Seeing Shang Jianyao’s smile and hearing his promise, Genava nodded:
"Is it relying on that Awakened ability you mentioned?"
"Yes." Shang Jianyao was very frank.
Jiang Baimian next to him regretted it again, feeling that she shouldn't have started this topic.
But she was very clear that avoidance wouldn't solve the problem, so she had to perk up and said with her mind racing:
"This plan does have some feasibility.
"As long as we can break through the outer defense system of 'Underground Ark' and sneak inside, things will be much simpler."
Following this direction, Jiang Baimian deduced the subsequent development with an attitude of also participating, so as to enhance the persuasiveness later:
"We all know very well that the organizational structure of 'Underground Ark' is very simple. Di Marco, as the owner, occupies the core position and firmly grasps the power by setting up multiple butlers and several guard captains to treat guards and servants separately.
"This makes Di Marco's rule seem quite stable. We will face a large number of enemies equipped with advanced weapons and an unknown number of Awakened, but in fact, this organizational structure has a fatal weakness. As long as we can seize it, we may be able to use the smallest cost and the shortest time to disintegrate this fortress."
Shang Jianyao didn't doubt Jiang Baimian's change of attitude at all, and said with a smile:
"That fatal weakness is Di Marco."
Hearing this, Genava had automatically matched some cases from the Old World and analyzed what Jiang Baimian wanted to express.
"Decapitation tactics?" he asked for confirmation.
He enjoyed this kind of discussion very much now, feeling that he had really become a human being and was sparking the flames of wisdom with his companions.
Jiang Baimian nodded slightly and said with a smile:
"Yes, as long as we can sneak into 'Underground Ark' without causing any commotion, we can directly raid Di Marco's residence and try to defeat the defensive forces around him in a very short time and control him.
"At that time, we will state our purpose, express that we have no interest in the power change of 'Underground Ark' and the ownership of most of the property, and can let the guards and servants establish a brand-new ark where they share power and take over the corresponding business channels. Then I believe that with Di Marco's usual brutality and irritability, except for a few people who are extremely loyal or who have killed too many servants and are completely tied to him, everyone else will turn to us.
"Moreover, inside the Ark, because there are terrain restrictions, many heavy firepower weapons cannot be used, and the distance between each other cannot be widened. Shang Jianyao's 'Hands-Action Deficiency' can play the greatest role."
Clap clap clap, Shang Jianyao applauded:
"This plan is very feasible."
Jiang Baimian rolled her eyes at him:
"This plan also has a fatal flaw.
"That is, does Di Marco himself have any big secrets hidden?"
Her expression gradually became serious:
"The defensive forces around Di Marco's residence, for our 'Old Task Force', as long as there are no accidents, they should be able to be resolved in a short time. At most, they can keep two to three sets of military exoskeletons, one to two Awakened, and seven or eight ordinary guards at all times. This is within our ability.
"But what about Di Marco himself? What confidence does he have to dare to meet us alone in the room?"
Jiang Baimian's speculation on the defensive forces around Di Marco came from the situation of the last meeting:
When Di Marco walked out of the "safe zone" and made it clear that he wanted to meet outsiders, there were only two new military exoskeletons and six ordinary guards nearby. Then, when he usually stayed in the depths of "Underground Ark," the surrounding defensive forces must be no more than that.
After all, people get tired and need to be rotated.
At the same time, Jiang Baimian also believed that there were no Awakened at the "Mind Corridor" level inside "Underground Ark," because the power of such people had surpassed the norm and could not be dealt with by the guards around Di Marco.
If so, why didn't he directly replace Di Marco and become the owner of "Underground Ark" instead of working for him?
- At least from the current point of view, the Vigilance Church doesn't care too much about who rules "Underground Ark" as long as the owner of "Underground Ark" believes in "You Gu."
Seeing that Shang Jianyao and Genava didn't speak, Jiang Baimian raised the question again:
"What if Di Marco himself is also a powerhouse? A mutated Subhuman, an Awakened who has reached a certain level, and so on, and so on.
"One of the most extreme examples: Di Marco's strength is close to Yan Hu. He cares about Yan Hu's current state and is looking for the future path, the door to the New World."
In that case, the "Old Task Force's" "Decapitation Operation" would become a meat bun hitting a dog, with no return.
- After seeing Di Marco last time and hearing his various weird performances, Jiang Baimian had various doubts and speculations. At this time, she just took out a guess that she thought was the most shocking and could shock Shang Jianyao the most.
Shang Jianyao responded to Jiang Baimian's gaze and smiled:
"So far, the ability brought by Subhuman mutation cannot compare with the Awakened at the 'Mind Corridor' level.
