Embers Ad Infinitum

Shang Jianyao suddenly became excited:

"OK."

Jiang Baimian deliberately ignored his expression and said to Gnawa who was shaking his neck up and down:

"Lao Ge, leave this matter to you."

In this regard, Shang Jianyao was only slightly disappointed, but quickly regained his energy, pulled Gnawa aside, and whispered.

…………

Dimis put one hand in his pocket, holding the paper bag that contained his black trench coat, and walked towards the road leading to the Green Olive District while admiring the night street scene.

During this process, it was inevitable that passers-by would approach him or walk with him, but they would unconsciously slow down or choose to make a small circle. In short, no one could follow Dimis by pretending to be an ordinary pedestrian. And all this is done unconsciously.

Seeing the alley around the corner, Dimis suddenly saw a figure rushing over.

The opponent was so fast, like an out-of-control vehicle, that he ran to his side before he could react.

Immediately afterwards, a silver-black metal palm patted Dimis on the shoulder, as if the two brothers were getting along well.

Only then did Dimis see clearly that the person coming was a robot wearing a dark green military uniform with red eyes.

He opened his mouth, trying to create chaos by calling for help and take the opportunity to escape. As a result, Gnawa retracted his right palm and pinched his neck, blocking his voice.

"Do you think those security guards who passed by just now will have time to return?" Gnawa tried to put a smile on his slightly synthesized baritone.

This line was taught to him by Shang Jianyao, who also had to control his tone.

Dimis's expression froze, and he didn't know where he went wrong.

Gennava took advantage of the situation and hugged him, pretending to be familiar and friendly to everyone, in order to cover up the abnormal position of his right palm.

"I just have something to talk to you about." The intelligent robot repeated the lines given by Shang Jianyao again to stabilize its goal.

If he wasn't unable to express himself, he would always be smiling.

Demis's face had returned to normal, and he could not see any fear. He "followed" Gnawa into the secluded alley and found a deserted corner.

"Are you the person who caused the bombing at the citizens' rally?" Gnawa asked.

Dimis nodded calmly:

"You have all seen through my disguise, do you still need to ask this question?

"Let your master come out."

Gnawa noticed the reaction that did not match his database of human behavior patterns, and asked:

"Are not you afraid?"

"What's the use of being afraid?" Dimis asked calmly.

Gnawa moved his metal neck:

"Are you also an accomplice of the murderer in the arena assassination?"

"You can say that." Demis actually laughed.

Gennava asked:

"Why do you do these things?"

"In order to break the current order and create chaos." Dimis said with a solemn expression, "The current 'Primary City' is like a slowly rising pool of stagnant water. If this continues, it will become less and less energetic and diffuse. Over everyone’s neck…”

Hearing this, Gnawa corrected himself:

"Slowly rising water and stagnant water are logically contradictory and cannot be put together."

"..." Dimis was stunned for a moment, "Just understand the meaning. In short, this state must be broken. No matter which direction it develops from now on, it will not be worse than now."

Gennava actually somewhat agreed with this:

"Movement and change are the main themes of this world. The only constant is that we are always changing."

"You want to cooperate?" Dimis guessed the purpose of the forces behind this robot.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a figure entering this deserted place.

Before that, he had no sense at all, which showed that the other party could cover up his consciousness and was also an awakened person.

The visitor was tall and big, wearing an airy monkey mask.

Taking advantage of Dimis' attention being attracted by the mask, Shang Jianyao smiled and said:

"look:

“We want to do something big in Prime City, and you want to do something big in Prime City;

“We are a team and you are a team;

"so……"

Dimis's expression changed several times, and finally showed a smile that was both friendly and surprising:

"It turns out it's you. How come you met in such a scary way?"

"This is more hidden and safer." Shang Jianyao replied sincerely.

Without giving Demis a chance to speak, he put a smile on his voice:

"You just convinced our robot."

Demis laughed:

"There is no other way. You have to prepare multiple sets of rhetoric to deal with different people."

"..." Gennava then realized that he failed to recognize that the other party was lying.

Of course, even a lie detector that can monitor various data of the opponent may not be accurate, let alone an "amateur" intelligent robot like him.

