Embers Ad Infinitum

The church guards who went to find Ankhbas came back faster than Song He expected, because on the way they met Lopez, Ankhbas's right-hand subordinate, the one who almost killed Baz in the morning.

He is almost 1.9 meters tall, which is enough to look down on most people on the dust. Even Shang Jianyao, who has been genetically modified, is a little shorter than him.

In addition to being tall, he is also quite strong. The pressure caused by such a person standing in front of him can be imagined.

He was not a member of the Vigilant Sect, so he did not wear a mask and let his appearance be exposed.

He has messy pale blond hair, light blue eyes, angular lines, a tough and rough temperament, a camouflage green military uniform, two "United 202" pistols slanted at his waist, and leather with steel nails inlaid at the tips. Boots, together create the image characteristics of this giant man.

"He's not quite like a Red River person, but closer to an Iceman. Well, he might be a Yargai." Jiang Baimian, who was standing next to Baz, said something in Red River dialect.

The ice sheet is in the northernmost part of the entire gray earth. It is a very large area. Many Red River people today actually have certain characteristics of ice people. According to some data from the old world, in ancient times, due to the impact of climate change, many people The Icelanders went south and entered the Red River Basin, conquered many local indigenous tribes, and settled down. After generations of this, the Yargai branch emerged among the Red River people.

Similarly, among the Gray Earth people, there was also a blond, white-skinned, tall and strong branch, but they slowly disappeared in the subsequent evolution.

Hearing Jiang Baimian's "whisper", Lopez couldn't help but glanced sideways at her, seeming a little surprised.

He is indeed a Yargai.

However, after the destruction of the old world, a new round of mixing of human races occurred due to disasters, wars, and migrations. Coupled with the loss of various materials, except for areas with a large number of Yarge people, almost no one mentioned this concept again, and directly referred to it as They were identified with the Red River people.

Lopez quickly withdrew his gaze, faced the huge symbol deep in the hall, and bowed slightly.

Although he was not a believer in "Yougu", he still did not dare to be too presumptuous when he entered the Vigilant Church. After all, there were many devout believers in Hongshiji, including the few men who were following him at this time.

If he did something blasphemous, he suspected that he would be shot from behind before he even left the church.

This kind of thing is always hard to guard against.

Moreover, he was wary of the large swaths of dangerous red and solemn golden yellow in the church, which also made him unconsciously feel awe.

Song He, who was wearing a black burqa, stood in front of the huge "Yougu" symbol, nodded slightly and said:

"You said you wanted to find Buzz?"

He spoke Honghe dialect.

Lopez did not answer immediately, looked around and said:

"Where's Bishop Renato?"

Song He calmly responded:

"The bishop has other matters, and I can represent him with full authority."

Lopez showed his friendliness without any arrogance:

“Alert, Buzz is likely involved in Herwig’s death.

"My boss, Mr. Ankhbas, and Herwig are both partners and good friends. They have been investigating this matter since yesterday."

"Lies!" Buzz retorted with shock and anger.

Lopez smiled. He first looked back at his men wearing various masks, and then said to Baz:

"No murderer will directly admit that he did it."

"Yes." Shang Jianyao, who was wearing a monkey mask, interrupted, "Some are to show off, and some are to cover up other things."

For example, "Fr."

Lopez glanced at him and didn't pay attention to the pawn who interrupted randomly.

He looked at Song He and said with a smile:

"Warning, can you guarantee that Baz is not the murderer?"

Song He was silent for a few seconds:

"I really can't guarantee it. No one can guarantee it until the matter is thoroughly investigated."

Before Lopez could speak, he continued:

"Baz also identified Ankhbas as the murderer and gave a convincing enough reason:

"You planned the arms robbery in order to hide the arms from others and send the arms to the mountains, while pointing the finger at the Gray Whisperer and the 'Underground Ark'.

"In order to monopolize this batch of arms, Ankhbas had the motive to kill Herwig."

Neither Herwig nor Ankhbas dared to blatantly sell arms to others, as that would make them public enemies of Hongshiji.

Until now, it is still just a rumor about them selling their arms to others.

If Baz wasn't Herwig's confidant, it would be difficult to know this secret.

After listening quietly, Lopez suddenly burst out laughing:

"Ha ha.

"This is the funniest joke I've heard this year!"

His laughter echoed in the empty and quiet church, making Song He frown slightly.

"Please be careful about your volume inside the church." Song He warned.

No matter what he was thinking in his heart, Lopez still didn't dare to make a mistake on the surface, restrained his laughter, and said with tut:

“Warning, you must not be deceived by Baz.

“He must have framed Mr. Ankhbas just to get away with it.

"For so many years, Mr. Ankhbas has been contributing to the Red Stone Collection against the Second People, and even betrayed his favor and came back with a military exoskeleton device. How could he sell the arms to the mountain monster?

