Abyssal Wanderer

If you look at it this way, if you want to use the full ability of Icarus Path Depth 3, you need the user to be a hacker with a mutation of the "Hongqiao Brain Area".

Liao Qi is like a street performer playing flute and dancing snakes, controlling the ferrofluid in his palm to dance back and forth in mid-air.

In an ever-changing battlefield, in order to prevent hackers from gaining control over their prosthetic bodies, adjusters often choose to cut off the medium of intrusion—whether it is silencing electromagnetic signals or closing the prosthetic body interface on the body.

After all, this is not in the cyberspace. If you want to hack into the prosthetic body, you must build a physical connection.

The ability of "Mercury Wings" is a pervasive means of physical intrusion - the magnetic fluid can be attached to melee weapons, and after the attack, it will be connected to the enemy in a disconnected manner.

In other words, as long as the opponent's defense is broken and the control circuit is exposed, the adjuster of Icarus can try to implant the virus for hacking.

For a moment, Liao Qi also seemed to understand why the first two depths of this promotion path are constantly strengthening the melee ability of the adjuster.

Because of the restriction on the control distance of the ferrofluid, this method of intrusion must be close enough to the opponent to be effective. And the specialized melee ability of the Icarus path is mainly used to break through the opponent's defense and give enough time to complete the hack.

"Pity……"

Thinking of this, Liao Qi said softly.

Looking at it this way, Icarus is actually a promotion path that requires the adjuster to be a hacker in order to be able to fully exert its true strength. However, neither the former team leader Kerrett nor himself has this talent.

Fortunately, I can use another self to provide online electronic warfare support.

"What's the pity?"

At this time, Booker on the side came over and asked.

"nothing."

Liao Qi replied.

As he spoke, he manipulated the ferrofluid in his hand to curl up again into a round silver bead, and then let it slowly seep into his body and join the internal circulation.

"Strong ability."

He turned to look at Booker and said:

"Even if I encounter another fierce battle like the 'Siege of Theseus', I still have enough fighting power to protect myself."

On the surface, Jiang Zhou was talking about the possible actions of Pluto Deep Dive Company after the geothermal power station completed printing. But in fact, what he was thinking about was the movement that might be caused when the universal printer was free and he opened the database stored in it, and when Hecate descended into the base reality.

To be honest, it is difficult for him to estimate what kind of movement these two things will bring.

"In the next few days, including things in the power station, you don't have to worry about anything in the organization. You just need to stay here and get familiar with new abilities... If it really happens at that time In addition to the conflict, I need you to display the full combat power of Icarus Path Depth 3."

Speaking, Booker also sent him another message in the private channel.

[In addition, you try to connect to this universal printer every day to see if Mr. "Paradox" will arrange a new "trial" for you]

Liao Qi nodded.

"clear."

In this regard, Booker sighed and said:

"But no matter how you say it, I still hope that there will be no conflicts..."

Having said that, Booker's tone did not seem to think that things would go so smoothly.

In fact, since the end of "Operation Magician", they used the energy of one gram of antimatter to start the construction of the geothermal power station in advance. The organization's contact room for enterprises cannot get in touch with anyone who can speak in Pluto's deep diving company.

Even if they took the initiative to find the studio stationed on the ground floor of the resettlement area, the replies from the other party were all official formulas. It sounds full of twists and turns, but it can be summed up in three words - wait for the notice.

It can be said that the other party actively disconnected the communication channel between the two parties.

"So, you still can't get in touch with Perse Fanny?"

Liao Qi asked as if he suddenly remembered something.

Booker shook his head:

"I have tried all the channels, but there is still no news...Following the official news of Pluto Deep Dive Company, I haven't seen any news related to her."

Originally, the entire cooperation project with Pluto Deep Dive Company was finalized between him and the supervisor. But now, he can't get in touch with the leader on the other side, which doesn't look like a good sign.

In addition, the other side has deployed a universal printer in the studio sent here—as long as the other side is willing, they can win over some desperate desperadoes at the bottom of the resettlement area at any time, and pull out a shoddy, but still enough, printer. Lethal adjuster troops come out.

