Chapter 393: Radio Station

Upon seeing Shang Jianyaos performance, Jiang Baimian jolted. It was as if a soul that didnt belong to her had been expelled from her bodyor rather, a thought.

Lehman looked around in confusion, confused by Shang Jianyaos strange reaction. It was obvious that he had nobody he desperately wanted to protect at the moment.

Theres something wrong with that sentence. Genava analyzed the anomaly from his companions situation and reminded them solemnly.

Jiang Baimian retracted her gaze from Shang Jianyao and cast it at the radio.

The magnetic mans voice still echoed in the room through the loudspeaker. Ive finished explaining the principles. Lets return to the topic at hand.

In the field of electronics, the fundamentals are in 0s and 1s. This can combine into different numbers, and it can also represent true and false, on and off, serial and parallel

0, 1, and the large number of states they produce form the entire electronic world

This is very similar to the Dao. Yin, Yang, and the many things they produce form this world. As the saying goes, the Dao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things

When repairing different appliances, any problem will become simple as long as one can grasp the hidden underlying

The latter part doesnt have that strange effect

Jiang Baimianwho was prepared to cover her earsfrowned and said, Lets go out first. Old Ge, stay here and record the content that is broadcast later. At the same time, figure out the radio stations approximate location.

Alright. Genava sat downhis butt only touching the chair by a sliver.

After leaving Richardsons room, Jiang Baimian closed the wooden door to prevent the strange radios sounds from transmitting out.

Are you awake? She then looked at Shang Jianyao.

Shang Jianyao shook his head frankly. No.

He smiled and explained further, But it only affected one of us. Ill have a meeting later and have a chat. The problem will be resolved.

Your problem is much more serious than that problem

Jiang Baimian didnt respond in front of outsiders.

Of course, she wouldnt do so under normal circumstances to prevent agitating Shang Jianyao and causing the relatively harmonious Shang Jianyaos to split.

Is there a problem? Lehman looked at them in confusion and asked in his awkward Ashlandic.

Jiang Baimian looked at Rondar and the others. Ill answer you later.

Just as she said that, Shang Jianyao walked toward Lehmans subordinates and asked with a smile, Have you listened to the radio recently? Any good private radio station recommendations?

Rondar replied in a rather relaxed manner, I didnt listen to the radio in the past, but I listened in with Richardson twice and found it rather interesting. Its about appliances and maintenance. Its practical and fun

Shang Jianyao was immediately excited. Is it the Dao and Electronic Appliance Repairs?

Yes, yes, yes. You listened in too? Rondar asked in a tone that suggested he had found something in common.

Shang Jianyao didnt answer and asked, All of you listened in before?

Thats right. Here in First City, we arent able to go home outside working hours. We also cant go out to have fun, or else we wont be able to protect our boss in time. We can only stay in our rooms to watch television programs and listen to the radio with Richardson. Sigh, there are only two or three channels on television, and there arent many programs Rondar rambled.

Shang Jianyao gave a look of agreement. After arriving in First City, how can you not go to the bathhouse? Not only can you enjoy a sauna and take a hot bath, but you can also eat a buffet, read newspapers, watch performances, and get a massage

Upon hearing this, Lehman vaguely understood what was going on. He couldnt hide his surprise as he looked at Jiang Baimian and suppressed his voice. Did the problem with Richardson, Rondar, and the others happen because they listened to that radio station?

The radio stations owner named Wu Meng didnt show his face; yet, by simply using a radio broadcast from an unknown distance, he had made the bodyguards around him unfamiliar and strange. They had worked together to put him under house arrest?

I-Isnt this too unbelievable?

Just the thought of this made Lehmans legs tremble. He was no ordinary person but an arms dealer accustomed to combat. However, he was still shocked by Wu Mengs almost godlike performance.

Jiang Baimian didnt hide anything and thought for a moment before saying, From the looks of it, we were almost affected by the Dao and Electric Appliances Repairs radio station. You seem fine?

The strange radio station and the mysterious host surreptitiously changed their minds without warning. Together, all these factors combined into a terrifying matter.

Fortunately, Jiang Baimian had once imagined that after Shang Jianyaos Inference Clowning ability was raised to its limits, he could successfully achieve the goal of misleading a target with a similar method by making a call. This strange radio station had only advanced this idea a step further. Therefore, she didnt panic.

But no matter what, the person named Wu Meng was terrifyingly powerful.

In the face of Jiang Baimians question, Lehman shook his head. There was nothing wrong with me when I listened to the radio

He then muttered to himself, No, there was a little. I actually thought of protecting someone midway. As you all of you know, Lars is already dead.

He had changed the term you to all of you because Shang Jianyao had walked back.

