Chapter 40 The storm is about to come and the storm is coming.
There was a faint light coming from the direction of the bathroom, and the sound of running water stopped suddenly.
Half a minute later, the man wearing a bath towel stepped on the carpet covering the living room with his bare feet.
He took out a can of energy drink from the refrigerator, and the light from the refrigerator illuminated the space in the room.
The carpet shows colorful patterns, which look very much like Japanese ukiyo-e paintings from the old days.
The man stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with an energy drink and stared out. The electronic clock tower in the distance showed the time at seven o'clock.
Within a few seconds, various LED lights on the rows of high-rise buildings lit up one after another, symbolizing the arrival of nightlife in Qidao City.
The man wearing a bath towel let out an appreciative sigh.
A burst of unhurried footsteps came from behind. The man did not look back, but still stood in front of the window and stared dreamily.
"Prince."
The woman in a beige suit stopped one meter behind him, folded her hands cautiously in front of her belly, and nodded slightly.
Half of her body was hidden in the shadows of the living room, while the other half, illuminated by the city lights coming in from the window, showed that her makeup was very rich and heavy.
The woman has smoky purple eye shadow and plump red lips, and her frighteningly white face looks like it has been covered with a layer of frost.
"Is there anything to report?"
The man who was called the dean by the heavily made-up woman wiped his wet hair with a towel covering his head, and raised his right arm to bulge out his strong bronze biceps.
"Ke Ziqian was caught."
"Really? So fast." The dean took a sip of the energy drink in his hand, "Then how much value has he created for us?"
"We have obtained the data from roadu's computer to breach the security bureau's firewall. Theoretically, unless they completely change the system's defense logic, we can make it paralyzed again at any time we like," the woman with heavy makeup said affirmatively.
.
The dean pondered for a moment and asked: "But it won't last long, right? With today's experience and lessons, they will be able to respond faster and more efficiently when they encounter hacker attacks in the future."
"It is estimated that they can be paralyzed for at least five minutes. After that, if the electronic countermeasures suppression can be maintained, the breakthrough point can be extended accordingly."
"Five minutes... I understand. By the way, have the refraction injuries been treated?"
"Don't worry, the Immortal, his left arm has been transformed into a prosthetic body. However, this temporary transaction through a black market middleman is a bit hasty, and the security bureau may soon find out the clues."
The dean smiled: "It doesn't matter. By the time they find out, it's already too late."
The eyes of the woman with heavy makeup widened slightly: "But aren't there still nine days left before the operation to rescue the 'Yin' leader?"
"They will act in advance."
"The dean has a clever plan and everything is under control."
"We are just apostles who represent God's will, and we should always have a humble heart."
The man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window looked back, his eyes shining like stars in the darkness.
The woman with heavy makeup did not dare to look at him and lowered her head humbly.
"I have reached an agreement with the Mountain. They will be responsible for dealing with the defense forces and assisting our retreat. Our mission is to defeat the Qidao City Security Bureau at all costs and rescue the Yin."
The curtains behind him closed automatically, blocking the light outside the window and plunging the living room into complete darkness.
"Then...is there anything else I can do for the dean before the decisive battle?" The woman with heavy makeup asked piously as she looked into her shining golden eyes.
"'Siren', there is a person I am very interested in. When the day of action comes, go and bring her back in person."
"A person that the dean is very interested in?"
"No matter whether the rescue operation fails or not, you don't have to take risks. You only need to take that person to the designated place. If I and others fail, the 'mountain' will help you retreat."
"Is the Imam not going to let me take part in the rescue operation of the 'Yin' Imam?" The heavily made-up woman codenamed "Siren" seemed to be shocked, with a trembling voice of grievance.
"I think everyone has something they are good at. Rather than wasting your talents on head-to-head battles, I hope to retain the spark of rebirth for the organization."
After saying that, the dean sat cross-legged on the carpet and closed his blazing golden eyes.
The Siren did not dare to disturb his meditation, bowed to him and silently exited the room.
She carefully closed the door, stood in the corridor of the apartment, took out her mobile phone and checked her mailbox.
A new email with the sender name "Armageddon" appears at the top of the list. After clicking on it, there is a citizen profile.
"Citizen ID, Qin Yuqing. 33 years old, female. "Qingkong" Psychological Clinic, expert mental health counselor."
The siren stared at Qin Yuqing, who was wearing frameless gold-rimmed glasses and smiling in the profile photo, with a disdainful smile at the corner of her mouth.
……
At the second intersection of Shishi East Road, Yu Zhesen led reluctant Lu You and waited for the green light on the sidewalk.
Sun Minghang was serious. As expected, she parted ways with him after arriving at the community, saying that she was in a hurry to go home and watch the live broadcast of that Cyber Diva.
