Spy Family

More than a dozen experts stood in a row, and everyone had sweat on their faces. Dr. Zeng was in the middle, his face was livid, and there were especially beads of sweat. "Do you know how long you have been missing?"

Lu Linbei had just come out of the machine. He felt the same as before. Every cell was exhausted. His mood was at its lowest point. He was full of anger, but he didn't even have the desire to speak.

"Answer my question!" Dr. Zeng shouted.

An expert next to him whispered: "His body index is not normal."

Dr. Zeng's face was still livid, hesitating between continuing to press or letting it go for now.

Lu Linbei managed to sit up, pulled off the instrument cables on his body, and with all his strength, he forced a smile on his face and said, "I'm fine, I feel great. How long did I stay in there? Well, eight Hours."

Dr. Zeng's expression changed again, and he took a step forward, "Have you regained your abilities?"

"Let me rest for a few hours before I can give you a definite answer. I'm too tired to try right now."

Dr. Zeng thought for a while, "You can rest, but first you have to tell us, where did Ma Zhangxuan take you?"

"everywhere."

"everywhere?"

"Yes, everywhere on Zhai Wangxing's network."

"No way. And why is he taking you to so many places?"

"Nothing to do? Just show me what he's capable of."

"There have to be one or two important points, right?"

"Yes, but..." Lu Linbei raised his hands and rubbed his temples, "I don't think I should say these things to you, and I am too tired. If I am so tired every time, I don't think I can do it a few times. Human-machine fusion..."

"Okay, you go and rest first, then I'll take care of the whole process."

Lu Linbei smiled, but no longer had the energy to answer.

He was carried onto a lying cart, returned to his original room, fell onto the bed and fell asleep, not even paying attention to who was taking off his coat.

He is like a person who has not exercised for too long and suddenly resumes the amount of exercise at his peak. His body cannot bear it at all. For him, it is his brain that is affected.

He didn't think about anything, he just slept deeply. Even if the nuclear bomb that destroyed the world came, he didn't want to open his eyes.

When he finally woke up, Lu Linbei felt a hundred times more energetic, which was completely different from the deep sleep during space travel.

It was a good sleep. He did not get up immediately. Instead, he stared at the ceiling and began to recall that experience. The first thing he did was to distinguish what was real? What are games? What is data?

"Are you awake?" someone said.

Lu Linbei turned around and recognized Cui Zhuning.

"What's your expression?" Cui Zhuning said with a smile, sitting on the chair and crossing one leg, "It's like you don't recognize me."

"I'm judging."

"Judge what?"

"Is this the real world? Or a virtual game?"

Cui Zhuning seemed to want to give a direct answer, but changed his mind midway and asked: "Where is the conclusion?"

"This is the real world." Lu Linbei smiled, turned over and sat up, "Hello, Director Cui, how long have I been asleep?"

"For ten hours, two simple tests were conducted on you, and you didn't know anything about it?"

"have no idea."

"Congratulations on a good night's sleep."

"Thank you." Lu Linbei looked embarrassed because he found that he was wearing a surgical hospital gown, like a long apron covering the front half of his body, with nothing on underneath.

"I'll wait for you outside. Let's go get something to eat. I guess you must be hungry." Cui Zhuning was considerate.

Ten minutes later, the two of them found a place to sit down in the restaurant. It was not yet time for dinner. There were no outsiders in the huge place. Several cleaning robots were working. Food and drinks were delivered by an automatic food delivery system. It was not a convenience meal, but Real beef with vegetables.

"The food at the base is really good, much better than the training camp." Lu Linbei said, picking up the tableware and getting ready to eat.

"A group of Zhai Wangxing's best experts are gathered here, so of course we can't treat them badly." Cui Zhuning only ordered one drink.

Lu Linbei finished a portion of the meal at the speed of an army. He was eighty percent full and just right. He pushed the plate away and said, "That's it."

Cui Zhuning smiled and said, "What kind?"

"Now that I can return to the machine, I accept the task. Of course, I'm not very skilled at it now. Once I get used to it, there should be no problem."

"Great, that's the answer I want. As the first step of the mission, I hope you can help us catch the horse."

"As long as I can do it, I will definitely cooperate fully."

"Thank you again. Can you tell me why Ma Zhangyang insists on finding you and where you have been?"

"Of course." Lu Linbei started from more than a month ago, when Ma Changyang appeared as a robot for the first time, trying to prove that the Jingwei was framed, to the Internet roaming more than ten hours ago, "I don't know The specific places were because Ma Zaiying led the way. I went in with him as a subsidiary program, and he showed me some top-secret documents."

Cui Zhuning kept nodding, and occasionally asked detailed questions. When he heard the words "top secret document", his face became obviously serious, "What specific document is it?"

"Am I now a recruit in training? Or an investigator who has been temporarily recalled?"

"We need an experienced investigator, not an ordinary recruit." Cui Zhuning said with a smile.

"As an investigator, I cannot disclose to you the contents of these documents."

Cui Zhuning was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "The confidentiality level of the document exceeds my level?"

"I can't judge the level. I just feel that...according to the old rules of investigators, it is best not to come into contact with secrets that have nothing to do with you. I have learned a profound lesson about this."

