Seeing Shang Jianyao's performance, Jiang Baimian shuddered, as if driving out a "soul" or thought that didn't belong to her.
Lehman looked left and right in confusion, puzzled by Shang Jianyao's such large and strange reaction.
It was clear that he didn't have the idea of protecting anyone's safety right now.
"There's something wrong with the words just now." Genaeva analyzed the abnormality from his companion's situation and solemnly reminded them.
Jiang Baimian withdrew her gaze from Shang Jianyao and turned it to the radio.
The magnetic male voice still echoed in the room through the speakers.
"Now that the grand principles are explained, let's get back to the main topic.
"In the field of electronics, all the basics are 0 and 1. These can be combined into different numbers, and can also represent yes and no, on and off, series and parallel...
"0, 1, and the large number of states derived from them constitute the entire electronic world...
"This is so similar to the Dao. Yin, Yang, and the many things derived from them constitute this world. As the saying goes, the Dao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things...
"When repairing different electrical appliances, as long as you can grasp the inner Dao, any problem will become simple..."
This later part doesn't have the peculiar effect it had just now... Jiang Baimian, who was prepared to cover her ears, frowned slightly and said:
"Let's go out first.
"Lao Ge, you stay here, record the content played later, and also detect the approximate location of the radio station."
"Okay." Genaeva sat down like a golden horse.
His butt was actually just barely touching the chair.
After leaving Richardson's room, Jiang Baimian closed the wooden door smoothly to prevent the strange radio's voice from spreading out.
"Are you awake?" She immediately looked at Shang Jianyao.
Shang Jianyao shook his head frankly:
"No."
He explained further with a smile:
"But it only affects one of us. We'll have a meeting later, chat about it, and the problem will be solved."
...Your own problems are much more serious than this one... In front of outsiders, Jiang Baimian didn't respond like that, so as not to stimulate Shang Jianyao and cause a split in the still harmonious "Shang Jianyao group".
"Is there a problem?" Lehman looked at them in confusion, asking in his still awkward Ashlands language.
Jiang Baimian glanced at Long Daer and the others:
"I'll answer you later."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shang Jianyao had already walked towards Lehman's men, asking with a beaming smile:
"Have you been listening to the radio lately?
"Any good private radio stations to recommend?"
Long Daer replied in a very relaxed manner:
"I didn't listen to it before, but after listening to it with Richardson twice, I thought it was quite interesting. Something about electrical appliance repair, both practical and fun..."
Shang Jianyao was immediately excited:
"Is it 'Dao and Electrical Appliance Repair'?"
"Yes, yes, yes, have you heard it too?" Long Daer asked in a tone of finding a kindred spirit.
Shang Jianyao asked instead of answering:
"Have you all heard it?"
"Yeah, when we arrived at First City, we couldn't go home when we were resting, and we couldn't go out to have fun, so we wouldn't be able to protect the boss in time. We could only stay in the room and watch TV shows and listen to the radio with Richardson. Sigh, there are only two or three TV channels, and there are few programs..." Long Daer babbled.
Shang Jianyao looked like he agreed:
"When you get to First City, how can you not go to the bathhouse? You can take a steam bath, soak in a hot bath, and you can also eat buffet, read books and newspapers, watch performances, and get massages..."
Hearing this, Lehman vaguely understood what was going on.
He looked at Jiang Baimian with undisguised astonishment, and said in a low voice:
"Richardson and Long Daer have problems because they listened to that radio station?"
The radio station owner named Wu Meng didn't show up. Separated by an unknown distance, he only relied on wireless radio broadcasting to make the bodyguards around him become strangers, become strange, and work together to put him under house arrest?
This, this is too unbelievable, right?
Just thinking about such a thing made Lehman's legs tremble a little.
He wasn't an ordinary person, but an arms dealer who was used to fighting, but he was still frightened by Wu Meng's almost godlike performance.
Jiang Baimian didn't hide anything, and said thoughtfully:
"It seems to be the case at the moment. We were almost affected by that 'Dao and Electrical Appliance Repair' radio station just now. You seem to be fine?"
The strange radio station, the mysterious host, and the silent and unannounced change in thinking together formed a chilling and thought-provoking thing.
Fortunately, Jiang Baimian had imagined that Shang Jianyao's "Reasoning Clown" ability could be improved to the extreme, and he could mislead the target through methods similar to making phone calls, successfully realizing his intentions. This strange radio station just took this idea a step further, so she wouldn't be panicked.
But in any case, the person named Wu Meng was powerful and terrifying.
Facing Jiang Baimian's question, Lehman shook his head:
"When I was listening to the radio, I didn't feel anything wrong..."
He then muttered to himself:
"No, there is one thing. I even thought about protecting someone in the middle, you, you know, Lars is already dead."
He changed "you" to "you all" because Shang Jianyao had come back.
