Chapter 150: Pre-departure Arrangements (Part 2)
Now that the matter at the City God Temple was settled, Jiang Xia finally felt relieved.
After treating Shi Liu to a tour around the county town and giving it the new game console as promised, Jiang Xia got busy with important matters.
"Stay here and don't let anyone else come."
Outside the secret courtyard of Liu's garden, Jiang Xia gave a few instructions to the silly monster Liu Hui who was guarding the door.
The latter was holding a small tablet and watching a melodramatic love movie, and he made an OK gesture to Jiang Xia, which he learned from Jiang Xia.
But it only has four fingers, so doing this action is somewhat strange.
Thanks to the database that stores everything in the wasteland, the wolf demon's life is very fulfilling. In addition to daily training, it also has a lot of entertainment to do.
Jiang Xia glanced again at Hanhan who was guarding the other side with a double-edged axe.
He gave Hanhan a few more instructions.
The latter ate a meat bun with big mouthfuls while giving Jiang Xia a silly smile. That innocent smile was no different from before, which was really regrettable.
There are so many talented people under Jiang's command.
He shook his head and walked into the yard. It was already evening, and thirty-seven wasteland warriors were gathered here, their expressions looking normal.
Less bold and casual than before.
The locals have more simplicity, and I don’t know how Dong Gaogong reshaped their memories.
The ones who changed the most were Su and Jasmine.
Su, who was always silent and cold, now acted like a nagging old woman. With an unprecedented peaceful smile on her face, she excitedly said something to Julie, who had changed into more conservative clothes.
The big bald Malte also became more cheerful. He and Morty, who liked playing with fire, were holding a few books and talking about knowledge that only scholars could understand.
Jasmine, like a lady from a noble family, stood quietly beside Roger and even took the initiative to pour tea for him.
As for the black fox of the wasteland.
At this moment, he seemed like a kind-hearted old man. He put down the bamboo basket he was weaving, happily took Jasmine's tea, and even reached out to touch Jasmine's hair.
The two get along just like father and daughter.
Jiang Xia looked horrified by this scene.
That Dong Gaogong is really good at having fun.
This is not just a modification of memory, this is a change in personality as well.
The secret techniques of the Qintianyuan are so terrifying.
The happy scene in front of him made Jiang Xia shudder.
asshole!
Give me back my fierce and murderous wasteland warriors!
And Julie...
Put down the embroidery needle in your hand. Are you planning to make clothes for your unborn child with this motherly expression? Shouldn't you find a man to have some fun now?
this……
I can’t stand it anymore!
"Come, come, come."
Jiang Xia opened his arms and shouted to the thirty-seven people in the courtyard:
"Open your eyes, I'm going to show you something good!"
"Shua"
The air rippled like water waves, and divine thoughts were like silk weaving a large net. As Jiang Xia took a step forward, the thirty-seven unrecognizable guys in the entire courtyard were covered in it.
The next moment, he appeared in the wasteland base.
"Where is this?"
Rogge, who was usually calm, screamed like a chicken. He stretched out his hands to protect Jasmine who was trembling with fear behind him, and shouted at Jiang Xia.
The others were also completely at a loss.
The desolate desert and the ominousness of the world itself made these guys whose memories had been modified scream in fear.
Each one of them is like a sissy.
"Don't ask! Follow me!"
Jiang Xia said with a cold face, and strode towards the base's watchtower. The information database over there contained the memory data that everyone had copied in advance.
But the people behind him did not move.
Jiang Xia snapped his fingers, and the chip in his brain took over the defense of the base. Immediately, more than a dozen trash can-shaped cleaning robots rushed out from all directions, humming and flashing red light.
They forced this group of sissies to follow Jiang Xia into the watchtower.
Ruyue, with a cold face, wearing a wasteland military uniform and holding a laser gun in her hand, saw the boss coming and nodded to him with the attitude of a silent female warrior.
It seems that Rogue has trained Ruyue very well during the five months in the wasteland, and her delicate aura has long been washed away.
"Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid."
Roger held the crying Jasmine in his arms and looked around in horror. He said:
"Uncle Luo will protect you, little Jasmine, don't be afraid, Uncle Luo is here."
"ah!"