Cui Zhuning laughed twice and said, "I understand. Regardless of the documents, you voluntarily accept the task and go to Jiazi Planet to find a network breach. Are you sure?"

"OK. Of course, I still need your help, those 'armors' and 'weapons' that I promised before..."

"Nothing less."

"I hope one or two of them will stop the horses from wandering."

"Please believe the experts from King Zhai, they...their strength has not been fully utilized." Cui Zhuning said these words without confidence.

Lu Linbei was sent back to his residence, and soon someone took him to see an expert.

Dr. Zeng and others had obviously been reminded not to ask about where they had been, but to focus on computer program issues. Lu Linbei contributed several programs he had copied from Ma Yuyang.

Although they didn't say anything, the experts were obviously surprised. They immediately started researching as if they had found a treasure. Lu Linbei reminded them: "These are just a few 'conventional weapons' that Ma Changyou has. He has a 'weapons library', and the things in it are The vast majority were not shown to me.”

Dr. Zeng took a cursory look at the program code and became more confident. He said to Lu Linbei: "The program is very sophisticated, but the routines are the same. No matter how rich Ma Changxu's 'weapon library' is, it cannot escape this scope."

Lu Linbei nodded in agreement, "I don't know much about programming, but can I make some requests?"

"Of course, the more specific the better. We are going to write the program around you. Your comfort is one of the most important indicators." Dr. Zeng was very happy and seemed to have forgotten some of Lu Linbei's previous disrespect.

"The first is the problem of entering the machine. Today's machines, especially official and military machines, are indeed much more defensive than before. I can no longer invade through wireless connections, but I can't use instruments every time, so …”

"Understood, we have recorded your brainwave data and will develop a simple set of equipment that only you can use. It will not be detected or attract the attention of outsiders."

"That's what I mean."

"Any more?"

"The next problem may be more serious. Give me some time and I can regain my previous abilities, but it's easy to get in and hard to get out. It was the same in the past and it's the same now. If I stay in the machine, it will be meaningless to King Zhai."

Dr. Zeng nodded repeatedly, "It's good that you can think of this problem. We have also found similar problems in other testers. The higher the degree of fusion, the easier it is to get stuck in the machine and not get out. The most terrifying thing is that he will gradually Losing all emotion—and somehow loyalty to the planet and the institution is always the first to be lost."

Lu Linbei smiled and said, "It's really hard to understand."

Dr. Zeng sighed, "We have been studying this problem, hoping to find a way to allow the fusion person to actively separate from the machine anytime and anywhere. After all, what we need is a human being, not another supply for Jiazixing and Longitude." A fusion person. The good news is that our research has already gained some insights. The bad news is that it is not yet mature. You have provided some valuable data, which will be very helpful. So, please rest assured, within a month, we will Come up with a plan that satisfies you.”

"good."

"What else?" Dr. Zeng looked excited and ready to do something big.

"This is for now. If I think of anything else, I will communicate with you at any time."

"No problem, we may also need to collect some more data."

"Cooperate at any time."

Both of them laughed, and the surrounding experts also laughed, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

Lu Linbei returned to his residence and spoke to his wife first. His network permissions had been upgraded. Not only could he talk to the outside world, but he could also browse information. The normal functions of the bracelet chip could basically be used, but Dr. Zeng reminded him, All network activities in the base will be monitored, not just for Lu Linbei, but for everyone. Only the highest level of authority can keep some secrets.

Lu Linbei didn't care about surveillance. Even in the boot camp, he couldn't talk to his wife at will.

It was Chen Chengchi who said the most. She was looking forward to the end of the training period as soon as possible, because she heard that the recruits would have a transition period of two or three days before going to the army and be able to go home.

Not long after the call ended, another visitor came to visit. This time it was Tang Baoxin and Cui Zhuning. The latter did not enter the house and stayed outside.

Tang Baoxin's position was deputy director of the General Intelligence Bureau. As for why a person with obvious military background was stationed in the General Intelligence Bureau, Lu Linbei had no way of knowing.

"Cui Zhuning said his level is not enough, what about me?" Tang Baoxin said in a relaxed tone, as if he was telling a joke, hoping to get the other party's laughter.

He was disappointed.

Lu Linbei shook his head.

Tang Baoxin showed a bit of embarrassment and quickly covered it up, "Haha, it turns out my level is not high enough. Don't you think it would be better to inform Cui Zhuning in advance?"

"Director Cui is an experienced investigator. If I give him a specific level, he can basically guess the general content of the secret. In that case, there is no point in keeping it secret."

Tang Baoxin was slightly startled, "But if you don't tell me the specific level, what can I do? Invite people up one level at a time until they meet your requirements?"

"No, I think we can stop here. After Deputy Director Tang leaves, you don't need to say anything, just let everyone think you have got the secret and cut off those associations that shouldn't be there."

"Then what?" Tang Baoxin asked coldly.

"Then ask Deputy Director Tang to arrange a three-day vacation for me. I will solve this problem and let Deputy Director Tang know."

Tang Baoxin's face became colder and colder. He had always been a high-ranking man. He had never been a soldier when he joined the army, and he had never been an ordinary investigator when he entered the intelligence community. It was difficult for him to accept requests from grassroots personnel, which made him feel threatened. .

"Be careful not to abuse your abilities, let alone the secrets you have access to."
