Squid Who Loves Diving
Chapter 862 "Awake"
She looked left and right, and seeing that there was no one around, she lowered her voice and said:
"What kind of reward can you offer?"
"Reward?" Shang Jianyao wore an expression that said, "Talking about money hurts feelings."
"Lending items is a business in itself." Gittis seemed to lose focus for a moment, as if controlling another body, before saying, "And, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have agreed to this deal at all."
A merchant should have the professional ethics of a merchant.
An intelligence merchant is also a merchant.
Jiang Baimian thought for a moment and said:
"A biological agent that can possibly cure your father and mother's illnesses, or a comprehensive genetic modification agent, you can choose either one.
"Well, that kind of genetic modification agent doesn't increase the amplitude as much as the newest type, and there won't be any exaggerated changes, but it's better because the overall strength will increase, and there are no after-effects. Also, at your age, the effect is relatively ordinary, not that good."
Jiang Baimian had already figured out where to get similar items:
Apply to the company!
The task of finding the specific location of the Eighth Research Institute was approved by "Pangu Biology," and the board of directors wanted results. Moreover, the "Old Task Force" didn't have any selfish intentions, so Jiang Baimian dared to report the key points of the matter without hesitation and put forward her needs.
Hearing her description, Gittis hardly hesitated:
"I'll take the first one.
"Does it cure both my father and mother's illnesses at the same time, or can it only cure one person?"
Compared to a comprehensive genetic modification agent, she preferred the familiar ones, after all, she had already considered the combinations, and those had fewer age restrictions, as long as she was under forty.
As for the troubles of old age, she had long been mentally prepared.
"It can cure both." Jiang Baimian made a promise.
She glanced at Gittis's backpack and added with a smile:
"But, who knows, this kind of biological agent might restore some of your mother's body and stabilize her condition.
"Well... no medicine is omnipotent. We need to find a time to see your father and mother and give them a detailed examination so that we can choose the most suitable biological agent."
The task of physical examination would undoubtedly be undertaken by the omnipotent Genaeva.
"No problem." Gittis nodded. "I feel more at ease when you say that."
If they didn't do any examination and directly said that their biological agents could definitely cure her parents' illnesses, Gittis would probably suspect that she had met a swindler.
Jiang Baimian nodded slightly:
"Then let's arrange a time.
"Also, it may take ten days to half a month to get the corresponding biological agent."
If they were lucky, the personnel that "Pangu Biology" had placed in the "White Knights" happened to have the corresponding supplies, or they themselves worked in a biological laboratory and could prepare the medicine themselves, then they might be able to deliver the goods to the "Old Task Force" in three to five days. If they were unlucky and had to transfer the goods from the underground building, half a month would be considered short.
Gittis understood this very well.
Sometimes, she had to wait more than a week to buy medicine for her parents because Gersterburg might not have it and it had to be purchased from the "White Knights" headquarters.
"Before receiving the reward, you need to leave the military exoskeleton device as collateral with me," Gittis emphasized.
"Okay." Jiang Baimian planned to give Gittis the oldest model.
Shang Jianyao then smiled and stretched out his right hand to Gittis:
"Deal!"
He added "Thought Implantation" to this sentence to prevent Gittis from going back on her word.
Gittis was stunned for a few seconds. When she was freed from other matters, she reached out her right hand and shook hands with Shang Jianyao:
"Deal."
Then, she said thoughtfully:
"At that time, I will still control the Bodhi statue, but use it according to your needs."
Her meaning was very simple, she was not very comfortable handing over such a valuable and magical item to the "Old Task Force," and planned to participate in the corresponding matters herself to provide assistance.
"That's very dangerous," Shang Jianyao sincerely reminded. "You might have to leave Gersterburg and go deep into the ice plains, and you won't be back for several days."
Gittis thought for a while and said somewhat hesitantly:
"Within a three-kilometer radius of Gersterburg, I have no problem.
"If I really have to go to the ice plains... I can hand over the statue to you."
Once she exceeded the distance, the consciousness in her other bodies would be forcibly retrieved, and at that time, those who should have died long ago would die on the spot.
