Indescribable cyberpunk

"Even if everything you say is true, it is impossible for the federal government to search for the organization behind the murder game you mentioned in Thousand Sail City."

Chu Yun's response had a somewhat helpless tone.

The phone was placed on the right side of the table, with the speakerphone turned on. In order to prevent the people next to her from hearing too much, Olivia also deliberately adjusted the volume and their seats, specifically sitting on the edge.

"Has the federal government's control over Thousand Sail City been so low that it doesn't even have the authority to investigate this type of case?"

Olivia knew part of the situation in Thousand Sails City, but she had been away from the Alien Bureau for a long time and her understanding of the federal government's current situation in various places was lagging far behind.

"The situation is worse than you expect. Ever since Thousand Sail City was promoted to a super city, the three major machinery groups have begun to squeeze out the federal government's various powers for various reasons. Based on the disasters that broke out around the world at that time, the federal government initially There is no way to prevent this situation. The decentralization of power has led to the invasion of capital and strong replacement. It is not that easy to come back, let alone the environment now is even worse.”

As an insider, and her father is a high-level government official, Chu Yun's exposure to information from the federal government is obviously more comprehensive and real than that of Zhu Jue and Olivia. After a short pause, he continued,

"The 'entertainment' you are talking about involves a group of wealthy people, and the main people in power in Thousand Sail City are these people. I don't need to analyze the case to know that there must be local wealthy people providing shelter behind this. It is impossible for the federal government to cooperate with Qian Sail City. These people are against it because there, capital is equal to status, and poverty means to be mean, worse than a pig or a dog!”

Although the tone of the entire world is capital supremacy, the federal government at least has laws as the code of conduct for most people. In Qianfan City, capital is the law. The capital oligarchs headed by the three major machinery groups are almost equal to the old The emperor of the era.

After listening to Chu Yun's words, Zhu Jue shook his head and signaled Olivia to end the call. Since the federal government couldn't help, he could only find a way on his own.

"Well, it seems I can only find a way on my own. Goodbye."

Noticing Zhu Jue's actions, Olivia lowered her head and said something to her phone before turning off the communication.

"Don't hang up in a hurry. I've been a little curious since just now. As the leader of the field team of the Archaeological Association, you should be involved in similar work to me. When did you get involved in such a case? You To be honest, did Zhu Jue ask you to ask me?"

As expected, Chu Yun soon realized something was wrong. Olivia shrugged, raised her hand and pushed the phone in front of Zhu Jue, making a "please" gesture.

"Yes, there are some special events involved behind this entertainment venue. I am very interested. I originally wanted your federal government to help me explore the path first, but now it seems that my expectations for you are too high."

Now that he was discovered, Zhu Jue had no intention of concealing it, so he turned his phone to himself and spoke straightforwardly.

"Are you planning to go to Thousand Sail City to cause trouble?"

Chu Yun's tone suddenly became excited and she asked quickly.

"It's to investigate some things. The word 'trouble' makes me look like a gangster. Besides, this is a secret operation. I will do my best to investigate in secret."

"Tsk, you don't seem to know yourself well enough. Haven't you noticed that you will cause chaos no matter where you go? I can bet you that after you arrive at Thousand Sails City, you will definitely set off a bloody storm there again!"

Regarding Zhu Jue's ability to create chaos, Chu Yun had never seen anyone better than him in his life, so he continued,

"The federal government can't provide you with much help in investigating the case, but if you are planning to go to Thousand Sails City to cause trouble, we may be able to provide you with assistance to a certain extent."

It is an indisputable fact that the people in power in Qianfan City are squeezing out the federal government. However, the federal government is not a government-in-exile. Even if it is ostracized, it is impossible for the Qianfan City government to get things done. Therefore, the federal government still has its own office in Qianfan City. He holds a certain amount of power, but there are very few places where these powers can be applied.

It is precisely because of this that the federal government now views Thousand Sail City quite unfavorably.

You took over my land for development, thinking it was a win-win situation. But after you succeeded, you turned around and kicked me out, not even giving you any dividends!

What else is there to say? I can’t compete with you on the territory of Qianfan City, but I can’t disgust you from other places?

"How can you help?"

After talking about this, Zhu Jue also became somewhat interested.

"You have never been to Qianfan City, and our office has been there for a long time. They have seen the changes in Qianfan City in recent years, and there is a lot of information on various aspects. I can introduce you to them and give you As a special commissioner, if you need anything then just talk to them directly."

Chu Yun did not deceive Zhu Jue. The federal government's office in Qianfan City did have a lot of information. After all, they were the managers of this city five years ago.

"Come on, I don't want to join you in this kind of thing again."

Whether he is a "special commissioner" or an "agent", if Zhu Jue agrees, whether he admits it or not, he will become a member of the federal government in the next period of time. God knows whether they will use any special means. Come and cause trouble for yourself.

