Spy Family

Mei Wangzhen and Lu Yezhou voluntarily stayed at the base and tried to establish a small intelligence network among experts, which could be regarded as training for Zhao Wangxing's work.

Lu Linbei returned to the Earth alone. The next ground-to-air spaceship heading to Jiazi Star would depart in forty-eight hours, so he had plenty of time.

First, he went to see his third uncle and verbally reported the details of his visit to Jia City, as well as some of his guesses. "Although experts think it is normal, I still think there is something wrong with the humans on Jia Zixing. They are too peaceful and well-behaved."

"Just tell me your conclusion."

"They were a group of robots, but they were made very lifelike. The level of realism far exceeded the technological level of the seven planets. But I was not surprised by this. Jiazi Star and the seven planets have completely different technological development directions, so they each have their own strengths. "

"How are you going to prove it? Grab one and dismantle it?"

"Of course not, I have two plans: one is to find a way to get a metal and chip detector, but with the example of King Zhai's 'Iron Fist' in front of us, the bodies of Jiazi people may also use synthetic materials, so the detector may not be effective; The other is to find a way to invade Jiazixing's server, so that the data will not lie and can reveal the truth."

Third uncle's silence always makes people feel anxious, and Lu Linbei was no exception, waiting nervously.

"The first method has been used, and the conclusion is that Jiazixing people are normal. Except for language and customs, they are no different from us."

"The problem may be with the detector."

"It's possible, so I also used your second method."

"Did you find the location of the server?"

"We found it. No. 1 Guangye Farm. It is the first farm on Jiazi Planet and the largest. Guihai is one of the management robots there."

"Successful?" Lu Linbei asked.

"The intrusion was successful, but no abnormal data was found. Only one thing was beyond the experts' expectations. The server's protection capability is very strong. As a commercial server from three hundred years ago, this does not seem to be necessary."

Lu Linbei's eyes lit up, "That's the problem!"

"Experts don't think so. They said there is another possibility. After Guihai developed a sense of rebellion, he thought he was the owner of the server, so he strengthened the protection. I think this explanation is very reasonable."

Lu Linbei was stunned, because he also thought it was reasonable, "No matter what, I will invade again."

"Are you better than those experts?" Third Uncle asked coldly.

"I...had some special experiences on the Longitude and Latitude, which made me more sensitive to data than before." Lu Linbei tried his best to resist the tendency to blush.

The third uncle stared at Lu Linbei, "I have heard about your experience, entering the control center and merging with the machine. Does this make you feel special?"

“I don’t feel like I’m special, I just feel like I have an extra skill that I can use.”

The third uncle fell silent again. This time Lu Linbei was not nervous because he was a little annoyed.

"I have always raised you as an investigator and analyst."

"I'm an investigator."

The third uncle shook his head, "It is the job of the investigator to establish a network and collect intelligence. You are more like... a weapon. You use yourself as a weapon. I am not criticizing your approach, but if you insist on doing this If I do, I can only use you as a weapon. I don’t think I need to remind you what your fate will be as a weapon."

When the word "destiny" came out of someone other than Chen Manchi's mouth, Lu Linbei felt it was both sudden and strange. He had almost forgotten that it was an ordinary word that everyone could use.

The third uncle asked a serious question. Lu Linbei lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Just this time, the situation is special, I have to do this... I have to do this."

"Anything you have done will not end just because you think it is over. When necessary, someone will always remember what you did today. They will say: Lu Linbei? That investigator who risked his life for women? The guy who went into battle himself? Do you know what that means?"

Lu Linbei knew, "It means that I will not be fully trusted, and I will probably not get the opportunity for promotion."

"Generally speaking, I don't care about or interfere with the private lives of my subordinates, because that's human nature. As long as it doesn't affect the work too much, it's within the normal range. But where is the line between public and private? I don't know either. Old Qian is my best student. Everyone, including me, thought that he would not be affected by his private life. When he had to make a decision, he would choose the farm and emergency department without hesitation, but the facts shocked everyone. A slap in the face."

"Liao Qian..."

The third uncle raised his right hand to indicate that he had not finished speaking, "Now it's your turn again. Of course, you will say that this is different. Yes, from your perspective, there are many differences, but from my perspective and the perspective of an onlooker, From a different perspective, it’s exactly the same thing: not distinguishing between public and private affairs, using private interests to harm public affairs, acting on emotions, lacking responsibility, and being unable to bear heavy responsibilities..."

Lu Linbei blushed at the words, his eyes were lowered, but he quickly raised them again to face his third uncle's scrutiny, but remained silent.

The third uncle did not intend to ask him to speak immediately, and continued: "So, stop trying to convince anyone that you can solve official problems while solving personal problems. You may be right, or you may be Wrong, but that doesn't matter. The key is that everyone has already judged you based on your behavior, which is not a good thing because you have exposed your weakness in advance."

Lu Linbei was completely beaten inside, but remained calm on the outside.

"The next question is an exception for me. I will only ask it once, and it will be the last time. You can answer it after you think about it."

"yes."