"Then let's assume that Di Marco is a powerhouse who has explored the depths of the 'Mind Corridor'..."
As he said that, he smiled brightly and reached out to pat Genava's shoulder:
"And we have an Awakened nemesis.
"As long as Di Marco's ability is not to interfere with the environment, then he cannot affect Genava."
Speaking of this, the corners of Shang Jianyao's mouth became more and more obvious:
"If you are still not at ease, let's go to the Lake Heart Island again. I don't think Yan Hu can return with the help of Genava's mind world. He doesn't have this thing at all.
"In other words, we can take away that branch bracelet if it is still there."
Looking at Shang Jianyao's smile, Jiang Baimian suddenly had a realization:
Now is a dangerous and somewhat crazy Shang Jianyao.
The next second, Genava spoke:
"Our internal information mentioned one thing: When encountering a powerful Awakened, even as a smart person, you must be cautious enough."
"So, as long as you are cautious enough, there is no problem?" Shang Jianyao asked with a smile.
Jiang Baimian was thinking about the meaning of Genava's words:
"Some Awakened abilities can affect smart people. This is not limited to hallucinations that distort environmental information?"
She had a hard time understanding the principle. After all, smart people don't have human consciousness at all, so they can't be the target of Awakened abilities.
She could only think that there were many Awakened abilities that directly affected the environment and interfered with reality, and this would become more and more obvious at the "Mind Corridor" level.
Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao and said after careful consideration:
"This plan does have some feasibility, but it needs to be treated step by step and decide whether to continue based on the situation."
After saying this, she felt inexplicably relaxed:
"I now approve you to make the first attempt: find an 'insider'.
"How do you plan to do it when the butlers are vigilant enough and will no longer easily contact you?"
Shang Jianyao had already had an idea and said with a pleasant expression:
"Go to Iron Mountain and guard the body dumpers."
This refers to the guards who discard and bury the corpses of servants through the Iron Mountain entrance and exit of "Underground Ark."
It's the same as I expected... Well, if no one comes out to dump the body in these three days, the plan will terminate by itself... If there is, then it is likely that Di Marco killed another servant and showed his brutality, which should be "acting for the heavens." This may be fate... At that time, arrange less risky tasks for Xiao Bai and Xiao Hong... Jiang Baimian slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Before that, let's go to the church first and find out the attitude of the Vigilance Church from Song the Warner."
This place is being watched by the Value-Bringing Star "You Gu!"
"Okay!" Shang Jianyao agreed eagerly.
…………
Inside the church with large areas of red interspersed with golden yellow, the huge symbol and the female figure hidden behind the half-covered white door once again gave Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and others a solemn and dangerous feeling.
Standing under the "You Gu" holy emblem was Antonio, the new bishop of Red Stone Town.
He was over 1.8 meters tall and looked quite strong even in a black cloak.
Except for his hairless head, his facial features were covered by a minimalist mask.
The mask seemed to be made of white cardboard, with holes punched out for the eyes, nose, and mouth.
"May your vigilance last forever." Antonio looked at the "Old Task Force," raised his hands, clasped them in front of his chest, and then took a step back.
Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, and others responded with a slight bow.
"Distance is our friend." Only Shang Jianyao in the entire "Old Task Force" returned the salute in the manner of the Vigilance Church.
Antonio's gaze swept across the masks on their faces, and he said with a smile:
"Thank you for your previous help to the church and to Red Stone Town."
He used a relatively unfamiliar Ashlands language, which he seemed to have only mastered in the past few years.
"You recognize us?" Shang Jianyao asked in "shock."
Antonio was stunned for a moment and said:
"The news of your return to Red Stone Town spread last night."
As expected of a place where vigilance and hiding are used as folklore... Jiang Baimian sighed amusingly in her heart.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, she asked directly:
"I wonder if Song the Warner is here?"
Antonio turned his body to the side and pointed to the rear diagonally:
"I have sent someone to invite him. Is there anything you want to see him about?"
"Visiting a friend." Shang Jianyao answered easily, happily, and very sincerely.
Antonio smiled:
"You shouldn't blindly trust friends either."
Jiang Baimian was sighing that this bishop was preaching all the time when Song He, who was not wearing a mask, walked into the hall.
His face still had few wrinkles, only his sideburns were a little gray.
"You returned so quickly?" Song He first bowed to Antonio, and then asked Jiang Baimian and others.
"The main purpose was achieved ahead of schedule." Jiang Baimian explained simply.
At this time, Shang Jianyao looked around:
"Did Vieri hide again?"
Song He's slightly sparse eyebrows moved slightly, and he was silent for a few seconds before saying:
"He hasn't appeared for two days."