"Then what do you want, you can't let us help you for free."

Chu Yun was not annoyed and asked instead.

"The special information I obtained during the investigation can be provided to you in exchange of equal value. You act as the middleman, and it is up to you to judge the value of the information."

Rather than giving information or help from charity, Zhu Jue hopes to use this more practical way to let them know that helping them is not just about giving, but also rich rewards.

"Okay, when will you leave? I need time to communicate with the office over there."

Chu Yun on the other side of the phone was silent for a few seconds and then said.

With her current authority within the federal government, it is not difficult to do this. All she needs to do is submit an application to the higher-level departments in advance.

The federal government's office in Thousand Sails City is also idle. Being squeezed out all day may have accumulated a lot of anger. I believe they will never tire of doing this kind of thing that can cause trouble for Thousand Sails City!

After taking care of the federal government, the waiter in the restaurant happened to bring a few meals to the table. Zhu Jue and Olivia didn't have the habit of eating without talking. They took advantage of this time to chat.

Most of the time, Olivia was asking and Zhu Jue was answering. They were nothing more than questions about how long they would go and whether they were prepared in other aspects. Occasionally, Zhu Jue would ask about the current status of the Archaeological Association.

Jingle bell bell~

When there were still a few noodles left in the bowl hidden in the noodle soup, Zhu Jue's phone screen suddenly lit up.

Motoko's phone number.

"Hello?"

The chopsticks were stirring in the noodle soup unconsciously. Zhu Jueben was planning to contact Su Zi after finishing his meal to tell him his decision to take action. Unexpectedly, she contacted him in advance.

Olivia, who was sitting opposite, saw Zhu Jue's expression change from relaxed to surprised, and then to serious. When he finally said "I know", his eyes were full of excitement, and she couldn't help but ask aloud: " What’s wrong, is there any emergency?”

"I just got the information that my enemy is also in Qianfan City."

Zhu Jue chewed the shredded pork, thinking about what Suzi mentioned just now, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a dangerous arc,

"Ha! I have been looking for them for so long with no results. I didn't expect to meet them here."

"It seems that you are quite busy going to Thousand Sails City this time?"

Olivia lightly traced her fingers along the side of the water glass. She had rarely seen Zhu Jue with such an urgent expression.

It seems that the only enemies who are valued so highly by Zhu Jue and can survive in his hands are only members of the "Zero" organization?

"What identity do you think is better for me to go to Thousand Sails City? Rich man, private detective, tourist, or something else."

If he wanted to launch an investigation in Thousand Sail City, Zhu Jue must have his own identity. The consultant of the Archaeological Association was too ostentatious, and records everywhere might reveal his whereabouts, so he needed a new identity.

"It depends on what class of Thousand Sails City the person you want to investigate belongs to. For example, it is impossible for the rich to leave the area at the top of the upper and lower districts of Thousand Sails City. A private detective may be a good excuse, but your identity will make You have attracted a lot of attention in Thousand Sails City, a city where the forces are intertwined, and you have to be responsible for some strange commissions that suddenly come to your door. If you don't solve them, it will only turn other people's attention to you into suspicion. As for tourists, according to Shuguang City According to the rules, all foreign tourists must apply for a certificate of entry into the city, which will make you subject to restrictions everywhere. I think Qianfan City will only be more strict in this regard."

Olivia briefly analyzed the various identities proposed by Zhu Jue, but they were obviously not very applicable. After thinking about it, she continued,

"I suggest you find a job that is less likely to arouse suspicion or that makes people feel safer than dangerous."

"for example?"

"Um, doctor or something?"

Compared with other jobs, professions like doctors, police officers, and teachers are naturally more approachable.

"Are you kidding? You can't let me study medicine now."

"Do you think you still need to read books and study to see a doctor now? Most of them are machine operations. All you need is to learn how to operate them. Well, it's actually quite complicated for you."

"What does it mean to be complicated for me?"

"You don't have an electronic brain, so you have to do it manually. Of course it's more complicated than others."

Olivia said it was natural, and Zhu Jue was speechless for a moment. However, since the electronic brain was mentioned, he had an idea. If he simply controlled medical equipment, could he do it at Motoko's level?

He called Mozi's phone number again and asked first.

"If the organization allows me to participate in this operation, I will be qualified for most information network-related occupations."

This is Motoko's reply.

Zhu Jue thought for a while, then put down his chopsticks and took a knife and fork from the side. He picked a noodle and cut it back and forth into several sections on the table.

"What are you doing?"

“I had to imitate my new career ahead of time.”

“Weird pasta taster?”

"doctor."

"What does the doctor have to do with you eating noodles with a knife and fork?"

"Because I decided my new identity would be Hannibal Lecter!"

Zhu Jue grinned, his teeth shining white.
