Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 98 NO.0061: White-eyed Wolf and Bodyguard

The notification came very suddenly. Five seconds after the assembly bell rang, a young man with a lot of data cables tied up like dreadlocks behind his head pushed open the door and strode in.

Jiang Zhou knew this person.

The guy from the bottom of the Nord resettlement area, who had studied with Liao Qi in the talent incubation center run by Pluto Deep Diving Company.

That guy named Lu Yuan.

Jiang Zhou remembered that this guy was appreciated by his superiors because of his outstanding performance in the subject of network offense and defense. After that, he was promoted and skipped grades all the way, and finally became an intern of Pluto Deep Dive Company directly—and also became a model for Liao Qi's mother to get rid of the fate of the slums through the company's promotion system.

In Liao Qi's memory, he can't remember how many times his mother told him how promising this child Lu Yuan is in the future, and then asked him to work hard to learn from others.

This is how it feels to be compared with "other people's children"...

Recalling those memories of Liao Qi, Jiang Zhou who was always regarded as "other people's child" couldn't help but think.

But unexpectedly, this person came directly to Tartaros...

I have to say that Jiang Zhou was a little surprised to see this person here.

As a new god of Olympus, the background of Pluto Diving Company is far inferior to the original twelve companies. Therefore, perhaps out of security needs, the company headquarters, Tartarus, where the α-level deep-diving physical interface is located, has always been Pluto's secret.

Only core company members are allowed to enter here.

But the Lu Yuan in front of him even wore the logo of an intern — being able to go to Tartaros as an intern, it is really no problem to say that he has a bright future.

"The person whose name I have read, please come with me."

After speaking, he stood still, and Lu Yuan's gaze casually swept across the crowd in front of him. During this period, his eyes stayed on a few of them for a while, and his eyelids twitched a few times.

Immediately, he cleared his throat and read:

"Qianxia Sakura."

"Brand Carr."

...

Lu Yuan recited the names of the previous deep dive salvage members one by one. At this moment, Jiang Zhou suddenly heard a low curse from behind him.

"Fuck, this white-eyed wolf should have starved to death in the first place."

Looking back, the member of Icarus whose name was called before, named Brand, was staring at Lu Yuan who was reading the list at the moment, with an expression of disgust clearly written on his face.

"Which white-eyed wolf?"

Jiang Zhou asked curiously.

"Just the guy who's saying his name, he used to be..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Yuan just finished reading the list.

"Black Falcon-136, Theseus."

The last is Jiang Zhou's code name. After reading it, he raised his head and continued:

"Those whose names have been read above, please come out and wear restraints as instructed."

After speaking, the door behind him opened by itself.

Outside the door, there stood neatly two rows of security members wearing full-coverage red and black shell armor and holding stun guns.

And beside each of them, there is a power skeleton used as restraint.

Jiang Zhou noticed that the three-headed dog logo was printed on the armored shoulders of the security guards outside.

These are the people of Cerberus...

A burst of uneasiness flooded Jiang Zhou's heart in an instant.

…………

On the way to the third deep diving chamber, Jiang Zhou asked about the situation.

It turned out that the guy named Lu Yuan was a war orphan adopted by Chiron's family in the past.

His hacker talent was discovered by the organization very early, and the former team leader Kerrett wanted to train him as the leader of the hacker team.

But when Lu Yuan became an adult at the age of seventeen, he left the Chiron House without a word, and went to the Talent Incubation Center run by Pluto Deep Dive for advanced studies.

And what happened later was to inherit what Liao Qi remembered - Lu Yuan's hacker potential was discovered by the company, and then he reached the sky in one step.

Considering that his earliest talent development was related to Icarus, it is no wonder that this person is called the white-eyed wolf by them.

However, Jiang Zhou didn't care too much about whether that person was a white-eyed wolf or something, or it was useless to care about such things.

After all, there are more important things to care about right now.

For example, the purpose of their trip.

When wearing the restraint power skeleton, the other party has already told them bluntly where they are going next - the third deep submersible, the department Ye Qian is in charge of.

