Embers Ad Infinitum

Gnawa could analyze what Jiang Baimian was worried about, and immediately said:

"I can make some modifications and gain the ability to interfere with surveillance."

He said that making changes is as simple and natural as a normal human would say changing a piece of clothing.

"I have considered it, but I'm afraid it's too late, and the corresponding equipment is not so easy to get." Jiang Baimian said, a smile gradually appeared on his face, "This was indeed a problem before, but now I have A better idea.”

"What is it?" Long Yuehong asked with a learning attitude.

Jiang Baimian turned his eyes and said with a smile:

"Since our approach to the 'Underground Ark' may not be hidden from Di Marco's senses, let's not hide it and let's go there openly."

"Ah?" Long Yuehong looked confused, and neither Bai Chen nor Gnawa answered.

How could "decapitation operations" be carried out in the past in a fair and just manner?

Jiang Baimian took advantage of the situation and looked at Shang Jianyao:

"Do you have any idea?"

Shang Jianyao nodded solemnly:

"Tactical deception!"

"Hey." Jiang Baimian did not quarrel with this guy, but explained with a smile, "I mean, we can find an excuse to act openly in the ventilation ducts of the vigilant church."

Hearing the ventilation duct, a name came directly to Long Yuehong's mind:

Vier!

Before he had time to have other thoughts, Jiang Baimian looked around with a smile:

“For example, we went to Song Warner to take over the task of finding Viel.

"We all know Viel likes to hang out in ventilation ducts, so it makes sense that we would look for him in the church's ventilation system.

"During this process, because the ventilation ducts of the church and the ventilation ducts of the 'Underground Ark' are heavily connected, we will inevitably get close to the 'Underground Ark' and be sensed by Di Marco, which allows him to become familiar with our presence in advance. Be clear about our purpose, our ostensible purpose.

"When he becomes numb to this situation and no longer has such a high level of vigilance and no longer has stress reactions, we will take advantage of the silence of the night and use the predetermined vents to quietly enter the Ark."

Bai Chen nodded slightly when he heard this:

"It's a way."

Jiang Baimian smiled even more obviously:

"More importantly, if an accident occurs and the operation fails, we can also raise the banner of vigilance against sects, shock Di Marco, and strive for everyone to escape unscathed."

Speaking of this, she smiled obviously, pretending that she was someone from the "underground ark" in front of her, and simulated possible rhetoric:

"We were entrusted by the Vigilance Sect and suspected that Viel's disappearance was related to your Ark, so we sneaked in and looked for clues!

“If you think this is wrong, then communicate with the sect and let them punish us.

"Could it be that you want to overstep your authority?"

Long Yuehong was stunned for a moment after hearing this. It felt like a pair of black wings extended from the team leader's back and a black tail was raised.

At this time, Jiang Baimian concluded:

"To put it simply, it is to use the banner as a tiger's skin!"

Bang bang bang, Shang Jianyao's applause came as expected.

Long Yuehong sincerely felt that she could not offend the team leader by offending anyone in the future.

Fortunately, the team leader has always been tolerant, and the prime minister can support a boat. Shang Jianyao's survival to this day is proof... Long Yuehong thought of a question while muttering:

"What if Viel has come back?"

"Then let's have some communication with the Vigilance Sect. If they are indeed as we expected, not only will they not shelter Dimarco, but they may also provide us with some help, then let Viel disappear for a while. Unexpectedly, there is no need to continue the 'Beheading Operation'. Fighting against the Vigilance Sect is something that only the company level is qualified to consider." Jiang Baimian had already thought about this matter.

Let Viel disappear for a while longer? Long Yuehong felt a bit toothache after hearing this.

…………

The next morning, inside the red-and-gold vigilance church.

The "Old Tune Team" saw the warning person in Song He's room.

"Warner Song, is Viel back?" Jiang Baimian asked straight to the point.

Song He shook his head and said slightly worriedly:

"I was just trying to arrange for people to find him, but something wasn't right."

While Long Yuehong breathed a sigh of relief, Jiang Baimian volunteered:

“Why don’t you entrust this task to us?

"We were the ones who found Viel before."

Although Vier took the initiative on his own initiative at the time, it was after all that the "Old Adjustment Team" took over the task and launched the search.

Song He thought for a while and said:

"What kind of compensation do you need?"

"A little blessing from 'Aunt You'." Jiang Baimian deliberately made his words meaningful.

"Huh?" Song He was a little hard to understand.

Jiang Baimian did not answer, but asked:

"The most likely place for Viel to hide is in the ventilation ducts throughout the church. We want to have free access to the church and search every ventilation duct."

Song He was silent for a few seconds, seeming to hear the implication of Jiang Baimian's words.

He considered and said:

"I can't make a decision on this matter or the reward you want. I'm going to discuss it with Bishop Antoniola now. You guys wait here for a while."

"Okay." Jiang Baimian, wearing a delicate monk mask, smiled.

Nearly ten minutes later, Antoniola, wearing a black cloak and a simple mask, followed Song He into the room.

