Indescribable cyberpunk

"Where is Ward A13?"

asked a middle-aged man wearing a mask standing in front of the hospital counter.

"You on the left side of the third floor, are you Mr. Newcastle?"

Although half of his face is covered, Newcastle, the deputy director of the Epidemic Prevention Institute, has been as exposed as the A-list celebrities in Thousand Sails City recently.

"Well, one of my friends is injured. Please keep it quiet. I don't want anyone to disturb me."

Without taking off his mask, Newcastle ordered in a low voice and turned to the elevator next to him.

He received a call from Rona 20 minutes ago. He was quite concerned about this federal spy who provided two key pieces of information. Although the matter in the underlying community had been resolved, the Ouroboros organization and the source of infection were still unknown. It was still not entirely clear, but the importance of Rona was clear to him.

Pushing open the door to the ward, Newcastle first saw Rona, who was lying on the hospital bed undergoing trauma repair treatment by a medical robot. His attention immediately turned to another person sitting on the edge of the hospital bed looking over.

A doctor who looked younger than him was holding the guardrail beside the hospital bed with his palms, his expression a little stiff, more nervous than embarrassed.

"Who is this?"

I didn't rush to speak. Some things were inappropriate in front of outsiders.

"Remember the replacement I told you a few days ago? It's him, Dr. Hannibal Lecter. I think it's not the right time to talk about this. Mr. Lecter is a trustworthy person, Mr. Newcastle, as you said. See, I was attacked. If it weren’t for Community No. 17, you might be facing my body now!”

Rona had already prepared the words, and when he finished speaking, he deliberately darkened his face, and did not conceal the anger and sarcasm in his words.

"Hey, Mr. Rona, relax. I assure you that I did not betray you. Your investigation and identity information are all handled directly by me and are confidential. Think about it carefully. If I want to kill you, now How could it be possible to come here?"

The moment he saw Rona's miserable condition and listened to his complaints, Newcastle guessed that the former should be quite suspicious of him now.

How pitiful it is that two hours ago, because he had solved the disaster in the lower-class community, his mind was filled with the urge to invite Rona to the magnificent paradise in Community No. 3 to "have fun"!

"I know, of course I know, Mr. Newcastle didn't have to do this, but it happened, didn't it? They wanted to arrest me. There is no doubt about it. They were a group of heavily armed people. I don't know if they were mercenaries or cultists. , based on my official status as the federal government, not even this kind of team, even the gangs in the lower-class communities will not be interested in me."

The implication of Rona's words is very clear. The reason why he was attacked can only be due to the leakage of transaction information between him and Newcastle.

Even if Newcastle didn't do it, it still has something to do with the Qianfan City government!

"You mean the Ouroboros organization within the government?"

Speaking of this, Newcastle, who was aware of certain problems, looked a little ugly.

"Are there any other possibilities?"

Rona "inadvertently" glanced at Dr. Hannibal Lecter who was sitting next to him, made brief eye contact, coughed twice, and then said,

"Please forgive me for being so frank. People who have access to information about me must have a high status, right?"

"Yes, the investigation about you has been carried out secretly. It was only known to me, Director Ge Lang, Ms. Margaret and other core figures. However, during the investigation, some people inevitably came into contact. Don’t worry, we will not tolerate enemy spies within the government.”

Leaving aside the rest, Newcastle never expected that the Thousand Sail City government would be an honest and honest government, but at least for the moment, he would never allow anyone to take advantage of the Ouroboros organization!

It's just that it's never easy to catch a mole, let alone one who has access to Rona's information.

"What are you going to do next? When the contaminated area was eliminated, the members of the Ouroboros organization didn't even show their faces. Obviously, they knew that the contaminated area would eventually be eliminated, and they were already ready to accept the result. There is no doubt that, They have further plans.”

Rona made a tired look, frowned, took the topic to another stage, and mercilessly lifted the fig leaf of Thousand Sail City,

Even though the Qianfan City government has been busy in the lower-level communities for so long, suffered heavy casualties, and brought out the army of androids. It seems that the battle with the Ouroboros organization is in full swing. In fact, they are just fighting those who have no idea from the beginning to the end. Just dealing with sane infected bodies.

Although it successfully "defeated" the "major" conspiracy of the Ouroboros organization, anyone who knows a little bit about the inside story knows that the Qianfan City government has not caught the culprit at all, not even the basic cadres. Occasionally, After catching a few low-level members, the latter are either unknown peripheral members or have been completely brainwashed. Let alone interrogation, they will commit suicide on the spot once they enter a desperate situation!

