Abyssal Wanderer

In the end, Hanel didn't believe Jim's statement - at least that's what it seemed on the surface.

This may be because the ghostly "evil twin" is secretly pulling the puppet threads, but Jiang Zhou feels that it is normal even if the other party does not want to believe it purely due to his own knowledge.

After all, without Fanny's previous explanation, Jiang Zhou himself would not believe this statement.

However, since she didn't even remember that she had watched "Doppelgänger" in the past, Jim couldn't use this reason to explain the "Pegasus" growing in his head.

After all, Jim's own memory is not reliable - after all, in his impression, he had not seen the simulator movie back then.

"If you don't believe this statement, then maybe you should believe that one time when I was doing self-service surgery, an AI performed a craniotomy while I was under anesthesia, and then installed this thing inside. In the future, as long as it Press a button on the Abyssal Dark Web and I’ll be transformed into a voodoo zombie and manipulated—just like the urban legends about secret AI invasions.”

In response to this, Jim did not choose to make up another set of excuses, but replied in a nonchalant manner.

But as he expected, the other party did not continue on this topic. Even though it was very suspicious that he had a biological protein chip "Pegasus" in his mind, the other party still moved it to another topic as if nothing happened.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it."

With such a sentence, Hanel immediately skipped this topic that should be pursued to the end - it seemed that in her mind, it was not doubtful that Jim Leiter had Pegasus in his mind.

In a daze, Jim seemed to see the threads wrapped around her body move slightly.

Maybe it's because we are the same kind...

Jim thought.

Therefore, she would not have any doubts subconsciously.

But, if that was the case, why did she take the initiative to show me the mind map and tell me that there was a Pegasus in my mind?

"Let's talk about the trouble you caused at the Lighthouse... Twelve minutes ago, a wanted order for you was issued by the committee."

Fortunately, what Hanel talked about next was more pragmatic.

"Am I wanted?"

Jim pretended to be surprised.

"There's nothing surprising... Thinking about the commotion you made in the lighthouse printing room, isn't it normal to be wanted?"

In response, Hanel rolled his eyes at him.

But Jim just laughed at himself:

"I'm just surprised that the case was able to be filed within twenty-four hours. Is this the efficiency of the tenth floor?"

He paused, then continued:

"So what are you going to do? Cuff me first and then take me back to headquarters for interrogation?"

After saying that, he lay back on the hospital bed and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling.

Unlike the Public Security Bureau, the Human Intelligence Ethics Supervision Committee has cross-border law enforcement powers. Just a commercial missionary leader can't stop them from taking themselves out.

"Well... that's what the detective who is currently guarding outside the missionary territory thinks so. She feels that she has been fooled by you from the beginning, and now she is eager to arrest you as soon as you step out of the border."

Accompanied by the rustling sound of something being peeled, Hanel's joking words came over.

"It's completely understandable...she should be mad when something like this happens."

Thinking of Wang Ying, Jim couldn't help but raise his hands to cover his face in embarrassment.

If he appeared in front of Wang Ying now, the other party might actually raise his hand and shoot him.

At this time, Hanel's tone suddenly became subtle:

"But if she really wants to control you, then she can just press for extradition directly through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the resettlement area. Blocking you here with such a big fanfare is actually giving you buffer time. From this point From the looks of it, she is really a good woman, how did you meet her in the first place?"

As he finished speaking, a half-peeled apple was placed on the bedside table. Jim looked along the other person's retracted hand. Hanel, who was wiping the fruit knife at the moment, looked a little lonely.

But before he could say anything, the other party immediately said:

"Excuse me, even if it's for your own safety, don't answer."

This sentence made Jim swallow the words that were already on his lips, and he immediately changed the topic:

"So, what are you going to do with me? Arrest me immediately?"

The reason why he asked this was because the other party didn't seem to have any intention of doing so.

"I have to remind you, I paid last night."

Hanel replied.

"Although I understand what you mean, please put it another way."

Hanel smiled at Jim's protest and then said:

"If you were arrested like this, wouldn't it be in vain that I hired you to investigate the Icarus Liberation Front?

When Jim heard this, he turned his head and looked at the half-peeled apple. At this moment, its flesh was gradually oxidizing to brown.

"In other words, you are still suspicious of the bottom floor of the resettlement area?"

He spoke slowly.

According to common sense, if the other party does not believe that "Pegasus" can be implanted through simulator movies, then if the universal printer in the lighthouse is excluded, then only the universal printer underground in the settlement area may be the one. Tools of crime.

But Jiang Zhou knew better than anyone that the Icarus Liberation Front was not involved with the Orpheus Secret Cult.

In fact, if the technology used by the Orpheus Secret Cult to make zombies is indeed "Pegasus", then the real targets they should investigate are those who immigrated from the Eden resettlement area.

And right now there happen to be two guys who meet the requirements.

Among them, Jim himself may have escaped control to a certain extent because of the Janus program, but Hanel had no such adventure.

In other words, maybe Hanel is really with the Orpheus Secret Cult.

Of course... it is more likely that the mastermind behind the scenes wants to blame the Orpheus Secret Cult. In other words, dumped on the goddess of the moon.

The puppet behind the scenes asked him to investigate the innocent Icarus Liberation Front, which is really a bit laughable.

But now the question is, who is the real mastermind?

Anthroposophical Ethics Supervisory Committee? Orphic Esoteric Cult? Apollo creatures? Nyx?

And more importantly...what is its purpose?

Jiang Zhou had no clue, and at the same time he didn't think he could get any clues from Hanel's mouth.

Facing an opponent who can tamper with cognition, he is just like the suffering master in a hypnotic comic. He cannot rely on words and awakening empathy to persuade people to return to their lost ways. Even if he can persuade Hanel, the other party only needs to talk. With the puppet string in his hand, all his previous work was in vain.

"On this point, you just need to follow the direction I told you to investigate... Do you ask so many questions about each of your customers?"

Regarding Jim's question, Hanel first complained like this, and then smiled evilly and said:

"Besides, do you really think you have a choice?"

"What's the meaning?"

These words made Jim suddenly alert.

"In eight minutes, your wanted notice will be posted all over the ground in the entire resettlement area. Even if you don't handle this case, you can only run away to the underground of the resettlement area to temporarily avoid the limelight."

The expression on Hanel's face looked very happy.

"In addition, Liao Qi's funeral will be five days later. I got information that Booker Irwin, the leader of Icarus, will also attend the scene. I can arrange for you to go to the funeral scene. Maybe you can take this opportunity to investigate his relationship with The connection between the Orphic esoteric cult and the location of Hecate’s horse.” (End of this chapter)
