Jane, who was wearing a gray cloak and robe and stood looking at the sea, still rubbed her inexplicably itchy nose, feeling like she wanted to sneeze but couldn't.
She was looking in the direction of Qidao City. On a clear day, she could occasionally see the mountains on the islands.
The distance was not far and it was not difficult to go back, but she couldn't take a step forward.
The pets that formed a bond at the beginning have different destinations. The civet cat was given to Yu Zhesen, and the kestrel soared in the sky again.
As for the "senior", after taking off the disguise, Jane still felt that she had no face to face him in the same way as before.
These days, she often dreams when she goes to bed at night. More than once, she dreams of living a life in the Security Bureau, and when she wakes up, she feels a sense of emptiness.
On the day of farewell, Yu Zhesen unexpectedly expressed his intention to retain her. For a fighter like him who maintains the order of the Iron Dome, such retention can be called a rare humbleness. Jane still couldn't help but think of her in the Ark.
Praying to return to the restored city.
Destiny is unpredictable. At the beginning, she had a real nostalgia and reluctance for Qidao City. When she returned to the land, she did not have much ambition. She just planned to lurk in obscurity. But everything that happened after that gradually broke away from her life.
Plan, Cheng Taiyi and his group who were supposed to be eliminated in the plan became her followers, and two former subordinates with different opinions, Minyuan and Alitanova, also became her companions again.
Jane still sometimes felt that she was drifting with the crowd, but that didn't seem to be the case. Driven by the current situation and fate, and by her own not-so-well-thought-out choices, her life deviated from the original plan and headed towards
A completely unpredictable path.
The infiltration failed completely. As the most successful wedge buried in the Security Bureau, her radical and vacillating actions ultimately destroyed the early management and disguise, and she lost the qualification to continue to stay in Fuxing City with a public identity.
This is a big price for individuals and organizations, so what did they get in exchange? Jane still asked herself.
[Me?] The shadow residing in her body asked an almost inaudible question.
"No, there's no point thinking about it now." Jane still rejected the idea of self-comfort she had just had, "No matter what, it's a done deal, you can't let me go back to an earlier time and make a new choice."
[I really can’t do it, I’m far from the ‘genuine’ one.] Shadow’s answer was a little humble.
"What exactly is an 'authentic product'? Is it the one that Yu Zhesen has?"
[Naturally, it was created by God Himself and was given all love and grace.]
Jane still sighed, raised her forehead and said, "Can you please stop using such a crazy term?"
[Aren’t you a high-ranking priest of a religious organization? 】
"Religion is just a means to unite people's hearts. The Return of God is a belief in creation, just like a civilization that has fallen into darkness created an artificial sun to save itself. Without a belief that can shine and heat, it will be difficult for us to survive in the real predicament of such a disparity in strength.
Just keep fighting."
【Can this be said? 】
"It doesn't matter, I think the comrades around me have already recognized this." Jane was still talking to herself facing the sea.
Min Yuan and Alita Nova, Cheng Taiyi and his younger brothers, these people have all lived in the Fuxing City for a long time. Unlike those children who were born on the Ark and never left the closed city inside the Ark,
I have never experienced the impact of the Iron Dome Order worldview.
"Speaking of which, I'm afraid Yu Zhesen hasn't fully grasped the power of the 'genuine product', right?"
[I think so, otherwise the trick of resetting the world line would not have been hidden from him.]
"You said before that if Tang Suguang's legacy could be found, it would be possible to complete your work."
[Haven’t you been to that other world? The research institute where the Iron Dome Civilization originated, the data I need to complete is there. 】
"It's been destroyed there. Even if the research institute hasn't been destroyed, we can't go there. It was only thanks to Min Yuan's superpower that we could travel through the void passage before it disappeared, but now the person who can create the void passage is dead.
.”
[It’s not important anymore, the core of that research institute has been taken away, in the hands of that cunning businessman who had dealings with you. 】
"Are you talking about Han Jinghu?"
