"This kind of hardcover books are all like this," He Ao completed the transfer and took the book from Roger. "The inner cover is made of cardboard, and a layer of calfskin or fabric or thick paper is attached to the outside for easy storage and reading.
It’s also more expensive to go up there.”
He Ao flipped through the book in his hand, "For example, the cover of this book is a cardboard covered with a layer of thick printed paper."
"Everything has its own secrets."
Roger laughed.
Then he took He Ao to the store outside, took out a black metal body about one centimeter wide and two centimeters long, and engraved with cloud patterns from a drawer, and threw it to He Ao.
"This is?"
He Ao stretched out his hand to catch the metal body, and with a slight press, three side-by-side metal contacts slowly emerged from one end of the metal body.
These three contacts are federal standard data transmission interfaces with built-in magnetic suction, which are generally used for data transmission between devices. Heao's smart bracelet also has these three contacts, but they are hidden.
It looks like this metal body is some kind of digital device.
"Cryptocurrency hardware wallet," Roger said while driving He Ao out of his shop, "You can store your private key in this hardware wallet and use this verification directly when making payment transfers. You can
If you touch your bracelet with that contact point, you can see the instruction manual for this thing."
In the copy world, cryptocurrency is a collective name for a series of decentralized currencies that use cryptographic principles to ensure transaction security and control transaction units.
The core of cryptocurrency is no different from the toy money used by children, but because the total number of currencies is fixed and the transaction confidentiality is high, in a sense it can be used as a general equivalent or speculative object like gold and other precious metals.
In a sense, it can be regarded as digital gold.
The most important thing is that it is not a currency issued by the center, and it does not require real-name authentication to create an account. It cannot be tracked by the federal government. It is a natural currency suitable for black market transactions.
Therefore, some long-standing and widely recognized cryptocurrencies have a status close to federal currency in the black market and some trading markets, and can be exchanged for federal currency at a certain exchange rate.
"I think you can save some money quickly and you'll probably need it when you run away."
Roger pushed He Ao out of his shop, put a note into He Ao's hand, then lit a cigarette, held it in his mouth, and reached out to press the closing button of the rolling shutter door.
He slowly turned around and walked slowly into the depths of the store, "Stay alive, old guy."
He Ao opened the note in his hand and it read
[Christos campaign office phone: 207-357-3379]
He Ao watched the rolling shutter door close little by little, put away the note, then turned around and walked towards the street step by step with his cane.
——
"Hello, old man, I am Yi Jiali."
Yi Jiali held the steering wheel with one hand and connected the bracelet's communication to the vehicle's intelligent system.
"Well, are you here to pick up the book you left yesterday?"
The familiar old voice of Ikari came from the other end of the phone.
"Yes, is the book at your place? Can I come over and get it now?"
Hearing He Ao's words, the tension in Yi Jiali's heart relaxed. It's okay as long as the book is not lost. After all, a book costs several hundred federal coins, which is too expensive. "Are you in the library now?"
"No, I'm near the library," the old voice paused, "I'll send you an address."
"Okay, I'll be right over. Goodbye, old man."
Yi Jiali clicked on the address sent by He Ao and then opened the navigation.
——
"Um."
He Aoxian sat on the sofa in the coffee shop and hung up the phone.
He took his eyes away from the passers-by outside the glass window and looked down at the open book in his hand.
His eyes stayed on the thick cover.
In fact, after Ikari left last night, he flipped through this book and found nothing strange.
But Roger's words just now made him notice the thick cover of this book.
The cover of "The Fearless Morning" is not like other hardcover books, where the thick paper on the outside closely fits the cardboard inside, but is somewhat isolated.
He Ao picked up the book, leaned on the sofa, and slowly raised the book. At this angle, his left hand happened to be in the blind spot of everyone's sight.
His eyes scanned every corner of the book cover, and finally found a slight, slightly glued part in the lower right corner of the inner page of the cover.
He scratched open the adhesive part, and a thin, translucent 'plastic piece' that only covered the fingernail of his little finger suddenly slipped into his hand.
This seems to be a kind of micro storage chip. This kind of chip usually requires special equipment to read. Heao's current bracelet cannot read this kind of chip.
So he held the chip in his hand, closed the book in his hand, and slowly walked out of the coffee shop.
The moment he walked out of the coffee shop, he glanced at a black car parked at the end of the street, then walked forward calmly, and then turned into an alley when a crowd of people met and his figure was obscured.
When the people in the black car regained their sight again, He Ao was no longer in their sight.
"Mr. Aaron, I lost you. Do you want to go out and look for me?"
A tall man opened the car door and looked at the dense flow of people on the street.
"No," a calm voice came from the other end of the phone. It was Nadja's driver. "He will meet with the female lawyer. Just keep an eye on the female lawyer later."
The tall man glanced at the place where He Ao disappeared and sat back in the car.
As time goes by, the noisy streets become quieter and quieter, and the flow of people gradually decreases with the passage of time.
There were four people sitting in the car, a driver in a gray-brown coat, and three men in black suits.
At this moment, the three men all put their right hands in their coats and stared quietly at the end of the street.
The roaring sound of the car's engine came from far away, and a silver car parked in front of the coffee shop.
A slim woman wearing black leather boots stepped out of the car. She brushed her thick black hair, looked around, and then walked into the coffee shop with some confusion.
Through the transparent glass curtain wall of the cafe, you can see that she is gesturing with her hand to look like a person, as if she is asking about someone's whereabouts.
The waiter understood her description and pointed to the door, as if to say that the person had left.
She expressed her gratitude to the waiter with some disappointment, and slowly walked out of the cafe door.
Then, her hand was suddenly grabbed by a hand and pulled to the side of the alley.
Bang-bang-bang-
Three consecutive gunshots broke the silence of the street.
Three men wearing neat suits and holding pistols rushed out of the car.
There were panicked shouts, stamping sounds, and pushing sounds, and the neat crowd suddenly became confused.
Ijiali, who was pulled into the alley, looked at the silver-haired old man in front of her in surprise. Before she could ask her doubts, she saw the old man pull out a small and exquisite pistol from his arms.
Then he held the gun handle and stretched out into the alley.