So this kind of person is actually quite easy to deal with... Yu Zhesen thought to himself that Claire's fear that Sun Minghang would beat Lu You for Yi Guang was completely unnecessary.
You can think about it with your feet, how can a person like this kind of person who opens his mouth to the virtual AI and says "Hi! Wife" have only one "wife"...
"Uncle, are you really from the Security Bureau?" Lu You asked anxiously while crossing the road.
"Of course I'm from the Security Bureau... Bah, what kind of uncle, call me brother, am I that old?"
Yu Zhesen put his hand on Lu You's head and ruffled his soft hair.
"Then...am I really going to be exiled to the pioneer area?" Lu You's trembling voice showed that he was very scared inside.
Yu Zhesen felt that the lesson he had given this boy was almost enough, and he was not interested in continuing to scare a child, so he told him the truth:
"It shouldn't be that serious. After all, you are still a minor. Exile and imprisonment are generally not used on minors."
Ten minutes later, Yu Zhesen took Lu You to the lobby on the first floor of the Security Bureau Police Building, where clerks from the Education Department were already waiting there on Claire's orders.
Yu Zhesen handed Lu You over to the clerk of the Education Department and called Claire in the lobby. Soon a female commissioner in a blue uniform came out of the elevator to greet him.
"Hello, we have met before, do you remember?"
The person sent by Claire to pick up Yu Zhesen was Commissioner Meng Dongxia numbered b3714, the guy who dressed up as a stuffed bear at the Dream Journey theme park on the day of the blind date.
"Hello, Miss Meng." Yu Zhesen nodded politely to her.
"Commander is down below. I'll swipe the elevator card for you. This way."
Meng Dongxia helped Yu Zhesen open the elevator door and stood outside the door and said goodbye to him with a smile.
Yu Zhesen came to the tactical command center on the underground floor and found that Claire was the only one sitting on the chair in front of the console, staring up at the big screen above.
On the screen was Ke Ziqian, who was put on a straitjacket and fixed on a rotating recliner. He closed his eyes tightly and remained motionless, as if he was asleep.
"Instructor, I'm back."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Claire took out a can of beer from the cabinet under the table and threw it to him.
Yu Zhesen opened the ring of the can, looked at the big screen in front of him and asked: "Did he faint? Has the interrogation not started yet... or have you tortured him?"
"The interrogation is over. We injected him with a sedative." Claire replied.
"Then...did you ask anything?"
Claire picked up a small transparent bag, which contained a blood-stained thinking chip.
"What is this?"
"It was taken out of Ke Ziqian's brain." Claire was not surprised to see Yu Zhesen's surprised expression. "The Returned Sect performed an illegal prosthetic transformation surgery on him, and relied on this implanted thinking chip to control his thinking.
Let him think that he is a warrior who has been trained by the 'organization' for many years."
"Those cult scum!"
Yu Zhesen felt a rush of blood rush to his head. He held his forehead and asked: "So... Ke Ziqian is not actually a core member of the Returned Sect at all?"
"He is only 19 years old. It is too easy to check his life history. He left school and entered society in just one year. He has no chance to become a core member of the Adventist sect."
Yu Zhesen recalled the way Ke Ziqian fought with him in the apartment building, and murmured: "But he looked really crazy at that time, and I believed him... thinking he was really a fanatical believer in a cult."
Claire stood up from the chair, walked over to him, patted his shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay. Remove this thinking chip and he will return to normal. I have had it checked by professionals and there is no evidence of his prefrontal lobe."
It was destroyed, but the original personality remained intact."
Yu Zhesen nodded, this should be the best result.
"Really, I don't know if the person who performed the cranial reconstruction surgery on him had a conscience or for some other reason. Although the cyber parts used are relatively inferior, at least the surgical procedures were rigorous." Claire sighed. p>
"Can we find out the source of the parts or the identity of the person who performed the surgery?"
"This is exactly what I plan to tell you next."
Claire handed the transparent bag containing the thinking chip taken out from Ke Ziqian's head to Yu Zhesen.
"Xiao Yu, can you help me go to Hongyu again to see if anyone there knows the origin of this chip."
This time Yu Zhesen did not refuse to escape. He glanced at the time and agreed: "I will go now. When we get there, Hongyu has just opened."
"Is my gun still with you? Go to the equipment department to get an armed belt."
"Okay, the instructor is waiting for news from me."
Yu Zhesen carefully put away the thinking chip that Claire gave him and saluted her.
Claire watched him leave with concern in her tone: "Be careful."
Yu Zhesen walked towards the elevator with his back to her, stretched out his arms and made a thumbs up gesture.