"The focus of that sentence is 'protection' and 'safety'?" Jiang Baimian said to herself, not expecting an answer, "It's not certain that this is the case for the time being. We need to ask Richardson first."
She looked at Shang Jianyao when she said the last part.
About two minutes later, Richardson, who had been awakened and thrown out of the room by Genaeva, hooked up with Shang Jianyao and laughed.
This time, Shang Jianyao used "Reasoning Clown" again, without wasting the power of the "Destiny Bead".
"I also love listening to radio programs, especially ghost stories." Shang Jianyao asked seriously, "Do you have any recommendations?"
Richardson thought about it seriously and said:
"The most recommended one is in our 'United Industries'. I and a few like-minded people have created a radio station ourselves, mainly talking about the daily life of the company's middle and lower-level employees. Many people love to listen to it.
"In First City, the official radio station has a program called 'Awakening Your Ears' every late night, mainly about various erotic stories from the Old World and the current era. The hostess's voice is soft and delicate..."
As he spoke, he showed a "you know" expression.
Because Jiang Baimian was next to him, he didn't go into detail, but turned to say:
"A few private radio stations play music, some promote certain religions, and some entice you to go to casinos. They're not very interesting. There's only one radio station called 'Dao and Electrical Appliance Repair'. The announcer speaks interestingly, has solid professional knowledge, and is not bad."
"How did you discover this radio station?" Jiang Baimian interjected and asked.
Richardson replied truthfully:
"I just randomly tuned the frequency and found it by accident.
"I do similar things every time I go to a big city."
This, it's not aimed at Lehman? Or, knowing that Richardson has this habit, they specifically adopted this method? But isn't this too complicated? Can someone who can accomplish this not deal with Richardson and Lehman's other bodyguards? Jiang Baimian frowned even more tightly.
She looked at Lehman and asked solemnly:
"What are you mainly doing in First City this time?"
Lehman didn't dare to hide anything and said with a puzzled expression:
"Besides trading with you, it's selling a batch of arms to a big client.
"This deal has been completed and there were no problems. Only then did we move here."
He was also very puzzled by this encounter, spread out his hands, and continued:
"If they wanted to take away the military exoskeleton device and mechanical arm left for you, it's been a few days and there's been no movement at all.
"If they were planning to kidnap me, put me under house arrest, and get ransom, intelligence, or some evidence from me, why only affect Richardson, Long Daer, and the others, and not target me?"
Jiang Baimian nodded and helped add:
"And they gave you a certain amount of freedom, allowing you to find a chance to send a telegram."
Lehman's heart stirred:
"The target is you?"
"That's what I was hoping for, sigh." Shang Jianyao was very regretful.
Jiang Baimian continued:
"Let's not mention that no one in First City should know that we know each other and are conducting a transaction. Even if someone around you leaked this information, the development of the matter is not quite right. At least so far, we haven't felt any danger. The only radio station influence is also a difficulty that can be overcome for our team."
A difficulty that can be overcome... Lehman looked at Richardson, Long Daer, and the others, and the polite smile on his face became more sincere.
After thinking about it, he decided that after returning, no matter what the cost, he would order a bodyguard robot from "Mechanical Paradise" through Redstone Collection as soon as possible.
"What exactly does the owner of that radio station want to do?" Lehman asked carefully.
Jiang Baimian paced back and forth a few steps, thought about it, and said:
"Maybe the target isn't you, or even a specific target."
"What?" Lehman was very puzzled.
Shang Jianyao immediately helped Jiang Baimian explain:
"This is called indiscriminate killing!"
No one has died yet... Lehman was also a person who had seen storms, and roughly understood what Jiang Baimian and the others wanted to say:
"You mean, the owner of that radio station has been influencing potential listeners through radio broadcasts, regardless of their identity, where they come from, or what they want to do, and we just happened to encounter it?"
This misfortune came from Richardson's hobby.
The more this guess was said, the more frightened Lehman became. He even had a scene in his mind:
A mysterious existence, maybe not even human, is influencing and changing listeners' cognition and thinking day after day through a radio station that can only be found by chance...
"We can only say that this possibility is very high." Jiang Baimian didn't give a definite answer to Lehman's guess.
After waiting for a while, Genaeva opened the door to Richardson's room and walked out:
"The radio broadcast is over. The rest is relatively pure electrical appliance repair knowledge, mixed with a bit of Dao theory. There's nothing special about it, and there are no strange wave mixtures.
"Of course, I'm not you carbon-based humans, so I can't be sure if this is really okay, but everything that should be recorded has been recorded."
Jiang Baimian nodded and asked directly:
"Have you detected the approximate location of the radio station?"
Genaeva moved his metal-cast neck up and down:
"It's probably somewhere at the intersection of the North Bank Mountains and the wasteland, northeastward, and no more than forty kilometers in a straight line from here.
"By comparing it with the map, it's preliminarily confirmed that it belongs to an Old World city ruin, designated as 13 by First City."
