Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 80 NO.004f: ​​Brief Calm

After the adjustment, Jiang Zhou was thrown from mid-air by the universal printer.

Unlike the previous adjustment and transformation of the depth 1 of the Icarus path, the path of Theseus did not strengthen the control of the sense of balance. Therefore, after being thrown down, Jiang Zhou had no time to adjust his body balance as before.

So, with a "crack", he was directly thrown to the ground.

Subconsciously activated the puppet circuit, and the feeling of pain was instantly blocked.

What a convenient ability...

Jiang Zhou, lying on the ground, thought to himself.

It's also dangerous enough.

After all, pain is an early warning system evolved by the human body. If it can be covered up subconsciously, then for some weak-willed people, it will make them reckless and full of death spirit.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou directly took the "puppet circuit" offline, letting the pain in his ribs hit his forehead.

Or use it carefully when you need it.

In addition, the changes in my body also...

"I said it all, I just asked him to carry out the adjustment and transformation of depth 1. Why are you in such a hurry? The materials and printing permissions used here are all recorded under my department... He shouldn't thank me in turn. Yeah?"

Before he had time to confirm his ability, Ye Qian's voice came from behind.

"What I'm going to do has nothing to do with what you paid before."

Responding to Ye Qian was a cold voice that Jiang Zhou had heard before.

Looking up, it was indeed Perse Fanny.

At this moment, she was standing in the middle of the hall, still wearing the brick-red checked coat with a stand-up collar from before. Under the action of the electrostatic generator, her long, smooth green hair appeared elegant.

Ye Qian behind him crossed Jiang Zhou and walked to Fanny, then said:

"Then how about this, let's ask the person's opinion and see if he is willing to go with you?"

As soon as his words fell, a sign of the last quarter moon appeared in Jiang Zhou's sight - that was the imprint Hecate left on him.

Immediately, a message informed Jiang Zhou that Ye Qian was just trying to make him feel disgusted and disgusted.

Although the puppet circuit on his body was not connected to Ye Qian, the program left by Hecate still created the illusion that he could control it for the other party.

"Theseus, Ms. Perse Fanny wants to take you back to her department. In case you have forgotten, she is the head of the medical department, and you were supposed to be sent there."

Ye Qian turned around and said this to Jiang Zhou.

Suggestive remarks, plus the negative emotion of "disgust" secretly activated - if Jiang Zhou is really just a depth 1 adjustment person who has simply been implanted into the puppet circuit, right now he should probably be like those hypnotic comics. The role is the same, let's just expressly reject it.

And I will think that it belongs to my true feelings.

The ability of this path is too disgusting...

Jiang Zhou thought to himself.

Immediately, he frowned pretendingly, but before he had time to say anything, Fanny said in an unquestionable tone:

"Similarly, what I want to do has nothing to do with his will...Ye Qian, Pluto Deep Dive has never been a place that cares about the opinions of the weak and losers. I thought you would agree with this more than I do. "

Jiang Zhou noticed that the ever-changing smile on Ye Qian's face froze for a moment.

Of course, only for a short moment.

He probably activated the "puppet circuit" to control his emotions.

After all, what Fanny said earlier was equivalent to pointing her nose at herself as a weakling and a loser.

Seeing this, Fanny didn't say much, but directly tapped Jiang Zhou who was sitting on the ground with her chin, and the two zombie bodyguards behind her supported him from left to right.

"Please rest assured that I stopped my captives privately before and sent them to the No. 3 deep dive warehouse; and privately brought this native to make adjustments and transformations. After that, I will investigate the responsibility one by one... I heard that Lu There is a lack of security supervisors in the Keso resettlement area, and I don’t know if you will be lucky enough to go there to escape the heat this summer.”

Glancing at Jiang Zhou who was pushed behind her, Fanny continued to mock.

On the other hand, Ye Qian still had a warm smile on his face.

He said in a sincere tone:

"Leaving aside the matter of going to Africa for summer vacation, Miss Fanny, I think it is necessary for me to remind you: those who participated in the deep dive salvage before are still on the watch list of Cerberus. The higher-ups allow them Transferring to your department doesn't mean they can leave Tartarus now."

"As you said, right now."

Turning around, Fanny said so.

For this, she is very confident. The manpower of Cerberus has been stretched all year round, and these Icarus rebels could not have caused the previous disaster.

Therefore, within a week at the earliest, or two months at the latest, Cerberus will turn his attention to other more valuable goals. At that time, as long as Icarus fulfilled his promise and completed the underground project, he would be able to fulfill his previous promise and release the people.

