Spy Family

Lu Linbei looked at the debris on the floor, "You call it an electronic sedative?"

"Everyone calls it that. It's very helpful for relieving emotions. I need this thing. I need it very much. I don't understand..." Yang Guanghan raised his right hand and scratched his throat twice, as if he was very thirsty, and then looked at Lu Lin Bei said a little fiercely: "You have to compensate me immediately."

"It's not a sedative, it's a deception. It's a device invented by Nong Xingwen. It's used to stimulate human emotions. It's especially effective for fused people."

Yang Guanghan obviously didn't believe it, and turned his eyes to the fragments on the ground. "I bought this from a random store. I don't believe Nong Xingwen can predict where I will buy things."

"This is not an invention Nong Xingwen made just for you. His target is all Zhaowang people. The more people affected, the better."

Yang Guanghan became confused, "You mean he bought out all the manufacturers and businesses?"

"No need, he just needs to enter the production line and secretly put the code in. If I remember correctly, electronic sedatives have been around for a long time. Their effects are average and far inferior to pharmaceutical sedatives. They were available a year ago. It was not very famous, but now it has become Mr. Yang’s favorite thing.”

"Because it is indeed very effective." Yang Guanghan murmured.

"But it's what makes you depressed and convinced that you're at the end of the road."

"Could it be...that it's going to lead me to the path of suicide?"

"It will lead you to the digital world. Nong Xingwen is planning a new round of war, a war between ordinary humans and fused people. The number of fused people is too small, so he wants to support it." Lu Linbei almost knows Nong Xing Vin's every thought was, "Does anyone else around you use this?"

"Yes, there are many people. Everyone has been anxious recently, so I bought a batch of... this kind of thing."

"How long ago?"

"Soon, less than ten days."

"Think carefully, what changes have occurred after you used electronic sedatives?"

"I have complained a lot less and can sleep, but...but everyone seems to be in despair, the situation is really unfavorable, the King of Kings is retreating steadily, the Independence Army is gaining momentum, even the mayor feels uneasy, and wants me to secretly fight against the Independence I contacted the army, but I didn’t expect General Shi to leave too fast. Before I had time to negotiate, the independent army had already entered the city..."

Frustration returned to Yang Guanghan. He buried his head in his hands, took a deep breath, and raised his head, "But who am I? I am the famous Yang Guanghan. What storms have I not gone through? What dangers have I not encountered? The Independence Army Not the most ruthless, they need my connections, okay, give them, in the process, I will make more friends, this is how I have come through over the years, like Major Lu, we have been enemies, but most of them Most of the time they are friends, right?”

Lu Linbei smiled and nodded.

Yang Guanghan looked at the fragments on the ground again, "This thing is so powerful!"

"Nong Xingwen's methods are becoming more and more powerful, and he rarely even needs to come forward in person."

"Does he want everyone on King Zhao to fall into despair and then voluntarily become fusion people?"

"Despair, arrogance, curiosity, ecstasy... any emotion is acceptable, and the final result will make you dissatisfied with the status quo and lose hope in the world."

Yang Guanghan sat down slumped, and the confidence he had just generated disappeared in the blink of an eye. After staying for a long time, he said: "I think you are right, but I still can't cheer up. Major Lu, tell me the truth. What exactly do the Independence Army plan to do with me?"

The function of electronic sedatives is to stimulate original emotions. Yang Guanghan's fear of the Independence Army is so deep-rooted that he cannot get rid of it even if he is completely autonomous.

"The Independence Army doesn't like you, but you are not the person they hate the most. Therefore, the Independence Army has probably not formulated a clear plan to deal with you. As you just said, making yourself useful is the best way to save yourself. ." Lu Linbei put his right hand on Yang Guanghan's shoulder, "Beware of any electronic devices. This is the only reminder I can give you."

Yang Guanghan finally took his leave, and Lu Linbei lost all sleep and returned to the inner room to check the information.

Electronic sedatives, dream machines, memory enhancers, backup "brains"... There are many types of consumer electronic products. The war destroyed many industries, but they bucked the market trend and became more and more popular. This trend started as early as a year ago It has appeared before, rising slowly without a particularly steep curve.

There are many manufacturers, most of which are small businesses, using various gimmicks to attract customers.

Nong Xingwen is good at taking advantage of opportunities. He obviously did not participate in promotion activities, but quietly added a little "spice" to the source code of the product.

No wonder there is no trace of Nong Xingwen on the Internet. It turns out that he has moved to another battlefield.

Nong Xingwen, who has become a "ghost", is more difficult to deal with than before. He is always one step ahead of his opponents, sometimes faster and sometimes slower, making the pursuers behind him exhausted, but they cannot let go.

Lu Linbei's heart was now filled with a sense of powerlessness, almost turning into depression.

Someone came in from the outside and knocked on the inner door, "Old Bei?"

"Come in." Lu Linbei heard the voice of Mei Wangzhen. She had completed the task of "disappearing for a day".

Mei Wangzhen pushed the door open and entered the room, looking at Lu Linbei, "What happened? It seems like he was hit."

"Nong Xingwen."

As soon as the name was mentioned, Mei Wangzhen's expression immediately changed. After sitting down, he asked, "He is causing trouble again?"

Lu Linbei briefly explained Yang Guanghan's situation and his speculations, and finally said: "I should have thought of this a long time ago. He used the same method on Miss Miao, but I ignored it, thinking that it was only for specific people." The character’s special means.”