But in order to cure her parents' illnesses, she was willing to take the risk of losing the Bodhi statue and other avatars.
"Even in Gersterburg, it's still very dangerous." Shang Jianyao still didn't quite agree, looking like a true friend who was thinking of her.
"Yes," Jiang Baimian echoed.
Gittis showed that kind of mysterious smile with a slightly unfocused look in her eyes:
"It's okay, I won't participate in person, but I'll have a body take the statue to assist you.
"That way, if something really happens, it won't affect me personally."
Shang Jianyao let out a voice of admiration:
"'Divine Mirror Communication' plus 'Fate Communication' are really too useful!"
"That's fine too," Jiang Baimian nodded.
After finalizing this matter, Gittis and the "Old Task Force" agreed on when to give her parents a checkup and turned to leave.
Just then, Shang Jianyao stopped her and asked curiously:
"I have a question. If you have several consciousnesses, and I only use my ability on one consciousness, will it affect the other consciousnesses in other bodies?"
Gittis showed that mysterious smile again:
"No, unless that consciousness in that body happens to be within the range of your ability.
"If my other consciousnesses hadn't been asleep and resting last night, and couldn't give feedback in time, I would have noticed something was wrong soon and gotten rid of your influence, and wouldn't have had to wait until this morning."
Shang Jianyao suddenly understood:
"No wonder you only talked about business just now and didn't talk about friendship!"
He looked regretful.
"If there was no friendship, I wouldn't have listened to the details of this deal at all," Gittis retorted on the spot.
She didn't say she wouldn't have agreed, because she couldn't refuse the reward offered by the "Old Task Force."
Jiang Baimian stopped the two from getting entangled in this question and chuckled:
"No wonder Esther still knew the client was Mohr even though her memory had been deleted."
This was because only the consciousness occupying Esther's body had its memory deleted, and she had "Fate Communication" to resist a little, while Gittis's main body and other bodies, which had long since synchronized their memories, still remembered the corresponding content.
Gittis didn't say anything more, and staggered away, returning home like a sleepwalker.
…………
Gersterburg, in a block near the outer fortifications.
Murr and Benito stayed in the safe house, waiting for the time to return.
The Eighth Research Institute was quite efficient. They had already told them a few days ago that the mission was over and they could return to headquarters, and they had agreed with the pick-up person on the time and place to meet.
Considering that entering the ice plains required sufficient supplies, Murr and Benito were not in a hurry to leave Gersterburg. The former, who was not wanted, went out every day to buy necessities and took the opportunity to inform Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others of the corresponding matters.
"We can leave the day after tomorrow." Murr glanced at the swaying tree roots in the room, threw himself into the sofa, and turned on the old radio next to him.
Gersterburg had sufficient power supply and cheap electricity bills. Residents were happy to use electrical appliances where they could.
The only problem was that the "White Knights" lacked corresponding production lines in this regard, and the focus of annual imports was not on these either. Residents could only collect electrical appliances from the surrounding city ruins.
And among those electrical appliances, the easiest to repair and reassemble were radios, so Gersterburg had its own radio station.
One of Murr's daily pastimes was listening to the radio.
At this time, the radio station was playing a story program, and he listened with great interest, guessing the subsequent development.
After Benito vented his anger, he removed the "Invisibility" effect and sat next to him.
This story came from an old world novel, about a careless undercover agent who went to the enemy to gather intelligence, making all kinds of jokes, but after experiencing many dangers, he eventually completed the task by mistake.
"Too ridiculous!" Murr raised his hand and wiped away the tears from his laughter. "He dared to collect intelligence without even knowing who the enemy was or where they were. If he hadn't been lucky enough, he would have been caught and hanged!"
"This is just a comedy story." Benito's mood was also quite good at the moment.
The next second, the two were stunned at the same time.
They thought of something, something similar to this story:
That team that was said to have been solemnly invited to help eliminate the opposition within the research institute didn't even know where the research institute was!
And they wanted to find the specific location of the research institute through the two of them!
This was simply ridiculous!
Murr and Benito slowly exchanged glances, and expressions of horror gradually appeared on their faces.