"Do you have new information?"

There must be a reason for Rhona to take the initiative to mention these things in Newcastle's opinion.

"Perhaps, it's just that in my current state, I am ready to leave Thousand Sails City due to my lack of motivation. As for the reason, I don't need to explain it to you anymore, right?"

Now that his identity has been exposed, Rona will be a perfect target if he continues to stay in Thousand Sail City.

He was preparing to go to Shuguang City. On the one hand, Zhu Jue specially introduced that there would be people from the federal government to meet him there, and he would also get an apartment that was several times better than the one he lives in now as a gift. In addition, this The remuneration accumulated over a period of time will be enough to provide food and clothing for his family for the rest of his life.

"You want to leave? But this..."

Newcastle stared, and as soon as the words to stop him came to his lips, he looked at Rona on the hospital bed and swallowed them back.

There is no way, even if Rona wants to continue working for them in this state, he must have this ability.

"Don't worry, Dr. Lecter will completely take over my job. I have told him my information channels. If I know it, he will also know it. Of course, some of his requirements are my requirements, and this time I hope Deputy Director Newcastle will not tell anyone about Dr. Lecter’s existence, otherwise our cooperation will be completely terminated!”

While his serious injury was still recovering, Rona found an excellent opportunity to escape, and the replacement of Hannibal Lecter, Zhu Jue, became a task that he had to complete before leaving.

"Dr. Lecter, have I seen you somewhere?"

He didn't pay much attention to it before, but now that he learned that the silent middle-aged man beside the hospital bed would replace Rona, Newcastle's attention couldn't help but turn to him. Soon Newcastle discovered that he had vaguely seen this name somewhere. He also had a vague impression of the person in front of him.

"Mr. Newcastle, it's an honor to meet you. In fact, I also participated in this action in the underlying community."

Zhu Jue took the initiative to stand up and explain that everything he did as a doctor was recorded and could not withstand scrutiny. Instead of letting the other party find out, it was better to speak out directly now to create a frank and frank impression.

"Oh? Are you also a participant in the Scavenger Project?"

Newcastle was a little surprised.

"Yes, it's just that I've been doing chores since the power outage, so there's nothing to show for it."

There were many people doing odd jobs in the community hospital at that time, and Zhu Jue didn't believe they could clearly tell whether he had appeared without cameras.

Not to mention the "witness" Lin Godot as a cover.

"No, being able to persevere in that situation instead of running away from the lower community is a testament to your character, Mr. Lecter, I"

Jingle bell bell~

Before he finished speaking, the phone rang.

"Well, what do I know? I'll be right back!"

Before he said a few words, Zhu Jue saw unconcealed surprise in Newcastle's eyes. He put down his phone and watched the two of them open their mouths. He clenched the phone in his palm and shook it up and down. Soon he seemed to think of something again. , the mood calmed down quickly,

"Sorry, there is an important meeting at the epidemic prevention center. Mr. Rona, Mr. Lecter, I guarantee on my reputation that I will never let what happened today happen again. As for the specific cooperation matters, I will contact you again tonight for your convenience. If so, leave your contact information?"

"Of course, I'll be waiting for your call."

Things at the epidemic prevention center seemed to be quite important. Newcastle left in a hurry after getting Zhu Jue's contact information.

Zhu Jue and Rona were the only two people left in the ward again.

"It seems that he doesn't know who leaked the news. Without your call, the Qianfan City government probably wouldn't have known anything about your accident. This is not entirely a bad thing. At least with this opportunity, we can retreat. Come on, let Newcastle be our umbrella."

Zhu Jue leaned back on the bench, picked up a banana on the bedside table and ate it slowly while talking.

That's right, Zhu Jue deliberately asked Rona to find Newcastle.

Newcastle is not the attacker. This has been established for a long time. Otherwise, there is no need for him to contact Ronaldo. Zhu Jue specifically asked him to come here to confirm his attitude towards this matter and let Ronaldo withdraw. Top.

Now it seems that Newcastle still has the value of cooperation.

"Sir, if they can't find me after I leave, they will probably target you. Will Newcastle really be able to provide you with shelter then?"

The deputy director of the Epidemic Prevention Institute is not the deputy minister of the Ministry of Security. He does not have armed forces. If there is an emergency, all Newcastle can do is to ask the Ministry of Security to dispatch police quickly, right?

"Ha! I really wish those people would come to me!"

After eating the last half of the banana, he raised his hand to touch the apple on the other side. Zhu Jue made a crunching sound when he gnawed it.