"Lao Bei, do you think you are much better than me?"

"Of course not. We each have our own strengths. Why does Sister Zhen ask this?"

"What you didn't expect, I didn't expect either. And I know Nong Xingwen no less than you do, and I have been investigating him for a longer time. So when you blame yourself, don't you also bring me into it?" ?”

Lu Linbei smiled and said: "Sister Zhen is right in criticizing me. There is no need for me to blame myself for this kind of thing. The important thing is how to deal with it."

"It's not too late. I've seen a lot of these gadgets you mentioned. Some friends and investigators around me are also using them. Because they don't need to be connected to the Internet, everyone thinks they are safe. But as far as I know, these people have not been affected by Nong Xingwen will not use this move for too long, probably after Miss Miao."

"Yes, there's enough time." Lu Linbei's confidence became stronger and he said gratefully, "Thank you, Sister Zhen."

Mei Wangzhen looked at him again, "Aren't you also poisoned by Nong Xingwen?"

"It's hard to say. Although Yang Guanghan's electronic sedative was not activated, it might have been a little affected when I crushed it, but it's fine now."

"Very good, we can discuss business now."

"Well, have you hidden your things?"

"If someone finds out, my years as an investigator will be in vain and I will resign immediately to apologize."

"Then there's no problem at all. I'm going to tell Sister Zhen about all my plans. Please think about it."

"No need to keep hiding it?"

"There is no need for Sister Zhen." Lu Linbei organized the words in his mind and continued: "The Propaganda Committee allows me to implant something else in the encrypted file. My core plan is here."

"Yes, I have always been curious. The Propaganda Committee's program has obviously failed. The three fusion people in front of Guanzhu are hiding in the server of the space station. What is your program doing?"

"My program did not enter the space station."

"Failed?" Mei Wangzhen was slightly disappointed. She had great expectations for Lu Linbei's program.

"It's not a failure. I did send a virus program to the space station. It was deleted, but it's not important because it is a backup. The main program's invasion plan has been realized long ago. The target is not the space station, but the Propaganda Committee's server. ."

Mei Wangzhen was stunned, "Is there a problem with the Propaganda Committee? Forget it, you speak slowly and I listen."

Lu Linbei nodded, "There is no problem with the Propaganda Committee, but I know that they have become a thorn in Shi Liangbi's side and the main target. Shi Liangbi was extremely unconvinced by the disastrous defeat on the battlefield and believed that the responsibility did not lie with the army and tactics. The weakness is in cyber warfare. A large number of heavy equipment chips have been damaged and cannot play their due role. The Independent Army Propaganda Committee is the main department responsible for cyber warfare. Qiu Xinyang has formed an extremely efficient team. He is good at this ."

Mei Wangzhen hummed, remembering that Qiu Xinyang first rose to fame in the independent army through cyber warfare and became an important figure.

There was a noise from outside. It was an investigator coming to work. Lu Linbei didn't pay attention and continued: "Long before the Uranians retreated to the space station, I got intelligence that Shi Liangbi had formulated a counterattack plan against the Propaganda Committee. , but it has never been implemented. When the Propaganda Committee, Security Committee and Operations Department all want to launch an attack on the space station, I guess Shi Liangbi should take action."

Mei Wangzhen understood, "Shi Liangbi plans to strike later. When the Propaganda Committee launches an attack, he will wait for an opportunity to counterattack. And your plan... is almost the same as Shi Liangbi's."

"Treat others in their own way." Lu Linbei said with a smile.

"Are you sure that King of Kings will also use network means instead of directly destroying the Propaganda Committee's command center with lasers?"

"I'm not sure." Lu Linbei put away his smile, "But I deduce that Uranus should use network means, because the Propaganda Committee has multiple sets of backup servers, and destroying the command center will only kill some personnel and destroy one or two sets of equipment. The code has no impact.”

"That's right, the best way to kill a code is another pile of codes. So the whole plan is for the Independence Army to attack first, Uranus to fight back, and then you to fight back again, and you all have the same idea, to take advantage of the opportunity. ,Right?"

"Taking advantage of a weak point and seizing the highest authority is the core content of cyber warfare. Codes can be changed, methods can be changed, but tactics cannot."

"Sounds good, what are you worried about?"

"Previously, I was worried that the three fusion people sent by Guan Zhuqian were not attackers at all, but negotiators. She had already reached a settlement with Shi Liangbi and worked together to deal with the independent army."

Mei Wangzhen was not surprised by this, "Team Leader Guan is indeed Team Leader Guan, so by cooperating with the Propaganda Committee, she actually voluntarily acted as bait and led the Propaganda Committee into a trap. What are you worried about now?"

"Nong Xingwen, he particularly cares about 'balance' so that the war can continue, but what he is doing now seems to be to break the balance, which makes me very uneasy."

"I still don't understand. Even if these electronic gadgets are 'poisonous', they won't affect the overall situation for a while, right?"

Lu Linbei thought further, "I suspect that Nong Xingwen has established contact with aliens, so he can see the higher 'big picture'. What we see as 'breaking the balance' is still a kind of thing to him." 'Balance' is just far beyond the scope of Zhao Wangxing."

Mei Wangzhen also came to his senses, "Nong Xingwen wants to add more fusion people, which shows that he wants to create a balance between fusion people and ordinary people. In other words, Jiazi Star is probably at war with major planets... What kind of chaos are the eight planets in?"