"You must speak with evidence!"

Baz responded immediately:

"In addition to me, Mark and Castiel also know, and they can testify!"

"Perhaps in order to monopolize that batch of arms, you teamed up to kill Herwig and then framed the blame on Mr. Ankhbas." Lopez said calmly.

Song He raised his right hand to stop the confrontation between the two:

“There is no conclusive evidence now, so you can say whatever you want.

"As a warning person, I won't take sides. I can only ensure that everything is done under the watchful eye of Zhi Sui."

Hearing the words "Zhi Sui's gaze", Jiang Baimian couldn't help but recall his previous experience.

To this day, she still has lingering fears.

Song He continued:

“You can interrogate Baz, but it must be in the church, with me witnessing it.

“Similarly, Ankhbas had to come to the church in person and be questioned.

"You can't make the decision on this matter, go back and report to him."

He blocked Lopez's possibility of arguing with one sentence.

If Ankhbas comes, can you make him friendly and make him confess more leniently? Does this count as completing our mission? Jiang Baimian muttered in his heart.

At this time, Lopez, who could not argue, shifted his attention and turned his attention to the two outsiders:

"Are you the alien hunters who took over the case of the arms being robbed?"

After receiving a positive reply, he smiled and said:

"It is difficult to make progress through just interrogation. I hope that as a third party, you can provide objective and fair investigation results as soon as possible."

As he spoke, his eyes moved back and forth on the masks of Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao.

Before the two of them could respond, Lopez turned around and walked towards the door of the church.

Several of his men did not follow immediately. They each raised their arms, crossed them in front of their chests, and took a step back.

After saluting, they followed Lopez.

After watching them leave, Song He said to Baz:

"The real can not be fake, the fake can not be real.

"You should stay in the church during this period. Vier happens to be here too. You can exchange hiding techniques."

"Yes, Warner." Baz was visibly relieved when he saw that the sect had not abandoned him.

Seeing that there was no progress for the time being, Jiang Baimian pulled Baz aside and asked in a "low voice":

“Where do you think Ankhbas would hide those arms?

"Find them and it becomes clear."

"I don't know." Baz shook his head in annoyance, "Anherbas sent out his mercenaries at that time. They were all exiles, led by Lopez."

Jiang Baimian didn't ask any more questions and said to Shang Jianyao:

"Then let's go out for a walk and see if we can find any clues."

After leaving the church, the two walked towards the abandoned building where Bai Chen and Long Yuehong were.

As they approached their destination, someone stopped them.

Judging from the mask, these are the townsfolk of Redstone who followed Lopez just now, the men of Ankhbas.

One of the men wearing a spider mask and holding a submachine gun raised his chin slightly to Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao:

"Our boss lets you pass."

Jiang Baimian was not surprised at all, he nodded gently and said:

"good."

Shang Jianyao emphasized seriously:

"Say please."

After taking one look at the guy wearing a monkey mask, Lopez's man who just spoke snorted, turned around, and led the way.

The other two people held weapons, one on the left and one on the right, sandwiching Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao in the middle.

After rounding a building, they saw Lopez.

This blond man wearing a camouflage green military uniform was sitting on the hood of an earth-yellow all-terrain vehicle, smiling as he watched Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao walking towards him.

On both sides of him, there was a subordinate standing with a gun.

When the foreign relic hunters approached, Lopez laughed out loud:

"You are very calm."

"Are you going to kill us if you are aware that the sect has intervened?" As he spoke, Jiang Baimian looked around and swept across the roof of a certain building.

"A dead person cannot identify who killed him. Didn't that idiot Baz prove nothing?" Lopez leaned forward slightly, increasing the pressure. "I came to you because I have something to say to you... …”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a figure jumping over, and the mask with a furry face and a sharp mouth came directly into his eyes.

The speed was so fast and the attack was so sudden that Lopez had no time to draw his gun and could only raise his hand to block it in front of him.

Then, he found that the other party just stretched out his hand and moved his arm uncontrollably to the side, exposing his chest and abdomen.

Such great power... As soon as Lopez had this thought, the hunter wearing a monkey mask lowered his shoulder and hit him hard in the chest.

With a pop, his vision went dark and he fell backwards.

Shang Jianyao bent his elbow and struck down.

Boom!

Lopez's abdomen sunk and his upper body bounced back up.

The next second, his neck was pinched by a hand.

He looked at the impressive monkey mask and shouted in shock and anger:

"what are you up to?"

With guns aimed at each other, Shang Jianyao said seriously:

“One, you can’t insult my brother.

“Two, the car cover is not for sitting on.

"Three, please say please."

"..." Lopez almost doubted his ears, "Are you crazy?"