Jiang Xia stretched out his hand in despair and slapped his forehead.
We have to quickly restore these guys' memories.
I really can't stand it anymore.
——
Three hours later, in the wasteland base, on the upper floor of the watchtower.
Rogue, who changed back into his wasteland outfit, sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a melancholy look on his face, smoking a cigar in silence, as if he had lost something important in his life.
Behind him, Jiang Xia sat on a chair with an expressionless face.
Jasmine stood next to her boss awkwardly.
There was an extra memory in her mind. The memory reconstructed by Dong Gaogong coexisted with her original memory, making Jasmine feel a little dizzy.
The monk's secret technique is powerful.
This group of memories could not be cleared for the time being, causing Jasmine to doubt her own identity. Perhaps she was really born in Fengming Country in Ku Mu Realm?
Have you been dependent on Uncle Luo since childhood?
"Your world... the waters are very deep."
Roger put down his cigar, rubbed his head with a sigh , and said:
“With a magic technique, you can accomplish what requires sophisticated technology in the wasteland, and you don’t even need to insert it into the brain, you can directly modify people’s memories.
This feeling really is...
It’s hard to describe in words. ”
"Really? Pretty impressive, right? Uncle Luo."
Jiang Xia said this expressionlessly in a stern tone, causing Roger to turn his head and grin at him.
"That name! Don't use it!"
The black fox shouted:
"Don't tell anyone about this."
“It’s not something to be ashamed of.”
Jiang Xia curled his lips and said:
“In fact, I think after I retire, I will have to find that high priest again to do it again, in exchange for some good memories so that I can enjoy life in the future.
But let’s talk about this later.
You are all outer disciples of Mo Shuang Mountain over there. I will talk to Wang Liufu about it, but since we have this relationship, you have to show up in Ku Mu Realm occasionally.
Just like before, I alternate between staying in the two worlds.
Fortunately, because of the speed of time flow, you have enough time to complete the things in the wasteland. I went to Mo Shuang Mountain afterwards. In that place of immortal gate, you should avoid traveling through the world.
There is a great monk over there.
It would be bad if they caught us.
When I get there, I will try to regain my freedom as soon as possible.
But we may not be able to contact each other . During the remaining period of time, I will send a large amount of supplies to you at a frequency of once every three days.
Now that I have a storage ring, it is convenient to send things as gifts.
If you need anything else, make a list and I will try to collect it for you. "
"Um."
Roger nodded, stroking his chin, and said:
“Other things are fine, supplies and such, but the most important thing is drinking water. I have dug a reservoir under the base to store clean water.
During the next meal, the more clean water, food, etc. you bring, the better.
Also, when I replaced your prosthesis before, I suddenly thought of something. Maybe you can find some materials in your weird world that we don't have here.
For example, steel and wood have magical properties.
I have the best energy-conducting steel here, but if you still think it's not good enough for making you a prosthesis, you can just collect the materials yourself and send them here.
I only do processing of supplied materials.”
"OK."
Jiang Xia stood up, stretched his body uncomfortably, and said to Rogge:
"Then I'll take the people back and go to other places. Oh, right, this."
He threw a bag of ashes at Rogue.
explain:
“The spiritual energy has already begun to dissipate. Stop wasting time and burn it up. Consider this as your reward for training Ru Yue for me. You have trained my secretary very well indeed.
There is already a hint of the fierceness I hope to see."
——
"Jasmine, take those chips, prepare the contract, and follow me."
After returning to Ku Mu Realm, Jiang Xia immediately assigned new tasks. The good employee Jasmine rubbed her head, quickly packed up her toolbox, and followed Jiang Xia to the Red Moon World.
This is Jasmine's first time coming here.
When she landed at Helford Manor, she looked around curiously.
This should be a Western-style world. When Jasmine came over, she saw Baroness Hela practicing swordsmanship in the shade of a big tree in the courtyard under the sunshine.
“So beautiful!”
Jasmine said with her eyes wide open.
really.
The Baroness had always been a delicate beauty, and now that she had inherited her mother's ashes bloodline, her previous sickly demeanor had been swept away, and she had become healthy.
She no longer wore that cumbersome lady's long dress and changed into a set of denim clothes.