Going to the deep dive warehouse is naturally going to dive to salvage, but Jiang Zhou doesn't believe that Ye Qian has the ability to get them, the Icarus people, back from Perse Fanny's hands.

After all, even for the matter of sowing discord in the Nord resettlement area, Ye Qian had to use such a cover-up method... and finally failed miserably.

This shows how weak his faction is now.

These, plus the security forces escorting them there, were all from Cerberus.

In this way, the reason for this deep dive operation becomes obvious.

verify.

Verify that the previous accident had nothing to do with any of them.

Probably only Cerberus came forward, and in the name of this reason, could Perse Fanny be able to make concessions.

If that's the case, then it's nothing, maybe I can take this opportunity to smuggle a batch of more technological blueprints out.

However, Jiang Zhou vaguely felt that things were not that simple.

After all, in the abyss dark net, in that place that cannot be monitored, if someone wants to make something unexpected in it, it is too simple.

Thinking of this, suddenly, in Jiang Zhou's brain-computer interface, the imprint left by Hecate suddenly sent him a reminder.

After a lapse of a week, Ye Qian once again tried to use the "puppet circuit" to influence Jiang Zhou's emotions.

He hoped that Jiang Zhou would become irritable and impulsive in the coming time.

…………

"Actually, I don't want to do that, but that's what Cerberus meant. So, Ms. Fanny..."

Ye Qian said sincerely.

Regarding this, Fanny said sullenly:

"Then this is really a convincing reason. You mean, among those who dived earlier, some were chosen by the Goddess of the Moon as candidates for her steed... just because of those people?"

Ye Qian just shrugged and replied:

"But you have to admit that several of them, or at least one of them, is really talented..."

"Talent? Is this a question of talent? What kind of talent do you think is needed to be able to carry the goddess of the moon who is suspected to come from the super abyss and almost removed Diana from Olympus?"

Fanny interrupted.

In her opinion, this is the other party's intention to use this name to destroy her layout in the Nord resettlement area.

After all, if one wants to become a "horse" at the level of Hecate, one must have a depth of 7 that breaks through the limit of human intelligence.

And "Theseus" is destined to be impossible to break through the limit of human intelligence after embarking on the "Road of Theseus", the dead end road with a maximum depth of 5.

"Perhaps the god of the three-fork intersection would be willing to train him from scratch? Wouldn't that just put him back like this? Miss Fanny, as employees of the company, we need to start with the interests of the company first. ,after that……"

Ye Qian said so.

"It is impossible for an existence from the super abyss to care so much about a guy who was a native before. Besides, even if he really wanted to do this, without an alpha-level deep dive interface, he would not be able to break through the Styx Firewall... How many times have I said that it is safest to let them leave Tartarus."

Fanny pursed her lips and continued.

"you are wrong."

Ye Qian shook his head.

"The safest option is always to let them sleep forever."

Then, before the other party attacked, he hurriedly continued:

"Of course, I can understand it too. After all, your work over there needs these people, and they need them to win the trust of those poor people who were hurt by my rough behavior before."

When the word "rough" was mentioned, Ye Qian couldn't help showing a contemptuous smile on his face.

"So, please rest assured about this. I promise with the Cerberus operation leader that every one of them will be able to return safely in the end."

Ye Qian said so in a very sincere tone.

Of course, it was confirmed that they had no connection with Goddess Hecate.

he added.

"Guarantee? Dive into the abyss and dark net, and no one can guarantee that they can come back safely."

Fanny answered coldly.

Regarding this, Ye Qian just smiled and said:

"No, this time a depth 4 combatant will be sent to dive with them.

"It's as much surveillance as it is their bodyguard."

"who?"

Fanny was taken aback for a moment, then asked immediately.

"The vice-captain of Wolfbane Army, Aconitum-23, the personal disciple of Mr. Aconitum-1.

"Walking on the upgrade path Cerberus, the adjuster of Depth 4."