That's why she arranged for the Black Falcon-136 to be released in the last batch.

"Things will change very quickly in the future."

Fanny continued.

"Hehehe..."

In this regard, Ye Qian laughed out loud.

Fanny ignored this guy and left without looking back.

It wasn't until Fanny left the printing hall that Ye Qian smiled and said to himself:

"It is true that the situation will change very quickly in the future...

"However, can you predict which aspect of the change will be?"

…………

a.

On the first floor of the Nord resettlement area, there is a bar in the dark blue area.

Jiang Zhou was sitting in the corner of the bartender playing cards with his black and white siblings.

I don't know how much they lost. Anyway, the faces of the siblings are so gloomy that they can drip water.

"A straight flush."

Turning over the cards in his hand, Jiang Zhou put his hands on the brain-computer interface on the back of his head and leaned back.

"Why don't you count your money this round? After all, the amount is a bit large."

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said meanly.

In the next second, Jiang Zhou received a transfer application.

"TMD, stop playing!"

After transferring the money, Ms. White-skinned White threw the cards in her hand into the sky, stood up and left angrily.

"You kid, didn't you pay a thousand dollars?"

The black-skinned Mr. Black stared at Jiang Zhou suspiciously.

"This card was brought by you, how can I pay a thousand?"

Jiang Zhou spread his hands innocently.

"Then why the fuck do you always win?"

As he said that, he glanced at his account with a painful expression on his face. In less than an hour, his two months' salary had been paid in.

"I have both luck and poker skills, that's all."

Jiang Zhou replied like this.

Blake looked Jiang Zhou up and down after hearing the words, and after a little thought, he left a sentence of "fuck you" and left.

It was somewhat shameless for Jiang Zhou to answer like this.

The reason why he keeps winning money is actually unremarkable, but he used his enhanced memory ability to memorize every card, that's all.

With Jiang Zhou's memory, as long as he doesn't look away when shuffling the cards, remembering which card is what is is as easy as remembering what he ate in the morning.

If it was online poker, the siblings would never lose so badly.

Counting the money in the account, Jiang Zhou thought to himself.

In addition to the control of his own emotions, the adjustment of the depth 1 of the Path of Theseus also gave him a super memory that can never forget.

This kind of memory that allows him to silently write down all the QR codes he saw in a day is really overkill for playing poker with them.

In addition to his camera-like memory, the Path of Theseus at depth 1 also strengthens his ability to double-task and his strong spatial perception.

The former allows Jiang Zhou to pay attention to two things at the same time without missing any information, while the latter allows him to perform three-dimensional maneuvers as easily as walking on flat ground - of course, to fully utilize this advantage, you still need to install similar Climbing tools such as mantis knives.

Compared with the Icarus path, the Theseus path has been adjusted and transformed at depth 1. Although there is not a big leap in combat effectiveness, the functionality of the Theseus path is more extensive.

Standing up and stretching his neck, he turned his gaze to the dark blue who was talking to the bartender at the side.

The other party was about twenty steps away from him, and this distance was almost nothing to him.

Today is the seventh day that he has been working as a bodyguard at the Deep Blue Bar.

Booker's explanation to the organization was that because of the in-depth cooperation with the ten-level government in the future, leaving Liao Qi as a contact with them would be a good way to show the sincerity of the organization.

For this reason, Booker has personally taken over the hunt for the No. 3 figure in the Lobotomy Gang, "Silver Skull Dave".

But in fact, Jiang Zhou's real job is to ensure that Ms. Deep Blue will not suddenly turn against the water before Booker's preparations are completed.

Because of the existence of the mandala cipher, unless the other party is locked in a small black room that has opened up the realm of silence, if the other party intends to notify the tenth-level government, they will not be able to stop it.

But if the agent who placed the first floor disappeared for a month, the tenth floor government would also find out.

Therefore, Booker's solution is also very simple. He has only one criterion of judgment—consequentialism.

As long as one's preparations are not hindered by the tenth floor, it is considered that the other party has not betrayed.

On the contrary, Jiang Zhou can do it directly.

"And what if you're unlucky and your work happens to be blocked?"

At that time, after Booker said the solution, Deep Blue asked with a dull face.

"Then it's not my bad luck, but our bad luck. Let's pray together that this will not happen."

Booker replied.

So in the past few days, as long as the other party has a little leisure time, he will catch Booker with a few words.

Jiang Zhou can fully understand this.

But for him, these few days can be regarded as a little vacation.

Ever since I came to this era, all kinds of deadlocks have happened to me. In just a few days, he experienced more life-threatening moments than most people combined in their lifetimes.

