Indescribable cyberpunk

Awei BBQ restaurant.

It's not Ah Wei's barbecue restaurant, but a barbecue restaurant opened by a boss nicknamed Ah Wei.

Because the store is located close to the Anling City train station, this is one of the few barbecue shops in Anling City that is open until the early morning.

It was already night when Zhu Jue returned to Anling City in Linda's car. He hadn't eaten much all day, so he just came here and ordered all the barbecues, and sent Olivia a message by the way. Text message, now that their whereabouts are known to them, there is no need to avoid it. He happened to have something to ask her.

"What happened when we were in Greenland? Why did we stay frozen for five years?"

Olivia leaned the dripping umbrella outside the shop, took a cup of tea to relieve fatigue, and asked Zhu Jue as soon as she sat down in front of him.

This kind of experience sounds a bit ridiculous to ordinary people. You must know that modern freezing technology is not impossible to freeze a person for a long time, but it must be done naturally in the wild environment of Greenland with the help of various instruments. There can be no such things.

"I can only say that it was an accident. The situation was very complicated and it was not voluntary on my part. But overall, apart from the fact that too much time has passed, I have benefited a lot."

This is the truth. In the past five years of freezing, Zhu Jue has completely eliminated the hidden dangers in his body. Not only has his spirit returned to normal, but he has also carried out an all-round "upgrade" with the help of the power of the Ancient Crystal.

It's just that there are too many things involved, so it's not convenient to tell Olivia.

"The plane from Greenland that appeared in Dawn City yesterday, did you come on it?"

Olivia suddenly remembered the uproarious Greenland escape plane incident that was reported in the news some time ago, and couldn't help but ask.

"Otherwise, what do you think? I arrived in Shuguang City last night, and today I came to Yecheng to look for wind chimes. I'm tired."

He took out two honey-colored agate stones from his backpack and held them in his hands, rubbing them against each other with his fingers like a plate of walnuts.

If someone observes them with precise instruments, they will find that the volume of these two agate stones continues to shrink during the collision, and their color becomes slightly dull.

This is not the effect of the plate, but Zhu Jue extracting the energy from it. This is what he discovered on the way back. Whether it is ruby ​​or these honey-colored agate stones, they all contain some special energy, which can be used to enhance your mental strength.

Although the amount of each gemstone is not large, the advantage is that the quantity is large. When Zhu Jue fully absorbs the five bags of gems in his hand now, he should be able to bring as much as the two pots of "newbie gift bag" that the gentleman gave him before. Effect.

The only regret is that the efficiency of absorbing the energy of these gems is really low. According to the method Zhu Jue is using now, he can only absorb about two in a night.

This is still on the premise that his soul is liberated. Otherwise, as if his soul was autistic before, even if he holds these gems, he will not be able to feel the energy in them at all, and can only regard them as ordinary gems.

Thinking about it now, luckily I didn’t sell them because I didn’t lack money.

Otherwise, it is easy to cause trouble.

Closer to home, Zhu Jue took the initiative to call Olivia out this time because he wanted to find out inside information about the Yecheng incident through her.

"You have now joined the Archaeological Society"

Before even asking a few questions, Zhu Jue heard Olivia talk about his identity and asked with some surprise,

"The special operations team doesn't want you anymore?"

"The Anqing Mansion is gone, where is the special operations team? During your absence, the federal government planned several plans to recapture Anqing Mansion, but in the end it failed to curb the spread of monsters and had to give up in the end. And we, Members who originally belonged to the Anqing Prefecture Special Operations Group have also been assigned to various departments in other regions."

According to the assignment, Olivia joined the Dawn City Monster Countermeasures Bureau. However, because Dawn City is a super city, there are not many mental pollution monsters to deal with inside. Therefore, after working in the Dawn City Monster Countermeasures Bureau for two years, she took the initiative to apply. Transferred to the Archaeological Society.

Although the Archaeological Association and the Monster Countermeasures Bureau are now two completely different organizations, three years ago, when the Archaeological Association first started to build a field bureau to investigate monster incidents that caused mental pollution, it still relied on the Monster Countermeasures Bureau for help, and even provided assistance to the Monster Countermeasures Bureau. The federal government provided a lot of confidential information in order to recruit some people from the Monster Countermeasures Bureau to fill the vacancies in the Archaeological Association and establish a preliminary framework.

It is precisely because of this that Olivia was able to rise from a member of the special operations team without any backstage background to her current position in three years.

"Since you have a high status in the Archaeological Association, you probably have access to a lot of information. How much do you know about the Yecheng incident?"

After listening to Olivia's simple description, Zhu Jue knew that he had found the right person this time.

"zero!"

"Hey, this is a bit too much. Let's say something."

"The 'zero' I'm talking about is not a number, it's a name!"

Taking a sip of herbal tea, Olivia frowned and said the name of an organization.

"zero?"

Zhu Jue asked again with some embarrassment.

