as you or Rebecca are in the expedition team at that time, the person we need to take care of may not be Louise, but this boy's mercenary friend, and Miss Tess will not take action. "

"Don't be so sure. You can't say for sure whether you will take action or not. For example, the boy I checked just now is because his duel spirit came into close contact with someone who had been possessed by the 'grey-blue man'." Tess explained: "Don't do it If protected, the 'grey-blue' is likely to be parasitic on the person who defeated them... But it seems that the 'grey-blue' in that guy is still in a very young stage and has been completely eliminated, let alone yourself. None of the crocodiles showed signs of infection."

Jim felt a little relieved after hearing Tess say that "even the crocodile had no traces of infection."

After seeing that there were no signs of "grey-blue" infection on Jim's body, Tess had nothing more to ask, so she was about to leave, but was stopped by another question from Jim - it seemed that Jim was Deliberately telling Tess not to leave so early.

"What about the Earth-bound God?" Jim asked hurriedly as if he had a sudden thought: "How could you and that big lizard fight? You told me before that you were meditating instead of deliberately protecting the professor. They are because..."

"Okay Jim, don't make things difficult for Miss Tess anymore." Before Jim finished asking the question, he was interrupted by Professor Hopkins. He looked at Jim in front of him with sincere eyes, trying to stop him from asking further. "It is very late now. Let Miss Tess rest."

"I...Professor Hopkins, you are the archaeologist who likes to 'get to the bottom of things' the most." Jim said half-jokingly: "You are not very convincing when you say this."

"Everyone has secrets, just like ancient relics. There are always things the ancients are willing to tell us and things they are not willing to tell us. Why do we have to make everything clear?" Professor Hopkins shook his head and said: “We do archeology to know the past, but knowing the past is also for the present.”

"...Okay" Jim glanced at Tess who turned her head with some reluctance, and regretfully gave up and continued to ask.

However, Professor Hopkins' words still made Jim very concerned. As a student of Professor Hopkins, he knew him very well - he probably knew some information that he didn't know at some time. , and related to why the "Girl of Thought" came into contact with "Earthbound God Kokalea", this information is likely to be dangerous.

As an archaeologist, Jim knew that a piece of information could be more lethal than a bullet. He had personally seen people who went crazy and committed suicide after reading ancient books.

Tess and Judai left one after another, and O'Brien also planned to go see his mercenary brother again - mercenaries either had no feelings (could betray at any time) or had deep feelings (had to pay extra), so Jim and Professor Hopkins could not tell from O'Brien's expression whether he was going to take care of his brother or go to finish him off.

However, they really had no control over O'Brien's comrades. Jim rescued him and gave him to O'Brien to repay his friendship for taking the initiative to act as bait. He was not so saintly that he wanted to save everyone, nor was he so arrogant that he thought he could rely on a few hours of "comradeship" to convince a mercenary who had been fighting in the flames of war for many years.

The other party might have eaten more gunpowder than he had eaten salt.

Tess took Judai away. According to Professor Hopkins, when Jim left, Judai introduced his relationship with Tess. It turned out that they went to the island together, just like himself and Professor Hopkins. It was reasonable for them to act together at this time.

However, Judai and Tess did not fly far. They flew to the camp and set up a tent to live in.

Jim held the wallet in his hand, and the "Girl of Thought" lay quietly in it.

[If I miss this opportunity, I don't know when I will have another chance in the future! ] Jim made up his mind, and then after sending Professor Hopkins to rest in the tent, he sneaked to the tent where Judai and Tess had just been, hesitating whether to go in...