The long clothes were clung to her body, and the black leather armor could not hide her domineering figure. Her two long legs were wearing riding boots, and her long black hair was tied into a ponytail, bouncing behind her head.
She was holding a rapier.
In every move, there is a feminine spirit that combines gentleness and tenacity.
Under the sunlight, there was sweat on the Baroness's forehead. As she turned around and stabbed with her sword, a ball of white fire flew out from the blade and disappeared after flying a few meters away.
Ruyue, who had changed into a light hunting suit and a cowboy hat and was vigilantly protecting her boss, now curled her lips.
With her perspective from five months of fighting in the wasteland, she could easily tell that the swordsmanship of the baroness in front of her was beautiful.
But it's a bit flashy.
If Ruyue, who now has rich combat experience, takes action, she can be knocked down in five seconds.
The premise is that no supernatural powers are needed.
"Good day, Mr. Witch Hunter from the East."
Helya had just noticed Jiang Xia, the little girl carrying a toolbox, and the appearance of a tall cowgirl. She put the rapier in her hand on the table.
She shook her long hair, took a few steps forward, and extended her hand elegantly towards Jiang Xia.
Lao Jiang also cooperated very well. He took a step forward, took the baroness's hand and kissed her gently.
Kiss the hand.
Just like this doomsday world, it’s full of fancy things.
The relaxed smile on the Baroness's face and her current mental state clearly showed that she had walked out of the shadow of the past. Judging from her agile movements, she should have been hunting monsters with Old Saen during this period.
He already has some of the temperament of a witch hunter.
"Where's old Sarn?"
Jiang Xia pulled out a chair and sat at the regular-style table, looking into the distance. The hired workers were dismantling the castle ruins.
Some people are also building new houses.
It seems that the Baroness is planning to rebuild the manor.
“Uncle Sarn is outside, training Hake and his subordinates. Hake registered his Sars hunting group under the name of the Helford family.
Now, they are my followers in name only.
I also plan to confer some knighthood on them in the future."
The baroness sat opposite Jiang Xia. She fiddled with the ends of her hair, staring at Jiang Xia with her big black and white eyes. She could feel that the aura of this stranger in front of her was much heavier than last time.
This made her a little curious.
She observed Jiang Xia's expression and said:
“But we and I both know who the real owner of this manor is, and the Helford family has found a new partner after more than ten years of decline.
Mr. Jiang, are you here to sign a contract with us this time?"
"Well, we can't delay any longer."
Jiang Xia winked at Jasmine.
The good employee took immediate action. She put on her treasured old goggles and skillfully took out the electric toothbrush-like syringe from the tool box.
To the Baroness:
"The boss's contract may not be what you think, but don't worry, you just need to get a little sleep and everything will go smoothly."
"Um?"
Helya looked at the syringe in Jasmine's hand. The sharp little drill on the top was flashing coldly in the sunlight, giving her a bad feeling.
She looked at Jiang Xia.
Lao Jiang stretched out his finger and tapped his forehead.
explain:
"Consider this as an induction training, my employee Helya."
With full of malice, he opened the box containing the eye prostheses, pushed it to the horrified baroness, and pointed at the cold eye prostheses.
Those lifelike eye prostheses look like real eyeballs dug out by humans, and the pupils can even move.
This box of eyeballs was now all staring at the Baroness, causing her to shudder immediately, as if she was witnessing mental pollution.
In fact, except for some guys who are born bold or have weird hobbies, no one would like this thing ~ just looking at it is exciting enough.
But they are all real high-tech products. Unfortunately, the Black Hand's biotechnology has not yet developed to the level of using biological probes to transform eyeballs into prosthetics. Otherwise, Lao Jiang would not have to bring this box of things every time to scare new employees.
But, to be honest, this process is actually quite interesting and ceremonial, dedicating a part of yourself as a symbol of loyalty and unity.
It feels great just listening to it.
Of course, it also has a cult feel to it.
Lao Jiang blew out a smoke ring and said to her in a leisurely tone:
"What color eyes do you like, Lady Baroness? Green? Or blue? Or purple, which represents mystery?"
"Actually, I think ice blue is a nice color. It's elegant yet a little cold, and it's similar to the color of your pupils. It really suits you."
