Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 172 NO.00ab: External Forces

"First of all, there is something about the Nord resettlement area. Here is an assessment report."

Accompanied by the host's words, two zombie slave workers who looked like somnambulists and whose eyes were turning at high speed got up from the side. With impeccable smooth movements, they distributed paper materials to everyone in the meeting room.

Even in this super-information age, paper materials still have their existence value due to the need for confidentiality.

After briefly browsing the summary of the report, Fanny frowned involuntarily.

The host on the stage waited for the sound of flipping papers under the stage to subside before saying:

"After the committee's research and judgment, the solution previously proposed by Ms. Perse Fanny is no longer suitable for the current situation. Therefore, we may need..."

You need to take back the jurisdiction over the Nord resettlement area from your own hands.

Perth Fanny thought to herself—that’s what she wanted to say in the thirty-plus-page report in her hand, which contained tens of thousands of words.

However, before she could speak, someone on the side immediately raised a question:

"Wait a minute... I said how is this possible? In such a low-level civil organization like Icarus, there are actually hackers who can break through the company's firewall without anyone noticing. 'Curse Kill' is in the security of the Tartarus headquarters. personnel?"

As the man spoke, he raised the paper and pointed his finger at the part of the "Xuanyan-27" death report.

"On this point, I think it will be clearly written on the next page of the report."

There was no displeasure on the face of the host whose speech was interrupted like this. He maintained a warm smile and continued:

"Of course, in order to take care of some people's ability to understand, it's okay for me to make a brief summary... Those half-baked hackers of the 'Icarus Liberation Front' must not be able to break through the Tartarus Firewall from the outside. But it is the strongest The fortresses of the world are often breached from the inside - and within Tartarus, there are indeed members of Icarus."

He said with a slight smile, turned to look at Ye Qian who was on the side and continued:

"Thanks to the information provided by Director Ye Qian, we have made a new breakthrough in the investigation of the accident encountered by the natural adjuster Xuanyan-27."

Hearing this, Ye Qian nodded silently, then turned his gaze to Fanny, and smiled at her almost provocatively.

Now you are dumb eating Coptis chinensis, can't you tell the pain?

Ye Qian thought to himself—he always believed that the death of "Xuanyan-27" was caused by Fanny. Therefore, now when he thinks that he can use this matter to win the game, but the other party still dare not expose this point, he can't help but feel secretly refreshed.

But Fanny just felt inexplicable for a while—she didn't know what the other party was so proud of.

On the other side, the host of the meeting continued to speak:

"According to our investigation, the death of Xuanyan-27 was not a simple accident, but an act of revenge against our company. Among the Icarus members who were not released, there happened to be one person who needed stimulation' 'Growth of the pontine brain', while having access to Tartarus' internal network interface..."

When the host said this, he paused. He glanced at the silent Perse Fanny before continuing:

"That person is 'Theseus' who was suspected to be selected by the malicious program 'Hecate' to become a steed. Although he had just completed the adjustment and transformation of depth 1 at that time, considering his status as a steed, I want to know Unknowingly killing a hacker at the level of a 'fraudster' is not impossible."

Hearing this, Fanny finally understood why the two seemingly irrelevant issues of "disposition of the Hecate steed" and "replacement of the business manager of the Nord resettlement area" were brought up in this meeting. things, let's talk about it together.

Because they want to find the same reason to solve two things together.

As she expected, Ye Qian on the side spoke uprightly:

"Essentially speaking, this is actually a terrorist attack launched by a private terrorist organization against our company. This is a real Trojan horse trick - to send an adapter of Hecate's 'horse' into our company's In the heart. It intends to use the company's α-level deep dive interface to trigger the rise of malicious programs from the ultra-abyss layer, causing damage to the company... just like the lunar eclipse event ten years ago."

Having said that, he sighed:

"And, in fact, they have already succeeded-the network impact caused by the previous dive has brought uncountable damage to our company. Although it did not cause the disaster like Diana Lunar Surface Development Company back then, But for this, I really..."

Speaking of this, he even choked up a little.

You are pretending to be your mother...

In the meeting room, all the people who knew Ye Qian's promotion path, saw his eyes filled with tears, and thought so in their hearts almost at the same time.

Will the adjusters of the "Path of Theseus" lose control of their emotions?

But after hearing his words, the host on the stage quickly cooperated and said:

"Director Ye, please don't say that. Whether it's the one who ordered the surrender of 'Icarus' before, which allowed them to sneak in as captives; or Fanny, who was deceived by their appearance and planned to cooperate with them Ms. Victims in fact - none of us could have imagined that the rats congregating in the gutter could be so vicious.

"We thought too much about those people, and we couldn't imagine that they would be so insane... Whether it was for practical benefits or to satisfy their perverted desire for revenge. They would actually disregard the safety of human society like this , even at the expense of introducing malicious programs from the abyss and dark web as a means of retaliating against society."

His voice was full of unspeakable pain and anger, like a fighting hero who reprimanded his compatriots for defecting to the enemy for their own interests in the national war.

Then, he sighed and continued:

"Those rats living at the bottom of the resettlement area are like this-always blame their unfortunate situation on the company or the society. And this kind of dissatisfaction, after being instigated by some people with ulterior motives, turned into The hatred makes these people lost in it. They never reflect on whether their depraved life is due to their lack of hard work.

"You need to know that our Pluto Deep Dive Company is the only Olympus company that has opened the talent incubation center to the bottom of the Nord resettlement area, and it is also the lowest charging standard. We pay several million Olympians every year. Lei, is to give back to the society and give the refugees there a way to rise.

"But look at how they repayed our kindness? Treat a terrorist organization that uses lynching live broadcasts and colludes with malicious programs from the abyss and dark web as a so-called good person. We plan to set up factories there and promote local employment projects. .”

Now, they even want to take revenge on us by introducing malicious programs! Take revenge on this whole society!

The tone of the host's speech was extremely provocative, and for a while, the atmosphere of the entire venue became visibly excited.

Ye Qian on the side cooperated while strike while the iron was hot:

"To be honest, even if this is the case, I think those refugees in the resettlement area are innocent, even the Icarus Liberation Front is innocent. I seriously doubt that behind them, there are some international terrorist organizations that want to subvert the Olympian order shadow.

"For example, 'Singularity Cult', 'Fire Thief', 'Wind-Up Bird'...or those unwilling 'City of One Man'. In short, I doubt...no, I'm sure, in their Behind them, there must be external forces secretly instigating them and providing them with help."
