Chapter 885: Beware of Scams
After all, people can't understand each other, and the same is true of Song Lan and 'nothingness'.
Song Lan couldn't understand why Nothingness was happy to be troubled by the thugs, just as Nothingness couldn't understand that Song Lan finally came to the Seventh Neutral Country once, but after closing the store and being idle, he leaned back on the lounge chair, as if everything that happened outside had nothing to do with him anymore.
Nothingness coughed lightly and said, "The Seventh Neutral is the name of the Coalition Government, and their naming level is a mess. ”
The Council first changed the names of the cities in its territory to numeric codes, and then applied their disastrous naming level to the Allies through the Neutral Covenant.
Forced by the coercion of the coalition government, the Allied countries could only swallow their anger and accept the unified title of the X-neutral country.
Nothingness seriously suspects that the current ruler of the coalition government is suffering from Alzheimer's disease, so much so that he can only remember numbers.
"The locals called the 'Oasis,' and after the Third War, the people who were lost in the desert built it with hope for a better future, hoping that the oasis would be like a beacon in the desert to guide the way for those who came after."
Nothingness paused and concluded, "And the city we're in is called Lut, which is said to be the name of a musical instrument before the Third War, so don't you think it's weird if you don't bite a border city anymore?" ”
"Oh."
……
Song Lan successfully used one word to reduce the atmosphere in the store to freezing point.
"Nothingness" felt that he had been provoked, and if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't defeat Song Lan, he would probably have already made a move.
He has never liked patience, and firmly believes that it is very rude to respond to other people's dedication to science with an "oh".
Since the store closed, Song Lan has been holding her mobile phone and sitting under the air conditioner, maintaining the same posture for almost two hours.
This feeling is like an old father who welcomed a child he hadn't seen for a long time during the holidays, only to find that he only knew how to play electric every day.
"Root is an optimistic and tolerant city, where people are versatile and welcoming, and you can often find bands improvising on the Spring Trail."
"It's useless, I won't go out if I say anything."
Song Lan's answer this time was a little longer, and she firmly expressed her determination to stay in the store.
From the moment he encountered Nothingness, the only good thing the latter did was to install an air conditioner in the shop, and he was now sealed by the air conditioner and could no longer get out of this room.
Nothingness has always touted the merits of Root, but has always avoided talking about a fatal flaw.
The homepage of the mobile phone shows that the temperature outside the house is as high as 37.1 degrees, and it is about to catch up with the standard line of high temperature warning in the territory of the coalition government.
At this moment, Song Lan misses the temperature control system of the coalition government very much, the winter is not too cold, the summer is not too hot, and the mild climate is very suitable for him to settle down.
"Why! Now is the perfect time to gather intelligence! ”
"Because of the heat."
"What, you're afraid of the heat?"
"That's right."
Song Lan had a natural tone.
It was useless for him to agitate the method, "not only afraid of heat, but also afraid of cold." ”
Nothingness couldn't believe its ears, when this thing set a fire in the upper world, and permanently caused the temperature of some areas to change suddenly, and it was still shrouded in magma, it never mentioned that it was afraid of heat.
"So, as long as the temperature problem is solved, you are willing to go out?"
"Don't go out."
"What's wrong again!"
"I'm afraid of getting tired."
You get me out!
……
A quarter of an hour later, Nothingness, sitting on the hovercar, fell into deep thought.
After their verbal exchange, Song Lan made the maximum concession - he finally moved his position and sat on the hovercar instead, and also made an appointment with him for three chapters before leaving, it was okay to take the hovercar, but he would never get out of the car, and in order to ensure that the "nothingness" would not miss the appointment, he also made a note.
If Nothingness induces Song Lan to get out of the car in any way during the outing, he will have to compensate the other party a huge compensation of 35 million watts.
Although he succeeded in convincing Song Lan, 'Nothingness' did not have the slightest joy of victory at the moment.
He was originally worried that Song Lan was plotted by the local fraud gang, but he didn't expect that this guy himself was proficient in fraud.
Even after getting on the hovering car, Song Lan's behavior did not change in any way.
Blowing the air conditioner and watching a movie with headphones on.
"How do you watch movies at your age?"
"Nothingness" didn't hold back for a while, and raised a soul question, but this punch was like hitting cotton, Song Lan didn't pay attention to him, and didn't even bother to raise his eyes.
"Don't forget, I didn't just ask you to come to the Oasis this time."
He's shown plenty of sincerity.
"Lao Xuan Shengfang" was asked by him from the Chamber of Commerce, and in order to integrate into the role of the shop owner, he also carefully studied the cooking techniques of snacks such as raw pan-fried.