"This is a very special cult organization. It cannot be simply called a sect, but a collection of certain cults that exist around the world, such as those we met at the Rongxia City Spring Festival Parade. , they belong to a local cult organization, the Holy Spirit Sect. Because of you, the plan of this sect was completely broken, and the leader of the organization died on the spot. Then, in the subsequent investigation, it was discovered that the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect, who claimed to be the Taoist Master, People have close contacts with this religion called 'Zero'. Similarly, through satellite images at that time, we found that the old man who appeared in the music dome was very similar to a suspect who had appeared on the federal wanted list very early. His title in 'Zero' is Merlin!"

Olivia noticed that Zhu Jue's expression was a little confused, and then explained,

"Merlin is a legendary magician in English and Welsh mythology. He is powerful and full of wisdom. He can predict the future and transform. He is famous for helping King Arthur ascend the throne and leaving behind various deeds. He is King Arthur's best friend and mentor. According to existing information It is speculated that the member codes of the cult organization 'Zero' are almost all mythical people. In fact, they do possess powers that are regarded as miraculous in the eyes of most people!"

"Um"

Speaking of the situation in Rongxia City, Zhu Jue immediately thought of the crack that appeared in the sky and the large group of Baiyaki flying out of it. This kind of power can indeed be called a miracle in the eyes of most uninformed people. .

As Rong Xiacheng's memory resurfaced in his mind, Zhu Juepan's movement of the honey-colored agate stone paused slightly, and said to himself: "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Sutra, I thought it was a myth at the time, but now It seems like it might be something real, that being the case.”

His eyes fell on the backpack beside him, and Zhu Jue suddenly realized that the "Book of Dekian" he had obtained, which was copied by Flo after being taught by the "mentor" in the dream, was probably not a simple thing. Look, It's worth going back and studying it carefully.

"What are you talking about? Mr. Xuan"

"I'm just saying that the bacon enoki mushrooms here are delicious. Do you want a bunch?"

Picking up the meat skewers on the tray and passing them over, Zhu Jue continued,

"Is there any other news about this organization? Finally, the location of its members and so on."

"I'm sorry, those are the secrets of the Archaeological Association. The information I just told you is the limit of what I can say. As a member of the Field Bureau of the Archaeological Association, I cannot take the initiative to leak the secrets of the Association. That would violate my employment status. The confidentiality agreement I signed when I was here, if you are discovered, you may have to go to the heavy prison in Dawn City next time you want to see me."

Olivia has not actually been promoted yet, but she emphatically mentioned the Field Bureau and its possible contact with the cult organization "Zero" in front of Zhu Jue.

"Is it confidential? Do you know of any way to find similar information?"

Zhu Jue respects Olivia's work, and he would not force her to reveal those secrets. That is what one would do to an enemy, and her behavior today of following Olivia to the outer city in order to confirm her identity made Zhu Jue classify her. in your friends column.

"If there is a way to do this, please tell me!"

Olivia's reply was quite straightforward. The Archaeological Association is currently working hard to collect information about this organization. If there were channels in this regard, it would have been discovered long ago.

"Tsk, what do you think?"

Zhu Jue, who realized how stupid his question was, swallowed three pumpkin cakes in embarrassment and asked vaguely.

"You are asking me for help, is that okay with me?"

As the conversation progressed, Olivia's eyes showed a bit of smile. She pulled her collar with both hands and straightened her coat, which was wrinkled due to sitting for a long time. She leaned on her cheek with her left hand and locked eyes with Zhu Jue, who was wearing light makeup. With the heavy rain outside the window, her temperament became colder and colder.

Zhu Jue was frozen in the inland ice sheet of Greenland for five years. He thought that his friends were still the same as before. In fact, in the five years of sudden changes in the world, they had already grown to new heights.

"You can think so."

He always felt that something was wrong, but Zhu Jue nodded anyway.

"You want to obtain confidential information within the Archaeological Association and find out about 'Zero', the monster that causes spiritual pollution, and those mysterious legends. There is only one way, and that is to join the Archaeological Association!"

This is Olivia's suggestion.

"Can anyone join the Archaeological Association at will? I'm a gangster now."

No matter what era the Archaeological Association was in, they did not recruit people at will. After all, the things they encountered in the association were not acceptable to ordinary people. With Zhu Jue's current status, he was not even qualified to participate in the assessment established by the Archaeological Association.

"I will soon become the captain of the Field Bureau, which is a big position. According to the internal regulations of the Archaeological Association, new captains have certain rights to choose their own investigation team members. With my relationship, I can let people participate The internal assessment of the Archaeological Association is not difficult."

Taking another sip of herbal tea, Olivia clearly had a smile of success in her eyes. Thinking of what she had just experienced in Yecheng, she paused for a few seconds and raised her eyebrows and said,

"If you beg me, I will make you my subordinate."

Five years ago you were my boss. Not only did you dislike me, you also ignored me.

Five years later.

Time to change positions!
