Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 255 NO.00fe: Before diving

"So, is this okay?"

A voice interrupted Jim's narration. Donata walked out of the bathroom and shook the sleeves that had grown a small section of her arms. The expression on her face had returned to calm.

"Buy one size up."

she complained.

"Um……"

Jim nodded and then said:

"It looks like what a girl of your age should look like."

Donata couldn't help but roll her eyes at this.

"The soil is dead, are your aesthetics still stuck in the AD era?"

She replied unhappily.

Jim didn't reply, but put the holster of the "Persuader" on himself. Then he put on the old windbreaker full of holes caused by cigarette butts, and finally put a felt fedora on his head.

[The rest of the story will be told later]

Jim said this to Chen Wan on the communication channel.

【ha? Stop saying half of it? Did you know that eunuchs have no human rights? 】

Chen Wan was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help complaining.

[I will talk about it later, this is not called a eunuch]

Jim said.

[There is no human right even if the update is interrupted]

The other party immediately added.

Ignoring the other party's complaints, Jim continued:

[Also, I won’t take you with me when I go out this time. After all, you are too conspicuous]

No matter how you say it, going out with a delusional thought box is always something that attracts attention - this thing is not legal anywhere, and it may cause unnecessary trouble if it is discovered.

【ah? So then I’ll just stay here and wait for you to come back? 】

In response, the other party became even more excited.

But these words made Jim stop in his tracks.

[Hiss... You are right, this is indeed too wasteful]

Jim thought for a while and then said:

[Then please help me compile some information about the Orpheus Esoteric Cult. You are probably more familiar with this aspect than me. All in all, the more detailed the better]

Investigating the movements of the Orpheus Secret Cult is not only Hanel's request, but also the clue Jim found when investigating the cause of his death...

Although it is not yet certain that they are the real masterminds behind the scenes, there is no doubt that they are inseparable from all this.

However, it would be nice if I could still ask Hecate...

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but sigh.

Hecate must know something... She even thought to herself that the choice of this controllable factor might be the result of careful arrangements by the other party.

After all, the human emotion she wants to study next is the essence of "love".

But since the other party is unwilling to appear in front of you, there is a high probability that the other party is not willing to discuss these things with you in advance.

Those artificial intelligences that transcend human cognition are really like gods who can weave the fate of mortals at will...

[Wait a minute, then why do I do this job...]

On the other side, Chen Wan could not help but protest against the extra tasks.

[You should have heard before that there is an inextricable connection between the Orphic Secret Cult and the goddess... Maybe we can use them to find the goddess's body]

Jim persuaded patiently.

In the end, the clue obtained from Hanel could only be used to encourage the dead man to work peacefully.

He thought a little helplessly.

As for using the "Icarus Liberation Front" as a breakthrough to investigate the Orpheus Secret Cult... After I dive into the Abyss Dark Web, I will call Booker over and ask, and everything will be clear.

He didn't plan to invest too much energy in this direction.

And as Jim expected, after hearing these words, Chen Wan's side suddenly became quiet.

【How about it? 】

So, Jim took this opportunity to ask.

[Well...if that's the case, then it's not like you can't do it...]

The other party replied hesitantly.

Is this tsundere? This is so disgusting for a grown man...

A chill ran down Jim's spine. Immediately, he neatly forwarded the copy of "Response to the Threat of the Second Type of Human Intelligence Collapse Scenario: The Fourth Revised Edition of the New Calendar 50 Years" that Hanel sent to him yesterday.

Using this information as an index, I believe that with the other party's level, he can find a lot of useful things even on public channels.

"Who are you calling? Are you still not leaving?"

At this time, Donata, who had changed her shoes on the side, looked at Jim who was standing still, with data transmission prompts flashing in his eyes, and couldn't help but urge.

In response, Jim hurriedly gave a few final instructions and also walked towards the entrance.

"We're leaving now."

He said so.

…………

"We're leaving now."

Coincidentally, almost at the same time, Jiang Zhou, who was in the deep diving chamber, said the same thing to Christie who came over for inspection.

"but……"

As Jiang Zhou spoke, he turned to look at Perse Fanny who was taking the adjustment medicine and asked worriedly:

"Does she even want to go down with us?"

A researcher who has not been adjusted and transformed, and is not even a high-level prosthetic, wants to dive with them... This matter seems to be too dangerous no matter how you look at it.

"Only she can identify what the data that needs to be brought back on this trip looks like."

Christie explained this.

The mission of this deep dive salvage is to use Jiang Zhou's "Moon Goddess Brand" to open a path to a special coordinate at depth 3 to find the key data to crack the biological protein chip "Pegasus".

When Perse Fanny switched jobs from Apollo Biology to Pluto Deep Diving, she not only brought back the technical route for cracking the "Pegasus", she also retained a copy of the top-secret Abyss Dark Web coordinates.

According to her, this is the most important reason why Apollo Biotech is so far ahead of other Olympus companies in technological research on biological protein chips - where they are working with an entity in the abyss dark web. After completing the transaction, we obtained a full set of technical routes.

However, even if you have domain coordinates, it is useless if you do not obtain the permission to pass the transit port. Therefore, for a long time, the top-secret coordinates in Perse Fanny's hands were completely useless and were nothing more than a lottery ticket that could not be redeemed.

Even the company's directors, who push the limits of human intelligence, can't help open those paths.

However, now Pluto Deep Diving has "Theseus", a favored person blessed by the God of Three Crossroads - after he activates the "Brand", all paths will be opened for him .

Well, at least it’s a path of some depth…

"Also, don't underestimate her just because she is a technician...after all, she used to be a technician at Apollo Biology."

Christie said so.

Jiang Zhou shrugged, thinking of something that didn't belong to his memory, and had no intention of continuing to ask on this topic - that would be too rude, after all, Perse Fanny was right next to him.

He then asked a more critical question:

"By the way, there is another question I want to know...Why does Pluto Deep Diving want to crack the technology of 'Pegasus' so much?"

Based on the information he currently knows, Pluto Deep Diving's priority on cracking the "Pegasus" is simply terrifyingly high within the company.

This can be seen from Fanny's previous aloof status within the company - in order to allow her to research with peace of mind, the company's senior management originally even planned to hand over the entire Nord Resettlement Area branch to her. Even though she was eventually found to have helped the "Icarus Liberation Front" beyond what was necessary and provided them with information. In the end, the punishment given to her by "Cerpolos" was to lift her up high and drop her gently.

Yes, Jiang Zhou can understand. It can repair brain damage and allow the adjuster to actively enter the zombie state. This technology is indeed very powerful.

But which of the technologies that can be obtained from the Abyss Dark Web is not powerful? Why does this one get such attention?

Regarding this question, Christie hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't want to say it.

But in the end, she still spoke:

"This is just a guess... You should know that 'Pegasus' is the key adjustment and transformation of Theseus on the ascension path. And a friend of mine who was walking on the path of Theseus believed that this adjustment and transformation was designed to become a biological protein. Chips, not mechanical implants, have deeper reasons."

She paused for a moment as she spoke, and then the expression on her face seemed to be a little disgusted with this speculation.

"Since Janus designed the upgrade path of Theseus to fulfill the desire of the First Deep Diver. Then based on the nature of this path and the heritability of the biological protein chip. Perhaps... Janus intended to let The instructions for generating the 'Pegasus' are written into the genetic sequence of every human being."