[I can probably guess his plan. As long as he can crack the security lock of the core, he can inherit the legacy left by Tang Suguang. 】
"What's in the core?"
[All the secrets of Tang Suguang, as well as the advanced technologies that can have a dimensionality reduction impact on this world, including the fields of superpowers and exoskeletons. 】
Jane's head was buzzing, and her blood pressure increased uncontrollably.
It turns out that Han Jinghu had spent so much effort before, cooperating with Jin Guozheng and finding sects to join forces, in order to mess up the situation and take away the core of the institute.
All parties in that trip to the other world gained something, but I and my team didn't gain anything. They originally wanted to achieve the purpose of indirectly controlling Xingtian Heavy Industry by lobbying Han Jinglong to cooperate, but unfortunately this plan failed. Now it seems that the original plan
The choice of target was wrong. Han Jinglong and Xingtian Heavy Industry were nothing compared to that core.
[Have you finally realized that you missed something good? Hee hee...]
"What good does it do you to laugh at me now?" Jane still stamped her feet in annoyance, "Aren't we already allies on the same boat?"
[I am the mirror of your heart, and the despicable character I display is a true reflection of yourself.]
"Weren't you deeply influenced by that Japanese pig head? I feel sick just thinking about it..." Jane said with disgust, still holding her arms with goosebumps.
Shadow suddenly stopped talking, and Jane still couldn't sense her presence anymore. No matter how she called in her mind, she couldn't get a response.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Could it be that you were hurt by what you just said? Jane still regretted her unruly words.
"What are you doing here alone?" Alitanova's loud voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Jane still shrank her shoulders and turned around in surprise: "Rita? When did you come?"
"I just happened to be passing by." Alitanova replied frankly, "Cheng Taiyi and the others are widening the cave that is temporarily used as a submarine dock. Min Yuan and I took stock of the supplies on the submarine. If we continue to hide on this island, we will need food.
There won’t be enough to eat soon.”
"So fast? Didn't the Ship Fire Gang prepare a lot of supplies at the beginning..." Jane still couldn't believe it. She thought that her supply reserves were quite sufficient, and she had never felt nervous before.
"Master, please wake up. Everyone needs to eat. How can Cheng Taiyi and the others have the strength to work if they don't have enough to eat?" Alitanova rolled her eyes.
“Who is responsible for the management and distribution of supplies now?”
"The 'monkey hair' under Cheng Taiyi is said to have worked as a financial accountant at the Golden City Nightclub." Alitanova shrugged, "I'm not worried about them stealing materials. What I'm worried about is that you don't care about the expenses of this team.
Concept. If I guess correctly, you have no experience in leading a team of more than ten people, right?"
Jane still bowed her head honestly and admitted: "Indeed not..."
"Then what you promised before about the expedition to rescue Master Lu Hong was simply deceiving everyone? Have you made a rough calculation of how much supplies are needed for the expedition?"
"Uh...Rita, my idea is to discuss it carefully after we have established a foothold in this place..."
Alitanova sighed in disappointment, but she did not ask further questions, but said unprecedented words of solidarity: "First think about how to feed this large group of people. If you can't convince everyone that you are a
A qualified leader, Cheng Taiyi and his group will part ways with you sooner or later."
"I see."
"Min Yuan and I invested in you, don't let us regret it." Alitanova looked at her with complicated eyes, "Cheng Taiyi and his younger brother can go back to do the underworld business, but you have no way out, go back if you die.
heart."
A trace of panic flashed in Jane's eyes, and she hurriedly defended: "I didn't..."
Alitanova interrupted her: "You watch the sea from this place every day. On the other side is Qidao City. Do you think I don't know?"
Jane was still stunned, smiled helplessly, then turned away her face and muttered in a low voice: "Just take a look... Isn't that allowed?"
"It's better to end the hopeless thoughts as soon as possible." Alitanova turned around and waved: "Let's go and find someone with me to discuss solving the material problem."