He said bluntly:

"The blessing of 'You Gu' is for those who devoutly believe in Him and do things for Him. I cannot promise it to you on behalf of Zhi Sui."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Jianyao clasped his hands on his chest, then took a step back:

"Be vigilant forever!"

"..." Antoniola didn't know how to respond for a moment.

After a few seconds, he changed the subject:

"I can give you permission to search the church's ventilation ducts. I just hope you can find Viel as soon as possible, and I also hope you won't cause any damage here."

He didn't mention the final reward, as if it wasn't something worth caring about.

Jiang Baimian's eyes moved slightly, as if he was thinking:

"The layout of the ventilation ducts here is complicated and connected to the 'underground ark'. What if we get lost for a while and enter a place we shouldn't?"

Antoniola was silent for nearly ten seconds, with a slight smile in her tone:

"It won't happen again."

Jiang Baimian then laughed and said:

"Okay, I won't do it next time."

…………

Alert Church, basement level.

Slave merchant Huo Zhi looked at the forty or fifty young men and women in front of him and said with a smile:

"You have also seen that even if it is just a place for training, it is better than where you lived before. There are beds of similar sizes, mattresses, quilts, pillows, and three meals on time.

"What is this called? This is called heaven! This is your blessing. Don't let Mr. Di Marco down.

"In short, train hard and try to get into the Ark. If you are not selected, haha, you may have to go to a place like a mine."

The eyes of the forty or fifty men and women in tattered clothes were full of hope.

They are also worried about the consequences of failing to make the selection.

Just as the people from the "Underground Ark" began to arrange for these men and women to move into different rooms, Huo Zhi and his men saw the team of ruin hunters with robots capable of destroying the entire Red Stone Collection arriving in the elevator.

What are they doing here? Huo Zhi subconsciously took two steps back to get out of the way, while the slaves he brought huddled at the entrances of different rooms, looking at the "visitors" with anxious and blank eyes.

Shang Jianyao stopped and glanced at the relatively clean but disheveled faces.

"What are you doing here?" A deacon from "Underground Ark" came over and said, "Now is the time for our Ark to train our servants."

The ownership of the underground floor belongs to Ark. Only when they are not training and inspecting slaves will they be lent to the vigilant sect for mass.

Shang Jianyao, wearing a monkey mask with a furry face and a pointed mouth, smiled and raised his hand:

"Repair ventilation ducts."

The deacon, Huo Zhi and others were all shocked by this answer, and no one spoke for a while.

Jiang Baimian took two steps forward and explained:

"A child was lost in the church. He likes to drill into ventilation ducts. We are here to find him."

As she spoke, she took out the certification document written by Antoniola.

The deacon of "Underground Ark" took it and looked at it for a few times, nodded slightly and said:

"Don't disturb us."

"Okay." Jiang Baimian agreed with a smile.

Such an episode was intentional by Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao. The purpose was to inform the people of the "Underground Ark" about their "mission" and try to reach Di Marco's ears as soon as possible.

Next, the "Old Tunneling Team" started searching the ventilation ducts in different areas according to the layout map.

In the process, they arrived at the vents that allowed them to enter the "Underground Ark" many times, but after "confirming" that there was no trace of Viel, they left and went to other places, acting like a relic of a normal force fulfilling their contract. Hunter team.

As outsiders who are not accustomed to living in ventilation ducts, the "Old Adjustment Team"'s search progress is undoubtedly not too fast. Every two to three hours, they have to go out to get some fresh air, move their bodies, and rest their spirits.

In this way, they were busy until 11 o'clock at night, and there were only two or three areas left.

The vent corresponding to one of the areas is where they should be responsible for Yutian and Bode.

At this time, the vigilant church has been closed, and all the clergy have gone back to their rooms to rest. Only some of the church's armed forces are still patrolling and on duty.

In the empty golden and red hall, Jiang Baimian stood up after adjusting his condition, and led Shang Jianyao, Bai Chen and others to the holy emblem of "Yougu".

Looking at the vague female figure behind the door, she lowered her head, lowered her voice, and said sincerely:

“‘Underground Ark’ believed in you in the past, believes in you now, and will believe in you in the future.

"We just want your followers to live a better and more secure life, without the fear of being killed at any time."

After the confession, the five members of the "Old Tune Group" raised their heads at the same time.

The holy emblem of "Yougu" with a female figure hidden in the darkness behind the door is still hanging there quietly.

Long Yuehong whispered a little disappointedly:

"No response..."

Although he also knows that this is wishful thinking, after all, even the most devout "Yugu" believers may not be able to get the attention of Zhi Sui, let alone pagans and unbelievers like them, but people always like to look for the best. To look forward to.

In fact, if "Yougu" really sets her sights here, the first person to be frightened will definitely be Long Yuehong herself.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Shang Jianyao smile and heard him say excitedly:

"Zhi Sui acquiesced!"

After saying that, Shang Jianyao put on a monkey mask with a furry face and a sharp mouth, turned around and walked towards the underground floor.