The Chamber of Commerce was founded by his followers, and his business area traversed the "outside world", and the Oasis was one of their important trading areas, so he should be considered a merchant by now.
The Chamber of Commerce has countless assets, and the hovercar they are riding in at this moment is also stamped with the mark of the Chamber of Commerce.
If Song Lan is interested, he can take him to the Chamber of Commerce's exchange in Root, where he may meet some rebel cadres.
The above are all the words prepared by 'Nothingness', as long as Song Lan asks questions, he can logically inform the other party of these things.
But more than two hours have passed since the store closed, but Song Lan was stunned and didn't even ask a word.
Nothingness burned with rage.
You are asking, do you have to put a yellow exclamation mark on the door of his head that is bigger than the house?
Scald!
"Don't you have anything to ask me?"
After adjusting his mood, Nothingness stared at Song Lan with his eyes, and a conspicuous exclamation mark appeared above his head.
His followers probably never dreamed that he would use his supreme divine power to do such a thing.
The huge yellow exclamation mark finally caught Song Lan's attention, and he raised his eyes and stared at Nothingness for a long time.
Immediately afterwards, the yellow exclamation mark turned into a green √, and the "completed" message was thoughtfully marked in parentheses next to it.
I'm mad too!
"Nothingness" roared inwardly.
Why does this kid always overpower him in the use of psionic powers?
"1,000,000 watts."
The 'Nothingness', who was defeated in the psionic competition, tore off his disguise and revealed his true face, "You ask me, 'Why are we going to the Chamber of Commerce Exchange?' and I'll transfer you 1 million watts." ”
"Why are we going to the Chamber of Commerce?"
Hearing this, Song Lan and just now judged the two of them, he paused the movie, took off the headphones, took back the phone in his pocket, and his eyes became sharp, like a real detective.
“…… Yes, you seem to be aware of it. ”
Nothingness took a deep breath and struggled to keep the conversation going.
The people of the Chamber of Commerce did not deceive him, and now the Oasis is indeed rampant with fraud gangs, and their deception techniques are varied, and if one is not careful, he may lose both people and money.
He just took a hovercar ride and was cheated out of 1 million watts.
"The reason why the rebels are gathering here."
Although Song Lan didn't notice anything, this did not prevent him from cooperating with 'nothingness', and when the other party took out a note and photo from the inside pocket of his clothes, he immediately showed a solemn expression.
"Beacons, the source of their psionic powers."
……………………………………
At the same time, the capital of the oasis.
Essinger stands atop a tower with a panoramic view of the city.
His senses seemed to have become more and more acute lately, he could see almost every street in the city, and he could pinpoint the familiar figures.
The natives of the Oasis are open to their arrival, at least they have not yet clashed with the local powers.
As for what the authorities think, it's not something they need to think about.
He was focused and engrossed.
Gradually, he saw more.
When you look through the human body, you can see those flickering and dancing points of light.
The points of light existed in everyone's body, bright or dark, and he speculated that these points of light were the spark of spiritual power, and as the points of light appeared, the whispers of non-existence echoed in his ears again, and the whispers sent him a warning.
The beacons must be found, before they do.
Eschenweg didn't know who "they" meant, and he couldn't communicate any further with the whisper, which sounded to him more like a residual echo, repeating the same words over and over again.
The whisper was calling to them, just as he had been in his prison.
He had heard similar whispers before he got inspired.
Ethereal, like a dream, Eschinvig realized that the dream was not his own, and that several of the other leaders of the rebels had heard the same whispers and had been summoned to gather here.
But until now, they have not understood the true meaning of the beacon, and their subordinates have investigated some unreliable conjectures, and they have ruled out the signal towers, post offices, and courier companies in the capital.
All the investigations have been in vain, and the "rat" who made these speculations has been slammed in the back of the head by Ash because of a bunch of nonsense, and is now in the stage of recuperation.
It wasn't long before Eschenweg noticed an even brighter point of light.
Compared to the pedestrians on the street, the point of light shone brightly, and it went up the circular staircase of the tower until it reached the top floor.
Then he heard the door pushing, followed by the sound of a breathless voice.
"Ash."
He called out the other person's name.
Ash stretched out his right hand between the two of them, and the other hand covered his waist, buying himself a minute to breathe.
Eschinweg waited patiently, and before long, Ash cleared them out of a false answer.
"I've taken people to the airport, and the beacon isn't there."
The airport was the last "last word" left by the back of the "mouse's" head before he was slammed, because of his nonsense, and it was Ash's fourth climb to the top of the tower today.