Shang Jianyao then laughed and said:

"Actually, I think what you said makes sense. The current 'Primordial City' is in urgent need of change. No matter which direction it is changed, it is better than staying the same.

"Seriously, are you familiar with the murderer of the arena assassination case? I don't think you are too worried about him."

Dimis chuckled:

"We just kind of collaborated on that thing, and I don't even know if the names he told me were real or fake."

At this point, he shrugged:

"Anyway, it's the arrangement from above. I will do whatever they tell me."

"Which organization is above you that makes me a little confused?" Shang Jianyao tested it in plain English.

Gnawa paid close attention to Dimis's movements, and as soon as he found any signs of waking up, he would immediately take action to knock him out.

"Didn't they tell you?" Dimis took the initiative to find a reasonable explanation for Shang Jianyao.

His expression became solemn again:

"We are the Order of Behavior."

Having said this, he made a face and spoke in a low voice:

“Your actions reveal your heart, and may the impulse be with you.”

"Behavioral Cult..." Shang Jianyao had seen relevant content in the information provided by the company, but still asked to confirm, "Which Zhi Sui do you believe in?"

"The 'Monitor' of May." Dimis made a face again, as if to show respect for Zhi Sui in this way.

Shang Jianyao said "oh" twice:

"What is your communion?"

"All kinds of bugs, all kinds of ways." Dimis replied sternly, "After the chaotic era, except for wilderness wanderers and some relic hunters who are short of food, no one is willing to eat these things, so the leader of our sect will They are ordained as sacraments.”

Trying to behave differently than others? Gennava tried to analyze the reason.

Shang Jianyao raised his hand and pressed the monkey mask on his face:

"You can eat it by twisting off the head. It's quite rich in protein."

He then sighed:

"What exactly do you want to achieve?"

"You need to ask your superiors and my superiors about this. I am just a soldier responsible for execution." Dimis said that he was also unclear.

Shang Jianyao looked at Dimis with regretful eyes for several seconds, making him confused.

"Why are you always chased by those security guards? Showing up on purpose to attract attention?" Shang Jianyao asked instead.

Demis showed a proud smile:

"It's a performance art."

"Oh, no wonder you are called the Behavioral Cult." Shang Jianyao's eyes suddenly became bright because he was a little uninterested in the Holy Communion.

At this time, Gennava interjected:

"Does this make you happy?"

"This not only makes me happy, but it is also a way of praying, which is approved and appreciated by Zhi Sui." Dimis did not hide anything.

Shang Jianyao asked curiously:

"What other performance art have you completed?"

"That's too much. Let's talk later. Someone may pass by here at any time." Dimis was quite cautious.

Shang Jianyao nodded:

"You covered your mouth with a scarf before, did you deliberately mislead the pursuer?"

"Yeah, once I take off the scarf, they won't recognize me." The corners of Dimis's lips raised slightly.

Shang Jianyao stretched out his right hand:

“That’s it for today, don’t report what happened to us for the time being.

"In this way, if you are betrayed, you can still come to us for help. If you need cooperation in subsequent tasks, you can also come to us."

Demis pondered for a moment and nodded slowly:

"You are also leaving a way out.

"Okay, how should I contact you?"

After giving a specific time, another frequency band and some kind of telegraph code, Shang Jianyao waved goodbye to Dimis.

Gennava also imitated him, raised his metal arm, spread his fingers, and shook it a few times.

After taking off their masks and walking around to a safe house, Shang Jianyao and Gennava waited for a few minutes and saw Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen returning.

They had been on guard around that alley, and would give a signal if they noticed anything was wrong.

After listening to Shang Jianyao's retelling, Jiang Baimian frowned slightly and said the noun to himself:

"The Order of Behavior..."

After a few seconds, she sighed:

"The demons are dancing wildly!"

She was referring to the situation in the original city, where all forces and religious groups were making their debut.

After communicating this matter, Jiang Baimian looked around:

"Everyone, please rest. Lao Ge, be careful and try to record for the 'Dao and Electrical Repair' radio station tomorrow night."