"At present, there is only the last batch of prisoners left. That is, Qianxia Ying, 136, Karl...they. Of course, there is also the anonymous person who seems to be involved innocently."

Booker continued.

Sorry, he probably won't be able to be released as a prisoner.

Not only that, thanks to his own "blessing", the remaining people who participated in the second dive together may not be able to come back because they are suspected of being connected with Hecate.

But I really can't feel too much guilt about it.

Jiang Zhou thought to himself.

After all, for people who almost killed themselves, even if they can understand their actions, they still have a lot of knots emotionally.

However, Booker couldn't get in touch with Perse Fanny, and he didn't know if it had something to do with being regarded as Hecate's steed.

Thinking of this, Liao Qi asked directly:

"Are you sure Fanny cannot be reached through all channels?"

He specially emphasized the pronunciation of the word "all".

Hearing this question, Booker froze for a moment, as if a student who had deserted in class was suddenly called by the teacher.

Did the other party guess something? Is he that sharp?

Booker thought.

Immediately, he nodded with a complex expression and said:

"Yes……

"All channels."

…………

"Director Fanny, Lu Yuan, an intern investigator from Cerberus outside, is asking for an interview. The other party wants to ask about..."

"No, let him go."

He decisively interrupted the AI ​​assistant's words, and gave Fanny, who was coiled up with light green wavy hair, and put the protein biochip that looked like a flesh-colored jelly jelly back into the incubator, and It was carefully time-labeled.

After finishing all this, she took off her gloves and raised her head to look at the figure projected on the side.

"Why are you still here?"

she asked.

"My lord, even if it's an intern, the other party is still sent by Cerberus..."

After all, it is the "gendarme" within the company, and the AI ​​assistant raised doubts about Fanny's direct refusal of Cerberus's investigation.

Throwing the removed gloves into the disinfection cabinet, she untied her coiled hair. Under the action of the electrostatic generator, the thick hair fell gently and slowly as if in a gravity-free outer space.

"You don't need to talk to him, just pretend it didn't happen, there won't be any problem."

Her voice is very calm, giving people a sense of tranquility that seems to be able to hypnotize.

"That's after all..."

But even so, the AI ​​still did not give up trying to persuade - after all, within Tartarus, Cerberus's authority is too great.

"Do you know where I'm going next?"

In this regard, Fanny interrupted directly.

The projected figure shook his head.

"Next, I'm going to a meeting with Director Cerberus. If there's anything that needs to be known, I think the director would prefer to make it clear at the meeting rather than send an intern over. .”

She said, taking off her anti-bacterial coat.

"In this way, help me leave a message for him and set it to burn after reading it.

"Since it's another act of unauthorized action that is self-defeating, let's take a break for a while."

After speaking, she walked out the door. The two zombie bodyguards who had been guarding the door of the laboratory immediately followed her, keeping a fixed distance from her as quickly as possible.

madness……

Walking halfway, Fanny thought so.

Whether it was the other party's act of being smart before, or the initiative to come to find him now, it is an extremely stupid performance.

After this incident, since he could see through the other party's identity, why would he feel that those old foxes couldn't see through.

In fact, those guys didn't point out this point for the time being, they could only use his true identity to seek something else.

All the way Fanny wondered what that thing might be. Soon she came to the meeting room. The moment she opened the door, she saw the members who came to participate in the meeting, and she knew what conclusions could be drawn from today's so-called discussion meeting.

"Today we have only two topics."

After being seated at the round table in the venue, Prison D, the supervisor who presided over the meeting, didn't even have a simple greeting, and said directly:

"The first one is not that important. In view of the recent underground situations in the Nord resettlement area, we need to make certain adjustments to the personnel of the underground intelligent control factory project in the Nord resettlement area.

"The second is to discuss the final disposal plan for all those who participated in the previous dive and salvage activities, including 'Theseus'."

Say it's a seminar...

thought Fanny.

But looking at Ye Qian's face with a faint smile, she already guessed what the final conclusion would be.

First of all, the first point is obviously aimed at themselves. They want to deprive themselves of their rights in the Nord resettlement area?

And the second point... It seems that Cerberus has finally made up his mind to make "Theseus" who is still trapped in the abyss dark net completely non-threatening. (end of this chapter)