The focus of that sentence is protection and safety?' Jiang Baimian muttered to herself and replied without any anticipation, We arent sure thats the case for the time being. We need to ask Richardson first.

As she spoke, she looked at Shang Jianyao.

About two minutes later, Shang Jianyao and Richardsonwho had been thrown out of the room after being woken up by Genavahad their arms wrapped around each others shoulders as they giggled.

This time, Shang Jianyao still used Inference Clowning to not waste Destiny Pearls powers.

I also like to listen to radio programs, especially those that broadcast ghost stories. Shang Jianyao asked seriously, What recommendations do you have?

Richardson seriously thought for a moment and said, The most recommended one is from our United Industries. I established a radio station with a few fellow enthusiasts, and it mainly talks about the daily lives of the companys middle and lower-ranking employees. Many people like it. As for First City, theres a program called Awakening Your Ears every night on the official radio. It mainly talks about the Old World and all kinds of erotic stories in the current era. The female anchors voice is soft and sweet

As he spoke, he revealed a you get what I mean expression.

As Jiang Baimian was beside him, he didnt go into detail and said, There are a few private radio stations that play music, promote certain religions, and entice you to go to the casinos. They arent too interesting, but theres a radio station called Dao and Electrical Appliances Repairs. The radio host is interesting, and his professional knowledge is excellent. Its not bad.

How did you discover this radio station? Jiang Baimian interrupted and asked.

Richardson replied truthfully, I was randomly tuning the frequencies and accidentally discovered it. I do such things in every large city.

This wasnt targeted at Lehman, or did they specially use such a method knowing that Richardson had such a habit? But isnt this too complicated? How can someone who can do such a thing not be able to deal with Richardson and Lehmans other bodyguards?

Jiang Baimian furrowed her brows even more tightly.

She looked at Lehman and asked seriously, Whats the purpose of your visit to First City?

Lehman didnt dare to hide anything and said with a confused expression, Apart from transacting with you, its to sell a batch of firearms to a large client. The deal has been completednothing happened. We only moved here after that.

He was also very confused about this encounter. He spread his hands and continued, If they want to take away the military exoskeleton and mechanical arm I reserved for you, its been a few days, but nothing has happened. If they plan on kidnapping me and placing me under house arrest to obtain ransom, intelligence, or some evidence from me, why did they only affect Richardson, Rondar, and the others, but not me?

Jiang Baimian nodded and added, They also gave you a certain level of freedom, giving you an opportunity to send a telegram.

Lehmans heart palpitated. The target is you?

Thats what Im looking forward to. Sigh. Shang Jianyao felt very regretful.

Jiang Baimian then said, Ignoring the fact that nobody in First City should know that we know each other and have a transaction to close, the development of the matter isnt right even if someone beside you leaks this information. At least until now, we havent sensed any danger other than the radio stations influence. Even so, its a difficulty our team can overcome.

A difficulty that you can overcome

Lehman looked at Richardson, Rondar, and the others, and the polite smile on his face became increasingly sincere.

He thought for a moment and decided that he would reserve a bodyguard robot from Mechanical Paradise as soon as possible through Redstone Collection, no matter the price.

What does the radio station owner want? Lehman asked after some deliberation.

Jiang Baimian paced around and thought for a moment. Maybe the target isnt you. Maybe he doesnt even have a specific target.

What? Lehman was confused.

Shang Jianyao immediately helped Jiang Baimian explain. This is called indiscriminate killing!

Nobody has died yet

Lehman was also an experienced person. He roughly understood what Jiang Baimian and the others wanted to say. Do you mean that the radio stations owner has been using the radio to influence possible listeners, regardless of their identities, where they come from, or what they want to do, and that we were just unfortunate to encounter it?

This misfortune came from Richardsons hobby.

This guess terrified Lehman the more he spoke. A scene even surfaced in his mind: An unknown existence so mysterious that it was a question of them being human could constantly influence the cognition and thoughts of listeners who chanced upon the radio station

I can only say that this is very likely. Jiang Baimian didnt give a definite answer to Lehmans guess.

After waiting for a while, Genava opened the door to Richardsons room and walked out. The radio broadcast has ended. The subsequent content was mostly knowledge pertaining to electronic appliance repairs, mixed with some Daoist theory. Theres nothing special about it, nor were there any strange fluctuations. Of course, Im not a carbon-based being. I cant be sure if it was completely without problem, but Ive recorded everything that needed to be recorded.

Jiang Baimian nodded and directly asked, Did you detect the radio stations general location?

Genava moved his metal neck up and down. Its probably somewhere at the intersection of the North Shore Mountains and the wastelands. Its slightly northeast, and the straight-line distance from here is less than 40 kilometers. After comparing it with the map, I can preliminarily confirm that it belongs to an Old World city ruin. First City labels it 13.