It was rare for him to catch his breath now.

There is no need to go to the dark web of the abyss, and no one suddenly rushes out to kill him, and he doesn't need to kill anyone immediately.

There is no strange artificial intelligence to find me, and I don't need to pretend to be artificial intelligence in the abyss and dark web.

All in all, a very quiet week.

After Perse Fanny took her away, she didn't say anything to herself, and Ye Qian didn't use the puppet circuit to try to be a demon during this time.

The main body located in Tartarus has been lying in the medical room for radiation sickness treatment during this time—because the Hongpontine brain region is still growing, so the treatment is relatively conservative. The doomed date of death was extended by one month.

Hecate never reappears, as if she never existed.

And Pluto Deep Dive has also resumed normal operations - the closed automatic factory has reopened, and the previously miserable stock price has also steadily recovered. Of course, the navy on the World Wide Web is still patrolling at high intensity, but in some hidden forums, the urban legend that this Olympian god was previously attacked by a powerful AI in the abyss and dark net has begun to spread.

During this week, Liao Qi's emotional fine-tuning and mental index checks were all done by Bai Dong online-there are remote-operated instruments in the bar in the dark blue section, and the delay is not too high.

Apart from fine-tuning Jiang Zhou's emotions, most of Bai Dong's energy this week was devoted to treating Liao Qi's mother.

Jiang Zhou basically asks about the treatment situation every day before fine-tuning his emotions, but every time the answer is not ideal. And the money he won from playing cards during this period was basically spent on Liao Qi's mother's mental treatment.

Winston was discharged from the hospital, and although he cursed and said he would never do the job again, he ended up going to the new base where the universal printer was located. But without the cover job at the Chiron House, he now also receives the organization's subsidy.

The restoration work of Chiron House is progressing steadily. Aunt Huo wanted Liao Qi to go over to have a meal to thank him several times, but Jiang Zhou politely refused.

As for Booker, he's been on the loose this week. I have contacted him several times, but it shows that he is not in the service area, and I don't know what he is busy with.

The only time I went to the bar in the dark blue area was to tell Jiang Zhou about the follow-up of the large troops stationed in Fanny's studio.

"They want to rebuild the intelligent control center on the fourth floor."

At that time he said solemnly.

"What's wrong with that?"

Jiang Zhou asked.

This matter was a condition that they had agreed upon during the negotiation. With the construction of the intelligence control center, the next batch of captives will also be released.

"There is no problem in building the intelligent control center itself, but in order to ensure the progress of the work, they will call in a 1.414 universal printer at that time.

"I'm a little worried about this. After all, if they get a universal printer, they will be able to bypass some restrictions and put power at the bottom of the resettlement area."

Booker replied.

In order to show the sincerity of cooperation, apart from the necessary security personnel, most of Fanny's studios are native people.

But if there is a universal printer, then you can easily arm an army of adjusters at the bottom.

Even, they can recruit those gang members in the resettlement area as their thugs, as long as they do not belong to the company in name, they can bypass the legal restrictions.

That's how many gang adjusters came in the past—the company deployed a universal printer into the resettlement area, claiming that it was only printing buildings or mechanical equipment. But after they left, there were inexplicably more gangs ruled by adjusters in that area.

And those gangs happen to be enemies with local spontaneous organizations such as trade unions.

But his intuition told Jiang Zhou that Perse Fanny would not make such a small move.

However, there is still a need for vigilance.

"When can my depth 2 adjustment begin?"

Jiang Zhou asked immediately.

In the face of this threat, improving one's own strength is the best choice.

Generally speaking, the quick adjustment team is mostly at level 1, and the company is often not generous enough to let them take the path of promotion.

For that kind of rabble who are strengthened by parts, the depth 2 adjusters who are on the path of upgrading are enough to deal with many.

"In two days, the materials needed are almost all bought."

Booker replied at the time.

If you count it like this...

"At that time, it was said that it would be two days later, so it would be about this time..."

Jiang Zhou murmured.

Because his task was to monitor Deep Blue, he was always paying attention to the direction of the bar.

At this time, Jiang Zhou didn't notice that behind him, a middle-aged man wearing a hood walked into the bar in the dark blue area discreetly.

His face was covered with metal transformations, as if flesh and metal were intertwined and growing together.

If Jiang Zhou had noticed, he would have discovered that this person was the No. 3 member of the Lobotomy Gang, "Silver Skull Dave", who had been tracked down for a long time by the organization.

Tell a joke and adjust your schedule.