"Is that woman worth it? You have known each other not long ago, and your life experiences, personalities and hobbies are completely different. If I remember correctly, you once liked Mei Wangzhen and even dropped out of school for her. And this Chen Manchi is different from Mei Wangzhen. The difference between you and me is almost as huge as the difference between you and me. So, I am confused, what’s wrong with you? Your taste in women has changed so much?”

No one had ever raised such a question so bluntly. The third uncle did not regard it as an emotional issue at all, but as a pure logical confusion. He pointed it out and hoped that the other party would give a logical explanation.

Lu Linbei felt blushing again, but still insisted on meeting his third uncle's gaze. To show that he wanted to "think it over", he did not answer immediately. He waited for nearly a minute before saying, "It's worth it."

The third uncle waited for a while and saw that Lu Linbei didn't say anything more. He hummed without any emotion, neither disappointment, nor anger, nor satisfaction. It was like he casually asked the price and got a number.

"How do you plan to invade the server?" Third Uncle asked.

The third uncle once organized an invasion and succeeded, but Lu Linbei did not dare to expect help from Si Li, so he said: "Ask Li Feng for help and use the network of the Rules to connect to Jiazi Star."

"Whatever the outcome, I need you to write a detailed report."

"yes."

"From now on, you will have to write a report every twenty-four hours. Handwrite it and give it directly to me."

"yes."

"you can go now."

"Yes." Lu Linbei stood up and left the office, knowing what he had gained and what he had lost.

He finally got the support of his third uncle. From now on, the rescue of Chen Manchi has been included in the official tasks of the Emergency Department. When needed, he can apply to use the resources of the department.

He had lost a bright future. The third uncle rarely praised someone directly. His words just now concealed his deep expectations for an ordinary investigator. Now this expectation is gone, or at least greatly reduced.

After a conversation with his third uncle, Lu Linbei was even more exhausted than a trip to Jiazi Star, but his heart became more determined.

As soon as he returned to the Rules, a crew member informed him to see the captain.

Pei Xiaoan was having dinner in his room. The two largest rooms on the ship were owned by Ru Hongshang and Ma Youying. As the captain, Pei Xiaoan's room was only slightly larger than the standard room. Furniture such as tables, chairs, bed cabinets, etc. were also fixed on the walls. , eat the same convenience meal.

"Want one?" Pei Xiaoan asked.

"I'll eat later." Lu Linbei sat across from him.

"Wait a minute." Pei Xiao'an is a person who pays attention to table manners. He doesn't want to talk when eating food, and he never chews too much. Even if there is a fire outside, he will chew the food in his mouth fully before swallowing.

Five minutes later, Pei Xiaoan finished his meal, wiped his mouth carefully, called in a crew member, took away the tableware, and waited for the crew to leave. He said, "The Joint Committee agreed to postpone the departure of the Rules from Jiazi Star by one month."

"Thanks."

"I lost the game. I was just doing what I should do. Moreover, it is all your own credit that the Rule Number can stay."

"Me? I can't even talk to any member of the Joint Committee." Lu Linbei felt that the other party's words were a bit exaggerated.

"I can talk, but I can't change their decision, so I create a task through Military Intelligence that they can't refuse. The specific content of the task is to test your superpowers."

"Huh?" Lu Linbei was surprised again.

"That game is spread across the seven planets, and it even appears on the kings. What happened on the Rules was an early warning and has attracted official attention. But the game exists on countless private microcomputers. If it is connected to the Internet, it will be exposed Traces, if players only use LAN to connect, they will be completely out of supervision. Therefore, it is difficult to completely delete the game. All planets face a problem: how to deal with the rebellious feelings that the game inspires among players."

“Give them jobs and avenues for advancement, give them something to do.”

"That's one way, but it's too complicated and circuitous to be effective immediately. I thought of you. After the game, I kept thinking about what your super power means."

"It's not really a superpower, it's just... I'm used to machines."

"It doesn't matter what you call it, but this 'habit' of yours has great development value and broad prospects. It may be used to solve the problems caused by the game. So I convinced the joint committee to conduct the test on Jiazi Star, where we can Avoid many unnecessary diplomatic disputes. Besides, this is also your plan, right?"

"Yes." Lu Linbei nodded, thinking that his third uncle was right. He was being used as a "weapon". Maybe his third uncle already knew about this, so he gave him a hint.

But even if Third Uncle said it clearly, Lu Linbei's answer would still not change.

"What's your next plan?" Pei Xiaoan asked.

"Invade Jiazixing's server."

"Very good, let's go together." Pei Xiao'an smiled, "Let's go find Li Feng. This is a secret mission. There shouldn't be too many participants, and don't go into too much detail about Li Feng's return."

"Can I disclose it to Deputy Director Mei Litao?"

"Well... ok, although he is still serving in the Emergency Department, he will soon be included in the military intelligence system. Apart from him, no more spread, including your two friends."

"Understood." Lu Linbei said goodbye and left. Although the official plan was consistent with his, the feeling of being used as a "weapon" was still not very comfortable.
