Abyssal Wanderer

"ha?"

Ji Mu looked at Jim with a puzzled look on his face, not understanding what he meant by "stepping into my footsteps".

And Jim didn't intend to explain to her anything related to the "Janus System". He just changed the subject naturally:

"I mean, thank you very much for taking such a big risk to save me. If you were like me and were trapped inside, it would be difficult for you to come out alive... I remember this life-saving kindness. Down."

In response to this, Ji Mu first smiled and said very helpfully:

"Hey, don't say it so seriously, and you are looking down on me too much..."

With that said, she turned on the projection screen. In an instant, the 3D model of the entire Thracian Club appeared in the center of the room. The real-time images of dozens of surveillance cameras in the building are opened one by one, and are marked with dotted lines in every corner of the model.

Ji Mu pointed at the model with some pride and said:

"I have been investigating them for some time. As a qualified shrine maiden, I have already contacted AI to help hack into all the monitoring and fire systems. Usually it is difficult to break in if there are live security guards, but After the Yakuza family members on the third floor arrived today, the security guards were all disarmed and removed, and no one was guarding the door... But they just rushed in to save someone with internal information, so easily. La."

Speaking of this, she suddenly became serious:

"However, even after the investigation has reached this level, I still haven't been able to find out who is behind the Thracian Club. I have to thank you for this. If you hadn't caused a riot after entering this time, I really don't know what happened. The boss behind them is actually a member of the Linyuan family."

"Well..."

Jim couldn't help but fell silent when he heard this.

Jiang Zhou and Jim had a conflict similar to "ambivalence" about whether to tell the Icarus Liberation Front scandal directly.

After struggling for a long time, Jim finally sighed and said reluctantly:

"No, you are mistaken. The force behind the Thracian Club is actually the Icarus Liberation Front underground in the resettlement area. The Linyuan family is just here to handle some private matters this time."

Ji Mu seemed to hear that his idol had collapsed.

"What did you say?! Icarus?!"

After standing there for a long time, she asked with a shocked look on her face.

Jim nodded helplessly:

"This is what the retainers of the Lin Yuan family said personally. With how single-minded they are in doing things, there is a high probability that they will not lie in this regard, and there is no need to lie."

"But...how is this possible...that is Icarus...that was Liao Qi...and they clearly said that the entire resettlement area..."

For a moment, Ji Mu seemed to be in some kind of turmoil. He muttered to himself and rolled to the sofa, holding his head.

Seeing the witch's appearance, Jim wanted to say some comforting words like "There will always be scum in any organization," but he finally chose not to say anything.

Because he knows that things may not be entirely like this - change has its own dark side, which may be why only the dead can become heroes.

Being willing to cooperate with a local power like the Hayashihara family shows that the decision-makers of Icarus are rational, but it also shows that what they may eventually become may not be much different from a "ten-layer" government - okay It could be a little bit worse or a little bit worse.

So, is it really worth sacrificing so many people just for the possibility of being "good"?

When his thoughts came to this point, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but hit his head.

Perhaps it was because he was affected by Jim's part that he actually struggled with such a simple problem.

If human society is regarded as life, is the price of evolution worth it?

Whatever the answer is, it can only be answered by surviving in the end.

After thinking about this, Jim coughed lightly, and then comforted him calmly:

"There will be scum in any organization, and it's normal that they can't control the people here."

After hearing Jim's words, the puddle of wood on the sofa stopped squirming.

"Yes, you are right, I will anonymously report this matter to Icarus' headquarters right now!"

She stood up angrily as she spoke, rushed to the node host, pulled out the data cable from the back of her neck and planned to connect it.

"Let's not rush this. Let's talk about important things first..."

After stopping this resolute witch, Jim asked the question he was most concerned about:

"Why do you want to monitor and investigate the Thracian Club? Is there anything unusual about them?"

Even leaving aside the Hayashihara family and the Icarus Liberation Front, he could already feel the strangeness of the club just from listening to Old Hans's description.

In addition, Eri who wants to kill him for no reason, and the weird bunny girl who can completely ignore her own abilities are all related to the club. Maybe the real secret hidden in the Thracian Club is far beyond what I had previously imagined.

Jim's question brought Ji Mu back from her impulse. After thinking about it, she nodded and took back the data cable.

"You're right, this matter is still important..."

As she spoke, she threw the metal pipe that contained the "Sewing Claw" into the trash can, then returned to the sofa and sat upright like a kitten, and then said:

"First of all, the reason why I investigated them. My best friend has been missing for a month, and all the evidence points to the Thrace Club."

The other party's topological representation shows that she is not lying.

A correct version in the 16-9 book forum!

Jim nodded and asked her to continue.

"Then about the anomaly of the Thrace Club... Do you know what kind of place they are?"

Because he had been scouted by Old Hans before, Jim answered with a little embarrassment:

"I know, a brothel."

But for this answer, Ji Mu shook his head.

"Stereotypical answer, you heard it from someone who "patronized" it, right?"

Jim nodded, and then asked curiously:

"Isn't it?"

Although Old Hans also claimed that the purpose of the Thrace Club's existence is to satisfy people with special fetishes, but the scene he saw in the dark hall before would not be false-maybe there are indeed people in the world who have strange fetishes, but can there be so many people who love the disabled, love the old, and love the ugly with only a small population in the Nord resettlement area?

It's just a rhetoric used to package services for special groups of people.

"What you said is just a sideline for them to maintain the organization. In fact, the Thrace Club is a place similar to a mutual aid group - at least that's what they claim, and the people who join the club believe it."

Jim said, with a subtle look of disgust on his face.

"Mutual aid group? What do you help each other for?"

Jim asked curiously.

"Encourage each other to help group members get out of their deepest psychological shadows."

Jim replied with a sigh. (End of this chapter)