She felt that there must be someone in her boss and the "rat" who had a brain problem, or that both of them had a problem.
Ash had no idea what her boss was doing at the top of the tower, the elevator had long since fallen into disrepair, and she was a psychic person who was not known for her physical strength, and the amount of exercise today was almost killing her.
It's a pity that Eschinvig is her top boss, and she doesn't dare to knock on the back of her head, so she can only use the "mouse" to vent her anger.
She's not kidding.
There were already quite a few people in the army talking about the change after the leader came to the oasis.
Essingervig's addiction to alcohol is a fact that everyone knows, and in the past they have been in trouble because of their alcoholism.
At this time in the past, the leader had already pulled a few leaders and cadres of the rebel army who knew each other well, and found a place to drink unconscious.
But after coming to the oasis this time, the head did not drink a drop of wine.
Not only that, but he also became much deeper, and when he had nothing to do, he stood at the top of the tower dome for a bird's-eye view of the city, which was clearly the favorite thing of the pretending riddlers to do, and it didn't match the style of their leader at all.
"I see, thank you."
"It's hard work."
Finally, Ash gave up the polite "I'm fine" and said, "Boss, there's a sentence I don't know whether to say or not. ”
"Huh?"
"Can you come down from the tower?"
The Beacon is a top secret for the Resistance, and even in the Army, only she and Mouse, two of the most trusted men, know about it, "I can't climb the stairs." ”
"Oh, I'm sorry."
After Ash's interruption, the whispers echoing in his ears disappeared again.
The point of light vanished before Essinger's eyes, and his gaze returned to what it had been.
……………………………………
"The Chamber of Commerce has found that the rebels seem to be looking for the whereabouts of the beacon, but they don't seem to know what the beacon represents, so they have been unable to locate it."
Nothingness has finally entered its state.
Now he has become an NPC who issues tasks in the game.
"So, what exactly is a beacon?"
Song Lan cooperatively advanced the mission to the next step, and the first stage of this quest line had a reward of up to 1 million watts.
"Are you serious?"
Nothingness was a little puzzled, he stared at Song Lan carefully for a moment, and found that he didn't seem to be pretending to be stupid, before he said, "It is something that was once destroyed by you, and it is used as a bridge between believers and the upper world. ”
It was Song Lan who ruined this home.
Houses were burned, bridges were destroyed, and churches were completely wiped out in human society.
"Someone has rebuilt the bridge, and that's why I'm asking you in District 4 - there must be someone else who has survived, or at least their energy has survived."
Nothingness said, "The situation with this beacon is a bit unique, and I can't get to its source. ”
It had been years since he first discovered the existence of beacons.
Over the years, he has traveled all over the "outside world", constantly trying to make phone calls to the source of the beacon, but he has not succeeded in any attempt.
"Either its hidden methods are so clever that I can't even see the clues, or its original consciousness has dissipated, and only the energy remains."
Unconscious energy will continue its original action until it disappears completely, or falls into the hands of someone else.
"Coincidentally, there are people other than the rebels who have their eyes on it, people who have dealt with you in the past."
Nothingness paused, and said, "I heard that you went to the Eclipse Sect not long ago, and ruined their good deeds, and now people are coming to the door to rob us." ”
Thanks to Dr. A for the 100 starting coins!
The small theater of its two hundred and fifty-two:
Tuesday, evening, year, month, day, and night
"In this time of crisis, the leaders of the Touching Fish Church stepped forward to save the believers from a thorough investigation and reckoning, but this war is far from over, and this fishing war has just begun."
"Lao Lu, don't read it."
Lu Xiang Kuakuqun finally failed to escape the eyes of the Great Demon King.
On the third day of the group's establishment, the trumpet of the Great Demon King infiltrated the base of the Touching Fish Church and took all the plans of the fish fry in his hands.
"Why, aren't you leading them in declaring war on the entire counterintelligence service?"
"A declaration of war? What declaration of war? It's not that serious at all, and you know that some time ago there was a lot of pressure at work, and they just complained a few words. ”
Although she had been cornered, Song Lan still cared about the Fish Sect.
They must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Great Demon King of Lu Xiang.
"Even if, at the expense of yourself?"
The Great Demon King of Lu Xiang seemed to see through his mind and asked with a smile.
"Is there an option that doesn't sacrifice, like the kind that can roll the dice when you have 20 intelligence or charisma?"
"Nope."
Lu Xiang shattered Song Lan's unrealistic illusion, put it in his ear, and exhaled like an orchid, "Minister Song, you don't want the people in this group to be interviewed tomorrow, and then the year-end bonus will be deducted, right?" Well, I'll leave it to you in a moment. ”
