Embers Ad Infinitum

tling sounds.

It was only then that Long Yuehong vaguely understood why Slumber Cat stopped sleeping and suddenly went out.

“It’s done.” Genava patted the portable recording device.
“I just don’t know how effective it is.”

Xiaochong had already left his seat and said to Shang Jianyao, “Let’s play games.
They can test the effects themselves.”

As expected, Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen went to the bathroom again.

But compared to before, the amount they expelled was little.
After all, they had yet to produce any.

After about two hours, Jiang Baimian forcefully took Shang Jianyao away under Xiaochong’s reluctant gaze.

In the jeep, Jiang Baimian said thankfully, “I didn’t expect to receive such a harvest.”

Bai Chen deliberated and raised her question.
“The effects of Xiaochong’s voice can also be recorded by electronic products…
I wonder if this is a characteristic shared by powerhouses at their level or if he and Wu Meng belong to the same domain?”

This was something Shang Jianyao couldn’t do at the moment.
He could only rely on the loudspeaker to extend his range slightly.

“It’s also possible that the corresponding basic abilities interfere with electromagnetism and not with matter.” Jiang Baimian recalled the Mind Corridor information she had.

“But they are much, much stronger than DiMarco.” Long Yuehong meant that even if these two weren’t Awakened, they were at least equivalent to those who had explored the Mind Corridor’s depths based on their strength.
They might even be equipped with both basic abilities.

As the only relatively normal Mind Corridor-level Awakened that the Old Task Force had encountered head-on, DiMarco was naturally used as a comparison.

The Clam Dragon Church’s Superior Heartless lacked sufficient intelligence, so he definitely couldn’t unleash his full strength.

“DiMarco’s condition wasn’t good either,” Jiang Baimian said simply.

“That’s right.” Shang Jianyao agreed with this.
“Let’s stop talking about him.
He later gave us plenty of contributions.”

He was referring to the Destiny Pearl.

Genava in the backseat said, “The two most important questions now are: First, why didn’t the Virtual World’s owner notice that we were recording? Second, how do we make Marcus the only one that needs to use the bathroom?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baimian was stunned.
“Wait a minute; why did we get Xiaochong to record the sound to urge urination? We could’ve totally gotten him to record the sound of hypnosis! As long as the Virtual World’s owner is affected and dozes off for more than ten seconds, we can achieve our goal through Destiny Pearl!”

In the end, the Old Task Force spent a Herculean effort only to go one big circle to send Marcus to the bathroom.

Bai Chen and Long Yuehong looked at each other.
There was only one thought in their minds: We were affected by Shang Jianyao…

“Isn’t that good?” Shang Jianyao—who was in charge of driving—indeed felt that this was the perfect step.

“Shall we go back and get Xiaochong to record again?” Long Yuehong suggested.

Jiang Baimian slowly shook her head.
“He already felt quite forced this time…”

If they went to trouble him again, he might turn hostile.

After some thought, Jiang Baimian deliberated and said, “Actually, there’s some feasibility now.
We can include Xiaochong’s voice in a song as background music.
When the time comes, we can pretend to be bored and play it.”

“Alright!” Shang Jianyao couldn’t wait.

Jiang Baimian continued, “Besides, this is a child’s voice.
It doesn’t belong to Wu Meng, so it won’t be sensed immediately…
The recording definitely won’t be as effective as the original.
Even if it garners a reaction from the Virtual World’s owner, he will definitely be the last one.
By the time he discovers it, Marcus would’ve already gone to the bathroom.

“Among the nobles in the VIP room, Marcus seems to be the only one who drinks the least water or doesn’t even drink at all.
He definitely pays attention to such matters before setting off.
Therefore, he should be the one who can hold it in for a longer period of time.
He will most likely be among the last few to go.
I only hope that there aren’t any suspected powerhouses in the room, such as General Phocas from before.
Otherwise, we won’t be able to control the tempo.

“This can be handled flexibly.
If it really doesn’t work out, we won’t play the recorded music at the gladiator fight the day after tomorrow and wait for the next one.”

“Alright.” Shang Jianyao slapped the car horn.

Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Genava seriously thought about it and helped find flaws in the various details.

…

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the next gladiator fight at the colosseum.

The Old Task Force disguised themselves and came to the venue’s vicinity again.

Jiang Baimian waved the silver-white phone in her hand.
“Old Ge, remember the agreed signal.
Cut the power supply circuit as soon as the time comes.”

“Alright.” This mission wasn’t difficult for Genava.

Jiang Baimian then said to Bai Chen, “Try not to expose yourself when taking the vantage point in the distance unless we meet problems with our evacuation.
If things don’t work out, read the letter I gave you.”

The vantage point didn’t allow her to see the nobles’ VIP room.
She could only monitor the escape route.

Bai Chen nodded and touched the Orange rifle beside her.

“Phew…” Jiang Baimian exhaled and said to Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong, “Let’s go in.”
