Abyssal Wanderer

Looking at the jumping numbers on the account, Jim nodded, and then pushed the memory in his hand to the guy opposite with a smile on his face.

"By the way, sir. If you want to leave the Nord resettlement area safely, I can actually help you introduce it..."

Eagerly putting the memory back into his pocket, Jin Hyungjun immediately began to sell Jim his other businesses.

Needless to say, the other party is indeed an extremely dedicated businessman.

"no need."

Jim said, and he paid the bill for the coffee - he had already taken advantage of half a million Ole, so the difference was only a few dollars.

“Let’s work together again if we have the opportunity in the future.”

Seeing that the middleman seemed to want to sell something, Jim stretched out his hand to the other person across the table and hurriedly ended the topic.

The latter was stunned for a moment, then shook his head politely.

"I guess there's no chance."

As he spoke, he also extended his hand and shook it with Jim.

"Although this is just a rule of thumb, once you leave the Nord resettlement area, there is a high probability that you will not want to see anyone related to this place again."

At this moment of parting, it was rare for this profiteer to say something sincere - if Jim and Donata really planned to run away, I'm afraid they would feel physically uncomfortable hearing about the Nord Resettlement Area for the rest of their lives.

In response, Jim nodded, and then stood up at the same time as Donata beside him.

This is a signal for the action that was scheduled early in the morning.

Wang Ying, who had been sitting at the table next to them, stood up almost at the same time.

Under Jin Hyungjun's confused eyes, the woman sat down next to him in a neat move, and pressed his shoulder with the hand holding the microwave pistol - the muzzle of the gun was pointed right at his skull.

"sit down."

Then, Wang Ying directed Jim and Donata to sit down again with her chin.

"Who are you?"

Jim brought just the right amount of panic to his voice.

Wang Ying placed her police badge on the coffee table to show her identity and motives.

"Wait a minute, I can explain, this guy..."

His face turned pale instantly, Jin Hyungjun pointed at Jim and began to try to protect himself wisely.

"You guys, please immediately turn off the networking function of your brain-computer interface, and then put your hands where I can see them."

But in this regard, Wang Ying just ordered coldly.

Looking at the woman in front of her who was so beautiful that she didn't look like a mortal, Kate was a little distracted for a moment.

But while she was distracted, she did not reduce her doubts.

Someone would actually take the initiative to experience "sensory simulation therapy"?

"May I ask Ms. Jiang...where did you hear about the 'sensory mimicry therapy'? This treatment method is still in the clinical trial stage and has not yet been advertised to the outside world."

She didn't hide her doubts, but asked directly.

In response to Kate's question, the woman who called herself Jiang Zhou replied somewhat casually:

"A friend recommended."

Friend... is it one of my own living corpses?

Kate thought.

But this shouldn't be the case... He actually takes the initiative to notify others of the existence of the "Transformation Ritual". Could it be that a living corpse has broken through the constraints of the Orpheus Secret Cult?

Such an unusual situation made Kate quickly ask:

"Who is that friend you mentioned..."

However, she stopped midway through the question.

A brief urgent message was sent.

[I was arrested by people from the Public Security Bureau and will be out of contact next time]

The sender of the message was Kim Hyung Jun, the man who had just taken away his half a million Ole a few minutes ago.

suffered...

Kate was stunned by this sudden news.

Jin Hyungjun is the intelligence agent he placed on the tenth floor - because of his identity, among the many living corpses he controls, he is the only one who has direct contact with him.

In other words, compared to other living corpses, this guy is more likely to expose his own information.

She didn't even have time to feel sorry for the money she had just transferred not long ago. Kate couldn't help but start thinking about something worse.

How could the people from the Public Security Bureau arrest him at this time? Just because I bought a few printing rights?

Is the sale and purchase of printing rights considered a thing on the tenth floor?

Or is this someone who discovered Kim Hyung-joon's true identity and was fishing for law enforcement, intending to find out who he is behind him?

But no matter what, he must destroy the other party immediately.

Her thoughts suddenly drifted to the basement of the clinic, and Kate stood up immediately.

If you want to remotely activate the self-destruct switch of a living corpse, without a deep dive interface, you must present a brand new mental model to...

But the mental model I scanned before has been used in emergency contact.

Thinking of this, Kate looked at the woman with a calm expression in front of her.

Is it such a coincidence that someone just happened to come to the door now?

"I need to give you a thorough examination first."

Kate looked at the woman who called herself Jiang Zhou and said:

"If the test results show that you are suitable for a new treatment, I will definitely give priority to that."

Wang Ying may be good at playing a stupid police detective who acts recklessly, but she is completely unable to play a greedy and incompetent bad police detective.

Therefore, during the threat stage, she just stated her request dryly with a straight face. There were no foreshadowings or hints throughout the whole process, and he looked as if he was being asked by the teacher to go to the podium to read a letter of self-reflection. The fact that "my request is very suspicious" was almost written on his face.

This kind of performance made Jim, who was also handcuffed in the car, almost have to cover his face or directly remind him several times.

Before this, I had obviously taught her how to use subtle threats to convince her...

Of course, Jim also understood why Wang Ying didn't do this.

Simply put, her pride couldn't accept that.

This is why she previously insisted that she was "fishing for law enforcement" and not "immortal jumping".

Rather, it is the biggest concession that she can accept her battle plan.

"...You should think about it carefully and then answer it carefully. That's the above."

Wang Ying finished speaking as if arranging work, and then looked at the other party.

However, what Jim didn't expect at all was that the guy who had just stolen 500,000 Ole from him actually asked calmly:

"Understood, that means as long as I can help take you to the 'Lighthouse' and make adjustments and modifications with a multi-purpose printer, you will not arrest me for smuggling 'Dark Web Technology', right?"

Kim Hyung-joon concluded.

Wang Ying nodded.

"Then it's a deal."

The other party nodded without hesitation.

The compromise occurred far faster than Jim could have imagined.

He had already planned to use Plan B, which was to directly show his cards and threaten his life.

For a moment, Jim even had an unrealistic feeling.

It's like the person who really enters the trap is not the other party but himself.

Would an old middleman who has been hanging out on the tenth floor of the resettlement area all year round not see the flaw in Wang Ying's attitude?

"To the lighthouse."

Wang Ying didn't say anything about this, she just ordered the car's automatic driving.

…………

"Adjust your status and prepare to return to the Eden Domain."

In the City of Sages, Jiang Zhou teleported himself to Qianxia Ying and the others and spoke.

"Have you found the survivors from that year?"

Fanny was a little surprised.

"So fast?"

Qianxia Sakura on the side also came up and asked.

You must know that the Eden settlement area is under the control of Apollo creatures. It is not an easy task to find a matching citizen so quickly.

In response, Jiang Zhou just nodded and continued:

"I don't know what the situation will be like when we return to the Eden resettlement area. If you are still in danger, I will bring you back as soon as possible... In addition, we must first bring you back this time." Get it back."

In fact, there is still a certain amount of time before Jim and the others arrive at the lighthouse, but Jiang Zhou plans to take advantage of this gap to retrieve 136 first. After all, there is still a big risk in letting such a guy in a "zombie" state stay there.

After saying that, he looked at Hecuba beside him, intending to ask her what suggestions she had.

But before he could speak, Hecate's maid bowed her head slightly and said:

"Dear Mr. Theseus, my mistress asked me to convey to you that she is paying attention to this matter. The development of the situation may be somewhat beyond your expectations, so please be mentally prepared in advance...

"Be sure not to be covered." (End of chapter)
